Deseo clarificar, inmediatamente, que me encuentro aquí como una enemiga del Estado y de la sociedad. Lejos de ser una comunidad viva que comparte el bienestar social y la alegría de la vida, lo que es denominado como sociedad no es nada más que la organización aburrida de la desigualdad y la explotación mediante roles sociales y prohibiciones. La ley es la alambrada que mantiene todo en su sitio, y que ha sido asimilada hasta al punto de formar la base inconsciente del hábito diario incluso para aquellos que la aplican. Los media fabrican opiniones para mantener el consenso y la delegación de la responsabilidad individual en ese órgano de terror institucionalizado, el Estado. El Estado incluyendo a sus sujetos, se encuentra en este momento en la base de todas las relaciones sociales, incluida la de hoy en este juzgado.

“COMMUNITY” SICKNESS
A.M. Bonanno
Anarchist practice has fallen sharply in recent years, with few actions either at mass level or at the level of specific groups. As a result we see a revival of the issue of how to get closer to ‘communism’ or to building situations that not only express our ideas and ethical and cultural values but are also capable of satisfying our fundamental personal and collective need for freedom. In other words, there is a proposal to create points of reference that go beyond the classical division between the personal and the political.

LOSS OF LANGUAGE
A.M. Bonanno
The building of the wall that will finally separate the included from the excluded is already in course. It is based on various elements. One of the most important is a diversity of language which is being realised through a reduction in the excluded’s possibility to express themselves.

A MILLION JOBS
A.M. Bonanno
Whatever can such a promise mean, made as it was at the time of the collective illusions inspired by Berlusconi’s electoral propaganda.
In practical terms, nothing. Not just because it is impossible, but because it goes against economic logic itself.
Let us explain.

A LITTLE MAN IN SINGAPORE
A.M. Bonnano
Barings is a small commercial bank in London. It made the headlines the world over due to the collapse that resulted from disastrous operations carried out in the Tokyo Stock Exchange by one of its employees, Nick Leeson, their agent in the Singapore branch.

Insurrection
It is within the perspective of generalised mass armed struggle that the insurrection takes on libertarian meaning, and marks the definitive critique of any ‘closed’ attempt to organise the management of the class conflict.

Inkognito – Erfahrungen jenseits der Identifikation
Dieses Buch handelt vom Leben im Verborgenen. Es sticht durch die Dunkelheit und springt in die Geheimnisse des Unerkannten, des Inkognito, einem Paralleluniversum in dem sogar das was gesagt werden könnte, oftmals nicht ausgesprochen wird. Sei es aus übermäßigem Taktgefühl, Angst oder weil gedacht wird, es sei nicht relevant. Oder in bestimmten Milieus und in den härtesten Fällen aufgrund bloßer politischer Taktik.

The struggle for self-managed social space
The function of space throughout the development of capital could be described as true ‘history’. From the first enclosures of great masses of people into circumscribed spaces to the most advanced factories today, capitalism has tried to cut out portions of space to dedicate them to one specific use: the production of surplus value. Now, with the advent of the recent post-industrial development and advances in technology, the management of this space has changed profoundly. It has passed from a partial management to a total one. Here capital has had the support of power and the State. We think that it is important to reflect on the conditions of the relationship that exists today between social space and capital.

LET’S KEEP OUR FEET ON THE GROUND, PLEASE
If you endorse the idea of the destruction of work, you will always find someone, even among anarchists, who replies, ‘And tomorrow? If we don’t work, what will we eat tomorrow?’
