Look At These Fucking Manarchists

Manarchist Book Review: Bash Back! Queer Ultraviolence

Recently, those of us at LATFM had the displeasure of coming across what is surely one of the most manarchist publications in years.  The volume, entitled, Bash Back!: Queer Ultraviolence is an anthology of writing by straight white men who are pretending to be women, people of color, and queers in order to justify their violent lack of responsibility and consensus-breaking.  From using the master’s violence to dismantle the master’s house to attacking the important work that feminist organizers have been doing for years, this book stops at nothing to slander and defame real community organizers and affected communities.  There has been a nationwide tour for the book in which two white men have traveled from city-to-city, spreading their macho anti-feminist vitriol everywhere they go, even having the nerve to claim that they’re “queers”.  But we know that queers are nonviolent, restorative-justice advocates that just want to make society more inclusive, not angry nihilist dude-bros that want to break windows with their dicks.  Don’t you know queers are supposed to be sad puppy dogs who cry about their hurt feelings instead of fighting back and engage in street theater once a year to tell the capitalists who’s boss? You really need to work on your shit, Tegan, Fray, and the rest of you manarchists who contributed to BB!: Queer Ultraviolence!

This week in Bolivia, a bunch of ableist manarchist rioters clashed with police forces over the country’s broken welfare system.  Don’t they know that fighting cops is really privileged and fucked up?

Unfortunately, Chris Hedges was unable to curb the hypermasculine cancer that is the Black Bloc manarchists. Manarchist cancer has spread to Greece, where today in Athens 100,000 manarchists took to the streets, ejaculating fire from their giant insurrecto-dicks.  If you look closely, you can see the bulges in the photo.

Manarchists In History: Ann Hansen

Ann Hansen is an anarchist militant  and one of the most well-known rebels from Canada.  She was one of the founders of the Squamish 5 and the Wimmin’s Fire Brigade, groups of (m)anarchists that conducted a string of arsons against sex shops in Canada.  In 1982 they firebombed Red Hot Videos, a porn shop in Vancouver that was responsible for circulating videos of gang rape caught on film.  Hansen explained the reasons for the bombing:

“These actions are worth looking at because they are a powerful reminder that the physical dismantling of patriarchy is just as important and necessary as the dismantling of patriarchy in our minds. Wimmin’s groups had been fighting for six months against the Red Hot chain when The Wimmin’s Fire Brigade lit the way to victory with firebombs: Within a few weeks, scores of wimmin’s groups of all stripes had issued statements of sympathy and understanding for the action, demonstrations had been held in a dozen centers across the province, and six porn shops had closed, moved away or withdrawn much of their stock out of fear that they would be the ‘next target’.”

Ann, don’t you know that being a radical woman means acknowledging your womanly role of healing society’s wounds, not giving into the patriarchy and losing the moral high-ground!
