The weekend of Friday August 15th through August 17th marked the renewal of a specifically anarchist presence among people of color in the Northwest. The gathering took place in Portland, Oregon over a three-day period. Around twenty people of color from all over the region attended the gathering coming from as far away as Eugene and Bellingham. Olympia, Seattle and Portland were also represented at the event. The focus of the weekend was to define what an APOC (Anarchist People of Color) organization looks like, specifically in the context of the Northwest, and also to define what it means to be part of an APOC identity. ...

MSU professor feels philosophy critical subject. ---- One of Jun’s primary research interests is anarchism in contemporary political philosophy, the subject on which he wrote his dissertation. ---- In a world that revolves around math, science and business, philosophy remains a critical academic subject. “In my opinion,” said newly hired Midwestern State University philosophy professor Nathan Jun, “the major problem facing this country right now is not economic or political or moral, it’s intellectual. ---- “A lot of people don’t think, and I think it’s because they don’t know how. And sadly, a lot of those people actually sort of have a bombastic pride about the fact that they don’t think and ...

Ils sont à Vichy, soyons pirates! Leur politique s'étend à tout le territoire, nous saurons protester partout où nous serons. En l'état de la campagne sur Vichy et de ses forces contestataires, le Csdasp (Tours, 37) juge inopportun de se rendre tous pour une "grand-messe" spectaculaire en banlieue de Vichy les 3 et 4 novembre prochains. C'est pourquoi nous ne nous y rendrons pas. Par contre, nous appelons lors de ces deux jours, à ce que les organisations qui ...

Het Irish Socialist Network praat tegen een half dozijn andere groepen over eenheid. De Socialist Workers Party, altijd gehaast, wil eenvoudigweg dat ieder ander zich aansluit bij hun People Before Profit creatie. Iedere paar jaar zien we het zelfde spel ?waarom sluit het Judean Peoples Front zich niet aan bij het Judean Popular Front?? Uit Workers Solidarity 105 ---- Over de zee waren de Schotse Socialistische Party en George Galloway?s RESPECT coalitie de laatste voorbeelden van ?socialistische eenheid?. Beide scheurden uiteen toen massieve ego?s vochten om leiders van kleine partijen te zijn. ---- Interessant is dat er, na deze rampen, geen discussie is over wat voor soort ?socialisme? wordt ...

Op zaterdagavond 27 september om zeven uur heb ik een tekst voorgelezen waarbij ik verklaar in geen geval militaire dienstplicht te zullen vervullen. De verklaring vond plaats bij Sultanahmet bij het graf van sjeik Bedreddin - een 15e eeuwse Ottomaanse rebelse soefi die een hemel op aarde voorstelde waarin mensen alles gelijk zouden delen en die is vervolgd vanwege zijn primitieve communistische soefi rebellie - waar 30 mensen aanwezig waren, allemaal bedankt beste vrienden - en ik heb een kopie van de tekst met wat bloemen achtergelaten bij Bedreddin's graf. Ik heb mijn gewetensbezwaren aangekondigd tegenover sjeik Bedreddin, mijn vrienden en de nacht en nu deel ik het met jullie. ...

"Funk the War! Yes, we can! Disco beats are back again!" ---- ON MARCH 19TH'S UNPRECEDENTED DAY OF MASS DIRECT ACTION IN WASHINGTON DC AGAINST the occupation of Iraq, the core of the largest and most militant action - among a whole field of radical and brave departures from the anti-war norm - was a red wagon, a car battery, an mp3 player, and a 300 watt speaker. And a guy in a polar bear costume. And women in fairy wings. And glitter. And paint balloons. And 600 kids from all over the US roving through the streets of DC, blocking traffic at will, dancing into war-profiteer's offices, mussing up the facade of a military recruiting station (twice), and locking down in intersections in complete ...

