October 16, 2025
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of our anarchist federation. Naturally, we didn’t hesitate to make this milestone the central theme of the autumn issue of the anarchist revue Existence. Such an anniversary offers a valuable opportunity not only for reflection and reminiscence, but also for drawing important lessons.
From Act for freedom now!
In the early hours of Monday, October 13, 2025, at around 3:00 a.m., we went to the Nyx Hotel on the Limassol coast, throwing bottles of red, black, white, and green paint as a sign of solidarity with the struggling people of Palestine.

In late winter of 2024 myself and a few friends were working on putting together the first Baltimore Zine Fest. We decided we wanted it to be outdoors, as we had no real venues that we could connect with to host such a radical free event, we landed on Herring Run park. Prior to this myself and others agreed that our anarchist and punk scenes needed a event that wasn’t just a punk show, we needed more community events. I’ve always been inspired by the Anarchist Book Fairs and wanted to replicate a similar experience with BZF but never had the time or energy to organize something like that until last year.

From The Dugout
In this in-depth conversation with Ashanti Alston — former Black Panther, political prisoner, and life long learner — we explore the radical meaning of life, death, and liberation.

The Impact of International Socialism on Japanese Buddhism
Uchiyama Gudō’s background in Buddhism inspired his socialist beliefs; therefore, he understood socialism and anarchism not as departures from Buddhism, but as natural expressions of Buddhist egalitarianism. What he failed to grasp, however, were the conflicting natures of Buddhism’s inner liberation and anarchism’s outer revolution.
From The New York Times
Four Boston police officers were injured in a confrontation near Boston Common with more than 200 protesters who the police said had refused to clear the roadway. Those arrested ranged in age from 19 to 28 and included students from at least two area colleges. All were to be charged with inciting a riot, a felony charge that is also known as “promotion of anarchy,” with origins in early 20th-century fears of anarchist violence.
From Oregon Public Broadcasting
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem set expectations high in July... she had promised swift legal action against “anarchists” and “Antifa-affiliated groups” who allegedly circulated the names, pictures and addresses of ICE officers in the city. Citing flyers of agents’ personal information and a photo of trash piled up on an officer’s lawn, she blamed unnamed politicians for “actively encouraging these attacks.”

He was born in 1939. At the age of 18, he was drawn to anarchism, through the anarchist club of the José Ingenieros People's Library. In the 1960s, he became involved in student revolts. He was also part of the cooperative movement and the peasant movement, and became one of the founders of a federation of housing cooperatives. He was a member of the Comunidade do Sul do Uruguai (Community of Southern Uruguay), an experiment in free living in which he practiced his ideas for years, until his exile in Argentina in 1974.
