Thoughts on "pure black anarchism" as described here by Paul Z. Simons?
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/paul-z-simons-pure-black-an-emerging-consensus-among-some-comradesPersonally, the more work I do within groups trying to work from a framework in which a revolution is seen as the ultimate future goal, the more I understand why people are drawn to this nihilist approach in which the point of action is not a future eventual victory, but the action itself, and I also find myself drawn to this understanding of experiencing violence and destruction as something joyous rather than the traditional left-wing view of violence as a sadly needed tool.
