Celebrating 30 years of the Base for Anarchy and Solidarity in Easton (BASE)

From The Bristol Cable

As the Easton-based social centre reaches its thirtieth birthday, we explore the history of the much-loved volunteer-run community space, which began life as a squat back in the mid-1990s

As the winter of 1995 drew in, a group of Bristol’s anarchist squatters started to talk about where to go next. One comrade heard that a building at 14 Robertson Road, which had previously housed the Bristol One Parent project, had been empty for over six months.

Italy: Venezia '84 is back! October 18-30

From Centro studi libertari - Archivio G. Pinelli

The 40th anniversary of the International Anarchist Meeting held in Venice in 1984 is approaching (for those who were not there, here is the link that gives an account of the many aspects of that event: https://centrostudilibertari.it/ven84-homepage ).

Given the importance that meeting had not only for our history but also for that of the international anarchist movement, which participated en masse in that meeting coming from thirty different countries, we could not help but invent something worthy of the moment!

Austria: File the Power!

September 10, 1898: the anarchist Luigi Lucheni murders the Austro-Hungarian empress "Sissi" with a file. He does not have enough money for a dagger.

What followed was a violent wave of state attacks against anarchism and, with the Anti-Anarchist Conference in Rome, one of the first attempts to network police repression internationally.

20 years since the murder of Carlo Giuliani

It's been 20 years since the murder of Carlo Giuliani in Genoa. Those days that costed first of all a life, but also a lot of blood for all the others who joined the demonstrations, filled the streets, or the Diaz school. We don't want to just remember the sacrifice of our health or the fear, the traumas, and our rage and disillusionment. Or the year long trials and a total of 110 years in prison imposed against a movement. More important is still keeping on shouting that a different world is possible: a responsible, ecological, fair one.
