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."

Tense Newroz amid Changes ---- Newroz was celebrated by Kurds across
Syria, including in Damascus were people are trying out how much room
there really is for Kurds under al-Sharaa. Unfortunately it has also
gone paired with violence, after an incident where a man in Kobane took
down a Syrian flag, ethnic violence was sparked, mostly in Afrin, and by
arab tribes south of Kobane. In response people in Heseke and Qamishlo
took to the streets, which led to increased asayis presences in these
major cities. The comments of al-Hilali on this situation, spokesperson
of the Syrian Presidential Team leading the integration process,
emphasize the contradictions that still stand in the way of integration.

The name "Epic Fury," chosen by Trump for the joint operation with
Israel against Iran launched on February 28, is the perfect aesthetic
framework for a manipulative strategy aimed at mortgaging the future
through instant consensus. In this scenario, the use of "Cringe" that
sense of unease felt when faced with an out-of-context act is not a
Hollywood affectation or excessive arrogance. It is a deliberate
communication technology, or, more precisely, a deliberate technology of
"capture." Its goals are, in fact, surgical: to engage Generation Z and
Millennials by mimicking their codes (from TikTok to memes); to shift
attention from the inconvenient content to the individual expressing it

Any theory of freedom that takes seriously the social and material
conditions of freedom must grapple with colonialism and imperialism, the
structures through which some nations have built their freedom and
prosperity on the unfreedom and dispossession of others. The
anarcho-communist tradition has been, on balance, more consistent in
this regard than many strands of the Marxist left, though it has not
been without its failures.
The freedom of the worker in the imperial metropole has historically
been purchased, in part, through the exploitation of colonised peoples.
The relatively high wages, social services, and political rights that

Fri Apr 10 05:56:25 GMT 2026
One of the most distinctive and enduring contributions of anarchist
political theory is the concept of prefiguration, or the insistence that
the means and ends of revolutionary activity must be consistent with
each other. A movement that aims to create a free society must itself be
organised on free principles. A politics that aspires to mutual aid and
voluntary association must practise mutual aid and voluntary association
in its own structures. You cannot build freedom through domination.
This stands in stark contrast to the Leninist conception of
revolutionary organisation, which insisted that the exigencies of
revolutionary struggle required centralised, hierarchical, disciplined

"Humanity's developments are most closely intertwined with the
surrounding nature. A secret harmony is established between the land and
the peoples it nourishes; when reckless societies dare to tamper with
what defines the beauty of their territory, they always end up
regretting it. Where the soil has been defaced, where all poetry has
vanished from the landscape, imagination has died out, the mind has
become impoverished, and routine and servility have taken hold of the
soul, leading it to torpor and death. Among the principal causes of the
decline of so many successive civilizations, the brutal violence with
which most nations have treated the nourishing Earth must be placed

In Afghanistan, the Taliban regime has recently further tightened
legislation to render women invisible, silence them, and subjugate them
to men. As March 8th approaches, UCL Montreuil invited Shakiba Dawod, a
feminist refugee in France. ---- Who still talks about Afghan women?

On this International Women's Day, Afghan women and girls are living
under one of the most totalitarian gender apartheid systems the modern
world has ever produced. And yet they are still here. Still resisting.
Still speaking, even when speaking has been made a crime. ---- Afghan
women have never stopped fighting. Long before the Taliban, they lived
under cycles of war, invasion, and patriarchal violence that tried to
erase them from public life. Soviet occupation, Mujahedeen warlordism,
civil war, each chapter brought new forms of brutality against women's
bodies and women's freedom. They survived all of it.
When the first Taliban regime seized power in 1996, it built a system of

Venezuela is rich in oil, but its people are impoverished by
imperialism, the exploitation of its resources and its workers. The
election of Hugo Chávez in 1999 transformed the country into the bête
noire of the United States. The so-called "Bolivarian Revolution" and
its increasingly authoritarian drift have profoundly affected Venezuela
and have resulted in economic collapse for years. It is against this
backdrop that Donald Trump, on January 3, 2026, launched Operation
Absolute Resolve, which was nothing short of an act of state piracy.
Let's revisit some historical elements to understand what is at stake.
