The majority of Insurgent American is free to the public. This medium, the internet, is more conducive to sharing than enclosure. We are not building a capitalist enterprise. We do, however, hope that we can become self-supporting. It’s different.
In our own lives, we began as a single cell division, a germinal core. Over time, if this site responds to an organic need among enough people, we will further expand, and differentiate, just like an embryo, then a fetus, then a child. Subscriptions are partially a value-for-value exchange; but we will work to incorporate our subscribers into the larger development of IA’s body. We need subscriptions to nourish this work; and we hope the principle motivation for subscribers will be to support that nourishment.
IA has a free section with Title-17 news clippings related to the primary subjects covered by IA, and essays by the first content provider, then others, and examples of past in-depth analysis.
The free section includes the serialized versions of The Insurgent’s Handbook, Sex & War, and the pedagogical section entitled Intellectual Hardball.
Subscriber’s will pay $10 a month (34 cents a day), which once begun is deducted automatically each month until the subscirber decides to stop it. For that 34 cents-a day, subscribers will get :
a. access to discussion forms,
b. one link to any ad, personal web site or blog (in the free section, so the public can see it… we reserve the right to reject ads that are counter to our core values, and will refund subscriptions if this is a deal-breaker),
c. one pdf copy of Stan Goff’s book “Energy War - Exterminism for the 21st Century” at no additional charge,
3. A unique space where feminists, deracinated leftists, peak-oilers, anarcho-kids, intentional communities, permaculture advocates, oppressed nationalities, the religious left, organic gardeners, radical veterans, environmental justice advocates, academic and feral scholars, social justice advocates, and anyone else, can come together to share and refine analysis in an aggressively non-sectarian environment, and above all to share practical experience for the collective purpose of establishing independent oases — from commune to urban neighborhood to suburb — for the express purpose of discovering and grounding a new form of political resistance based on graduated independence… with each oasis reflecting particular local conditions.
