Trotsky's "Transitional Program" has both strengths and weaknesses from the viewpoint of revolutionary anarchist-socialism. It is an important document of historical socialism, although deeply flawed. read full story / add a comment

In many ways Comfort reminds me of another anarchist-pacifist, as well as poet and novelist, Paul Goodman (although Goodman seems to have been one of the few influential anarchists whose path did not cross with Comfort). Goodman wrote that he had been criticized for “spread[ing] himself thin on a wide variety of subjects, on sociology and psychology, urbanism and technology, education, literature, esthetics, and ethics….It is false that I write about many subjects. I have only one, the human beings I know in their [human]-made scene.” (1962; p. xiii) As this book shows, the same could be said of Alex Comfort. read full story / add a comment

Επιπλέον, οι κοοπερατίβες δε θα πρέπει να στοχεύουν στο κράτος να ενσωματώσει τους εργαζόμενους στη διοίκηση. Οι ουσιαστικές κατακτήσεις των εργατών θα είναι το αποτέλεσμα του αγώνα που δίνουν στους χώρους εργασίας, μέσα από μορφές άμεσης δράσης που έρχονται σε ευθεία αντιπαράθεση με το κεφάλαιο. Οι σοσιαλιστές που στρέφονται στην εργασία σε συνεταιρισμούς μπορεί κάλλιστα να είναι σοσιαλιστές στην καρδιά και την πρόθεση, αλλά δεν ακολουθούν επαναστατική στρατηγική. read full story / add a comment

A talk on the Ukrainian-Russian war, from an anarchist perspective. I reviewed my reasons for being in solidarity with the Ukrainian people. But revolutionary anarchists should give no political support to the Ukrainian government nor to the U.S. imperialists who help it. read full story / add a comment

Tom Wetzel advocates an approach to achieve syndicalist libertarian ecosocialism. He is not necessarily opposed to individuals voting in elections or building food cooperatives, but he does not think either is a strategy for overcoming capitalism. He proposes a strategy of non- electoral independent movements and organizations, democratically organized from below, with popular participation and active engagement. The axis of these movements must be labor, because of its centrality in production and the economy. But every sector of the population which is oppressed and exploited has to be included and mobilized. A militant minority, political organizations of revolutionary libertarian socialists, committed to this strategy, needs to be organized as part of the popular mobilization. This is a strategy for revolution. Without using the label, Wetzel has produced a major work of anarchism. read full story / add a comment

This is a response to a challenge by Tridni Valka, a Czech anarchist group. They denounced an article of mine. I had defended anarchists who support the Ukrainian people in the Ukraine-Russian war.

Bakunin and other anarchists have supported oppressed nations and national self-determination, as part of their revolutionary program, as I demonstrate. read full story / add a comment

My response to an article, “British Anarchism Succumbs to War Fever” by Alex Alder. That article expresses dismay that many anarchists, in Britain and Eastern Europe and elsewhere have come to support the Ukrainian side of its war with Russian imperialism. It regards this perspective as a betrayal of anarchism, internationalism, and anti-militarism.

I, on the contrary, think that this solidarity with the Ukrainians is a very good thing. It is completely consistent with revolutionary anarchism. read full story / add a comment

Από τη μελέτη μου για την ισπανική επανάσταση στη δεκαετία του 1930, θα έλεγα ότι τα στοιχεία δείχνουν την κρίσιμη σημασία της προετοιμασίας-προετοιμασίας των αγωνιστών, ενεργών μελών της οργάνωσης. Τόσο οι μεγάλες επιτυχίες όσο και οι αποτυχίες της CNT σε εκείνη την επανάσταση μπορούν να εξηγηθούν από αυτό. Δεδομένου του πόσο κρίσιμη είναι η προετοιμασία, δείχνει το ριζικό λάθος του «αυθορμητισμού» ή «θα το καταλάβουμε όταν έρθει η ώρα». read full story / add a comment

Στις 19 Ιούλη 2022 συμπληρώθηκαν 86 χρόνια από την Ισπανική Επανάσταση. Κάθε χρόνος που περνά είναι μια νέα ευκαιρία για να αναλογιστούμε τις επιτυχίες και τις αποτυχίες μιας τόσο μεγάλης στιγμής στην ιστορία. Όταν μελετάμε την ιστορία ως επαναστάτες, συνήθως λαμβάνουμε υπόψη την ισορροπία δυνάμεων, τους οικονομικούς παράγοντες, τις ιδεολογίες, τις οργανώσεις, την κουλτούρα και τις συνθήκες στις οποίες συμβαίνει κάτι. Αλλά μερικές φορές, ιδιαίτερα σημαντικά μαθήματα γίνονται ξεκάθαρα όχι όταν αναλύονται οι μεγάλες αφαιρέσεις (abstractions), αλλά οι ιδέες συγκεκριμένων μορφών που δραστηριοποιούνται σε καθοριστικές (ή σημαντικές) περιστάσεις. read full story / add a comment

As far as I can tell, Ukrainian anarchists have in fact followed Malatesta’s approach. Virtually the whole country has risen up to oppose the invasion. There is voluntary organizing throughout the nation, both military and providing social services, despite chaos and destruction. Ukrainian anarchists have not made fools of themselves by opposing the resistance of the people. Instead they have merged with the broader movement of Ukrainians. Some have provided non-military services through mutual aid groups, such as food distribution. Others have formed a military unit composed of anarchists and anti-fascists. Although they have a good deal of autonomy, they coordinate with the Territorial Defense Forces. read full story / add a comment

Ο Francesco Fantin και ο ιταλικός αναρχισμός στην Αυστραλία --- Οι τελευταίες μέρες του Fantin ήταν τραγικές, καθώς ήταν εγκλωβισμένος σε ένα στρατόπεδο με εκείνους τις πολιτικές απόψεις των οποίων είχε περάσει όλη του τη ζωή πολεμώντας. Στο ημερολόγιό του στο στρατόπεδο, ο Francesco κρατούσε σημειώσεις και έγραφε ποιήματα. Να ένα τραγικό, θρηνητικό παράδειγμα: «Όνειρα; Η πικρή πραγματικότητα του να βρίσκομαι πάντα εδώ ανάμεσα σε αυτή τη μολυσμένη πολεμοχαρή μάζα. Και ανάμεσα σε ελάχιστους με δίκαιες συνειδήσεις, αυτά τα τελευταία είκοσι χρόνια, σε αυτούς τους καιρούς δικτατόρων και δικτατοριών, το ανθρώπινο είδος γεμάτο τέτοιου είδος πυρετούς μοιάζει τρελό».
