They were the Red Army Faction. Seven years later, almost all of the original combatants were in prison or dead, yet, through their example, they had inspired a militant and illegal support movement, comrades willing to take up arms in defense of the prisoners. 1977 was to be a year of reckoning. Through daring attacks and devastating errors, the West German guerilla brought their society to the brink, mounting one of the most desperate and incredible campaigns of asymmetrical warfare ever waged in postwar Europe. That they failed is no excuse to not learn their story, to see who they were and what they fought for – and, most tragically, to bear witness to the lengths the state would go to silence them, to make sure no one would ever again make such an attempt to free the prisoners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: André Moncourt\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: J.

The truth is that much of the armed resistance to fascism, before and during World War II, can be chalked up to women about whom official accounts have little or nothing to say. Through years of intrepid research and numerous interviews with the participants themselves, Ingrid Strobl excavates the history of the women who shouldered guns, planned assassinations, planted bombs, and were among the era's most active antifascist fighters. Strobl's commitment to and respect for her subjects has resulted in a work of both scholarly rigor and emotional depth. Weaving moving personal narratives into the broader history of the European resistance, Partisanas is both a detailed historical account and an investigation into what compelled women to reject their traditional roles to take up arms in a fight for a better world.

For, of course, women have been active in armed resistance, not only in Europe, but also in Algeria, Kuwait, Iraq, Palestine, Nicaragua, Argentina, Peru, and Mexico. The list goes on, but attention to the ways women's participation shapes broader movements and changes the lives of those women is still relatively uncommon. If this book highlights those questions again, and leads others to explore further the multiple dimensions of resistance and its multilayered impacts on participants, it will make a further, and continuing, contribution both to scholarship and to political struggle.\"—Martha Ackelsberg (author of \u003cem\u003eFree Women of Spain\u003c\/em\u003e), from the Foreword\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngrid Strobl is a filmmaker, lecturer, and writer living in Cologne, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AK Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40175015198813,"sku":"9781904859697","price":30.73,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/large_166_partisanas3_0.jpg?v=1654986797"},{"product_id":"remembering-spain-italian-anarchist-volunteers-in-the-spanish-civil-war","title":"Remembering Spain: Italian Anarchist Volunteers in the Spanish Civil War","description":"\u003cp\u003eA personal account from a militant who served on the Aragon front.

Focusing on the organized wings of the movement—the anarcho-communist and syndicalist groups—it offers a ringside seat to the legacy of the First International, the upheaval of the Russian Revolution and subsequent Bolshevik treachery, and the fight against fascism.

Women’s bodies and their medical knowledge were burned on those stakes to be replaced by a male “science” and a male gynecological profession controlled by the state and church. Has history run its course? Or, among the many reasons given today for hysterectomies, does its abuse still conceal, more or less covertly, a yearning for male domination over women’s bodies that reaches this most lethal form of conquest because it expropriates and destroys what makes a body a woman’s body?

T. Marinetti's \"Futurist Manifesto\" and the worldwide race toward a new and highly mechanized society that defined the \"Century of Progress,\" highly respected media activist Franco Berardi traces the genesis of future-oriented thought through the punk movement of the early '70s and into the media revolution of the '90s. Cyberculture, the last truly utopian vision of the future, has ended in a clash, and left behind an ever-growing system of virtual life and actual death, of virtual knowledge and actual war. Our future, Berardi argues, has come and gone; the concept has lost its usefulness. Now it's our responsibility to decide what comes next. Drawing on his own involvement with the Autonomia movement in Italy and his collaboration and friendship with leading thinkers of the European political left, including Félix Guattari and Antonio Negri, Berardi presents a highly nuanced analysis of the state of the contemporary working class, and charts a course out of the modern dystopian moment. Franco Berardi, better known in the United States as \"Bifo,\" is an Italian autonomist philosopher and media activist. One of the founders of the notorious Radio Alice, a pirate radio station that became the voice of the autonomous youth movement of Bologna in the late 1970s, Bifo is the author of multiple works of theory, including the recently published \u003cem\u003eThe Soul at Work\u003c\/em\u003e and \"The Post-Futurist Manifesto.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AK Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40175069102173,"sku":"9781849350594","price":23.73,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/large_810_afterfuture3_0.jpg?v=1654987184"},{"product_id":"without-a-net-the-female-experience-of-growing-up-working-class","title":"Without A Net: The Female Experience of Growing Up Working Class","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile many recent books have thoughtfully examined the plight of the working poor in America, none of the authors of these books is able to claim a working-class background, and there are associated methodological and ethical concerns raised when most of the explicatory writing on how poverty affects women and girls is done by educated, upper-class journalists.

