Brazilian Anarcha Feminist Revolutionary: Maria Lacerda de Moura, 1887-1944

Here is the story of Maria Lacerda de Moura, brave pioneer of progressive anarcha feminism on Brasil. It is thanks to the efforts of Maria and her comrades a century ago that today we have a diverse and vibrant anarchist movement.

Maria Lacerda de Moura was a teacher, journalist, writer, lecturer and poet and in everything she did her anarchist beliefs in human emancipation shone through, even when she never explicitly used the word ‘anarchism’.

review: The Fakir of Florence + The Anarchist Revelation..Paul Cudenec’s Anarcho-Spirituality

Publications on anarchism have been thriving since the early 2000s. Yet, there is still a place for surprisingly unique releases. Paul Cudenec’s The Fakir of Florence, March 2016, explores the relations between anarchism and philosophy, psychology, and religion.

The Fakir of Florence is his first novel, following from his philosophical masterpiece The Anarchist Revelation which attempts no less to equip contemporary anarchism with the transformation not only of society’s structures but also of people’s souls. People looking for in-depth analyses of governmental bodies, labor conditions, or gender and race relations might have to turn somewhere else. No single book has it all.

Paul Cudenec is both a committed activist and a scholar who seems able to synthesize the insights of the past from the roots of anarchism to Sufism to astrophysics. Cudenec provides evidence that anarchism’s roots lie partly in this life-embracing source of inspiration, the bringer of art and poetry as well as of resistance and revolt.

LA TRISTE REALIDAD DEL ACEITE DE PALMA.. Boicot Los Productos!!

Boicoteamos todos los productos con Aceite de Palma ! (mira lista ingredientes..Palm Oil)..Solo para hacer más ”beneficios” DESTRUYEN ecosistemas enteras, echando a la basura los habitantes humanos y animal. Pueden usar por ejemplo, aceite de maiz o girasol, un poquito más caro.

”Por mi parte, haré boicot tanto a la Nocilla y a la Nutella como a cualquier producto con aceite de palma. Habrá a quien le parezca una estupidez, pero yo no veo tontería alguna en boicotear un producto que fomenta la deforestación y ha llevado a la cuasi extinción a al menos dos especies animales (orangután de Borneo y Tigre de Sumatra). Considero que es una cosa muy seria con la que es fácil comprometerse en nuestro papel de consumidores informados, exigentes y, por qué no, poderosos.” la tia Maruja

El aceite de palma es el más utilizado del mundo, pudiéndose encontrar en diversos productos que la mayoría de la gente consume de forma diaria, y seguramente muchos no lo sepan. ¿Sabías que el aceite de palma se encuentra en uno de cada diez productos en España? Todo esto a pesar de que no es la mejor alternativa desde el punto de vista nutricional, sin tener en cuenta el coste y el impacto ecológico así como social.

Muchos se preguntarán ¿QUÉ ES EL ACEITE DE PALMA?; el aceite de palma se extrae de los frutos de la palma africana o Elaeis guineensis, planta originaria del África occidental.

Actualmente se presenta como alternativa frente a las grasas hidrogenadas, las cuales ya se ha demostrada que son nocivas para la salud. Pero no es la mejor alternativa, ya que el aceite de palma tiene un gran contenido en grasas saturadas.

Letter from Pol: one of Anarchist Prisoners of Spanish State

By P.J.C
Hello and good health to all my female and male colleagues

I would like to send you out a letter as an anarchist , I feel that all our points of view are valid . just as long as we all seek to destroy the power, authority and the State. I think therein lies the beauty of our ideas and I understand all these pathways can coexist and merge together in search of a much desired total liberation.

I want to express my hatred, disgust and contempt for everything that encompasses the State, the power, authority and its special tool of annihilation called jail, with its cruellest aspect the isolation cell.

I have always defended the idea that as anarchists we have to be prepared and assume that at any moment may come a day when we have to go to jail which, in my opinion, is logical because when you want to destroy the state, it tries to stop you and you end up locked up in order to wipe you out or paralyze you. But despite all this, they will not succeed. However if circumstances mean you don’t have to go to jail, the better for everyone!

I’m feeling OK physically and mentally. and still believingb the same as before entry and if possible, reaffirmed in most of my ideas, with my head held high and proud of what we are. I am how I behave and relate in theory and praxis, but always self-critical, so as to keep growing and never stop learning and I by saying all this I do not feel I’m better or worse than anyone else.
