From Circolo Libertario Caffè Esperanto
March 31, 2023

Andrea Cianel left suddenly and quietly, like when at concerts after a beer and a couple of cigarettes all of a sudden he would disappear into the shadows and you would never see him again because he had gone who knows where, probably somewhere else listening to other music drinking another beer.

Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair

Via Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair

Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair is back from COVID hiatus and will be held in Asheville, NC from August 11-13. This year we will be working once again with our comrades in Pansy Collective, who will complement days of workshops and tabling with evenings of queer music and parties. It’s a special year, as well, since we’ll be helping our local, collectively-owned anarchist bookstore inaugurate their new location as a hub for the bookfair.

For anyone who missed it, you can check out this video taken at our book launch event on 29th December in Lighthouse Bookshop, Edinburgh. Jim gives an overview of the book and the genesis of the project, and our comrade from the CrimethInc. ex-Workers’ Collective rattles through a political economy of punk, post-Fordism and the death of social media, with Q&A thereafter.

Anarchist bookstore needs your help!

Firestorm is carving out lasting queer & trans space in Southern Appalachia!

Your friendly neighborhood anarchist bookstore is relocating and needs your help! In early 2023 we will be moving from 610 Haywood Road to 1022 Haywood Road (formerly Dr. Dave’s Automotive). This move will allow our co-operative to resume hosting in-person events and community activities in a COVID-safe(r) way. Better yet, we'll be partnering with a national loan fund and a local land trust to make the property at 1022 Haywood Road a democratically managed community resource capable of outliving our little bookstore.

"La Malatesta" Project Closes

from Anarquía, English translation by Anarchist News

The bookstore closes

We've resisted during 16 years, but the moment has come where we can't keep accumulating losses and we're forced to close, with all that implies, mainly to our dreams, principles and efforts, but also to all of you, the people who came to see us and to furnish us with anarchist material, with whom we've created a great bond.

As they write on their website: for years, the Center…
