Italy: ‘In the sunlight’ Luigi Palli

Via Dark Nights

What I just cannot understand, or at least it is not so clear to me, is what do these gentlemen think they are doing with us? The anarchists, regardless of our imprisoned status, will continue to document, to print leaflets and newspapers. And even when they are forced to flee, they will do so in the shadows. So, I feel like saying, keep us as long as you like. This will not change.

“Leitmotiv”, internationalist anarchist paper

Via Act for freedom now!

This newspaper is an expression of solidarity to the comrades under investigation and subjected to precautionary measures in the ”op. Scripta scelera”. [...] Leitmotiv, is the name we wanted to give this single issue of the paper as it traces and follows the same themes and lines as the internationalist anarchist fortnightly Bezmotivny.

Review: The Dawn of Everything

From A las barricadas, translated by Freedom News UK

After reading a few Marxist criticisms of Graeber and Wengrow’s book, I decided to take a look because if something displeases a Marxist, it will surely make me laugh. After a cursory glance, I understood the rejection.

The Local Kids: Issue 9

The Local Kids: Issue 9

From The Local Kids

All has changed yet everything remains the same. Several shocks have reverberated through society over the last years and changed our reality profoundly. At the same time, the monotony of daily life continues to impose itself relentlessly. Whether this observation is frightening or comforting speaks volumes about one’s perspective or mood.

An interview with Sudanese Anarchist Gathering

The following interview with the group „Sudanese Anarchist Gathering“ was done by e-mail. Due to the language barrier(s), a difference in political socialization and terminology, some difficulties arose in our communication. This has greatly delayed the publication of the interview which was held August 2022. Questions as well as answers have been translated and edited for better readability. However, we are now happy to share the interview and understand the previously mentioned hurdles as a logical part of internationalist work.

The struggle against the state is part of the struggle against patriarchy

Write an anarchist prisoner today!

via abolition media

Words from Anarchist Prisoner Mónica Caballero​

Today, power dresses fashionably, it takes on feminist outfits and those of sexual dissent, and why wouldn’t it? If everyone has a place in the democratic party, everyone can be represented in the institutions, we can all have the same constitutional rights. [...] Today, those who do not wait for others to break their chains take to the streets, those who here and now want to destroy patriarchy. Direct action against machismo! Let all institutions burn to their foundations!

And yet our idea...

A report on two animated days in Lugano

Here is a [slightly abbreviated] report on the attempt to re-occupy the CSOA [anarchist occupied social centre] il Molino in Lugano. There is much to be said and this text doesn’t claim to be exhaustive, but it gives the point of view of those who were present at the time and lived through it.

Chatter and Identities

reading about anarchism is a crime

from Biblioteca Anarchica Disordine

One of the most important guarantors of these freedoms is to be found in public prosecutor Manuela Comodi of the Perugia prosecutor’s office, who in a brilliant police operation unleashed her watchdogs – the ROS carabinieri – to raid the homes of numerous anarchists in Italy, looking for anarchist publications no less! And think, she even managed to find them… To tell the truth it wasn’t that difficult; like looking for philosophy books in a philosopher’s home or paintbrushes in a decorator’s workshop…

Tang ping

a master at work...- no, wait! - no gods, no masters, anti-work

from bugs

Here are translations of some of the posts by Luo Huazhong (the Kind traveler) about their idea of Tang ping (lying flat).

These posts came from their now deleted Baidu account, screenshots and transcriptions of which you can find in various places by using a search engine. I started with machine translation and then went through and fixed the machine’s mistakes. There are certainly some things I got wrong, and I will continue to edit this post with further corrections, but even in its messy form this is a really beautiful bit of thought!
