'''Anarcho-Nihilism''' ('''AnNihil''' or '''AnNil''') is an [[File:Indiv.png]] Individualist [[File:Awaj.png]] [[:Category:Anarchists|Anarchist]] ideology who believes that nothing at all contains objective and fixed meaning or essence, and as such, society, humanism, the state, morals, truth, and dogmas have no basis at all and should be rejected. They see negation of these constructs as liberation from them.


'''Anarcho-Nihilism''' ('''AnNihil''' or '''AnNil''') is an [[File:UltraAn.png]] ultraradical anarchist ideology and a form of [[File:Anin.png]] [[Anarcho-Individualism]] that rejects all social institutions completely, including religion, law and any type of morality.
He sees government, family, and law as false constructs that have no real reason to govern the life of the individual, and thinks that the individual should reject false restraints. Influenced by the [[File:RussianNil.png]] [[W:Russian nihilist movement|Russian Nihilism]], he sees extreme violence towards social construct and authorities as a valid way to bring about political change.


==Etymology==
==Etymology==
Anarcho-Nihilism comes from Anarchism and Nihilism, that takes from apathy for authority from anarchism, and negation of all social constructs from nihilism.
Anarcho-Nihilism comes from «anarchy» meaning the absence of authority and Latin word «nihilo» that means «nothing»

==Beliefs==

Anarcho-Nihilists' views may somewhat diverge, but generally:<br>

a) they reject all social institutions and civilization, sometimes coming to [[File:Anprim.png]] [[Anarcho-Primitivism]];<br>
b) they maintain that although the history of Anarchism is a «glorious failure», oppression should be resisted even without a hope for change;<br>
c) they crave the [[File:AnOnto.png]] immediate liberation which they find in crime and insurrection («the pleasure of destruction»);<br>

Some Anarcho-Nihilists (Serafinski) take a pessimistic stance that political change won't happen in the visible time. Among these Nihilists [[File:Econil.png]] ecological pessimism and [[File:Misanthropy.png]] misanthropy are also popular. Other Nihilists (Flower Bomb), although disillusioned, still hope for the future feral life free from social institutions.

There's a great confusion between Anarcho-Nihilism and [[File:ExisNil.png]] [[w:Existential_Nihilism|existential nihilism]]. The latter is the philosophy denying all values, hence «meaninglessness of life». Meanwhile, «nihilism» in Anarcho-Nihilism means radical rebellion against civilization.

Another common confusion is that between Anarcho-Nihilism and [[File:Schopenhauer.png]] [[w: Philosophical_pessimism|absolute pessimism]]. It's true that Anarcho-Nihilists are often depressed, but it doesn't mean they hate life; what they really hate is repressive structures being forced upon them.

Anarcho-Nihilism is close to [[File:Radape.png]] [[Radical Apoliticism]] exept Radical Apoliticism wants to eradicate political mentality as such, while Anarcho-Nihilism wants to destroy social institutions but still remains an ideology. Another difference is that Radical Apoliticism hates political institutions, but not necessarily '''all''' institutions (e. g. law, religion, morality), by contrast with Anarcho-Nihilism.


==History==
==History==
===Historical background===
'''Anarcho-Nihilism''' first appeared during the late 19th and early 20th century around the time of the Russian Revolution. [[w:Peter_Kropotkin|Peter Kropotkin]] defined nihilism as: "the symbol of struggle against all forms of tyranny, hypocrisy, and artificiality and for individual freedom." Nihilism is meant to bring down social structures in society that hold back the individual, and to Anarcho-Nihilists, this meant government. The Nihilist movement started to die out in Russia, but was revived by [[w:Leo_Strauss|Leo Strauss]] in 20th century Germany. Since then, Nihilist groups like the AIF have come to the front lines in order to try and revive the Nihilist movement.
'''Nihilism''' as a political movement first appeared in czarist Russia in the middle of the 19th century and is known under the name of [[File:RussianNil.png]] [[w:Russian_nihilist_movement|Russian Nihilism]]. The leading Russian anarchist of the time [[File:Kropotkin.png]] Peter Kropotkin defined Nihilism as «the symbol of struggle against all forms of tyranny, hypocrisy, and artificiality and for individual freedom». Russian Nihilism was meant to bring down all traditional social structures without necessarily proposing an alternative. Many Russian Nihilists were sympathetic to [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|socialism]], however, their primary aim was a destructive revolt, first cultural then armed, which resulted in the assassination of the Russian czar [[File:Tsar.png]] [[w:Alexander_II_of_Russia|Alexander II]]. As the nihilist Bazarov, the character of the [[w:Fathers_and_Sons_(novel)|«Fathers and Sons»]] novel (1862), maintains, Nihilists are here to destroy, and building will be a job of the different people.
===Influenced by===
Modern anarcho-nihilism is influenced by Stirnerite egoism and Russian nihilist movement. From egoism it takes negation of social construct, from Russian nihilism opposition toward moral values, religion and tradition. It also is compatible with other post-left movements, because tenets of Anarcho-Nihilism are similar to these of Post-Left Anarchism.

First movement that had similar ideology to Anarcho-Nihilism was Russian Nihilist Movement.

===Modern===
Modern anarcho-nihilists belongs to post-left anarchists. This ideology has little or no praxis in real life currently, but has modern theorists are Aragorn! and Serafinski (author of Blessed is the Flame). Not much is known about them, as ideology is currently popular in internet, rather than in politics from different reasons, like avoiding authority, organized political action.

However, Anarcho-Illegalists reject all restrictions altogether, both moral and legal, what results in them committing mercenary crimes and (potentially) insurrections.

However, Anarcho-Nihilists go even further. Egoists wish an establishment of the egoist society, while Nihilists are radical enough to put even Egoism under question, recognizing its [[File:Egosoc.png]] restrictive potential. Even egoist society isn't entirely free if egoism becomes a prescription, an institution. This is why Anarcho-Nihilism rejects all social institutions whatever they are.

"My motto is: walk expropriating and igniting, always leaving behind me howls of moral offenses and smoking trunks of old things."

Anarcho-Nihilism (AnNihil or AnNil) is an ultraradical anarchist ideology and a form of Anarcho-Individualism that rejects all social institutions completely, including religion, law and any type of morality.

Etymology

Anarcho-Nihilism comes from «anarchy» meaning the absence of authority and Latin word «nihilo» that means «nothing»

Beliefs

Anarcho-Nihilists' views may somewhat diverge, but generally:

a) they reject all social institutions and civilization, sometimes coming to Anarcho-Primitivism;
b) they maintain that although the history of Anarchism is a «glorious failure», oppression should be resisted even without a hope for change;
c) they crave the immediate liberation which they find in crime and insurrection («the pleasure of destruction»);

Some Anarcho-Nihilists (Serafinski) take a pessimistic stance that political change won't happen in the visible time. Among these Nihilists ecological pessimism and misanthropy are also popular. Other Nihilists (Flower Bomb), although disillusioned, still hope for the future feral life free from social institutions.

There's a great confusion between Anarcho-Nihilism and existential nihilism. The latter is the philosophy denying all values, hence «meaninglessness of life». Meanwhile, «nihilism» in Anarcho-Nihilism means radical rebellion against civilization.

Another common confusion is that between Anarcho-Nihilism and absolute pessimism. It's true that Anarcho-Nihilists are often depressed, but it doesn't mean they hate life; what they really hate is repressive structures being forced upon them.

Anarcho-Nihilism is close to Radical Apoliticism exept Radical Apoliticism wants to eradicate political mentality as such, while Anarcho-Nihilism wants to destroy social institutions but still remains an ideology. Another difference is that Radical Apoliticism hates political institutions, but not necessarily all institutions (e. g. law, religion, morality), by contrast with Anarcho-Nihilism.

History

Historical background

Nihilism as a political movement first appeared in czarist Russia in the middle of the 19th century and is known under the name of Russian Nihilism.

