Peace News: Still for nonviolent anarchism

From Peace News, Issue: 2671: April - May 2024

From Dark Nights

On March 6th 2024, anarchists demonstrated outside Cardiff Probation Office to show their solidarity with Toby Shone as his parole pre-hearing meeting approaches.

8th ASN Conference: Anarchism in/with/as/beyond CONFLICT

From Anarchist Studies Network

Call for Papers

Is conflict a problem to solve, an awkward fact of life, or even a virtue to uphold? Are particular conflicts ‘good’ or ‘bad’? Is anarchism in conflict with itself? Does peace simply equate to an absence of conflict, or is it an ‘equilibrium’ of conflicting social forces? War, huh? What is it good for? ‘Absolutely nothin’!’ (Edwin Starr, 1970).

by Seymour Di Sobedience

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. Peter is the editor and printer of The Cunningham Amendment (named after forces slang for mixing everything behind the bar in a bucket). The final issue has arrived (vol.21, no.2 ‘Thursday 4th January 2024’) celebrating 50 years of publishing.

19th January, North UK

“Under the dark blanket of the night we broke into a caged chicken egg farm and took ten chickens away from the bars and into freedom. Thousands were left behind in a dystopian barn, imprisoned to produce profits for a farmer who sees them as nothing else but stock.

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.
