Jacques Ellul: The necessary revolution
From Autonomies
Anarchists are prone to political idol worship. Though by no means exclusive to anarchists, their/our susceptibility to them does ill. The agitation of a demonstration that develops into a riot; isolated individual and/or collective gestures of rebellion; the riot or the insurrection that promises revolution; the missing philosophy or ideological expression that will make sense of it all; the revelation of the absent revolutionary subject; the creation of the properly radical organisation; revolutions past: each carries a power of seduction and each taken as privileged renders us blind to the uncertainty and contingency of events.
The Incomparable Anarchist Frankie Moore
From The Transmetropolitan Review
Like most anarchist women, we know very little about Frances Moore, or Frankie. She walked into history sometime around 1900, a single mother lost in the metropolis of Chicago. We know she was Irish, though not the date she was born, and if the contents of Why? are any indication, it’s possible she resorted to sex-work to feed her three daughters.

by Juan Pujalte
On Saturday, January 4, 1919, the confrontations between the Vasena strikers and the police together with the strikebreakers and provocateurs hired by the company intensified.

#94: The Uprising in Peru
In December 2022, a wave of popular protests led by campesino and Indigenous movements swept across Peru, including a nationwide mobilization in the capital.

For a direct view of these events, we spoke with Peruvian anarchists, hoping to get perspective on the aspects of this movement that exceed state politics.
