The following zines and pamphlets were published across the broad anarchist space over the past month. There are a variety of different issues discussed and perspectives articulated, some of which come into conflict with each other. Itās our opinion that anarchy is strongest when different ideas clash rather than promoting a false unity or theoretical hegemony.

Spain: Letter from Antifascist Prisoner Rodrigo Lanza
Once again from the dungeons of the State, the belly of the beast. In first instance and FIES I write these words, isolated but not alone, because I know that our values āāare far stronger than these bars that I have in front of me, that our love for freedom is a thousand times more worthy than their hatred and that there is not a wall that can separate us from our own.
I believe in many things and two of these have always been that anti-fascist self-defence is the most legitimate struggle and that a State that promotes fascism, racism, homophobia and a long etcetera will ruthlessly attack those who defend themselves. After being insulted in a racist way, attacked from behind by a man holding a knife and following a tragic ending, the machine starts rolling, the State becomes strong and knows that a lie told a thousand times becomes truth, at least for the majority who need it.
The attacker becomes the attacked, they invent a ridiculous excuse for the aggression (the braces) that does not even appear in the police investigation, the knife disappears and they try to hide the fascist and racist links. They shoot with their best weapon: patriotism. The danger on television is me, and they will tell this lie a thousand times, because they can and because they need it. I feel terrible impotence knowing myself a pawn in their game, but I do not despair, I know from experience that the truth comes to the surface, even if history is written by the powerful, the winners ā¦for now.
I know that we will make more noise than them, that our bonds and solidarity are worth much more than their media and their walls. I continue to believe now more than ever in legitimate self-defence, in anti-fascism, in my brothers and sisters in the street, in our struggles, in my family, in my principles.
For all this and more, although I am here and after all that I am experiencing, I continue to feel lucky, because I know I can count on you, like you on me.
From the dungeons, isolated, but not alone.

The following zines were published over the past month or so within the broad anarchist space. As always, we encourage folks to read, discuss, and engage with the ideas within. Organizing study groups, talk about them with your friends, leave copies in random places, or write scathing critiques of the ideas contained within and circulate them widely. Anarchist ideas are sharper when accompanied by a robust dialog and debate.
Anarchist Zines Published in December 2017
Commune Against Civilization
This zine is a collection of texts that were published in a newsletter produced during a 12-day long illegal occupation on railroad tracks in Olympia, Washington. In the introduction there is an overview of the blockade and the general context in Olympia, while the four sections of the essay explore broader political themes. The zine is about far more than just the blockade, with the author(s) writing strong critiques of syndicalism, pro-civilization anarchists, and more. In response to these tendencies, the texts present an alternative of path of insurrectionary and anti-civilization anarchy. It also includes a lengthy list of suggested reading on these themes.

Anathema ā December 2017
Anathema is a monthly publication out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The December 2017 issue features action reports, some analysis of things that have been happening in Philadelphia including a look at flash mobs taking place in the city, world news, and more. Inspired by the anti-fracking blockade in Olympia, there is an exploration of rail infrastructure in Philadelphia, which is an interesting example of how actions elsewhere can help sharpen local analysis. There is also an essay on John Raines who passed away recently. Raines was involved in a break-in at an FBI office in the 1970s where many documents about FBI surveillance of radical movements was uncovered.

This Is Parkdale ā December 2017
This is a newsletter published by a group called Parkdale Organize that is based in Toronto, Canada. They are a neighborhood-based group that is attempting to building working-class power in response to gentrification in the neighborhood. Among the efforts they have been involved with has been a three month rent strike. While the context is different everywhere, itās interesting to see how this group is proposing that people respond to gentrification.

Below & Beyond Trump: Power and Counter-Power in 2017
This is a āstrategy and analysis documentā published by the Black Rose Anarchist Federation. It provides an analysis of the political context for social anarchists in 2017 and the prospects for āpro-organizational revolutionary anarchistsā to intervene in the current period. The documents focuses on (briefly) understanding ruling class power, social movements, and offers suggestions for a path forward. In response to their understanding of the contemporary period, they call for building social movements from below, offensive campaigns, and developing explicitly socialist practices and programs. It reads a lot like a political party platform with a lot of vague statements, sloganeering, and solutions.

