Title:
Bad Attitude, The Processes World Anthology |
|
|
Description:
They said “Processed World magazine was founded in 1981 by a small group of dissidents, mostly in their twenties, who were then working in San Francisco's financial district. The magazine's creators found themselves using their only marketable skill after years of university education: “handling information.” In spite of being employed in offices as “temps,” few really thought of themselves as “office workers.” More common was the hopeful assertion that they were photographers, writers, artists, dancers, historians or philosophers. Beyond these creative ambitions, the choice to work “temp” was also a refusal to join the rush toward business/yuppie professionalism. Instead of 40-70 hour weeks at thankless corporate career climbing, they sought more free time to pursue their creative instincts. Nevertheless, day after day, they found themselves cramming into public transit en route to the ever-expanding Abusement Park of the financial district. Thus, from the start, the project's expressed purpose was twofold: to serve as a contact point and forum for malcontent office workers (and wage-workers in general) and to provide a creative outlet for people whose talents were blocked by what they were doing for money. The idea for a new magazine struck one of these people, Chris Carlsson, while he was on vacation in the summer of 1980. The sources of this brainstorm were simultaneously a certain socio-economic layer of late twentieth century U.S. society, a group of friends, and certain obscure artistic and political tendencies comprising both post-New Left, post-situationist libertarian radicalism and the dissident cultural movement whose most public expression was punk and new wave music.” It’s a big comp of the best from the zines they did. |

Description:
"Maarten Blok's extradition to Sweden " 135 pages, 18 cm. + DVD with videomaterial of actions. In recent years, tens of thousands of people take to the streets to demonstrate during international summits. Many people prepared themselves for the EU Summit, which was to take place from June 14 through 16 2001 in Gothenburg, Sweden as well. The Dutchman Maarten Blok was one of them. The EU Summit had not even begun when the police surrounded the school he was staying in and arrested all people present. After Maarten had spent two days in jail, he was flown to the Netherlands and released without charge. Several months later it turned out that Sweden was requesting Maarten's extradtion. This book is a report on the events that followed. It is about the court cases that maarten was involved in, demonstrations that were held, the trial in Sweden and Maarten's acquittal in Septemebr 2004. It is not only a factual account but a report on the difficulties that Maarten had to deal with; friends and family members also provide their point of view. Maarten's story is also an example of the dangers that the new European extradition treaty brings to life. It shows us that having blind trust in other countries'legal systems is a risky business. In the end, it all ended relatively well for Maarten. Others were less fortunate. But whoever struggles for what they believe in has a chance of exposing injustice and delivering a victory to the rule of law. |

Title:
George Brown, The Cobbler Anarchist of Philadelphia |
|
|
|
Description:
“A new pamphlet examining the life of George Brown (1858-1915), Philadelphia anarchist activist. Robert P. Helms traces the life of this anarchist shoemaker from freethinking Northamptonshire to Philadelphia’s burgeoning anarchist movement of the 1890s. Never famous, and only occasionally infamous, Brown was typical of many of the militants who made the movement what it was, and his story sheds a fascinating light on the microcosm of a social movement” |

Title:
Anarchism vs. Primitivism |
|
|
|
Description:
Originally published by See Sharpe Press who said; “This important pamphlet looks closely at the fundamental conflicts between anarchism and primitivism. It traces primitivism’s basic precepts back to their authoritarian roots, reveals primitivist misconceptions about anarchism, capitalism and technology, shows how the corporate media have used primitivism to discredit anarchism, and also shows how ideology-driven primitivists, much like fundamentalist christians opposed to evolution, have picked through anthropological evidence to support their predetermined conclusions, while ignoring data that contradict those conclusions. Sheppard also considers the many primitivist straw-man attacks upon anarchism, and asks: What kind of an anarchist movement do we want — one that looks often-ugly, authoritarian social reality in the eye, with the aim of transforming it into something that will lead to freer, happier lives for all of us on planet Earth, or one that wastes its time fantasizing about a nonexistent Golden Age, and that would result in the deaths of billions if its precepts were followed?” Now republished by Active. |
