Our motivation ---- Human beings need to search hard, like a needle in a haystack, until
they find resistance books, brave movies and libertarian places. However, these things are
necessary to show us accessible and horizontal perspectives. This opens up possibilities
for organization and also allows us to meet on an equal basis. Working toward a world free
from oppression requires these moments of intense and friendly exchange. For this reason,
we invite you to the meeting that will take place from August 30th to September 1st in
Delémont, to enjoy time together as we discover the extraordinary variety of current
libertarian publications. ---- During the fair ---- We invite collectives and publishers
to exhibit and sell their books. The weekend will be accompanied by readings, lectures and
discussions. Of course there are also shows and movie screenings. There will be food and
drinks available to feed this beautiful world. There will also be a place dedicated to
children, organized by volunteers.
The organization
This first edition of the Anarchist Book Fair in Delémont will be held in different
locations. The book fair itself, with its stalls and tastings, will take place in the
industrial heart of Delémont at the Espace autogéré La Cantine, a center of autonomous
culture and crafts. On Saturday morning we will be present at the market in Delémont.
Participants and helpers will be accommodated in local collectives in the region.
Any help is welcome, just contact: salondulivre@riseup.net
See you!

# G7Biarritz: in the last hours news about the organization of the counter-summit is
coming. For example, the companions of Rouen dans la Rue inform through their special
envoy that the police make continuous rounds inside the camping area, data that has added
to the feeling shared by several groups that the weight is being put of the burden on the
future of mobilizations in the self-censorship of those who participate in "family" and
"peaceful" demonstrations to protest the militarization in the practice of an entire
territory by transnational capitalism for their businesses ( remember that all of them can
be visualized the restrictions that will take place on a thematic map). For your interest
we translate and reproduce the communiqués that come to us from various groups.
Via Sare Antifaxist:
G7 Biarritz: Unitary Revolutionary Communiqué
From August 24 to 26, the G7 summit will take place in Biarritz. Seven of the major
capitalist and imperialist powers will unite to defend the interests of the bourgeois
class. They will be accompanied by a long procession of lobbyists and companies, as
courtiers in the king's court. During the G7, the region will become an ultra militarized
zone, bunkerized by repressive forces, which will hinder the freedom to come and go.
In response to this capitalist and security disturbance, a counter-summit is being
organized in the Basque Country (August 19-26) with a multitude of leftist organizations .
As activists and libertarians, the issues discussed, the form of organization, the
fighting elections do not correspond to our strategy. Our response must be revolutionary,
fundamentally anti-capitalist, internationalist and self-managed. We do not believe that
the form chosen for the counter-mobilization will mobilize the dominated classes or
trigger a broad protest movement. Many international summits, many counter-summits, but
few results ...
It is time for the revolutionary forces to question the answers that will be given during
such events to put an end to it. These counter-summit meetings are often the place of
encounter and exchange between exclusively militant people. We believe that this is not
enough, these meetings bring together people who are already aware of these issues and
during that time we, the activists, are disconnected from the struggles.
This intersection isolates us from the population. We do not officially endorse or support
the organization of the G7 counter-summit. However, we are not there to undermine the work
of the comrades who organize this anti-summit and even if it does not apply to us, we
would like to express our solidarity with them and them. Let's meet in the fights! It is
the freedom of activists to determine their tactics. We do not call to cross arms or
remain in criticism. Let us be numerous in the struggles for the interests of our workers.
Direct action privileges. Let us be numerous to participate in the actions of blockade,
civil disobedience and protests that will take place during the G7.

I'm sure many of you are familiar with the feeling: as soon as you say about your radical
political views, stereotyped objections will come down like a bucket: "you can't do
without police!", "Power in human nature", "anarchy is chaos", "the most intelligent
become rich " etc. You can make a real top of such nonsense. ---- Many comrades slip in
this place and generally stop discussing with "dark" people, reducing their circle of
contacts to activists: those who do not need to answer a hundred times the question why
you don't eat meat and why you go to rallies. And then they fall into the trap. After all,
then exactly what the authorities want to happen to them is isolation and alienation from
the masses.
The video crystallizes my personal experience of communicating and discussing with the
so-called "philistines" - people who are not involved in political and social activism and
know little about political life in the country. And also a little of the general rules of
controversy. I examined the main mistakes that activists make in such disputes and gave
recipes on how to avoid them. So if you are afraid to talk about your views with strangers
so as not to fall under a barrage of condemnation and stupid questions, then this video is
for you. Let now the stories about your views bring you only joy and pleasure!
And do not forget to subscribe to the Radix channel by clicking on the subscribe button
and a bell nearby - then definitely do not miss new useful videos.

