The Black Zia Symbol

The Black Zia symbol is a cross of two symbols, the Zia Sun symbol and the Circle-A symbol that has become forever linked to Anarchy.

The Zia Sun Symbol

It consists of a circle, the sun, with four sets of rays emanating from it at right angles pointing to the four directions, north, south, east and west, and is hallowed to the Zias. They believe that the Giver of all good gifts uses the number four. There are four directions, four seasons, and four divisions of life, childhood, youth, manhood, and old age. The circle shape stands for everything bound together, the circle of life and love without beginning or end.

It promotes brotherhood among all things; it requires man to develop four aspects of his being, a strong body, purity of spirit, a clear mind and devotion to his tribe’s welfare. This Pantheistic view means that nature, the Universe, and God are bound together and are one, God being more abstract than personal. It teaches the harmony of all things.

The Circle-A

The Circle-A is a monogram that consists of the capital letter “A” surrounded by the capital letter”O”. The letter “A” is derived from the first letter of “anarchy” or “anarchism” in most European languages and is the same in both Latin and Cyrillic scripts. The “O” stands for order. Together they stand for “Anarchy is Order,” the first part of a Proudhon quote.

The Black Zia Collective

Core Principles:

Abolishment Of The State And Capitalism

Both of these hierarchial relationships exist to funnel power and resources from the people to a few “select” people and institutions. The duty of all anarchists is to return the power to the people by any means neccesary.

Supporting Local Autonomy

All persons are able to choose, more wisely and and with more information, than some distant master.

Supporting Indigenous People Everywhere

All tribal and traditional lands MUST be immediately returned to the people who where making just use of the land before they were invaded, raped, murdered and finally marginalized and tucked away out of view.

Anti-Facist/Anti-Racist

Committed to confronting and fighting these scum. Anywhere, anytime. These groups may seem like simple minded fools, but they pose a clear and immediate threat. They will not go unchallenged.

Fighting Military and Economic Imerpialism

Where once military force was the main tool used to bring people into colonial situations; Where once empires grew and expanded at the end of a gun; today states and corporations use the power of capitalism to deny people access to resources, even their local resources. The militaries are called out to defend “National Intersts”, which in reality is corporate interests worldwide.
