I’m fairly new to anti-capitalist philosophy and practices, but I’ve been following the “psychedelic renaissance” and the accompanying studies and literature for a couple of decades now. The last graphics in your article (Nation State vs Anarchist Ecological models) remind me of the brain network communication diagrams that were illustrated in a study on psilocybin (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsif.2014.0873 - scroll to section 6. Discussion for the one I’m talking about). But basically, the study showed that subjects’ default processing networks/pathways were expanded and compounded exponentially. Obviously in the case of psychedelics, that can be a net positive OR negative experience depending on mindset of the subject, the setting of the experience, and positive integration support.
But I found it interesting that the models resemble one another so closely, and because I have been helping people integrate psychedelic experiences (unofficially for over 25 years, and from a more trained/culturally aware/trauma informed perspective for a few years), seeing it illustrated this way really helped me understand how to begin to integrate more anarchic and community based principles into my work and life.
Hi, Ayesha. I’m Tina, from instagram as titigo57. I commented on the instagram version of this post, but I don’t think I asked it properly. So I wanted to clarify here.
In places like Europe, cultural/ethnic identity is very much intertwined with state/national identity (Danes/Denmark, Serbs/Serbia, etc). This has spawned fascism (both past and present), as well as anti-migrant groups who seek to “preserve and protect” their culture.
How would Europeans then come to embrace their cultural/ethnic identities (whether Swedish, Latvian, or Greek) in an anarchic society?
Andy fisher- radical ecopsychology. If you haven't heard of him already check out his lecture on youtube.
He's talking about we're discussing here.
