EDITORIAL – What’s in the latest Organise!?

The Anarchist Federation present Organise! 71, with its themes on religion and 
international issues. Our continuing series on anarchist influences on art and 
culture looks at the work and life of one of the greatest writers of the 20th 
century, John Dos Passos. Organise! has carried a number of articles on the 
struggle against anti-fascism in the past, not least the well received articles 
on the Zazous of France and the Edelweiss Pirates of Germany. Yet another 
fascinating group that rejected the ideology of Nazism were the Schlurfs of 
Vienna.Organise! takes a look at this early youth subculture with its rejection 
of the work ethic and its embracing of the pleasure principle.

We continue the international theme developed in Organise! 70 with a report of 
the Congress of International of Anarchist Federations held in Carrara in Italy, 
a traditional stronghold of anarchism. This year was the 40th anniversary of the 
founding of the International in Carrara. Anarchist Federation members attended 
this important event and were enthused by the spirit of revolutionary zeal and 
international comradeship and friendship there.

We also look at the situation in Oaxaca where a movement, rooted among the 
working class, peasants and poor has wide popular support and is now facing 
ferocious government repression.
