Some of The Anarchist Library’s Controversially Published, Deleted & Rejected Texts

A library enthusiasts introduction

This text was created for anyone curious about various library crew’s archiving ethoses.

The internet, bookshops, and libraries are all swamped with more information than anyone could read in a lifetime, but when searching for reading on a particular subject, having the choice of 100 texts on that subject isn’t necessarily valuable if the task of choosing between them is made more difficult by a librarian crew’s choice to archive 50 texts that showcase embarrassingly anti-anarchist ideas, or where the one text that would interest you most has been deleted from the catalog due to the librarian crew having ideological disagreements with the author.

Therefore, when browsing texts from these institutions it would be valuable to get a sense of what type of texts are likely included at a higher or lower rate. So, what type of texts it is better to go elsewhere to look for. A simple brochure or web page people could read would suffice, to see a list of some of the texts that were controversially included or excluded, and ideally the reasons why.

Finally, I think there is value in discussing the embarrassment some people feel about controversially platforming some texts under the banner of ‘The Anarchist Library’. For example, if one of the reasons for hosting a text on the The Anarchist Library is that it can’t easily be found elsewhere, then having that be more well-known may encourage people to start a unique archival project specifically for exploring texts on that subject. Also, most every anarchist would agree that platforming the complete works of Mao under the banner of The Anarchist Library just because he was an ex-anarchist would be an unjustifiably embarrassing platforming of ideas. So, I just think it would be good for the library crew to post publicly the arguments and counter-arguments for why they think archiving various controversial authors and texts would or would not amount to this kind of embarrassing platforming.

Abdullah Öcalan

A librarians argument for deleting: ...

A librarians argument against deleting: ...

A readers argument for deleting: During the early years of his leadership of the PKK, the group professed to hold to ‘marxist-leninist’ ideology and were accused of numerous human rights abuses including civilian massacres, summary executions, plus the use of suicide bombers and child soldiers. The organization is historically to blame for the burning of schools and killing of teachers who they accused of “destroying Kurdish identity”, attacks on hospitals which resulted in the death of doctors and nurses, and allegedly the kidnapping of foreign tourists for ransom.

A readers argument against deleting: He has inspired big world developments such as the council systems in Rojava which has lead to anarchist internationalists supporting grassroots projects on the ground there and the diverse militias at war with ISIS and Turkey.

Bob Black

A librarians argument against deleting: ...

A readers argument for deleting: The author snitched to the police that an ex-friend was manufacturing opium which lead to the person’s house being raided. Also, he is a sexist and anti-feminist, having published polemics such as “If You Can’t Stand the Heat, Stay in the Kitchen” and “Feminism as Fascism”. Finally, he harassed and attacked anarchist collective Processed World with death threats and destruction of possessions, as well as filing a complaint with the San Francisco Planning Commission over alleged zoning violations that led to the eviction of Processed World from its office.

Eco-Extremism

A librarians argument for deleting: ...

A librarians argument against deleting: ITS came out of the anarchist space and how far from it they’ve found (or removed) themselves from it is of interest to some anarchists. It is part of our history and is completely appropriate for it to appear on an archival project documenting anarchist and related texts.

Reading things by people we disagree with (or making such readings accessible to other people) is not condoning the things we disagree with, much less supporting them. Anyone who insists on banning particular texts from the library because they personally disagree with the content is acting to indoctrinate, not allowing people to make up their own minds.

A readers argument for deleting:

1. Anti-tech terrorist ramblings & apologia has no place in an anarchist library.

2. The texts can easily be found elsewhere.

3. ITS never claimed to be anarchists and rejected any identification with anarchy as early as their 4^th communique:[1]

“Why do we not consider ourselves anarchists? Precisely because we do not share the anarchists’ vision about the “destruction” of this world to create a “new,” “self-managed” one within the clichés of mutual aid (to strangers) and (promiscuous) solidarity, which as we stated before is not natural.”

Put simply:

Framing matters. When you put Ted K in an “anarchist library” you’re declaring “Ted K is inside anarchism”. If you put a unnoticeable “non-anarchist” tag on it you’re declaring “still within the circle of texts we think are anarchist-adjacent, in-group and respectable enough”

There are, after all, infinite “anarchist-adjacent” things. Mao came from anarchism, but if your “anarchist” library contains every maoist text you’re normalizing maoism.

rocinante: The library was founded by anti-civ anarchists, nihilist anarchists, and a handful of other modifers. I’m one of these people and back then I would have called myself and did “anti-civ”. There were post-anarchists, anarchists without adjectives, and whatever. I think from the very start the library made a point as being a place to publish every single anarchist text every written (well kind of).

lucian: idk why ted k and ITS are always conflated. ted k said he was an anarchist. prior to his arrest he was in correspondence with LWOD. his first prison interview was with the EF! journal. he’s had letters in green anarchist magazine, green anarchy magazine, and AJODA

like it or not, he’s anarchist.

magsalin: Personally I disagree with hosting Ted K and ITS texts

eris: yea, a lot do

hence me raising this

magsalin: But not only do I support keeping it up, when I see people uploading new Ted K. texts I approve it

The Anarchist Library was founded by anticiv nihilists

TEd K and ITS belong to this tradition

eris: hmm, fair

magsalin: However, because ITS turned anti-anarchist, there’s a sort of informal moratorium on new eco-extremist texts, especially eco-extremist texts that are explicitly hostile to anarchism

Eco-extremist texts are published on a case to case basis

A readers argument for deleting: Ted’s period of identification with anarchism was very opportunistic and shallow in that he simply thought it would be advantageous to have some recognized political identity when writing about the terrorist violence he hoped to incentivize in others:[2]

In 1995 I described FC as ‘anarchist’ because I thought it would be advantageous to have some recognized political identity. At that time I knew very little about anarchism. Since then I’ve learned that anarchists, at least those of the U.S. and the U.K., are nothing but a lot of hopelessly ineffectual bunglers and dreamers, useless for any purpose. Needless to say, I now disavow any identification as an anarchist.

Ted’s politics mostly just amounted to thinking it would be nice if we could click our fingers and all go back to the stone age where men had a lot of negative liberty to leave their tribe to live a solitary existence hunting and gathering and hardly ever have to meet another person. But, unlike anarcho-primitivists, he didn’t hold the view that life in primitive society would be one of egalitarian freedom, which though true, it is the false belief motivating anarcho-primitivists that make their desires still anarchist, which Ted Kaczynski and many of his followers explicitly renounce:[3]

[M]y hope, is that certain inconvenient aspects of hunter-gatherer societies (e.g., male dominance, hard work) would turn off the leftists, the neurotics, and the lazies but that such societies, depicted realistically, would remain attractive to the kind of people who could be effective revolutionaries.

But, even if you were to grant this ideal end goal is still anarchist, it is as empty and illusory an end goal as when Stalinists claim to have the same ideal end goal as anarchists because Ted and his followers advocate a ‘means of getting there’ that has very little difference to setting up a cult like vanguard party[4]:

(ii) If a member of the anti-tech organization can find a place on the editorial board of a radical environmentalist periodical (for instance, the Earth First! journal), he will be able to influence the content of the periodical. If a majority of anti-tech people can be placed on the editorial board, they will be able in effect to take the periodical over, minimize its leftist content, and use it systematically for the propagation of anti-tech ideas....

How can anti-tech revolutionaries get themselves into positions of power and infuence in radical environmentalist groups? The most important way will be through the moral authority of hard work. In every organization which they seek to capture, the communists are the readiest volunteers, the most devoted committee workers, the most alert and active participants. In many groups, this is in itself sufficient to gain the leadership; it is almost always enough to justify candidacy [for leadership].

The [Communists] in penetrating an organization... become the ‘best workers’ for whatever goals the organization seeks to attain....

This writer has had no opportunity to study more than a few of the works of history, political science, sociology, and revolutionary theory that may be relevant to the anti-tech enterprise. Worthy of careful attention are the works of Alinsky, Selznick, Smelser, and Trotsky that appear in our List of Works Cited. But there is a vast amount of other relevant literature that deserves to be explored; for example, the literature of the academic field known as “Organizational Behavior,” and the works of Lenin to the extent that they deal with revolutionary strategy and tactics (his ideological hokum is merely of historical interest). Thorough library research will reveal an unending series of other relevant works. It is worth repeating that this literature will provide no recipes for action that can be applied mechanically. It will provide ideas, some of which can be applied, with suitable modifications, to the purposes of an anti-tech organization....

Ted first publicly broke with anarchism when a vegan primitivist from Turkey wrote to Ted in 2006 with a long list of questions. Ted responded with a detailed critique of how many primitivists idealize primitive life, arguing that the hierarchical relationships found between many tribal members is natural and therefore neutral or good.[5]

Finally, it’s important to understand that Ted’s political foundations were built on being a young self-radicalized library loner who inherited a lot of the elitist aristocratic intuitions of the anti-modernist middle & upper classes in the 50s. He cycled through a bunch of reactionary dispositions starting with fascism and ending on a kind of anti-tech vanguardism. In his final years he advocated an organizational strategy similar to Maoism and suggested seeing if alliances could be made with jihadists like Bin Laden.[6][7]

A readers argument for deleting: Likely the author’s preference.

