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demonstrations had been held in a dozen centers across the province, and six porn shops had closed, moved away or withdrawn much of their stock out of fear that they would be the ‘next target’.”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!

sometimes love is expressed in the form of violence: the child who kicks his dad when he is beating his brother, the lover who kills someone attacking his/her lover, the friend who pushes over a cop trying to arrest a friend, the person throwing a bottle at a cop shooting rubber bullets into a crowd of comrades, etc…

sometimes love means violence. sometimes love demands violence.

i love you all.

Love doesn’t mean violence, it means hugging cops until they bludgeon you to death. Manarchy means violence. Feminist nonviolence means fulfilling our roles as healing earth mothers and martyrs for the cause!

Jean Quan is Calling Out Occupy Oakland For Being Fucked Up.

Jean Quan said today that all of the the OO attendees are just a bunch of racist sexist manarchists that are unfairly persecuting her because of her gender and race. She is started initiating an accountability process for them on Saturday by gassing, shooting, arresting and disappearing hundreds of manarchists in Oakland. Manarchist-apologists have launched an effort to raise money for all these manarchists’ bail (The Occupy Oakland Bail Fund) and give them an easy way out. I bet everyone in jail is a bunch of rich white straight cis men, right?

Manarchists In History: The Niglistki of Russia

The Niglistki were women involved in the Russian nihilist movement which existed in the nineteenth century. The nihilist women rejected all aesthetic presentations of femininity and the traditional social life of Russian women. Many entered into “new marriages” with their male comrades, which were marriages in name only and allowed the women freedom from the traditional marital norms in Russian society. Many women, such as famed nihilist Olga Liubatovitch, went on to join the various cells which comprised the armed wing of the nihilist project. Liubatovitch co-authored a tract entitled The Terrorist Struggle, which advocated vast networks of small groups of insurgents as a way of attacking the Tsarist government, becoming as intraceable as possible, and disallowing any vanguardism or hierarchy to form within nihilist struggle. These cells ended up assassinating a number of prominent officials in Russia and sabotaging the Tsarist regime.

These nihilist manarchists didn’t understand that if we don’t have a positive worker’s utopia to fight for then we’re just going to give into our patriarchal destructive rage. And who wants that?

I really wish that all these manarchists would learn that waiting for the police to arrest you in a civil and nonviolent manner is far better than damaging that poor nonviolent fence.

Manarchists In History: N’Drea
In 1985, Andrea, a member of the French post-left group Os Cangaceiros, learns that she has cancer. After 5 years confronting the psychological and physical effects of chemotheraphy, she decides to turn her back on the medical system, choosing to die on her terms rather than live on those of the French health service and its almost complete domination by economic imperatives. To begin with, she writes two letters: one to the nurses who had been looking after her, the other to her friend Bella. What follows is the making of her own end, an assertion of living against a society which produces illness and isolation.
In a collection of her final letters, Andrea says:
“My story, in the end, is a very ordinary one: there is nothing particularly special about walking out of hospital before the last stage of chemotherapy. I realize that I have made a big meal out of a tiny slice of experience. But I was about to be deprived of my own death, hence of my life—which had been founded on the refusal of dispossession. By reappropriating my end I have retrieved what was at the beginning, and regained an understanding of my rebellion. I now see how my life, after childhood’s song of innocence, became what it was in its essence, namely a song of experience. Under this aspect it has strategic lessons to offer.”

All of that violent sabotage with Os Cangaceiros was fucked up enough, but then you had to write your final thoughts on life in really inaccessible language like this. N’Drea, you were totally a manarchist.

There were a lot of manarchists in Oakland this week. Look at that poor innocent child being indoctrinated into manarchist street battles! Someone should’ve brought them to a nice safe nonprofit meeting instead.
