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 current
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 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."

1. The crisis of the democratic-popular strategy and the limits of the
institutional path. --- The Brazilian situation continues to deepen the
contradictions that permeate the labor, popular, and student movements.
In yet another electoral cycle, the struggle for government and state
institutions is once again presented as the only alternative. However,
the experience of recent decades highlights the limitations of the
democratic-popular strategy, hegemonic in broad sectors of the left and
whose main expression is the Workers' Party (PT). This strategy has
placed electoral competition and state management at the center of
political action, progressively subordinating popular organization to

Tue Oct 06 20:07:07 GMT 2026
Local cross-industry bodies-specifically departmental and local
unions-are struggling within the CGT. Born of a historical process, they
are now seeking a new role following the collapse of Stalinism. The
situation is evolving, yet numerous obstacles persist. --- The 54th
Congress decided to demand that grassroots unions increase the resources
made available to local and departmental unions. These two levels of
local organization often serve as the entry point for employees into the
confederation. Crucially, the issue is not about altering the
distribution of membership dues among the CGT's various structures-a
topic in itself. Rather, it concerns the allocation of available union

Albert Camus, Maurice Joyeux, Louis Lecoin, Gaston Leval, Rirette
Maitrejean, Jean-Paul Samson, and others are brought together in this
book-*Ecrits libertaires (1948-1960)*-thanks to Lou Marin and a reissue
by Les Belles Lettres. In his substantial preface, Alexis Lager,
Secretary of the *Société des Études camusiennes* (Society for Camus
Studies), echoes the emotionally charged words of Raymond Guilloré in
*La Révolution prolétarienne*: "Camus was one of us," as well as the
statement in *Le Monde libertaire*: "Albert Camus, who valued team
spirit above all else, was our comrade."

The effects of the Ukrainian war are increasingly impacting the
institutional structure of the European Union, its policies, the
community aequis, and its values, corroding the Union from within with
the same virulence as a pandemic virus preparing its annihilation .
Until now, we have supported the project of building the European Union,
even though we were aware that it was an economic and political
structure managed by the ordoliberalism prevailing in Europe. But we
were willing to pay the price of joining the project of Franco-Rhine
industrial and financial capital, in the illusion of seeing the war
between the continent's peoples, which tore the flesh of Europe's

Science fiction writers, especially North American ones, have devoted
themselves to mapping the future of the West and the world, even
building behavioral models of mechanical devices, most notably Isaac
Asimov and his positronic robots. Finally, we're there: Asimov's
centralized Multivac has transformed into Artificial Intelligence
algorithms, and these are already moving toward merging into a single
digital mind. And there's not much to be happy about... The advent of
Artificial Intelligence, in fact, represents not a simple technical
innovation, but a profound restructuring of productive forces and modes
of social control, as well as, obviously, the way we investigate and

Taking advantage of the summer lull in activism, the Lecornu government
has made announcements that continue the trend of dismantling Social
Security and its founding principle of solidarity across professions and
generations. Healthcare policies appear to be driven not by studies from
competent institutional bodies-such as the Social Security
Directorate-but rather by plutocratic ideologies. --- Introduced in 2004
and 2008 respectively, the flat-rate healthcare co-payment[1]and the
medical deductible[2]will affect 13 million people in 2026-including
those with chronic or long-term illnesses (ALD), recipients of permanent
disability annuities due to occupational diseases or workplace

"The society of hierarchy and money in which we live generates violence
every day, while simultaneously producing a thick layer of moral
anesthesia that makes this violence bearable. The capacity to perceive
violence-a necessary condition for revolt-has become something that
requires an effort. Daily interactions are a vast, complex game of
disguising this brutality. --- The primary rule is to fragment
individual activity, making it impossible to view people as whole
beings. What would a worker think if the full chain of cause and effect
behind the repetitive little motions of his daily routine were suddenly
laid bare before him? The machines he operates churn out exploitation,

Mon Oct 05 03:28:14 GMT 2026
While the past week saw a surge of actions in solidarity with our
anti-fascist comrade Gino-who faces extradition to Hungary-the week
ahead perfectly illustrates the intensifying repression directed at
activists and the social movement as a whole. Two significant legal
events are taking place in quick succession: On Tuesday, September 8,
the trial of Ritchy Thibault was held at the Paris Judicial Court.
Thibault is a revolutionary, radical environmentalist, and anti-racist
activist, as well as a member and spokesperson for PEPS (*Pour une
Écologie Populaire et Sociale*-For a Popular and Social Ecology). He is
being prosecuted by the public prosecutor for his public stances against

On July 30, 2026, approximately 60,000 people (and over 1,000 unreported
deaths), driven by Moroccan and perhaps other intelligence agents, aided
by Moroccan border police, crossed the border dividing the exclave of
Ceuta from Morocco, effectively invading what is Spanish territory but
belongs neither to Europe nor the Schengen area . The exodus stemmed
from a series of fake news stories that led them to believe that by
entering Spanish territory they could take advantage of the measures
enacted by the Sánchez government granting residence permits (not
citizenship) to people who had been in Spain for years and had certified
employment. The migrants pushed to invade Ceuta believed, also based on
