Stop the War between Iran and Israel - Press Release

From A-infos by the Anarchist Federation. Machine translated

A new war has begun in the Middle East between Iran and Israel. The former is an extremely authoritarian theocratic state that does not hesitate to bloodily repress the slightest social and political protest. It has always had regional pan-Islamist aims, financing and arming, among others, groups such as the Houthis in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The latter is an increasingly racist, expansionist, and genocidal state that has not hesitated to massacre more than 55,000 Palestinians, including 15,000 children, in recent months under the pretext of fighting an Islamist organization and its atrocious attacks on October 7, 2023: Hamas. These two states have now entered into direct conflict through airstrikes. In less than 48 hours of war, in addition to the destruction typical of all wars, numerous civilian casualties have been recorded on both sides. As in Gaza, children are not spared. Several have already been killed in Iran, including a two-month-old baby, Rayan Ghassemian, following an Israeli bombardment in a Tehran neighborhood. 

Czechia: Activities of the Anarchist Federation in 2023

From Anarchistické Federace, January 29, 2024

The Anarchist Federation (AF) has been operating continuously since 1995 and is without a doubt the longest operating anarchist organization in Czechia. But that doesn't mean it claims a monopoly on local anti-authoritarian organization. On the contrary, it supports organisational diversity as it is a healthy aspect of the anarchist movement. This means, among other things, that a significant part of the membership of our Federation is also active in other, more specifically targeted groups. Some of us are active in, for example, the Food not Bombs, Limity jsme my, Dekonstrukce, Opravdu dobré squaty (ODS), NoLog, Sdílené domy, MSDN, Trhlina, Cocina Perdida, Výbor na obranu revoluce v Rojavě and others.

The Cost Of Living Crisis – An Anarchist Analysis

From Anarchist Federation

Intro

The cost of living has shot up recently, and looks like it will continue to rise over the next couple of years. This increase will make life harder for almost everyone besides the rich and powerful. Many who may have been comfortably surviving previously will be forced into a precarious position where one run of bad luck could throw them into poverty. Those already in poverty are facing a disaster.

35 years of the Anarchist Federation

From Organise Magazine

reflections on 1986 and now

It’s 35 years since the AF was first formed as the Anarchist Communist Federation in 1986. We’ve published retrospectives on several occasions before in the 10, 20, 25 and 30 year specials of Organise! This time we look back at what was happening in and around 1986 and its relationship to the emergence of the new anarchist organisations.

An international May Day greeting for 2021

From Anarchist Federation

AF note: The following is from the IFA Secretariat who are currently the FAI in Italy (this role rotates amongst the Federations making up the membership of IFA). We previously published a nice read about the anarchist origins of Mayday including the Haymarket Affair in Chicago mentioned below. Also, our 25th anniversary issue of Organise!  magazine 77 from a decade ago has articles we have previously published about the Paris Commune which was especially influential on the development of anarchist communism. Earlier in the year we also celebrated and remembered the bravery of the Kronstadt rebellion of 1921.

TOTW: An Anarchist Federation

In 2020 let us flip the script. Let us, in 2020 at a national gathering (somewhere in the middle of the continent between Texas and Chicago) and form a solid "big tent" anarchist gathering with these principles.

1) Let us be united in the purpose of demonstrating anarchism as a politics of action
2) Let us not get bogged down in the specifics of hyphens. All anarchists are invited. DIYers, Red, Green, and other anarchists who wish anarchism to live as an action ideology
3) Let us pick some areas to focus our on (like New Hampshire for the Libertarians.), perhaps Vermont or Oregon.
4) Let us federate defensively, for a state and exchange free world, for a free people, and for doing things with dignity
