Announcing a new multilingual anarchist book distribution

Rupture – Multilingual anarchist book distro

https://rupture.noblogs.org/

The passion for freedom, as well as the firmness to refuse any attempt to commercialise it, has led us to create this space to host a catalogue of books by different anarchist publishers. Written or translated, edited, and printed autonomously, these publications aim to give a concrete and coherent reference to the analyses, history, struggles, and experiences that have – and continue to – nourish our anarchist projectuality.

Our selection will not be exhaustive but will gradually increase. One will not find every title from the anarchist heritage, as it is not our intention here to create a supermarket of anarchist ideas, theories, or perspectives – not necessarily because we are not interested in all the forms this can take, but because we are in love with the idea, proposal, and practice of subverting the world of authority without delay. The freedom that we stubbornly seek is against any political strategy, suspicious of democratic consensus, and refractory to submission. So, this selection, available to all, carries the explicit intention of proposing, deepening, and refining anarchist practice that aims for
social revolt, without mediation, without compromise, without anything to offer to the reform of this world.

At a time when perspectives of social revolution seem frozen in a sea of deliberate confusion, resigned fear, calculated catastrophes,
technological colonization, and authoritarian hysteria, we relaunch, even more obstinately, the words in these books about and for struggle, to invite their readers to sail towards new and unknown horizons of freedom, autonomy, solidarity, conflict, joy.

This book distribution offers publications in English, Dutch, and
German, available for single orders and for other distributions.

For anarchy!

Nota previa: Desde la RSAJM publicamos la primera edición de la revista “Tiempo de Luchar” construida -desde la cárcel y la calle- en febrero del año 2020 en momentos de revuelta en territorio chileno. El contenido de esta edición es acorde a la temporalidad descrita y se ha movido y presentado físicamente durante este último tiempo por distintas partes del territorio. Igualmente señalamos que en una realidad dinámica tensionada por los vaivenes de la lucha anticarcelaria, muchos aspectos teóricos/prácticos y humanos que confluyeron en la realización de este primer número hoy han variado. Más allá de aquello, seguimos manteniendo lo esencial de nuestro espacio como continuidad inequívoca de un combate cotidiano contra el estado, la cárcel y el capital. Sin más, dejamos para su libre difusión y reproducción esta publicación que ha sido también en directa solidaridad con lxs compañerxs presxs subversivxs y anarquistas en lucha en las cárceles chilenas.

Editorial

Solidaridad anticarcelaria y conflicto antiestatal permanente

“Las cárceles hoy y siempre son las armas de castigo que utiliza el poder para cualquiera que atente contra la propiedad privada, los explotadores se sirven de los aparatos represivos. Para perpetuar sus privilegios manteniendo el orden y las leyes en que cobijan, su asqueroso status quo. (…) Es hora de actuar, en la cotidianeidad con nuestros afines, por la destrucción de la sociedad carcelaria y de cualquier intento social de reformar este asqueroso sistema de muerte. La solidaridad no debe jamás ser una consigna vacía, sino una acción cotidiana de enfrentamiento con el poder y un apoyo constante a lxs hermanxs secuestrados en esta guerra a muerte”.
-Mauricio Morales, anarquista de praxis.

“Depuis l’émergence des cités, la puissance économique a
fondamentalement toujours marché sur les mêmes deux pieds : énergie et extraction. De l’esclavage au nucléaire, le progrès économique additionne les sources énergétiques qui confèrent toujours plus de puissance aux dominants, et vice versa, car c’est l’exploitation des sources énergétiques qui alimente directement la domination. A l’instar de l’extraction du pétrole qui a libéré une vertigineuse force énergétique, vieille de millions d’années, donnant des dimensionsinouïes à l’industrialisme et à la guerre à l’échelle mondiale, l’économie numérique et électrifiée dépend de la vitesse d’extraction des métaux qui lui sont nécessaires. Ainsi se dessinent les lignes de front où sont et seront menées de terribles batailles. Chambouler leurs prévisions, transformer les occasions et situations en facteurs de désordre et d’imprévu, scruter ces lignes de front où l’ennemi se montre certes confiant, mais cependant plus vulnérable qu’ailleurs, se jeter dans les conflits qui se dessinent en y apportant sans tarder l’action directe, voilà des cris de bataille qui pourraient nous mettre
activement sur les traces de l’ennemi.”

Breaking: Thanks to the comrade who alerted us to a necessary intervention into the supplement text we released a few days ago with Return Fire vol.6 chap.3: Ruby Katherine Montoya, the saboteur mentioned in passing in the text, has since the time of its writing been exposed as co-operating with the FBI against her co-defendant, and possibly more. It was already clear that, while responsible for important action, this was not what we would consider a comrade; but this information felt important to include. Hence, we’ve updated the text (also on theanarchistlibrary.org) and are now reposting the corrected file here, including the imposed version.

Additionally, we did not notice that an error during the PDF compression process wiped the graphics out of various pages of Return Fire vol.6 chap.3 itself. This has now be amended, both in the reading version and optional separated covers for re-printing, with corrections to a couple of other errors we spotted too late. Apologies for our sloppiness.

More in the pipeline.

“The sulphorous aroma of the combustion of petrol and is derivatives, causes an unmistakable olfactory sensation that incites a certain transitory state of euphoria and unconsciously sends us a succession of associated images that produce infinte pleasure: a burning precinct, a prison reduced to ashes, a conglomerate of charred atennas, a torched patrol car or a beautiful charred shopping centre. This becoming-fire -which lights up the night- causes a liberating commotion that no other means, no war machine, can bring about. A gesture is innovated that makes anarchy perceptible through the flames of devastation.”

