The issue of Palestine is the issue of statism's bankruptcy!

In recent days, we have witnessed a renewed conflict in the Palestinian region and an attack by the Islamist group Hamas on the lands under the control of the Israeli government,

which was unprecedented in the past years or even decades. This incident shows more than anything that the Palestinian issue, which everyone liked to consider a "dead" issue, is still alive and with no apparent end in sight, at least as long as the governments exist!

The ancient land of Palestine belongs, first of all, to the people of this land. The people who once had a peaceful and happy life are now being slaughtered for decades in the meat grinder of nationalist and Islamist ideologies

Biography of Anarchist Fighters of Iran's Geography (No. 5)

I was born in the late 1980s. My father was a left-wing political prisoner in the 80s, and I was conceived during the prison visits.

After my father's release when I was two years old, even though he was educated, he had to go to other jobs because of his political background.

My mother couldn't bear it anymore and without saying anything she left me in the park, next to our house, with a small letter in my pocket. My father killed himself three months later.

1)
Our thread on Religion & Anarchism is just a summary of our understanding and stance on the subject. Naturally, it is lacking. There is a more comprehensive article in the works. Meanwhile, our thread generated a lot of discussions we want to address before then.

2)
Starting with our motivation, simply put, the current critiques of religion, whether from the right or the left, are not only woefully inadequate and useless but harmful in our struggle against theocratic states in Afghanistan & Iran, and the opposite of our daily experiences.

3)
We understand many people are privileged enough to not experience the effects of religious authority or have means to mitigate it. We don't have this privilege. State kills. Capitalism kills. Patriarchy kills. Racism kills. Ablism kills. And the reality is that Religion kills.

@SalSokolisk1

@SalSokolisk1 1)Let's start by saying that we are attempting to examine the relationship of religion with power. Religious anarchists, liberation theology, spiritualists, & others just like yourself set up frameworks to wrestle divinity out of the hands of the few to everyone & everything.

@SalSokolisk1

@SalSokolisk1 2) This egalitarian tendency is real and noble. Yet, this tendency is still operating under the logic of religion. The problem is not that divinity is not attributed to everyone and everything but its existence.

@SalSokolisk1

@SalSokolisk1 3) Divinity is an inherently exclusionary concept. Not everything can be divine equally, as that is the same as nothing being divine equally. Some things have to be more divine than others; Maybe humans more than animals, animals more than plants, plants more than insects, etc.

1)
In light of the recent discussion about Religion & Anarchism, we would like to share the following from our Telegram group.

The Federation of Anarchism Era consists of all anarchist tendencies except Capitalist, Religious, Nationalist, and Pacifist tendencies.

2)
Each of us might express it differently, but we would summarize the reasoning for not accepting Religious Anarchism as follows:

* Religion is an inherently hierarchical social structure in which the existence of "Divinity" is presupposed

3)
in which different living beings and people have different understandings & access to divinity, which determines their worth, position, & power within the social system.
