The goal of anarchistnews.org is to provide a non-sectarian source for news about and of concern to anarchists. It is also to provide a location for community moderated discussion about such news.

Due to circumstances beyond my control I have been MIA the past few weeks. I want to take this opportunity to thank the people who have stepped up and helped with the site while I have been out. Since I am still out I will keep this brief.

1) The July ATubes is out

2) We are still in need of donations for the next quarter of server operations. You can donate via Paypal (see lower left hand block) OR you can donate through Little Black Cart.

Thanks for your consideration.

Fox: Extreme Left Calling People to Arms
by Glenn Beck

While the government warns that right-wing extremists could be domestic terrorists, and The New York Times, says I could incite those crazy conservatives to violence, the extreme left is actively calling for violence!

They maintain that only a dictatorship -- their dictatorship, of course -- can create the will of the people, while our answer to this is: No dictatorship can have any other aim but that of self-perpetuation, and it can beget only slavery in the people tolerating it; freedom can be created only by freedom, that is, by a universal rebellion on the part of the people and free organization of the toiling masses from the bottom up.
-Mikhail Bakunin

Anyone seeking to participate in, or make a contribution of time or resources to Pittsburgh's efforts to oppose the machinations and the very presence of the upcoming G-20 summit, should take care to ensure that they are in contact with the Pittsburgh G-20 Resistance Project, and not some opportunistic Stalinist front group. Like the G-20 itself, the unaccountable, authoritarian, New York City-based, Bail Out The People Movement (which is a front group for the International Action Center, which is a front group for the Worker's World Party) is making its own plans for late September, with little or no involvement or input from the people of Pittsburgh. Tellingly, the contacts listed on their website, neglect to include anyone in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Conference Mission Statement:

No doubt in the days since we last gathered together as APOC (Autonomous / Anarchist / Anti-Authoritarian People of Color), much has changed for each of us. We’ve each experienced new joys and grieves, up and downs. Across the vastness of this metropolitan wasteland, new bonds have been built, old bonds strengthened. In surviving, even thriving against the transgressions perpetrated by those who would see us torn apart, we’ve developed both as individuals and as a movement.

Still problems persist. Despite our best efforts, our most spirited resistance, we remain oppressed. Native land remains occupied, its people marginalized, their culture appropriated and left to die. Zionists, backed by other Western powers, continue their genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people. Gentrification continues to invade our neighborhoods.

We are inviting everyone to participate in monthly TDA festivities against our oppressors and "repressors." It happened in Guelph this month but who knows where things could heat up next time? Be creative; pick your days, times, targets and methods.

This month's Three Day Assault included:

***June 25th - Windows smashed out at Traxle Manufacturing (a Linamar company) and the rear end of City Hall hit with paint bombs; yes, we were wearing party hats.

***June 26th - Linamar Head office had windows smashed out and two Molotov cocktails thrown onto North and Southbound lanes of the Hanlon Expressway at Paisley Rd. while helium balloons were let off into the sky. Whoo!

***June 27th - TD bank machine on Scottsdale near Stone Rd. received a deposit of two Molotov cocktails but didn't ignite because we got excited and didn't let the wicks burn long enough. No weeny roast this month... But the point is that people went out intending to destroy the machine and its contents.

"Although I have read a lot, I have drunk even more. I have written much less than the majority of people who write, but I have drunk more than the majority of people who drink." -- Guy Debord, Panegyric (1989)

"Where's my mail? Who's fucking with my mail?" -- The Lone Ranger, in Lenny Bruce's posthumous film short, Thank You Mask Man (1968)

In the 20 years since Panegyric was published, it has come out that the renowned French acrobat Guy Debord wrote thousands of letters during his lifetime (1931-1994). On average, he seems to have written a letter every day for more than 40 years! Avoiding telephones -- not only because they could be bugged, but also because he found conversations on them to be intolerably impersonal -- Debord used letters (and postcards and telegrams) to organize all kinds of conferences, exhibitions, and interventions;

The Grievances

On September 24-25th, leaders from the 20 richest and most powerful economies of the world will assemble in Pittsburgh, PA to discuss how they can further entrench their power in the face of the most devastating global depression seen in the last 70 years. We will meet them there.

For most of you reading this text, the political grounds upon which we would oppose such a gathering are at this point common sense. Were we to make a laundry list of grievances, it would certainly not be a short one: the evictions, the food prices, the energy costs, the increase in racist and anti-immigrant attacks, the repression of social movements, the insane ecological collapse that industrial capitalism has spread out before us like a bright red carpet rolled out over the edge of a cliff.

The Solidarity Revolutionary Center and Radical Library is on the verge of closing. The library, which stays open through donations, is having trouble coming up with money to pay the rent and bills for its space at 13 E. 8th St.

The Solidarity Center is a library containing thousands of books on topics such as anarchism, environmentalism and different social movements. It is also a free community space available for hosting meetings or events, and discussing beliefs on social issues. A group of volunteers for Solidarity are trying to find other methods to solicit donations.

Shona Clarkson, volunteer coordinator, said that Solidarity used to function off of a generous donor base, but that donations had dropped off.

“We’re not a space that makes profit, so every month is a scramble,” Clarkson, St. Louis junior, said.

Regarding NEFAC-US, UCL and Solidarite

This January, in Boston, NEFAC's US section continued our progress toward our own reformation. We enacted a constitution and a new internal structure that were developed over the spring and summer of 2008. We dedicated time to analyze the situation we face, in which the capitalist class faces difficulty in propping up its rotting order, and proves itself willing to stretch and to take risks to do so. Most of the working class in the US remains on the defensive, but many in the social movements are also discovering openings to move things forward. NEFAC-US members compared our local experiences and discussed strategies to advance our socialist and libertarian vision in the context of this crisis. After a long period of introversion and local focus, we see these as important steps toward building a fresh, publicly active, class-struggle anarchist group rooted primarily in the northeastern United States.
