Attack on Automated Supermarket

from Act for freedom now!

In the early hours of Monday the 28th of February, a decision was made to make a dent in the glittering spectacle these laboratories of social control use to advertise themselves. In Greenwich, a recently opened fully-automated Aldi supermarket, was targetted. With rocks, hammers and paint, the entire glass facade was smashed and defaced.

Identity, nationalism and xenophobia at Freedom

We cannot leave the recent comment pieces in Freedom uncommented on. The first piece, “Fuck Leftist Westplaining” by Freedom editor, Zosia Brom (4th March), contained much that we politically and intellectually, disagreed with. While we have every sympathy for where it was coming from emotionally, unfortunately, any point that needed to be addressed was drowned out because it had been so heavily framed in identity politics. However, when this was compounded by the actual nationalism and xenophobia of the piece, A Thousand Red Flags by Darya Rustamova (7th March), a polite veil could no longer be drawn over the matter. We have long warned that the danger of identity politics was that it was leading the unwary into right wing territory.
