From Return Fire

Original title: Open letter from Return Fire magazine to the 2024.03.29-31 International Anti-Prison / Anti-Repression Gathering

We welcome this initiative, and send our love and gratitude to all gathering in Brighton with the aim of together building a more durable and combative struggle against the authoritarian nightmare of the present-day. From the limits of our own capacity, we’d like to offer some thoughts; reflections that have been born from decades of shared struggle and over 10 years of publishing our magazines with a strong presence of anti-repression/anti-prison documentation and agitation.

Or Just Say Nothing

A Response to CrimethInc.'s Initial Statement on Aaron Bushnell

Aaron Bushnell, before self-immolating in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., sent notice to a few radical platforms including CrimethInc. (henceforth: the Outlet) informing them of his decision to commit "an extreme act of protest" against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. He asked simply that they preserve the footage of his action and report on it. Most complied, but in the face of such a humble request, the Outlet was confused: "All afternoon, while other journalists were breaking the news, we discussed how we should speak about this. Some subjects are too complex to address in a hasty social media post." It's telling that they self-identify as journalists.

Three years paradox-a.de – Some thoughts

submitted anonymously

I have been running the blog project paradox-a.de for three years now. Originally I started the blog to have a place to publish my texts and to give a contact possibility at my lectures. In the meantime, I have gained a manageable readership and have been able to somewhat influence the German-language debate on anarchist theory.

Rail Attacked in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

ATTACK!

From La Nemesi

Full original title: Claim of sabotage act against rail lines in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike (Rome, Italy, November 6, 2022)

On the night of November 6, we sabotaged high-speed rail and other train lines in several places in the city. Writings against 41 bis were left at the site. The goal of this action was to give visibility to the struggle of Alfredo and the other prisoners on hunger strike. The action, despite being successful (we verified that there were heavy delays to circulation the following day) was silenced by the media.

TOTW: Manifestos

manifesto gun

When a white supremacist mass shooter, rich politician-turned-tech-executive, and anonymous anarchists all release public declarations to the media in the same week, perhaps there’s reason to pause and reflect on the form. Whether you call them manifestos, communiqués or marketing campaigns, there’s a patterned reliance on rhetoric to complement provocative deeds.

TOTW: The future of anarchist media

no comment

Topic of the week - How anarchists engage in the sharing of information has long been a critical part of the anarchist project, and as the media landscape of the future changes, perhaps anarchists must too. In this topic of the week, we will discuss the future of anarchist media.
