Germany: Annual Chaotic – Anarchist Meeting

Via Act for Freedom Now!

From the 13th to the 16th of April 2023 in Bielefeld.

We want anarchy. We want freedom and autonomy for all without domination and borders. We want the subversion of the existing. We want social revolution. So that our will and our ideas won‘t stay phrases without content, we have to confront ourselves with the surrounding reality—that is, with those conditions and this world in which we‘re forced to live here and now.

Anarchists in the CNT Congress

From A las barricadas by Acratosaurio rex, English translation by Anarchist News

I think anarchists, before resorting to gathering for the sake of gathering, which is like an ethnic and very prehistoric thing (searching for anarchists just because they’re anarchists), should make an analysis of their local reality, look for a concrete objective (susceptible to broadening and modifying), and based on that, look for people with common interests to launch the attack.

TOTW: Anarchist Speaking Tours and other adventures

Reading through some of the Emma Goldman archives, I’m reminded and amazed to see the amount of speaking tours Emma and friends held. At one point in time over six months, she traveled to 50 different cities in 18 different states, delivering over 150 lectures and debates and that's probably not even the biggest stat for this kind of information about her. During one of her discussions, over 1,800 people attended in a city that nowadays would be lucky to have 20 people attend an anarchist conversation.
