Anarchism in America

This film was released in 1983, A colorful and provocative survey of anarchism in America, the film attempts to dispel popular misconceptions and trace the historical development of the movement.

The film explores the movement both as a native American philosophy stemming from 19th century American traditions of individualism, and as a foreign ideology brought to America by immigrants.

The film features rare archival footage and interviews with significant personalities in anarchist history including Murray Boochkin and Karl Hess, and also live performance footage of the Dead Kennedys.

Produced by pacific films

I rather enjoyed this documentary. Especially the clips of Emma Goldman and the interviews. It’s kind of sad that people still have that misconception of what Anarchism is, to this very day. As we continue to see shades of blue and red and bicker over which puppet is the best one to lead us all.

I am an Anarchist. As I wrote on this blog entitled, “What anarchy means to me” . In a nutshell, Anarchism is the essence of freedom growing within that we all encompass inside of us. I think there are many anarchist out there that just don’t have a clue that they are truly anarchist. All we need to do is pick up a book written by the anarchist of yesteryear, such as from Emma Goldman, Proudhon, Kropotkin, ETC. And realize that how we view this world and that burning desire for true freedom deep down inside us, resonates with their point of view. As I found out myself.

Well enjoy this well put documentary. Leave any comments down below. Please share if you enjoyed. Peace, love, freedom.

Video: Keep the world beautiful 1971 crying indian Ad

by Jivan Wild June 25, 2015June 25, 2015

I am stoned and this video made me laugh because this video looks like how I sound and for the most part feel when I see all the garbage. But suffice to say the message still resonates so much so today. It has become a global issue. We need to change the way we treat this world. Become indigenous to the world. Connect back to it’s core. Connect back to the Earth so that we could connect back to each other. We need to reduce our footprint in this mass consumption that we live in. We just want and take. We now live in a society that has to buy happiness and we just leave a trail of destruction on our path to happiness. True happiness can be found within this beautiful world around us, we took heaven and confined it into a prison and we must break heaven free. Enjoy the video

Watch What Happens When Humanity Ignores Garbage (Short Film)

by Jivan Wild March 16, 2015March 16, 2015

Watch What Happens When Humanity Ignores Garbage

Here is a video Raising awareness to pollution. When i arrive to the beach, the first thing i do is look around and pick up any garbage that there might be. Anything going into the ocean or anything that can be blown by the wind into the ocean, cups, bags.

It is our responsibility to take action and keep our world clean. Whatever we can do, no matter how small. It still makes an impact and we have to be the collective dents to make a big enough impact and that can only happen if we all work together. Work towards bettering our world.

I see many people ignore the garbage. They just walk by it or sit next to it. They figure it’s not theirs so why should they pick it up and that is the problem with our world. We turn a blind eye to shit that matters. We go on with that mentality, that mentality of well let someone else do that and that just continues and it’s why we have this constant pollution piling up.

Instead of picking up we just continue to contribute, instead of being the solution we continue to be the problem. We pass this on to the next generation and this is what we teach them by ignoring that garbage. The cycle just continues and it has come to the point that all the garbage is now an afterthought. So much garbage, that it has now blended itself into the beautiful scenery, into the paradise that we have forgotten that our world is and truly could be.

Here is a video made by a group called sea shepherd from Uruguay. This video depicts what I have been protesting for in various beaches where I currently reside in the island of Puerto Rico. People leaving the beach often see me with my sign and tell me that they cleaned up “their” garbage, but that other garbage around them is not theirs. In which I remind them that the garbage is everyone’s responsibility, no matter if it is not yours. I tell them that the garbage you leave behind is the inheritance you leave for your children. Not only what they leave for their children, but the other species that inhabit this world that also call this home, as we go on thinking that we are the only species. I have a similar protest where I put a garbage bag over my head which can be seen by clicking here.

But first enjoy this video by that group and

Please share this post so that together we can all raise awareness since the world seems to be sleeping through all this garbage.. Let’s make our world a paradise. peace!

recoja — Pick up, even if it is not yours! If we all do our part, we could change the world!

WATCH: When Birds Eat Plastic

by Jivan Wild February 24, 2015February 24, 2015

I protest for those who can’t speak for themselves as I wrote in this blog. Time to start making a change in our world. I think we need to stop using plastic, stop accepting plastic bags in the store, stop using plastic cups. We do live in a world that it has become unavoidable to use plastic. But if we can reduce our way of consumption we can start making the changes and we must find alternatives to plastic, such as cannabis hemp where we can make biodegradable plastic.

Video: Joe Rogan on the Society Trap: Do What You love. Stop Being Part Of The Machine.

by Jivan Wild January 16, 2015January 16, 2015

Video: Joe Rogan: Do what you love. Stop being part of the machine.

“We got sidetracked and diverted into these boxes, these cubicles in offices,” he says. “So instead of investing your time in a passion, you’ve sold your life to work for an uncaring machine that doesn’t understand you. That’s the problem with our society. And what’s the reward? Go home and get a big TV.”

