From Ill Will by Josep Rafanell i Orra

In December of 2025, a new journal appeared in France entitled À bas bruits [Under the Radar]. In the opening article of its first issue, Josep Rafanell i Orra argues that anarchism has always functioned as an escape route for communities fleeing the iron cage of society. Among the many competing conceptions of what an anarchist politics today could or should look like, Rafanell’s stance is anti-social, yet non-nihilist.

1. Last August, a widespread social uprising erupted in Indonesia. It began with demonstrations protesting tax hikes and pay raises for politicians. When the police killed the first person, the uprising escalated on August 28, and police stations and parliament buildings were set on fire, while politicians’ homes were looted. Can you say something about the conditions that led to the revolt at the end of last year?

Original title: Communique of Anarco-Nihilist Vegan Straight Edge Prisoners of the Susaron Case

Today in this cold season, still locked up in this small phosphorous box that aims to hide the beautiful immensity of the world, we continue to rise each morning to confront the symbolic and graphic cold morning shower of dawn in prison. Washing our bodies and teeth, with the conviction that this routinized morning dagger in the brain, cold like punishment, isn’t something that will be drawn out for all eternity.

The central offices of Oxiquim S.A. in Providencia, Santiago de Chile, were attacked with an anarchic attitude. The high-powered device failed to explode due to a surmountable technical detail, so let’s go for more.

From Aleph's Heretical Domain by Aleph Skoteinos

I decided that it might be worth my time to address some arguments against anarcho-nihilism, if mostly because I keep seeing them floating around. This is mostly in reference to arguments from non-anarchist communists, including Marxist-Leninists, but social-anarchists and standard issue anarcho-communists also tend to make similar arguments – either from first principle, as the case may be, or perhaps simply to take after the old “Anarcho-Bolsheviks” who thought that allying with the Soviet Union would save them after the suppression of Makhnovschina. In the process of this, however, we will not spend any time addressing any accusations of fascism, because in reference to our subject those are simply aesthetic slurs made with no consideration of the actual nature of their object, and as such can be dismissed out of hand.

From Aleph's Heretical Domain by Aleph Skoteinos

By indulging myself in the writings of Renzo Novatore, Italy’s most well-known exponent of individualist/egoist and nihilist anarchism, I came to notice a theme across these writings. Throughout his literary work, Novatore frequently used the term “pagan” or “paganism” as a way of describing the spirit of his ideas. I am fairly convinced that this was in practice probably a poetic affectation, on the grounds that Novatore was an atheist who, by his own terms, opposed religion. Then again, the terms in which he opposed religion are, much like Max Stirner and others before him, rather blatantly conditioned by the Christian understanding of what religion is. But beyond that, as a Pagan who is definitely interested in Novatore’s philosophy, and arguably aligns with it, I think I would derive some intellectual pleasure from examining the way Novatore talks about Paganism. And so, to further indulge myself, that’s what I’m going to do.
