Anarchy: The Life and Joy of Insubordination
Elements of a Barricade
Post-Left Anarchy
“There remain large numbers of anarchists who continue to identify closely with the political left in one form or another. But there are increasing numbers ready to abandon much of the dead weight associated with the left tradition.”
Warrior Crowd Control & Riot Manual
“Crowd control refers to the organized use of force to stop,.limit and/or disperse large, hostile groups. As a warrior, it may be necessary to carry out crowd control against mobs of settlers, vigilantes, drunk hooligans, etc.
Riots occur when large, hostile groups gather & carry out property destruction & looting, frequently fighting with police who are deployed to carry out crowd control. As a member of the resistance, it may be necessary for you to engage in riots.
This manual is divided into 2 main sections: Crowd Control & Riot Training. Although similar, some important differences exist between the two. While crowd controls teaches you how to control an unorganized crowd, riot training focuses on countering. police crowd control tactics & techniques. By knowing the methods of both, you will be better prepared to carry one out, & to counter the other. Crowd Control & Riots can occur in urban, suburban or rural settings.”
Don’t Film, Act: A Call For Confrontation
“Maybe there was a time when it was reasonable to believe that capturing the brutality of police on film would mean an end to that brutality would be brought by some righteous conscience of the society bearing witness, but that time(if it ever did exist) is certainly long gone now. Year after year, brutal video after brutal video, we find ourselves inhabiting the same world of the police, their cruelty, and their brutality.
Your footage will not save anyone, you are not exposing some unknown side of the American cop. We know what the police are and what they do. It’s what they’ve always done.”
Anti-Left Anarchy: Hunting Leftism with Intent to Kill
“We have long grown tired of this dialogue and sought to allocate new anarchic color combinations to the political rubbish that engulfs our lives. The deceptive verbiage of the Left has placed a strangle-knot on our imaginative field for far too long, freezing our energy and obscuring the essence of the struggle for Anarchy, its basic and intrinsic qualities, with artificial and pretentious ideologies that stifle the action of thought and dream in tedious, one-dimensional holding patterns”
Pepperspray, CS, & Other “Less-Lethal” Weapons
A zine with information about pepperspray and the other weapons used by police which get labeled “less-lethal”.
Not Liking Someone Doesn’t Mean They’re a Cop: on Badjacketing
“what is bad-jacketing?
“Bad-jacketing” (or “cop-jacketing,” “fed-jacketing,” or “snitch-jacketing”) is the practice of accusing people of being a cop, informant, fascist, or other kind of bad actor on specious or non-existent evidence.
The term has been used since at least the 1960s, where it primarily described COINTELPRO operations that bad-jacketed legitimate members of the Black Panther Party and other organisations. It was, ironically, rumours from infiltrators consolidating their own positions that led to organisations not only isolating but, in some cases, severely beating or executing innocent individuals.”
Defend Pride Direct Action Handbook
“Queer people are under attack. Homophobia and transphobia never really went away completely, but we are living through a historic resurgence. Across the United States, Republican politicians have been working to pass hundreds of bills attacking LGBTQ+ people. Meanwhile in the streets, violence against us is steadily increasing, and Proud Boys, neo-Nazis, and other hate groups attack, harass, and distrupt LGBTQ+ events. Times are tough, but we’ve been here before. And we know what it takes to survive.”
