A roundup of Italy’s ‘Scripta Scelera’ raids
Solidarity spaces raided, presses stolen and homes invaded - anarchists are feeling the full force of Meloni-era repression after police went after a radical newspaper using anti-mafia and anti-terror legislation.

The below article, adapted from a translation of a piece in Alasbarricadas, looks at what happened in the Tuscan

Anarchism in #Chile
"This is the fourth of a short series that we dedicate to the memory of Chile’s revolutionaries on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the 1973 military coup d’état against the Chilean revolution and the government of Salvador Allende.
(...=
A story is told of Salvador Allende, and by him, that as a young man and student in Valparaíso, Chile, he would seek the company after school of an old Italian anarchist and shoe maker, Juan Demarchi, from whom he received his first political education."

How do I as an autistic trans woman with crippling social anxiety and limited access to transportation advocate for and spread anticapitalist thought in my local community? (Or just throughout the country (US in my case, good luck we need it)) I'm seriously asking for advice here, paleontology is my forte, not this. #anticapitalism #anarchism #socialism #communism #localgovernment

Today in Labor History September 11, 1916: The trial of labor activist Warren Billings began in San Francisco on trumped up charges stemming from the San Francisco Preparedness Day parade bombing on July 22. As a result of the bombing, 10 people died and 40 were injured. Not surprisingly, only anarchists were suspected in the bombing. A few days after the bombing, they searched and seized materials from the offices of “The Blast,” Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman’s local paper. Billings and his codefendant Tom Mooney were wrongly convicted. They served 23 years in prison and were released in 1939. Governor Edmund G. Brown pardoned them in 1961.

Education is an important element in the struggle for human rights. It is the means to help our children and our people rediscover their identity and thereby increase their self respect. Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs only to the people who prepare for it today.

It's interesting how politicised YouTube's #algorithm is. I watch a lot of #motorcycle, #travel and urban design videos, and it's happy to recommend them. More recently I've been watching #lgbt, relationship and #anarchism videos and it's started giving me loads of #military, #conspiracy and #guns videos for some reason instead. #YouTube

Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're privileges. That's all we've ever had in this country, is a bill of temporary privileges.

"In a neighborhood where the walls are covered with anarchist posters, beautiful radical graffiti stands alongside all the usual tags, advertisements never stay up for long, the windows of luxury cars, banks, and gentrifying apartments or restaurants are never safe, and people hang out drinking and talking on the street corners and in the parks, our ideas will be seriously discussed outside our own narrow circles, and the state would need a major counterinsurgency operation to have just the hope of uprooting us."

'Whenever we can break their little laws with impunity, we show that the State is weak. When advertising is defaced and public space is liberated, we show that capitalism is not absolute."

这个会说、会写、会读的阶级 并不寻求 废除 主宰秩序 —— 只是想要改善它，让 剥削 显得 “人性化”一点，让 不公正不平 等看起来更“民主” —— 因为人们不再想要反抗，而是为阶级攀升、攀附、依附、后门路子、人脉资产、甚至自嘲，而着迷；同时让该阶级在压迫性秩序中占据着更有利的地位，这使得互联网上的口号与大多数人所生活的现实形象截然不同 ……

Vulgar libertarian apologists... seem to have trouble remembering, from one moment to the next, whether they're defending actually existing capitalism or free market principles.

The Communist power installed itself by military force, not only when the Bolsheviks occupied a place after a battle to drive out the Petliurists, but also in places where the region was already free and the peasants were on their own.

Today in Labor History September 10, 1898: Anarchist Luigi Lucheni assassinated Empress Elisabeth of Austria with a sanded-down file. The authorities promptly caught Lucheni. He claimed he had come to Geneva to kill any sovereign as an example for others (Propaganda by the Deed). He said he used the file because he couldn’t afford a stiletto. During his trial, he discovered that capital punishment had been banned in Geneva. Furious, he demanded that his trial be moved to a less civilized canton so he could be martyred. On October 19, 1910, he was found hanged in his cell. The authorities cut off his head and stuck it into formaldehyde and transferred to Vienna, where it was put on display in the Narrenterm pathology museum. They displayed it there until 2000.

You really can't make shit like this up. Next week zoe baker is doing a talk at freedom books in london to promote and discuss her new book on anarchist history. She'll be remote videoing into the event, but freedom doesn't have a mask enforcement policy and isn't letting other people remote video into the event... So zoe will be the only shielding person (kind of, through a computer) welcome at the event. Hear that kids? If you lick the nondisabled boot hard enough and get famous enough they'll let you videochat into your own book launch (but they still won't wear masks to allow you to participate in society or keep you alive, be realistic) 😂

i would @ any of the people involved in this debacle but zoe is still only using twitter and freedom's masto seems to be an unmonitored crossposter 🤷‍♀️

Sooooo, 98by30 then? Time to dissolve the nation states, unionise the corporations, turn them into massive coops, and expand autonomus mutual aid networks, methinks.

While judging me judge all the unfortunate who poverty, combined with natural pride, made criminals, and who wealth or ease would have made honest men. An intelligent society would have made of them men like any other!

Skate, not State
"As such, skateboarding shares a kinship with alternative scenes like hip-hop, punk, DIY culture and anarchism. Indeed, the circled A appears regularly on skateboard artwork. It could also be argued that how they positively and trans-legally reclaim and repurpose public and private spaces is definitely a trait shared with more practical, community-minded anarchists.

An initiative in Doncaster is taking this one step further. A newly formed workers’ cooperative made up of skateboarders — many of whom also volunteer at the nearby Bentley Urban Farm, an “upcycled community market garden” itself run along anarchist principles — have taken over Twisted, an indoor skatepark in the shadow of Doncaster’s notorious “Doncatraz” prison. The co-op also includes members of A Commune in the North (ACitN), who have used their experience of cooperatives to build the framework for this new worker co-op."
