Support revolutionary media struggling inside Russia

Autonomous Action in Tyumen of Siberian back in the better days

Autonomous Action is an organisation of anarchists and libertarian communists, founded in year 2002. Our goal is to create basis for a new culture, based on self-organisation, radical resistance against capitalism, fascism, militarism, sexism, homophobia and any other forms of discrimination. We are currently working to restore libertarian and anarchist movement in Russia, after a period of stagnation and repressions. We reach for this goal by establishing libertarian media, organizing online and offline discussions, participation to protest movements and supporting them via spreading information.

Joint Communiqué in Solidarity w/ Giannis Michailidis & Mapuche Hunger Strike

"From the territory occupied by the Chilean State, to the Greek region. From pikun mapu, to wallmapuche. Words from the Chilean prisons by Juan, Mónica, Francisco, Joaquín and Marcelo"

From the territory occupied by the Chilean State, to the Greek region directly to the heart of comrade Giannis Michailidis, we send a subversive and anarchic hug alongside all the internationalist fraternity in permanent revolt, with all the strength of the memory in resistance and attack to the rotten world of capitalist normality.

TOTW: Not anarchist

Topic of the Week: Not anarchist

Topic of the Week – Here at Anarchist News, we sometimes receive article submissions that are not anarchist, don’t mention the anarchist word, and come from more of a leftist space. Often, these texts mention related words like “radical,” “anti-authoritarian,” “anti-capitalist,” “anti-state,” and “antifa” or talk about subjects that are of interest to anarchists, but not specifically by or about anarchists.

Anarchist Zines & Pamphlets Published in July 2022

From Sprout Distro

The following zines were published over the last month. We try to cast a wide net with these, so as always, we may not agree with everything contained within. Thanks to those who publish zines, those who print and distribute them, those who read these posts, and those who try to spread anarchy. <3

Solidarity with Giannis Michailidis

In a world that is ever more satisfied within their own digital information bubbles, we smile when we imagine the faithful ortodox churchgoers arriving at their recently painted church to see the stains of our paint bombs and Giannis Michailidis' name, that made its way to this corner of the world by way of this simple gesture. Nothing is over, nothing stops for those who embrace anarchy, the path is infinite, and so is the struggle, comrade Giannis has already caused a good dose of chaos, now it's our turn. Reading more and more anarchist news doesn't make you an anarchist. Causing anarchy, making it, gets you closer to that.

Review- ‘Makhno: Ukrainian Freedom Fighter’

Review- ‘Makhno: Ukrainian Freedom Fighter’

From Aotearoa Workers Solidarity Movement by Urcuchillay

Ukraine has become a focus of attention lately due to the war there. For many this will be a temporary and superficial interest, related to the duration of that conflict and media interest in it. Clashes between nation-states and their elites is a deeply saddening feature of today’s world. Such a war brings up the question whether some better alternative is available? There are contemporary alternatives, but its also possible to look at the past for inspiration. In the case of Ukraine, there is a set of interesting historical events that do provide bits and pieces that suggest another way of being.

Italian Anarchist Federation Statement on the War in Ukraine

From Anarchist Communist Group UK

ACG comments:
Whilst the ACG approves of this Manifesto overall, internal discussions have highlighted some concerns over the use of the term “revolutionary defeatism”. We feel that the document would benefit from either clearer definition of what is meant by the term, or possibly the use of a different term. For us ‘revolutionary defeatism’ can only mean a refusal to call off the class war in the name of ‘national unity’ during a war between states. However it is possible to interpret ‘revolutionary defeatism’ as meaning that the organised working class within a state should work towards the military defeat of that state’s national forces by an enemy state.

“Car Culture”: Just Stop

"Fire that destroyed nearly 4,000 cars at RSW rental lot, causing $100M in damage ruled an accident"

[T]the point is that a future anarchist society with an irrelevantly small fleet of automobiles is entirely possible, without the need to prohibit automobiles in a rather un-anarchic way. I should expect this fleet to comprise farm trucks and other utilitarian vehicles, a handful of emergency vehicles, and a bewildering array of pleasure vehicles, sports cars, specials, speedsters, motorcycles, trikes, motorsport vehicles, off-road vehicles, and all manner of rolling artworks the significations of which are incomprehensible outside their specific contexts — and that is not only perfectly fine, it is vibrancy, creativity, expression, and fun. There is no need to maintain the least semblance of sneering contempt lest suffering all this to exist result in smog, exurban isolation, and pandemic road deaths all over again. That much should be obvious, if popular car culture does not cause institutional car culture.

Parcel Bomb Sent to CEO of Weapons Company in Rome, Italy

From Act for Freedom Now!

The horrors of war move sensitie souls. Instead, we are reminded that it is injustice that dominates this world. The mangled bodies are always those of the poor people, it’s never a rich man to die, to lose a hand.
