Title: Toward Insurrection Subtitle: Anarchist Strategy in an Era of Popular Revolt Date: Summer 2021 Source: Retrieved on 2021-07-03 from [[https://phlanticap.noblogs.org/toward-insurrection-anarchist-strategy-in-an-era-of-popular-revolt/]] Notes: Submitted to Philly Anti-Capitalist.towardsinsurrection@riseup.net Authors: Anonymous Topics: United States of America, George Floyd uprising, Black Lives Matter, whiteness Published: 2021-07-04 06:25:34Z
What role can anarchists in the United States play in popular uprisings like the ones
of 2020? While many of us made solid contributions to the riots, the events of last
year also highlighted some of our significant deficiencies. Anarchistsâ attempts to
show up to riots in the ways in which weâre accustomed, at least here in Philly, often
felt ineffective and at best out of touch with those around us. I still believe that
anarchists have the potential to contribute in crucial ways to destroying this system
and making another end of the world possible. At this point, though, a willingness
to reflect on and question our views is needed in order to really move in that
direction.
This question of anarchist participation is fundamentally intertwined with issues
around race and whiteness, and the past yearâs discourse on the topic has felt typically
inadequate in addressing these questions. Leaving the bad-faith nature of many of
the critiques aside, many white anarchists have found it easier to dismiss criticisms
by automatically conflating them with liberalism or political opportunism. While
this is often accurate, it shouldnât allow us to not take questions about our
relationship to whiteness seriously. Whiteness isnât just a skin color that non-white
people happen to be skeptical of. Itâs also a particular kind of colonized (and
colonizing) mentality that restricts our imagination and can affect everything from
how we interact in the streets to what we as individuals personally envision as our
insurrectionary future (or lack thereof).
Aside from the anarchists who were radicalized over this past year, most anarchists
today came into radical politics through resistance to Trumpâs presidency (which
centered on an âantifaâ that was majority white in the public imaginary, and often in
reality), an Occupy movement dominated by white progressives, or what are now
called the anti-globalization struggles of the early 2000âs. Throughout these
movements, anarchists of color have also appeared alongside white anarchists in the
streets, though not necessarily identifying with them, and have tried to carve out
space for the primacy of anti-racist struggles. But this past year has been a visceral
and unavoidable reminder that Black (as well as Indigenous) radical struggles against
the state have always been and continue to be far more powerful than most
anarchistsâ occasional vandalisms, or even our more targeted (but isolated) acts of
property destruction.
This article tries to take seriously the claim that white people, including white
anarchists, will not be the protagonists of liberatory struggle in the United States â
not in order to marginalize anarchistsâ uncompromised visions of freedom from the
state, capital, and white supremacy, but instead to reveal some underexplored
strategies for how we might actually get there. Today we face an unprecedented crisis
of capital and the state, and despite our best efforts none of us can predict how any
of it will shake out. Despite the Biden administrationâs best efforts to restore order
and recuperate rebellion, it feels like the chaos that boiled over last year is fated to
return, especially as ecological and economic collapse creep closer and the everyday
executions of Black people continue with no particular changes that we can observe.
In this context, we look around and take our inspiration from the resistance we see
actually happening, even if it counteracts some of our inherited assumptions and
desires. Right now, all possibilities are on the table.
This essay begins with some brief reflections on anarchist activity in the context of
uprisings in several cities in the U.S. over this past year. In cities like Portland and
Seattle, anarchist activity has shown both the potential and the limits of some tried-
and-true tactics of the insurrectionary anarchist approach thatâs been established in
the U.S. over the past couple decades. The rest of the essay explores other traditions
that might expand our sense of how insurrections occur and how we might personally
participate in moving things in that direction. We also include [not in the online
version] a Philly-specific map that we hope will provide a useful resource for readers
in Philly. Maybe itâll also inspire others elsewhere in how they approach future
moments of potential insurrection and State collapse.
Unlike cities like Philly, where open conflict with the cops erupted for only a few
days and was quickly followed by weeks of peaceful protests, Portland protesters kept
rioting against the police all summer and have been an inspiration for their bravery
and dedication in the streets. For the past year, black blocs have consistently done
âdirect actionsâ in which they marched to a police building or until they were met
with a line of riot cops, where fighting and destruction would ensue.
