A-INFOS-ORG
The A-Infos news
lists are democratically self-managed by an international
organizational collective. Here's how to participate.
We especially encourage women, non-english speaking people, and those
living outside of Europe and America. Here is a list of our policies.
A-INFOS VISION
The A-Infos Project is coordinated by an international
collective of revolutionary anti-authoritarian,
anti-capitalist activists, involved with class
struggle and who regard it as a total social struggle.
These are people who conceive themselves as
revolutionary class struggle social anarchists,
anarcho-communists, libertarian communists, syndicalists
and others who hold similar opinions but use other labels.
A-Infos is organized by people who feel anarchism is a
social theory, and that a revolution is necessary to
bring about the new class-less social order, and that
this revolution can only be made by the vast majority
of the working people.
The specific kind of anarchism we talk about and
promote is the anarchism of the Haymarket martyrs and
those expelled by Karl Marx from the First
International for criticizing his authoritarianism and
the elitist, vanguardist degradation of the masses of
The specific kind of anarchism we talk about and
the working class...
We do not support the kind of anarchism proposed by some
pseudo-modernists and pseudo-"revolutionaries" who
regard symbolic activity as substitute to mass
struggle, or the kind of anarchism of "humanists" who hold
other tasks as equal or more important than the
revolutionary struggle for abolishing the capitalist
system.
A-Infos work is not inspired by egoistic and
egocentric individualism, primitivism, "free
capitalism without a state" or even a state without
free capitalism - who oppose the present capitalist
order but do not offer instead a viable model of modern
social order of freedom, equality, and solidarity.
It is not enough for individuals and groups to use an
anarchist label for their texts to be distributed by
A-Infos.
In the struggle for a free society, we distribute news
and articles in several languages, covering a wide
range of areas of struggle. These include workplace
and environmental struggles as well as the fight
against racism, sexism and homophobia. A-Infos also
distributes news on indigenous peoples
anti-colonialist fight against settlers, occupation
and marginalization, as well as anti-nationalist and
anti-regional separatist struggles, because workers
have no country but the world as a whole....
A-Infos is specialized press agency, in the service
(as we see it best) of the movement of revolutionary
anti-capitalist activists who are involved in the
various social struggles against the capitalist class
and its social system.
A-Infos is not an open "liberal" service that
distributes anything "we" are sympathetic to -- it is
not Indymedia. It is first of all a free distribution
tool for information from and about collectives of
anarchist (and other anti authoritarian
revolutionaries) involved in the struggle.
A-Infos workers do not think we are the ones who
should decide who, on the social anarchist camp, is a
"real" anarchist or not. However, as resources are
limited, we have the right and duty to (autonomously)
choose what we distribute what we feel is best among
the contributions and contributors. The freedom of
association the A-Infos collective is based on means
nothing without the freedom not to associate, if
workers so choose.
A-Infos has a role to play in the world anarchist
movement. Information is strength. A-Infos helps to
build a sense of an international movement. A-Infos
is, to a certain extent, one of the few international
organizational tools of the movement. But to keep this
role it must stay a tool in the service of the
movement and not a free-for-all information service.
A-Infos is not just an internal movement tool. Like
the Anarchist FAQ, it's also a means to present the
movement to the wider audience and to a new
generation, and acquaint them with international
aspects of the movement.
A-Infos is an autonomous anarchist press agency that
is not the bullhorn of any "social" movement. Even
when self-proclaimed anarchists (or even if real ones)
are involved is not a guarantee A-Infos will
distribute contributions. Even if we ourselves
sympathize with given movements is no guarantee
articles will be posted.
Thus, A-Infos distributes the news and analysis its
workers want to share with the world non-authoritarian
activists community -- mainly posts from
anti-authoritarian revolutionary collectives and
reports about direct action of social struggle
both of activists and of common people in their daily life.
Anyone who is not satisfied with the services we
provide, is welcome to use other services or build
her/his own.
A-infos is both an organizational tool, a propaganda tool, and an
information tool of the movement -- and is not merely "news
by, about and of interest to anarchists."

Already in 2011, they had not realized that the traditional cup of the Feast of the Huma
obviously contained a naked woman, smiling, four legs, flower ass (posture we adopt love
several times a day), c 'was twisting! The author of this collector: Wolinski, the
designer who loves women (yes, yes, it is he who says so!) ---- Illustration for a cup in
2011. ---- And now they are at it again this year, still sealed in the Gallic spirit, so
rebellious. The object of the offense: postcards Left Front against the pension reform,

L'usine Fralib de Gémenos produit du thé et des infusions commercialisés sous les marques
Lipton et Elephant par Unilever. Le géant de l'agro-alimentaire ne s'attendait pas à une
telle résistance, quand il a annoncé en 2010 la fermeture de l'usine. Avec détermination,
les salarié-e-s ont imposé un projet alternatif au licenciement. ---- Le 24 juin, les
travailleuses et les travailleurs de Fralib unis dans une intersyndicale CGT-CGC sont

l'outil industriel pour l'euro symbolique, alors qu'à l'origine elle voulait transférer

Life and political career of Malcolm X still echoes the experience of many young people in
neighborhoods around the world, as it echoed the time than many black-es ghettos. In this,
the course is eminently political and insightful. ---- The political career of Malcolm X
was not slow and progressive but the fruit breaks sudden and profound. His life was a
succession of shots theaters [ 1 ]. After a small stable childhood, came the death of his
father, followed by the mental degeneration of his mother put him on welfare. Then a
childhood relatively preserved in the white schools. Malcolm wanted to become a lawyer,
but one of his teachers dissuaded him because he was black, advising him to become a
carpenter [ 2 ].

La vie et le parcours politique de Malcolm X fait toujours écho au vécu de nombreux jeunes
des quartiers populaires à travers le monde, comme il faisait écho à l'époque à celui de
nombre de noir-e-s des ghettos. En cela, son parcours est éminemment politique et riche
d'enseignements. ---- Le parcours politique de Malcolm X ne fut pas lent et évolutif mais
le fruit de ruptures brusques et profondes. Sa vie a été une succession de coups de
théâtres [1]. Après une petite enfance stable, survint la mort de son père suivie de la
dégénérescence mentale de sa mère qui le plaça à l'assistance sociale. Puis, une enfance
relativement préservée au sein des écoles blanches. Malcolm voulut devenir avocat, mais un
de ses professeurs l'en dissuada parce qu'il était noir, lui conseillant de devenir
charpentier [2].

Lowland, dat ruimte biedt voor politieke en sociale activiteiten van de Gaucha
Anarchistische Federatie, voor de tweede keer binnengevallen door de repressieve krachten
van Tarsus PT. De deur van het hoofdkwartier werd gebroken en materialen werden in beslag
genomen. Op een tafel werd een briefje achtergelaten met de tekst "ik kwam langs en de
deur was open. Zou graag mee willen doen aan de FAG." Op die dinsdag trad het bestuur van
de staat hard op tegen diverse linkse organisaties. Invallen in prive woningen en openbare
ruimtes werden de hele dag verricht. Er wordt gesproken over een aantal van 70 invallen.
