The New “Outlaw” Proletariat
They are forcing us to be criminals in order to survive. They have cut off forms of subsistence and legal access to reproduction so drastically that it is no longer possible to survive without falling into illegality. Continue reading

Syria is the World, the World is Syria
No one in the whole world, except a few people here and there, acknowledge that this is a genocide of the Holocaust type. Why not? Because no one is willing to see the Nazi when he looks in the mirror. Continue reading

The AAA Guide to Movement Building
Much of the debate on the left is about which is the right model of politics. But good activists are agnostic. They don’t have a theory of politics that is used in all places and at all times. Continue reading

Affect as a Field of Struggle
Emotion is the fabric of our cultural thought and political action across the board, not just on the right. It’s also on the left. It’s a common language. Continue reading

Seid Mutig!
Oft haben Menschen Angst vor Macht, vor der Regierung, vor herrschenden Meinungen. Aber wenn sie nie jemanden sehen, der keine Angst hat, werden sie Mut nicht lernen und ihre Meinung nicht wirklich ändern. Deshalb muss Mut sichtbar sein. Continue reading

Wer sind die Kommunisten wirklich?
Die Abdrift des Kommunismus wurde tragisch und zerstörerisch. Dies ist etwas, was wir wissen und worauf hinzuweisen sich unsere Feinde ergötzen, wobei sie die katastrophalen Folgen für die ganze Menschheit von dem auslassen, was sie selbst verteidigen. Continue reading

Who are the Communists Really?
The drift of communism turned out to be tragic and destructive. This is something we know and that our enemies enjoy to point out, omitting the devastating consequences for all mankind of what they advocate themselves. Continue reading

Anarchism and Violence
Anarchists are opposed to every kind of violence; everyone knows that. The main plank of Anarchism is the removal of violence from human relations. For this reason we are enemies of capitalism. Continue reading

For a Theory of Destituent Power
The place and function of the police is undecidable and must remain undecidable, because if it were really absorbed in the judicial power, police could no longer exist. Continue reading
MANIFESTO
The Antidote Writers Collective seeks to resist and counteract the poisons that course through the veins of our politics, our cultures, our movements, our relationships, ourselves.
We believe that a strong collective immune system is built through knowledge and understanding and that the struggle against division and repression requires building a new culture of discussion that goes beyond flat definitions, brittle ideologies, stubborn dogmas, idle preconceptions, and petty rivalries.
We will share knowledge with each other, aiming to build empathy, and in turn enable the emergence of genuine solidarity—one which does not demand uniformity across contexts, one which does not “include” you, but in which you include yourself.
In this spirit, we will provide a platform for a diverse set of voices, especially for those otherwise silenced or ignored in “mainstream” discussions. We want to hear from people engaged in radical struggles all over the world. We seek neither agreement nor conflict, but rather to identify issues at their roots, and to consider different radical approaches to their resolution. And though we at the Antidote Writers Collective have voices—and we will use them—we will not presume to speak for anybody.
On the contrary, we invite you to offer us new ways of thinking, new ways of seeing. It’s not about establishing a space for comfy ideological self-indulgence, but for questions, for a true diversity of voices and viewpoints, and for turning all of this into action.
One World. One Struggle.

“… in the midst of putative peace, you could, like me, be unfortunate enough to stumble on a silent war. The trouble is that once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And once you’ve seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There’s no innocence. Either way, you’re accountable.” – Arundhati Roy
