Civilization Will Eat Itself Some provocative writing critiquing civilization. It is very accessible avoiding academic and scientific criticisms. $1

Disgust of Daily Life By Kevin Tucker This essay attacks the tenets of civilized life, things that have been taken as 'necessary evils' or just passed off as individual problems.

It comes from a very personal angel and heads toward a feral revolution: Dealing with topics within the totality such as taboos on bodily functions, dying, and so on. "Outside of a few typos, 'Disgust' is perfect," says John Zerzan. "The style is a narrative-like trip through the consciousness of an individual. Very much in the Perlman tradition." - Green Anarchist 64-65 In addition to this zine we'll include two newer pieces of poetry ('Madness' and 'Collapse') by Kevin Tucker upon request for free. $1

"With Venomous Butterfly Publications, I am presenting publications intended to be used as tools in developing an anarchist insurrectionary project with the objective of the complete transformation of our existence. Thus nothing I offer is intended to be taken as a final answer, but rather as ideas to be wrestled with, debated and experimented in an attempt to realize liberation on all levels. It is necessary to question everything: all the institutions of society, the entirety of civilization, all of the historical practices of revolutionaries and anarchists and every word in every pamphlet...Such critical thought is necessary to hone our theoretical and practical tools." - From the introduction of the catalog. Highly Recommended.
