What Kind of Anarchism Survives the 20th Century?

Continuing on from https://anarchistnews.org/content/new-column-anarchism-21st-century

In a steel mill outside Newark, a man loses three fingers when a safety valve fails. He’s sent home with half pay and a fresh union pin. In Detroit, a worker in the paint shop organizes with younger comrades—until he’s reassigned to janitorial overnight. In Chicago, a union vote passes, but the women on the line get little in return.

The Salish Sea Anarcha Network

From liberté ouvrière

Over the past year there has been something of a revival of anarcho-syndicalist theory and practice in so-called Canada... Closer to home, for me, has been the formation of the Salish Sea Anarcha Network (SSAN), which has brought together syndicalists across unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh (which make up the city of Vancouver); Katzie, Kwantlen and Semiahma (Surrey); and the Kwikwetlem Nations (Coquitlam) — which together make up so-called Metro Vancouver — with connections on Vancouver Island.

Anarchist Alexander Snezhkov has been in hole for over 58 days

From avtonom

Disturbing news continues to come from Penal Colony No. 10 (IK-10) in Krasnokamensk, Zabaykalsky Krai, where one of the defendants in the “Chita anarchists’ case,” Alexander Snezhkov, is imprisoned. Since the third decade of February and up until today—over 58 days now—he has been held in hole (SHIZO, a punitive isolation ward). And this is not the limit, as the colony staff have reportedly told him. According to them, Alexander is “a very interesting character and not the kind of person he wants to appear to be.” Apparently, Sasha is not destined to be just an average person quietly serving his time.

Notes on New Anarchy – A talk by CCF, Spyros Mandylas, and Cell of Chaotic Strike (2013)

The following interviews were given by Spyros Mandylas and Christos Tsakalos (CCF) on events organized by anarchist collectives (mentioned above each interview) and on self-organized anarchist radio 105FM. In addition, a brochure of Cell of Chaotic Strike accompanies the collected speaches. Some parts within the text might sound repetive, exactly because there were similar questions on different interviews. The point of this article, was to collect most of them (if not all), in order to give a clear picture of what New Anarchy is.

Regarding the Statement by the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair Collective

From Constellation

In March 2024, when the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair Collective (MABC) announced the cancellation of that year’s bookfair, a group of local anarchists got together to make sure it happened anyway. We launched Constellation, a weekend-long anarchist festival that would include a one-day bookfair. The initiative was well received and we decided to do it again in 2025, this time extending the festival to a week. A few days ago, the MABC released a statement declaring their return. You can find it on their Mastodon and Facebook pages. It specifically mentions Constellation (although not by name) and we thought it would be useful to offer our insight on some of the points raised within.

Zine: Freeing Assata

From never sleep

Making this zine started for me as a vague desire to know how Assata Shakur escaped from prison. I had enjoyed reading her autobiography “Assata” and I was left wanting to know more. One chapter ends with her declaring that she was done with being locked up, and the next begins with her living in Cuba if I remember correctly. I mostly moved on, focusing on other things. More recently a friend mentioned that they had heard of a book about the Shakur family that went into the details of the liberation.

Why Trump’s 2025 USA Is Not Fascist: An Anarcho-Communist Analysis

From The Polar Bl@st

In 2025, as Donald Trump re-enters the White House, a familiar discourse reignites across left-leaning and liberal spaces: “Trump is a fascist.” For many, especially in the mainstream, it’s an emotionally satisfying shorthand for what they experience as authoritarian, cruel, and dangerous leadership. And to be fair, much of what the Trump regime has done—both in the past and now in its return—has been undeniably authoritarian and reactionary.
