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 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 specific kind of anarchism we talk about and
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 March 15, protest actions took place at Green Way restaurants in Wroclaw, Warsaw,
Olsztyn and Lodz. At the Wroclaw restaurant, the local Food Not Bombs collective joined
ZSP and, with the slogan "Free Work, Free Food", the activists gave out free food at the
entrance to the blocked restaurant. The idea was that, since the restaurant does not want
to pay workers, why not go one step further - and not charge people for eating? ---- At
the Wroclaw action, former employees cheated by the restaurant took part and when the boss
came out to complain about the free food, demanded their salaries. ---- By all accounts,
the free food was much better than the frozen fast food crap at the vegetarian McDonalds.
The owner of the restaurant called the police but open arriving, they went into the
restaurant and then went away, refusing to do anything about the action.

How do we, as anarchists, differ from others in how we view organization? Or more
specifically, how does our view of individuality differ from the common misconception of
anarchism as the “absence of all accountability”. This essay will describe anarchist
accountability and how it differs from the types of accountability we’re trying to
replace. Implementing accountability in all of our practices is fundamental to our
effectiveness now in our practice and how it prefigures the kind of society that we want
to replace the existing society. ---- Anarchist Accountability ---- “This disease of
disorganization has invaded the organism of the anarchist movement like yellow fever and
has plagued it for decades…There can be no doubt, however, that this disorganization has
its roots in a number of defects of theory, notably in the distorted interpretation of the

Samedi 6 mars 2010, trois compagnons lyonnais, syndiqués à la CNT, dont
l'un d'entre eux également affilié à la Coordination des Groupes
Anarchistes, se sont fait lâchement agressés par une douzaine de nervis
d'extrême droite armés de ceintures à clous et autres nerfs de boeuf. Ils
ont du faire face à une pluie de coups, blessant sévèrement un de ces
compagnons. Il n'y a aucun doute sur le caractère politique de cette
opération commando, destinée à museler les militants de la justice sociale
et des libertés que sont les libertaires et les syndicalistes. La
Fédération Anarchiste adresse son soutien fraternel à ces trois

Pourquoi preserver la biodiversite devrait-il etre une preoccupation majeure des
etres humains? Une premiere reponse soulignerait simplement les imperatifs et les
soucis de notre existence collective, qui, comme celle de tout etre vivant, depend
des autres.
La mondialisation de la degradation de l'environnement et de l'extinction en masse
des especes exige un reexamen historique des pratiques sociales humaines. Apres
l'extermination de la megafaune par nos ancetres chasseurs-cueilleurs, la
socialisation de la nature se caracterise, avec l'apparition de l'agriculture et
d'une societe de classes, par la concurrence pour le surplus de production. Une

Chômeur-euses et Précaires souvent !
EnragéEs tout le temps !
L'autoréduction est une pratique qui consiste pour un groupe de personne à
imposer la baisse du prix d'un produit ou d'un service voire sa gratuité.
En 2008 plusieurs autoréductions ont été organisées à Grenoble, Rennes,
Paris,... Les cibles sont les supermarchés qui se font des marges

Comme vous savez, la situation en Chiapas est assez préoccupant. Les pouvoirs
gouvernementaux ne cessent pas dans le harcèlement aux compagnons zapatistes et aux
dernières dates ont augmenté les harcèlements par des groupes paramilitaires avec le
seul objectif de créer des situations de tension qui justifient une intervention de
l'armée. Depuis le Mexique nous arrive une demande de signer une lettre pour
répudier les menaces contre les bases d'appui zapatista. Dans cette liaison il est

Ghassan Ali is a 3rd-generation Palestinian refugee. His grandparents were driven from
their village in present-day Israel. He and his parents were born in refugee camps in the
Gaza Strip. As a child, he threw stones in the First Intifada (1987-1993). He recounts his
journey to Alternative Libertaire and explains his position as a libertarian communist in
the PFLP [1] and the path he sees for the Resistance. ---- What's the situation in Gaza
since the war in January? ---- Gaza is still at an impasse. On the one hand, the
humanitarian situation continues to degrade. The blockade imposed by Israel and the
international community has locked us in this ghetto, where the people are faced with
destruction, hunger and a sanitary catastrophe. Over 40,000 houses and buildings were
destroyed and their inhabitants, who have been living in tents and camps, have faced their