In this collection of essays, commentaries and interviews, written between 2002 and 2010, Andrej Grubacic speaks about the politics of balkanization—about the trial of Slobodan Milosevic, the assassination of Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic, neoliberal structural adjustment, humanitarian intervention, supervised independence of Kosovo, occupation of Bosnia, and other episodes of Power which he situates in the long historical context of colonialism, conquest and intervention. But he also tells the story of the balkanization of politics, of the Balkans seen from below. A space of bogumils—those medieval heretics who fought against Crusades and churches—and a place of anti-Ottoman resistance; a home to hajduks and klefti, pirates and rebels; a refuge of feminists and socialists, of anti-fascists and partisans; of new social movements of occupied and recovered factories; a place of dreamers of all sorts struggling both against provincial \"peninsularity\" as well as against occupations, foreign interventions and that process which is now, in a strange inversion of history, often described by that fashionable term, \"balkanization.\" For Grubacic, political activist and radical sociologist, Yugoslavia was never just a country—it was an idea. Like the Balkans itself, it was a project of inter-ethnic co-existence, a trans-ethnic and pluricultural space of many diverse worlds. Political ideas of inter-ethnic cooperation and mutual aid as we had known them in Yugoslavia were destroyed by the beginning of the 1990s—disappeared in the combined madness of ethno-nationalist hysteria and humanitarian imperialism. This remarkable collection chronicles political experiences of the author who is himself a Yugoslav, a man without a country; but also, as an anarchist, a man without a state. This book is an important reading for those on the Left who are struggling to understand the intertwined legacy of inter-ethnic conflict and inter-ethnic solidarity in contemporary, post-Yugoslav history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat People Are Saying\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003e\"These thoughtful essays offer us a vivid picture of the Balkans experience from the inside, with its richness and complexity, tragedy and hope, and lessons from which we can all draw inspiration and insight.\" \u003c\/em\u003e” —Noam Chomsky, MIT “\u003cem\u003e\"The history of Yugoslavia is of global relevance, and there's no one better placed to reveal, share, and analyse it than \u003ca data-lwsa=\"eyJhdXRvbGluayI6dHJ1ZSwiYXV0b19pZCI6IjEzNzMyIn0=\" href=\"https:\/\/leftwingbooks.net\/collections\/all\/andrej-grubacic\" title=\"Andrej Grubacic\"\u003eAndrej Grubacic\u003c\/a\u003e.

Born in 1870, by the 1890s he was Germany's most prominent anarchist author and agitator. After several prison sentences and increasing tensions within the country's anarchist movement, Landauer focused on translations, literary criticism, and philosophical writing. In 1908 he returned to political activism by founding the \u003cem\u003eSocialist Bund \u003c\/em\u003eand reviving the journal \u003cem\u003eSozialist\u003c\/em\u003e.