Russian Nihilism was meant to bring down all traditional social structures without necessarily proposing an alternative. Many Russian Nihilists were sympathetic to socialism, however, their primary aim was a destructive revolt, first cultural then armed, which resulted in the assassination of the Russian czar Alexander II. As the nihilist Bazarov, the character of the «Fathers and Sons» novel (1862), maintains, Nihilists are here to destroy, and building will be a job of the different people.

Although many Russian Nihilists were egoists, they were rather far from the egoism as understood by Stirner. Apart from being generally left-leaning, they embraced ontological materialism, hard determinism and scientism. You could call them ordinary egoists as contrasted with philosophical.

Importantly, Russian Nihilism is not Anarcho-Nihilism despite their similarities. Regarding those seen as the ideologues of Russian Nihilism, Bakunin was a social anarchist, Chernyshevsky was a utopian socialist and Nechayev was considered as a totalitarian communist, that doesn't count to Anarcho-Nihilism.

Influences

Modern Anarcho-Nihilism is influenced by Stirner's Egoism and Russian Nihilism. From Egoism it takes selfishness, from Russian Nihilism the inclination for active social disruption. Stirner opposed the notion of revolution which is seen as centralized and re-enslaving. Instead Stirner proposes an insurrection, that is, a spontaneous and decentralized revolt.

Origin

Presumably, the first Anarcho-Nihilist was an Italian illegalist Renzo Novatore («I Am Also a Nihilist»), whose philosophy was desribed as Ego-Nihilism.

Examples

The only known organization relating itself to Anarcho-Nihilism is a Greek terrorist organization Nihilist Faction (Φράξια Μηδενιστών). Their attacks include three they carried out on their own in 1996 (bombing in the IBM offices, the shopping center and the apartment of the Supreme Court deputy prosecutor) and several arsons of the Greek diplomats' cars they committed from 2012 to 2014 as a member of the Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei network. However, their devotion to the «inalienable rights to life and liberty» evident from their proclamation suggests that they just took some inspiration from Russian nihilist movement rather than being Anarcho-Nihilists in the full sense.

Anarcho-Nihilism remains a relatively minor tendency within Anarchism with the lack of any associations adhering to it. However, the Chaos Star appropriated by Anarcho-Nihilists as a symbol keeps appearing here and there, so the tendency seems to be sustainable.

Relationships (not like it matters anyway)

Friends

Anarcho-Nihilism has no ideological friends since it would imply that some ideology has more values and meanings than others.