From afar, it also looks like clandestine actions have been on the rise in Portland
since at least the fall of 2020. The recently published zine âThis Rose Has Thorns:
A Year of Anarchist Attacks in So-Called Portlandâ compiles communiques from
these actions, including one that reports setting an unattended cop car on fire
overnight (it also references the four police vehicles that were similarly targeted in
Philly in August 2020). These acts seem strategically important, not necessarily in
their immediate impact, but at least in developing skills that can help take riots to
the next level or prepare people to take part in some kind of guerilla strategy, if the
State reaches a certain point of instability. The April 12th attack on Portland Police
Bureau cars in their parking lot, while a demonstration was attacking cops head-on
at the sheriffâs headquarters elsewhere, is an example of moving towards this type of
anarchist contribution to a mass uprising.
The communiques accompanying these actions seem to be thinking through some
of the limits of Portlandâs ongoing street-fighting strategy. One communique notes
that âthe cops have made public statements addressing how they are not responding
to 911 calls due to their focus on brutally attacking and arresting protesters,â
implying that this frees up possibilities for anarchists to attack outside demos. The
writers additionally note that âthe police are not (and should not) be our only targetâ
(âStarbucks and Whole Foods Attacked for Night 100â). Another communique
reports removing and destroying dozens of Amazon Ring and Google Nest doorbell
cameras, encouraging us to expand our understanding of law enforcement to include
these elements of surveillance.
The goals expressed in this communique and others, though, are themselves limited
to spreading action across the city â which in reality is not a goal, but more like a
strategy for getting to one. We tend not to name the goal itself â insurrection? â
maybe because it seems so far out of reach, or because we believe that insurrection is
an ongoing process, rather than a one-and-done event like the ârevolutionsâ of the
past. It remains to be said, though, that going out to fight the cops head-on night
after night is not a limited strategy because it doesnât stretch the cops thin enough
â although that is certainly true â but because it seems unlikely to destroy what
we ultimately want to see destroyed.
While radicals in Portland seem to be concentrating on escalating street-fighting
tactics and honing their ability to do targeted clandestine attacks, anarchists in
Seattle have proposed broadening these approaches through decentralized action.
âDecentralized Action: A Brief History and Tactical Proposalâ (published on Puget
Sound Anarchists in November 2020) describes the regular marches as âdaily actions
tying up and attacking the infrastructure which maintains the white-supremacist
American police stateâ and notes that the âhigh visibility of these ongoing actions
opens up considerable space for decentralized militant actions to occur away from
the public callouts.â The proposal emphasizes decentralizing action in order to
minimize police efficacy (with examples ranging from incidents during the George
Floyd rebellions, to attacks on fascists, to prior yearsâ May Day calls for autonomous
actions). It proposes attacking targets elsewhere in the city at the same time that
mass public mobilizations are happening.
I think itâs important in these moments to be clear about how exactly this might
move us towards collective liberation. Is the idea to take a kind of vengeful pleasure
as the cops become spread thin and helpless, lacking resources and publicly losing
their shit? Regardless of whatever else happened, I think a lot of us experienced that
particular type of joy last summer. Is it to experiment with our capacity to attack,
pitting ourselves against the vast resources of the state? Is it a kind of practice for an
insurrection, with many more steps yet to be taken? Could it itself lead to an
insurrection?
In Philly, anarchists were far from being the main character of the 2020 uprisings.
Most anarchists attended the Walter Wallace riots around 52nd St in October in an
observational or supportive role, joining the fierce street fighting initiated by the
majority-black residents of that neighborhood. In that context, those who arrived in
black bloc were met with skepticism and occasionally with violence. At least one
group of anarchists in bloc got jumped near 52nd St, while another pair were accused
of being cops, then agitators, and narrowly avoided being attacked.
It was heartwarming to see multi-racial groups of people coming together to fight
cops in the streets and set things on fire â this happened especially in May, when
riots erupted in the wealthier downtown, commercial zone where none of us had
anything at stake and everything felt up for grabs. The antipathy towards anarchists
in bloc, though, when the riots moved to West Philly â a gentrifying neighborhood
where many of us live, but are not originally from â shows us that these multi-racial
moments of struggle are far from doing away the real hierarchies and differences
between us, even in the joy and chaos of the moment. Many of us who are white
anarchists severely underestimate the extent to which non-white people, whether
rebels or reactionaries, distrust white people, regardless of what they hear us say
about our politics. This distrust is heightened when they see us in their places of
residence.
This brings up questions of how (or whether) to participate in such uprisings, and
how to present ourselves in the process. One approach would be to show up in a role
thatâs clearly supportive and shows solidarity â handing out rocks and bats to people
fighting cops, offering assistance to people getting tear gassed while looting. Others
have pointed out the importance of responding to accusations against us in the
moment, when possible, and engaging in conversations about what weâre doing there
and why.
As white radicals we can only get more answers to these questions by having more
honest conversations about how we relate to and carry ourselves in the midst of a
struggle that is fundamentally about and carried out by Black people. As a multi-
racial anarchist space, we can look for additional answers by considering how we as
anarchists can contribute to destabilizing State power in ways that only we as
anarchists will want to do (this aspect is addressed in the following section, âBeyond
the Riotâ). In the case of white radicals especially, it would benefit us to pay closer
attention to what non-anarchists are saying, since our subcultural isolation can lead
us to make mistaken assumptions about what we have in common with other rioters.
Anarchists often see riots as some kind of confirmation of our own desires and ways
of seeing things, for example, when in reality there is probably a lot going on there
that is well out of the scope of our experience and understanding. This doesnât mean
compromising our core principles, it just means that none of us know everything and
we can benefit from being more flexible and creative, something we pride ourselves
on as anarchists anyway.
One example would be to consider the conditions under which something like black
bloc emerged and why we tend to react so defensively whenever that tactic is
questioned. The bloc has been a major point of identity for most of us anarchists in
the U.S. since, to my knowledge, the anti-globalization struggles of the 2000s. In
the era of summit-hopping, anarchists would form a massive bloc within an even
larger, more liberal march. This allowed them to signal militancy while also using
the bigger, more liberal crowd as a shield. This use of bloc continued in bigger cities
more recently, for example in New York during the Occupy era.
Itâs also accustomed us to having to constantly defend the use of bloc â to liberals
â since it is now (usually correctly) associated with an intention to escalate or to
support escalation in the context of a public demonstration. Despite these
interminable arguments, bloc has still been the best way to keep ourselves safe while
we engage in property destruction or otherwise break the law. Everyone wearing the
same color provides anonymity on a whole different level.
But what about when the larger crowd around us is not a bunch of (mostly white)
liberals and pacifists, but Black or other non-white people who are for the most part
attacking the police and businesses much more intensely than the individuals in bloc?
When people from those populations are threatening or attacking us for arriving
dressed all in black, maybe that is no longer the safest outfit for us. Maybe more
conversations and propaganda will open up understanding as to why we dress that
way, but in its absence, it is understandable why the intentions of a group of white
people in bloc roving around a riotous Black neighborhood, the residences and
existences of whom have already been under threat by white people for generations,
are not automatically trusted. And when we are mostly barely keeping up in the
streets, and are not really capable of defending ourselves from attack by people we
thought might be comrades, does the militancy of the all-black aesthetic really still
feel appropriate for us?
The geography of the city is complex and also worth considering along race and class
lines, whether in the context of mass rioting or autonomous demos. On the first
night of the riots following Walter Wallaceâs death in October, the big march that
gathered in West Philly split between protesters who headed east to the more
gentrified University City area, and others who turned back west to the precinct
where Wallaceâs family was gathered. Tension erupted in this split between people
who felt that everyone should follow the lead of the grieving family and people who
wanted to target UCity because it was a whiter and wealthier neighborhood. In the
end, the UCity march did significant damage to police stations in that neighborhood
and marched victoriously back west to 52nd Street, where by that time rioting and
looting had already been initiated on a massive scale by residents of that area.
Anarchists are not necessarily the most militant rioters or looters, then, but we have
visions of a future free of oppression, and of how to get there, that others may not.
