TOTW: Forever Young

All that lives will inevitably die, but getting old is optional.

Anarchists take this challenge literally at times, joining the lineage of bombastic figures who meet an early grave, while most combat the aging process by staying “young at heart” despite their aching joints. To those who resist it, “growing up” often means trading away whimsy, delight, and Romantic notions of infinity for stress, alarm clocks, and tax forms. Anarchists have long made enemies with linear time—the type that makes you old—to escape its deleterious and conformist effects.

Chile: A death in action is an eternal call to struggle

From Dark Nights

Full title: Chile: A death in action is an eternal call to struggle. Letter to the comrades of Kyriakos and Marianna.

Kyriakos has left us, he died in an apartment last Thursday. Marianna is seriously wounded in the Evangelismos hospital. Both anarchist comrades present in different scenarios of the struggle. We receive the news with sadness and closeness because the last breath of her life could have been eventually also the last of several of us. Our feelings cannot be more than immense affection and admiration because we know that those who walk the path of the anarchist offensive are valuable and unique in their qualities, contradictions and contributions to the struggle.