Frenemies

  • Post-Leftism - Welcome to the club, buddy. But you still believe that something can be changed.
  • Anarcho-Individualism - You get me. But you don't go far enough and you are still spooked by morality.
  • Anarcho-Egoism - Stirner was right about a lot of things.But you cannot be absolutely unique, you are part of this whole meaningless cycle of life, just accept death.
  • Agorism - Buying guns on the black market is cool. (Also just because our flag is similar, we are not the same!). But you are pacifist and believe in "pacifist revolution" which is laughable.
  • Anti-Humanism - "Humanity" as a concept is nothing more than abstract and transparent. But you can be very dogmatic sometimes.
  • Illegalism - Unorganized crime is praxis.
  • Insurrectionary Anarchism - “From the shattered tools and bones of our predecessors, we craft our own weapons. Nothing is guaranteed to work, yet we attack regardless. We do so nakedly, having shed the rags of morality, ideology, and politics that had accumulated over time. We confront this world raw, in all its horrifying glory.”
  • Queer Anarchism - Be gay, do crime. Let's go spread terror in catboy outfits together. But your modern variants are pathetic, focusing only on social media wars on idpol. You can cancel me all you want, but it's true.
  • Soulism - Drugs are making my life better, but your utopianism is stupid. You say that I can have what I want in lucid dreams, take psychedelics that change my state of consciousness, shift my mind into desired utopia permanently, or upload my mind to a computer? Sounds good!
  • Apoliticism - F*ck that circus called politics. But you are still enslaved by law and morality.
  • Radical Apoliticism - "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."
  • Anarcha-Feminism - Same as Queer Anarchism, you are too into culture war, turn off Twitter, pick up a gun and kill patriarchal politicians and clergy who oppresses you, reject family values, and live free.
  • Eco-Anarchism - Some of my followers support it, but we're all gonna die along with the natural environment one day, so it's meaningless.
  • Anarcho-Primitivism - We both hate civilization. But playing video games and watching anime that are products of technology are things that keep me alive in this boring and depressing world.
  • Indigenous Anarchism - Same as Eco-Anarchism, just reject and abandon all traditions, including worship of nature and we are fine. But Aragorn! is based.
  • Black Anarchism - Black Lives Matter, really? No lives matter, same as Anarcha-Feminism picking up guns and killing slave owners and cops, and abandoning peaceful protests.
  • Ego-Communism - Cool drugs, but really, Marx? I can leave society at least. My communist variant likes you
  • Buddhist Anarchism - I don't like religion, morality, asceticism, and communal lifestyle, but we agree that living in this world is suffering.
  • State Atheism - Atheism is based, but humanism is cringe. Morality is still a manifestation of oppressive theism. Reject belief in any higher “goal”, reject the sacred. The true path is the path of pure denial.
  • Noveltism - Eternal changes and rejection of the past are based. But you can't just jump to the future, we're always in the present.
  • Death Worship - Authoritarian but we both love death.
  • Post-Anarchism - I don't understand you at all, but rejecting classical anarchism is good.
  • Anti-Civ - End civilization!
  • Existentialist Anarchism - "I used to think that my life was a tragedy, but now I realize, it's a fucking comedy."
  • Gift Economy - I hate anything related to Christmas and don't believe in Santa. But thanks for the antidepressant pills.
  • Foucouldianism - Good job with comparing psychiatric hospitals, schools, and prisons. They all are oppressive institutions, that limit my freedom in all possible ways.
  • Posadism - Yes, world sooner end into ashes with ruins, and better early than never. But I don't believe that aliens will come and same humans asses.

Enemies

  • Theocracy - "The creation of a sick fantasy. Inhabitant of senile and impotent brains. Companion and comforter of spirits born to slavery. A pill for constipated minds. Marxism for the faint of heart."
  • Humanism - "An abstract word with a negative connotation, long on power, short on truth. An obscene mask painted on the mean face of a shrewd vulgarian for the purpose of dominating the multitude of sentimentalist idiots and imbeciles."
  • Authoritarianism - "Penal servitude for the semi-intelligent, a cowshed of imbecility. A Circe who transforms her adoring fans into dogs and pigs. A prostitute for the master, a pimp of the foreigner. Child-eater, parent-slanderer, and scoffer at heroes."
  • Socialism - "Discipline, discipline; obedience, obedience; slavery and ignorance, pregnant with authority. A bourgeois body grotesquely fattened by a vulgar Christian creature. A medley of fetishism, sectarianism, and cowardice."
  • Tsar Alexander II - Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.
  • Tsar Alexander III - Consequences? For my Actions? What the fu-ACK!
  • Libertarian Municipalism - Yes, I hate society, I am a misanthrope and lifestylist. You aren't even an anarchist so stfu.
  • Anarcho-Syndicalism - State is down? Your stupid unions and federations will be next.
  • Platformism - Same as Ansynd you fucking tankie.
  • Avaritionism and Anarcho-Capitalism - It's not about the money, it's about sending a message.
  • Religious Anarchism - Oxymoron. Religion is incompatible with anarchism because it requires the individual to obey external forces and strictly adhere to dogmas.
  • Anarcho-Conservatism - Same as above.
  • Conservatism - You don’t need to conserve anything, because nothing has meaning. Also it’s not a phase dad!
  • Progressivism - Opposition to conservatism is based, but creation of new “progressive” values is cringe.
  • Every other ideology, especially authoritarian, capitalist, religious, pragmatic, and conservative ones.

Quotes

«I am nothing, I do not recognise your laws, all your existing rules, order, authorities, morality, god, fairy tales of goodness and conscience. I am disgusted from your this dirty world, I want to destroy everything that is the beautiful one and the ugly one. I'm not feeding any kind of hope to about your world, I live only and only to destroy this dirty world, all your bullshit»

— Murat Uz
