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."

From August 26 to 28, the Anarchist Studies Network organized its ninth
conference, with this year's central theme being the search for a form
of anarchism that avoids anthropocentrism. On one hand, there is an
increasingly urgent need for activism to address the protection of the
environment, animals, forests, and even specific spaces against
exploitation and destruction for profit. On the other hand, critical
voices regarding technology are becoming more frequent. In a widely
discussed book, Karen Hao argues that corporate-controlled AI
development is imperial in nature; Yanis Varoufakis has long warned
against the concentration of power in the hands of techno-feudal giants

Although few pages have been devoted to Black libertarian activists in
Brazil, they were at the forefront of major events and achievements of
the Brazilian labor movement. The chronology would undoubtedly begin
with the teacher, philosopher, and journalist Antônio Pedro de
Figueiredo (1814-1859). Figueiredo founded the journal O Progresso
(1846-1848), which benefited from contributions by other writers who,
like him, had been influenced by French "utopian" socialism. In Recife,
during the 1840s, there was a small colony of French immigrants, among
whom was the socialist engineer Louis Vauthier; he had brought with him
several works by socialist authors, such as Saint-Simon, Owen, and

The challenge is not to romanticize native forms, but to recognize the
plurality of political forms and learn from their strategies of social
articulation outside of state logics. ---- Capitalist modernity, which
in our territory began with the arrival of European invaders at the end
of the 15th century, gradually shaped several ideological constructs
that remain in effect to this day. On the one hand, the liberal ideas
that emerged in Europe established the concept of the "individual" as an
autonomous subject within their social context who, through their own
effort and achievements, can be the master of their own destiny and
differentiate themselves infinitely from other individuals, even while

Arms Race. ---- Horizons of War, to paraphrase a famous film, could be
the definition of our time, in which armed conflicts, whether actual or
threatened, occupy the political and media space and present themselves
with a compelling force that brooks no discussion or reconsideration.
But war itself is nothing new; it hasn't appeared on the scene recently.
The history of the 20th century, to focus on a specific period, unfolded
through two tragic world wars, and the subsequent period, that of armed
peace and nuclear weapons as a deterrent, as Eduardo Galeano reminded us
a few decades ago in his extraordinary book, Upside Down: The School of
the World Upside Down , saw the deaths of more than 20 million people

During the 2026 eco-unionist conference held in Nantes, one of our
comrades took part in a panel discussion examining our working hours.
The idea was to work less in order to rethink priorities that are vital
for our class. Here is a look at some of the points raised... ---- The
panel's title was a nod to an essay published in 1977 by the Adret
Collective, which advocated for a drastic reduction in working hours
driven by productivity gains and automation. Long before that, in 1883,
Paul Lafargue wrote in *The Right to Be Lazy*: "Without waiting for our
actions to overturn bourgeois property, our critique and our objectives
must constantly dismantle bourgeois prejudices." It is a matter of

Last week, the Meloni government extended the suspension of the Schengen
agreement with Spain for another 15 days, receiving-as an inevitable
quid pro quo-the same treatment in return. The publicly proclaimed
reasons are the usual ones: combating illegal immigration, fighting
"terrorism," and so on. The underlying motives-for those willing to see
them-point to a resurgence of identity-based sovereignism and an attempt
to dismantle any immigration policy that does not smack of violence and
intensive exploitation.

Voting: "The instrument and symbol of a freeman's power to make a fool
of himself and a wreck of his country" ---- The saying that " only a
fool would put a loaded gun into the hands of an idiot " is an
especially apt analogy of government. An idiot (usually well-meaning)
considers himself clever enough to run the affairs of a large number of
people by taking a seat in parliament. A large number of people, acting
like fools, vote for his party's policy then spend the next few years
grumbling about the results. The error in approach is that the voter
thinks that he will get what he voted for. If he could vote for those
who in fact control the country, say the Governors of the Bank of

The facts are well known: on July 19, 2026, Abderrahim Fakir, 42, was
killed by police in Bologna. He had lived in Italy since he was seven
years old and owned a transport and porterage company. The killing is
clear from the videos, the truth before our eyes: tied up by police with
the help of helpful citizens, crushed and suffocated to death in front
of numerous witnesses and the 118 emergency services who stood by,
immobile, frightened to intervene or perhaps complicit themselves.
The case is typical , in the sense that it is one among countless others

"To argue that private property must be abolished is to argue that it is
possible to replace private-capital production with collective-capital
production in a way that benefits society as a whole. ---- To date,
socialism has produced many plans and attempts at socialization, yet the
outlines of communist or collectivist theories have largely remained on
paper. This is due to a lack of the thorough technical preparation
needed to systematize implementation efforts and to engage the broader
public in socialist solutions to the social question. The fact that so
much time is lost in Byzantine debates-over whether socialization should
be complete or partial, horizontal or vertical, state-run or union-led,

At the start of the war, the Kurds of Iran were the focus of U.S.
fantasies, portrayed as potential proxies for the conflict. Since then,
however, they have dropped out of the conversation. Let us attempt to
unravel their complex situation and understand their struggle, stripping
away imperialist fantasies. ---- Without the capacity for ground
operations, it was predictable that a bombing campaign alone would not
enable the U.S. to achieve the desired regime change in Iran. Among the
most widely discussed options, the most concrete was military action by
Iranian Kurdish political forces. Talk of this option largely subsided
after Trump accused them of diverting weapons intended for protesters
