From charlesfourier.fr
September 12, 2023

My friend Ronald Creagh has just left us this Friday, September 8, 2023 in Montpellier at the age of 94, after an unusual and very full life.

A British citizen, born June 16, 1929, in Alexandria, Egypt, he spent his childhood in Port Said between a Franco-Lebanese mother, an English father (accountant) and a Sicilian grandmother. He attended the French high school and during the war, was marked by the bombings of the city.

Review: The Dawn of Everything

From A las barricadas, translated by Freedom News UK

After reading a few Marxist criticisms of Graeber and Wengrow’s book, I decided to take a look because if something displeases a Marxist, it will surely make me laugh. After a cursory glance, I understood the rejection.

A bit about DEBATE ME, BRUH:

It is a truth universally acknowledged that any organizer who dares to be public about their anarchic/queer way of being must encounter a debate bro (or ten). No matter how prefigurative or insurgent or both our lives might be, a significant portion of being an anarchist in a hierarchical social is necessarily political education–the most rudimentary kind. But what about personal property? What would communities do about murderers in an anarchist society? Who would take out the trash? We’re trying to teach people about a beautiful set of ethics, about what it means to care for one another outside of hierarchy, but instead we’re faced with the truly awkward: isn’t anarchy chaos? Isn’t human nature evil, meaning all social change is futile? Were we at January 6th? Thousands of works of anarchist theory explore (for example) the necessity of transformative justice, answering these questions in a more thoughtful way that a late-night debate in the group chat with your tech-bro friend ever could. Yet despite the theory and praxis that so many have dedicated their lives to, the queries about murder and waste management persist. And your tech-bro friend still hasn’t read Emma Goldman. And there are three other people like him in your DMs, all wondering why you’re an anarchist without actually wanting to know. One wonders if, even in an idealized anarchist society, some middle-school boy somewhere would refuse to shut up about the fascinating fact that “WHEN I HEAR ANARCHISM, I JUST THINK OF FIRE!”

A roundup of Italy’s ‘Scripta Scelera’ raids

From A las barricadas, English translation via Freedom News UK

Solidarity spaces raided, presses stolen and homes invaded – anarchists are feeling the full force of Meloni-era repression after police went after a radical newspaper using anti-mafia and anti-terror legislation.
