Dedicated to knowledge, art, gathering, dialog, compassion, creativity and collaboration in order to address the necessary questions for solving the problems of life, big and small, alongside the cultivation of anarchist settings, the refining of anarchist solutions, the clarification of anarchist perspective.
free interest (name pending) is working to put forward a baseline template in pursuit of a new Synthesis anarchism that informs a coherent, friendly, pluralist anarchy in our immediate lives as well as in the shared life we look to make freely.
Synthesis anarchism historically refers to a theory of anarchist collaboration whereby different groups of different anarchist tendencies are welcomed into one basis of a united anarchist pursuit as enumerated largely by Voline.
The development of synthesis anarchist collaboration has taken into account schools of thought of the syndicalist and collectivist anarchists, historically in conflict with individualist and some communist anarchists, the condition of their traditions today in 202X notwithstanding.
Although the syndicalist and the collectivist anarchists are not what they once were a hundred years ago, and although there may be disagreements with the function and stated aims of the these old programs applied in the labor landscape of today, it must serve as the planting of a stake for the principle of a pluralist engagement over the problems and practices of solutions that include the wellness of the lives of billions. It is for this reason that we look to develop the synthesis method further into our near futures.)
We intend to foster the confident grace of laying passionate individual chisels upon the serene marker where human beings assumed responsibility in responsible, organic, self-regulating agreements
Hoping to provide accessible entries (in the forms of anarchic classes, workshops, etc.,) with texts and any other media, spirited discussion, joyful self-creation of shared space, skill-sharing, adaptive frames of autonomy, lurching out and accomplishing the impossible

I am not an enemy of organization: but I do not want anyone to make a cage of it.
— Voline, 1924
As anarchists, we do not champion parties, membership or gradualism. These belong to those whom we are not. Each anarchist has their own uniques considerations of immediate needs versus wider visions; none can soundly be expected to suddenly make all of the material functions of this world reflect the yearning for beauty and contentment directly out from starvation and terror with no tatter of nourishment or design beforehand.
What remains unshakable is the commitment to the enumeration of the critical reasoning in advocacy of living one’s life and making use of one’s life toward joy and transformation as one and the same.
This is an association based on friendship, affinity, participation and the securing of trust in oneself as in each other. This association, as it stands currently under construction, is merely a single-digit number of friends residing on stolen land in the Eastern and Central time zones of Turtle Island (so-called United States) who share a passionate design for a receptacle for what transformative ambitions of agency and reciprocity

Every home or domicile is an anarchic setting: as is every dinner table, every network of friends and loved ones, ;;

Every spontaneous initiative is a solution: as is every meeting with those freely designing the resolution of challenges, ;;

Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals.
— Lucy Parsons, The Principles of Anarchism
I want to live. To live means to appreciate life. Individually. That’s the only reason I feel myself to live by means of my senses. Through them: through my brain, my eyes, my hands, I conceive of the exterior world. I only feel myself to live physically, materially. The grey matter that fills my skull is material. My muscles, my nerves, my veins, my flesh are material. Joy and pain, emotions, sensual, olfactory, tasted, mental pleasures, either augment or restrict the functioning of my essential organs. There is nothing in all of this that is not actual, natural, tangible, even measurable.
I have no other ideal besides the full physical and material enjoyment of life. I do not classify pleasures as superior or inferior, good or bad, useful or harmful, favorable or inconvenient. The ones that make me love life more are useful. The ones that make me hate it or depreciate it are harmful. Favorable are the enjoyments that make me feel like I’m living more fully, unfavorable those that contribute to the shrinking of my feeling of being alive.
I feel myself to be a slave as long as I consent to others judging my passions. Not because I’m not really passionate, but because I want to flesh out my passions and impassion my flesh.
— Émile Armand, 1956, “To Enjoy Physically”, Anarchist Individualism and Amorous Comradeship
