The Anarchist Library

So, if we want to destroy this world of organized exploitation and boredom, we must talk about the overcoming of classes and not wiggle the shroud of “class struggle” as a flag. Red anarchists that talk about class struggle have a corpse in their mouths which has begun to rot. In continuous anarchist insurrection, all classes are abolished. The individual, discovering in a liberating manner its conscious self, is in total rupture with the class of which it comes from, whether this is the proletarian one or the petty bourgeois.

here's one of my favorite zines that I've read recently.

What Does the Syndicalist Women’s Union Want? Milly Witkop-Rocker What Does the Syndicalist Women’s Union Want? 1922 Translated by Jesse Cohn.

Modern anarchists tend to know about only a few famous anarchist women from history like Emma Goldman. One woman who doesn't get enough attention is Milly Witkop-Rocker. She advocated the creation of women's groups within syndicalist trade unions.

Looks like someone created The Anarchist Library Wikpedia page. As the saying goes, "you know you've made it when you have a Wikipedia page" ;D

The text for part 4 of A Modern Anarchism, "Organization," is now on The Anarchist Library ahead of its release as a video essay. In Part 4 I apply Viable Systems Theory to horizontal organization, develop a general theory of horizontal administration, and discuss planning.

For those interested in some of the previous work of whatever Ediciones inéditas is about:

Written — in — Red To Our Living Dead in Mexico’s Struggle Written in red their protest stands, For the gods of the World to see; On the dooming wall their bodiless hands have blazoned “Upharsin,” and flaring brands Illumine the message: “Seize the lands! Open the prisons and make men free!” Flame out the living words of the dead Written — in — red. gods of the World! Their mouths are dumb! Your guns have spoken and they are dust. But the shrouded Living, whose hearts were numb, have felt the beat of a wakening drum Within them sounding-the Dead men’s tongue — Calling: “Smite off the ancient rust!” Have beheld “Resurrexit,” the word of the Dead, Written — in — red. Bear it aloft, O roaring, flame! Skyward aloft, where all may see. Slaves of the World! Our caose is the same; One is the immemorial shame; One is the struggle, and in One name — Manhood — we battle to set men free. “Uncurse us the Land!” burn the words of the Dead, Written — in — red. Voltairine deCleyre’s last poem.

The last poem written by Voltairine de Cleyre, American anarchist writer, activist, & feminist:
"Written — in — Red."
