I believe it was Clausewitz who said that war was simply politics carried out by other means. I think that the reverse is a truer expression of social reality. Politics is simply the social war carried out using less bloody means. If we consider that it is always the ruling class and its lackeys who call for social peace, demanding that the exploited and excluded refrain from violence in dealing with their social condition, it becomes obvious that social peace is simply part of the strategy of the social war. For this reason, the peace movement must be rejected as a way of dealing with the current American call for war. Continue reading Social War By Other Means→
In 1979, four Australian anarchist and “libertarian socialist” organizations published a tract called You Can’t Blow Up a Social Relationship, presumptuously subtitled “The Anarchist Case Against Terrorism” — as if theirs was the only case against it and there was no case for it. The pamphlet has been reprinted and distributed by North American anarchist groups, usually workerists, and by default appears to enjoy some currency as a credible critique of terrorism canonical for anarchists.

Giuseppe Ciancabilla (Roma 1872 – San Francisco 1904)
Non possiamo concepire che da anarchici si stabiliscano a dogmi fissi i punti da seguire sistematicamente. Perchè, anche ammessa tra più compagni e più gruppi un’uniformità di vedute sulle linee generali della tattica da seguire, questa tattica si esplicherà in cento diverse forme di applicazione; con mille particolari differenti.

Ferdinando Nicola Sacco (22 de abril de 1891 – 23 de agosto de 1927) y Bartolomeo Vanzetti (11 de junio de 1888 – 23 de agosto de 1927) eran dos inmigrantes italianos, trabajadores y anarquistas, que fueron juzgados, sentenciados y ejecutados por electrocución el 23 de agosto de 1927 en Massachusetts por el presunto robo a mano armada y asesinato de dos personas en 1920 en South Braintree, Massachusetts.
Bookchin es uno de los grandes pensadores libertarios contemporáneos. Su visión de la ecología social, que vincula estrechamente el mundo social y político con la naturaleza, cuestionando las relaciones jerárquicas al considerarlas como una grave amenaza para la dinámica integración de la diversidad, merece ser tenida en cuenta ante los grandes problemas que afronta la humanidad. Continue reading Murray Bookchin y la ecología social→
The case of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti has attracted world-wide attention. Yet very few of our people, except those immediately associated with the case, are at all familiar with the personalities of the two men whose fate has aroused this strong international interest.

Nel 1997 Hakim Bey, autore del discusso “T.A.Z. Zone temporaneamente autonome”, presenta al pubblico italiano una raccolta di quattro saggi inclusiva di una lunga e significativa intervista ad opera di David Endler, Jack Hauser e Christan Loidl. Scegliendo l’impegnativo titolo complessivo di “Millennium” e situando il proprio discorso teorico nello scenario “oggettivamente pre-rivoluzionario” del mondo contemporaneo, il pensatore libertario statunitense, attraverso la pratica sovversiva di una scrittura visionaria e disorientante, conduce il lettore alla ri-scoperta del concetto di rivoluzione: Continue reading Hakim Bey – Millennium: dalle t.a.z. alla rivoluzione (1997) it/es→