At certain times, which are usually the forerunners of the great historical events, of the
great triumphs of humanity, everything seems to be advancing at a rapid pace, everything
breathes strength: the intelligences, the hearts, the wills, everything goes in unison,
everything seems to be gaining new horizons. Therefore it is affirmed in the whole of
society as an electric current that unites the most distant individuals in the same
feeling and the most disparate intelligences in the same thought that gives everyone the
same will.[...]But there are other dark, desperate, fatal times, in which everything
breathes decay, prostration and death and which manifest a true eclipse of public and
private conscience. It is the ebb and flow that always follows the great historical
disasters (M. Bakunin).
And then there is us, this period of banal indifference, seasoned with repression and
economic recession and that more than following proceeds in big steps towards radical
social but also ecological and environmental worsening that we already see on the horizon.
Who knows the 5 stars right now if they think back to when they could incriminate Salvini
for kidnapping and they didn't do it in the name of governability (and maybe even
something else)!
That he has fled to avoid paying the bill, or that he has hoped to capitalize on a
consensus that is too volatile to last, perhaps he does not change too much: we will soon
know what will happen. Whether we go to a technical or legislative government, to a
reshuffle, or to early elections but not too much, it is certain that the only element of
invariance will be that of defending the interests of the various sectors of the national
bourgeoisie, perhaps more or less hidden behind the mask of populism.
Salvini looks like one of those joker characters and a little dandy who after having
feasted very well in an excellent restaurant, and having sipped a couple of good bottles
of wine, found the excuse petr dileguarsi, trying not to pay the bill. Yes, because the
bill is coming, but not for him and the class that really defends: the increase in VAT,
which, as we know, is an odious measure that affects workers, pensioners and the
unemployed, cutting costs for health and education, and a probable restriction on pensions
paid out, are all measures that will hit the less well-off.
If we then add the government's desire to cut taxes on the rich, as promised, the disaster
is over. Salvini simply knows that with this very expensive bill even the lies of the
reactionary yellow-green government would have had the hours counted, and he chose the
bluff, in case the almost desperate revival he is putting into effect succeeded if he
pretended to count on a center-right who , in an unlikely case of estate, would have
allowed him to complete the design of institutional changes in an authoritarian key
towards which he proceeded at a great pace.
Others, of the opposite sign, will most likely take charge of making us pay the bill:
realists, in the name of good governance, and always willing to support the social
policies of the financial oligarchy, will not hesitate to further hit the workers on wages
and rights. And we have no doubt that even these will not even come to mind to remedy the
negative policies of previous governments and the liberticidal, racist and security laws
on which this government has based its fortunes, and which today pretend to tear up the
clothes.
The political and social framework is grim, too gray to see a near credible horizon of
social and political redemption through struggles and participation, but this does not
mean that we anarchist communists abdicate the role we have given ourselves, the
revolutionary one.
We are convinced and we are aware of what is at stake, we will never stop denouncing and
fighting for a libertarian and open society, with all our strength we will place ourselves
sideways in every process of authoritarian restructuring.
But we cannot help but recognize in the puppets that in the parliament the face of those
who pull the threads to make them dance and to charm "people and plebs" as in an old
nineteenth-century novel.
Our struggle is against capitalism, against real power, which determines economic policy
lines and defines its field of influence in inter-capitalist struggles, what is called
imperialism.
We are not willing to take sides for any part in the service of capital, and this does not
mean that we run away from our political responsibilities, if there are elections it will
be yet another proof of a rigged game in which the winner is already known.
We will have to ask ourselves and ask ourselves why not only in Italy, but everywhere we
turn our attention, we discover the same dynamics of power with the same results.
It is therefore important for us to understand and analyze the phenomena, at the same time
it is even more important to coordinate the activity of the political organization, which
in these historical situations assumes an even greater importance, to avoid unwanted and
harmful dispersion and fragmentation, and to find patiently, a common political line also
on the political contingency offered by changing situations.
This society is engulfing itself, it is indispensable for us to return to discussing power
relations, the social consequences that the new forms of capital accumulation have and how
the urban and social fabric of the planet is modified through these. It is essential to
strengthen class unity and revive the struggles and mobilizations to counter the design of
capital that wants to make its contradictions pay, as always, to the lower classes. We
give and we will always give our political and militant contribution to these struggles,
to these mobilizations.

On Friday afternoon, August 16, the streets of Zamora hosted the cultural activity "A
Libertarian Walk. Walking path through the emblematic places of the Zamorano historical
libertarian movement ". ---- It was a leisurely stroll, recalling the urban places where
anarchism and the labor movement left their mark on Zamora's history and people. They
visited their streets, headquarters and buildings, recalling strikes, writings, crafts, or
their literary creations, as well as their names and the proposals they developed to try
to improve society. A fun route between stories and experiences, guided by experts in this
research. ---- The call was attended by a good group of interested people, eager to know
the zamoran history, recalling outstanding historical figures such as: Visitación and
Baltasar Lobo, Agustín García Calvo, José Durán, Jacinto Torhyo, Palmira San Juán, Antonio
Vara Calvo, the Lobato Quevedo brothers , José López Martín or José Justo Bruna.
In addition to the libertarian movements in the city, the strength of its people in the
rural world was briefly reviewed, for example: among the workers of the construction of
the railway in the Sanabre tunnels of the 1930s, in the Salto del Esla work or in the
workers of the Martín viaduct. Gil; as well as the union force in some localities such as
Villalpando, Losacio de Alba, Requejo, Lubián, Vigo de Sanabria or in the games of the
anti-Franco maquis.
The act ended near the monolith of Olivares Park, where he was honored those reprisals
for Francoism, playing some musical pieces by the singer Buterflai.
The initiative came from the organization of the XII Meeting of the Salamanca Book,
interested in spreading in this edition the Zamorana libertarian tradition, through a fun
informative activity.
