There has forever been this disconnect between the more radical and liberal Anarchists which keep us somewhat isolated from each other, even when our political positions more or less mirror each other.

Not so long ago a dejected Roger Hallam stood on a bridge and with a sad face and said “our comrades on the other bridge have not maintained revolutionary disciple and held their bridges”... he's sad because a police liaison just told him that they wont be arresting any more people today because they no […]
Extinction Rebellion is an open gate for the law. I have absolutely no doubt that XR threads and channels are swarming with undercover from various branches of the security services alongside the out and proud cops you welcome and celebrate. For the nest few years everytime an organiser meets someone new who says they started […]
While talking about solidarity and being in it together, XR reflect the SWP/SuTR and their like by pretending to be the only group in town...

Let's talk about the cops... “By the time… we were released… my fellow arrestees and I had become friends with these decent men trying to keep London safe from violence and crime.“ Here is the thing, The police are not your friend, not the ones in blue bips nor the ones who give you a […]
A few years back before Bloc By Bloc a small group of Italian Squatters wanted to bring the world of civil disobedience to the table top with “Riot – Cast The First stone”, a might little game where you could field one of three factions of the police and fight for the streets- there is […]
I don’t want to piss on anyone’s parade, I really don’t. But watching the protests by the climate revolutionaries Extinction Rebellion, I feel uneasy. It's not their methods. I know that direct action and street politics work; after all, I have done very similar protests and street action. The uneasiness here is the hierarchy of worthiness.
