As much as I rolled my eyes at the recurring themes and images here, I was still continually sucked into it and kept picking it up. I don’t need to hear how the fictional office worker got liberated to encourage me. Yet, I read most articles here from beginning to end and keep reading more. Many of the contents are taken from other sources. The first issue of this “anarchist journal of dangerous living” includes articles on consent in sexual relationships and alternative conceptions of education, how to survive a police raid, fictional stories about doing grafitti, culinary advice, and testimonials from maniacs who squatted their own workplaces and set themselves on fire while fighting police… and more! Crimethinc is relevant to me as a social experiment in the punk community as well as offering new life options & doors to teenage suburban kids. I think these are their strong points. While there are scores of problematic areas in their literature, this is not a problem unique to Crimethinc. It’s not a bible. Don’t take everything away from it verbatim, just bits and pieces. Pick some ideas from it to apply to your own life.
