Welcome! This is the latest version of the ANARCHY AND CHAOS website, which I started working on in 1998. The site had a history, which I will be glad to discuss with anyone, face-to-face. |
|
The development of this site was interrupted by a seven-year prison sentence due to a riot on June 18th, 1999, in Eugene, Oregon. You can read more about that International Day of Solidarity.
|
|
While incarcerated, I did a lot of writing. Some of the first drafts are archived at the Rob los Ricos site that a good friend and comrade put up for me.
|
|
Because of the circumstances of my arrest, I achieved international notoriety. After my release, I had to put a number of rumors to rest, and eventually got the story straightened out on my Wikipedia bio.
|
|
The original Anarchy and Chaos website was (mostly) preserved on the Internet Archive. How cool is that? Many of the links are dead, but a surprising number of them were archived as well.
|
|
Now that I'm working to update this site, I'll have a distinct blog, which I'll mostly use to archive articles I find of interest. Much of them will come from Myspace friends.
|
|
I'll mostly use the Myspace blog to inform folks about what I'm up to. I plan on writing zines, traveling and busking for the indefinite future. I'll also post things here for those of you who despise Rupert Murdock. |
| I hope we'll meet in my travels! Contact me via e-mail at roblosricos@riseup.net |

For the Barbarians You hear the slanders nearly every day: contemptuous denunciations of barbarous atrocities. Words meant to stir primal animosity towards some people. The association of the word "barbarian" and certain activities is reason enough to call into doubt the humanity of the perpetrators of these barbarous actions and suggest that they are demi-demons. The concentration camps of Nazi Germany - the use of biological warfare (small pox) against Native Americans - the deliberate starvation of millions of peasants by Stalin and Mao - the commercial hunting and trading of African Peoples - the dungeons and pyres of the Inquisition - the Crusades - the bombings of Guernica, Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Iraq, Yugoslavia - the creation of famine and pestilence by the World Bank and IMF - all acts of cruelest barbarity, right? No! All of these horrific crimes against humanity were carried out by civilized people IN THE NAME OF CIVILIZATION! Read the rest of the article. |

A lot of ya'll reading this probably don't know much about anarchy and anarchism, so you might have a lot of questions. Too bad this medium doesn't allow for back and forth discussion, because I'd love to answer your questions, but to give you an accurate account of anarchist history and theory would require a book or two. And a lot of that history and theory has been rendered obsolete by the current New World Order. The media tells us that the world changed forever on 9/11/01. The NWO was already functioning before then and had been in the process of being implemented for a century. But that, too, is another long story. What I want to do is let you know is where I stand as a Tejano working class political prisoner in a movement dominated by white middle class students and activists. Read the rest of the article. |

(Note: I gave a talk at the Longhaul Infoshop in Berkeley on Sept. 20, 2006. The following article was transcribed from that talk. It can be difficult to transcribe spoken words into written ones, since speaking is often spontaneous, whereas writing is usually much more deliberate. Thus, the transcriptionist spent a lot of time making certain that the words she wrote were consistent with what I spoke, while also keeping the reader up with the discussion. Since she did such a thorough job, and since I'm now transcribing this onto e-format for my blog, I'm going to go ahead and make any alterations I feel will further make this read in my voice, if you know what I mean. Wish me luck!)
