Racist concepts

From Kurdish-Speaking Anarchist Forum (KAF)

This article is about some concepts in Kurdish that are racist, their use is either ignorant or intentional. As an anarchist, I need to confront and reject those who use it for whatever purpose...

Syria: Weekly highlights 02.02.25 – 08.02.25

From Têkoşîna Anarşîst

About the Syrian revolution, by Lebanese writer and anarchist Elia Ayoub

The Syrian revolution started off as a bottom-up, working class uprising from the peripheries organised through local coordination committees. They set up local councils throughout the liberated areas that coordinated to provide services in the absence of a state.
