The Impact of International Socialism on Japanese Buddhism
Uchiyama Gudō’s background in Buddhism inspired his socialist beliefs; therefore, he understood socialism and anarchism not as departures from Buddhism, but as natural expressions of Buddhist egalitarianism. What he failed to grasp, however, were the conflicting natures of Buddhism’s inner liberation and anarchism’s outer revolution.

Four Boston police officers were injured in a confrontation near Boston Common with more than 200 protesters who the police said had refused to clear the roadway. Those arrested ranged in age from 19 to 28 and included students from at least two area colleges. All were to be charged with inciting a riot, a felony charge that is also known as “promotion of anarchy,” with origins in early 20th-century fears of anarchist violence.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem set expectations high in July... she had promised swift legal action against “anarchists” and “Antifa-affiliated groups” who allegedly circulated the names, pictures and addresses of ICE officers in the city.

He was born in 1939. At the age of 18, he was drawn to anarchism, through the anarchist club of the José Ingenieros People's Library. In the 1960s, he became involved in student revolts.

He was a member of the Comunidade do Sul do Uruguai (Community of Southern Uruguay), an experiment in free living in which he practiced his ideas for years, until his exile in Argentina in 1974.

From Kairos
To explore the work of author and social theorist Colin Ward, we're holding a day-long festival of anarchic thinking, strategising and making. Through short talks, discussions and workshops, we’ll consider how his pragmatic anarchism could help us create alternative spaces in the city, and build infrastructures of mutual aid, autonomy and resistance.
From Substack by Prince Shakur | The Dugout
In this in-depth conversation with revolutionary organizer Ashanti Alston, former member of the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army, we trace a life committed to struggle, freedom, and community. From his early experiences during the Civil Rights era and the 1967 Plainfield Rebellion to his radicalization through Black Power and anti-imperialist movements, Ashanti reflects on the lessons, tensions, and commitments that defined a generation of liberation fighters.

In August, Ihar Alinevich completed his three-year prison sentence and was transferred to a colony. The so-called court considered Siarhei Ramanau’s appeal against his sentence under Article 411 and rejected it, adding an additional 1.5 years to his sentence. Thus, Siarhei’s total sentence is 24 years and 5 months. On September 14, he was transferred to the IK-9 colony in Horki.
