Freeing Our Relationships

A conversation with a friend who recently gave an "introduction to anarchism" workshop and is also writing an article called "Making Our Relationships More Free." He's putting forward an anarchism that seeks a collective, relational freedom rather than an individual one. Topics include: - how to frame anarchism to people who don't understand it yet. - a forthcoming anthology about the place of individualism in anarchism. - the difference between freedom and capacity. - the definition of freedom, and how to envision freedom without relying on liberal or capitalist conceptions of the individual. - how we get free through changing and remaking our relationships with other people and other living things. - the possibility of global revolution. - the difference between anarchist analysis and revolutionary strategy.
