Shifu: Can We Consider the Views of China’s Famous Anarchist ‘True’ Anarchy?

From Rethinking the World in East Asia 1850s-1990s

Born to an upper-class family as Liu Shaobin, Shifu (1884-1915) lived through the collapse of the Qing dynasty and converted to anarchism while studying in Japan. Known for his commitment to living anarchist principles, Shifu’s purist example and devotion to promoting the common good through his educational reforms influenced subsequent generations of Chinese anarchists, attracting others to the anarchist movement which reached its peak in the early 1920s. While Shifu’s early career mirrors other anarchists of the time in his support of assassination and revolution-driven violence, some argue that, because his later efforts depart somewhat and are marked by a renunciation of violence, he fell away from anarchy.

An Anarchist’s Conviction Offers a Grim Foreshadowing of Trump’s War on the ‘Left’

Dupuy, Rolf (1946-2025)

From Libcom by Nick Heath

A short account of the life of Rolf Dupuy, one of the founders of the French ORA and an important historian of anarchism. I was shocked to hear news of the death of Rolf Dupuy two days after his death. Rolf was one of the founders of the French ORA, and later animator of the Dictionnaire International des Militants Anarchistes, a huge online resource in the French language, on biographies of libertarian militants around the world. I had first met his acquaintance whilst attending congresses of the ORA in the 1970s. I communicated with him on and off, offering biographies, corrections, and additions over the last decade or so, and he solicited my own biography from me, which duly appeared online in 2010. As well as the Dictionnaire, he also was behind another online endeavour, Dictionnaire des guérilleros et résistants antifranquistes (Dictionary of Anti-Francoist guerillas and resisters), which he jointly initiated with Antonio Tellez Sola.

Update on the final week of the trial against Aldo and Lucas Hernández

From Dark Nights - Chile

The eleventh and final week of the trial against our comrades Aldo and Lucas came to an end. Following the closing arguments by the prosecution and the defense teams for both comrades, which were in response to the statements made by both sides in order to present their own theories, the prosecution was emphatic in pointing out the guilt of both defendants in the acts with which they were charged. Aldo was charged with crime No. 1, which corresponded to the attack on the National Gendarmerie Directorate, as well as crime No. 2, which was after the raids, for which he was charged with the items found in Loncura, Quintero, and crime No. 3, which involved Lucas and the items found at the La Victoria neighborhood residence, as noted in the previous update.

Defendants in the “Chaos Star” network case face up to 20 years in prison

From Montreal Counter-Information - Indonesia

After the mass revolts in August 2025, where a large section of the population rose up and attacked the state’s basic corruption and inequality, 44 anarchist comrades are imprisoned at the West Java paramilitary police compound in Bandung. There is no access for anyone but the families, and even this is minimal. The detainees have been cut off and they are being used in a mainstream media manipulation campaign by the Indonesian state. Many of the imprisoned comrades are very young.

From Dark Nights - Mexico

In recent weeks, Jorge Esquivel’s health has deteriorated due to a lack of adequate medical care.
