Anarcho-Marijuanism is a set of beliefs of Weedman.
I am influenced by Stirner, Nietzsche and various post left theorists
In philosophy, I take elements from various schools and ideas, mostly Stirnerism, Nietzscheanism, irrationalism, individualism and environmentalism from Romanticism, view on life from Existentialism, approach to truth and others from Postmodernism, animistic and pantheist worldview from Paganism and various social and psychological ideas from Deleuzianism, as opposed to religion, moralism, humanism, enlightenment rationalism, File:CounterEn.png medieval obscurantism, Leviathan and social contract, collectivism, materialism, defeatist nihilism, metaphysical realism and universalism.
I am a Contemporary Anarchist, contrary to classical anarchists I reject fighting to a higher cause, end goal politics, better world. I believe in action of everyday life, fighting authorities through individual, and then social insurrections. I am strongly opposed to not only state and capitalism, but civilization, organization and society as a whole. My preferable form of organization would be union of egoists, and preferable economics would be moneyless mutual aid market. I am an environmentalist, I believe that every organism has unique consciousness, and Earth itself is interconnected. The only possible "goal" of my idea is establishing a few communities based on free association, mutual aid and ecology.

Beliefs
I am not a revolutionary. I don't wait for the people to rise and overthrow the status quo. I want to live in the present, not wait for a historical event that will make the world better forever.
I am not a communist - for similar reasons as mentioned above. I don't believe that classless, moneyless, stateless society is the final stage of human history. I don't and I will never trust "the people" and their revolution - it will always turn against me and my will - new classes will emerge after the revolution. Capitalism will never be escaped in 100%, but it can be escaped in 98%. So let us live without it's boundaries, without forcing us another soul saving systems.
I am neither feminist nor queer (insert ideology here). Man, woman, queer, cishetero, black, white, meaningless. Those identities don't name me, unique, they are categories imposed on me by society. It doesn't mean I want abstract norms and roles related to identities - I oppose all ideas like it. Thus I oppose bourgeois "human" and "minority rights". I oppose queer as a political notion being simply recuperation of liberatory movements. We can be whatever we want without any social identities.
I am not an environmentalist in common sense - I don't care about humanistic "protecting the environment" while claiming that human race is owner of planet Earth and nature. I believe in Earth being an interconnected organism composed of innumerable living beings, animals, plants, fungi, microbes. All of them create an ecosystem. I also believe that all of those being have a soul - unique individual consciousness and will, even if we cannot detect it by using materialistic science and rationalistic paradigms. Anthropocentrism is a cancer destroying not only the planet but also ourselves. My environmental thought is closest to animistic deep ecology.
I am an anarchist - although not in definitions of Proudhon, Bakunin and Kropotkin - anarchy isn't a system to be established, not an ideology or a program to be followed, not a moral code that we should abide. It's a living movement and pure praxis, it's a free lifestyle and a mean of how autonomous zones are created, an insurrection against all that enslaves us. Armed insurrection, temporary autonomous zones, unorganized crime, why not? But also free association, squats or community gardens. Unions of egoists as a kind of friendship. Relations between individuals. The constantly changing idea, without objective political goals. Ownness and autonomy in its purest form.
Little Anarchist Dictionary
- Anarchy - a free lifestyle and freedom of thought, relations, organization, exchange and everything else.
- Capitalism - economic system and social relations based on division of labor, monetary trade, private property laws and private coercion. Inherently connected to civilization.
- Civilization - form of organization based on settling in urban and rural areas, division of labor, bureaucratic political system, economy based on monetary exchange, mass production, organized systems of beliefs/ideologies and coercion.
- Demiurge - the totality of civilizational oppression that tries to create our lives and shape our will instead of us. Can take different forms, like politics, religion, economy, industry, ideology, morality and law.
- Ideology - inhibition of thought to frames and abstract concepts like God, humanity, law, state, morality, equality, liberty, justice, fraternity, etc.
- Law - set of rules set by Leviathan, aggressively forced and any disobedience is harshly punished.
- Leviathan/State - Monopoly on violence existing in certain territory.
- Money - tool primarily invented for "easier" exchange of goods, currently a tool of control without value other than "value" set by central authorities. Thing that creates ever expanding capital accumulation and thus slavery.
- Morality - set of abstract rules, contrary to law there is no physical punishment for disobeying them, but this is so embedded into our unconsciousness that we feel wrong while breaking moral codes.
- Organization - an attempt to arrange people into groups and bodies without their aware consent.
- Praxis - everything we do to make our lives better, outside of mainstream politics and the status quo.
- Religion - ideologized, organized and often commodified spirituality.
- Technology - tools and mechanisms invented for making life easier, that become our rulers.
- Theory - sets of thoughts and ideas made for ordering them.
Civilization - Debilization
TBA - Here I will explain my position on civilization as a whole.
Politics is Religion
TBA - Here I will explain that every ideology, prophecy, doctrine, religion, organized philosophy and system of thought is ultimately pointless
Anarchy not Ideology
TBA - Here I will explain my position anarchy and what it is and isn't
Relations
The Uniques
Ideologies that I fully agree with.
- Anarcho-Egoism - I don't care about the society, humanity, nation, religion, order, liberty cause, I live for myself only. But it isn't egotism, I need social relations to live happy, that's why we have unions of egoists, being free association that doesn't use any form of coercion. We shall reject and destroy phantasms of law, morality, rights, sins and others through individual insurrections, we don't wait for the people's revolution, we want and will live free here and now!
- Insurrectionary Anarchism
- Post-Anarchism
- Post-Civilizationism
- Post-Leftism
The Insurrectionaries
Ideologies I have disagreements with, but still are acceptable.
- Anarcho-Individualism - Even if I fully agree that societies, states, economies, traditions, laws and morals are simply burden on individual, I don't see the goal of abolition of the state as something both realistic and ultimately liberating.
- Anarcho-Nihilism - Well, many misinterpret anarcho-nihilism, it's not about depression and crying, it's about active nihilism, liberation through negation. I refuse to call myself nihilist though.
- Ego-Communism
- Ontological Anarchism
- Situationism
The Messianic Utopian Prophets
Ideologies that may have heart in a right place, but still are misguided by end goals, utopias, politics, morality and ideology.
- Agorism - Not bad idea that we should engage into black and grey markets, but how it will change the system? You are right that political parties will not just defeat the state because they are fully part of the state, but black markets will not do it as well. Markets that include money will never give you freedom, you still are subjugated to dog eat dog competition. NAP is another stupid totalizing moral framework that will never work in practice.
- Anarcho-Communism - Confederal direct democracy. The end goal of the human race, there is nothing more ideal in society than this. Worthless. The state and capital will never disappear through anarcho-communist revolution, all your current praxis including those protests and worker unions are totally worthless in changing anything. I will show you disadvantages of direct democracy; if the commune will democratically vote that you must rape (collectively owned) dog everyday or they will exile you leaving for you nothing, you simply must do it. Coercion will not disappear in these communes, many things will left mandatory. The worst part of anarcho-communism is their impernationalism; communes, federations of communes, and finally global federation of communes... coordinated by the democratic world government? Please, this is so pathetic...
- Anarcho-Collectivism - I have same issues with anarcho-collectivism like with anarcho-communism, but you have totally useless labor vouchers that will be even more useless when there is no markets to exchange it. How it will be distributed? Does it need some kind of central authority, even in commune? You will "remove" the state and capitalism, but still save it's elements; factories, agriculture, shops (distribution centers or whatever) and many others.
- Anarcho-Pacifism - Your peaceful civil disobedience will lead to nothing. Protests are miserable parts of status quo, not a real movement bringing change. Only thing that didn't place you lower is that some of praxis that you accept like squatting or avoiding coercion are okay.
- Anarcho-Primitivism - Only one time Bookchin was right and it was description of anprim as edenic glorification of prehistory. Tribal primitive society wasn't heaven, from what we know humans just hunted and gathered their food all the time, in between starved, were sick and ran away from predators. Putting aside facts about prehistory, how would you introduce your society? Nuclear war? Noah's flood? It's just impossible in every way. Still Zerzan did many good criticisms of civilization.
- Leftist Necromancy - Communism as a movement to abolish the current state of things. No matter how good it sounds, will "the people" really do it? Will they replace capitalist social relations by communist ones by insurrection? No. What will change them? Conditions of capitalism? Even the imaginary party as you call it will probably not want to make communism, they at least want to live free lifestyles here and now, not waiting for a mass insurrection that will finally destroy the great capital. When proletariat in capitalism will be replaced by consumers, the need of insurrection will be smaller even more. Although I agree that proletariat is defined by it's self oppression, but I am still not a worker, not a consumer, but I am myself. I don't wish for the people rising against capital, it's meaningless, I want to live free here and now, I don't care about your stupid councils, communes, until they don't give me what I want.
- Mutualism
- Queer Anarchism
The NPCs
Ideologies that are mere extensions to the status quo, introducing nothing interesting, being simply boring cucks.
- Anarcho-Capitalism - Replace the state by corporations. Replace police, prisons, military and courts by privately owned ones. Is it guaranteed that your society will not be ruled by warlords, mafias and gangs? No, it will be. Oh no, you have totalizing morality and absolute property rights, then society will live in peace forever! No, not at all.
- Anarcho-Syndicalism - Not a rebel, but fully predictable extension to the status quo. Syndicalism is just half-dead parody of anticapitalism.
- Classical Liberalism
- Conservatism
- Ecommodification - Pathetic attempt of corporations to make capitalism more "human face" by commodification of everything that can be dangerous for it.
- Left Communism
- Liberalism
- Libertarian Municipalism
- Libertarian Socialism
- Libertarianism
- Minarchism
- Paleolibertarianism
