Off Topic: Call For Essays On Advertising Anarchism

I was checking out some posts from Adisa Banjoko on the warrior's art and it included an interview with UFC fighter Jeff "Snowman" Monson from an anarchist website.  Clicking through to check out the source, I found an announcement calling for essays on the topic of Advertising Anarchism.

The call for essays includes an important point:
By negating strategies of advertising, branding, and propaganda, anarchists and revolutionaries have often failed to successfully create winning campaigns in the marketplace of ideas. The sad result is that by waging poorly conceived campaigns, anti-authoritarians have defeated their visions before communicating them to the public at large. Without a viable communication and public relations strategy, anarchism has turned into an anachronism.

It sounds like an interesting project to follow, not just for anarchists like myself, but also for folks concerned with marketing social change and with marketing ideas that are difficult for others to hear.

On a personal note, one of my own roads not taken involved a variety of ideas to make anarchism more understandable to a broader base, including a game concept that could work at most levels of gaming from mobile phones to immersive environments based on protest and street fighting scenarios and notes for an anarchist cinema that would focus on fictional narratives of anarchist life.

If you're a renegade game designer interested in making money while spreading anarchy, hit me up:
