Illegalism is an anarchist philosophy which embraces criminality as a lifestyle. It's the second part of the renowned and enlightened charter: "Be Gay, Do Crime"

This is a place for exchanging tricks & experiences, discussing trends & events, sharing shitposts, and connecting criminality to theory & praxis.

Well put. The indigenous people in America were anything but "poor".

If we go a little further south and look at the Aztec, they were basically the wealthiest nation in the world at the time. Even by European standards. Reading primary sources from the first Europeans encountering them makes this really clear.

The US government not only redefined the indigenous people as poor, but fucked their material conditions to the point where redefinition was no longer necessary.
