Tips for Radicals

Aiming to be a "blog of the gaps" to cover things that other radical blogs oftem miss — what we want, our journey there, and issues along the way.

To help you searching the blog, I use the following tags to categorise posts:

  • theory - ways of structuring the world
  • strategy - plans to achieve the theories
  • tools - specific ways to (help) achieve the strategy
  • tips - advice that could help you in your life and action
  • examples and analysis of existing campaigns

For more info, see the about this blog page.

Please send in your own blog posts, links, comments, or article ideas either as a submission or an ask - always welcome.
"if you don't have a strategy, you're part of someone else's strategy."
– a. toffler

"What can we do today, so that tomorrow we can do what we are unable to do today?"
– Paulo Freire


I also run a more scatter-shot blog full of incoherent rants and tumblr arguments. Sorry about that.

Like colonialism and race, gender plays an enormous role in the social and material conditions of this society. It is an oppressive system that is deeply intertwined with capitalism, but cannot be reduced to merely a manifestation of capitalism. If we are against oppressive systems, we must strive to make gender oppression central to our analysis and struggles. And yet, most insurrectionists again will complain of feminism’s “identity politics.” Historical and material conditions must necessarily guide us at least somewhat as we seek strategies to end oppression, and those IA-identified folks who refuse to respect those who are oppressed as women/gender-nonconforming folks to struggle against sexism are abjectly and transparently reactionary.
Same guy, rebutting an insurrectionary anarchist with… well, not-exclusively-insurrectionist anarchism.
