REVOLUTION: an anarchist perspective: Revolution is a much used term but rarely is it discussed in a way that sheds any light on what the process actually involves. Revolutionaries themselves more often than not refer to it only in passing, or in terms of some historical myth dictated by whatever...

Portrait of a Black Terrorist
Language: English

The career of Stefano Delle Chiaie spans two continents and at least two decades. The history of Delle Chiaie is the history of nazism in our world today.

‘1968 and all that’, was, originally, a talk given at Glasgow’s Aye Write Festival in December 2008. It was an attempt on that 40th anniversary to put the events of that year into some sort of political and social context — at least from my personal perspective. In it, however, I posed the...

MUTUAL AID
A Factor of Evolution
Language: English
Release Date: March 7, 2015
Kropotkin’s Mutual Aid is usually, and rightly, called his masterpiece. While the high quality of all his work makes it hard to say whether this classic can be considered his best, it is fair to say that it is probably his most famous and one of his most widely read. Suffice to say, that it is rarely...
THE STATE

“…Kropotkin’s brilliant, erudite, provocative lecture needs no formal introduction from a latter-day translator. And one assumes that the reader is prepared to make the necessary time adjustment and allowances for ‘contemporary’ references that are no longer contemporary but still interesting...
