A Eulogy and Paean to Freedom

Ben Morea has passed away. Known for his participation in Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, the self-styled “street gang with an analysis” active in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the late 1960s, he withdrew from the city and pursued a path into revolutionary animism. In the following eulogy, Tasos Sagris of Void Network recounts Ben’s subsequent visit to Exarchia, the Athenian neighborhood famed as a hotbed of anarchism.

Ariane Gransac is dead: a life that was intense, rebellious and anarchist

From Kate Sharpley Library

Ariane Gransac passed away in Perpignan on Sunday 5 April 2026, at the age of 84: her funeral is to take place at Perpignan crematorium on 15 April.  Rather than succumb to sadness at her leaving, I would prefer to remember her joie de vivre back when I first met her some sixty years ago around 1966, following her brave participation in the unforgettable abduction in Rome of Franco’s ambassador to the Vatican.

Jean-Marc Raynaud went to find out if God exists

From Blog YY

He was a staunch atheist and deeply opposed to clericalism, which he called "the worst scourge of humanity." He dreamed of an education free from traditional indoctrination and co-founded the Bonaventure Libertarian School at the far end of the world, in Chaucre, on the Île d'Oléron. He did the same with the self-managed cooperative Les Éditions Libertaires, where he began publishing my humble writings 20 years ago, before lending a hand to multilingual social libraries in Greece, as other close friends have done in recent years.
