A Bash Back! reportback from a group of janky & rowdy queers

who had a gay old time

From Scenes from the Atlanta Forest

Bash Back! was nothing short of the joyfully militant & orgiastically unhinged gathering it advertised itself to be– queer AF, silly, sexy & sketchy antics ensued almost every day/nite. A lot of us felt held in an urban space where there was room to be all kinds of things & ways, & not much was taboo.

Fuck Bash Back! 23

From Bash Back

Fuck these middle aged organizers and their bullshit attempts to appease our rage. We will not be fucking stopped. Were you ever even nihilists?? You are almost as bad as the tiqqunists. We’re not some academic conference. So we’re saying no more workshops. All we want is orgies and actions. We want to be together and fight when we need to and wherever the fuck we want.

Saint-Imier 2023: The International Anarchist Meetings

From collettivoanarchico by FAI International Relations Commission

This summer, one of the most important international anarchist meetings of recent years, the Rencontres Internationales Antiautoritaires (RIA) “Anarchy 2023”, took place in Saint-Imier (Switzerland), from 19 to 23 July. Thousands of people from different continents participated, although a significant part came from French and German-speaking Europe. As the Italian Anarchist Federation – FAI, we have taken part in the meeting’s organizational process since 2020, and we attended with a large delegation, actively contributing by proposing debates, setting up an exhibition and holding a stand of Umanità Nova and Zero in Condotta editions in the book fair.

Report the Back, on the Seattle Anarchist Bookfair, annum 2023

Report the Back, wherein our heras brave the unknown, discover new and familiar faces, and dispense and receive tomes and witticisms

This report back is very partial as your guide did not themself attend any of the workshops, content to lurk behind books and zines, occasionally emerging only enough to thrust a text at someone who lingered too long or looked too inquisitive. Perhaps workshop goers will add their efforts in the comments below, so that we may all gain from their perspicacity.

Summer of anarchism in Ljubljana and St.Imier?

From Integration Nightmare

This July I managed to visit two big anarchist festivals – Balkan Anarchist Bookfair and Anarchy 2023 in St.Imier. The first event attracted hundreds of activists mostly from the Balkans and Western Europe, while the Swiss festival had more people from outside the EU.

From PM Press by Gabriel Kuhn, July 24, 2023

Yesterday, on July 23, one of the biggest anarchist gatherings of the 21st century ended in St. Imier, Switzerland. It was held (with a one-year delay due to Covid) at the 150th anniversary of Mikhail Bakunin and comrades founding a “Black International” there after they had been expelled from the First International.
