Connecting anarchist struggles
From re-fuse 2024 dot org
The world is on fire. War and capitalism have been heading towards total collapse for decades while climate change is destroying the livelihood of millions of people. Although solutions are known, our current system stands in the way of a future of solidarity and a society that is oriented towards the needs of all, lets us live as equals among equals and puts an end to the overexploitation of the planet.
Colin Ward: Everyday Anarchy, the documentary
From Freedom News UK
Colin Ward was far from the stereotype of the black-masked, bomb-throwing anarchist, yet until his death in 2010, he was the foremost writer – and one of the greatest thinkers – of what remains a misunderstood philosophy, but one that has a profound relevance for us today.

I showed up to People’s Park a day after UC Berkeley had erected their 17-foot wall of shipping containers and deployed what must have been over 100 fully armed cops to stand guard on all of the perimeters. I was with some friends, all of whom happen to be skaters. Some were there for the amassing protest, while others were just stopping by 510 (a skate shop on telegraph) on their way home from work.

billboards, geo-fencing campaigns in search of ‘anarchists’ against training center
From Rough Draft Atlanta
Hundreds of billboards and digital marketing campaigns are now part of a national effort to arrest and convict violent “anarchists” suspected of attacks against the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, according to Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum.
Schierbaum said at a Wednesday morning press conference that more than 450 billboards will go up this week in Atlanta and other major cities including Miami, Nashville, and New York. The billboards will advertise rewards of up to $200,000 announced last month for information in finding arson suspects protesting the training center, also known as “Cop City.”
Towards an Australian Anarchist Federation
From Non State Actor
January 16, 2024
The aspiration for an anarchist federation in Australia is as old as the anarchist movement in Australia itself. Upon its formation in 1886, the Melbourne Anarchist Club announced its intention to “promote the formation of voluntary institutions similar to the Melbourne Anarchist Club throughout Victoria and the neighbouring colonies, and, with their consent, to eventually unite with them forming the Australasian Association of Anarchists.”1 David Andare, one of MAC’s founders, wrote enthusiastically of this prospect to the American individualist anarchist Benjamin Tucker, who received his correspondence with equal excitement. As early as 1888, however, divisions would appear within this young movement, with many moving away from the individualist anarchism espoused by Andare and Tucker in favour of the anarchist communism of Peter Kropotkin and Emma Goldman.2
