struggles as well
as the fight against
racism, sexism and homophobia.
A-INFOS-ORG
The A-Infos news
lists are democratically self-managed by an international
organizational collective. Here's how to participate.
We especially encourage women, non-english speaking people, and those
living outside of Europe and America. Here is a list of our policies.
A-INFOS VISION
The A-Infos Project is coordinated by an international
collective of revolutionary anti-authoritarian,
anti-capitalist activists, involved with class
struggle and who regard it as a total social struggle.
These are people who conceive themselves as
revolutionary class struggle social anarchists,
anarcho-communists, libertarian communists, syndicalists
and others who hold similar opinions but use other labels.
A-Infos is organized by people who feel anarchism is a
social theory, and that a revolution is necessary to
bring about the new class-less social order, and that
this revolution can only be made by the vast majority
of the working people.
The specific kind of anarchism we talk about and
promote is the anarchism of the Haymarket martyrs and
those expelled by Karl Marx from the First
International for criticizing his authoritarianism and
the elitist, vanguardist degradation of the masses of
The specific kind of anarchism we talk about and
the working class...
We do not support the kind of anarchism proposed by some
pseudo-modernists and pseudo-"revolutionaries" who
regard symbolic activity as substitute to mass
struggle, or the kind of anarchism of "humanists" who hold
other tasks as equal or more important than the
revolutionary struggle for abolishing the capitalist
system.
A-Infos work is not inspired by egoistic and
egocentric individualism, primitivism, "free
capitalism without a state" or even a state without
free capitalism - who oppose the present capitalist
order but do not offer instead a viable model of modern
social order of freedom, equality, and solidarity.
It is not enough for individuals and groups to use an
anarchist label for their texts to be distributed by
A-Infos.
In the struggle for a free society, we distribute news
and articles in several languages, covering a wide
range of areas of struggle. These include workplace
and environmental struggles as well as the fight
against racism, sexism and homophobia. A-Infos also
distributes news on indigenous peoples
anti-colonialist fight against settlers, occupation
and marginalization, as well as anti-nationalist and
anti-regional separatist struggles, because workers
have no country but the world as a whole....
A-Infos is specialized press agency, in the service
(as we see it best) of the movement of revolutionary
anti-capitalist activists who are involved in the
various social struggles against the capitalist class
and its social system.
A-Infos is not an open "liberal" service that
distributes anything "we" are sympathetic to -- it is
not Indymedia. It is first of all a free distribution
tool for information from and about collectives of
anarchist (and other anti authoritarian
revolutionaries) involved in the struggle.
A-Infos workers do not think we are the ones who
should decide who, on the social anarchist camp, is a
"real" anarchist or not. However, as resources are
limited, we have the right and duty to (autonomously)
choose what we distribute what we feel is best among
the contributions and contributors. The freedom of
association the A-Infos collective is based on means
nothing without the freedom not to associate, if
workers so choose.
A-Infos has a role to play in the world anarchist
movement. Information is strength. A-Infos helps to
build a sense of an international movement. A-Infos
is, to a certain extent, one of the few international
organizational tools of the movement. But to keep this
role it must stay a tool in the service of the
movement and not a free-for-all information service.
A-Infos is not just an internal movement tool. Like
the Anarchist FAQ, it's also a means to present the
movement to the wider audience and to a new
generation, and acquaint them with international
aspects of the movement.
A-Infos is an autonomous anarchist press agency that
is not the bullhorn of any "social" movement. Even
when self-proclaimed anarchists (or even if real ones)
are involved is not a guarantee A-Infos will
distribute contributions. Even if we ourselves
sympathize with given movements is no guarantee
articles will be posted.
Thus, A-Infos distributes the news and analysis its
workers want to share with the world non-authoritarian
activists community -- mainly posts from
anti-authoritarian revolutionary collectives and
reports about direct action of social struggle
both of activists and of common people in their daily life.
Anyone who is not satisfied with the services we
provide, is welcome to use other services or build
her/his own.
A-infos is both an organizational tool, a propaganda tool, and an
information tool of the movement -- and is not merely "news
by, about and of interest to anarchists."

(pt) [Editorial Anarkismo.net] Irã: prenúncio de mais uma invasão imperialista [ca]
a-infos-pt@ainfos.ca
Fri Feb 03 10:19:13 GMT 2012
A guerra não declarada contra o Irã já ultrapassou há bom tempo os limites de uma
guerra retórica. Desde os governos de Bush II, que na sua política de ?guerra contra
o terror? enquadrou o Irã no ?eixo do mal?, até o governo Obama, os Estados Unidos
conseguiram que a ONU passasse 4 sanções econômicas contra o Irã. Todas as sanções
são justificadas com o mesmo argumento: o governo dos aiatolás está enriquecendo
urânio com o propósito de construir armas nucleares. A última resolução, de 9 de
junho de 2011, ampliou o escopo de sanções já aprovadas nas três resoluções
anteriores. A resolução prevê punições a entidades estrangeiras que venham a vender
petróleo refinado ao Irã, ou auxiliar a sua capacidade doméstica de refinamento.
Países estão proibidos também de permitir que o Irã invista em suas plantas de

Gostaríamos de informar que em 8 de fevereiro de 2012 haverá um novo julgamento
contra quatro membros da Iniciativa Anarco-Sindicalista (ASI) da Sérvia, e de dois
anarquistas não afiliados, de Belgrado, como parte de um processo judicial contra os
Seis de Belgrado (BG6). Os seis libertários em Belgrado são acusados de incitar,
auxiliar e executar um ataque contra a Embaixada da Grécia em Belgrado, no final de
agosto de 2009, em solidariedade a um preso político grego em greve de fome.
Imediatamente após o ataque à embaixada, os BG6 (Tadej Kurepa, Ratibor Trivunac,
Ivan Savic, Ivan Vulovic, Nikola Mitrovic e Sanja Dojkic) foram detidos e mantidos
presos durante os seguintes seis meses, acusados de "terrorismo internacional".

(en) Britain, Freedom* December 2011 - REHABILITATION REVOLUTION?
a-infos-en@ainfos.ca
Fri Feb 03 07:07:55 GMT 2012
Well, it appears that the tail has finally been pinned on the ‘Rehabilitation Revolution’
donkey with the publishing of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill
and all the in-fighting surrounding what would and would not be included in its final
draft. And lo, it has come to pass that many of us have been right all along and the
so-called revolution has been nothing less than the reordering of deckchairs on the
penological Titanic. ---- So, far from being radical in any of the myriad senses of the
word, some that even a conservative can apparently lay claim to, it turned out to be
largely slanted towards increasing the lengths of sentences rather than as Clarke had
previously stated, cutting the numbers of prisoners. Having initially pledged that he
would slow the increase in prison numbers and cut the population by 3000 by the end of

(en) Ireland, Report from 40th anniversary of Bloody Sunday March by Sean Matthews & Sean Dubh

Despite the opposition of the governing SInn Fein party, relatives of families of the
victims of Bloody Sunday and political supporters, including Irish anarchists, marched in
remembrance last Saturday. A report from the anarchists present and a background to the
issues behind those determined to continue the annual commemoration. ---- A few thousand
people took part in the 40th anniversary Bloody Sunday march demanding real truth and
justice after the publishing of the Saville report this year which confirmed that the
massacre was ’unjustifiable and unjustified.’ ---- This years march clearly divided the
families and relatives of the Bloody Sunday Trust with the majority deciding to end the
march with some pressure being concerted by Sinn Fein. Despite attempts by the political
class to co-opt and de-radicalise the march and brush it under the carpet as part of the
