My friend Ronald Creagh has just left us this Friday, September 8, 2023 in Montpellier at the age of 94, after an unusual and very full life.

A British citizen, born June 16, 1929, in Alexandria, Egypt, he spent his childhood in Port Said between a Franco-Lebanese mother, an English father (accountant) and a Sicilian grandmother. He attended the French high school and during the war, was marked by the bombings of the city.

Political text by Anarchist Georgia Voulgari

Political text by Georgia Voulgari, a prisoner in the women’s prison of Korydallos.

I proudly declare myself anarchist, proud that in this rotten society, the society of submission and spectacle, I did not bow my head before exploitation and power and chose to stand next to comrades who, by supporting the multiform struggle, also wrote their own page in the revolutionary historical memory. So far, living my new life next to them, in squats, through their common struggles for freedom, I learned what solidarity and comradeship is, what it means to give everything for what you believe in even if you are going to lose your freedom. I take the political responsibility that is due to me for my complicity in the incendiary attack that took place on 8/2 at the Foundation for National and Religious Reflection. A fragmentary action, which was not carried out by an organisation, namely the Anarchist Action organisation of which I am accused as a member, but was motivated by the desires and anger of two people against religious obscurantism, patriarchy and state power.

Gender violence is not just a fact. It is the constantly imposed normality of patriarchal suffocation. Daily femicides, countless rapes and abuses, insulting and ironic comments, questioning and bullying. And when these things receive the divine blessing of the civilized obscurantism that the church is reaping, uncompromising rage takes shape, takes to the streets and seeks a voice. Revolutionary violence is taking responsibility.

Burning churches, taking down statues

from Antimídia via Contra Info

In different parts of the colonized territories, there's been tearing down, demolishing or destruction of statues of slavers, rapists, colonizers and genociders. Why let go of these symbols? What do they represent? And what values keeps them standing?
