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 current
policies.

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 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."

This Thursday, May 6, a massacre befell the community of Jacarezinho, in Rio de
Janeiro, with at least 25 people killed. The authorship is of the Civil Police,
in what is considered the most lethal police action in the history of the state.
Witnesses point to various indications of summary executions, of people who were
already surrendered and offered no resistance. ---- The case opens up state
terrorism that victimizes the poor and black people in Rio de Janeiro and in
communities across the country. Last year, 5,660 people were murdered by police
in Brazil. In the state of Rio de Janeiro, 25% of violent deaths in 2020 had
police authorship. Disguised as a war on drugs, the genocidal policy is a war on
the poor, which victimizes black and peripheral youth, and keeps the population

Myanmar (Burma) is a country bordering Bangladesh, India, China, Laos and
Thailand, where a military coup led by General Min Aun Hlain took place on
February 1 this year. The coup overthrew the elected government of the National
League for Democracy (NLD), which took power in the 2011 elections. Myanmar has
long been under a military dictatorship, and only in the last decade has the
situation changed, although systematic ethnic and religious discrimination has
continued. The return of the military junta provoked violent protests from the
population, mass strikes and street protests. These are brutally suppressed,
which has claimed hundreds of lives.

attitudes and ideologies that stand in the way of equality and the right of all
people everywhere to control their own lives and environment. The working class

On Monday, May 10, at 5.30 pm in STHE we call for the creation of an open
assembly for the organization of counter-information excursions and actions
against the forthcoming unemployment bill. ---- A bill, which after 10 years of
capitalist crisis, the greatest burdens of which were lifted on the backs of the
working class and the lower social strata with reductions in wages and pensions,
increases in retirement limits, increase in the cost of living, introduction of
flexible working relationships, privatizations and mass unemployment comes to:
---- Essentially abolish the 8 o'clock leaving the door open for 10 hours of

As the "separatism" law comes out of the Senate heavily amended by the right, a
series of racist acts have taken place this week in various cities, sounding like
an omen of the direct effects of this law. ---- The last few days have been
marked by a wave of Islamophobic acts: threat of an attack in Mans, tags of the
Islamic cultural center of Rennes, fire of the mosque of Nantes. The Rennes tags
bear the mark of the far right, thus continuing a wave of fascist attacks after
the attack on the Black Plume in Lyon and the intrusion of Action française into

In recent days, the state of Israel has again launched a brutal crackdown on
Palestinians in East Jerusalem. In particular, Israeli occupation forces
attempted to forcibly evict 200 Palestinian families in the Sheikh Zarah suburb
of Jerusalem, using the pre-existing title deeds as a pretext for 1967. The
operation was accompanied by state terrorism and settlers, where they unleashed
pogroms and expelled Palestinians from their homes. ---- This effort to oust the
Palestinian people continues and escalates, with Israeli forces entering the
Al-Aqsa Mosque on Friday 7/5 and attacking hundreds of people, injuring dozens of
people. While in the next few days, the suppressive violence continued with the
police to hit protesters, throwing plastic spheres, chemicals and glow grenades,

On Saturday the 1st of May, a small but determined demonstration made its way
through the centre of The Hague. Around 30 people participated in the unannounced
anarchist 1st of May demonstration with the slogan "we don't want to be destroyed
by capitalism, so capitalism will have to be destroyed by us". ---- The
demonstration started in the popular neighbourhood Kortenbos in the middle of the
city. This part of the city, with its small streets, parks and social housing
served well as the starting point for the demo. While slogans were being shouted
and flyers handed out to people passing by or watching from their houses, the
group of anarchists made their way through the streets.

In March, the entertainment workers occupied theaters that had been closed for
twelve months to draw attention to their plight and claim their right to exist.
The reopening of the rooms, desired by the management, remains under debate. ----
The very symbolic Odeon theater - which was covered with red and black flags in
May 68 - was once again occupied! From March 4, a blossoming of occupations
followed, with more than 60 cultural places taken over by culture workers and
their supporters. ---- The demands are made by the CGT-Spectacle, SUD-Culture et
Médias and the Coordination of intermittent and precarious workers (CIP), a group
whose name refers to the social movement of 2003. The stake: the withdrawal of
