Little Turtle Carries the World

From Scenes from the Atlanta Forest

None of us wanted to wake up on January 18th to the news that a forest defender in Atlanta’s Weelaunee Forest named Tortuguita, known to the Law and its death system as Manuel Teran, had been murdered by police during a morning raid. It was the last thing that we wanted to hear.

Identity as a Project

Identity as a Project

From Cyber Dandy by Cyber Dandy

An article was posted to LibCom recently

It is a decent analysis of Identity Politics, but like most, it misses what I think are some rather important points about Identity. I talk about some of this in my essay “Identity is Impossible,” but it is worth re-stating. The first thing to understand about Identity, in general, is that it is impossible. There isn’t just an occasional identity crisis impacting a society or an individual. Identity itself is built on a crisis that is fundamental to existence, to the ontological nature of consciousness. Since we are not things, we cannot ever identify completely with things… including conceptual things. So identities are always in crisis and they are constantly a territory of conflict.

Review: Class Struggle Unionism

Review: Class Struggle Unionism

From Freedom News UK

In recent years, there have been a fair few books written diagnosing the decline of the union movement and making suggestions for how it can be reversed, most prominently the work of Jane McAlevey. Joe Burns’ new book, Class Struggle Unionism, is a welcome and distinctive addition to this literature, and one that may be of particular interest to anarchists and syndicalists.

2022 brought the repressions and squashing of any free thought at the same scale as in 2021.

About the 41 bis for Alfredo Cospito: Those who are responsible

In recent days, a media campaign of mystification and lies has been going on around the hunger strike that Alfredo Cospito is carrying on to the last breath against life imprisonment without appeal and 41 bis. We’ve heard it all. The prime minister Giorgia Meloni, with her usual victimhood, went so far as to suspect conspiracies about the coincidence of the start of the hunger strike with the launching of her government.

Hunger Strike of Anarchists and Fighting Prisoners in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Get Alfredo out of 41 BIS!!!! FREE 'EM ALL!!!!

From Dark Nights

From Greece to every point in the planet – for all those fighting for freedom. Because defeat is not captivity, but losing one’s faith in the possibility of wining. So, we are collectively going on a hunger strike, according to each one’s capacity, so that we may stand by the side of anarchist revolutionary Alfredo Cospito, but also, against the death regime of 41-bis.

Update about the health of Alfredo Cospito on the 119th day of hunger strike (Italy, February 15, 2023)

Get Alfredo out of 41 BIS!

From La Nemesi

Today’s news [February 15th] is that Alfredo’s body, now after too many days of hunger strike, has rejected both these two yogurts and the supplements, contrary to mass-media reports: what he is currently taking is only sugar, salt and potassium. This is dramatic news both with regard to the comrade’s possibility of making it to February 24th alive [...] and with regard to his ability to resume feeding himself following a possible revocation of the 41 bis order.
