We close the door: Publicación Refractario ends

viva!

From Dark Nights, Chile

After more than a decade, the publication Refractario comes to an end, and with it we close the door to this project.

We have delayed these final words and the necessary closure of this project, thinking about resuming it or giving it new formats, but it is imperative to leave some words next to the door before closing. A project built with so much effort and affection deserves a decent closure.

Report From Our ‘Turning the Tide’ Study Series in Boston

Turning the Tide? Does this mean BRRN is going to destroy the moon? NOT COOL!

From Black Rose Anarchist Federation

Through the Fall and Winter of 2023, the Boston Local of Black Rose/Rosa Negra (BRRN) hosted a four-part discussion series on our program: Turning the Tide. The first collective effort of the newly reconstituted Boston Local, the discussion series brought 15 to 25 people to each of the meetings, with 40 or more individuals participating over the life of the series. Our goals, according to Local member Matt Tracy, were to “build connections with strangers and organizers surrounding our shared political questions, thoughts, and goals – and also try to come to a higher level of thinking and reflection regarding the program itself.” The series resulted in dozens of potential members interested in joining the Federation, a network of anarchist militants forming around us, and new local sectoral organizing projects.

Or Just Say Nothing

A Response to CrimethInc.'s Initial Statement on Aaron Bushnell

Aaron Bushnell, before self-immolating in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., sent notice to a few radical platforms including CrimethInc. (henceforth: the Outlet) informing them of his decision to commit "an extreme act of protest" against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. He asked simply that they preserve the footage of his action and report on it. Most complied, but in the face of such a humble request, the Outlet was confused: "All afternoon, while other journalists were breaking the news, we discussed how we should speak about this. Some subjects are too complex to address in a hasty social media post." It's telling that they self-identify as journalists.

Malatesta’s Revolutionary Anarchism in British Exile

Review of The Armed Strike: The Long London Exile of 1900—13.  The Complete Works of Errico Malatesta.  Vol. V. (2023). by Wayne Price

The Italian Errico Malatesta (1853—1932) was a comrade and friend of Michael Bakunin and Peter Kropotkin. Calling himself an anarchist-socialist, he was respected and loved by large numbers of anarchists and workers, in Italy and other countries. He was closely watched by the police forces of several nations. He had escaped imprisonment in Italy and lived in various countries in Europe, the Middle East, the U.S.A., and Latin America. Four times he spent time in Britain. This volume has collected works from his longest stay there, from 1900 to 1913, from when he was 48 to 61.

n°1 – FINAL

From ediciones inéditas

This small magazine is the product of the desire to create something beyond just text, the way anarchist magazines of the past often did. To bring together humor, wit, analysis and powerful images (or at least attempt to). This is not to further market the image of rebellion, since nothing is for sale here, but to join in on the proliferation of a visually antagonistic radical culture that speaks to place, history and culture here in occupied Tongva territory, city of Los Angeles (just don’t call this Art.).