With regard to street fighting and action, this means we can think purposefully and
in advance about what we might target in moments of mass uprisings. As the Seattle
anarchists and others have pointed out, we can intentionally decentralize our attacks
so as to make it harder for police to do their job. This can prolong riots and expand
the scope of an uprisingâs destructiveness, but letâs not lose sight of the fact that the
most desirable outcome of this approach would be to ultimately make that job â
policing â permanently impossible. In order to do so, we must again think not only
about decentralizing our actions, but also what our actions target. What elements of
the State might we be able to take out that, coordinated with a sustained crisis of
policing, could take mass uprisings over the precipice of State collapse?
These questions might feel like a total nosedive into the realm of fantasy at this point
(sorry to the Philly nihilists reading this), but I think it makes sense for those of us
who talk about destroying the State and are out in the streets about it to think about
how we might get there. Moreover, if things eventually do get completely out of the
Stateâs control, how would we then help hold whatever it is weâve gained? Especially
if defending a city like Philly involves opening up resources on a massive scale, so
that the State canât creep back in because it turns out people canât live without it. It
also involves protecting comrades against right-wing mob reaction and intervening
so that certain other groups canât swoop in and turn it all into some kind of disgusting
authoritarian socialist paradise. Itâs not possible, nor is it desirable, for us to plan
these things in advance, but that doesnât mean we shouldnât think and dream and
prepare for them.
In the Bay Area, radicals have taken up a use of clandestine attack that, while not
happening at exactly the same time as mass protests in the streets, capitalizes on
popular sentiment against governance and directly targets those responsible. In July
2020, as resistance swelled around the crises of policing and housing, vandals
targeted the mayor of Oaklandâs home; in January 2021, Nancy Pelosiâs house in San
Francisco was vandalized along with that of Mitch McConnell in Kentucky,
expressing widespread rage at the time about the U.S. governmentâs failure to give
us our money. Also in January, more than 30 anti-racists attacked San Franciscoâs
ICE office, expressing an intention âto initiate what will hopefully be the first in a
series of breaks into and out of prisons and detention centers throughout the
country.â It remains to be seen if more of us will dare to emulate (and take much
further) actions like these that directly target State institutions and the individuals
in charge, especially in moments when the destabilizing context of mass protests
might exponentially multiply such attacksâ effects.
in the United States
The picture Iâve been painting of black bloc anarchists stepping into a Black
neighborhood thatâs already on fire leads us to some bigger questions about the
context in which most anarchists find ourselves in this blood-soaked, colonized,
white supremacist continent. When we ask the deep question â how could an
insurrection actually happen here? â and begin to prepare ourselves to participate
in its answer, we must take into account several things.
The United States is an enemy as such, but also insofar as it is still the primary
manager of a capitalist world system. Less acknowledged and even less understood,
the United States is also a settler colonial project that depends for its existence on an
ongoing legacy of chattel slavery. Certain populations on this continent have been at
war with the settler project, whether to maintain territory or evade forced labor, since
its inception. While there have certainly been many white radicals and anarchists
who took immense risks to fight American oppression, the most forceful and
effective resistance has by necessity always been by Black people and Indigenous
nations directly threatened with extinction by the U.S. Studying these historical
successes and their limitations can offer us some important insights into how
insurrection could spread in the United States.
Though we can call very few revolutions or struggles âsuccessfulâ when global
capitalism and colonization are still in effect, the experiments of insurgents
demonstrate pretty conclusively the limits of centralization and the advantages of
decentralized fighting when it comes to winning particular battles or regaining stolen
territory. Russell Maroon Shoatz, a formerly BLA-affiliated political prisoner and
theorist, argues that the Maroon tradition in North and South America shows over
and over again the efficacy of decentralized warfare, rather than a centralized party
or vanguard: âThroughout the western hemisphere, we witness these collective
Maroons developing and using a very effective form of decentralized organizing that
not only served to help them defeat their former enslavers, but has helped them
remain autonomous from all unwanted overseers for hundreds of years â until our
timeâ (110).
