20th - 22nd September 2013, Biel-Bienne (Switzerland)

2010 was the first time an anarchist bookfair took place in the bilingual city of Biel/Bienne. With more than 500 visitors, more than two dozen exhibitors, and lectures on the theory and practice of anarchism, the event was a great success.

Due to this experience, the decision was made to organize another bookfair on the language border in 2011. In 2012, the bookfair became larger when it took place during the International Anarchist Gathering in St. Imier and took up a large part of a hockey rink. The stands were occupied by exhibitors from well-over a dozen countries, exhibiting in eight languages. The popular bookfair will take place again this year. This time, it will be at the same place in the heart of Biel/Bienne, but it will be held later in the year from the 20th-22nd September.

Joe Hill (1879–1915)

This article discusses how the early IWW used music both as an organising tool and as a means of developing a sense of community among its members. It puts these activities in the context of the politics and practical activity of the IWW during this period.

One of the main reasons for the establishment of the IWW in 1905 was a recognition that there was a need for a revolutionary labor union that could organise on a national level. The industrial tactic that the IWW promoted aimed at creating cohesion in the working class and ensuring that union organized workers would stand together and support each other when there was a strike. It was important for the IWW to organize groups of workers that others were hesitant to organize and in some cases directly hostile to, for example women, unskilled workers, unemployed workers, black workers and immigrants.
In their struggle to promote their politics, the IWW was a singing union. From 1910 to 1960 the IWW's songbook, still in print, was regarded by many workers as one of their most beloved possessions. The songbook was one of the IWW's most important documents and its songs were sung in numerous situations: around hobo campfires, in boxcars, in Wobbly halls, in the streets, on picket lines, at strike rallies, in court, on the way to jail and in jail. The songs were a crucial aid in recruiting new members, and they were important in building a sense of fellowship and in keeping spirits up in hard situations

Most progressives agree that traditional institutions, cultural or political, deserve a good shaking up. So we approve of discourse that challenges the boundaries set by staid literary journals or moribund political organizations. In letters as in politics, we speak on the one hand of the traditional, mainstream elements deserving of comeuppance, and on the other of the avant-garde, the rebels.

But inevitably, some wish to be more radical than the radicals, the newest new wave. This latter tendency is typically irrelevant at best, but often does real harm by posing as the "true" avant-garde and attacking more productive rebellious movements.

In the following article we will examine two cases of extremism for its own sake, consciously postmodern experimental literature, and also a school of thought called Post-Left Anarchy. We will situate each in its cultural context, and make distinctions or draw parallels as appropriate.

Fight Club is an anarchist inspiration to some, fascist propaganda to others, and it's easy to see why opinions are divided. It's an attack on the emptiness of consumerism, the way society robs us of real choice, the void at the heart of capitalism. But the solution it portrays is just as bad

Οι συνθήκες για την καλλιτεχνία υπό τον κομμουνισμό πρέπει να δημιουργηθούν μέσω της ταξικής πάλης και η τέχνη θα παίζει πάντα ρόλο στην κουλτούρα της ταξικής πάλης, από το Courbet έως και σήμερα. Όταν προκύψουν αυτές οι συνθήκες, με ψηφιακές καινοτομίες και συλλογικούς χώρους τέχνης όπως θέατρα, κινηματογραφικά στούντιο και συλλογές τέχνης, σκεφτείτε πόσο πιο προσιτή θα μπορούσε να γίνει η τέχνη είτε online είτε σε προσωπικό επίπεδο. Θα ήταν μια τέχνη που θα ανταμειβόταν όχι μέσω του αλγορίθμου μιας τεχνολογίας, των χρημάτων ή της προτίμησης της άρχουσας τάξης, αλλά από τη βούληση των απελευθερωμένων ανθρώπων.

textWhy Did the US Fund Anti–Hugo Chávez Rock Bands in Venezuela? Jul 13 07:49 by Tim Gill 5 comments

Recently obtained documents show that in 2011, the US funded rock bands in Venezuela — through a group sympathetic to right-wing forces that later attempted a coup. Giving money to young musicians seems innocuous, but it’s part of a long history of US meddling in the democratic processes of countries to advance American interests.