That placement conveys more than a sense or understanding of the RAF’s praxis. It transmits a connection in a visceral way. Not since reading Ten Days that Shook the World have I been so drawn into a political narrative. Reading like a historical thriller notwithstanding, Projectiles lets us see a rare confluence of theory and practice of which anyone who aspires to make revolution should be aware. The RAF may no longer be with us, but it has prepared the ground for and can yet aid the current movement for the most equitable social reality in which all people will have the greatest possible freedom to develop their full human potential. Nowhere else has the RAF’s life, times, and legacy been so clearly laid out.” — Bill Dunne (political prisoner since 1979)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“This book about the Red Army Faction of American-occupied Germany is one that should be read by any serious student of anti-imperialist politics. “Volume 1: Projectiles for the People” provides a history of the RAF’s development through the words of its letters and communiqués. What makes the book especially important and relevant, however, is the careful research and documentation done by its editors. Their effort makes this work far more than a collection of communiqués. From this book you will learn the mistakes of a group that was both large and strong, but which (like our own home-grown attempts in this regard) was unable to successfully communicate with the working class of a “democratic” country on a level that met their needs. While the armed struggle can be the seed of something much larger, is also another means of reaching out and communicating with the people. Students interested in this historic era would do well to study this book and to internalize both the successes and failures of one of the largest organized armed anti-imperialists organizations operating in Western Europe since World War II.” —Ed Mead, former political prisoner, George Jackson Brigade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Starting in the Sixties, a new revolutionary strategy began to plague the capitalist metropolis—the urban guerilla. Warfare once waged by peasant armies in the countryside of a Cuba, a China, or a Guinea-Bisseau, was suddenly transfered to small cells of ex-students in the imperialist centers of Berlin, Rome and New York. No urban guerrillas became more famed or more demonized than West Germany’s Red Army Faction (RAF). We knew their signature bold actions in the headlines: from the damaging bombing of the u.s. army V Corps headquarters in Hamburg in 1972, in response to Washington’s mining of Hanoi’s harbor in an escalation of the Vietnam War, to the kidnapping and later execution of the head of the West German industrialists association, in an effort to negotiate for the release of revolutionary prisoners. But we never heard their political voices. Since the RAF’s political statements, debates and communiqués were untranslated and unavailable in English even within the left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Now, at last, a significant documentary history of the RAF has come into the spotlight, complete with a readable account of the postwar German New Left from which it emerged. Even better, this work was done by editors\/translators who reject the obedient capitalist media’s trivializing of the RAF as “pathological” death-wishing celebrities. In their hands, the words of the RAF are revealed as serious responses to the failure of parliamentary reformism, trade-unionism and pacifism, to stop the solidification of Germany’s own form of a neofascist capitalism (lightly cosmeticized with a layer of that numbing “consumer democracy”). The young RAF fighters hoped for liberation in their dangerous experiment but were willing to accept tragic consequences, and their story is emotionally difficult to read with eyes open. Controversial as the RAF was, their systematic torture in special “anti-terrorist” facilities stirred worldwide unease and even protest. In fact, those special prisons were the eagerly studied forerunners for the u.s. empire’s own latest human rights abuses, from Guantanamo to the domestic “maxi-maxi” prisons. We all and the RAF are much closer than the capitalist public wants to believe. It is all here, in this first volume of the Red Army Faction documentary histories, and we should thank all those who worked on this book.” —J.

It offers a remarkable wealth of source material in the form of statements and letters from the combatants, yet the authors manage to present it in a way that is both coherent and engaging. Evidence of brutal—and ultimately ineffective—attempts by the state to silence the voices of political prisoners serve as a timely and powerful reminder of the continued need for anti-imperialist prisoners as leaders in our movements today. At once informative and inspirational, this is a much-needed contribution to the analysis of armed struggle and the cycles of repression and resistance in Europe and around the world.” — Sara Falconer, Toronto Anarchist Black Cross Federation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Armed struggle was one of the most controversial yet widespread phenomena of the worldwide revolutionary upsurge in the 1960s and 1970s—and the Red Army Faction was a centerpiece of this strategy in the imperial West. This valuable documentary history gathers RAF primary documents with an impressive set of contextual essays, providing the raw material necessary to understand the strategies and consequences of attacking from within the belly of the beast.” —Dan Berger, author of \u003cem\u003eOutlaws of America: The Weather Underground and the Politics of Solidarity\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Of all the revolutionary organizations to have been forged by the so-called sixties generation, the German Red Army Faction has been perhaps the most mythologized and maligned.

