TOTW: Anarchism, Culture, and the Nation

A core principle of anarchism is rejection of nationalism. The view is derived from the principle that nationalism is a false ideology that divides the working classes or suppresses individual expression. But it is easier to levy critiques of dominant nations than oppressed ones. This question is not as irrelevant as many assume: it is dismissed as “it isn’t the 60s anymore” and “irrelevant for anarchists.” Palestine, Ireland, North American Land Back, Euskadi, and other movements for liberation continue. Palestine is obviously the most prominent and anarchists cannot afford to ignore it, whether from a revolutionary practice or a purely analytical perspective. But despite that, anarchists cannot just “go along” with the popular ideas of the times and must think for themselves. How can we engage in these struggles while also being honest about the logical outcome of nationalism, i.e. new states?

The voice of an anarchist who fled Ukraine to escape mobilization and war

From ANTIMILITARISTICKÁ INICIATIVA [ AMI ]

Mainstream media and even some “anarchist” or “radical left” media outlets bombard us with reports about soldiers on the front lines, but stubbornly refuse to listen to the voices of those who reject war and violent mobilization for war purposes. We take a different approach. We prefer to give space to the voices of those who fled the war rather than to hypocrites who describe the war as a liberation struggle.

I Couldn’t Think Any Less Of You (Than You Already Think Of Yourself)

Refusing The Great Resignation

I couldn’t think any less of you than you already think of yourself. I am not talking about your hyper-inflated superficial self-worth that comes from identities, entitlement, social currency, or proficiency in the endless meaningless tasks and expectations that make up the techo-post-modern nothingness. I am, quite contrarily, talking about the intrinsic value you place on your very life, your intimate connection to the organic processes around and through you, and the unique meaningfulness in co-creating it. You may confuse it all in some sort of boiled frog cyber-soup half-baked blissed-out glossy plasticity, but from this side of things, its pretty fuckin’ clear. The Great Resignation is here. I refuse. Do you?

Alexis Grigoropoulos — One of Us

From Bentley

Seventeen years have passed since the murder of the anarchist student Alexis Grigoropoulos in Exarcheia by the cops Korkoneas and Saraliotis, at the intersection of Messolonghi and Tzavella. The location, as well as what happened in the following hours and days, was not coincidental. Already before the bloody night of December 6, 2008, Exarcheia was a reference point for all those who wanted to question authority and the apparent omnipotence of the state and capital. The countless clashes with the forces of repression at the Polytechnic, the square, at Messolonghi Square and in every corner of the neighbourhood, the squats, and all the social and class struggles that took place in Exarcheia together composed a mosaic of resistance and social anti-violence against the voracious engine of power that wants to destroy every dream and desire of those below. Thus, Alexis, a 15-year-old anarchist comrade, from a very young age sought the path of resistance in the narrow streets of Exarcheia, rejecting forever the path of inaction and passivity. Exarcheia generously gave him the stones, the bottles and the tools to do his part in the social and class war and to fight alongside the oppressed. And in this role he was murdered, as a fighter who already from his very young years had chosen the side of history that demands a world of equality, solidarity, the realm of societal revolution and anarchy.

Wrapping up COP30: A CCLA Assessment

From Centro de Cultura Libertária Amazônia

A few days ago, the UN summit on climate change and solutions to address the problems generated by the acceleration of these changes ended with a "minimal agreement" far short of the expectations of even the most pessimistic observers. In fact, as anarchists and libertarians, we couldn't, even before it began, expect much from a meeting that, over the years, has failed to curb capitalist greed in the slightest...

Back to Basics: 325 and the Renewed Critique of Technological Civilisation

From Global Network on Extremism and Technology by Mauro Lubrano

This Insight examines the return of 325, an insurrectionary anarchist zine, and the renewed prominence of anti-technology positions in its 13th issue, titled “Back to Basics.” This 76-page-long document, originally released in March 2025 with the PDF online version circulating later in September, articulates a worldview that regards advanced technologies not as neutral tools but as a totalising system of domination, a “mega-machine” that both enslaves and alienates. This framing has increasingly tangible consequences as similar narratives appear in communiqués claiming attacks on technology-related infrastructure and supply chains. The current trajectory of insurrectionary anarchist anti-tech discourse and practice reflects a deeper unease with the accelerating pace of technological change that intersects with pre-existing anarchist, primitivist, and eco-extremist traditions.

On repression for the weekend, 14th–16th November 2025 in Hamburg

From Act for Freedom Now!

Last weekend, 14th–16th November 2025, anarchists from different countries met for the second time for an international exchange to analyze, debate, and develop anti-militarist struggles. Contributions in person, via video, and in writing from comrades in the UK, Greece, Israel/Palestine, Italy, France, Finland, and Germany were presented. As we can easily understand, the enemies of freedom and their dogs are surely not fond of an international moment like this. Besides surveillance around our meeting, we want to make one incident known:
