CURRENT MISSION

I dedicate myself to "forming the structure of the new society within the shell of the old", through the gradual emergence everywhere of autonomous non-hierarchical communities in oppostion to current systems of oppression.

ABOUT ME

My name is Christopher Morgan Wohlers.

I am a physics and environmental studies student at Pitzer College, one of the Claremont Colleges. I intend to conduct research in third generation photovoltaics in order to facilitate the decentralization of the energy system.

I am an environmental vegan. This doesn't make me as difficult to deal with as you might think. On the side, I am a freegan who eats quite a quantity of animal products out of dumpsters.

Sometimes I feel that I suffer from a critical lack of agency at my educational institution. Maybe I should drop out of school and hit the streets, organizing worker collectives for the IWW.

Current projects:
- Organizing workers at Pomona College
- Shutting down the Pomona City police checkpoints through direct action
- Restructuring Pitzer College student governance
- Saving the Bernard Field Station
- Power flirting

PHILOSOPHY

Dangerous.

I am an anarchist, an anarcho-communist. I am against the state, corporations and all earthly forms of authority, hierarchy and coercion. I am for relocalization, collectivization, consensus, revolutionary autonomous communities and long walks on the beach.

I attempt to guide myself with philosophy of Christian Anarchism (as in Leo Tolstoy, Dorothy Day, Ammon Hennacy, Henry David Thoreau, the Berrigan brothers, and all the cool kids), but I mostly fail at it.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with a backwoods libertarian family on my way to Seattle. Received a jar of the best honey I've ever had.

Led a school sponsored orientation trip for Pitzer College first years and had the whole group sleep over at a Couch Surfer's trampoline-resplendent house in Santa Barbara.

Had a professional tennis player try to fit in my dorm room for a week. I don't think I paid enough attention to him. All I could talk about was politics.

Музыка, кино и книги

Movies. What?

Music. I try to be as hipster as possible. Did you catch the last Mika Miko show at the Smell?

Books. I like words too. Where would I be without literacy? Probably in the White House if that's where my father was.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Pepper sprayed on the hood of Karl Rove's car?

Organizing the first Claremont naked bike ride?

Living at the Los Angeles Eco-Village?

Strip-dreidel!

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

Most of my skills are entirely conceptual. I can talk about physics! In really big words! I know a little bit about biointensive farming/gardening and like to think that I've got some dumpster diving skillz. Basic bike mechanics. I am prepared for any direct action or radical organizing that needs getting done.

I need to find people who can teach me how to become better at making bikes work.
