The Rabbit Hole

Hear me out.

We don’t need a new theory. We need a replacement for theory, and the theory-practice dichotomy, entirely. A libertarian (or anarchist) dialectic is the answer to this. The answer that unifies the collective anarchist/libertarian milieu and provides a dynamic and workable solution for any situation by means of having no proscriptions for any situation, and functioning as a logical tool that is easy to learn and quick to apply.

We look to the theories we most respect to inform our praxis. But they fail when the real world fails to respond in accord with the theoretical expectation. This forces us into a dialectic, whether we will it or not. Any resistance toward entering the dialectic — which generally involves using praxis to enforce theory, thus results in an authoritarianism. We must work the dialectic if we are to remain true to the principles of both positive and negative liberty.

Therefore I do not propose a new theory. I propose a tool. I propose Anarchism as a dialectic. This isn’t a philosophical tool that can be used to create a new theory, mind you. This is a tool meant for everyone to learn and apply. I give it freely here, and I hope you will pass it along freely.

As long as we are willing to cooperate, together — as has always been the nature of humanity — this should be an effective means of leveling the playing field to preserve both personal liberties and collective best interest. It is anarchic in the truest sense, in that it recognizes no authority whatsoever — not even that of a theory — to dictate or proscribe what is “right and good” in any situation; rather it aims to be a tool to discover what is right and good for each and every situation, in its full subjective context.

Bear with me — it may take a few weeks to write all of this out…

Hey there. I’m Rabbit – welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I’m a philosopher, a musician, and an occultist, but above all else, I’m a revolutionary dreamer. The problem with that is, more often than not, dreamers never get to become doers. But I’m sure going to fucking try until I croak.

I’m actually really bad with introductions. I ramble a lot. And I have a lot of different thoughts swirling around in my head the entire time, all competing for expression. As such, I thought it would be much easier to just make the first post here a summary of the stuff I plan to put here… if any of it appeals to you, I hope you’ll bookmark and come back…

Music and Writing

I make no claims of being talented or wise, but I’ve been told that I need to share this stuff so that was the initial purpose of this site.

Most of my writing is, broadly speaking, philosophy and pragmatism in the topical realms of anarchism and occultism, but as a neurodivergent caffeine junkie with a terrible sleep schedule, it could be anything, at any time.

If you like folk… or punk… or folkpunk?… you can have a listen if you check out Mispy Haven on Bandcamp. I don’t get a lot of opportunity to play “scheduled shows” but I can often be found playing around town. Stop and sing with me if you see me!

The Collective and Community

This is my big dream: an intentional community built for self-sufficiency and sustainability. This is not your typical “anarchist commune” — it’s bigger. The primary goal is to establish a self-sufficient, sustainable collective, operating as an anarchist commune, on 50 – 100 acres (or more!) of land, with a few dozen (or more!) others who want to try building an anarchist utopia somewhere in the hills of Vermont or the haunted woods of Maine.

We need more people — people who are genuinely willing to commit to this. If you’d like to support or join us, let me know!

Web3 for Anarchists

Technology and cyberspace have become a critical theatre for social evolution. The “social elites” know this (of course!) and have capitalized on it by capitalizing and commercializing the internet. Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Apple have steadily been steadily establishing themselves as irrevocable cornerstones of modern life, ensuring they have a wide expanse of options to control and manipulate the masses. Web3 provides an escape from this, and that escape is the first step towards technological liberation (or digital anarchy)

Technological Liberation (Digital Anarchy)

Just like the collective and intentional community aims to establish a local, self-sustaining community in the real world, technological liberation is about the widespread liberation of individuals from oppressive technology. This process begins by adopting the decentralized and anonymized norms of Web3, but goes much further to create services to support the needs of anarchist communities — digital markets and currency, private arbitration services and alternatives to “law enforcement,” libre education and social services, mutualist networks, etc. — in a corner of the internet that exists outside the auspices and authority of technocratic elites and governments.

Practical Anarchy and Passive Revolution

In part, this builds on technological liberation, and extends the same principles in the rest of our daily lives. By deliberately choosing liberty over convenience and luxury in all domains of our day-to-day lives, we can liberate ourselves — even in the context of the state.

An Internal Paradigm Shift

Why do the fascists keep winning? I think I know. We spend all of our time as activists arguing and fighting with each other on the internet. The left cannot even collectively agree on whether or not Zohran Mamdani’s win in New York City was a good thing or not (hint: yes, it was – even if you think he’s a corrupt asshole who’s sacrificed his ideals, you cannot deny that his election represents a wider shift in public perspective towards a socialist-orientation). And a lot of the stuff we fight internally about, really, is completely inconsequential. But all the while, why we’re fighting amongst ourselves, the fascists are doing things to advance their position. Stop fighting. Check yourself. Deconstruct. Then take a deep breath and come back and stand together with us.
