Talk:Evasion (book)

message: I edited the article a bit today, in hopes of bringing us one step closer to removing the "Written like an advertisement" tag. I added a sentence of information and fixed a couple spelling and grammar errors. Also, it appears that Crimethinc.com changed around their URL structure, and they were serving up a custom 404 page that made it so that it didn't register as a broken link! I fixed that, but all the original cited information is now on one page, so you may want to look at it again. Regards,

message: this book should not be titled under anarchist books,principles, or ideas. its just another zine made into a book by the well known publishing company crimethinc. it does not openly advocate any kind of revolution or ideologies. just one of the many numerous amounts of teenage kids, at that time, who felt it correct to write a zine about their traveling experiance.
: "Poverty, unemployment, homelessness - if you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!" There is no greater revolutionary anarchist principle than that. The silly Lumpenproletariat just need to change their point of view and the world will be a better place. @NrKiii!!!11
There is also speculation (which I find pretty valid) that this kid is Peter Young, who was arrested and convicted for several ALF raids on mink farms, so if you think it's just some teenager with no revolutionary principles, think again. The Ungovernable Force 04:21, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Anarchist?

message: There is an interview with the author online here. There was also an interview with him in the October 2001 issue of Book magazine. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brian951378246 (talk • contribs) 19:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  It should be mentioned that... 

message: This section is confusing. It really needs to be fixed and, because it is so poorly written, I can't do it myself because I don't understand what was trying to be said to begin with.
"Evasion indirectly catalogues the excesses of society by displaying, through the narrator's actions, how one can successfully (and to abundance) not only live, but excel off of the discarded remains and surplus of others"
All right. The phrase, "but excel off the discarded etc." is poor writing but at least comprehensible. It is this next part where it really gets bad. ".... Moreover, this is in addition to the narrator aptly procuring resources from within businesses, such as shoplifting CDs from stores (thereby not thoroughly relying on surplus.) In essence, the work is an implict testament to the waste of modern civilization. However, it is important to note the degree of racial, sexual, and class privilege that play into the author's experience."  Say what? I'll fix a few things (such as the "Moreover, this is in addition..." thing), but I can't fix the rest. 00:20, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Evasion cover.jpg

message: I had heard that there is evidence that Peter Daniel Young wrote the zine while on the run. (Lenerd (talk) 22:45, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peter Young 

message: I re-wrote the entire article from scratch, save for the opening paragraph. I also took the liberty of removing the advert tag. The only thing is, I'm not sure the block quote is in the best position. I want that quote in there somewhere, but we may have to change the position or formatting. Also, about that Peter Young stuff, I have some citable evidence that Evasion Mack and Peter Young are the same person, but someone in the know has told me it would not be the best idea to tell the world that, so I am not posting it at this time.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by SuperEditor (talk • contribs) 17:58, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Great work. I moved the quote into the themes section where I thought it fit more naturally. The political views of the book and the author are closely intertwined. 66.68.161.157 (talk) 20:46, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Evasion (book). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
*Attempted to fix sourcing for http://xevasionx.com/
*Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.rootsofcompassion.org/beta/zine/people/evasion.shtml
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).
