Crimethinc is a decentralized network pledged to anonymous collective action.
And yet despite the “anonymous” nature of the organization, every person leaves traces wherever they’ve gone – all those more so in this information age.
Crimethinc’s founder is Brian Dingledine, who I met for the first and only time at an anarchist convergence in Gainesville, Florida almost 20 years ago.
As his organization keeps coming up in my current research, I decided to give his M.A. thesis – title Nietzsche and Knowledge: A Study of Nietzsche’s Contribution to Philosophy as the Quest for Truth – a read.
I have to admit a certain level of disappointment in it. It was all academic formulations without any of the intoxicating rhetoric of Inside Front, Rolling Thunder, or the Crimethinc books. Not that I’m surprised, but I have to admit I was hoping for something more interesting.
Per the terms of my agreement with UNC I can’t share it should it have a niche interest for anyone else, but I will share the fact that it’s already been digitized so should you want to include the thesis of one of the most important American Anarchist organizers of the past 20 years in your own work to contact the UNC Library.
