OU Students for a Stateless Society Building a new society in the shell of the old. Liberty, Equality, Solidarity "Why is our flag black? Black is a shade of negation. But black is also beautiful.

We meet every other Tuesday at 7:00 PM in the John Houchin Room of the Oklahoma Memorial Student Union. The black flag is the negation of all flags. It is a negation of nationhood which puts the human race against itself and denies the unity of all humankind. Black is a mood of anger and outrage at all the hideous crimes against humanity perpetrated in the name of allegiance to one state or anothe

r. It is anger and outrage at the insult to human intelligence implied in the pretenses, hypocrisies, and cheap chicaneries of governments. Black is also a color of mourning; the black flag which cancels out the nation also mourns its victims the countless millions murdered in wars, external and internal, to the greater glory and stability of some bloody state. It mourns for those whose labor is robbed (taxed) to pay for the slaughter and oppression of other human beings. It mourns not only the death of the body but the crippling of the spirit under authoritarian and hierarchic systems; it mourns the millions of brain cells blacked out with never a chance to light up the world. It is a color of inconsolable grief. It is a color of determination, of resolve, of strength, a color by which all others are clarified and defined. Black is the mysterious surrounding of germination, of fertility, the breeding ground of new life which always evolves, renews, refreshes, and reproduces itself in darkness. The seed hidden in the earth, the strange journey of the s***m, the secret growth of the embryo in the womb all these the blackness surrounds and protects. So black is negation, is anger, is outrage, is mourning, is beauty, is hope, is the fostering and sheltering of new forms of human life and relationship on and with this earth. The black flag means all these things. We are proud to carry it, sorry we have to, and look forward to the day when such a symbol will no longer be necessary." -Howard Ehrlich

"The work of the anarchist is above all a work of critique. The anarchist goes, sowing revolt against that which oppresses, obstructs, opposes itself to the free expansion of the individual being. He agrees first to rid brains of preconceived ideas, to put at liberty temperaments enchained by fear, to give rise to mindsets free from popular opinion and social conventions; it is thus that the anarchist will push all comers to make route with him to rebel practically against the determinism of the social environment, to affirm themselves individually, to sculpt his internal statue, to render themselves, as much as possible, independent of the moral, intellectual and economic environment. He will urge the ignorant to instruct himself, the nonchalant to react, the feeble to become strong, the bent to straighten. He will push the poorly endowed and less apt to pull from themselves all the resources possible and not to rely on others."

"[S]ince the beginning, criminal law has been tied to overtly authoritarian notions about sovereignty. For libertarians, who believe that sovereignty lies not with the king, nor with 'the people,' but with actual flesh and blood persons (i.e., with individuals), this makes criminal law unacceptable."

In the first post of this series, I gave some reasons why libertarians ought to reject the practice of punishment.

The audio on the recording is clear and crisp. The boy slurs his words slightly, but the sentiment is unmistakable.

Obviously, there are problems with the conflation here between electoral engagement / voting and actual political engagement. But I'm proud to see Oklahoma's place on this list.

OKLAHOMA CITY - While many Oklahomans are heading to the polls on Tuesday, experts say the number of voters has been declining over the past 50 years. According to WalletHub, 15 of the first 25 sta...

As the pain, suffering, and sheer cost incurred by the criminal justice system in America spirals further and further out of control, more and more people have come to push for reform.

A good list.

A good list.

With midterm elections taking place tomorrow, there is a lot of hype and pressure to get out and vote. While some feel that voting is an important civic duty, others argue against participating in, and thereby supporting, what they believe to be a corrupt system. Here are some arguments for and agai…
