DAWN RAY’D – The fire has gone out, but the flame burns on

From anarkism.info/
September 19, 2023

If you’re lucky, you’ll experience occasions during your lifetime when a band comes along that’s like no other. A band whose music is impossible to replace. The band fills a gap you didn’t know existed. Dawn Ray’d was one such band. Their uncompromising blend of message, vision and music, of love/anger, light/dark, was exceptional. Only Godspeed You! Black Emperor could match Dawn Ray’d’s expression.

UK: Letter from anarchist prisoner Toby Shone for comrade Alfredo M. Bonanno

From Dark Nights

Farewell, Alfredo

I heard today by telephone as the morning winter sun shone through grey clouds into the confines of my cell that our comrade Alfredo Bonanno passed away during sleep surrounded by the love of his close ones. I too send my incendiary embrace to all those who feel his loss and assert that a combative memory will remain. Alfredo’s contributions to the anarchist movement are undeniable, critical, insightful, and prescient.

From Freedom News UK

“Fuck power – and let’s just take care of each other. Most people know that politics is failing. The problem is they can’t imagine an alternative. They lack confidence. I simply blanked out all the advertising, turned off the ‘tell-lie-vision’, and started thinking for myself. Then I really started to meet people – and trust me, there is nothing as great as meeting people who are getting on with their lives. Running farms, schools, shops and even economies in communities where no one has power. That’s why I’m an anarchist.”

From Domani (machine translation to English)

His name will not mean much to the general public, but for part of the variegated anarchist world, Alfredo Maria Bonanno was much more than a point of reference. He died this morning, Wednesday 6 December, in Trieste, he was 86 years old: the news gradually spread among friends and companions, informed by his wife. The comrades themselves remember him today for his rigor in searching for original texts by anarchist theorists and for the logic pursued in the discussions.