Then we all became Autonome.\" Black blocs, squats, riots and urban guerillas—but also base groups in the factories, \"free spaces\", antinuclear occupations, and alternative lifestylism—all of these formed the context, the terrain, and the world of Germany's Autonomous movement during its high point in the 1980s. Today best knownfor the militant street fighting tactics they exemplified, the Autonomen opposed the capitalist State while purposefully not putting forward any kind of blueprint for what would replace it, an ethos summed up in the slogan, \"No power to no one!\" The challenges faced by the Autonomen—repression from the police, integration from the reformist left—and the way in which they were met, provide a look forward to what may face our own movements in the time to come. As the current capitalist crisis leads to new surges in protest, with radical elements try to break out of the reformist structures and defeatist traditions meant to hold us back, Germany in the 1980s doesn't seem so far away. Fire and Flames was the first comprehensive study of the German autonomous movement ever published.

In the 1970’s when hundreds of politically minded people folded back into the comforts of American society, Silvia deepened her conviction to revolutionary struggle.She became the national leader of the May 19th Communist Organization, a radical group of white, North Americans.May 19th was a key element in a fragile but growing alliance of revolutionaries, African American, Puerto Rican and white who worked relentlessly to organize people to view the U.S. Imperialist system as the leading source of world oppression.Most threatening to the government was their support for the Republic of New Afrika, a group fighting to win land in the south on which to build a socialist nation under Black rule. Members of the alliance were targets of the U.S. government’s counter insurgency program, COINTELPRO. Using an array of tactics, the government put an end to the alliance; many activists were arrested and imprisoned; Silvia was one of them.

This was in response to the emergence of a new radical youth movement in the Federal Republic, the Autonomen, and an attempt to renew its ties to the radical left. The possibilities and perils of an armed underground organization relating to the broader movement are examined, and the RAF’s approach is contrasted to the more fluid and flexible practice of the Revolutionary Cells. At the same time, the history of the 2nd of June Movement (2JM), an eclectic guerilla group with its roots in West Berlin, is also evaluated, especially in light of the split that led to some 2JM members officially disbanding the organization and rallying to the RAF. Finally, the RAF’s relationship to the East German Stasi is examined, as is the abortive attempt by West Germany’s liberal intelligentsia to defuse the armed struggle during Gerhard Baum’s tenure as Minister of the Interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDancing with Imperialism\u003c\/em\u003e will be required reading for students of the First World guerilla, those with interest in the history of European protest movements, and all who wish to understand the challenges of revolutionary struggle.

This is the chronicle of the anarcho-syndicalists of Spain, who—with and without the help of their own organizations—fought and built a new world alongside everyday labourers in the chaos of revolution and Franco’s fascist coup. Participants in rural and industrial collectives totaled over 1,800,000—within an overall population of 6,000,000 in Republican Spain. Their experience as the backbone of revolution resonates still in today’s global anticapitalist movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSixteen appendices reinforce Mintz’s analysis and insight, offering case studies of collectivization in particular regions and towns, economic experiments, and the role Marxist totalitarianism and Francoist fascism played leading up to and after the revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrank Mintz’s book was originally published in 1970 in France and, along with titles like Noam Chomsky’s Objectivity and Liberal Scholarship, began to chip away at what Chris Ealham describes as the “conspiracy of silence” built up around the anarchists’ achievements during the revolution. Historical narratives of the twentieth century—whether fascist, communist, or liberal—systematically excluded the Spanish anarchists. Today we can add Anarchism and Workers’ Self-Management in Revolutionary Spain to the English-language canon—that includes works by Abel Paz, \u003ca data-lwsa=\"eyJhdXRvbGluayI6dHJ1ZSwiYXV0b19pZCI6IjMyMTEzIn0=\" href=\"https:\/\/leftwingbooks.net\/collections\/all\/stuart-christie\" title=\"Stuart Christie\"\u003eStuart Christie\u003c\/a\u003e, Agustín Guillamón, Martha Ackelsberg, Chris Ealham, and José Peirats—that break the silence forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrank Mintz is a retired professor of Spanish who lives in Paris, France and is active with the CNT labor union.
