Since I recognised myself an anarchist, I have always been an “idealist” for taking it to the Messianic, a “believer” of The Idea. I was fascinated (and continue to be fascinated) by all the stories and experiences that Anarchism has brought, fought for and defended in the name of a conviction that a more dignified […]

PrefaceThe Makhnovist movement (popularly and semi-pejoratively referred to as the makhnovshchina) was a relatively short-lived peasant and industrial worker anarchist insurgency in Ukraine that existed from 1917-1921. The popular history of the Makhnovist movement is lacking, which has led to the claim that the Makhnovist movement constituted, in fact, a centralized state with a centralized […]
On 19 May, a close friend & fellow comrade of many anarchist organizations in Ukraine, Bodia Slem, an aerial reconnaissance officer serving with the ‘CODE 9.2’ unit on the Zaporizhzhia front, was killed in action. “The best machine gunner, a punk, stronger than the informals.

Recent months have seen a wave of headlines celebrating a vote to decriminalise abortion in England and Wales. While these reports stem from a highly significant amendment, this is not full decriminalisation. It is partial decriminalisation at best, and packaged in an Act that is otherwise a grave rollback of our civil rights, and that […]

This year as we are marking the International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason and All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners we are thinking about the nature of solidarity as ever-changing and never-ending.

As a working class organisation and union initiative made up of both local and migrant working class people we awoke to the news of a brutal and shocking attack in North Belfast last night.

This is a story about May Day in Britain (and other places). This is a series of moments that brought us here. It is specific to the British context and the historical route we have taken to get here. It occasionally flicks around the world and strays away from the focus, but these are the […]
“It is not murder, however, of which you have convicted me. The judge has stated that much only this morning in his resume of the case, and Grinnell has repeatedly asserted that we were being tried not for murder, but for anarchy, so the condemnation is—that I am an anarchist!”– Louis Lingg addressing the court.

Question of YPJ Integration into Syrian ArmyThe position of YPJ is a key stumbling block in the integration process. Publicly made suggestions of what integration should look like from the STG side insist on it becoming part of a (women’s) police force, instead of being collectively granted a place in the military which YPJ demands.

The following is a piece from prairielanddefendants.com. It gives a solid run down of the case which has not been getting half as much press as it should.

March 8, International Women’s Day, is routinely invoked by governments, NGOs, and pundits as a day to celebrate women’s achievements.

Enough silence, enough accepting crumbs while you build the nation’s wealth with the sweat of your brow!

We already posted the latest agreement between DAANES and STG (posted below). Currently it is just a paper, each time agreements with the STG have been made, they have not been followed by the STG. But if the implementation of it will take place in the upcoming weeks, it will have major implications for what […]

Alerta! The Hungarian government made antifascism officialy illegal through legislative means. Antifascist activists are under surveillance, demomstrations are banned.

Nazi rock festival, nazi grand meeting, nazi tour, with several thousands of […]

Bima Satria Putra’s new book Anarchy In Alifuru1 presents the Alifuru, which were a group of Indigenous anarchist societies in the Maluku islands of Indonesia. It is a relatively unexciting book that nonetheless sheds light on ways that anarchist societies have existed and why they chose to live that way. The Alifuru were on the […]
“We call on government officials to take responsibility for what is happening in the mentioned neighbourhoods and to find realistic and lasting solutions to the problems through dialogue, avoiding war and violence.

OneThe surface world, 9AM, in the lobby of a monumentous, and rather extravagant building commissioned by an ancient regime.

Six months ago, Jean-Phillipe had been a tax-man […]

The Iranian protests have spread to nearly 30 cities and towns by the fifth day.

There are no exact figures, and no one knows how many people have been killed or injured, […]
The situation in Iran, as in many countries, has deteriorated in almost every aspect of life. High inflation, the rising value of the dollar, pound, and euro, the collapse of the national currency, the soaring cost of living, and the lack of basic freedoms have created unbearable conditions. Repression, arrests, kidnappings, and violence against anyone […]
We’ve arrived to the last week of 2025. During last several months there have been tensions in the media, connected to the deadline of the March agreements.

Authoritarian socialists, communists, and even some anarchists believe that the labor movement and the socialist/anarchist movement are the same and share identical goals. In this article, I want to show that there is a difference between these movements and to explain how this misunderstanding arises. This does not mean that the working class which drives […]
Syrian government integration proposalThe Syrian government submitted a “revised” integration proposal to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on December 6. It is likely that Turkey dictated the terms of this proposal. As of now, the Syrian government has not commented on the specifics of the proposal. In October 2025, the Syrian government and the SDF […]
An important place to start is to say that our collective doesn’t have a monopoly on anarchy in the Bournemouth area and that writing anything about the state of movements where autonomy is such a key feature is always going to be vulnerable to missing out things that others are doing but we can only […]
Maybe you’ve read Hwang Dongyun’s book “Anarchism in Korea,” or George Katsiaficas’ essay Peter Kropotkin and People’s Uprisings: From the Paris Commune to the Kwangju Uprising. However, as abundant as such examples of past attempts are, those who called themselves anarchists often did not act like one, and those who did, did not claim to […]
When asked to write this article, I accepted enthusiastically and without hesitation. Admittedly, I love to write and leapt at the chance to work on something other than an instagram caption. (I was of course more eager for an opportunity to reflect on our work). Reflection is something we do everyday as a small team […]
For a year now, we have been publishing regular reports on the situation in Syria and our assessment of it. Even when you are in the region, it is often difficult to untangle the web of events unfolding there — a year ago, we called it 4D chess. And that is still how it feels […]
Every year around July I start asking fellow anarchists around the world what they think is the state or health of Anarchism, globally and locally. Partially this is a prompt for submissions to Spindrift, however deeper than that, it’s become my own annual tradition to gauge what’s going on globally and locally. A time in […]
THE EMERGENCE OF BELO HORIZONTEAt the end of the 19th century, Belo Horizonte emerged as Brazil’s first planned city, a reflection of significant events in the second half of the nineteenth century in the territory known as Brazil and the world.

