en it – Scandalous thoughts – a few notes on civil anarchism

325 receives and transmits:

Every so often, cyclically, collective or social anarchism becomes restrictive to some anarchists and an anarchist individualism reasserts itself. It happened at the turn of the twentieth century when some of the great anarchist thinkers began to question some of the more communistic dogmas. It is happening once more, and once more we witness some of the social anarchists writhe in panic as their comfortable dream is disturbed and they wittingly or unwittingly reinforce the stranglehold of the State by condemning their unruly sisters and brothers who appear to threaten the pursuit of what one comrade has aptly described as ‘civil anarchism’.

en fr – Bruges – Riots in the prison and attempt to escape in Tournai

BRUGES – In the afternoon, about 30 prisoners refused to return to their cells after the walk. They started to destroy windows and fences and lit a small fire.

Around 22h in the evening, calm was restored.

Every day the talking heads of the media roll out percentages, mortgage rates, numbers of unemployed, casualty figures of dead and wounded in the great massacre of daily life. Faithful guardians of the rich’s lockdown, they say our choice is sacrifice and sheeplike obedience or isolation and criminalisation as enemies of society. We are ‘the bad ones’, ‘the scum’, the enemy within….They focus attention on isolated acts that come from personal dramas or the ghettoes of boredom in order to justify the Police State that is streghening itself day by day. They promote a snitch culture, glorifying the scum who grass up their neighbours, even family members, to the police. We all know who our real enemies are: the rich, the police, the politicians, the lying journalists, all the oppressors of the people.

The Obscure Clarity of Words by Alfredo M. Bonanno

One who writes, perhaps even more than one who speaks, is called to clarify, to bring light. A problem is posed – the problem of something the one who writes should be concerned with since otherwise his respect would be deprived of meaning. This problem is illuminated by the use of words, by a specific use, capable of being organized within the shell of certain rules and in view of a perspective to be attained.
