TOTW: Saint Luigi

Topic of the Week - I am writing a review of John H. Richardson’s 2025 Luigi: The Making and the Meaning. The back cover is a mural of him, out of London, depicting him in saintly fashion. Larger than life, solemn face, and a golden halo circling his head. The back cover also includes a quote from the book: “For a growing group of Americans who seem to be vibrating with existential anxieties, he became a screen onto which they projected their fears and dreams.” For anyone with interest in the fields of psychology , sociology, and history as applied to religion, this is nothing new

Some contributions to anarchism from contemporary critical thought

From autonomies by Tomás Ibáñez

From the moment that political anarchism took its first steps in the second half of the 19th century, it has always been open to incorporating contributions from critical thought that were attuned to its own tenets and that were susceptible to nourish its theoretical and practical work.

The 20th century, which began as a revolutionary whirlwind, ended with a collapse of emancipatory ideas, from anarchism to socialism, which were “defeated” by a capitalism that would mutate and transform itself according to its needs.

A Statement of Solidarity and Refusal

We stand with those who took the streets of Sydney against the genocide in Palestine. We stand with those who refused the visit of a representative of a settler-colonial ethno-state. We stand with those met not by dialogue, but by pepper spray, intimidation, and police violence. For many, this repression came as a shock. In Australia, brutality is meant to happen elsewhere.

Call for submissions for first Montreal Anarchist Day of Critique, Response, etc

Call for submissions for the first Montreal Anarchist Day of Critique, Response, Analysis, and Provocation, which will happen during Constellations this year on Monday, May 18th.

This year's theme is technology.

Using tools and technics to extend the will is no novel concept, just ask the crow, but the tangle of a primate desire to hammer and the ever increasing number of nails is a fair bit more complicated than that of our avian fellows. Join us to dissect these desires, and discuss the various anarchist relationships to, or assessments of, technology.
