TOTW: Decentralized Anarchist Gatherings

The anarchist bookfair (or is it book fair?) is a staple of the anarchist tradition. Despite the contradiction of a presumably anti-capitalist event centered around selling books, anarchist bookfairs are perhaps the primary way anarchists from wider regions gather face-to-face and spend time together (as well as spend $$$).

Taxation is Theft: An Anarchist Guide to Taxation

From Center for a Stateless Society by Logan Marie Glitterbomb

“Tax the rich” is an all too common refrain on the left which, thanks to left unity, has even been echoed by many self-proclaimed anarchists. “Taxation is theft” on the other hand is a slogan many anarchists are hesitant to repeat due to its association with right-libertarians despite it being far more consistent with anarchist ideals. When taxation is the main funding source for the military police state with only crumbs going towards an extremely inadequate welfare plantation system, why would anarchists want any more funding to go towards that no matter who’s fronting the bill?

“Red Mutualism” Series at Mutualism Co-Op

From Center for a Stateless Society by Eric F.

With this series I am attempting to even further bridge the gap that Carson and Price have worked toward closing and to further reunite market anarchism with its context as part of the socialist political movement and working class economic struggle. As an anarchist, I of course remain highly critical of state socialists, but I do see the sense, at least in particular contexts, in market socialist Richard Wolff’s call for a combined Proudhonian-Marxist approach involving both bottom-up and top-down changes. I look toward ways in which these leftist cross-ideological efforts can help create net reductions in state power and progress against economic exploitation.

Czechia: Release of Existence # 1/2024

From Anarchistické federace
April 10, 2024

There is an ongoing discussion within the Anarchist Federation (AF) about gender balance in our media since the spring, when the issue dedicated to J. Hašek was published. The truth is that the majority of the texts published in our revues are by men, and men often play a central role in the texts themselves. We have therefore decided that in the future we will try to focus on this disproportion and eliminate it as much as possible. Furthermore, young queer people have expanded our ranks, and with their arrival, debates about the language we use have intensified.

Squatters will stay inside a Gordon Ramsay pub in London until they are evicted, according to a friend of those locked inside the building.

The group shut themselves in the York & Albany near Regent's Park, north London, last week.

Lawyers for Gordon Ramsay Holdings International Limited (GRHI) have since got a High Court order securing possession of the premises.
