From Nasha Niva

I listen to a podcast by American anarchists. And the anarchist movement has always positioned itself as international, transnational. And so a girl in the podcast says: we don't recognize Bakunin and Kropotkin and are not going to read them because they are white men. I listen and understand: she calls herself an anarchist, I call myself an anarchist, but for me, what she says is absolute savagery.

The privacy-focused messaging app arose from a fringe culture that emphasized individual autonomy and skepticism of authority. As it tries to go mainstream, can it escape its roots?

From Montreal Anarchist Bookfair

The Montreal Anarchist Bookfair collective opposes all systems of domination and hierarchy, which necessarily includes white supremacy.

We work to make the bookfair as accessible as possible, and recognize that failing to adequately address instances of white supremacy is an issue of access. Over the years, one manifestation of white supremacy in particular—cultural appropriation—has meant that many people who feel the brunt of racialized oppression have felt unwelcome at the bookfair. We’re striving to change this as best we can, and part of this means trying to figure out better ways to concretely address cultural appropriation as it plays out at the bookfair.
