A wall of electronic eyes replacing human feeling

From Freedom News UK by Rob Ray

We’re caught in a lose-lose situation in the modern media world: refusal lessens our reach, engaging sets us up as targets

A couple of friends of mine, hailing from an end of the anarchist scene where skipping and shoplifting are more common, were telling me about their experiences from this venerable part of the rebel lifestyle recently.

Victory to the mass hunger strike for Palestine Action – Let’s crush the alliance 1+3

From Act for Freedom Now by Dimitris Chatzivasiliadis (Greece)

Since the 2nd of November, a rolling collective hunger strike has been taking place in  British prisons against the UK’s involvement in the colonial war in Palestine and the  crackdown on the Palestine Action organisation. Thirty-three prisoners have committed themselves in advance, Amu Gib and Qesser Zuhrah were the first to start, and gradually the  number of strikers is increasing. The struggle inside the prisons has already gone international, with the participation of comrades Massimo Passamani and Luca Dolce (Italy).

Obituary: Samuel Paradiso

From Bristol Radical History Group

Samuel Paradiso was brought up in the Fishponds area of east Bristol. His love of his ‘manor’ played a large part in his life, ranging from his legendary ‘border patrols’, checking no one from BS5 had sneaked into BS16, to the local history in his website ‘Boy from Fishponds’. He knew Fishponds inside out and revelled in directing me around using secret short cuts, telling me stories of its hidden heroes and showing me the concealed ‘Lido’ that once had a bar on stilts, or so they say.

From Dark Nights

Back to Basics: 325 and the Renewed Critique of Technological Civilisation

From Global Network on Extremism and Technology by Mauro Lubrano

This Insight examines the return of 325, an insurrectionary anarchist zine, and the renewed prominence of anti-technology positions in its 13th issue, titled “Back to Basics.” This 76-page-long document, originally released in March 2025 with the PDF online version circulating later in September, articulates a worldview that regards advanced technologies not as neutral tools but as a totalising system of domination, a “mega-machine” that both enslaves and alienates. This framing has increasingly tangible consequences as similar narratives appear in communiqués claiming attacks on technology-related infrastructure and supply chains. The current trajectory of insurrectionary anarchist anti-tech discourse and practice reflects a deeper unease with the accelerating pace of technological change that intersects with pre-existing anarchist, primitivist, and eco-extremist traditions.

Colin Ward Festival of Anarchic Ideas, Tactics & Action, Oct. 18

From Kairos

To explore the work of author and social theorist Colin Ward, we're holding a day-long festival of anarchic thinking, strategising and making. Through short talks, discussions and workshops, we’ll consider how his pragmatic anarchism could help us create alternative spaces in the city, and build infrastructures of mutual aid, autonomy and resistance.

Confessions of a Communard: The rocky road to collective change

From Doncopolitan

Some of the obstacles which have kept me from writing more regularly have been personal issues around mental health, then there is the sheer amount of work involved with building an ambitious anarchist project in the belly of the beast, but in the main my absence has been due to to the commune-wide process of transitioning from years of individualistic, neoliberal conditioning to a more collectivist mindset and lifestyle.
