Black Zia Collective

About me:

Core Principles:

Abolishment Of The State And Capitalism

Both of these hierarchial relationships exist to funnel power and resources from the people to a few "select" people and institutions. The duty of all anarchists is to return the power to the people by any means neccesary.

Supporting Local Autonomy

All persons are able to choose, more wisely and and with more information, than some distant master.

Supporting Indigenous People Everywhere

All tribal and traditional lands MUST be immediately returned to the people who where making just use of the land before they were invaded, raped, murdered and finally marginalized and tucked away out of view.

Anti-Facist/Anti-Racist

Committed to confronting and fighting these scum. Anywhere, anytime. These groups may seem like simple minded fools, but they pose a clear and immediate threat. They will not go unchallenged.

Fighting Military and Economic Imerpialism

Where once military force was the main tool used to bring people into colonial situations; Where once empires grew and expanded at the end of a gun; today states and corporations use the power of capitalism to deny people access to resources, even their local resources. The militaries are called out to defend "National Interests", which in reality is corporate interests worldwide.

The Black Zia symbol is a cross of two symbols, the Zia Sun symbol and the Circle-A symbol that has become forever linked to Anarchy.

The Zia Sun Symbol
It consists of a circle, the sun, with four sets of rays emanating from it at right angles pointing to the four directions, north, south, east and west, and is hallowed to the Zias. They believe that the Giver of all good gifts uses the number four. There are four directions, four seasons, and four divisions of life, childhood, youth, manhood, and old age. The circle shape stands for everything bound together, the circle of life and love without beginning or end.

It promotes brotherhood among all things; it requires man to develop four aspects of his being, a strong body, purity of spirit, a clear mind and devotion to his tribe's welfare. This Pantheistic view means that nature, the Universe, and God are bound together and are one, God being more abstract than personal. It teaches the harmony of all things.

The Circle-A
The Circle-A is a monogram that consists of the capital letter "A" surrounded by the capital letter"O". The letter "A" is derived from the first letter of "anarchy" or "anarchism" in most European languages and is the same in both Latin and Cyrillic scripts. The "O" stands for order. Together they stand for "Anarchy is Order," the first part of a Proudhon quote.

Anarchism is a social, economic, and political movement which largely predates other currently existing radical leftist movements like Marxism for example. There are many different schools of Anarchist thought, mainly differing on either how an Anarchist society should specifically be organized or specifically how an Anarchist society can be reached. But organized or specifically how an Anarchist society can be reached. But, regardless of these differences, all legitimate branches of Anarchism share a common commitment to the following four basic principles: individual freedom, social and economic equality, free association, and mutual aid (i.e. cooperation and solidarity). All legitimate Anarchists essentially seek to create a classless, stateless society, free of oppression and exploitation, that is organized and held together by the four principles mentioned above.(i.e. cooperation and solidarity).

CAPITALISM

I condemn capitalism as the means of enslavement employed by the parasites. Those parasites are those that steal the property of the worker, by using the state to deny the worker equal access to the means of production; to deny the worker equal access to education; to deny the productive class equal access to healthcare; to deny the productive class access to what is rightfully the birthright of every creature on Earth.

I condemn the state as the exclusive tool of the parasitic capitalist. The state is any coercive agent with a monopoly on the use of force. Only through the threat of violence is the state able to maintain the class structure neccesary to insure its continued existence.

Every creatures birth right is the Earth and its resources. States claim a monopoly on land and resources and grant special privledges to their co-conspirators. This entitlement to land and resources is theft. Justly aquired "property" comes from mixing labor with unowned resources. These grants of entitlement allow the state and the thieves with the capital to receive grants and titles, to profit from property that they did not justly aquire. This allows the accumulation of stolen wealth by the few. Most of the world isn't rich, it is poor. If capitalism "floated the boat" we would see this wealth roughly-evenly distributed. Instead capitalists are able to accumlate this unjustly acquired property and dole it out as they see fit. While no alternative exists to aquire the means of production (land and resources), this is enslavement and it is enforced by the state on behalf of the parasitic capitalist class.
