Exarcheia, the subway station, and public space

From Freedom News UK

For quite some time now, in the historic Exarcheia neighbourhood of Athens, home to countless anti-authoritarian and anarchist collectives, squats, and social centres, there has been a struggle directed against the construction of a metro station on the district’s central square. How does an area with such a libertarian history oppose the expansion of public transport, one might ask; but the truth is that the problem is not the subway as such, but the way the decision to build was made and what will came after it.

Whose Tweets? Our Streets

A New Poster and Zine for an Offline Media Offensive

Last week, Elon Musk personally banned us from Twitter at the request of a far-right troll. [...] In response, we invite you to make the streets of your community speak out with a new poster about capitalists like Elon Musk and Donald Trump. If there’s one medium that billionaires will never control, it’s wheatpaste.

Eviction of CSO La Astilla (Barcelona)

Translation of the leaflet circulated last night (1-12-22) in the post-eviction demonstration for the CSO Astilla in L'Hospitalet de LLobregat (Barcelona, Spain) La Astilla was an important anarchist Squatted Social Center that held countless concerts, talks, solidarity events and workshops during the last 13 years.

Today they have evicted the Squatted Social Center La Astilla. This is the end of a project that began in March of 2009, when a group of people decided to squat a warehouse in Hospitalet to start a self-managed project that would respond to their concerns.

Constructing Anarchisms (Reimagined)

From Constructing Anarchisms

I have simply gone ahead and set up a “Village”-sized instance with them at constructinganarchisms.org. My plan for the site is simple: I’m going to pursue one of the lines forward from “A Schematic Anarchism,” building up what I have called a “plain” or “shareable” anarchism from the formula I have proposed, and I’m going to invite anyone who would like to make a somewhat belated attempt at “making anarchism their own” to join me—or at least work in parallel with me on the new site.

History of Egoist Anarchism

Stirner's appearance is a spook. How are we to trust Engel's ill-intended caricatures?

From Center for a Stateless Society Faruk Pak

Egoist philosophy generally refers to any school of thought that considers the self (i.e. one’s own personal interests) to be the primary source of ethical standards and action, superseding external factors such as social norms or other-regarding principles. As a result, egoist anarchist schools of thought tend to emphasize personal liberation and non-subordination so that individuals may pursue their own ends without sacrificing them for others or vice versa.

Solidarity Rail Sabotage in Eastern Ontario

From North Shore Counter-Info

In the early hours of Nov 5, groups of anarchists acted in solidarity with Sleydo’s call for action to support the ongoing Wet’suwet’en battle to protect the yintah and kill the drill. Rail lines were sabotaged at several points in a disruption of business-as-usual along main arteries of the freight system. They will continue to be sabotaged at random far into the future, at every corner of rail line across the turtle’s back.

A long time ago in a revolution far, far away

From Surviving Leviathan with Peter Gelderloos

Revolutionary Organizing, Lumpen, and Anarchy in Andor

What are the politics of Andor? It would be obtuse to expect any representation to be meaningful in a society in which action is constantly divorced from belief. Nonetheless, we can engage in cultural criticism to take a look at what kind of fantasies the culture industry feels a need to contemplate and domesticate.

Call for a week of solidarity action (Alfredo Cospito)

attack!

From Enough is enough

Full title: We won’t allow the murder of Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike since October 20, 2022 – Call for a week of action from November 28 until December 5

On the 5th of December, in Turin, Anna and Alfredo will be tried for the crime of ‘political slaughter’, under an article of the fascist penal code that was never repealed. They risk being sentenced to life imprisonment for the explosive attack on the Carabinieri cadet school in Fossano in 2006, an attack that caused neither deaths nor injuries.
