Leon Avernicus's “The Anarchist Manifesto” offers an extreme antidote to state power, capitalism, and institutional control by claiming that these very systems can only act to the detriment of individual autonomy (“the Unique”). Those refusing collective revolution are impelled by Avernicus to personal insurrection, however violent or pacifist; a messy affair of scrapping all hierarchies that constitute oppression. The manifesto analyzes capitalism as a revised feudalism that makes the elites richer at the expense of individuality; condemns police as enforcers of state subjugation; and exposes how institutions manufacture false identities (“pseudo-self”) to concoct viable means of conformity. In place of coercive structures, the manifesto envisions voluntary “Unions of Egoists”: leaderless, interest-based associations prone toward self-determination. In the end, Avernicus calls for anarchists, communists, and individualists to stand united in the unconditional and perpetual challenge against the state.
