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:

Text by Anarchist Charisis Foivos and Z.K.

From Act for Freedom Now! - Athens, Greece

The purpose of this text is to inform the wider public about the stifling surveillance we have been subjected to by the “anti-terrorist” service over the last two months. However, it also serves as a clear warning that, one way or another, this blatant and intense violation of our personal lives and privacy will no longer be tolerated. Starting from the premise that in the public arena, priority should be given to fighters whose situation is far worse than ours, such as the dozens of political prisoners, the hundreds of persecuted men and women, the thousands beaten by the forced of repression, which in our country operate as gangs that leave battered people in their wake, we chose not to publicize our case until now.

A-Barrio: Evaluation Text from Berlin Assembly

From Anarchist Barrio

In the context of the Rheinmetall Entwaffnen (RME) antimilitarist action camp in Cologne 2025, an open assembly came together in Berlin to organise an Anarchist Barrio in the camp. After the camp, people from the Berlin assembly who participated in the A-Barrio discussed their perspectives and experiences of the camp at evaluation meetings. This following text aims to summarize those discussions but as well support them to go deeper.

Statement from Russian-speaking anarchists to Western anarchist initiatives: listen to the Ukrainian comrades!

This text is a collective statement of Russian-speaking anarchist collectives (see the list of signatories below). It should have been published even earlier, but now it’s really the time for a consolidated statement about the war in Ukraine. We do not claim to represent the stance of each and every anarchist from Russia, but the need for a clear position, and contradictions associated with the war in Ukraine lead to the necessity to act as a united movement.

Anarchist Political Prisoner Dimitris Chatzivasieliadis Solidarity Message For Prisoner Anan Yaeesh

from abolition media

On November 28 2025, the Palestinian activist Anan Yaeesh, who was a political prisoner in occupied Palestine, will be tried by the Italian state. He is accused, without evidence, of collaborating with the Tulkarm Brigades (West Bank), an organisation linked to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed group of Fateh that resists the occupation. The EU is fighting on the front lines of the Zionist occupation with all means at its disposal. Comrade Anan stated: “You want me to defend myself against the accusations against me, but I am ashamed to seek acquittal on charges that, for me, represent a source of honor. I do not want to defend myself against the accusation of having rights and having claimed them, or of having tried to liberate my people and my country from colonial oppression. I swear that I have no intention of being acquitted of the legitimate resistance against the Zionist occupation. The Palestinian resistance is one of the noblest phenomena known to history”.

Statement on the ban from the Anarchist Book Fair Amsterdam 2025 by OVS

From forumvooranarchisme

Initially, we had no intention of making a statement or writing about the circumstances surrounding the ban of our new organisation Organisatie v. Vrij Socialisme (OVS) from Anarchist Book Fair Amsterdam 2025. However, as people approached us for more information, we decided it would be helpful to offer some clarification for other anarchists close to us and to prevent misunderstanding.

The Feds Want to Make It Illegal to Even Possess an Anarchist Zine

From The Intercept by Seth Stern

Daniel Sanchez is facing federal charges for what free speech advocates say is a clear attack on the First Amendment.

Federal prosecutors have filed a new indictment in response to a July 4 noise demonstration outside the Prairieland ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, during which a police officer was shot.

TOTW: Wither Theory?

Topic of the Week - In my local anarchist scene, anarchist theory and tendencies aren’t often discussed. There’s the obvious anarchist positions against capitalism, Marxism, and bigotries. But beyond that? Not much to say about theory of change, discussing the varieties of anarchist ideas, or even discussing the “big names” of anarchy: Bakunin, Kropotkin, Malatesta, Goldman, Bookchin, Aragorn!, or Zerzan. In fact, after a recent meeting, it was suggested to avoid centering particular anarchist beliefs, ie, anything beyond “capitalism, fascism, stalinism, and bigotry are bad.” This is because a statement such as “Fuck [person or idea]” may be interpreted by new folks as fact and not opinion. This is no shade on my people, I appreciate them deeply and some private context at least makes it somewhat understandable.

A Call for International Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

From Abolition Media

A CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY: NO COMRADE WILL BE LEFT ALONE IN THE HANDS OF REPRESSION!

Alfredo Cospito is an anarchist comrade jailed since 2012, initially arrested and sentenced (along with another comrade) for kneecapping the CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare. He has served his sentence for that crime (the other comrade is now free), but he is currently serving a 23-year sentence issued in the “Scripta Manent” trial. This was a repressive operation against 20 years of FAI/FRI actions. Comrade Anna Beniamino is also serving a 17-year sentence for this repressive operation.
