Challenges the freedom of nihilism poses to an anarchist rebirth

and i laugh and i laugh...

From A Las Barricadas, by Iván Fernando Mérida Aguilar*

Notes on the anarchist drive and its necessary return to the West

However, these are hostile times for the freedom of individuals, in which revenge and egoism outweigh creation, imagination, empathy and compassion. Regarding our human nature, our cognitive biases are deepened under a scenario of existential threat. Therefore, it is from that extreme selfishness that the will to dominate and its manifestation in the cupiditas dominatio [1] derives from the hedonistic ethos that prevails in the fragmented and liquid culture of the West

Vol. 2024 No. 1 (2024): Anarchism and Film: New Perspectives

This special edition of Anarchist Developments in Cultural Studies takes on an ambitious endeavour: to showcase new contributions to the field of Film Studies. Until recently there has been a dearth of anarchist scholarship concerned with cinema, a situation attributable, in part, to anarchism’s historic marginalization in academia, but the situation is rapidly changing, thanks to the scholarship of Richard Porton, Susan White, and Nathan Jun, to name a few.

PHONE ZAP! MALIK NEEDS OUR HELP!

From Malik Speaks!

Malik is currently being held in solitary in a cell with no bed, no blanket, no shirt. They took all his property away.

He's been on hunger strike 2 days, and will continue until they give him a bed, a blanket, and his property back.

Clarissa Rogers Rest in Power!

From Sachio Takashima (facebook)

Two years ago, due to long Covid, Clarissa fell into a coma. She awoke, but with no memories. She later described this time as akin to a process of writing a detective novel of her own life. She started to remember in bits and pieces... She remembered she’s a working class anarchist, involved in supporting workplace struggles, and the struggle against racism, and ultimately found out that she's involved in the world’s oldest Anarchist International! Perhaps most meaningfully, her detective skills revealed a whole community across the country, and around the world that supports her and adores her.

WRITE TO ANARCHIST PRISONERS

Via Abolition Media

Text by Nikos Maziotis on the Health Care Conditions in Domokos Prison

WRITE TO ANARCHIST PRISONERS

Via Abolition Media

According to the law, the health care of prisoners is proportional to the care of the rest of the population (Article 27 (1) of the Penitentiary Code). But that is not really the case. Lack of medical staff, lack of doctors, delays in transfers of detainees to hospitals, special security measures and procedures in some cases such as mine, make the supposed right to care a dead letter.
