Monarchy In The UK

Monarchy In The UK

From The Final Straw Radio

This week, you’ll hear my chat with Jon Bigger about the status of the monarchy in the UK, the power it wields, the interventions it makes into parliamentary procedure and where we might see hopes of challenging it from an anarchist approach. Jon is an anarchist who is involved with the Anarchism Research Group, writes a column on UK politics at Freedom News and has been involved in the project Class War.

TOTW: Gardens

the bloom lives in the bloom

Here in this part of the world, spring has almost arrived. Outside today the sun is shining, the air is the warmest it has been since the fall, with the overcast gloomy skies of winter breaking. This week, we’re taking a look into practical anarchy and asking how does your garden grow?

YOUR WARS, OUR DEAD!

Capitalism is driven by the internal logic of ceaseless expansion and endless accumulation of capital. This drives capitalism from one destructive crisis to the next. In the last decade, the crisis has had different names, e.g. economic, migrant, Covid-19, but the reaction of the authorities to these crises is very similar: strengthening of the repressive and control apparatus, militarization, dehumanization, incitement to hatred among people, persecution of social opposition and destruction of human lives. The rulers themselves are aware that they cannot guarantee people with health or security, let alone prosperity, under the existing system. Therefore, they increasingly resort to sheer violence and other authoritarian methods to maintain their power.

Kurdish-Speaking Anarchist Forum: No war but the class war

War, all kinds of wars, religious and national wars, wars between states and global corporations are all against oppressed people, it attacks their living means, it attacks their will and ability, in order to subjugate them to the will of oppressors, to the will of the authorities, the capitalists.

Anarcho-blackness on Immediatism podcast

Immediatism has recently added a number of recordings of writings by Black authors. The first is autobiographical whilst the second starts out biographical then segues to analyses of the laws and institutions that controlled Black people after the end of slavery. The third, No Selves to Abolish, presents afropessimism; "[I]t is not simply at odds with, but is in fact hostile to identity and privilege politics -- whether Black or non-Black" (from the intro on TheAnarchistLibrary.org). The fourth, Anarcho-Blackness makes the point that there are many anarchist factors and aspects at work presently in Black communities and asks the question: If Blackness is anarchic, do Black individuals necessarily need to identify as anarchists? Fifth is Flower Bomb's piece which analyzes The Future as a kind of control limiting us in the present.

Emma Goldman and Individualist Anarchism

up with hope! down with dope!

From C4SS by Shane Ross | @taocuck | March 3rd, 2022

Emma Goldman is someone who is frequently associated with anarchism as a historical phenomenon. Her mix of anti-state activism, radical support for feminism and free love movements in the early 20th century, and her radiant life of praxis for the sake of anarchy echo in our understandings of what it means to be an anarchist today.
