ABSTRACT

Insurrectionary anarchism has been on the forefront of direct, unmediated attacks on the state and capital. Insurrectionary praxis is based around ethics of informality, clandestinity and temporality. This chapter explores how the insurrectionary anarchist networks utilise the cell model, the communiqué and the adoptable moniker to allow for the creation of a globally dispersed, decentralised, open involvement movement united in its rejection of capitalism, the state and those who would seek to control it. Moreover, it explores where these individuals draw their inspiration from, and to what extent this praxis is informed by an awareness of non-anarchist and vanguardist insurrectionism.
