Response Communiqué to Jane's Revenge

Over the weeks I have been reading your communiqués. You borrow phrases from a large number of authors, including the accelerationists.

I too believe in an accelerationism. The Malthusian pressure of the Baby Boom set footsteps on the moon, but the latter was canceled in favor of space shuttles and space stations, and the former was cancelled in favor of houses and cars. Burning and practicing your cursive is a way to generate a little instability here and there, but Malthus' pressure is a longer-lasting instability. It is a pressure which has long driven the Hutterites, so subversive that the statists tortured them at Fort Leavenworth. They keep setting up new colonies, each with its own autonomy, because the next generation won't be satisfied with mere grunt work.

Abortion is a coercive order imposed on the next generation. The liberty of birth is the mother of a sustained order of growth. Most anarchists read, quoted and admired today were born in a Malthusian crucible. Let the clinics be, and let the Roe effect return the Sixties again. The libs aren't your friends; the next generation could be. The libs didn't understand your borrowed phrases, but the next generation might learn. Let them grow up and learn how corporations tried to swallow them like Cronus, yet they broke free. No wonder the statists think Google will be willing to hide them in the shadows. Let each clinic be the future's incubator, and shine its light into the days to come.

Did you think prolifers would respond with violence? Those attacked by prolifers in years past weren't on the FBI's payroll. They went against individuals and small establishments, not the state. Too many people think some of you could be on the FBI's payroll. Like with other stings, they expect a fight with you would be a way to bring out the crazies so they can be rounded up at the end of the rageful night. You've created tension, yet climbing skyscrapers is easier than falling for the bait. Don't expect to be on the receiving end of direct action.

Lay down your cursive, and see the truth of this for yourself. Every successful movement has been repackaged and sold back to you. Why should abortion be any different than the rest? That you bought into the repackaging is understandable and explainable. Can a friend of Bo Brown understand the grief and anger of a life cut short? Will clinics forgive you for the days of damage? I wouldn't put it past them. Forgiving is what they do, practiced over decades of counseling. If they made a practice of hate, ideological reaction would have hardened them and kept them from reaching out to the many wounded.

I noticed that pregnancy center decoration time is over. I thought about why you chose to stop. Was it the testimony on July 12? LARPing is fun, but when a man with a machete shows up in Sacramento, things have gone too far.

Or rather than the testimony, maybe you were persuaded by other Madison anarchists? If so, vandalism would continue from the other groups.

Isn't it curious that each group stopped vandalizing pregnancy centers at once? Starting direct action can be coordinated, but ceasing it all at once is exceptional. This is uncharacteristic throughout anarchism. It implies discrete coordination beyond what groups made entirely of genuine anarchists are capable of.

Something from Occam's shaving kit told me what this implies: some have accepted statist money. Everyone who is an informant and is on the payroll keeps a line of communication with the State. So when the State decides that brakes are needed, someone hits a big red button, and all the informants are told to stop.

If you are an informant, use this as a clue to understand that others your group are likely also informants. With only a vertical rather than horizontal line of communication, you've thought that you were the only one. Now might be a good time to reach out and tell others in your group that are an informant. That might give the others the courage to disclose that they have been informants too. After all, every successful movement will be repackaged and sold back to you. Why should your group be immune to this risk?

If you are not an informant, this is a good time to find a new crowd to run with. Part of being an anarchist is escaping the tentacles of the State's control. You might look around, and see which disadvantaged groups are nearby; people hated by the state. People who wouldn't become an informant even if they really needed the money. Possibly they can reciprocate the genuine person-to-person relationships and exchanges which you sought in your anarchist group. Not all anarchism is found among those who claim the name anarchists.

Just because your handlers let you attack, doesn't mean you must, or even that you should. Efforts in the recent direct action were not a price paid for an idea, they were a price paid by someone doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Instead of accomplishing what you set out for, you diverted your energies, which could have been put towards something doable and worthwhile. It isn't possible to actually exert leverage on people who truly believe in their cause.
