Colombia: Medellín Anarchist Bookfair, Nov. 15 & 16

From Feria Anarquista del Libro (instagram)

In this 11th version of the anarchist fair of the book and publication, we invoke and summon the alchemy that lies in the boilers where it is leaking what sustains life: food. The care of hands that peel, stack, slice, wait, wash and serve will be the topographies we will explore so that those words of which we ufanamos know as autonomy and self-management, give us clues of how to lure them in more appropriate ways, given the present situation in the which we are, where hunger is one of the ways of sophistication of the state apparatus in its most gruesome version: genocide.

From The Conversation by by Edward Anthony Avery-Natale

While New York City is commonly considered the birthplace of American punk rock, just 100 miles south of the famous CBGB club where the Ramones and other early punk bands got their start is Philadelphia, which has had its own vibrant punk rock scene since at least 1974 – and it has persisted through the present day.

Who’s afraid of a little anarchy?

From new mandala by Mochammad Naufal Rizki - 26 Sep, 2025

The official response to August's protests shows how Indonesia’s small but active anarchist community has become the go-to bogeyman for governments seeking to justify crackdowns. The scapegoating of anarchists has meanwhile undermined the unity and political impact of anti-oligarchic protest movements.

Confessions of a Communard: The rocky road to collective change

From Doncopolitan

Some of the obstacles which have kept me from writing more regularly have been personal issues around mental health, then there is the sheer amount of work involved with building an ambitious anarchist project in the belly of the beast, but in the main my absence has been due to to the commune-wide process of transitioning from years of individualistic, neoliberal conditioning to a more collectivist mindset and lifestyle.

From Rose City Counter-Info

WHILE MISERY EXISTS, WE CHOOSE REBELLION

Everyone who has lived here knows that there are two Portlands: the Portland of the wealthy elite and their yuppie lackeys and the Portland of the poor, of the rabble. The architects of this misery are trying to ease the tension building on the fault line between these two cities using political games, counter-cultural branding, rainbow washing, and welfare “services” that amount to breadcrumbs laid in a mouse trap.

In Defense of One of Our Own

It’s almost quaint to declare permanent conflict with this society, with a world that sows domination in every corner. As long as it exists, conflict is guaranteed. And this world cannot exist without it’s strongest weapon: prison. The specter of punishment, the instrument of captivity, the ceaseless reformation of slavery. Until that realm is destroyed, freedom is meaningless. In our chosen struggles as anarchists, one of our tasks is to give real depth and content to our antagonisms.
