Zine: Accursed Anarchism: Five Post-Anarchist Meditations on Bataille by Saint Schmidt

A freshly layed out zine of a provocative text from 2009. Saint Schmidt throws five fucking Bataillean bricks thru anarchism’s storefront windows. It’s not the first time in print, but not available online and I’m currently unaware of the distro/press/project that produced it or where to find it.

From the text:

“If we may say that hope is worth retaining, let it be for a world capable of shedding the authority of the idea and its subsequent form; while we may let a thousand hope blocs bloom, we may still only hope to find the words capable of short-circuiting the routine-consciousness of radicals: hope that these words will at once shock and rewire you: the only thing holding you anarchists back is your anarchism.”

Zine: Boundlessness by Rydra Wrong

Announcing FAGGOTCRIMEWAVE as a new publishing project with our first offer:

Boundlessness by Rydra Wrong, originally a blog post on the Free Radical Radio site that deserves to be in print. Rydra’s resonant words explore the ethical and emotional implications of egoism, pessimism, nihilism, anarchism, and what it means to have a self.

From the text:

“What am I to do when I live in a world that is as indifferent towards me as I am towards it?  How do I live in this world when I am positioned in it physically, but against the entirety of the social constructions of man(and god!)?  How can I be in the world but also be on the margins of it? Does my center hold no matter which edge I exist on? Being anarchistic/nihilistic positions me on a fringe of the fringe, on an intellectual/conceptual and sometimes physical margin.  Being a nihilist or egoist or a label less amoral weirdo among weirdos puts me further on that fringe and deeper into the margins. This is something I have at times begrudged the world for but never truly minded.”
