He is considered to be a spokesman for the young radicals living during World War I. His articles appeared in journals including The Seven Arts and The New Republic. Bourne is best known for his essays, especially his unfinished work "The State," discovered after he died. From this essay, which was published posthumously and included in Untimely Papers, comes the phrase "war is the health of the state" that laments the success of governments in arrogating authority and resources during conflicts.

But neither courts nor laws will halt the descent into autocracy. Massive numbers of people will have to take it upon themselves to organize concrete acts of resistance, to take direct action on a horizontal and participatory basis—in other words, to become anarchists.

Peter Gelderloos argues that international governmental responses to the climate emergency are structurally incapable of solving the crisis. But there is hope. Across the world, grassroots networks of local communities are working to realize their visions of an alternative revolutionary response to planetary destruction, often pitted against the new megaprojects promoted by greenwashed alternative energy infrastructures and the neocolonialist, technocratic policies that are the forerunners of the Green New Deal. Gelderloos interviews food sovereignty activists in Venezuela, Indigenous communities reforesting their lands in Brazil and anarchists fighting biofuel plantations in Indonesia, looking at the battles that have cancelled airports, stopped pipelines, and helped the most marginalized to fight borders and environmental racism, to transform their cities, to win a dignified survival.

For questions, comments or to get involved, e-mail us at audibleanarchist(at)gmail.com You can read the Appeal at https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-an-appeal-to-the-young  Addressed to young men and women preparing to enter the professions, An Appeal to the Young was first published in 1880 in Kropotkin's paper, La Revolte, and was soon thereafter issued as a pamphlet. An American edition was brought out by Charles H. Kerr in 1899, in the wake of the great Anarchist's first U.S. speaking tour; his Memoirs of a Revolutionist was also published (by Houghton-Mifflin) that year. A new edition in Kerr's “Pocket Library of Socialism” appeared in 1901; just after Kropotkin's second U.S. tour. (In Chicago, he had been introduced to a large audience by Clarence Darrow, a close associate of the Kerr Company.) Yet another Kerr edition in the 1910s went through many printings, and was still on the Kerr list well into the 1930s. Long unavailable in any U.S. edition, it is reprinted here in the standard English translation by pioneer British socialist H.M. Hyndman, whose lush Victorian prose ably captures the eloquence, fervour and charm of this celebrated revolutionary classic.     Revolutionary Classics     Charles H. Kerr Publishing Company     Established 1886

The resulting catastrophe laid waste to the entire region. At a time when misinformation, rising authoritarianism, and disasters exacerbated by industrially-produced climate change are creating a feedback loop of escalating crisis, it's crucial to understand disaster response as an integral part of community defense and strategize about how this can play a part in movements for liberation. In the following reflection, a local anarchist involved in longstanding disaster response efforts in Appalachia recounts the lessons that they have learned over the past six weeks and offers advice about how to prepare for the disasters to come.

Negri desafia interpretações tradicionais, destacando a revolução filosófica de Espinosa, que rompe com as visões panteísta e mística. Negri evidencia a mudança de Espinosa para uma ontologia materialista, fundamentando a liberdade e a ação humana e estabelecendo um paradigma ético-político inovador, contrastando com as ideologias teológico-metafísicas e dialéticas do século XVII."

Was ist Anarchismus? Anarchismus ist eine breitgefächerte - aber sich ergänzende - Sammlung an politischen Ideologien. Das Ziel is die Erschaffung einer staatenlosen Gesellschaft, in der alle Individuen frei von willkürlicher Autorität, Hierachie und Unterdrückung sind. Da unsere aktuelle Gesellschaftsordnung auf Hierachie basiert - der eingetrichterte Glaube, dass einige Menschen mehr Macht als andere haben sollten - denken wir, dass dieses unterdrückende Machtsystem beendet werden muss.
