Οι εργαζόμενες/οι οφείλουμε σε αυτή την κατεύθυνση να συνταχθούμε μέσα από τις ενώσεις αλλά και τις συλλογικές μας οργανώσεις στον αγώνα για την προστασία του Βερμίου από το κράτος και τις επιχειρήσεις. Το βουνό μας ήταν εκεί πριν από εμάς και θέλουμε να το παραδώσουμε στις επόμενες γενιές όπως το βρήκαμε. Θεωρούμε πως πρέπει να ανοίξει ένας διάλογος στην τοπική κοινωνία για την ορθολογική κοινή χρήση (κι όχι εκμετάλλευση) του βουνού, στην κατεύθυνση της συμπληρωματικής ισόρροπης συμβίωσης ανθρώπων και φύσης. read full story / add a comment

Οι μετανάστες/ριες που είχαν εγκλωβιστεί δέχθηκαν την μανία των ΜΑΤ που εισέβαλαν ακόμα και στο εσωτερικό των κοντέινερ ξυλοκοπώντας αδιακρίτως όποιους έβρισκαν μπροστά τους και συλλαμβάνοντας εν τέλει 35 άτομα στο σωρό, με μοναδικό κριτήριο το χρώμα του δέρματος, αφού είχαν στοχοποιηθεί αφρικανοί μετανάστες. Πολύ μετανάστες είναι χτυπημένοι, ενώ μεταξύ τους υπάρχουν τραυματίες από ευθείες βολές δακρυγόνων, με έναν μετανάστη να φέρει τραύμα στο στήθος και ακόμα έναν στο πόδι. Όλοι οι συλληφθέντες οδηγήθηκαν στη Γενική Αστυνομική Διεύθυνση Λέσβου όπου κρατήθηκαν και σύμφωνα με τις καταγγελίες τους συνέχισαν να δέχονται χτυπήματα από τους μπάτσους. Ενώ οι περισσότεροι ήταν τραυματισμένοι, μόνο ένας από αυτούς οδηγήθηκε στο νοσοκομείο Μυτιλήνης όπου και κρίθηκε αναγκαία η νοσηλεία του. read full story / add a comment

The outraged media reaction to a jury doing its job and finding the Jobstown defendants not guilty is quite extraordinary. Rather than do the right thing and launch an investigation as to how 180 cops could produce evidence that was directly contradicted by video evidence, the media have gone on a rant against Twitter! Rather than finding it suspicious that nearly 3 million in public funds was spent by the DPP on a case that any proper check of available evidence should have indicated was never likely to convince a jury, the media suggest instead that the problem lay in the exact charges brought. The trial was part of a large scale state operation to suppress a mass anti-austerity community campaign. read full story / add a comment

A libertarian Marxist friend sent me a reference to a report on an international gathering of “National Anarchists.” It appeared in Keith Preston’s site, “Attack the System,” at https://attackthesystem.com/2017/07/10/national-anarchi...47073

This is my response.

The collected political writings of the German anarchist Erich Muhsam reveal much about not only his ideas, but the remarkable life and times he lived in.

"The Road Not Taken" is a historic proposal that was provided to the Federation of Revolutionary Anarchist Collectives (FRAC) from the Black Heart Anarchist Collective-Columbus Ohio in 2001. Previous to now this proposal was treated as an internal FRAC document and has never been made available online or to the public. Ultimately the proposal was not adopted by FRAC. It is being provided now as it shows some of the internal debate and discussions that were taking place in the anarchist movement shortly after The Battle of Seattle. The document also highlights one road that aspects of the anarchist movement viewed as open to it, even if this road was never taken. Now that we are struggling against an increasing fascist tendency in the U.S. and beyond [2017], we as a movement need to explore those crossroads that post-Seattle presented us, and re-evaluate the strategic and tactical directions the movement took then in order for us in the present to build a stronger more effective movement today.

This proposal was provided to the still forming Federation of Revolutionary Anarchist Collectives (Great Lakes Region-Midwest) in December, 2001 by the Black Heart Anarchist Collective (Columbus, Ohio). It was not adopted by the federation. It was also sent to the Northeast Federation of Anarcho Communists. David Van Deusen wrote this document with Lady. The proposal was adopted as a position by the Black Heart Anarchist Collective as a whole, whose members also had input into the content. The Black Heart Anarchist Collective was an offshoot of Anti-Racist Action-Columbus. The collective (which included Van Deusen, Lady, Dustin, Noah, and others) formed for the primary purpose of engaging in discussions with other regional anarchist collectives about forming the Federation of Revolutionary Anarchist Collectives. The Black Heart Anarchist Collective were participants in a number of meetings leading up to the creation of the federation. However, prior to the official formation of the federation Van Deusen & Lady moved back to Vermont, the collective disbanded, and was never an official member collective of the federation. Van Deusen (who co-founded The Green Mountain Anarchist Collective) was in Ohio, and a member of Anti-Racist Action, for some time in 2001-2002. The Federation of Revolutionary Anarchist Collectives folded in 2005.
