Coming out of the Occupy movement, we initiated a dialogue with anarchists who had participated in similar assembly-based movements in Spain, Greece, Bosnia, Slovenia, Brazil, and elsewhere.

Our goal was to identify the ways that the decision-making processes we employed had facilitated or impeded social change, and to formulate an anarchist analysis of democratic discourse and models.

The result was our book, From Democracy to Freedom.

You can download the book here for free, or order a print copy:

Es hatte sich in den letzten Tagen angekündigt. Zum zweiten Mal innert 3 Jahren greift Aserbaidschan die Region Berg-Karabach an. Wiederum fliegt der Konflikt unter dem Radar. War es 2020 noch die Pandemie, so liegt diesmal der Krieg um die Ukraine im Fokus. Deshalb nützt der Diktator in Baku mit gütiger Mithilfe von Erdogan gerade die günstige Gelegenheit, da Armeniens "Schutzmacht" Russland mit anderem beschäftigt ist.