On the 21/03/08 the Anti-Authoritarian Autonomous Action (Ada-kiprus), took part in an event for the opening of Ledra street border which has been a symbol of separation between Greek speaking Cypriots and Turkish speaking Cypriots when the UN drew a line with a green pencil. A banner was brought that wrote "No Borders No Nations No Armies". The police at first tried to stop us putting it up but the people complained and the banner was set up on the left side of the event. Small cardboard banners where put up with slogans like "here is Berlin", "Our only nation is all of earth", "all governments are fake-governments" and "We want Ekmek Kateifi(Turkish cake)". Also, fliers where given out which wrote: ...

The struggle this week was "colored" with the olive picking season. Israelis of the wider coalition of opponents of the occupation which include the anarchists against the wall initiative were invited by villages who were usually harassed by Israeli state forces and neighboring colonialist settlers. In Bil'in, soldiers objected to the combining of the weekly demonstration against the separation fence with picking olive on the other side of the fence. In Ni'ilin, a big crowd of Israelis and Palestinians faced the regular harassment in spite of previous permit. In Um Salmuna, after the usual Friday demonstration the AAtW contingent joined the struggle in Beit Umar. Saturday, olive picking at Asira ...

Others braved the soldiers and broke across the dirt track marking the route of what will become Israel’s separation barrier and to the olive fields below. Three were detained and two needed treatment for tear gas inhalation. The Israeli army may claim to have devised a plan to ensure the peace during the olive harvest in the occupied West Bank, but in Ni’lin, on ...

Torino: vittoria dei Raja al 1° Torneo di Calcio all'Alpino Si è concluso con un emozionante golden goal il primo Torneo di Calcio all'Alpino, svoltosi sabato 11 ottobre nel cuore di Porta Palazzo. Per oltre quattro ore dieci squadre si sono sfidate nel campo allestito di fianco al Palafuksas, tra tifo scatenato, scommesse e iscrizioni clandestine. I vincitori, una squadra di ragazzi di Casablanca, distintisi per agonismo e indubbia superiorità tecnica, si sono aggiudicati l'ambito trofeo: un autentico cappello da alpino. La polizia, presente con forze degne di un derby cittadino, si è poco ...

eine Veranstaltungsreihe in Zürich ---- 22. Oktober – 1. November 2008 ---- Droht mit dem Versagen neoliberaler Wirtschaftskonzepte nun die totale Anarchie? ---- Rechtzeitig zur Finanzkrise und der Entlarvung der Schein-Werte des nun verblassenden gesellschaftlichen Systems, präsentieren die Zürcher AnarchistInnen eine genussreiche Alternative. Nein, nicht die allseits gefürchtete Faustrecht-Anarchie ist damit gemeint. Genau das wurde mit dem Konzept der ‚freien’ Konkurrenz schon zur Genüge durchexerziert und war offensichtlich kein Segen für die ...

Let's make girl love real, okay?"- Kathleen Hanna ---- TO MAKE GIRL LOVE REAL, WE NEED TO GET OVER GIRL HATE. CATTINESS AND bitchy attitudes toward other women are an everyday experience of many American women, and for some reason it is rarely questioned or thought of as a problem. ---- Our whole lives, the society and culture we live in have taught us that it is acceptable for women to hate each other. is is really convenient for the patriarchal men that run the system we live in, since it is one more thing that allows them to divert our attention ...

Organise!*, WSM*, trade unions and various political activists picketed a Subway restaurant in Belfast today in support of sacked Polish worker Natalia Szymanska. The protest at the Subway restaurant on Great Victoria Street in central Belfast was, despite the poor weather, attended by around 60-70 people, during what should have been the fast-food outlet's busy lunch-hour, all showing their solidarity with Natalia. Passers-by and customers were informed of the nature of the protest and urged not to support Subway until Natalia was reinstated and reimbursed for the earnings lost as a result of her sacking. Natalia was sacked while 5 months pregnant following a spurious claim that she ...
