Reorientation: Some Changes to North Shore Counter-Info

From North Shore Counter-Info

We started North Shore Counter-Info in 2018 with the intention of encouraging written reflection, principled debate and public communication for anarchists across so-called southern ontario. In the context of a growing dependence on corporate social media platforms, we wanted (and still want) to provide an anonymous alternative that prioritizes thoughtful and dangerous contributions over throwaway takes and media jargon.

11 Years After the Death of Comrade Sebastian Oversluij

From Abolition Media

On December 11, 2013, comrade Sebastián Oversluij Seguel “Pelao Angry” was killed in an action/expropriation of a Banco Estado in the commune of Pudahuel, at the hands of a security guard of capital. In his life he carried out various anti-authoritarian political projects and initiatives, including: publishing projects, musical ensembles, libraries, action groups and propaganda. Since his death, he has been vindicated for the creative expression of anarchist ideas through music, drawing, writing, conflict and the constant tension to achieve coherence between word and action. From an anti-speciesist, anti-civilizational and nihilistic vision, he was a defender of propaganda by the deed and direct action.

A voice from Ukraine: “It’s time to organize”

From Takku
August 2, 2024

In the end of July 2024 an anarchist member of Ukrainian armed forces shared their thoughts with Takku as follows.

My name is Ljosha. I lived in Sweden before the war, but I came to Ukraine after Russia launched its full-scale invasion. Together with my comrades, I wanted to develop anarchist organizing and activities, to defend the Ukrainian people and nature, and to strengthen the anarchist movement in the revolutionary struggle.

Open (desperate) letter to those who eat our same bread

Many argue that those who have no hope to convey should keep quiet. Although this would explain the silence into which many of us are sliding, we don’t agree. In fact, in a way we think exactly the opposite: those who should shut up are the ones who persist in peddling enchanting narratives (from heavenly paradise as a reward for earthly resignation to communism as the ineluctable outcome of capitalist development, passing through the insurrection that comes with every citizens’ mobilisation or street riot).

Reflection & Reorganization

From Black Rose Anarchist Federation

Black Rose/Rosa Negra Resumes Public Activity

In 2020 Black Rose / Rosa Negra (BRRN) began experiencing serious internal political conflict over the direction of our organization, its strategy, and its structures. The organizational turmoil produced by this conflict was greatly exacerbated by the psychological, social, and political strain brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the George Floyd Uprising.

Reflections on the “Luigi Caiafa” story

from Campania Libertaria

We decided to write down our thoughts on something that took place few weeks ago, the removal of a mural in Forcella, a district in the Naples old town, dedicated to seventeen-year-old Luigi Caiafa who was killed during an attempted robbery in the night of 4th October 2020 by a policeman who was at the scene. As anarchists and free persons we think that this kind of thing is extremely important and should be faced and discussed, especially in the Neapolitan territory and the Campania region generally.
