anarchism and Marxism (ambiguous friendship / rivalry) Un-Marxian **socialism**? Proudhon's "hatred"[?] of "communism" Herbert Read's critique of communist "stupidity"[?] about art, and the religious impulse

i don't feel equipped to say much about Marx(ism), having more or less — perhaps prejudicially and to my intellectual detriment — avoided it, and the stink of its stigma (for reasons related, i suppose, to both the general effect of anglo-american cold war propaganda [ie: the contingent context of my socialization] AND a cultivated anti-Stalinist, anti-authoritarian opposition), all my life.


 * in a hallway of ideologies, anarchism**

__identitarianism and ambiguity__: AMBIGUITY OF "-ISMS" — “is he (does he identify as)” — Woodcock’s silly dismissal of Chomsky (see also Woodcock’s criticism(s) of his own [actually quite intelligent] early writing on anarchism: “”as sectarian as any Trotskyite tract””?)

(intellectual integrity): and questions about...

Walter Benjamin’s critique of violence...

violence and Mumia Abu-Jamal? Facts and good faith - Peabody award (published “rumor”?) It seems certain that Mumia Abu-Jamal did not win a peabody award. On the other hand, if such a claim had never been made, many discussions of both his case (which as Amnesty International pointed out in their major statement, which, defensibly in hindsight, stopped short of endorsing many of the claims and demands that were often assumed among pro-Mumia activists) and, more importantly the related legal and political issues might not have taken place — and i might never have heard of the Peabody award in the first place. So in a way both Mumia and the Peabody awards gained prestige as a result of the false (or mistaken) claim.

(Alcoholics Anonymous as anarchistic movement: “principles before personalities”… and decentralized, of course… voluntary mutual aid)

peace: not the absence of conflict, but … non-violent resolution? — and dangerous teleology “no justice, no peace!” ? essentially contested concepts (and pluralism)

Levinas and Buber and Gustav Landauer (via Colin Ward) “ethics as first philosophy” certainty trap and epistemological regress (Heath)

i’m no semiotician, but it seems “socialist” is an empty (or over-meaningful?) signifier — like superheroes (Fingeroth, //Superman on the Couch//?), we make them mean whatever we choose — in the US, it’s used as an epithet or as an unspeakable evil from which to distinguish oneself

the conflation of Marx and his -ism, of his -ism and official totalitarian state ideology, the conflation of Marx and (the crimes of) the (nominally) communist state; fair? maybe… but

the dismissal, by presupposition, of anarchism is in fact ahistorical, and historically tragic (or farcical, already?)…

i am a concept hoarder.
