(Chile) Mauricio Morales en el mapa de la ofensiva anarquista internacional (ES/EN)

Desde Informativo Anarquista, proyecto de contra información, escribimos estas palabras a 15 años de la muerte en acción del compañero Mauricio Morales, Punki Mauri.

 *

La muerte es un acontecimiento que nos aleja inevitablemente del cuerpo de quien ha dejado de vivir. Pero tan rápido como el cuerpo se marchita, el imaginario común gira a la aurora y despliega el hecho culmine de la muerte hacia cientos, sino miles, de recuerdos, testimonios y acciones que forjan en la piel una vitalidad capaz de impulsar un corazón que late en todas direcciones.

La memoria no es un ejercicio de unanimidad ni de plenitud homogénea. No siempre tiene los mismos puntos de referencia ni las mismas explicaciones. Lo que sí, es colectiva, a la vez que integra matices y particularidades que responden a lugares propios, a voces solitarias o sueltas, que convergen y se encuentran en determinadas ocasiones entre unas y otras. En tal sentido, la memoria anárquica ha sido un punto de conexión, un motivo de encuentro que da paso a la búsqueda y al acercamiento de afinidades con las decisiones y caminos que unx compañerx construyó en vida.

Open letter from Return Fire magazine to the 2024.03.29-31 International Anti-Prison / Anti-Repression Gathering -UK

[A4 PDF version for printing]

The event aims to be an informal and self-organised gathering of activists, representatives and delegates from groups active in the prisoner solidarity / anti-prison / anti-repression struggle, one focused on the consolidation of international solidarity…”

second call-out for the International Anti-Prison / Anti-Repression Gathering, Brighton

Hi comrades, known and unknown to us.

We welcome this initiative, and send our love and gratitude to all gathering in Brighton with the aim of together building a more durable and combative struggle against the authoritarian nightmare of the present-day. From the limits of our own capacity, we’d like to offer some thoughts; reflections that have been born from decades of shared struggle and over 10 years of publishing our magazines with a strong presence of anti-repression/anti-prison documentation and agitation. (This has included putting out texts and translations from comrades behind bars, sometimes with the direct participation of the prisoners themselves.) As limited and fallible as they are, they are what we have to offer: they are here for you and the comrades back in your own areas to do with as you will. Considering the international dimension of the gathering, we have tried to provide adequate context for those less familiar with recent cycles of struggle on these isles, and we have also brought our thoughts into conversation with other writings produced in the course of the struggle in past years, with their questions, analysis and proposals.

Athens,Greece: ” total liberation’’ library opening at the open squat OutsideHill at the streffi hill in Exarxeia area.

MONDAY MAY 13 , HOURS 5pm-11pm

MONDAY 27 MAY,  6 PM OCCUPATION OUTSIDE HILL  EXARCHEIA

OPEN LIBRARY
“TOTAL LIBERATION”

The “total liberation” open library is an experimental project of solidarity and collective reading. The basic vision of the library is to spread the ideas of total liberation through the prism of antispeciesism, to create a pole of attraction, transmission and intersection of the ideas of the liberation of animals and the earth in the context of the anarchist struggle. At this stage, for some time, it will have a mobile format with some titles from the catalogue available for some hours at a predetermined point at a given time.

15 years ago, today and tomorrow Mauricio Morales presente!

Now you’ll probably multiply into thousands and spread yourself over all the land. You’ll watch over us in combat, and light our paths. We´ll do the rest. Because the same flame that was inside you is the flame that lives inside all of us. Because even though they try to extinguish it, it will be born again and again…. till it has destroyed the last outpost of this prison society.
See you soon—at the end of the path.

Act for freedom now!

Sweep out snitches and their accomplices!

 [ – Česky – ] [ – Français – ]

In 2022, the section of the International Workers Association in the region of Russia called for a boycott of the provocateurs, Anatoly Dubovik and Alexander Kolchenko. The statement said:

The latter means that these fake anarchists, by publishing the addresses of anti-war activists located in Russia, are directly inciting Russian secret services and nationalist thugs against them, as opponents of the war, in order to deal with them with their hands! In the conditions of ongoing harassment, dismissals, threats and physical repression against anti-military-minded people in Russia, such actions are tantamount to real denunciation with a direct indication of whom the repressive forces should turn their attention to.

Invitation à la Foire des zines anarchistes 2024 de Montréal (Canada)

Our weapons are courage and beautiful ideas.

Every year in May, the blossoming of spring invites anarchists to reflect upon subversive ideas and practices, from throughout history to present day. Total destruction of all authority is the project that sets our hearts on fire. We are wary of political strategies, and instead propose an anarchy wherein the means and ends are coherent, without waiting for the ‘right moment’, without compromise.

The fight for freedom is infinite, a constant which spans numerous lifetimes, and with endless possiblities. Only through permanent conflict will we create spaces where we can breathe (together) for short while, dreaming of and planning for total freedom.

This Fair is a moment to sharpen the analyses and critiques necessary for the project of insurrection. It’s goal is to nourish your imagination. We’re seeking out those who dream of unlimited freedom, and who are fighting for a complete upheaval of society, not simply it’s re-organization. Books, zines, meet-ups and discussions are indispensible for this project of liberation–they give meaning to our actions, and vice-versa.

We encourage (self)published texts created by comrades who aren’t trapped in the industry of book publishing. We want to free the pen from censorship, and the book from commercialization. We want texts to be distributed through autonomous organization, with the goal of sharing ideas with those who feel inspired by them. This can only occur in a free space, through rejecting copyrights and ‘alternative’ markets. This Fair is organized autonomously, through voluntary association and participation, and without any institutional support.

Join us on the 11 and 12 of May, 2024, under the Van Horne viaduct (North of the tracks). Come for two days of discussions, reading, music, and complicity. There will be several tables with zines and books under the viaduct, and with a few presentations followed by discussions in the little park nearby. There will be shows in the evening, as well as food and coffee onsite.

* We strongly suggest you leave your phones, cameras, and all other technological snitches far away from the event.* The Fair will take place outside and regardless of weather conditions–come dressed appropriately.

* Details on the discussions topics and schedule to come.

LONG LIVE ANARCHY!

Chile: Interview with Espacio Fénix EN/ES

ES: (Chile) Entrevista a Espacio Fénix

Opening the tensions of dialogue, we present the following section of interviews with individuals, collectivities and related spaces that make up the anarchic body in different parts of the world.

The interviews are a valuable contribution to the observation in detail and depth; they come, in a certain way, to broaden the view to give us feedback among comrades and to debate with perspectives and projections, that although they may be different, they converge in the ideas and practices of freedom against all authority.

Without further ado, we have in this first venture of dialogues the comrades of Espacio Fénix.

1-How and when did Espacio Fénix arise, and what projects converge in the space?
