The Anarchists of Dune

From The Transmetropolitan Review

Across the world, the movie-watching public will soon behold the Fremen of Dune sack and destroy the Empire, starting on their homeworld of Arrakis. This irresistible moment, where the rebels actually win, is sure to sink into the mass-public consciousness, but despite all the Arabic names and parallels between spice and petroleum, the true story of the Fremen deserves to be told, especially now, given what’s at stake.

With so little space in the upper story of the building, some attendees stood in the stairwell to listen to the presentation on the history and activity of the Anarchist Federation of Uruguay (FAU) made by author and historian Troy Andreas Araiza Kokkinis. For over an hour Araiza Kokkinis covered in harrowing detail the activity of the FAU in the years preceding and during the civic-military dictatorship in Uruguay.