The tradition of anarchism in the Philippines reemerged in the 1990s and 2000s, partially driven by punk subculture, the great schism in the Philippine left, and the general post-communist condition imposed by the collapse of the Soviet Union. This historical crisis in the Philippine left resulted in new libertarian traditions. Being largely a reaction to […]

BELÉM, BRAZIL — As the COP30 climate summit comes to a close here in Belém, in the Brazilian state of Pará, conference organizers have little to show after two weeks of highly publicized talks.

In a statement exclusive to The Electronic Intifada, Middlebrough said he […]
Initially, none of us were thinking about going to the No Kings Protest on October 18th. We thought that the march would be a waste of our energy, and most of us were long tired of the same formula of the A-to-B march. However, Crimethinc’s call for anti-authoritarian blocs at No Kings 2 was enough […]
We call it “Anarchist Christmas”. It’s not because of all the pageantry, or the stack of presents you leave with, or even the cake. We live in a divided world, spiralling further into reactionary protectionism and hostile politics cheered on by hate-filled populists. No one is finding inspiration in the doomscroll. The authoritarians and capitalists […]
There are not enough words to describe the horror that causes us the massacre of more than 130 poor young black men murdered by the Rio de Janeiro police, with the excuse of attacking drug trafficking. It was an urban war operation in which the state government mobilized 2,500 armed military police for the war, […]
Weaving Paths from Colonial Apocalypse to Ecological Revolution https://www.firefund.net/pathstoecorevolution People who are paying attention know that wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, and floods are becoming more frequent, more extreme, more dangerous.

November 2025: territories occupied by the Brazilian state — December, January, and beyond: the World! In Belém, they’re exploiting workers and cutting down parts of the Amazon to get ready for the COP30, the yearly UN-sponsored climate summit. For 30 years, government leaders, scientists, major NGOs, and corporations from around the world have been claiming […]
We were always terrorists, we were always illegal. Whether it’s on the streets, during some occupation, or just sat at home, the weight of the state is always upon us. Every Anarchist knows this; whether they have the paperwork to back up their actions is a secondary thought. Should they wish, at any point, unless […]

The past few days has seen a series of protests in Nepal. Around the world this has been reduced to a reactionary response by youth to a “social media ban”. This is a shallow obfuscation of the actual situation which has seen a long build up across the counrty against the corruption, nepatisim and authoritarian […]
Mutual aid is a foundational element of Anarchism, but it is often difficult to translate theory into meaningful action while surviving the hellscape of late stage capitalism. Still, up and down the land there are a variety of practical examples from Food not Bombs stands, to Community Toolsheds, and Infoshops. Free Shops often go under […]
by Sophie Chemenitski aged 66½ What is the reason that flags really upset me? I grew up in Belfast between 1959 and 1977. I’ve hardly been back. Flags, in Northern Ireland, are the sign of whether you are a nationalist or a unionist. At first sight, that’s fine. People are entitled to their opinions. Freedom […]
Exceptionalization and Reification of State Violence Rising WatersThe present is unbearable. Genocidal violence continues to be the language of daily life.

Despite the marches and […]

Behind the glittering slogan of “green energy,” the reality on the ground tells a different story: deforestation, land grabbing from Indigenous communities, ecological destruction, increased carbon emissions, and a wave of criminalization against locals defending their land. Halmahera Island is a stark example. In this region, 1,465 land-based industrial permits have been issued—108 for metal-mineral […]
The first time I had lived experience of how deep class division in the UK runs was shortly after my arrival, when a much younger version of myself began my first romantic relationship on these isles. ‘It’s not gonna last,’ remarked someone I used to share a squat with, a someone who was merely a […]
Why Deregulation Won’t Solve the Housing Crisis Snails have now joined bats, newts, and spiders on the government’s blame list for why you can’t afford a home.

It Was Never Bright to Begin With: The Military Dual Function and Our Historical Amnesia Since early 2025, the hashtag #IndonesiaGelap (“Indonesia in Darkness”) has become the rallying cry of student activists, leftist groups, pro-democracy advocates, NGOs, and even large parts of the anarchist circle.

BackgroundThe Trump administration has ramped up its terrorization of immigrant communities throughout the “United States”. This shattering of the illusion of “checks and balances” has accelerated the turn to blatant authoritarianism in this country. The administration has open white supremacists in its ranks and increased funding to the ICE Budget, which rivals many nation-states’ militaries. […]
Rafah, 16th March 2003.The world, my world, narrowed to a single point. The war, the wars, that had filled my thoughts raged on around. The Iraq war buildup.
