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."

The year 2021, like the previous year, was strongly influenced by the corona
pandemic, which on the one hand dictated the circumstances of the further
development of our organization and on the other hand influenced our work in the
social struggles. Despite the limitations that the pandemic and the repressive
state handling of it meant for our construction and our work, this year we were
able to take some further steps towards building a powerful, revolutionary
anarchist organization that is active in the social struggles of our region and

On January 22, 2022, neo-Nazis will once again try to use the Allied bombing raid
on Magdeburg on January 16, 1945 for their propaganda. In a disgusting attempt at
a misanthropic perpetrator-victim reversal, entirely in the militaristic
tradition of historical National Socialism, they use the victims of World War II
as a means of spreading their racist ideas. In doing so, they not only conduct
historical revisionist propaganda, but also soil the memory of the millions of
Jewish people killed by the Nazis, Sinti:ze, Rom:nja and people who did not fit
the Nazi image and were enslaved and murdered in the fascist death machine have been.
Even if the number of participants in the Nazi demonstration has decreased

With 3.62 million young people being employed, and 326,000 of them being 16-17
year olds, young people make up a large portion of the ‘low-skilled' jobs
workforce, with the majority of young people being employed in the food or retail
industry. Due to their lack of experience of work, it is easy for companies and
bosses to exploit a young work force, with accounts of young workers being
frequently underpaid, being paid unfairly, working in unsafe environments, being
given shifts of illegal lengths and even, in some cases, young people facing
sexual harassment by managers in the workplace.
Young people in the UK are exploited as cheap labour, with workers doing long
hours for a measly sum of often only £4.62 an hour for under 18s and £6.56 for

While our social camp organized demonstrations against violence against women on
November 20, 25 and 27, the far right united to attack them, from the racist
banner to the blows of belts, the fascist thugs apply their ideology . ---- The
far right, accustomed to attacks against anti-patriarchal mobilizations (and
particularly LGBTI) turned a corner in November by physically attacking several
marches against gender-based and sexual violence. ---- In Paris, it is Némésis -
a collective which, under cover of feminism, defends racist and Islamophobic
theses - which tries to disrupt the demonstration of November 20. Quickly calmed
down by a unitary anti-fascist reaction from the demonstrators, this disturbance
led to the violent intervention of nationalist, royalist and fascist militants.

To our anarchist comrades, a short note on what happened in the demonstrations of

practiced by the government forces against the defenseless peaceful
revolutionaries. This led to the martyrdom of 7 revolutionaries in the center of

The people decided to take control of the capital, Khartoum, and all the cities
of Sudan, and to declare comprehensive civil disobedience as of today, January

checkpoints. The security forces appear and disappear from time to time to

Regarding the agreement reached by the Metro unions, with the favorable report of
the corresponding legal advice, regarding the bonuses for the month of vacations,
a lot of demagoguery has been carried out in various WhatsApp and Telegram
groups, trying to entangle a skein of accusations against everyone unions. ----
This initiative is headed by well-known "ex-unionists" and their acolytes,
intending to resume their old positions in their union or form a new "union", for
which they need to sow discord and discredit the rest of the union organizations,
based on lies or half-truths, perhaps as Trump, Ayuso and Casado do in politics.
Information regarding the legal and negotiation process has been, and continues
to be, available to everyone during these years and specifically about the
