Shoutout to No Name Books from the bottom of my heart. Yo Monsour, where you at? Yo Coffin, where you at? Yo Hestand, where you at? Much love, comrades.

I need Comrade Devil at Michael Unit to be advise you are needing to advice all inmates that ACA Toney Parker, Denise Robinson, Gar C. Mohr, Bryan Collier are on my class action lawsuit, as well as every single TBCJ member. You in there, begin the submission of all oppressive policy and fuckery.

I’ve got 2 class actions on ACA/TBCJ/TDCJ and all are valid and active. Here is my request, as part of the TEAMONE network, to create the best kind of trouble that Texas needs:

We need comrades on every unit in Texas to do the same. Report “intentional oppression”: 1^st, 8^th and 14^th Amendment Rights violations. Our is goal is to bring our oppressors into the courts to answer for all the violence on anarchist prisoners, and for the policy that pushes people to suicide. No matter what you use as your grounds, it will not miss. Now is the time to bring all our complaints into the courts so that Congress can see our unity. Go forth, don’t look back.

My outside supporters – please email your support to USDC-Southern District judge Jeff V. Brown. Let ’em know. Emails will go to his case-manager:

What is anarchism anyways?

“I am an Anarchist! Wherefore I will Not rule, and also ruled I will not be!”

John Henry Mackay

Anarchism is the absence of authority, by consequence a lack of hierarchy. You will not lead me, nor I you. None shall subjugate another, for the autonomy of the individual is of utmost importance. There is no person of more value than any other, we are all uniquely worthy of commanding ourselves. To rule over another is a cruel robbery of their whole world. Anarchism is the realization of the self, of the innumerable powers acting unto it. With no need to obey, you may finally foster free thought and possess total control of your will.

Anarchists tend to reject most schools of traditional thought. As we are entrenched in a hierarchical existence, a majority of norms and customs are reflective. Law, government, family, religion, and gender might encompass some of the ideas an anarchist chooses to negate. You will seldom find agreement from anarchist-to-anarchist. We all wield our own lens with which to analyze the world. Government is largely seen as unnecessary and a farce; Law as a cold and indifferent detachment; Money an arbitrary valuing of our time and reality; Religion a deception to control. Many anarchists hold that these concepts form hierarchy by virtue, that these are merely the present tools of authority we are told to be needed.

I am an individualist anarchist, an egoist, and an illegalist. My anarchy is that of self-realization, of the liberation of my Ego from all that would seek to control it. I see these forces primarily as Capital, the Church, and the State. My senses form the basis for my interpretation of reality; the world turns around me. Who else to know of myself when no one else can experience my wake? Law is the State’s justification for violence, ergo illegal acts are an important component of my defiance. My story is immoral! I place significance in Propaganda by the Deed, that through individual acts of terror Anarchy can be realized and that said act may invite all to follow. Go rob a store; be gay, do crime.

Thus, Anarchy could be my serial robbery of stores, Czolgosz’s murder of President McKinley, bombing a politician, burning down your local grocer, or tending your local garden – and so much more! An anarchist will not be ruled, nor shall they rule! A new order is born; an order without rulers.

“I am an anarchist and I am not afraid to die for its cause. Arise Anarchy! Long shall it live!”

Johann Most

An Order Without Rulers

“Todo gobierno es tirania”

-graffiti seen in Mexico City

With no one to be above you or I, a new order is birthed where none shall rule; No more authority, we may all autonomously act and not merely obey. I will be the only entity to form my will, with it no longer beholden to submission nor coercion. You will not rule me!

What is necessary of authority? Hierarchy? Why would it be a given, that another human must command me? I will not believe the lies of its necessity. We can hardly speak of some natural state, of some sort of human nature, when we lay captive to the coldest of all monsters; capitalism and the State remain unneeded. I would much rather you command yourself, entirely and wholly. And you?

