An open letter to our anarchist, socialist and radical leftist comrades
From Freedom News UK
Dear comrades: We think you may have forgotten about us. Or, at the very least, you are trying to. The new normal in society at large excludes many people, among them some of your comrades: us. Need we remind you that disabled and chronically ill people can be radical leftists?
Ciao, Alfredo

Javier Milei’s faux anarchism and blaring support for Israel
Showing how Javier Milei’s employment of the term Anarchism is nonsensical doesn’t take much effort, but nonsense is highly electable in our era. For an anarchist to run for president, he would be seeking a position he doesn’t believe should exist, and would be ideologically committed to not doing the job.

Alfredo Maria Bonanno, ideologue of the anarcho-insurrectionists, has died
From Domani (machine translation to English)
His name will not mean much to the general public, but for part of the variegated anarchist world, Alfredo Maria Bonanno was much more than a point of reference. He died this morning, Wednesday 6 December, in Trieste, he was 86 years old: the news gradually spread among friends and companions, informed by his wife. The comrades themselves remember him today for his rigor in searching for original texts by anarchist theorists and for the logic pursued in the discussions.
December 6 – We don’t forget, we don’t forgive
Greece: December 6 – We don’t forget, we don’t forgive
15 years have passed since the night of December 6, 2008 when the murderous cop Korkoneas killed the anarchist student Alexandros Grigoropoulos with his colleague Saraliotis watching.
15 years since the night that shocked the whole society and led to a huge social uprising that exploded like a bomb across the country and lasted for months.
15 years since night-time stopped. The promises we made then remain open. They show us all that has been lost and all that needs to be done now.
