Anarchism's Hidden Histories

Let us focus on the hidden histories of the world and the everyday "saints of circumstance" who compose informal communities of grace and bear witness to the truth as they can best discern it.

Beyond the demonic obfuscation generated by the 24 hour news cycle, quiet revolutions unfold:

"The revolutionary alternative to the status quo today is not collectivized property administered by a 'workers' state' whatever that means, but some kind of anarchist decentralization that will break up mass society into small communities where individuals can live together as variegated human beings instead of as impersonal individuals in a mass sum...Anarchism leads back to the individual and the community, which is 'impractical' but necessary--that is to say, it is revolutionary."

~ Dwight Macdonald, cited in Colin Ward, Anarchism: A Very Short Introduction, (Oxford, 2004), 70-71.
