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."

I know that Italy, today as yesterday, continues to desire punishment
more than justice. I know that the Italian people, eternally manipulated
and anesthetized by a culture of fear, will welcome this new law on
castration with a cry of relief. But I also know that behind what is
sold as justice, there is the most vulgar and pornographic display of
power. ---- I am speaking, of course, of the law approved yesterday by
the Meloni government, a measure that authorizes chemical castration for
repeat sexual assault offenders. A political gesture that has the sound

propaganda. Corporal punishment disguised as protection, revenge passed

history, geography, and literature at the Self-Managed High School of
Paris (LAP, now the Innovative High School of Paris[1]), Kai teaches

internal email, a list of teachers, I described "a power grab" at the

of councils to a power grab by certain soviets." It was this email that
was criticized by the hierarchy, as well as another in which I stated

It is worth making a general premise. The strikes, in fact, of the
grassroots unionism, except that they are different from each other in
terms of the number of unions that join, the area that converges in
supporting them, the context in which they occur, the internal relations
within this world, have as their first and obvious objective the
following: to make visible, first of all, to the workers that the
grassroots unionism organizes, as well as to the social sectors with
which it is in relation, the political union proposal of the grassroots
unionism itself.

Wed Jul 16 04:49:35 GMT 2025
The heart of the beast creaks from within because the consequences of US
imperialism also resound like war drums in its own home. Not everything
that glitters is a Jebediah Springfield-style gringo; the working class
and immigrants of the United States are also organizing and standing up
with fists determined to fight. It would be unfair to blame all of US
racist policy on the figure of Donald Trump; the political and
ideological structure of the United States goes far beyond a simple
tyrant who takes all the barbs without considering its entire structure.

This past weekend in Los Angeles provocative ICE raids sparked fierce
protest as community members turned out to disrupt the kidnapping and
terrorizing of their neighbors and loved ones. As the situation in LA
appears to be deepening with Trump's mobilization of the National Guard

Monfalcone - Alessandro Morena, comrade, historian, libertarian
activist, left us on Friday, May 23. He was traveling in Georgia when,
after facing his health problems with great strength and courage, he
left us due to a sudden complication. The news came like a punch in the
stomach. For those who knew him, for those who shared even just a
stretch of the road with him, the pain is fierce. To Lidia and to all
the people who loved him goes our sincere, collective, partisan embrace.
But Alessandro was not just a friend. He was not just a comrade. He was
a living piece of rebellious history of Monfalcone and the Isonzo area,
one of those who got their hands dirty to change the world.

Before coming to power, Trump boasted that he could resolve the war in
Ukraine in 24 hours. Six months later, nothing seems to be able to
change the situation. For three years, the war launched by Putin has
continued its work of destruction and death. The threat of a
geographical spread of the conflict haunts the Western left. Where do
the opposing forces stand? What game are the various intervening powers
playing? What positions should our comrades in the East and the social
movement take, from an internationalist and anti-imperialist perspective?

From time to time, the media draws public attention to the wage
situation in Italy for a few days or weeks. It is then certified that
real wages have decreased over the last two or three decades. Recently,
data from the International Labour Organization (ILO), contained in the
World Wage Report 2024-25, attest to a loss of purchasing power for
Italy from 2008 to today of 8.7%, the highest figure among the G 20
countries. Furthermore, on May 21, Istat released the 2025 Annual Report
on the situation of the country, which shows that between 2019 and 2024,
real wages have lost 10.5% of purchasing power, due to inflation and low
wages. And if real income from work in 2024 is higher than in 2014, it

Revolts can blossom and accompany one of the many springs that have
blossomed here and there. They dare, challenge, and sometimes even
defeat the regimes in power. Are they doomed to die? ---- The match via

March 8, 2020 Modena. As in Italy, as in Europe and throughout the
world, covid arrives and the other becomes a virus, potentially lethal.
As if to say: your neighbor is no longer to be loved, but to be
distanced as soon as possible as a germ. The suspended feminist
demonstrations, the impossibility of gathering to talk; those who can
barricade themselves behind the few masks that have become unobtainable.
People who have not yet understood anything wander around the half-empty
city with incredulous eyes. The most imaginative people make masks with
sanitary towels, handkerchiefs, filters and whatever else, but above all
they stay away.
