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."

On November 12, the Anti-Fascist Social Forums (FSA) will be held in

of the fight against an extreme right which is increasingly increasing
its influence and its violence. Among its targets, racialized people,
LGBTI people and left-wing activists, including those from UCL. ----
Lyon, the "capital of Gaul", is best known today for being the "capital

"The international media and politicians from various political camps

conflicts between states, then that is not our problem. If states could
all self-destruct, that would be a very good thing. Except that that's
never what it's about: wars between states are above all a project with

The decision has been made: you cannot dissolve an uprising. The
cancellation of the decree dissolving the Earth Uprisings by the Council
of State is a victory for the environmental movement, and for the entire
social movement! However, this victory is also a wake-up call. ---- On
June 21, Gérald Darmanin, continuing the repression of the Sainte-Soline
demonstration against the mega-basins, proclaimed the dissolution of the
Earth Uprisings. After several months of legal battle, the Council of

dissolution could not be justified in the case of the Earth Uprisings,

The peculiarities of Jewish trade unionism that developed in Palestine
starting from 1910, as a forerunner of the non-existent State of Israel,
are therefore identifiable in a sort of pan-syndicalism with an
ethnic-confessional and identity basis, the result of the
self-organisation of the class of workers and peasants, based on the
principles of solidarity, on the antagonistic culture, on the political
capacity of the subordinate classes. This social formation constituted
the founding basis of a social structure, the founding nucleus of the
government infrastructure which gradually evolved, merging with the
liberal and bourgeois vision of society, dominated by exploitation and

The political and military reaction of the Israeli state following the
appalling attack of October 7 perpetrated by Hamas also sparked a wave
of mobilization in favor of the Palestinian people, deprived of the
right to live on Palestinian territory since over 70 years old. In
France, according to "jurisprudence" established under Hollande, the
expression of support for the Palestinian cause is criminalized and
demonstrations quite simply prohibited. ---- The attack of October 7
coordinated by Hamas caused fear, the massacre of more than a thousand
civilians revolts us and we deplore them. Let us say it very clearly,
Hamas is a nationalist and religious movement about which we have no

We watch with horror the ongoing massive bombardment of millions of

remind that their lives also matter. That we must not forget them. That
they too are (equally) valuable human beings who must be defended when
they are being killed. That genocide or ethnic cleansing are terrible
crimes that cannot be justified by anything, not even the terrorist
attacks of Hamas, just as they cannot be justified by the daily crimes
of Israeli apartheid.
