Flashback to summer 2020 in Grant Park, Chicago, when demonstrators outwitted and outfought police officers in order to attempt to topple a statue of the genocidal colonizer Christopher Columbus. Consequently, the statue was removed.

In response to the rapidly rising cost of food—which impacts the poorest while the wealthy avoid the consequences of inflation—some German-speaking comrades have begun plundering grocery stores and freely redistributing the goods with a sign reading "All just stolen."

Their tagline—#WirVerteilenUm—means "We redistribute."

On their website, https://wirverteilenum.de, they explain why they've chosen to take the responsibility of meeting their community's nutritional needs into their own hands—regardless of capitalist law.

Today is the birthday of film director Dušan Makavejev, a participant in Yugoslavia's anarchic "black wave" movement.

It's a good day to watch his anti-authoritarian masterpiece WR: Mysteries of the Organism—or read our analysis of its subversive method:

Бунтът в Иран
Феминисткото възкресение и началото на края на режима

На 16 септември 2022 г. моралната полиция в Техеран убива 22-годишна жена, за която се твърди, че не е носила хиджаб в съответствие с политиката на иранската държава. В отговор на това хората в цял Иран излязоха на улиците в продължение на почти две седмици, като се изправиха срещу полицията и отвориха пространства на неуправляема свобода. За мнозина в Иран изглежда, че е в ход революционен процес.

Сътрудничейки си с Колектив 98, антикапиталистическа и антиавторитарна група, която се занимава с борбата в Иран, успяхме да интервюираме ирански и кюрдски феминистки за ситуацията в страната. В следващия текст те изследват историческото значение на тази вълна от бунтове и силите, които я задвижват.

Today we remember Zhlobitsky Mikhail Vasilyevich, also known as Valerian Panov, a 17-year-old student at the Arkhangelsk Polytechnic University and an anarchist. Four years ago, he died in an attack on the headquarters of the FSB (the Russian secret police) in Arkhangelsk.

By 2018, meaningful protest organizing had become virtually impossible under Putin, thanks to the FSB fabricating cases and torturing people to force them to sign confessions. This young anarchist's effort showed the desperation and dedication of a person who refused to accept the situation.

"I wish you to go unswervingly and uncompromisingly towards our goal. Light to you, the future of anarchist communism!"
