As an anarchist, I am obviously opposed to all authority imposed from above, to any kind … Continue reading The world out of kilter: occupation and zombification
by Mike Driver “There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says ‘Morning, boys. How’s the water?’ And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other … Continue reading What is Propaganda?
by Paul Cudenec I have always felt an extreme dislike for globalisation. It flattens our cultures, annihilates our autonomies and steals our futures. It rips up the roots of our belonging and flings us into the greedy gaping jaws of its all-devouring worldwide Machine. Why then, some opponents of globalisation might ask, having also noticed … Continue reading Resisting global tyranny: nationalism, religion and the golden chain of tradition

He warns: "This is a left that has abandoned class struggle and instead embraces the master’s hyped-up divide-and-conquer culture wars. "Many of my left friends have become … Continue reading The people will prevail – with or without the left!

Browsing racks of clothes or crates of second-hand books, bumping into friends with smiles all … Continue reading Remembering who we are

Infinite Loops In Vedic philosophy the journey from birth to death and rebirth is called Samsara. Our mortal coil, devoured … Continue reading Escape from Samsara
by our regular guest columnist Walking With Goats Hello again, dear fellow humans. I do believe it’s spring. I’m lucky to be alive and well and happy for the most part – and more than anything I hope that you can say the same. We live poised in such strange times. I’m excited to report to you … Continue reading Walking With Goats: The Why That Goes In All Directions
by Paul Cudenec In this era of crushing intellectual conformism, it is always a pleasure to read about figures of the past who were not afraid to be themselves and to express a set of opinions which belonged to them and to nobody else. Such is the case with the Anglo-French writer and poet Hilaire … Continue reading Lament for an England lost
