From Libertarian Labyrinth by Shawn P. Wilbur
The most recent issue of Anarcho-Syndicalist Review includes an article by Wayne Price, “Do Anarchists Support Democracy? The Opinions of Errico Malatesta,” in which he once again takes up the defense of “democracy” as at least consistent with anarchist principles. A brief discussion of the article on the North American Anarchist Studies Association list picked up threads from the 2017 C4SS “Mutual Exchange” on anarchy and democracy.
My Argument
Antinatalism means being against reproduction on ethical grounds – in typical cases, not having children and believing that the decision not to have children is morally right. Other definitions, some of them extending their scope to other species, have been offered but this characterization is sufficient for my purposes here.

Early September in Belfast can be surprisingly sunny and balmy. It was so sunny even, that the closing plenary after three days of conferencing at Ulster University happened outside, in the sunshine – providing a physically open space as an opportunity for open dialogue between all participants. During the plenary, there were some initial reflections on the 8th edition of the conference, as well as some first promising ideas for the next edition.

Emma Goldman & Reginald Reynolds on Palestine: some notes on anti-Semitism & Zionism before World War 2
However shocking are recent events in and around Gaza, they do not arise like lightning on a clear day and out of blue skies and may be seen in historical context. This text goes a little way towards sketching anarchist perspectives on this historical and political conflict.
