Modern anarchist movements have existed for over 150 years. The
black flag of anarchy remains a symbol of political rebellion,
particularly for restless or disenchanted young people. However,
Keith Preston argues in this volume that anarchism has reached a
crossroads as a political philosophy. He criticizes many
contemporary anarchists as anachronistic, shallow, or even status
quo in their thinking. It is Preston's contention that anarchist
movements will have to grow intellectually and forge new strategic
paths for themselves if they are to become politically relevant in
the twenty-first century. Preston offers a substantive critique of
not only his fellow anarchists, but of the condition of Western
civilization itself. He recognizes the process of unprecedented
centralization of political and economic power that is now taking
place on a global scale. Preston's response is an unhesitating call
for revolutionary action against this emerging global order. He
likewise offers a critique of the inadequacies of the both the Left
and Right and suggests this archaic model of the political spectrum
should be discarded. It is Keith Preston's contention that
anarchism should reclaim the position it held over a century ago,
that of the premiere revolutionary movement throughout the world.
Preston introduces his visionary tactic of "pan-secessionism" as a
means of developing mutual cooperation between resistance movements
with widely varying cultural and ideological values. Drawing upon
an eclectic array of philosophical and historical currents, Keith
Preston offers a revolutionary political vision of decentralized
pluralism manifested as a world of self-managed communities.
