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."

Money is a central issue in economics, and therefore in politics. In recent
years, there has been increasing talk of digital currencies. The emergence of the
bitcoin cryptocurrency a little over ten years ago has sparked the interest of
many people and institutions, including the central banks of major economic
powers. It is therefore time to take a closer look. ---- Text from the
Libertarian Communist Union website. Link to the original, here . ---- To reflect
on the issue of digital currencies, let's start by realizing that we are in fact
talking about a digital transaction system, not to be confused with the currency
itself: a digital euro would always be a euro, would be governed by the same

The expansion of Covid 19 and its new strains has been wreaking havoc on our
continent. Thousands of deaths per day, especially from the popular classes.
Either in those countries like Brazil where a genocide takes place due to the
inaction of the State and the Bolsonaro government, or those more liberal, there
are no effective measures in health care, but much less in terms of social needs.
Hunger, unemployment, precariousness, have increased with this unfolding
economic-health crisis. Everything seems to indicate that the situation will get
worse and that we will once again be the ones from below who will pay for the
broken dishes of the party from above.

the United States have launched a relentless campaign of criminal imperialist
intervention in West Asia. ---- From the military attacks, the occupations, the

conclude that the people of this region have not experienced peace for over a

In recent years, and especially during the pandemic period, the state has been
trying to carry out a complete restructuring in the field of education. With a
stack of bills passed recently, the state and capital are launching an
unprecedented attack on students and pupils, trying to make education a privilege
for the few and the elite, degrade the public character of universities and turn
them into spaces. where nothing other than the sterile academic process will take
place. The law that abolishes asylum, the law that provides for the establishment
of university police, the expulsion of students, the upgrading of disciplinary
penalties, the installation of cameras and controlled entry to universities,

The capture of fighters who have stood with an irresistible revolutionary spirit
against the enemy can not leave us indifferent. One such fighter is the anarchist
Dimitris Hadjivassiliadis. He did not capitulate, he did not repent, he did not
surrender to his persecutors. He continued the fight by taking responsibility in
marginal conditions. He defied the personal cost, the fear of which has bent many
who are not entitled to the office of "fighter". His imprisonment is a negative
development that fills us with anger. ---- We recognize the capture of the
comrade as a station of his racing path and not a static quagmire. We are
confident that he will emerge from this ordeal stronger and stronger than ever,
continuing to live "in the radical embodiment of historical myths." We are

role of organisation, insurrectionism, class analysis, freedom and collective

The Haitian Revolution was not a feminist any more than the French Revolution.
Certainly, it released a collective feminine protest since, after the abolition
of slavery, on certain plantations, women farmers fought against inequality of
remuneration. But for the rest, even if the enslaved women engaged en masse in
the insurrection of 1791, then in the popular resistance in 1802, they had only
exceptionally access to military ranks and civil responsibilities. ---- Women
took part en masse in the uprising of 1791, then in the popular resistance in
1802, but they remained, for the most part, anonymous. ---- Agostino Brunias,
Women of Color with their Children and Servants in a Landscape (1764-1796).

We understand the anarchist struggle as a multifaceted process against the
capitalist world, what it creates and what it reproduces. Against all
authoritarian, military, hierarchical logic, we propose companionship and
solidarity, because the collectivities we build here and now, communities of
struggle, communication, self-education, coexistence are the leaven of our future
communities, of the visions we want to see realized. We are against the State and
capital, against nationalism, patriotism, sexism, fascism, racism, homophobia,
against everything that speaks the language of power and proposes the rottenness
of capitalism. And all these are key issues of our daily struggle, of our daily
attitude, they happen within us individually and collectively at the same time.

Anarchist Federation motion passed at the 79th congress in Merlieux, August 22,
2021 ---- The social climate is one of unrest: social crisis, health crisis,
economic crisis... ---- Riding on the wave of social unrest, the State takes the
opportunity to reinforce its security and repression apparatus in order to
satisfy an increasingly conservative electorate. ---- With the movement of
theGilets Jaunes[Yellow Jackets], the forces of the Macronian order have a free
course to repress the manifestations with virulence, resulting in a large number
of mutilated people. Since the beginning of the protests, the interior ministers
have, one after the other, defended the actions of the repressive forces.

The following report was sent to us about the police operation on the
Möllerbrücke in the night from Friday to Saturday: ---- On Saturday evening
around one o'clock, our heroes in uniform had to do everything they can to
protect law and order in Dortmund. This time the crime scene was the Möllerbrücke
in Dortmund, where about 150 wanted to end their well-deserved Friday evening. It
started when two firecrackers were detonated on the bridge. The heroic police had
to rush up for the first time to ensure safety. After the cops had expertly
calculated the potential risk by driving a patrol car and two tubs slowly past
ten times, a first attempt at contact was made. This was stopped at short notice
after a bottle flew near the cops. It was evacuated quickly and the reverse gear
