The Best Anarchist Magazines

[The Black Hand]

i thought the good doctorwas on a perma ban

And that would be just stupid.

I have a copy of the RCG's "Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism!" in the house. They were selling it in town. And managed somehow to talk my sister (who has no interest in politics) into buying a copy.

I quite like Organise!, the AF one. They very nicely sent me a few back issues of it for free.

"Fight This Fight That" is of course a trotskyist publication not an anarchist one.

"Fight This Fight That" is of course a trotskyist publication not an anarchist one.

The RCG, which publishes Fight This! Fight That!, abandoned Trottery long ago. RCGers love, and will not criticise, the 'socialist countries'. They are especially devoted to Fidel, Raul and their Caribbean fiefdom.

speaking of magazines, any sign of a proper article, not book review, by you in capital and class?

WTF are U gibbering about now, i have done nothing I am unhappy with

I can't remember who said it but it went something like this;
'There is nothing wrong, just different roads to stardom'

 

[Zhelezniakov]

It is your lack of awareness of how unhappy others are that is of concern. But then, car crashes are perversely entertaining.

WTF I know perfectly well what is going on, some are just wankers though. You really will have to let me know what you are on about.

Here's a critique of one of the articles within:

Apparently written to discuss the BNP’s 2007 electoral performance, Mayday actually came out immediately after the 2008 May elections – where the BNP achieved some of the best results ever by British fascists! Rather than reflect on this, the author has instead continued to work on a theory recognisable not for its sophistication or accuracy, but the dogged persistence with which it is made.

Welcome back.

Here's a critique of one of the articles within:

Welcome back.

It is possible to argue with that so-called critique, it could start as follows;

I remember the magazine came out in time for Mayday 2008 (it certainly was on sale at the May '68 40th anniversary event), to my mind that's b4 the May 2008 elections. Not that that is important anyway. It is noticeable that rather than argue with the claims made in the Mayday article, a spurious issue (timing/persistence) was chosen to try and dismiss the pov. Anyway, the article was a contribution to ongoing debates surrounding anti fascism and therefore has a timeless character about it.

 

[The Black Hand]

BTW it was very noticeable that Mayday had the best and most timely poster/front cover, and therefore the best magazine when you include the lead article on the postal dispute at the anarchist bookfair

 

[barney_pig]

I think you are talking to yourself again trev

 

[The Black Hand]

Oh rly. it looks like you are being blinkered at best. People took lots of posters in the postal worker meeting and I sold Maydays there too... That's reality contra your impotent and bitter meandering.

 

[Rod Sleeves]

The poster is quite good actually.

 

[butchersapron]

Speaking of posties posters bristol IWW have done one you can either stick up in the window, on lamposts, or paste it on the letter box next week on the day the delivey workers are off. Link

Yes Butch, sorry to miss U at the bookfair. The IWW design, and I love workers and the IWW, is very workerist

 

[butchersapron]

Didn't go mate, swine flu struck.

AS the Penguin on Madagascar would say (cultural reference which a lot won't get I would say cos its a kids thing) 'cute and cuddly'.... 'The postie is your friend theme'.

CHeers Rod, the £5 is in the post

The evidence just keeps coming in, here's stuff from my email account.

I emailed some people yesterday saying that the black and white version i use for photocopying is on that Indymedia thread now, I got this reply from a guy I don't know who is on a labour movement network;

"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx brill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks. bazx"

This is suitably anonymous, I do not think there is any compromise of security here...

'Not bad', that's Butchers code for 'Very good'.