As Shoatz points out in his discussion of the history of Suriname, the Africans who
had been brought there and then became Maroons were from many different
backgrounds from one another. This was another reason it was crucial to organize
in a decentralized manner; they managed to stick together through a âcollective focus
on defeating their enslaversâ attempts to control themâ (110). This was the only thing
like âcentralizationâ that brought them together, given the significant differences
among them. Decisions were made democratically, according to Maroonâs research,
then coordinated and carried out by decentralized groups. Decentralization, as many
insurrectionary anarchists have also tried to point out, does not have to mean a lack
of coordination. These formations prevented imperial powers like the Dutch and
English from being able to target a particular group or leadership and thus take out
the whole movement. Decentralization is the only way to make an insurrectionary
movement unbeatable against a resourced and centralized State power.
The Haitian Revolution from 1791-1804, which is the only revolution in which an
enslaved population rebelled against their imperial captors and won, also used
decentralized elements. Once the revolution was over, its leaders came into power
and sought to tie Haitian peasants to plantation agriculture once more and force
their participation in the global economy. Ordinary Haitians resisted this
throughout the 1800s, acquiring land for themselves rather than working for others.
They withdrew from the market economy by squatting former plantations, moving
to remote mountains, and literally hiding their farms from view. This land-based
strategy was coupled with armed resistance from below â setting fire to slave huts,
sugar mills, and other plantation infrastructure, plus continued practices of West
African voodoo and secret societies, which nurtured traditional spirituality and the
lifeways of a culture. Johnhenry Gonzalez notes that by seeking refuge in the hills
and appropriating land on which to grow their own food, they gradually undermined
the plantation system and ultimately destroyed it. Gonzalez argues that these land-
based approaches made Haiti a âmaroon nationâ that lived outside the world
economy of its day.
The original Indigenous inhabitants of what is now the United States also managed
to maintain their distance for generations despite state aggression. This history has
many potential lessons and ways of reshaping our worldviews, and we canât do it
justice here. The most fundamental lesson, though, is again about the primacy of
land â the United States remains a settler-colonial nation that is all about
maintaining its hold on land that it stole.
This is technically true of any nation-state (that its fundamental goal is to take and
hold territory), but in a settler-colonial one like the U.S., it means, first of all, that
the U.S. has specialized methods of taking and controlling territory that it continues
to use on all the populations it controls domestically and attacks abroad. James
Grenier calls this the âAmerican way of warâ â a type of irregular warfare âwhose
purpose is to destroy the will of the enemy people or their capacity to resist,
employing any means necessary but mainly by attacking civilians and their support
systems, such as food supply...[It] encouraged attacks upon and the destruction of
noncombatants, villages and agricultural resources ... in shockingly violent
campaigns to achieve their goals of conquestâ (Grenier, quoted in Dunbar-Ortiz 58,
219).
It also means that the U.S. remains in a (mostly hidden) ongoing war with those it
stole the land from, many of whom are still here. We can approach our
insurrectionary aspirations in part by making that war more visible and taking a side
in it, and with the understanding that the land has been devastated by settlers and
needs to be restored to those who have historically shown they are committed to
more responsible relations with it. Moreover, many radicalsâ utopian ideals or
notions (such as âthe commonsâ) are at best tone-deaf to the realities of Indigenous
people, and in many cases perpetuate settlersâ hold on the land instead of taking steps
to end it. Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz writes in her introduction to <em>An Indigenous Peoplesâ
History of the United States</em>, with regard to the willful optimism shared by liberals and
many radicals: âThose who seek history with an upbeat ending, a history of
redemption and reconciliation, may look around and observe that such a conclusion
is not visible, not even in utopian dreams of a better societyâ (2).
Moreover, while individual racists unfortunately exist all around the world, a specific
kind of white supremacist vigilante violence has played a key role in establishing and
upholding settler colonies like the United States. Dunbar-Ortiz writes: âWestern
empire was brought about by âsmall groups of frontiersmen, separated from each
other by great distances,â i.e. settler rangers who autonomously destroyed
Indigenous towns and food supplies. Americaâs values of democracy and dispersed,
self-sufficient individualism continue to encourage its citizens to independently take
initiative to enforce its racist order â the white vigilante mobs we see today are the
continuation of a foundational traditional that is critical to the operation of the
United States.
