From MAKE TOTAL DESTROY
WHO THE FUCK
We’re just trying to make money to reopen our community space.
Destroy
In an effort to try and subvert existing structures, the homies in Phoenix have been trying to open a sort of third space in the greater-Phoenix area. This space will be used as a way to create, destroy, learn, unlearn, play, anti-work, and explore with one another. Phoenix lacks the kind of meaningful gathering space that we envision and, rather than whining continually about the declining Cool People scene in the area, we’re just gonna do it ourselves.
Make Total Destroy was borne of our last community space that we had just outside of Phoenix. Notably, it was the print shop/maker space at that location and, in an effort to continue on after we ungracefully left due to conflicts with our Big-L Libertarian landlord, we decentralized the print shop efforts and have started to try and make the necessary money to reopen our space. Here we are.
Make
We are currently making a lot of things, but here’s a small list:
Government watchlists
Stickers
Shirts
Zines
Posters
Thermite
Most things we sell are designed by us. There are a few items that we sell that have been made by other creators that we (usually) get permission to sell. Our shirts are NOT screen printed because we are anti-screen printing for no real reason beyond not wanting to learn. Shirt prints are made via stencil and various dying or painting methods. Most of our shirts are expropriated from thrift store chains and we don’t usually make more than a few sizes or prints of the same shirt at one time.
If you see something you like and want to customize it, just let us know and we’ll get it made for you.
If you have some stuff you want printed or made, we are also offering print services. This is entirely at our discretion as we’re not going to print Trotskyist newspapers or MLM bullshit.
GIVE US YOUR MONEY
Make Total Destroy is the world’s first, the world’s only, and the world’s last Decentralized Print Shop. Fancy way of saying the homies got a bunch of print stuff at their houses and we collaborate in the most inconvenient way possible. But it’s working and we’re churning out some heinous shit quicker than we thought was possible.
Any and all money that Make Total Destroy makes goes directly into helping us reopen our community space. Overhead for materials is covered by Make Total Destroy’s members so that we can do our best to direct all revenue into the space. The dream for the space is simple: We want somewhere to keep our print shop, maker space, small library, and to hang out with coconspirators.
Orders can be placed here or through Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/maketotaldestroyco/
Say hello or make a threat or send us zines or send us a pic if you saw our shit put up somewhere.
Do you want to build a larger Anarchist community? Reach out and let us know you need some people to [REDACTED] with. Things are ugly and getting uglier. We would love to build a larger base of insurgents.
DCSC: Please remember opsec.

"infoshop...but more bad ass with flames and shit". the dream of the 90's is alive in the head of every insurrecto.
Say you want an infoshop

Say you want an infoshop without saying the word infoshop lmao. It’s like they’re either purposefully trying to avoid the term to make themselves seem cool and like they’re doing something *new* or are genuinely ignorant of the history of anarchist infoshops worldwide.
My suggestion would be to reach out to the existing anarchist infoshops and anarchist bookstores. Long haul in LA, the big idea in Pittsburgh, bluestockings in NYC. They’ll have some pointers on what you can do to get the correct nonprofit status, or how to open it as a for-profit then convert.
In my humble opinion, teaming

In my humble opinion, teaming up with a DIY music venue could be favorable to the stated goals.
more infoshop type places,

more infoshop type places, yes please! there are some *ahem* practicalities to being above board enough to fly under the radar as it were. but do what thou wilt.
btw, Long Haul is in Berkeley and slingshot is out of there. say what you want about the paper, but the Slingshot Organizer is a good resource for other spaces doing similar ventures, slingshotcollective.org
good luck
