All these capitalists are whining about how their property rights are legitimate and are there for a good reason. I disagree with such a statement. The first property rights were established so that one person can have command over others just because they were in the area he claimed. That is collectivism, and this is another reason why I believe capitalism is standing on a collectivist base. They put forward a completely strawmanned and misunderstood notion of the commons, and claim that the commons create a tragedy. What the capitalists are really criticizing is state-owned property and I agree with them on that. All property owned by the state rots away. Secret services are the only services that the state can be efficient at.
When the state owns property and lets people use it, they project legitimacy onto the state; the people believe that the state will take care of everything and they abuse the resources. This does not happen and has never happened with true common ownership of the means of production. In the real commons, nobody has a claim over land. The people know that no one is managing the land. This will always result in a democratic or some other form of consensus decision-making progress, which will protect the resources from abuse.
The capitalists also claim that if I violate their rights of property then I forfeit all of my rights and they can do whatever they wish with me. So long as they cannot use me for their own selfish ends, I cannot walk on their claimed territory. The only way a capitalist can exclude people from property, and I do mean the only way, is if the capitalist uses a police force. Any police force, whether from the state or from the private sector is undoubtedly a statist organization. That police has a legitimate monopoly on the use of force over me, and if I attempt to defend myself, I do not have the right to, because I have 'forfeited' that right.
My response to this is that all rights are inalienable and at maximum you only forfeit the rights which you violate. If I violate your property rights then I forfeit only my property rights, and since I do not believe in property rights, I have no issue with that.
To get back on topic, that police now become a state. It is therefore concluded that private ownership of land can only be enforced in a statist manner, and is therefore incompatible with any form of anarchism, individualist and collectivist.
This does not mean that I am against workers owning the product of their labor or private ownership of houses. I see houses as objects to be owned and possessed using the principles in the manifesto. But I believe land and most means of production should always be held in common, regardless of how much labor was put forth to build them or improve them.
The World of Haud Auctoritas
Haud auctoritas literally means 'no authority'; from these words is born haudauctorism. A philosophy, no, an entire social structure that liberates the sovereign individual from any authority that can be imposed on them.
Just imagine living in a world, where no one can demand anything from you, where no one can deny you the things you need to live. A world where you and only you make decisions that affect you. A world without masters, rulers, gods, bosses, hierarchies, laws, social norms, religious dogmas and collectivist stupidities of all kinds.
They call this chaos, but is their society not chaotic as well? Their governments have actually increased crime and murder; they give the worst thugs money and power, leaving the everyday individual to fend for him/herself; but how can the individuals even fend for themselves, when all means of producing necessities are centralized at the hands of the thugs. This chaos is solely in the best interest of criminals and monsters. Our 'chaos' is in the best interest and is the will of the people.
You ask what is the meaning of our symbol? Why have we chosen it over any other? The symbol, if unknown to you is a snowdrop in a yellow-orange circle with a red outline and the words "Mos Publicus" written right under the snowdrop. The snowdrop signifies, in my country, the arrival of spring (warm life) and the end of winter (cold death). The orange I associate with utopian socialism and the dark red represents the blood that is shed by the ruling classes to drown our ideas. Mos Publicus means "will of the people"; it means that utopia and freedom is what the people want and have wanted.
The revolution's goals are clear to us now:
1. Abolition and rejection of the concept of land ownership
2. Abolition of money, capital and the state
3. Adoption of a moneyless, barter, trade and gift based economy
4. Decentralization of the means of production at the hands of everyone
5. Decentralization of the means of transportation, communication and all infrastructure in general at the hands of the masses under democratic management
6. Minimization of the need for markets
7. The rejection of all constitutions and social contracts not written in the presence of at least 80% of the population
8. The adoption of the right to voluntary associate/dissociate with any contract or constitution
9. The abolition of social norms, social roles, intersubjective consensus and all authority
10. Decentralization of the means of conflict at the hands of everyone
