It's starting to look pretty much like a DOA plan, indeed.

The collective running the Mtl bookfair were airtight on their rationale for this. Fully closed source decision-making process, with only shady bits of infos being sent out. Of course, "security culture" and all that, tho this makes you look like the same old Central Committee. And also, anarchism ain't your communal intellectual property, right?

First, they do this widespread announcement through anarchist outlets they're going to make an ABF this year, then... well, not quite... like the A-Fed stupids have been calling for, they'll be doing full 100% online, in support of social isolation, then sending couriers to deliver publications to people's places... ahem!

So... as the hordes of people will be enjoying a beautiful day outside at the opening of the Summer, hanging out, playing, having picnics and all that; the anarchist milieu would be confined in their houses watching vid podcasts of the local anarchist upper caste telling them about anarchy and rebellion and shit, because the government said so. And then go full cocooning by receiving their zines from volunteer couriers. All this, just to keep the anarchist publication sub-economy still cashing in.

Wow.

Can't wait for the upcoming announcement that, it got canceled due to lack of support, or maybe some guy who took an instrumental position just ended up being a deadbeat, once again. Like we weren't already expecting to be trolled. Sorry to spoil your fun, but...
