What I just cannot understand, or at least it is not so clear to me, is what do these gentlemen think they are doing with us? The anarchists, regardless of our imprisoned status, will continue to document, to print leaflets and newspapers. And even when they are forced to flee, they will do so in the shadows.

If you’ve been to many of the anarchist bookfairs in the UK you’ll probably recognise Peter Good: always a smile, always a bow tie, plus sweets (though I think one year it was home made wine?) for anyone who wanted to chat.

From Rebelion dot org by Diego Naim Saiegh

In the following paper, we will investigate certain implications that are currently being exhibited when it comes to carrying out processes of autonomous popular construction - with emphasis on those whose political and methodological perspectives can be inscribed within a libertarian socialist matrix - in a historical context marked by structural unemployment, the growth of poverty and, in general terms, the precariousness of life as a social form.