Durante varios días la cineasta Ana González permaneció con los excombatientes de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) realizando talleres y diversas actividades enfocadas a la construcción de archivo audiovisual y fortalecimiento de la memoria. ¿Saldará el cine colombiano su deuda con la memoria, con la historia del país? Es momento que la imagen salga de la quietud y recobre el movimiento en favor de la vida y derrote al silencio, esa petrificación cómplice de quienes se vendieron a la infamia y censura de un modelo político y económico que impone solo muerte y miseria.

Il tema delle fasi finali della vita oggi è diventato via via sempre più importante nel dibattito etico e politico sulle questioni di salute per due motivi principali. Il primo è di carattere economico e tecnologico, il secondo sociale-filosofico. Si vive sempre più a lungo attraversando diversi livelli di cronicizzazione delle malattie che colpiscono le persone nell’arco della loro vita.

È un romanzo scritto in forma epistolare che racconta l'amara vicenda, non autobiografica, di un "secchione" (inteso in un'accezione simpatica e goliardica) che, non essendo raccomandato, fallisce la prova di un concorso per dirigenti pubblici, per cui decide di rivolgersi ad un magistrato per offrire libero sfogo al suo sdegno contro la corruzione ed il malcostume della società...

Da sempre sono convinto che le droghe e le discoteche forniscano una sorta di arma subdola e solo apparentemente incruenta, che è abilmente impiegata per alienare, rincitrullire e controllare le giovani generazioni, vale a dire per sedare il dissenso e soffocare la rabbia giovanile, senza far ricorso alle forze dell'ordine, alla repressione carceraria, all'azione coercitiva di quelle istituzioni che per natura e vocazione sono deputate proprio a funzioni di ordine pubblico: cito in primis la polizia.

Marx e l'omofobia

È da poco trascorso (sotto silenzio) un anniversario storico estremamente importante: il 21 febbraio 1848 venne pubblicata a Londra la prima edizione del "Manifesto del Partito Comunista" di Karl Marx e Friedrich Engels.

Attuale più che mai. Oggi, in molti invocano il ritorno della Vecchia Talpa: "E quando la rivoluzione avrà condotto a termine questa seconda metà del suo lavoro preparatorio, l’Europa balzerà dal suo seggio e griderà: ben scavato, vecchia talpa!". Colgo l'occasione per avanzare alcune riflessioni personali...

textRiflessioni sul Capodanno Jan 04 01:12 by Lucio Garofalo 0 comments

La riflessione più significativa sul Capodanno la scrisse Antonio Gramsci in giovane età, nel 1916, esattamente un secolo fa. Gramsci aveva ragione quando scriveva che dovrebbe essere Capodanno ogni giorno. Ma senza le stupide convenzioni sociali, gli stereotipi ottusi, il falso perbenismo borghese, il moralismo ed il conformismo ipocrita della società dei consumi di massa, senza i buoni propositi di ogni inizio d'anno che fanno assomigliare la vita umana ad un'azienda commerciale con i suoi consuntivi finali, bilanci e preventivi. Il comunismo dovrà spazzare via anche le inutili e sciocche convenzioni, le date e le ricorrenze vuote di senso. Questi Capodanni, che rappresentano soltanto convenzioni rituali, inducono a credere sul serio in una discontinuità della vita e della storia umana. Mentre non è affatto vero. Sono altri i momenti storici che hanno sancito un salto rivoluzionario, o una discontinuità effettiva. Ad esempio, il 1789 o il 1917...

When the Watergate Scandal brought down the Nixon Government in the States in the mid-70s, it was heralded as one of the finest examples of media power in modern times. Nixon's fall from grace, along with the story of corruption in high places, was the stuff of drama. In no time, the journalists at the centre of the Watergate exposé - Bernstein and Woodward - became celebrities. They went on to win Pulitzer Prizes for their journalistic endeavours and even became the subject of a Hollywood touch-up in All The President's Men.
