In 1903 Lizzie Magie patented the 'Landlords Game'-originally intended as an anti-capitalist critique of monopolistic corporate greed. "It is a practical demonstration of the present system of land-grabbing with all its usual outcomes and consequences," Magie wrote in a political magazine. "It might well have been called the 'Game of Life', as it contains all the elements of success and failure in the real world, and the object is the same as the human race in general seem[s] to have, ie, the accumulation of wealth." ---- The game was popular among left-wing progressives and at university campuses, until some thirty years later when Charles Darrow and his wife played it a dinner party. At the time the game wasn't often bought in a box; rather, it was copied and shared between friends, known as 'the monopoly game'. Darrow was taken with the game and asked his host ...

By persecuting the Muslim minority in the most absurd way possible, French politicians stir up racism and deepen the fractures in society. In short, they do exactly the game of the Islamic State, which recruits amid hatred and resentment. ---- A scandal caused by the FN around a "day burkini" in a private water park near Marseille; a beach brawl attributed (falsely) to Burkini history; several municipalities following the lead of the municipality of Cannes, which, on 28 July 2016, has banned access to beaches "any person not properly dressed, respectful of morality and secularism" ; Police who ridicule forcing a woman to undress on the beach in the name of "public order" ... ---- Was sad at first overshadowed by the Nice attack , then tarnished by the pathetic controversy which broke out around the "burkini ', a bathing suit covering the body of Muslim women who so ...

We're at a protest in Dublin called by Rojava Calling to show solidarity with the progressive forces in Rojava against Turkish state & ISIS. ---- Recently Turkish tanks crossed the Syrian border to supposedly attack ISIS. For the last couple of years Turkish troops and ISIS militants have been exchanging hand waves across the border as month by month hundreds of ISIS recruits have been allowed to cross it. ---- What changed? Over the last weeks the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) fought street to street though the town of Manbij, just south of Jarablus. Eventually they forced ISIS out and started to advance towards Jarablus, these advances in effect closing the ISIS supply route across the border. Turkey really didn’t want the SDF which includes the Kurdish YPG and YPJ to capture Jarablus, hence this last minute invasion. ...

The Dublin Anarchist Black Cross was in attendance of this year's anti-internment march in Belfast on the 7th August. Prior to the march taking place the state put a block on the march from going ahead refusing to give the march organisers permission to march. This block did not deter people from coming out in support of the march and come out in solidarity with political prisoners in prisons in Ireland. ---- Over 1,000 people marched from the Busy Bee in Andersonstown in west Belfast, down the Falls Road towards Belfast City Hall. When the march reached the end of the Falls Road the Police had the road blocked with a line/siege of armored Jeeps and armed police preventing the march from reaching its destination. ---- The march could not go any further, a makeshift platform made from a wooden box was used by speakers to say a few words about the different ...

When anarchism was born, it was born as a borderless struggle and as a struggle for a free world. From its inception as a political theory its proponents moved across territories to engage in the struggle, connected with comrades, and fought alongside those who struggled for liberation as virulently as they did. ---- In New York we struggle on the backs of giants, yet still for a hundred years, against a massive state that never stopped its colonial, imperial incursions. Rojava has pried open the hegemonic monster of the state and illuminated the possibility of liberation in the struggle of anarchists worldwide; not just anarchists but all those who feel the inescapable draw of a free life. ---- We are here to say goodbye to Jordan MacTaggart (also known as Ciwan Firat). He was an american anarchist and YPG fighter who gave his life for the liberation of Manbij: a key point in ...

When did you first become active or interested in politics? ---- Politics is something that it’s hard not to have, especially living in Derry. Politics would always come up in conversation no matter where I went or what I was doing. I always voiced my opinions and had most people agree with what I had to say. When it came to doing something about it like becoming involved and actually joining an organisation that was different. ---- Have you been involved in other political groups? ---- I could never find where I’d confidently be able to plant my feet and get directly involved. I had taken part in local campaigns or actions on the edges to highlight certain issues around the town for a few years such as Palestine, Anti-Fascist work, Anti-War and never missed a march if I could help it, along with anything else that was going on at that time. ...
