Fight Like an Animal: Revolutionary Biology in Defense of Life

Fight Like an Animal: Revolutionary Biology in Defense of Life is a book by Arnold Schroder, published in 2026 by **Severed Branches Press**.

It synthesizes evolutionary biology, behavioral science, and political theory to explore paths toward ecological survival and effective resistance. Schroder critiques the nature-nurture binary underlying much of modern politics (from anarchism to fascism) and introduces concepts like political personality, individual differences, and the integration of different forms of power—cultural, coercive, and technical.

Drawing from decades of radical environmental activism, direct action, and scientific study, the book argues for a biologically grounded understanding of human behavior to better navigate crises, craft strategy, and transcend self-referential political narratives. It’s an earnest call to make sense of the world through embodied, integrative thinking.
