Attack the System
Radicalizing the Center, Part Two: Reflections on Movement Building

May 26, 2013

Keith Preston continues his discussion of how to bring revolutionary anarchist ideas into the mainstream.

Topics include:

• How the prevalence of cultural leftist fanaticism within the anarchist milieu is undermining the growth of the movement and outreach efforts.
• Why the state is a unique institution of oppression and why efforts to equate statism with other forms of authoritarianism are misguided.
• Why a radical libertarian movement must ultimately be oriented towards the cultural center of any given society in order to achieve political success.
• Why an anti-state movement in the United States must appeal to the entire cross section of political and cultural opinion.
• How the classical anarchist movements faced a different political context from modern anarchists movements.
• How the process of revolutionary build up by revolutionary anarchist movements fits well with prevailing trends in demographics, economics, technology, and military evolution.
