From new books to trans alpaca ranchers and an increasing conflict in Belfast: Anarchists are making waves

This month we have a new interview with writer Shane Burley about his new book “Why We Fight: Essays on Fascism, Resistance, and Surviving the Apocalypse”, featured below. The Agency Newswire has some great new content this month too - from trans anarchist alpaca ranchers in Colorado, to an anarchist perspective on the increasing conflict in Belfast, and an analysis of the recent report produced by the FBI and DHS that equates right wing extremists with anarchists - anarchists are still making the news in a variety of wonderful and troublesome ways.

As always, feel free to reach out to us if you are interested in writing content for the Agency Newswire, are a journalist looking for an anarchist voice to highlight, or an anarchist project seeking media support. We look forward to hearing from you!

Shane Burley Talks About Antiracism, Antifascism, Antisemitism, and Reasons for Hope

Agency recently had the opportunity to preview Shane Burley’s excellent new book “Why We Fight: Essays on Fascism, Resistance, and Surviving The Apocalypse”, and interview him about the subject matter. Despite what one might imagine of a book about such weighty topics, “Why We Fight” is beautifully grounded in hope, and is a powerful reminder of how impactful antifascist and antiracist organizing is. At times it is a startling reminder of everything we’ve collectively been through these past few years, but it also holds up a mirror that reflects just how engaged we already are in building a new world in the crumbling wreckage of capitalism.

“The fact that we are building things, big things with lofty ideals and a huge reach, in the midst of such chaos and profound loss, makes me think that we actually had this plan all along. We probably did. That’s what we have been doing for the last several centuries, creating a lineage of ancestral wisdom so that we were able to care for each other and fight back when it was necessary. And fuck is it ever necessary.”

The Denver Post: How an anarchist commune for queer people grew a haven in conservative rural Colorado

“Two sets of headlights headed straight for the geodesic dome house that serves as the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch’s headquarters. Outside in the deep dark of Colorado’s Wet Mountain Valley, the people who live at the ranch prepared to defend their home. For weeks, they had received threats online and warnings from others in the area that the rhetoric against the leftist, anarchist alpaca ranch commune for queer people had intensified.”

Phoenix Media Coop: Current violence in Belfast is an example of the State dividing the working class

“More than a week of conflict has occurred on the streets of Belfast. Headlines have described it as ‘loyalist violence’. But anarchists in the north of Ireland told Phoenix Media Co-op that the violence isn’t really about the ‘loyalist’ and ‘republican’ narrative peddled by the British media.” Read more

Kelly Hayes and Sarah Jaffe: Work Isn’t Fulfilling Because Capitalism Is a Death March

“Capitalism is a death march, but it’s one we’re told we should find fulfilling. In this episode of “Movement Memos,” Kelly Hayes talks with author Sarah Jaffe about the manipulation, surveillance and criminalization of workers under capitalism, and what we can do about it.” Read more

Kristian Williams: Intelligence Report on “Extremism” Equates Anarchists With Right-Wing Militias

“Mainstream Democrats are in a hawkish mood when it comes to “domestic terrorism.” That is bad news for the left. Immediately upon taking office, President Biden “tasked the director of national intelligence, in coordination with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, with compiling a comprehensive threat assessment on violent domestic extremism,“ according to The Washington Post. This request was prompted by the right-wing attack on the Capitol on January 6.” Read more

Elias Rodriques: Abolition is a Collective Vision - An Interview with Miriame Kaba

“Long before becoming a published writer, Mariame Kaba had already left an imprint on contemporary prison abolitionist thought. Raised in New York by a father who was a former Guinean independence fighter and a mother who took part in what some might now call mutual aid, Kaba moved to Chicago to pursue an education and stayed to organize with sexual violence survivors, young people, and formerly incarcerated people. As the founder of Project NIA, which works to end young people’s incarceration, and as an organizer of the Chicago Torture Justice Memorials reparations campaign, Kaba helped make Chicago a hub for abolitionist organizing.” Read more
