Subversive Toolbox

Starting with Alfredo Bonanno's concept of Insurrectionalism, we moved on to Mark Fisher's Postcapitalist Desire and various insurrectional zines. Based on these theories, we developed our own idea of what a revolution should be and should entail. We called it: a new reclamation of Insurrectionalism.

Insurrectionalism provides an immediate response to a deeply repressive system, but it fails by isolating itself in violence, refusing any other point of view and position that is not direct attack or property damage.

It is important to keep all the other intersectionalities in mind in order to achieve something for the collective and create a platform for the wider circles to participate.

Capitalism can absorb and turn almost any creative act into something it can use, unless that act is connected to destruction or directly opposes the system. Therefore we need to develop a mode of resistance that analyzes and overcomes isolation. Participation in the resistance is not about a large, empty and inert mass but about a multifaceted environment that supports combativeness in a way that is difficult for the state to monitor and understand.

By spreading counter-narratives and the material bases capable of sustaining another way of existing we intervene. There is no one way to fight, liberation is a collective process, lived and defined on an individual level. We need to value all forms of participation amongst resistance, we need not only the destruction but also the creative aspect within the resistance.

We wanted to facilitate a subversive network. Our role was the one of the storyteller, making sure that actions are remembered and allowing them to become sources of inspiration.

The theory and tools already exist, we wouldn't reinvent them, our narrative will elevate what already exists. Our website was a toolbox where new visitors would be vaguely intirested and become increasingly intrinsically motivated to take action in their own individual way and build meaningful relationships.
