best anarchist magazine paper site blog?

[blake 3:17]

recommended publications? AK still relevant? ANARCHY seemed kinda dull a few years ago -- Fifth Estate????

[Nachie]

Fifth Estate is even more irrelevant than AJODA. AK is as relevant as it ever was if you're into syndicalist stuff, it's just not fashionable anymore is all.

"Fire to the Prisons" is hot these days, and http://www.anarchistnews.org is the hub for newswire stuff online. http://theanvilreview.org/ for reviews of various things.

Very few new publications, though some pretty awesome anti-state communist ones coming out. Most of the stuff sold at http://littleblackcart.com/ is worth looking at if you haven't seen it before.

[meow]

i use http://zinelibrary.info/ to find new things. it has lots of good stuff. including fire to the prisons and pink and black attack. also see http://www.katesharpleylibrary.net/ for more good stuff. though not so recent perhaps.

[this is an invasion]

Fire to the Prisons and @news.

Also the comments on @news always bring the lulz

[ed miliband]

Not strictly anarchist, but their are anarchists involved: http://thecommune.wordpress.com/

Always something worth reading there.

[El Rojo]

crimethinc has a lot of good texts

[Boboulas]

http://www.freedompress.org.uk/news/

Altough its a little bit more specific to the UK.

[revolution inaction]

libcom.org (http://libcom.org/)

[MarxSchmarx]

Those of you recommending texts, I would really encourage you to explicate why you think the periodical rocks.

Z magazine has a libertarian bent, though it is more polemical than anything. They don't tow a strict line but they have reports from the world over.

And infoshop.org used to be pretty good, they have a decent syndication feed going. though I haven't been checking them lately.

I don't much care for anarchistnews or libcom, tho the latter is better than the former. i've run into too much slagging off on libcom in the past. thecommune is well written but it's really council communist. anarchistnews tends towards the post-left, lifestylist, etc forms of anarchism. for similar reasons I don't bother with "Anarchy". I got turned off to "Fifth Estate" years ago and haven't checked it out lately. Linchpin and Anarkismo and ideasandaction.info are moderated sites that are all okay, oriented towards mass/class struggle. i usually check ZNet everyday. it isn't a specifically left libertarian site in terms of content altho it's run by libertarian socialists.

[ContrarianLemming]

Libcom is fine, it focuses more on general worker struggle then anarchism alone. anarkismo is good to, and infoshop.

It's non-sectarian bud. Anything that is even remotely connected to the anarchist movement gets posted there.

Leave that cranky old leninist in black alone.

[The Idler]

When will ZNet publish free feeds?

name-calling as substitute for reasoned discussion. it's what i suspect from sectarian insurrecto looney tunes like you. you gonna propose that i be beaten up, as RAAN proposed for trots in a recent leaflet, hmm?

[Os Cangaceiros]

Even though I don't really consider myself to be an insurrecto, I have to concur about Fire To The Prisons. Reading it always makes me laugh, as does the aforementioned comment section on anarchistnews.

Other anarchist sites that I like:

Libcom (obvious one)
Anarkismo (Bolsheviks in black!)
prole.info (not specifically "anarchist", to the best of my knowledge, but still a good site with an ideological bent that I largely agree with)
The Libertarian Labyrinth (kind of a cool blog by a dude who translates a lot of really obscure anarchist and anarchist-influenced texts, mostly by Proudhon but also a lot of American anarchists, including both Egoists and syndicalists like Dyer Lum and anarcho-communists like Emma Goldman. I'm a history major so I like this kind of shit; your mileage may vary.)

If you're so against sectarianism, why are you always so sectarian?

:thumbup1:

You like to exagerate and misrepresent things, I figured this meant it was ok for me to do it to you.

What leaflet are you referring to? I don't think there has been a RAAN leaflet in a few years?

And I don't really care if some snarky old man in california gets beat up.

[syndicat]

If you're so against sectarianism, why are you always so sectarian?

translation: i disagree with you.

in this case I expressed my reasons for disliking anarchistnews. that is, that i disagree with post-left anarchism (which is itself rather sectarian) and lifestylism. this then led to someone calling me a "leninist". I would consider that a case of sectarianism.

sometimes an accusation of sectarianism can itself be a form of sectarianism. to tell whether it is or isn't we'd need some clear idea of what sectarianism is.

one criterion has to do with whether one is willing to work with diverse viewpoints in a mass struggle context. this i've done for decades. on the other hand, i sometimes run into local anarchists who will refuse to work in some community organization because of the presence of leninists or nonprofit staffs or liberals or whatever.

Actually the front page of @ news has stuff about prisoner support, an article from a british situationist, and one about Ryan Harvey, a syndicalist from Baltimore...

You don't like @ news because they acknowledge that insurrectionaries and post-left types are anarchists, a fact that you refuse to agree with, because you're some washed up tired-ass secterian nerd.

i don't really care if they call themselves "anarchists" or not. i don't claim ownership of that label. i just disagree with them and don't find those perspectives of useful at all. I don't think they have a plausible understanding of how a social transformation could come about.

you can dish out all the sectarian slurs you want. you apparently lack the mental capacity to come up with something intelligent. and, hey, i'll continue writing what i do.

Write away buddy, but people are going to point out when you're fabricating things.

I was mostly referring to the fact that you call insurrectionary anarchists "insurrecto loony toons" which is fairly sectarian. Actually it's hella sectarian. I don't really care, but you don't think it's wise to at least try to be consistent with your views? Like for real.

Also, I don't consider not wanting to work with leninists to be sectarian. I believe the left to be divided along views of the state, and that those who wish to recreate or take power of the state (as a centralized, hierarchical organ) are not in the same sect as those who wish to destroy it.
