Over 30 years of anarchist writing from Ireland listed under hundreds of topics
Among our recent activities was the ‘Change Not Chaos’ mini-festival organised by a Derry WSM member. Saturday September 30th saw the Dunlgoe Bar play host to a day of anarchist talks, films and music.
After more than a year of searching for a suitable venue, the Seomra Spraoi collective has finally taken possession of a space at 6 Ormond Quay, across the river from Bono’s Clarence Hotel. Despite the long wait, the hard work of the collective seems to have paid off, as the Seomra’s calendar struggles to fit all those who wish to use the space. Every week it hosts meetings for the Revolutionary Anarcha-Feminist Group, Anarchist Prisoner Support, the Revolt Video film collective, as well as the regular Thursday assembly of the Seomra Spraoi collective.
Hearing or reading about ecology or our natural environment isn’t an exciting proposition for most of us. The inevitable emphasis on destruction and likely catastrophe isn’t what we want to face into when our day-to-day lives are already tough enough. Graham Purchase in this book never dwells too long on the possible or likely results of centuries of disregard for ecology in the pursuit of profits, resources and land.
While it can be hard to come across political documents that inspire, entertain and amuse, Ramor Ryan‘s Clandestines succeeds in doing just that. Some may know Ryan from his articles in “We Are Everywhere” and “Confronting Capitalism” but Clandestines is his first published book. It is, for the main part, a travel diary and a readable mixture of personal memoir and political essay written over his many years as an anarchist activist. The book covers his journeys to a broad gamut of societies in struggle, from Berlin to Northern Ireland, Nicaragua to Turkey and many places in between.
The month of October saw the community of Rossport occupied by the Gardai Siochana. This occupation is the State response to a community trying to protect themselves against Shell: a multinational with a track record for maltreating communities which they operate in.

Dit boek dient als een introductie tot Malatesta's denken over het
anarchisme. En het is ook zeer helder denken. Je kunt het er mee eens
zijn of het er niet mee eens zijn, maar je zult niet je hoofd pijnigen door
te proberen een lading van jargon te ontcijferen.
Vi lever i en värld där vi uppmuntras att vara passiva. Vi kan antingen acceptera sakernas tillstånd eller, i bästa fall, be någon annan att göra saker för oss. Den personen kan vara en politiker, en lokal makthavare eller kanske till och med ett heltidsanställt fackföreningsombud. "Experterna" tar hand om de viktiga sakerna så vi kan stanna hemma och känna oss beroende och maktlösa. Precis som att det finns chefer och arbetare finns det också ledare och ledda; och vi förutsätts att acceptera detta som något naturligt.
More leafletting this sat.
Toãke anarhisticne platforme so izsle iz razprav med Gibanjem Solidarnosti Irskih Delavcev (Irish Workers Solidarity Movement -WSM) in Federacije Solidarnosti Delavcev Juzno Afriskih Delavcev (Soth African Workers Solidarity Federation -WSF), (ki je zdaj razpuscena). Zaradi takega ozadja, tocke predpostavljajo razumavanje kaj anarhizem je. Knjiga Anarhizem Daniela Guerina najbrz vsebuje najboljäo podrobno razlago zgodovine in teorije anarhizma iz te perspektive.
Os pontos da plataforma anarquista surgiram de discussões entre o Movimento de Solidariedade dos Trabalhadores Irlandeses e a Federação de Solidariedade dos Trabalhadores Sul Africanos (que está agora dissolvida). Por causa dessa experiência, os pontos assumem um entendimento comum do que é o anarquismo. O livro 'Anarquismo' de Daniel Guérin contém a melhor explicação da história e da teoria anarquista nessa perspectiva.
