TOTW: "Learning your history"

This 1886 engraving was the most widely reproduced image of the Haymarket massacre. It shows Methodist pastor Samuel Fielden speaking, the bomb exploding, and the riot beginning simultaneously; in reality, Fielden had finished speaking before the explosion.

Every few years, it seems, a chain of events occurs that leads to an uptick in people calling themselves anarchists (surely still outdone by the number of people who stop calling themselves such). The remaining anarcho-curious (the few, the proud) finally take the plunge, hoist the black flag, download Signal, and assume their rightful pseudonym.

TOTW: Not anarchist

Topic of the Week: Not anarchist

Topic of the Week – Here at Anarchist News, we sometimes receive article submissions that are not anarchist, don’t mention the anarchist word, and come from more of a leftist space. Often, these texts mention related words like “radical,” “anti-authoritarian,” “anti-capitalist,” “anti-state,” and “antifa” or talk about subjects that are of interest to anarchists, but not specifically by or about anarchists.
