Posstscript: the insurrectional perspective

19-07-2007 01:23

More than a year has passed since we finished the second issue of our journal Dissident, which introduced insurrectional anarchism in Sweden. We chose to introduce the insurrectional perspective because we think it brings us valuable insights and experiences.

Some critics, mostly syndicalists, unfortunately interpreted the insurrectional perspective in absolute terms. This text aims to answer those concerns and move the discussion forward.

Members of Birmingham's Iranian Refugee Association today held a commemorative picket at the Immigration and Asylum Tribunal (IAT) in Sheldon, Birmingham, to remember the death of their friend Babak Ahadi, who took his own life two years ago. Babak, born in Iran in 1972, set himself on fire on 5 July, 2005, after his asylum claim was dismissed by the IAT at Sheldon Court.
