The Malaria of Consciousness: Wilhelm Reich and the Pathology of Ideology

From Bangladesh AnarchoSyndicalist Federation

— A Psychoanalytic Reading of Repression, Ideology, and Human Liberation

In modern thought, ideology is often seen as a set of ideas, beliefs, or political doctrines. But Wilhelm Reich — the radical psychoanalyst, Marxist, and revolutionary thinker — understood ideology not merely as thought, but as a disease of feeling, a psychic infection that spreads like malaria through the body of society.

Only then

From Paradox-A

One thing I've never really understood is when people with explicit views say they need to clarify this or that before they can get involved (again). These are either people who were previously "politically active" or people who actually never were. The latter sometimes move around in the scene for years without ever organizing themselves into groups, striving for their own actions, or supporting structures.

FOR COMRADE KYRIAKOS XIMITIRIS

From Act for Freedom Now! by Pola Roupa & Nikos Maziotis

A year ago, comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris lost his life while building an explosive device. He had decided to respond in this dynamic way to some great injustice, to a class and anti-social state policy, to defend a right … Whatever he had decided to do, whatever action he had chosen, it was certainly an armed political action against a savage and deeply unjust system of power that in our time is increasingly showing its anti-social and racist face. A deeply class system of power that is now openly showing its hatred towards anything that does not yield profit and power.

Sunset on a Prairie Dawn

From Space City Anarchist Organization

Eco-Anarchist zine about the desolation of the Gulf Coast published on behalf of a contributor.

If you travel to the undeveloped parts of coastal Texas around Harris County, down to the base of mima mounds in the prairie, you’ll find the Texas Prairie Dawn. It’s a small, unassuming, unremarkable yellow flower that blooms for a short period in the spring before our searing summer sun kills it and dries out our prairies. You could pass right by it and miss it unless you’re looking for it, and you can live in Houston your entire life and miss the habitat and the entire world it belongs in.

ToTW: Work! What is it and do we have to do it!?

Working for the man, working on myself, this relationship is work, this relationship is working, working on this or that, this is my body of work, that is just what i do for work, work work work. It's a word we seem to use for every sort of action or arrangement that requires any effort, but what does it really mean? Many anarchists are anti-work but scrape themselves raw on tasks or endeavors that could be called work.

A Novel of an Anarchist Nursing Home Run by 1970s Punks

From Portland Monthly

Fleeing Child Protective Services, Nola brings James to an intergenerational assisted living home run by her music teacher, Caz. “Youngs” live rent free if they care for the “olds.” Twentysomethings bogged down with college debt and seniors who can’t afford the outrageous cost of traditional assisted living help each other out.

I Saw God in the Anarchists

From Rednecks Rising Media

On Surviving Helene, Building Heaven on Earth, and Seeing God in Each Other

“Does anyone have a boat?” Asked the message that flashed across my screen around 4pm on Tuesday, August 17th, 2021. Haywood County was being pummeled by Tropical Storm Fred and two dear friends of mine needed help. My friend Jon described how the Pigeon River was raging through his sister, Natasha’s, home, and how the two of them were taking refuge on top of the bunkbeds in one of the kids’ rooms. The only road in or out was under water.

Update from Gabriel Kuhn

From LeftTwoThree by Gabriel Kuhn

I revived Alpine Anarchist Productions (AAP) for the briefest of moments to launch the pamphlet Varieties of Jewish Anarchism: A Brief Introduction by Anthony T. Fiscella. (You’ll find a ready-to-print zine layout here.) I did this because Anthony’s pamphlet Varieties of Islamic Anarchism: A Brief Introduction, which AAP launched seven years ago, was one of the most popular pamphlets we ever helped distribute.
