From: Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology, p 45
“A revolution on a world scale will take a very long time. But it is also possible to recognize that it is already starting to happen. The easiest way to get our minds around it is to stop thinking about revolution as a thing – “the” revolution, the great cataclysmic break- and instead ask “what is revolutionary action?” We could then suggest: revolutionary action is any collective action which rejects, and therefore confronts, some form of power or domination and in doing so, reconstitutes social relations- even within the collectivity- in that light… And history shows us that the continual accumulation of such acts can change (almost) everything.”
p 76
“The moment we stop insisting on viewing forms of action only by their function in reproducing larger, total, forms of inequality of power, we will also be able to see that anarchist social relations and non-alienated forms of action are all around us. And this is critical because it shows that anarchism is, already, and has always been, one of the main bases for human interaction. We self-organize and engage in mutual aid all the time. We always have… [R]evolutionary constituencies always involve a tacit alliance between the least alienated and the most oppressed.”