Why must you trade your time and resources for a State-sanctioned paper? Rather, why should I need currency for my basic needs to be satisfied, for my acquisition of those needs to not be theft? Money, like authority, has the value and worth a society decides to give it. Do we ever expect our rulers to admit the falsehood they have erected when they stand to gain so much power otherwise? You will sell your being for the dollar, kill another for the right feather in your hat, and I am to listen of your insistence there would be no order, no peace, without rulers? There is no order so long as one may command another!

No peace is to be had when any may be locked in a box, denied the right to self-determine. As long as the powerful shall rule, we will be told this state of subjugation is a peace contrary to our supposed savagery. All individuals are uniquely worthy of their own life, of leading it. You are no more savage than your fellow individual, lest you be led to that belief.

To be freed from rule is to finally know of freedom; we are not free with the powerful demanding subservience. I demand to finally control my own life, that I not merely make choices in some cruel game designed to oppress me at every moment of my wake. I refuse to be distracted from our time’s greatest injustice! No matter how deified the tradition opposing, let it be known – Anarchy is order; rulerless peace.

“I love men too — not merely individuals, but every one. But I love them with the consciousness of egoism; I love them because love makes me happy, I love because loving is natural to me, because it pleases me. I know no “commandment of love.” I have a fellow-feeling with every feeling being, and their torment torments, their refreshment refreshes me too; I can kill them, not torture them.”

Max Stirner

The Death of God

“God is dead: of his pity for man hath God died.”

Friedrich Nietzsche

What does it mean to realize the Self? All that is would ask you to not know of your Ego, to place anything but yourself above it. Your Ego is yours alone. Of all the forces that would dictate your behavior and worth, from religion to traditions or customs, why would you relinquish what is uniquely yours? I stand to defy what is, to claim ownership of the only sensuality I will ever possess. I will be myself. And you?

You possess the same capacities as I. You are as much an individual as anyone else. With nothing of the old, of what was, to define your person, you are given the gift of your own individuality. You get to actually lead your life, to form your personhood from the nothingness of a new way of existence.

What could you truly call your own, when all manners of coercion act unto your will? Even your Ego was not yours, not when it is controlled. Society is predicated on the individual to exist, and not vice versa, so for what reason would I have myself be convinced of the death of individualism? I will see the death of God, for my humanity is something to be surpassed. Not something to limit me, to be my next God or ruler. I am my own.

I alone command my will, so of what need have I of your coercion? Are you to rule me through deception? Not if I can avoid it.

“The creator wished to look away from [themself],—thereupon [they] created the world.”

Friedrich Nietzsche

Lawless Prosperity

“The State calls its own violence Law, but that of the individual Crime.”

Max Stirner

Law is cold and indifferent arbitration, its enforcement naught more than the removal of individual’s liberty. Must I be faced with the deprivation of my humanity and freedom for refusing to obey? Lawlessness will be our liberator. Law does not a thing to change our existence, except for the worse. Through respect and admiration for the State’s violence, individuals are made agents of injustice.

In our new anarchistic existence, our individuality is not to be liberated by Law. Arbiters whom would seek to impose Law unto you or I have the desire of controlling us. With no Law to rule us, we may explore our individuality to its limits; no rulers encompasses all of them, yes.

“The moral man is necessarily narrow in that he knows no other enemy than the immoral man.”

Max Stirner

Voluntary Association

“What matters the party to me? I shall find enough anyhow who unite with me without swearing allegiance.”

Max Stirner

With no rulers or coercion to control us, all individuals may therefore associate with one-another entirely voluntarily. Individuals can mutually utilize each other, creating unions whereupon the Ego of all individuals are recognized and respected. These “Union of Egoists” would form the basis for human interaction, preventing the creation of a new hierarchy above any individual. The ideal human is to be realized, one conscious of their own Ego and of all that would act unto it. You are your own.

Through voluntarily formed bonds, humans could solve the many problems presented to them. Needed medical care, food, shelter, clothing, and so on would no longer be a matter of possessing enough capital; why should the poor go without? Altruism becomes far more appealing with no opportunity cost to it. With education no longer to be gatekept, the persons able to offer services increases accordingly with the demand. Capitalism is naught but a blood tax on our world, the voluntary nature of Anarchy brings forth a greater care for our fellow individuals.

