Active Distribution Publishing: So far in 2025

From Active Distribution Publishing

Ok so I’m slipping a bit with the website updates! So far this year we’ve released 14 new titles, 6 new versions of anarchist classics and reprinted a bunch of our better selling titles. The new titles include; The Romanian Right by Hirtsui Parai-Pana a look at the misery of Romanian politics. This inspired us to doa new version of Fredy Perlman’s The Continuing Appeal of Nationalism for which we came up with a classic looking new cover, featuring some Romanian fascist clerics.

Bad History

From Collective of Anarchist Writers

I wrote this before Luigi Mangione shot the CEO of United Healthcare. Such an act, totally unpredictable but ripping open the seams of this world to instantiate possibility in the present, is a beautiful act—not historical, since it breaks with this world and cannot be contained by time.

Why do we tell ourselves history? Why this pious agreement that being informed about history, along with politics, makes us somehow better, smarter, aware?

from Eco-Revolt by Julian Langer
