Agorism is a social philosophy that advocates creating a society in which all relations between people are voluntary exchanges by means of counter-economics, engaging with aspects of peaceful revolution.

ALERT!
To public opinion, to national and international solidarity, to the Government of the State of Hidalgo and the Government of Mexico:

We strongly denounce the repeated death threats against the activist Filiberta Nevado Temples and the defenders of the Zacacuatla forest, Acaxochitlán, Hidalgo State, Mexico.

Filiberta Nevado Temples, inhabitant of the Community of Zacacuatla of the Municipality of Acaxochitlán, which is located 2,254 meters above sea level in the Sierra Otomí-Tepehua of the State of Hidalgo and that borders the State of Puebla, in recent days she denounced that she has been threatened with death by some of the main members of the logging mafia that operate on the borders between Hidalgo and Puebla.

Filiberta along with hundreds of people from the area have bravely defended the forests of Acaxochitlán and the region from clandestine logging, especially since 1999 when the Canales Temples family illegally appropriated a 55-hectare forest in which it is located. the main spring from which the Community of Zacacuatla is supplied with drinking water, this in order to cut it down.

The anarcho-syndicalist organization calls on all alternative collectives and unions to join this call and participate, to create a broad front that includes all common demands.

The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) has announced, through a statement, that it has agreed to call a General Strike within the Community of Madrid, foreseeably for the end of October.

The CGT considers that the reasons for calling this strike are more than justified. Among them, the collapse of the health system stands out, where the different administrations have given preference to economic factors over the lives of people, especially those most disadvantaged.

In this sense, CGT points out that despite this second wave of Covid-19, public health continues to be privatized at the expense of people who risk their lives to protect that of citizens without any kind of political support.

CGT also denounces the double reality in terms of educational centers, where those who can afford private medical personnel also have the means to guarantee adequate education, while many other people depend on public centers, and do not even know if they will be able to continue receiving classes in the coming months due to the evolution of the pandemic.

CGT indicates that, as has happened with health, in education the economic factor has also prevailed over the legitimate needs of people. That is why in these collapsed public centers, there is a lack of teachers, medical personnel and the means in general so that students can attend them with minimum security conditions.

Elias Arambula 23 hours ago Sexual assault is real. Protect your children from people who will viciously take advantage of them. The vulnerable who are brought to this world are preyed upon by monsters. Mexico is in a crisis. I find it sad how this government just ignores it like it’s nothing. There is a war between those who want peace and tranquility but in a stand still with those who seek violence and fear. 70

G C 15 hours ago The sad thing about this is that in mexico they say this women are crazy and shouldn’t be allowed to do anything because they aren’t abused. Mexicans call them feminazis when this girls don’t even have rights to be free 10

From London Anarchist Bookfair

We wish we could be together again this year to meet old comrades and foes, conspire, educate, organize and plot in person, but due to Covid-19, this event will be held online from Saturday 17th October to Sunday 18th October 2020.

Welcome Page Events Programme Groups Organise

We did our best effort to facilitate our collective’s first anarchist bookfair, and to try and make it accessible and inclusive online.

If we made any errors, we apologies in advance. We hope you will enjoy this year’s online edition, and if you have any issues please get in touch via the email below.

The composition of the organising collectives behind the various Anarchist bookfairs in London has changed many times over the years and we are proud to take on the task of bringing a prominent bastion of Anarchist and radical thinking back to London. The London Anarchist Bookfair has been a vital component of the Anarchist community since it’s inception in 1981 and we intend to carry on in this fine tradition.
