Anarchist Author John Zerzan Speaks In Support

|
John Zerzan, a well known anarchist writer and philosopher from Eugene,
Oregon, spoke at a benefit event for O'odham Rights and the Dry River
Anarchist Center in Tucson, Arizona, in December of 2011.
John Zerzan: "When you don’t have community, you don’t have solidarity,
you don’t have these ties that hold people together, social ties, then
anything can happen. And anything is happening. And then the Left wants
to talk about its legacy, and they don’t want to talk about de-Occupy, de-
Colonize. They have no interest in respecting the integrity of indigenous
cultures or lifeways or traditions, the very thing we need to be aware of and
that we need to stand together with. When the elders feel it appropriate to
speak to us, we need to respect that. We need to listen and we need to go
forward with that consciousness of what we can get from that. Where else
can we get it? What else is the legacy? I know what legacy I’d like to learn
from."
