Mutiny: A paper of anarchistic ideas and actions

Mutiny was started as a group interested in exploring different ways to oppose the war at home and abroad. It was formed by people who didn't see the war on Iraq as an aberration in a system that is otherwise good. Instead we see it as a part of global systems of capitalist exploitation that also affects the lives of people all over the world: systems that also affect our own lives.

While we think action is important we also want to explore different avenues of resistance. So now we are making a zine. We know that there are many radical ideas around, and we want people to write about their experiences and opinions.

We will have a new issue every month.

Wanna contribute?

So what do we need?

Articles - upto 1500 words

News In Briefs (or links to them) - up to 400 words

Reviews on actions, gigs, films, plays, exhibitions, books, cds, etc - upto 400 words.

We would also love contributions of images, photos, your zines, letters, anecdotes, haiku, sonnets, gob-stoppers - oo, gumballs - and you get the drift - anything. If it's tangible, we very well might consider publishing it!

You can email the Mutiny crew, [email protected]
Or snail-mail, c/- PO Box 4, Enmore, NSW, 2042, Australia

The deal with this thread

At the moment i don't have a .PDF versions of the April 2006 issue of Mutiny, it'll will be uploaded and posted in here (as well as all future issues) as soon as life allows.

So with that said, we'll be starting with issue #2! :P

Each issue is here in .PDF format, and is layed out as is necessary for printing & distribution. I.E. when you print-out the .PDF you should be able to put the pages together, fold em' and you'll have a zine in your hands! So please consider printing these and distributing them in your area to anyone you think might interested, but remember Mutiny is free :)


(note: the April edition should be up soon!)

This month Aliencat graces our cover with its critique of capitalist work ethic. We think the cat's words are apt for this issue. After all, another May Day has passed and we join with the cat in coughing up fur balls at the non-event it was in Australia. Yet we purr with delight at uprisings abroad.

Inside this issue we cover some of these May Day events, especially the immigrant strieks in the US. Aliencat raises a paw in solidarity with aliens 'legal' and 'illegal.' Aside from May Day we also look at the situation in the Soloman Islands, and the idea of what violent protest means in Australia. Additionally, 'World Gone Mad,' reflects upon the Cronulla riots and the anger generated after. And 'Strings Attached: Bono's Heaven' shows that Bono is a git. Aliencat is in full agreement.

This month we bring you news of the world. We take a critical look at Australia's actions in East Timor, report on state repression & reaction in San Salvador, Mexico, & outline planned protests against the G8 in St Petersburg. Much closer to home, Sista Autonomista raises the problem of sexism & sexual assault in activist circles. And seeing as half the people in the collective talk of nothing but the World Cup, we give a rough guide to soccer & politics. You'll also find stories of precarious superheros & suggestions for call centre subversion.

This month in Mutiny we commemorate the 70th anniversary of the star of the Spanish Civil War. We think it is important to reflect on the brief moment in history when anarchism was most broadly enacted, before being cruelly supressed. We reflect in the reviews section, covering some of the mass of popular culture inspired by this conflict. We don't feel inclined to print articles on history.

Rather we look again to Mexico and a current struggle for a better world and the violence of the state in trying to repress it. Speaking of state repression, there's also an article from Melbourne about the campaign against the 'anti-terror' laws. And finally, with all this repression and surveillance going on, we whisper in hushed tones about the possibility of confronting capitalism on all fronts including at the G20 Summit in Melbourne in September.

This month we take a ride down the Block and see what the current situation is with the Redfern Redevelopment. From one stolen land to another, we take to the streets, armed with an analysis of the Palestine/Lebanon/Israel conflict. Along the way, the government will send out the goon-squad and try to introduce (totalitarian) social control thhrough Identity Cards.

if you look at the &#39;letter&#39; it says

I am taking the time to handwrite this letter....
where as, infact, if you look closely, the letters are identical. that is, it is actually typed in a handwritten-style font, and printed on lined paper.
