Chuck Munson (born 1965) is an American anarchist in Kansas City, Missouri who currently runs the Alternative Media Project, Infoshop.org (an anarchist website), and a weblog, "another blog is possible." He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting/Sculpture) from University of Kansas in 1988 and his Master of Arts in Library Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1990.
Munson was interviewed for The New York Times during the Republican Party political convention in New York City, published August 29, 2004. Comparing anarchism to other radical movements, Munson said,
... we are a lot more anti-government, anti-state. We say that because we think people should have control of their lives at the individual and community level, a sort of radical participatory democracy." Asked about violence he replied, "I subscribe to a diversity of tactics, so I don't disavow violence. But I like to see nonviolence as much as possible."
Activism
Munson is active on many issues, ranging from media activism to prisoner rights to anti-globalization. He got his start as an activist at the University of Kansas (Lawrence) in the mid-1980s, helping organize protests against apartheid in South Africa and U.S. government intervention in Central America. At one point he was the president of the K.U. Committee on South Africa.
He has been involved with other anarchists in the anti-globalization movement. In 2000, he helped organize the follow-up protests in Washington, DC against the World Bank and IMF meetings ("A16"). In 2001, he helped found the Anti-Capitalist Convergence-DC, which organized protests against the World Bank and IMF in September 2001. Munson is active in the Indymedia movement, having been involved with the Global Indymedia website; Washington, D.C. IMC; and the current Indymedia project in Kansas City.
He was a co-founder of the Mutualaid.org ISP.
He is involved as an activist in the library profession on issues such as intellectual freedom, alternative media, and censorship. In 2004 he was one of the founders of the Radical Reference project.
Publications
He has edited or published several zines and magazines, including Praxis (Lawrence, Kansas, 1980s), The Gentle Anarchist (Lawrence, Kansas, 1986-88), The Journal of Disjunctive Librarianship (Madison, Wisc., 1990), Practical Anarchy (1991-present), and Alternative Press Review (1997-2002). In 1992, he co-founded the Spunk Library along with Mikael Cardell, Jack Jansen, and Ian Heavens. The Spunk Library is an online collection of anarchist and alternative texts, and one of the first digital archives of any kind. In 1992 Munson, along with Cardell, started Practical Anarchy Online, which was one of the first e-zines during its brief existence.
