Black Armed Joy: Some Notes Towards a Black Theory of Insurrectionary Anarchy
1/2 sized ⦁ 16 pages
Note from haters cafe: This essay was submitted to us by a group of Black anarchists that wish to remain anonymous, the haters collective are not the authors.
This essay is dedicated to the memory of our revolutionary elder, theorist, and warrior Russell Maroon Shoatz
This essay was inspired partially by one of our comrades while we were discussing the failures of non-violence as a tactic and philosophy. She said something along the lines of “I was raised by radicals from the 1960s and 1970s. If you were a Panther and you got caught, you were doing something wrong”. The zine is a product of a variety of conversations among Black anarchists in the post-George Floyd rebellion although many of these strands of thought have existed prior to this moment. We have three questions we hope to address in this zine.
What would an insurrectionary anarchist position thoroughly rooted in Black radicalism and Black revolt mean? How does the current white insurrectionary anarchist milieu fail? How can Black revolutionaries extend the insurrection?
