TOTW: National Identity and Anarchy

I've been thinkin'. Y'know, bout countries? I am writing this from a place the old coot who inadvertently brought me to the anarchy I know today called "The Untidy Snakes of Amerikkklan." Something that always got him riled up, other than Maoists being allowed at May Day, was when people would refer to the CNT/FAI of 1936 with the shorthand of "The Spanish Anarchists." They weren't all Spaniards, for one, and anarchists in Spain didn't stop existing in '39. Yet, for many, the Spanish Anarchists are trapped in time and place, a Promethean eternity of reliving their noble defeat at Brunete.

A New Proudhon Library: Next steps

From Libertarian Labyrinth

After the month-long interruption in April, I’m finally settling down to work on the chronological review of Proudhon’s work that I have mentioned recently — which is also the process that will produce some print-on-demand volumes for A New Proudhon Library. I’ve been working without my usual daily quotas and deadlines, for the first time in over three years, and spending a lot of time thinking — no doubt sometimes over-thinking — about the translation strategies I began to develop a decade ago, while puttering away at Proudhon’s journalism and correspondence.

The dogs bark, but the caravan goes on

About beefs, ego-trips and cancellations in the libertarian movement

Since I recognised myself an anarchist, I have always been an “idealist” for taking it to the Messianic, a “believer” of The Idea. I was fascinated (and continue to be fascinated) by all the stories and experiences that Anarchism has brought, fought for and defended in the name of a conviction that a more dignified Humanity is possible. I always liked texts with a speech that appealed to “preach the spark of consciousness that transforms the instinct of mutual help into the architecture of a society without masters, where bread and freedom are universal and inalienable rights” or which spoke of the “end of the exploitation of Man over Man” and the “emancipation of the people by their own people”. I believe that, from this interpretation, my logical development was that ego and personalism cannot take place in a universal project.

Power, State, and Class

the two Fronts of Anarchist Struggle – article by KAF member

We Kurdish-speaking anarchists often come into contact with Marxists. They accuse anarchists of identifying the state as the main problem of this system while ignoring economic issues and class struggle.

In Contempt #8

State Terror in Prairieland, Minneapolis, Michigan, & Elsewhere, Repression Breeds Resistance…But Only If We Try!

The US state’s recent attacks on anarchists and anti-authoritarians, framing the militant forefront of mass resistance to fascism as “terrorism” is nothing new––it is the foundational repressive arm of US state capitalist terror that seeks to maintain its imperial and national domination at all costs. From Haymarket to the Anarchist Exclusion Act, from the Sedition Act to Sacco and Vanzetti, from Red Scares to COINTELPRO, from the MOVE bombing to Wounded Knee, from the Green Scare to J20, and now from Prairieland to Minneapolis, any threat to the state in the vast social war of the exploited against their exploiters will encounter repression.

Online Events: The Spanish Revolution & Civil War at 90

From Black Rose Anarchist Federation

No other topic in the history of the anarchist movement has been more thoroughly examined and debated than the Spanish Revolution & Civil War. And for good reason; the events that began in July 1936 culminated with millions of workers’ active participation in a revolutionary project aiming to vanquish the state and class society and to replace them with self-managed socialism. Despite all manner of contradictions and obstacles, they came close.
