People always ask us how it would be possible to treat the pandemic without corporations and governments. Actually—it turns out corporations and governments are the chief obstacle!

Corporate intellectual property rights and profit-driven economies have been implicated in mass deaths for centuries. The idea that science and medicine are inseparable from these is a capitalist myth.

We need new models for research and health care. A better world is possible. 🏴

A few days ago, we shared a photograph of anarchist punks in Myanmar demonstrating against the military coup. It turns out that they have a band called Rebel Riot. Hear what they have to say for yourself:

"Viva la revolution! Let's stick together, let's fight together!"

A year ago this evening, after a life of adventures and polemics, longtime anarchist Aragorn! passed away. Among other things, Aragorn! distinguished himself by maintaining an array of infrastructure projects providing information to thousands of people across North America and the world.

Some of the projects that survive him include the Anarchist Library, Little Black Cart distribution, and a constellation of online resources under the Anarchy Planet umbrella, to name just a few. His publishing efforts helped to keep Indigenous, ecological, and post-left perspectives in circulation. It is impossible to understand the contemporary US anarchist movement without recognizing his contributions.

For a full review of Aragorn!’s life and activities, you can read our eulogy for him:

We've also made a zine version of an interview with him and published a poem about him:

Today, ten thousand tragedies later, this still strikes us as a worthy vision.

Love sans frontières.