Peter Gelderloos (and many others) have argued that this makes the framework of
âanti-fascismâ insufficient in a context like the U.S. â settler states encourage a
diffuse model of white supremacy, rather than fascismâs centralized model, âbecause
the entire point is to get all people who are classified as white to reproduce it
voluntarilyâ (35). As Yannick Giovanni Marshall writes, âThe right to go on a racist
expedition to stop, harass, and kill with effective impunity was not invented by the
modern police but was woven into the settler project of the US colony. It is an
assumed birthright in settler culture.â
Moreover, in contrast to the disciplined adherents of a fascist government, the white
mobs of a settler society often seemingly âconflictâ with the official views or practices
of the government (as Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz has outlined), but ultimately align as
two complementary strategies of enforcing racial order with and without the law.
For example, âthe regular army provided lethal backup for settler counterinsurgency
in slaughtering the buffalo, the food supply of Plains peoples, as well as making
continuous raids on settlements to kill or confine the families of the Indigenous
fightersâ (Dunbar-Ortiz, 220). Hence the apparent conflict between white mobs and
the U.S. government â most recently with the notorious January 6th Capitol
takeover â which in reality serves the U.S.âs white supremacist project, while
allowing the State itself to look relatively innocent in the process.
What does this all mean for insurrectionaries here and now in the United States?
While weâve already discussed the need for destructive attacks and other major
interventions into moments of widespread unrest, the following concepts might help
develop a longer-game approach to insurrection:
- **Decentralization**: In addition to spreading out our activities during another
mobilization, those of us who are drawn to this sort of thing can also study
guerilla strategy and skills, as this would be the way to go up against the State
(and everyday right-wing vigilantes) in the event of an actual collapse.
- **Multi-racial struggles and white ârace traitorsâ**: Our personal visions of rebellion
and our role in it should be discussed honestly within anarchist spaces,
political organizations, friend groups, and/or other people in our lives,
especially across racial lines if possible. The point of this is to build trust and
relationships
that can push back against and betray whiteness,
Eurocentricism, and everything else the State stands for. As we saw last year,
the State and the media aggressively attempt to worsen interracial distrust
once multi-racial uprisings break out, so working on building what
foundations we can in advance would help us all emerge stronger from
repression and deter recuperation. We will not be able to accomplish much
without figuring out how to operate together (to a certain extent) despite our
significant differences.
- **Collective survival**: The authors of âA Wager on the Futureâ wrote back in
2015, âIn whatever form, we must all start posing the question of survival.
This means that the projects and activities we encourage and amplify through
organization should concern themselves with the self-organization of life; that
they should be useful for us as well as for other people; that they should
support and augment our capacities of struggle, understanding struggle as a
basic aspect of survival for people who desire libertyâ (45). Survival-based
strategies and fighting-based strategies (similarly to social and anti-social
insurrectionalism) are most effective when they complement one another in a
kind of ecosystem of struggle. The authors cite as an example: âAs a Mapuche
comrade said, explaining a project for generating electricity in a community
in resistance, âWe donât want to generate our own electricity just to achieve
self-sufficiency. By making our own electricity, we can attack and sabotage
the infrastructures of the State and the companies that occupy our territory,
infrastructures we currently depend onââ (46).
- **Land**: Taking back land from the United States and restoring it whenever
possible to Indigenous stewardship is an aspect of the âcollective survivalâ
strategy discussed above, but such a foundational one that it merits its own
discussion. Capitalism, or civilization more broadly, relies on cutting people
off from self-sufficiency, a major component of which is the ability to grow
food and access water. Restoring these abilities is crucial to ending capitalism
and all other forms of social control; it broadens the possibility of autonomous
survival. Indigenous people are at the forefront of this effort not just for ethical
reasons, but for practical ones, since many still carry traditional knowledge of
how the land works. As Dunbar-Ortiz writes, âIndigenous peoples offer
possibilities for life after empireâ (235).
- **Repression on multiple fronts**: While we are familiar with State repression and
the well-known Leftist betrayals of revolutionary undertakings in the 20th
century, we are also up against white vigilante groups that aggressively seek to
carry on the legacy of their settler ancestors. Self-defense is important and we
should all be down to assess and discuss with our close comrades what our
capacity is for dealing with these kinds of threats, and what skills we still need
to learn. Not everyone has to take part in these types of struggles, but those of
us who say we want to need to be honest with ourselves about what weâre
willing to do.
