The multiplicity of forms that anarchisms have taken in recent decades leads us to reexamine the tendencies and strategies that are re-configuring themselves or emerging from these forms, as well as their influences on other struggles.

“It’s a damn sight easier than trying to explain to him again how democratic elections work,” shared one senior WH aide, surrounded by a construction site populated of over 2,000 construction workers that have been working 24/7 to get the replica built.
What appears at first to be a mammoth task and an unachievable trick is, according to insiders, made much easier by Trump’s predictable daily routine.
“All he does is watch Fox News and play golf, so it’s not like he’ll notice a difference,” shared a source before adding that as is the case in the real Oval Office, the big red nuclear strike button will remain disconnected in the Little White Lies House, instead playing footage of explosions from Hollywood movies on a loop when pressed.
A range of problems that could disrupt Trump’s successful ongoing divorce from reality have been accounted for by staff.
“It’s not like he’ll start to ask why Melania isn’t around and not sleeping in his bed, is it? And of course for this to work properly we’ll have to convince his supporters that he’s still president too, but you’ve met them so you know how easy that will be,” explained one source.
Describing the moment of transporting Trump to the fake house as like a heist sequence straight out of Oceans 11, staff will distract Trump using a picture of his daughter before then sedating him with an injection of pure Diet Coke before he then wakes up in the faked White House where a cast of thousands of extras will be sent into the Oval Office to be fired by him for not carrying out a coup, bombing Iran, giving a hush payment to a pornstar or doing something blatantly corrupt.

Anarchists from Rozbrat squat in Poznań, together with other groups, have successfully stopped the eviction of neighbouring allotment gardens “ROD Bogdanka”.
The allotments are a part of the city’s green belt and have been used by the community since 1953. For decades, the land belonged to the state treasury. In the early 90s, it was acquired by a somewhat shadowy developers’ company Darex. Darex took out a loan to purchase the land, but then never paid it back while still maintaining their ownership rights. As of today, the company is still listed as an official owner in the land registry records for both the allotments and Rozbrat.

We anarchists stand by (not only) Polish women for their right to decide their bodies and lives. We stand on the side of light against the forces that seek to draw us into the patriarchal darkness of God, the family and the nation.

In October, 32 states signed the “Geneva Declaration of Consensus on Promoting Women’s Health and Strengthening the Family.” At first glance, this sounds like a commendable concern for women. In reality, however, it is an alliance pushing for a complete restriction of the right to abortion.
In the case of birth, it’s us Women who have something to say
And who signed himself under such atrocity? Not surprisingly, these are governments that are often autocratic, conservative, religious, or narcissistic.
—- The list is therefore dominated by the Donald Trump administration. We have been able to see his relationship with women many times. Probably the best known is his quote from 2005: “And if you’re a star, they’ll leave you. You can afford anything. (…) Catch them by the pussy. Whatever. “

The grim realities of the climate crisis, the coronavirus pandemic, and ongoing police violence have laid bare the inadequacies of the current leadership and the existing governing system while also providing opportunities, like all crises, to create significant change.
Whether or not we achieve a historical pivot to a fundamentally different society will depend in part upon maintaining militant and creative political pressure in the streets while simultaneously building forms of counter-power, counter-institutions, and organizations pre-figuring the anarchist vision of a free society.
This is a time of significant cultural upheaval in regards to issues revolving around race met by severe political reaction and the attempted retrenchment of white, patriarchal power. In contrast to the first Black Lives Matter movement several years ago in response to the murders of Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown, white people’s understanding of how historic forms of oppression continue to shape our lives is growing.
Black Lives Matter may be the largest social protest movement in US history. In the first two months after police murdered George Floyd in Minneapolis, approximately 15 to 26 million people (up to 8 percent of the population) participated in a Black Lives Matter protest.
The President employs shop-worn stereotypes to delegitimize the movement in the streets by claiming anarchists and Antifa (antifascists) are sinister elements behind these protests, but the vast majority of participants are in fact poor and working-class people of color and their white allies. This is largely a
