Postanarchism

Elsewhere I have written about the similarities of radical Daoist thinkers in ancient and early imperial China to more modern anarchist thinkers outside of China. In this essay I would like to compare Daoist anarchist themes with major ideas associated with what some leading radical thinkers have termed postanarchism, not only to see similarities of both types of anarchism, but also to see whether or not Daoism has any lessons for that attempted new style of discourse.

Welcome to Post-anarchism Today. This is certainly not USA
Today, et ce n’est certainement pas Aujourd’hui en France. Indeed,
it is a refreshing antidote to all such discourses of modern state
capitalism. During its short but colourful existence, post-anarchism
has always been libertarian and socialist in its basic philosophical
outlook: that’s the anarchism part. But post-@ has also maintained
its independence from modern rationalism and modern concepts
of subjectivity: that’s the post- part. (...)

This article argues that radical theory in general, and post-anarchism
specifically has spent so much effort deconstructing and analyzing
power that it has largely overlooked the important task of examining
the constructive and prefigurative dimensions of the political alternatives
coming to the fore. Drawing on the post-anarchist thought of
Deleuze, Guattari, and the Zapatistas this article (...)

Abstract
“PostAnarchia Repertoire” is a set of discrete propositions about postanarchism.
These can be read either as stand-alone units in any order,
or also as a linear development that unfolds from beginning to end.
The essay attempts to articulate the implied principles, themes, and
concepts from across a range of contemporary postanarchist writing.
Themes here include: transversality across acentric and polycentric
networks; the (...)

In this article, published in 1987, Hakim Bey coined for the first time the word "postanarchism", which has since been used with other meanings. He blamed contemporary anarchists for not meeting the needs of the present world. He attributed this failure to a fetishism of the past and the changing of the movement into a system - an "ism". He pointed to the original meaning of "anarchy", which he referred to as an ontology of chaos.

Abstract
Post-modernism has had a significant influence on anarchism, notably in the interrelation between the theoretical positions of libertarianism and post-structuralism (a set of theories and philosophies strongly identified with, but not identical to, post-modernism). This has generated a subset of anarchist thinking referred to as postanarchism. Postanarchism, like anarchism, is a fluid assemblage of political (...)
