With blood in his eyes
Saturday, July 9, the court of Treviso has sentenced our friend and comrade John to 28 years in prison (plus 3 years of probation, 30,000 euros in compensation to the Lega and 17,000 euros in court costs), for holding him responsible for the attack against the Lega headquarters in Treviso that occurred in August 2018.
WORDS OF MÓNICA AND FRANCISCO FROM PRISON
In these letters we are once again interested in exalting and encouraging the attack against every expression of Power. We are emphatic in affirming that we understand acts of revenge and sabotage as an urgent necessity, whose multiplication and propagation undeniably strengthens the spaces and anarchic positions of combat.
So as an indicative warning for the next decision of the Lamia council on 25/7 we decided on the 7th week of the hunger strike, at dawn on Monday 11/7, that the flame of the solidarity struggle sets fire to a van of the car rental company Hertz in the area of Vyronas. Hertz supplies the Greek police forces with cars and offers special conditions for oppressive forces worldwide. Removing the Hertz label from the cars of the OPKE jeeps is not enough. Hertz is an enemy of the struggle against repression.

Welcome to this week’s podcast. This podcast is on anarchist activity, ideas, and comments from the previous week on anarchistnews.org.
Who is the closest to being your anarchist hero? Much more importantly, why? How do you emulate what you like about them in your own life? Was someone once a hero and then stopped being one? Why? It's obvious why anarchists would decry heroes, but how are they also helpful to us, both individually and in general?

Having elaborated upon the kind of anarchism that I believe in, the question that immediately then comes up for me is: "How does one move forward with all these big ideas? How does one actually practice all of this stuff?" Okay, maybe that is really two questions, but my answer remains the same: Create new intentional communities.
For Giannis Michailidis and all prisoners who fulfill the conditions of release!
Fight now - Call for solidarity actions
Giannis Michailidis’ struggle has been - as intented - a trigger for action not only in Greece but also internationally. The fight for Giannis Michailidis and our freedom should continue even more intensively and combatively in order to offer a perspective for all the prisoners who face the revenge of the state and capital. This perspective though has to be created and to be upheld beyond the immense efforts of that one fighter.
And without wishing to linger further on the Marxist debate around war and revolution, anarchists were historically confronted by the very same dilemma. For some, anti-militarism was a categorical imperative – as it remains now – while for others, wars of resistance against domination were an obligation. And if the “theory” seemed to be clear in its opposition, anarchist practice always revealed a more complex political reality. In the three “great revolutions” of European anarchism – the Paris Commune, the Russian Revolution, the Spanish Revolution –, anarchists never acted alone. They were always part of broader fronts of actors who did not share the anarchist vision, but which by itself did not prevent them from engaging militarily. But then this was the failure of the anarchists, some contend; a judgement whose soundness rests only on the clarity of ideology and hindsight.

A friend of mine who teaches foreign language reminded me today of a curious problem in English. We don’t often take the time to understand what our compound words and prefixes do to the meaning of a term. For example, anarcho-communism is often used synonymously with anarchism, libertarian socialism and so on. However, the order of the words and hyphenation indicate that communism is the subject, and anarchism is the modifier. What kind of communism? Anarchist communism.

My takeaway is that Seaweed’s language is both easy and intense, and has utility whether you throw it piecemeal into conversations with friends outside the green anarchist tendency or examine it deeply with accomplices to deepen and broaden your perspectives and tactics. Day-Woods suggests that you “memorize [their] words and make them your own”, and there are blank pages at the back for noting down your own proverbs and those of your friends. This book is a pointing text aimed at fighting text generally, a collection of wise insights aimed at weaving together a wise culture more than elevating wise individuals, and a nourishing ground in which the flower of liberatory oral skills can begin to root. I have some battered trousers with big pockets that I wear most days, and now most days this beautiful little book sits in one of those pockets.

If you’ve spent any amount of time on the desolate lands known as the internet in 2022 this summer, you have probably heard of the recent HBO documentary series titled “The Anarchist”. This pathetic excuse for a docuseries follows the story of a wealthy Canadian white guy who started a conference in Mexico called “Anarchapulco,” in hopes of promoting anarcho capitalism. The series then follows an array of wealthy westerners who have decided that Mexico is the land of freedom that will save them from the stifling bureaucracies of modern life.

This project explores the connections between software, networks, decentralization, anonymity, hacking, technological production, and anarchism. We are interested in how our lives are shaped so significantly by the mundane and esoteric technical choices which create the worlds we inhabit. We are critical of experts, moderators, and administrators but we seek to understand their world so that we might come up with alternative practices for our own ends.
