NINE ANARCHISTS crowd into the small room, and take seats on the floor. A lightly mohawked fellow named Tal comes around and takes everyone’s phones.
“We don’t want people listening in on the meeting,” Tal explains, disappearing from the room with an armful of smartphones, which he empties into a drawer in the kitchen.
Bang! The drawer shuts, and the meeting can begin.
This is the monthly assembly of the Israeli anarcho-communist group Unity, a six-year-old organization based in Tel Aviv and Haifa that supports dissolving Israel’s borders and abolishing the government in favor of “a non-national society.”

BERLIN — An influential website linked to violence at the Group of 20 summit meeting in Hamburg last month has been ordered to shut down, in the first such move against left-wing extremists in the country, officials in Germany said Friday.
It’s been years now that the various state agencies of repression order the conduct of investigation under the sole criterion the suspects’ political status. This is the status of the anarchist, mainly of the one who turns his/her ideas into actions, of the one that arms his/her desires and attacks state authority. So each investigation has to do with the possible prosecution of comrades according to the laws of their “democracy.” Police prosecution that starts off with texts and extends to all possible actions is not new amongst the anarchist circles. On the contrary, there is a past record on relative prosecutions in countries such as Italy, Chile etc. where there is a strong comrade presence promoting direct action and intervention.
This text was distributed in the streets of Paris in the journal Paris Sous Tension as an anarchist response to the opportunistic use of a certain anti-sexist politic to attack migrants and poor people in the area.
It's easy to just look out for yourself. It's easy to want to push hardship out of sight when you don't feel affected by it, when the system favours you. It's easy to find excuses not to be in solidarity in these democracies that have found ways to dress themselves up, “liberty, equality, fraternity” (1), and relegate cruelty to a darker past or to far-away lands, to cover your eyes and not see what's going on outside your door. It's easy to be contemptuous of those who struggle to survive, at least for those whose money allows them so much. But it's also easy to brag about your success, your cash, your social position that's held up as a model, as a way to conceal your own existential and emotional misery, the disappointment in the face of our childhood dreams of freedom and self-fulfillment, this frustration that all the money in the world couldn't take away. And yet, there are those who feel no shame in pushing these plain truths aside with their arrogance.

From Anti-social Evolution by Archegonos
This is what todays humanistic world has created, some ”tough” bitches, bitching behind computers and words, in this way, hiding their weakness and patheticality as organisms. They are only ”personalities”, they see themselves as ”individualities”, they are the highest essence of Christ. ”I am a total Spirit, I am not afraid of anyone, I don’t recognize other powers, I am completely severed from the physical and the natural reality, I have my ideology, I am free!”. Individualism for them is the recycling of the gospel of Christ as an answer to authority. So a heavenly constructed ideal against a natural physical reality. It is not the realistic, tactical individualism. It is a humanist spiritual value. Egoist values and such, you know! Because egoism doesn’t describe a natural condition, no it is an ideology with content! You need guides such as ”How to be the best egoist you can!” or ”Be the better egoist (human spirit)”. And of course only the Light of Anarchy can teach us these.