The Things We Cannot Face
This is a zine formatted version of an essay that first appeared online back in October. It is an introductory piece to what will eventually be a series of explorations into the relationship between trauma, the self, and the general erasure of trauma from āorganizingā in radical circles. In particular, it looks at how questions related to trauma are often relegated to the āpersonal lifeā compartment and seen as separate from political activity, rather than being something that both informs that activity and something that can be healed by it. The text includes a lot of general observations about discourses around trauma which will hopefully be explored in subsequent essays.

Beyond the āMovementā ā Anarchy!
This short zine is a reprint by Warzone Distro of a text that appeared a few years ago criticizing the collectivist message of The Coming Insurrection, The Call, and Tiqqun. In this very vague engagement with those ideas, it mainly calls for a more individualized approach to revolt arguing that the starting point for any such project is the individual and the individualized decision to rebel. The text is skeptical of movements, social systems, identities, and ideologies, including those packaged and presented by both the Tiqqunists and the anarchists.

Setting Fire to the Church of Social Justice: 3 Critiques of Politics, Call-Out Culture, & Other Models of Statist Thinking
Published by Dandelion Distro, this zine collects three essays, āA Note on Call-Out Cultureā by Asam Ahmad, āQuestioning Rapeā by Anonymous, and āExcommunicate Me from the Church of Social Justiceā by Frances Lee. The bulk of the zine is āQuestioning Rapeā which is an essay reprinted from the zine The Broken Teapot. Itās an examination of the ways in which rape is engaged with in anarchist scenes and the limits to accountability processes as they are often used. Itās a challenging essay and is stronger with some of the responses in the afterward which is included in this version. The other two essays on call-out culture and purity in activist communities make some good points, but they are too short to really engage with the questions they raise.

Surviving A Grand Jury: Three Narratives from Grand Jury Resistors
This is a new zine by Crimethinc that collects the stories of three people who resisted a Grand Jury. Itās one of those zines that is essential reading for any one involved in radical communities as its helpful to learn as much as we can about how repression works in order to avoid having to scramble at the last minute when it happens. The zine does a particularly good job at presenting the human consequences of resisting a Grand Jury with the authors sharing many of the difficulties that they went through on an emotional and mental level when they chose to resist.

Narratives from three people who successfully stood up to grand jury indictments: one who served jail time for resisting, one who went on the run, and one who supported a grand jury resister.
(I am accused of being less than fair with my red comrades, of being dismissive, arrogant. While on occasion that may be true, I will say that beyond the theoretical squabbles, the back and forth of ideas, I maintain an underlying sense of empathy, of solidarity for its own sake with these individuals and tendencies. In addition, I realize that being an anarchist at twenty is easy, at thirty is difficult, and over fifty is outrageous. I resolved at the age of 27 to never look back, to follow the lifeway of an anarchist until there is no life left. I didnāt arrive at these two sentiments through rigorous analysisārather, they were given to me by a red anarchist couple, sixty years my senior, Sam and Esther Dolgoff. To whom this article is dedicated, and to whom I still owe a great deal--pzs)

The following zines and pamphlets were published in the November 2017. We are reposting them here in order to increase the circulation of anarchist publications. We definitely donāt agree with everything contained within, but we feel strongly that a vibrant anarchist space requires ā in part ā a robust dialog where ideas come into contact and conflict with each other.
In these three years I was faced with choices which led me by the hand through a path fraught with crossroads and bifurcations.
On November 5th our compaƱero Luis Fernando Sotelo Zambrano marked three years of being kidnapped by the state. In 2014, his case was fabricated. While activities were carried out in the context of the third global day of action for Ayotzinapa, as well as diverse solidarity actions for political prisoners in university city, our compaƱero was detained by the Mexico City police as part of the politics of criminalization of social protest of Miguel Angel Mancera.
RAM-NYC: Support Through the Walls is an abolitionist and anarchist organization that sends revolutionary literature (zines) to US prisoners. We recognize the prison industrial complex as one of the most draconian institutions in the United States and we want to offer our support as solidarity. We send catalogues to people in prison and invite them to send us a list of zines they would like. We are limited by how many zines we can send in one envelope, so we'll typically send two or three titles per request. We also encourage people to share these zines with fellow prisoners and start discussion and study group. We hope the literature will inspire offer solace in the days to come.
A list of texts you can have sent to US prisoners or download for yourself.Ā
