death

From Distinctively Dionysian

How to Bury an Anarchist has finally gone to press! This book took longer to release than I first expected,partly because Bacchus Editions has had many other books moving through, et partly because I pulled this one out of production at the last minute to add a full index. With a book this wide in scope, I wanted readers to be able to return easily to the things they cared about within it…

Full title: Chile: A death in action is an eternal call to struggle. Letter to the comrades of Kyriakos and Marianna.

Kyriakos has left us, he died in an apartment last Thursday. Marianna is seriously wounded in the Evangelismos hospital. Both anarchist comrades present in different scenarios of the struggle. We receive the news with sadness and closeness because the last breath of her life could have been eventually also the last of several of us. Our feelings cannot be more than immense affection and admiration because we know that those who walk the path of the anarchist offensive are valuable and unique in their qualities, contradictions and contributions to the struggle.

Original title: Santiago: Mónica Caballero’s Words 26 Years After the Murder of Claudia López

Commemorating year after year the death of someone who was related in ideas and practices, for many it is necessary that it does not stop being done, so that if someone dies performing an action in coherence with anti-authoritarian ideas, the commemoration of their death is a way of propagating the ideas that led to their death.

Is there anything you’re willing to die for?

From Counterpunch

Dave Foreman, whose vision spawned a radical wave of the US environmental movement, passed away this week at the age of 74 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was controversial, he was stubborn, but he wasn’t one to compromise the fight to save wilderness and open space. The following piece on Foreman’s foray with federal law enforcement first appeared in our book, The Big Heat: Earth on the Brink. – Jeffrey St. Clair & Joshua Frank

The system will likely kill us for it, but we’ll go down fighting in the process. If we’re going to die, why not die happy instead of sad? Even in, especially in its hostility to the "living death" of the world anarchism can be life-affirming. But is that enough?

The news, in itself, is simple, though unpleasant: after forty-nine years, "A" Rivista Anarchica ceases its publications. The first Italian publication "in alphabetical order" will no longer reach its subscribers and its interlocutors, leaving a hole where every month it was possible to read a fairly exhaustive review of themes and ideas from the varied libertarian world. The story is known and tinged with legend: Fabrizio De André's favorite monthly forum (who supported it financially), the voice that denounced the "state massacre" in Piazza Fontana, promoter of the campaign for the liberation of Pietro Valpreda, always with the intimate conviction that "there are no good powers" and that, therefore, anarchy is not an extreme position, but the only truly acceptable one.
