T H Livingstone and James Sherriff It is no exaggeration to say that we are at a turning point in history. Our collective response to the global crises we are now facing will determine our success in not only the next few years, but the next few decades – perhaps […]
Social Anarchism and Organisation by the Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro (FARJ) is a practical elaboration of the popular anarchist tendency of especifismo in South America. Especifismo takes its ideological roots from traditional anarchists and communists such as the 19th Century Russian anarchist Mikhail Bakunin and the 19th and […]
Reproductive labour has an essential role in the capitalist apparatus. It reproduces class divisions, structural racism and the subjugation of women to the needs of capital on an international scale. In this article I am going to analyse what social reproduction is first and foremost, the historical processes of how […]
On the face of it, one of the more inexplicable elements of humans is our tendency to not only accept suffering, but to give it out to others. One can find an example in the cases of tradesmen bullying apprentices – many of the bullies were themselves bullied when they […]

In the midst of intense class struggle, Courbet’s work came at a time where his art reflected an affront to the upper classes’ political power, […]
The concept of federalism is one that appears time and time again in anarchist literature and in anarchist activity, yet in the present day, it is rarely elaborated upon – at least in English.

Bulletin #1. From the outset of the Covid-19 crisis, capitalists have been looking for a way to make workers pay for it.
