anarcho-transhumanism, a branch of anarchism that is rarely heard. Apart from this ideology being arguably new, the lack of a massive movement of this ideology caused its name to sink among other anarchist movements that were more massive and evenly distributed.
Anarcho-transhumanism is the development of ideas from crypto-anarchism which was introduced in 1988 by Timothy C. May, who wanted freedom and anonymity in the world of technology which included currency, communication, and trade. Of course, this is based on the government's being who violates the privacy of its citizens in every way, making us feel insecure wherever we are because we are certainly being watched.
One of the other influencing movements is transhumanism, which actually has been around a lot longer than crypto-anarchism but has just been legalized as an active political movement with the party that carries this ideology. They want power over themselves, want independence is not limited even by nature. They want the legality of experimenting on the human body, manipulating the human body with tools (bioinformatics) to exceed the limits of human beings themselves. Initially, this ideology was supported even by adherents of crypto-anarchism, with the hope of being a vehicle with the same vision, independence of technology. But like other political movements, especially those with parties, power became their focus so that their idealist movements had begun to be covered by political interests full of interest, especially when transhumanists supported several projects started by big corporations in the field of technology, the fall of capitalism was sufficient. Instead of struggling to be independent with technology, they instead became a billboard running the technology capitalists in the form of parties, especially when their sponsor is the state security department for military research, where it has read its direction.
Under such conditions, the anti-capitalists in the body of transhumanism finally separated themselves, bringing with them the ideology of technological independence that they are still carrying and modifying, this ideology which is then known to us as anarcho-transhumanism.
Anarcho-transhumanism is like any other anarchism, fighting for the welfare of society with the concept of self-governed society that is mutually responsible to one another. It's just that they want maximum freedom that is accelerated and not half measures. Anarcho-transhumanism is an adaptive ideology, which cannot run alone, but rather becomes a supporter and complement to the ideology of other anarchism.
For example, in the view of anarcho-transhumanism when struggling over the struggle for the means of production, an independence does not stop only when the means of production are seized and a workplace becomes self-managed, because, for anarcho-transhumanism, it is not yet our independence if we are still users, there is still a gap for us used by capitalists and rulers because they still feel we need them. In what need? In knowledge. We seized a tool but we don't know how it works, we only have limited knowledge for operations and repairs, meaning we are still not fully independent. Therefore anarcho-transhumanism requires a total struggle over the means of production including knowledge of the means of production, so that those who have the capability can reproduce the tool or if it is too complex to be reproduced, knowledge of how the tool works will give those who have the opportunity capability can make automation of the tool so that no more human labour is used to operate the tool. Such conditions are considered "fully independent" by anarcho-transhumanism, we seize the means of production, we can make the means of production, we do not need to operate the means of production and are free from the shackles of work.
Automating the work of this tool will also eliminate the patriarchal culture that shackles at work, we cannot close our eyes that patriarchal culture is still rooted even at the level of the world of work where the role of workers is divided into gender, if the work has been made automatically, gender wants you to be organized. how to box? It's become stale like that because workers are already genderless (machines). Within the scope of more specific tools, the making of tools can also solve the issue of equality of rights. A small (but critical) example is, women and people with physical disabilities who (sorry) are often seen as weak and unable to work in several fields, can gain equality of their rights by contributing to the lines they are considered weak using assistive devices, this can be discussed with other communities to exchange knowledge.
>> So if we don't work, what do we do?
We focus on other lines of our community that have not been covered by machines, which are still manual so that they are still draining the members of the community. We can also start sharing with other anarchic communities who have the same problems as us, exchanging technology, exchanging knowledge. Anarcho-transhumanism requires rapid change with technology and knowledge as catalysts.
>> Closing (and expletives)
This is the dream of anarcho-transhumanism, total independence, beginning with the struggle for knowledge that is often hidden by capitalists in order to gain control of the market because of the limited resources they deliberately make. Anarcho-transhumanism strongly condemns the existence of personal intellectual property rights, all technologies belong to the common good, not to be covered up.
Not only the creators of the tools in your company are smart! Give us full information and we will prove that open knowledge learned together can make us equal to the creators of your tools! How long do you want the capitalists to feel that you are smart and we are only able to be users and repairmen?
How long will the technology be controlled by capitalists until even our brothers who cannot walk have to buy a wheelchair and mourn their fate? Seize the knowledge of how a wheelchair works, gather rattan craftsmen and welders, we can make it ourselves!
The patriarchal system says that only men and women are allowed to operate machines working in administrative affairs? The tools we make are automatic, the administrative software we make automatically, which we still make heavy tools so that all can operate. Do you want to make a fuss about gender matters? Please focus on helping others to become independent and equal in their rights.
We humans both have brains, by allowing technology and knowledge to be controlled by capitalists and especially those backed up by the government, they are just as saying that the only ones who have the brain to think are them, we don't. Don't want to just be a user, don't want to be enslaved to a machine, it's a machine that has to work for our independence and prosperity. Don't be afraid to be replaced by a machine if you don't obey, just when we know how the machine works, they won't dare to frighten us, because our knowledge is equal to the creator of the machine. Do not want to be watched by the government, we can not be seen with technology. We can solve all problems with the help of technology, don't want a monopoly on knowledge.
