Ryabov Peter Biography

Actively participates in anarchist movement since the fall of the year. Quotes [edit] as for excessively hasty and lightweight statements that “the limit on the revolution has been exhausted”, I would like to remind that in March, a couple of months before the “Red May”, one of the leading French newspapers came out with an advanced person under the meaningful and, as it turned out, until curuled by a self -confident heading: “France sleeps”.

And the mustachioed classic of Nietzscheanism added: "The world does not rotate around the creators of great noise." Look at Argentina, at Albania. There is nothing more crazy, courageous, arrogant and fantastic than the position of “realists” who believe that “everything will remain as it is” and claiming: “This is unrealistic,” “this is impossible.” As the St. Petersburg Anarchist Pyotr Raush once successfully put it: “The fact that the time of revolutions has passed since they began to talk from the very moment that time has come.” Anarchy is not chaos, but a harmonious community of free personalities.

The society is not disorganized, but simply organized on other, non -melodious principles and consisting of people moving other values. Anarchism can be understood in several senses: as a social teaching with its ideal of society, as a philosophical worldview with its system of values ​​in the center of which personality and its freedom, as a subculture and movement with a certain set of personal and social practices and discourse.

Of course, one is closely connected with the other, since "faith without business is dead." Anarchism cannot be “engaged”; You can be an anarchist, confess and preach anarchism, actively contributing to everything that awakens human dignity in people and lays bricks of public self -government - outside, in addition to the authorities. In various eras, we find the spontaneous impulses of the masses to self -government, recklessness and the construction of society without violence, hierarchy and coercion, the desire of the individual to gain maximum possible freedom.

The Greek policy in which the state did not exist separately from society and all issues were resolved at the people's meetings and the Icelandic ting of the People’s Assembly, rural and city communities of the Middle Ages and the commune of the New Age, for example, Tolstoy communes, or many Israeli kibbutsy in the initial period of their existence, religious movements of spiritualists and anabaptists, working councils in Russia or Hungary in the year - this Few, imperfect, but quite real examples of mass anarchist in essence of creativity “from below”.

The many -sided and motley anarchist thought developed in parallel: from individual dreams of poets and philosophers to depressed and thoughtful teachings. Here is a far from a complete list of names and currents: Chinese Taoists, Greek Sophists, Kiniki and Stoics, anarchist prophets of early and medieval Christianity, for example, the Russian heretic of the XVI century Theodosius Kosoy, Francois Rabelais, the Diggers of the English Revolution of the XVII century ...

[2] - from the article “Anarchism, the philosophy of an awakened person”, anarchism - anarchism Initially romantic. This is the teaching of dreamers, the teaching of pathos. Bakunin was a pathos man. Today the word "pathos" sounds discredited. But let's recall that Paphos, “Path” in Greek, is passion, passion. That is, the ability to dream, the ability to break with the present. Now this romantic pathos of anarchism, the ability to rehabilitate the utopia, is lost, it must be returned.

The theory is considered something unnecessary, excessive, some kind of luxury and almost the subject of pride for anarchists is considered recognition in their own ignorance and the absence of thoughtful beliefs. While people are people, all these things are eternal. We talked about kiniki, Taoists in antiquity as the first anarchists, etc. But as soon as we move on to the specifics of anarchism-not to these high and eternal ideals, but as the brainchild of the Art Nouveau, which arose at the end of the nineteenth century, as to “-Izm”, if you like, as a certain party “ideology”-then he suffered a day together with Modern era.

And hold on to it in its former form - it is to move away from reality, not to desire to know what is happening in the world, to close in a convenient subculture, phrase, history, dogma. This must be felt, realized and overcome. I really love Bakunin, with enormous respect, I treat Kropotkin and Proudhon, but the world has changed a lot during this time. Efforts to comprehend the world around us, in the inclusion of anarchism in the wide context of culture are absolutely necessary.