A readers argument against deleting: Wolfi’s philosophy and creative writing style has been the subject of popular discussions among anarchists, so it would be valuable to see a critique of how Wolfi marshalled his particular political philosophy in defense of child sexual abuse. Also, so that people can feel better prepared to be able to notice and critique this kind of apologia for abuse if it’s ever taken up by other people in one’s own life.

I read it as a critique of how reactionaries prey upon alienated people and have a higher turn-over rate for not seeking to work with people in a stable situation in life.

A readers argument against deleting: I know it would risk contributing to modern day anarchism being seen as a Chomsky cult, but I think it would likely be good to see one text on Chomsky’s academic chops. It’s a useful part of the equation of whether he has anything useful to say, since his motivation behind studying language is also connected to his desire to see massive societal change.[8]

A librarians argument against rejecting: ...

A readers argument for rejecting: Liberal-ish & potentially child sexual abuse.

A readers argument against rejecting: Only one book exists on the library, yet he’s been a stepping stone for many people towards anarchist philosophy and action for decades. Plus, many anarchists relate to his philosophy as a foundational building block of their politics.

• Essential Works of Michel Foucault Volume 1: Ethics

• Essential Works of Michel Foucault Volume 2: Aesthetics, Method, and Epistemology

Unbreakable

Author: Ali Al-Asfa

A librarians argument for rejecting: not anarchist, no mention of anarchist word, unknown author

A librarians argument against rejecting: ...

A readers argument for rejecting: No mention of anarchist word and unknown author.

A readers argument against rejecting: Anarchist internationalists often write under local names given to them during their service. It feels very relevant to the current bombing of Gaza and anarchist participation in protests against the bombings. The author is anonymous, but it was posted at the same time as a public PLO volunteer with a similar life story and lots of other anonymous texts exist on the website.

Does the Unabomber have any relevance to anarchism?

Author: Theo Slade

A librarians argument for rejecting: El says we should not upload things from Theo Slade. (from Elin — to be more specific, until Slade’s Ted K Archive starts citing t@l for the hundreds of texts they’ve copied and pasted from us, I don’t think we should publish them. They have their own archive to publish their own (usually very low-quality) texts)

A librarians argument against rejecting: ...

A readers argument rejecting: The author copied over texts without credit.

A readers argument against rejecting: The Ted K Archive definitely forked off a chunk of The Anarchist Library with the aim of publishing many of the texts in a more responsible way and then archiving tangentially related side reading to show the context various books and essays are written in.

One goal in creating the website was to build an easily searchable website people could use to research socially conservative primitivists and eco-fascists attempts to appeal to anarchists. Also crucially, a website that was very openly highly critical of these attempts.

So, our middle ground suggestion for libraries, publishing houses, social centres, etc. who want to explore the emergence of some reactionary ideas, is just not to confuse a primary role the project serves in being ‘a place people can find anarchist texts’, but to spin off a separate research project, and advertise it as such.

The anarchist library has published 50 or so texts that were first archived on TKA, and there was a questionnaire created in order to make the process of copying over a 100 or so more texts more efficient.

Finally, it would be great if someone with the knowhow and time happened to desire to write code to create share links to The Anarchist Library mirror for every text that has a duplicate there. So that people randomly researching Ted K who want to share a text for reasons unrelated to ‘the technology question’ can have an anarchist library link to share.

Disrupting The Purist Anarchist Pipeline

Author: Theo Slade

Some librarians arguments for rejecting:

magsalin: You uploaded it on the wrong library. The bookshelf is our meta wiki, not the main library

Also, some peeps told us you said kinda mean things about the library? Something about us having low standards?

Ishkah: I think that was a misunderstanding, I was being self-deprecating, like ‘hey I got my writing on this platform that I like, I know it’s not the most popular site in the world, but it makes me happy’

lucian: this one is a no from me
it includes a dox
ie. the real name of someone who was trying to hide their real name
ishkah this who EE conversation was tired in 2011
i’m dead against this one tbh. you include jullian langer in your section ‘Eco-Extremist Nature Worshipers’, even though julian has wrote against eco-extremism countless times
including aragorn! in that section probably isn’t smart either

magsalin: Hey Aragron! literally founded the site

Ishkah: Julian Langer and Aragorn explaining or critiquing eco-extremism, I didn’t say they were eco-extremists.

A librarians argument against rejecting: ...

A readers argument for rejecting: Too critical of Aragorn and other post-left anarchists.

A readers argument against rejecting: I censored the quoted critique that included private details, plus I added more disclaimers and footnotes to make clearer that I wasn’t denouncing everyone whose writing I quoted who were describing various ideologies.