If all aspects of our existence become voluntary, I need not be around individuals who show disdain for others. I am not suddenly tied down by rent, borders, travel costs or contracts. I may surround myself with a community able to benefit me, as I to them. Or, I may live in solitude. Regardless, I suddenly have real control over my life rather than a mere facade of choice. I can associate with whom I choose, my life becomes mines to lead.

“I have based my affair on nothing”

Max Stirner

Why Anarchy

From whence our liberty will arise

The freedom an individual had hardly known

As an understanding of Anarchy is grown

Its benefit to us is left as no surprise

Brought forth through our ruler’s demise

By one’s own bright Ego allowed to be shown

Wherefore once only subjugation was sown

Now true individualism all can realize

To liberate myself from all rulers and rule

Necessitates you also be free

Our rulers must surely think you a fool

Anarchism brings forth only glee

I will pull back this capitalist wool

Finally – Anarchy our eyes will see!

Before we begin we should sweep and clean the area, all genders working equally. Then we should make sure our neighbors have their needs met, and offer food and housing to the poor and full time activists. Then, sit on equal terms and take a moment of silence to focus on the breath while we remember the names and faces of the martyrs. Remembering their sacrifices and inevitable death, we resolve to liberate all beings in this life, cultivating altruism. Think of a quote to repeat for a few minutes. For example, Abdullah Ocalan says, “Truth is love, love is free life!” Now visualize a few inspiring people in detail, great humans such as Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, Patanjali, Ghandi, Apo, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Theresa, Emma Goldman, Voltairine DeClayre, Angela Davis, Maya Angelou, Harriet Tubman, John Brown, Malcolm X, and so on, whoever inspires you. Think how you use your body, speech and mind to advance equality, truth, freedom and beauty. Imagine what you can offer to revolutionary movements in your community.

Offer self criticisms, accept criticisms, make efforts to grow as a person, and then offer criticisms to help others grow. Give praise and credit to hardworking activists and cultivate joy for comrades’ success. Ask them to keep working hard for everyone’s freedom and to contribute to the dialectic. Dedicate all of your own successes to the liberation of all beings. Reach out to mentors and ask for guidance and inspiration. Show gratitude to them and to comrades who support your community. Help them, take their advice and practice their teachings. Believe in the power of friendship and cooperation! Your mind is the source of happiness and pain, so see attachment to the oppressive systems of hierarchy, profit driven greed and domination as thieves of happiness and resolve to live in balance with nature and neighbors, enjoying life without clinging.

The nature of the mind is clarity and awareness, being, consciousness and bliss. We have a moral obligation to future generations to create the conditions for happiness and equal freedom. Hiding behind inaction and refusing to take direct action is not the moral high ground – it is cowardice. Cultivate the bravery to defend others or die trying. Suffering exists, it’s caused by attachment and it can end. The way to utopia is to build meaningful centers of resistance and justice against exploitation and power by embracing and building our utopia of freedom. This is how we escape the vicious cycle of pain. Abandon false happiness based on the lies of religion and illusions, live by a code of ethics, cultivate concentration, wisdom, love and compassion. Without morals we will go extinct.

Insincere life is transient, unsatisfactory and selfless. There is no egotistical soul behind your eyelids. All life is precious, so be enthusiastic! The God-Kings are naked and unmasked. When we die they die with us! So instead of living for profit, cultivate the causes for happiness in future generations. Plant seeds, trees, and thoughts. Attachment and aversion to possessions, praise and criticism, reputation and infamy, pleasure and pain – these cause enormous disasters and conflict.

Don’t despair, think of ways to take action. Death is inevitable. What can you do before you die? What makes life meaningful? Visualize being killed by cops in the street, being executed by the State, dying in a war for profit, being blown away by a nuclear bomb and dying of a disease in a pandemic. Then take refuge in a revolutionary movement like the YPG, Zapatistas, Palestine Liberation Organization or the Irish Republican Army by studying their teachings, founders and joining them. Another world is possible.

