“Anarchism, Zapatismo & the Black Panthers,” a talk by Ashanti Alston
Monday, March 12th, 2012Someone recently reminded me of a great talk that Ashanti Alston gave in the AK warehouse a while back. I tracked it down through the wonder of the Interweb and watched it again. Despite being daunted by how quickly time seems to be moving as I get older (it happened in 2006, not the year [...]
Anarchists invade the nation’s largest Marxist event!
Saturday, March 10th, 2012Okay, not really. There will probably still be more Marxists at this year’s annual Left Forum conference (March 16-18 at Pace University in NYC), and a lot of those Marxists are our close friends and colleagues and we look forward to seeing them every year! But there are a tremendous number of very pointedly anarchist [...]

“We gather together today not to praise capitalism, but to bury it.” An Anti-Eulogy
Tuesday, March 6th, 2012We recently held an important funeral here in Oakland: for capitalism. There weren’t any tears that I could see. Paul Dalton, one of the organizers—and a former AK Press collective member—wrote a moving “dyslegy” (anti-eulogy) for the not-so-dearly departed. Read it and don’t weep. I’ve also included a short video of the event. You can [...]

Surrealism in 2012!
Tuesday, December 27th, 2011If you should happen to find yourself in the mid-Atlantic or the Northeast in January or February, I strongly recommend you make time for a detour to Reading, Pennsylvania for the improbably located Surrealism in 2012 exhibition: a never-before-exhibited-together collection of surrealist material created since 1960. NO, surrealism didn’t die out in the 50s with [...]
Interview with the Comité Organizador de la 3ra Conferencia Anual de la NAASN, Puerto Rico
Tuesday, December 20th, 2011This year, the conference of the North American Anarchist Studies Network will be happening in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on January 7-8.
