The Crying of Lot 49, Group Read 2024

[David Morris]

I guess we need to examine the convergence of anarchy and violence.  I tend
to think that anarchy is nonviolent at its heart, because anarchy seems to
place individual choice as sacrosanct. But I suppose one might need to
consider violence as a means to carve out a space (GR’s “Zone”) to allow
for the possibility of anarchy.
