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:

Long ago, in another century, inspired by the joy we discovered in our adventures together, we dreamed that a revolutionary movement could extend what is best about romantic love to all relations. We published a manifesto about this in the first issue of Harbinger, an early CrimethInc. paper.

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

An anarchist in St. Louis reflects on the meaning of the revolt of February 6 in the context of efforts to manage what people imagine to be the interests of prisoners.

El 17 de diciembre de 2010, un joven tunecino llamado Mohamed Bouazizi se autoinmoló prendiéndose fuego en protesta por el trato recibido a manos de la policía, lo que dio comienzo a la ola de levantamientos que se conocieron como la Primavera Árabe. Hoy, Túnez está experimentando su mayor revuelta popular desde aquellos días, con miles en las calles enfrentándose a la policía semana tras semana. En el siguiente informe, nuestrxs camaradas tunecinxs explican el contexto de esta nueva revuelta, explorando qué ha cambiado y qué sigue igual. Lo que vemos en Túnez es un anticipo de la próxima ronda de movimientos revolucionarios en la región.

All of the first half dozen US presidents came from the British ruling classes. They were the beneficiaries of colonialism—they just didn't want to share the proceeds with the King.

They didn't start the revolution—they co-opted it.

If we want to understand the role that men like George Washington played in society, we should start by learning about the slaves and indentured servants who sought to escape from him and the Native Americans who defended themselves against his attacks:

Just as Washington represented the interests of Southern planters, John Adams came from a long line of Northern politicians and lawmen.

This new book depicts the tumultuous world at the roots of the American Revolution—struggles that continue today:

"Everything that happened in Nazi Germany was legal. It happened in courtrooms, just like this. It was done by judges who wore robes and quoted the law, judges who said 'This is the law, respect it.'"
