Osvaldo Escribano (1939–2025)

From Anarchistická federace

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 also part of the cooperative movement and the peasant movement, and became one of the founders of a federation of housing cooperatives. 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.

News about anarchist political prisoners in Belarus, August-September 2025

From Anarchist Black Cross Belarus

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.

Forcibly mobilised and then killed by drone: the murderous logic of war in practice

from antimilitarismus
There is not much written about the equally horrific massacres of Ukrainian deserters. One thing is certain, however. The combat capability of both armies is partly based on violent mobilization and torture techniques designed to discourage desertion and force even those who do not want to go to the front to do so. While thousands of soldiers are trying to desert, others are being sent to the front against their will, hoping to live to see another day. That is, unless a “suicide” drone armed with explosives happens to fly into their heads. On the internet, we can see videos of such drones belonging to the Ukrainian army massacring Russian soldiers on motorcycles, in trenches, on roads, in forests, plains, and elsewhere. (2)

Book Review: Every Day Is A Good Day, by Robert Shea

From Overweening Generalist

Blessed are the fanatical devotees of minor writers (hey, I’ve been here), for they ensure the unduly neglected don’t fall through the cracks and down the memory holes. Let us sing the praises of the intellectual free thinkers, the anonymous erudites, those toiling researchers who in their spare time seek out obscure periodicals, ephemera and texts, use archives, and remind the reading public: here was someone we ought not forget. Let us at least keep considering their work for now.

Terminally Online

One goal for this series was to describe key developments in English-speaking anarchist thought as it resurged after World War II. Originally, the plan was to choose an anarchist who represented a recognizable tradition and demonstrate how they were informed by the thinking around them to prompt discussion. What we created instead was less tradition-centered and more history-centered.
