The Life and Ideas of Johann Most (with Tom Goyens)

From The Final Straw Radio

An interview with Tom Goyens, professor of history at Salisbury University and author of Johann Most: Life of a Radical, out last year from University of Illinois Press speaking about the life and times of the atheist and propagandist (notably through his journal, Freiheit) and his development from social democrat parliamentarian to socialist revolutionary to anarchist. For the chat we talk about Mosts’s life, development and legacy, from the mid-1800’s in Bavaria up to his death in 1906.

In Tension Issue 5

From In Tension - an anarchist agitation

In Tension is a journal acting as a place for anarchist analysis, dialogue, and reflection on activity that extends beyond single subcultures, issues, and social groups. Intended for people beginning to learn what anarchists are fighting and creating as well as people who have identified with anarchism for decades, In Tension is a way for us to talk to each other and report actions, issues, and intiatives that are otherwise under- or un-reported. We are interested in promoting the practice of doing things for ourselves and connecting our struggles locally, regionally, and internationally. In Tension also functions as an archive of sorts, a way to foster collective remembering.

With Sara and Sandrone, with heads held high

From Act for Freedom Now!

About the initiative in Rome on March 29th 2026

We are putting together and publishing some short texts and images from the initiative of domenica 29 marzo a Roma [Sunday March 29 in Rome] in memory of the anarchist comrades Sara Ardizzone e Alessandro Mercogliano. In spite of the attempt to block the morning’s appointment, a demonstration was held in the early afternoon leaving from the Quarticciolo. All those arrested in the morning (at least 91) were taken to the immigration office of Rome police station and released in the evening. Yet again, the day of Sunday showed the attempts of the repressive forces to isolate Sara and Sandro – first by unleashing a mass-media campaign aimed (in vain) at undermining their integrity, then systematically trying to block the moments and initiatives in their memory – but did not obtain the desired effect. Soon we will also be publishing other texts and images of 29 March in Rome.

An idea of freedom. For Sara and Sandro

From Act for Freedom Now! by Biblioteca Anarchica Disordine

That Sara and Sandro’s gesture was the decisive affirmation of the “here and now”, we can only imagine. As anarchists and comrades we feel a strong need to stand by them and defend them from anyone who allows themself to slander them. And we are in no doubt that revolutionary violence is part of anarchism and an antiauthoritarian idea that would uproot every kind of oppression and hierarchy. An idea that expresses itself with many varied methods and which, when it decides to use violence, never strikes in the heap but aims its attack against oppression and who and what constitutes one of its gears.It is pointless for the hacks of power, the investigators or whoever else to spout off with hypotheses aimed only at denigrating and speculating on the comrades who have lost their lives. What we want to reaffirm is the defence of an idea of freedom, necessary part of who goes right into the theory and practice of their ideals, who strongly feels this daily tension that pushes them to act, that torments them constantly where injustice and oppression reign.

Claim of responsibility for incendiary attacks by Anarchist Cell ‘Lambros Fountas’

From Dark Nights - Athens, Greece

We claim responsibility for the incendiary attacks on the homes of the MAT unit (riot police) at 12 Athanaton Street in Sepolia, on February 9, where Andreas Poligenis resides, and at 4-6 Teas Street in Kaisariani on February 24, as well as at the home of a cop from the OPKE unit [Crime Prevention and Suppression Unit] at 18 Deligianni Street in Exarcheia on March 7. We dedicate these actions to the memory of our anarchist comrade and member of Revolutionary Struggle, Lambros Fountas, who fell fighting in an armed clash in Dafni on March 10, 2010. Lambros was a exemplary fighter who advanced the multifaceted struggle with social revolution as its goal. He participated in every aspect of anarchist action, from assemblies, marches, and clashes with the forces of repression to revolutionary armed struggle.

Eternal Honour to the Anarchist—Lambros Fountas

From Dark Nights - Greece - by Pola Roupa, Nikos Maziotis

HONOR FOREVER TO THE ANARCHIST –
MEMBER OF THE REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE, LAMBROS FOUNTAS

On March 10, 2010, in Dafni, preparations for a major operation by Revolutionary Struggle aimed at sabotaging the enforcement of the “memorandum” were in their final stages. The attempt to seize a vehicle that the organisation would use for this action resulted in a clash with the cops. Comrade Lambros Fountas, our beloved comrade-in-arms in the struggle, was killed. Nothing would ever be the same again.

On March 10, 16 years ago, Lambros Fountas, a member of the Revolutionary Struggle organization, was shot dead by the police. The murder of the anarchist comrade took place during the preparatory action of the organization in Dafni during an armed clash with the police forces.

Notes on Anarchist Canon and Memory

From anarchofggt

I have noticed a disappointing trend with my anarchist milieu situated in the Pacific Northwest of Turtle Island. It is a concerning disregard and total dismissal of our inherited anarchist theories and histories, again from people who call themselves “anarchists.” I have noticed this is particularly a problem from White people. Self-proclaimed anarchists here behave as if they are past the droning of Proudhon, Kropotkin, or Malatesta, while still engaging in the same Sisyphean “debates” trying to approach conclusions already reached 100 years ago, while using different language are really just concepts such as the principle of voluntary association, the merits of violence and nonviolence, or if organized Platformism is the way to go.