Choose to engage in constructive actions: Rescue lives from danger, protect others and yourself, practice responsible and consensual sex between adults, speak truth to injustice, practice harmonious speech and kind words, discuss ideology and philosophy, be generous and apply loving kindness. Cultivate attitudes of generosity, ethical discipline, patience, joyful effort, concentration and wisdom. Now, again, visualize your mentors, offer self criticisms, then repair relationships with determination and remedial behavior. Build communities based on intuitive emotional intelligence. The love of truth guarantees free life!

Hello, I’m Harlequin, a person who’s been incarcerated inside the gulags of Pennsylvania Department of Corruptions more or less since 2009. I’ve seen and have experienced atrocity and oppression on a daily basis. It’s expected to experience oppression and abuse by prison officials, as that’s what they are paid to do. What really bothers me though is the oppression and abuse so prevalent between fellow prisoners.

As I write from the hole (RHU) on a petty, largely exaggerated charge, I am experiencing indirect oppression at the hands of my neighbor next door to me. He is at war with a handicapped prisoner directly underneath him for no reason other than the handicapped prisoner’s here on a rape conviction. My next door neighbor bangs on his stainless steel sink loudly throughout the day and night to induce sleep deprivation in the man downstairs. It doesn’t matter to my next door neighbor that his senseless actions are effecting others, and oppressing everyone on the unit.

If a C.O. Or other staff members would do that, banging on each door to wake us all up day and night, we would be raising hell. But we take it in stride when another prisoner oppresses each other, and think it to be normal. Brothers and sisters, this is far from normal! When we oppress each other, prison staff meet their objectives.

The prison industrial complex is designed to keep us at each others throats, so to speak, to divide and conquer so as to squelch any form of unity. The P.I.C. Encourages divisions and animosity between these divisions and fuels the divisions, so as to prevent collective unity among prisoners. We forget the fact that at the end of the day, we are ALL human beings, capable of contributing to the good and betterment of our society. We are all worthy of dignity and respect, regardless of convicted crimes, lifestyle, religion, gender identity, sexual preference, race, creed, etc. Is the person convicted of murder better than the person convicted of rape or another sex crime? Not at all. Are the LGBTQ prisoners less of persons than hetero and cisgender prisoners? No! Why you ask? Because we are all human beings.

I hear the cries of those around me throughout my sentence, against the oppression and injustice we all feel on a daily and continual basis. Complaints are made all the time and people moan about nothing being done. The reason for this is a total lack of unity. Too many are focused on the choices of everyone else. The divisions created keep us from achieving the unity necessary to take a stand against oppression we all face. We often wonder why things occur and why no one stand up about it. It’s going to take more than a few people to unite and make a significant impact. It’s going to take us all as a whole to make it happen! No more every-man-for-himself mentality. We need to adopt the attitude that when one is down and out, all are down and out. We must do this collectively. And no, this is not going to happen overnight, but small steps can be taken. Reaching out to someone who has nothing, helping them with their needs, getting to know someone you wouldn’t ordinarily speak to – small steps! Will this be difficult? Hell yes! Can it be done? I believe it can abundantly as a collective effort.

So, I resound the call – Prisoners and oppressed of the nation – UNITE! Rise up against oppression!

In Solidarity and In Struggle,

Comrade Harlequin

Current Events, February 2022

I recently learned that four friends were killed when Turkey, using US sourced jets, drones and missiles, leveled the YPG International Academy in Rojava. Many other friends were wounded. This fills me with rage, conviction and grief. Please take a moment of silence for the brave internationals and locals who were murdered by the Turkish State. These martyrs were fighting against daesh, against fascism and dogmatic mysticism, patriarchy and environmental abuse. Shehid nemarin. The martyrs never die.

At the same time Amerikkka postures on the Ukraine border and threatens to plunge the working class into an unwinnable World War against Russia and China and their allies. Under no circumstances should any international anarchist, or various leftists, support those wars, Neither should we give any aid to Russia or China. We should make 2020 Uprisings and Vietnam anti-war protests look like gentle warm-ups in our resistance to this bloodbath. Our fight is against the wealthy ruling class and authoritarian military and prison industrial complexes of all nation-states. China has pledges to support Russia in the Ukraine. The US has funded, supplied and facilitated the far-right neo-Nazi Azov Battalion in the Donbas region of the Ukraine for the last decade – now those chickens are coming home to roost. China has millions of soldiers, the US has only a few hundred thousand, and only a tiny fraction of that are infantry, fit for combat. The rest are support, truckers, and office workers. Russia has one of the meanest special forces in human history and they don’t care about rules of engagement. They are unscrupulous about committing war crimes. China can draft billions of people into their military. Most Americans will refuse to fight. Even if I was offered a deal to get out of prison I would not fight in this war.

China will use this conflict to take back Taiwan, and they have Olympic athletes as hostages. They also have nuclear weapons and allies who feel that the US needs a taste of its own medicine. Remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki. China also owns the US economy. At any point they can shut off our internet, our wifi, shut down our banks and demand we pay all of our debts. The Amerikkkan economy is trash right now, weakened by capitalistic profiteering of Covid-19 and a series of losses in the arena of war. The US abandoned the Kurds, again, and failed miserably in Afghanistan. Patriotism is a thing of the past, comfort is the currency and the militant personalities that populate Amerikkkan conservative parties have both committed to a stone-age mythology and lost the moral high-ground in the eyes of the world. The US is not the strongest, fastest or best at anything anymore. The opinions of “foreign” countries are what will determine the survival of working-class people in this country. It would be suicidal to continue to disregard their voices.

We have to consider the human cost to allies like India, whose economy is also in shambles, and who would likely draft a billion people to fight a grotesquely huge front-line. China will likely draw the US into European and Asian fronts to get them overextended. After exhausting the various militaries and stretching them thin, China and Russia will be able to comfortably and easily invade the North American mainland. The rest of the world is tired of Amerikkkan bullying and feel that the US could use a taste of its own medicine. Imagine this country as the world’s new playground for proxy wars and testing military weapons. China and Russia are not some small Arab country that can be bullied – they are superpowers who have been planning this World War for a very long time, and they do not feel the need to fight fairly. This war will last for decades and the blockades, sanctions, economic embargoes and other asymmetrical tactics and strategies will starve and dehydrate the common people worldwide. Capitalist nations are not prepared to survive such a fight.

Another side effect of this conflict will be dependence on fascists like Trump. Biden will lose the liberal and far-left support base and the far-right will look to Trump for wartime bluster. But he will advance the most racist and genocidal agenda that humanity has ever witnessed. Civil War will result. I don’t believe that China will occupy the losers of this conflict, but Russia might try. There will be all out guerrilla warfare with blood running in the streets. This will lead to nationalist paranoia and demands of loyalty to Christian, racist militias, and the execution of conscientious objectors, gays, trans and left-wing activists.

We have to convince those running for president that no war hawks will win. We must seize the narrative and influence the weak to unite against the Right. The Right is united in their group psychosis – mythology, racism, and violence. Our main priority has to be to game the corrupt system to insist on global peace and international infrastructure. Our health is dependent and interdependant on the quality of life of our most distant neighbors and so-called enemies. It does not matter which authoritarian is in charge, as the donkey says in Animal Farm, they are all going to abuse us.

Using social media we can connect with Russian and Chinese people and learn how we have more in common than we realize. We have to argue with every loudmouth war hawk at work, at the store, on the street, everywhere. Don’t let the baby killers assume that we all agree with them. Make them uncomfortable. We all have a moral obligation to all of humanity to stop this war before it starts. If we can’t do that then we must seize the moment and use the chaos of this conflict to achieve our own goals – abolishing police, establishing feminist social structures, environmental protection and direct democracy through autonomous zones. With nation state forces spread thin, and with us refusing to participate, the meek shall inherit the earth, having created our own infrastructure, farm land, solar, wind and hydro power and defending our own way of living free from hierarchy and oppression. If the boys want to play rough, make them go outside. This is our home, not a war zone.
