Well, I suppose it had to be done. Someone needed to teach him a lesson for that Doctor Octopus mini.

eh, even for an area as liberal as the area i'm in, it's still pretty difficult to track down actual functional temples. i know lots of people who are fascinated by the idea of the gnostic temple/community and whatnot and want to go for the sake of prodding something. i only know few people with a genuine interest. so...i guess people don't think i'm crazy, they just think i'm a strange project to observe or summat. like a one woman cannibalistic tribe.
ps--nice favorite books section on the profile.

I started a occult group thing on the site any body want to join?
It's kinda funny that I started the group because I'm not to sure how real ANY OF IT IS . I used to study christianity and I even wanted to be a theologian and minister but things change when you look up from your books and look outside at the real...

For anarchy to succed or simply to advance towards its success it must be conceived not only as a lighthouse which illuminates and attracts, but as something possible and attainable, not in centuries to come, but in a relatively short time and without relying on miracles.
Now, we anarchists have much concerned ourselves with the ideal; we have criticised all the moral lies and institutions...

i think that anarchy is only truly successful in theory, but never in actual practice. when it is practiced it's most often a cliche.

Book Exchange: basically I submitted for approval of a group for it called "SG Book Exchange". How it will work is this: you gather up some books you want to let go and share with the other members. You post what you have avaiable, a brief description of the book, so on and so forth, whatever. If someone is interested, they contact you personally to exchange addresses and such. This makes it so you regulate your own info. If you want to post your address in a thread, it's up to you, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Anyway, yeah, there are alot of details to be worked out, so basically once/if it gets approved, those who join the group are going to help me iron out the kinks and together we'll lay some ground rules.

No pedagogy which is truly liberating can remain distinct from the oppressed by treating them as unfortunates and by presenting for their emulation models from among the oppressors. The oppressed must be their own example in the struggle for their redemption.

I am glad you didn't reference to one of the big two corporate leviathons. It bothers me to no end to see "radicals" and anti-corp progressives linking to those bastards. In short, good work.
You asked acheron for unrecognized anarchist thinkers. Judging by your interest in chaos, TAZ, and RAW, I would suggest William J. Murray. I can not find anything at all by or about him other than the following two books which makes me suspect he might be a pseudonym, possibly for RAW.
"Unconditional Freedom: Social Revolution Through Individual Empowerment" by William J. Murray
"Anarchic Harmony: The Spirituality of Social Disobedience" by William J. Murray with an intro by Robert Anton Wilson.
"What I found by turning my back on our society-generated mythology was so profound that I had to share it -- presumptuous or not-- because it indicts the social structures of mankind and demands social disobedience, or living according to our inner, heroic nature and not according to the intimidation and demands of society's ineffective ideology." Introduction by Robert Anton Wilson.
P.S. He is not to be confused with the right-wing Christian son of American atheist leader, Madalyn Murray O'Hair.

ergh. your question about anarchists is a tricky one.
quite frankly, the most obvious unrecognized anarchist, in my opinion, is james joyce. there are a couple of scholars attempting to explain this theory to people, but no truly successful work has been completed regarding james joyce as an anarchist. yes, he was a half-assed one, but it's clearly there, if you've read enough anarchist theory.
the only person i can think of whose role in historic anarchism is probably a tad underplayed is Ouida. Ouida was bizarre and overly-sentimental. but when you look at emma goldman's speeches, some of the structures are sooooo Ouida. and the over-the-top sentimentalism, i'd suggest, is taken straight from Ouida. and believe me, if you read any Ouida, it will make you laugh, she's so ridiculous. but she was influencial to goldman. and as far as i can tell, she's incredibly hard to find any reference to in scholarly works unless you're prodding extensively through french anarchism.
there are tons of russian anarchists who were involved in propaganda by deed ...i have one favorite who walked up to the bureaucrat responsible for a bunch of pogroms and shot him in the face (this being terribly fascinating because she was a fresh-faced 18-year-old girl who was innocent looking n stuff), but i'd have to dig through my research notes from last year and that would take a looooooong time. erm, i hope this helps you out some.

The officials draw their power from the law; the people, from the secret societies.