Everything said in this video by Joe Rogan, is something I, and I would assume most people are conveying. Just like Alan watts would say, do what you love and forget the money. But we are a cog in this machine. We end up doing things we hate, walking around with signs on our backs in 90 degree weather, handing out papers and I ask is this is your purpose on this world.

Many will say well get yourself a proper education and you can do what you love. But that’s a load of bs. Many people go into school thinking they know what they want and end up stuck in doing something they dread. Maybe what they thought they wanted to do was just something sold to them by their parents and friends. But doing something we love should come naturally.

Money should not be the reason we go out and do something. We are living in this world just to exist, just to live in artificial mediocrity. Many would say we can’t all do what we love. We continue to have this pessimistic view and we just continue to narrow our horizons to see past everything. We just accept everything for how they are because we have become numb to it all.

I think we can all do what we love. But it starts with changing our perception of things. How we view the world.

Feel free to leave comments below. What do work and society mean to you? Do you agree with Rogan’s and my own assessment. Let me know your thoughts.

Alan Watts: What If Money Were No Object? (Video And Illustration)

by Jivan Wild December 31, 2014December 31, 2014

What if money were no object?

I always fathom this question because it seems like our sole purpose in this life has become to amass as much money as we can, die and let it repeat with the next generations to go through with this same cycle.

We go on living in this rat race, doing things we hate just for money. Do we ever stop and ask why. Well mostly everyone will say to survive as this world has become survival of the fittest as we endlessly compete with one another and go through this regurgitated cycle.

All our lives we chase happiness only to find misery. Alan Watts said it best, what if money were no object? What would you be doing? Would you go on doing things you hate, just to go on living a miserable existence, letting stress eat at your health or would you do something you are passionate about.

Alan Watts (1915-1973) who held both a master’s degree in theology and a doctorate of divinity, is best known as an interpreter of Zen Buddhism in particular, and Indian and Chinese philosophy in general. He authored more than 20 excellent books on the philosophy and psychology of religion, and lectured extensively, leaving behind a vast audio archive. With characteristic lucidity and humor Watts unravels the most obscure ontological and epistemological knots with the greatest of ease

Here is an illustration of Alan Watts and below that the video of his philosophy. Illustration taken from http://zenpencils.com/comic/98-alan-watts-what-if-money-was-no-object/

what would you do if money were no object?

WATCH: Human Resources Social Engineering In The 20th Century (Documentary)

by Jivan Wild December 4, 2014December 4, 2014

Human resources social engineering in the 20th century

Human Resources: Social Engineering in the 20th Century explores the rise of mechanistic philosophy and the exploitation of human beings under modern hierarchical systems. Topics covered include behaviorism, scientific management, work-place democracy, schooling, frustration-aggression hypothesis and human experimentation

“Essentially,” says Scott, “this film is about the rise of mechanistic philosphy and the exploitation of human beings under modern hierarhical systems.” The film includes original interviews with: “Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Rebecca Lemov (“World as Laboratory”), Christopher Simpson (“The Science of Coercion”), George Ritzer (“The McDonaldization of Society”), Morris Berman (“The Reenchantment of the World”), John Taylor Gatto (“Dumbing us Down”), Alfie Kohn (“What does it mean to be well educated?”) and others.”

I think this documentary is great so that others can see these perspectives and realize how we have been manipulated, conditioned and domesticated into this way of being. Really gives you an insight on how exploited and oppressed we truly are. Well enjoy this documentary. Leave any comments down below.

WATCH: Living Utopia (Anarchism in Spain Documentary)

by Jivan Wild May 5, 2014May 5, 2014

Living utopia (Anarchism in Spain documentary)

A great documentary about the Spanish revolution and anarchism in 1936. I just wonder what would have happen if it continued and fascism did not destroy that movement. I truly believe this is something that we need. We can learn from them, we can take ideas from our past and evolve it for the present. Unity and solidarity with our brothers and sisters all over the world would be needed to stand together. To build a better world, a better tomorrow. Nothing is perfect. It won’t be this living utopia. But what we currently have now is far from perfect, we live in a system where a government of a select few oppress and exploit the many. Anarchism is freeing ourselves from those chains. To go beyond the mundane bullshit we have been living. I wrote a blog entitled what anarchy means to me, which can be found by clicking here.

There are many of us, many of us who are anarchist, but many don’t know it. Many people have this misconstrued definition of what an anarchist truly is as we often define it with what the media construes us to be. But many out there have this yearning for true freedom, this yearning to be free from the shackles and control of governments. What if instead of being born to an unjust system that like everything else, is indoctrinated into us. What if instead of conditioning ourselves into this competitive system with each other, this dog eat dog world. We condition our children to grow up to think freely. To develop their own way of thinking without the controls and indoctrination. Let them condition themselves and to learn how to treat others the way that they want to be treated. What if from the start they were conditioned to respect all living things. To be truly independent. They have molded our minds to fit in the constraints of boxes. What if our minds were molded to not fit in the confines of a box, but to be free!

Enjoy the documentary. Please leave any comments down below on what you thought of the video. if we need something more than how we are living. PLease share. peace and love