– Gustavo Rodríguez

“Le réchauffement climatique, le pic des combustibles fossiles, la fonte des glaces, la disparition de la biodiversité, la déforestation et la désertification, les ouragans et les déluges, tout en étant des
phénomènes aux conséquences éminemment planétaires, n’annoncent pourtant probablement pas l’apocalypse planétaire finale, l’effondrement de l’État et du capital partout sur la planète. Mais ce ne sont pas moins des phénomènes bien réels : ils sont en train de modifier les sociétés humaines, et de redessiner les terrains d’affrontement et de lutte. Des études des assurances aux rapports stratégiques militaires, des projets menés par les grosses entreprises énergétiques aux recherches menées dans les laboratoires : dans toutes les salles de commande qui pilotent
la course en avant de cette civilisation-titanic, on prend acte des
changements qui sont en cours et qui s’annoncent.

Loin des conférences mondiales telles que celles dédiées au climat qui viennent confesser publiquement l’obsolescence politique face à l’ampleur du changement climatique, et pendant que des gens
bien-intentionnés continuent à implorer des mesures fortes, des
centaines de milliers d’experts préparent un avenir avec changement climatique, avec réchauffement de la planète, avec pénurie de matières premières, avec pandémies facilitées par l’urbanisation, la mobilité motorisée et la globalisation.

In Defence of Associative Specificity – Concerning (Inherently) Anarchist “Sectarianism” Part I.

——————————————————————————

From anarquia.info, translated by Act for Freedom Now!

According to the Diccionario de uso del español¹ María Moliner,² it is defined as:

Sect: Doctrine taught by a teacher and followed by his adepts. Particularly, the doctrine and the group of its adepts. desp. Doctrine considered erroneous, or that departs from the traditional or official, and, especially, that which is considered pernicious for its followers: “Destructive sect”. A group of the followers of a sect.
Sectarian: -a (adv. sectarian) 1 adj. and n. (of) Follower of a certain sect. 2 Applied to one who fanatically follows a doctrine, and its attitude, opinions, etc. → *Intransigent, * partisan.
Sectarianism: m. Quality or attitude of sectarian.

[London,] November 23, 1871 “[…] The International was founded in order to replace the Socialist or semi-Socialist sects by a real organisation of the working class for struggle […], the Internationalists could not have maintained themselves if the course of history had not already smashed up the sectarian system […] So long as the sects are (historically) justified, the working class is not yet ripe for an independent historic movement. As soon as it has attained this maturity all sects are essentially reactionary. […] And the history of the International was a continual struggle on the part of the General Council against the sects […] At the end of 1868 the Russian, Bakunin, entered the International with the aim of forming inside it a second International called the  “Alliance of Social Democracy”.  Bakunin – a  man  devoid of theoretical knowledge – put forward the pretension that this separate body was to represent the scientific propaganda of the International, which was to be made the special function of this second International within the International. His program was a superficially scraped together hash of petty bourgeouis ideas from here and there: […] atheism as a dogma to be dictated to the members of the International, etc., and as the main dogma, (Proudhonist) abstention from the political movement. This children’s fable found favour (and still has a certain hold) in Italy and Spain […] and among a few vain, ambitious and empty doctrinaires in French Switzerland and Belgium […] Resolutions 1(2) and (3) and IX now give the New York committee legal weapons with which to put an end to all sectarian formations and amateur groups and if necessary to expel them […]”

1. Marx, Letter to Friedrich Bolte, November 23, 1871 (1).

Since the defeat of Spanish anarcho-syndicalism, reiteration is a frequent occurrence in the babelic context in which the life of the so-called “anarchist movement” painfully takes place.(2) As if it were Groundhog Day,(3) we are condemned to repeat the same experience indefinitely. Again and again, ideological displacements and external conceptualizations gain presence in our shops. Thus – once again -, the notions of “sect”, “sectarianism” and “sectarian” emerge in the debate. We do not have the slightest chance of escaping this vicious circle. Like Phil Connors (Bill Murray) in the famous comedy, every day we are hit with the same song (at six o’clock in the morning!), forced to repeat ourselves in an infinite cycle from which not even suicide can save us.

AT BLOWS WITH THE STATE: Shaping Territory and Affinity During the Revolt ( A martillazos con el Estado: Conjugando el territorio y la afinidad durante la revuelta)

The scuffles with normality advanced one after the other until they became so complex that it was impossible not to realize that we were facing a revolt. It was not only the structures of capital that were burning, nor was it just windows or cop cars that were shattering all at once. Something else was cracking, a crack that allowed the dying order of authority to literally fall apart at our feet.

It is into precisely this crack and its first bits of rubble that we want to delve more deeply–opening up questions that aren’t necessarily new and might not even have answers so that we ourselves, comrades from other territories, and comrades in other historical moments may discover some hints to confront our own contexts. We do not fear questions without answers, but rather failing to ask enough questions or abandoning the correct ones.

The riots in Rotterdam (and shooting people by the cops there) happened just too late to still be analyzed or celebrated or…. But, luckily enough tasty things did make it to the paper. Good tips to destroy your mobile phone, a callout to refuse the corona pass, and also a conversation on the anarcho-blocks at demonstrations, ideas on housing struggle and of course lots of news from far away and really nearby. It has not been quiet in the world of pandemics, disasters, control, and exploitation, so we shouldn’t be quiet either.

Here it is: #5 English digitaal
