“I don’t want to dictate moral maxims to my “neighbor,” or teach anyone anything… I leave this task to the missionaries of all faiths, the priests of all churches, the demagogues of all parties, the apostles of all ideas.
I only want to howl my extreme rebellion against everything that oppresses me; I only want to push far away from me everything that the religious, socialist, or libertarian priesthood wants to impose on my individuality without me having freely accepted and wanted it.”
“Our epoch is an epoch of decadence. Bourgeois- christian-plebeian civilization arrived at the dead end of its evolution a long time ago.
Democracy has arrived!
But under the false splendor of democratic civilization, higher spiritual values have fallen, shattered.
Willful strength, barbarous individuality, free art, heroism, genius, poetry have been scorned, mocked, slandered.
And not in the name of “I”, but of the “collective”. Not in the name of “the unique one”, but of society.”

A tale of a 19th century Russian anarchist woman taking her freedom into her own hands and evading state authorities while being undocumented.
A collection of poetic writings by Renzo Novatore
From the text:
“God is dead, his throne has been cast down, the shattered heaven now lets the eagles pass beyond the biblical signs the divided the kingdom of humanity from the kingdom of god.
But who will shatter the kingdom of humanity?
When will the one be born who, beyond God and beyond Humanity, will shatter your vulgar traps, o Holy Mother Nature?”
“Today’s era smells like engine oil, cheap labor, sweat and naphthalene of the morality of voluntary obedience… We do not want to be defined by the culture of techno-industrial fascism, the white uniforms of scientists, the neckties of technocrats, the eager silences of ordinary people, the stupid smiles of consumers… We do not match with the aesthetics of the glass world of flat television screens, the digital imitation of the life of social media, the display windows of lifestyle, the lens of security cameras. We do not fit in the society of captivity, the police checks of our identification papers, the supervision of security guards, the laws of the judges, the locked doors of prisons. We do not settle for the average normality dictated by morality, we don’t amuse our boredom with psychotropic drugs, we aren’t covered by the coldness of empty relations, we don’t read… Marx.”
“The anarcho-nihilist position is essentially that we are fucked.1 That the current
manifestation of human society (civilization, leviathan, industrial society, global
capitalism, whatever) is beyond salvation, and so our response to it should be one
of unmitigated hostility. There are no demands to be made, no utopic visions to be
upheld, no political programs to be followed — the path of resistance is one of pure
negation”
“I wonder if without social law and order people would be encouraged to re-
engage with their senses and survival instincts – to discover a self-love so vivid
in the ecstasy of embracing one’s self as worthy of violent self-defense. In a
dangerous space, there would be no victims – only independent individuals in
full ownership of their lives, each peacefully existing with a mutual
understanding of assured consequences”
“Industrial society or what I call the machine is composed of various institutions built upon oppressive ideologies all around, imposing their influence, control, and civilizing domination upon all wild beings. These institutions are first and foremost built, maintained, and upheld by individuals who have collectively surrendered their freedom to institutional power. Recently, I have decided against using the phrase “the masses” because I have come to understand how it flattens important differences between all individuals. So instead I will use commune to refer to the social continuity of industrial society- a commune of unique individuals whose majority have, either wilfully or through social indoctrination, subscribed to the vision of industrial progress. When enough individuals submit to a social system, those born into it become indoctrinated. Independent thinking becomes difficult and many individuals prefer to continue their social assimilation rather than experience the social isolation of a rebel life.”
“We are being led to our slaughter. This has been theorized in a thousand ways, described in environmental, social, and political terms. It has been prophesied, abstracted, and narrated in real time, and still we are unsure what to do with it. The underlying point is that the progressity of society has nothing to offer us and everything to take away. Often it feel like we’re giving it away without a fight: when we sell our time for money, allow our passions to be commodified, invest ourselves in the betterment of society, or sustain ourselves on the spoils of ecological destruction, we openly (though not consensually) participate in our own destruction.”
“Towards the abolition of gender and against reformist projects, my anarchist war does not limit itself to the confines of politics. Instead, it includes a queer nihilist life-experience of becoming ungoverned by gender and any other social constructs intended to subjugate and discourage individual uniqueness. Beyond the limitations of theory, this also includes clandestine attack on the manifestations of society, negating the domestication of law and order.”
