(en) Australia, anarchistaffinity: Living in a Monopoly by Jacqui
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

nom-de-guerre Ciwan Firat, from Colorado USA, was killed during a mission to save
civilians on 3 August 2016, said a statement from the YPG. ---- "Our comrade was a modest
and genial person, who was always at the frontline of the fight against terrorists. Martyr
Jordan raised the flag of freedom and fraternity of peoples. His struggle and resistance
has enriched the Rojava revolution and carved his name into the history of our peoples."
---- The YPG sent their condolences to MacTaggart's family and promised "to realise the
fallen fighter's dreams". ---- MacTaggart's family also released a statement saying: ----

(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL - Against racism, Case of the "burkini" This country goes crazy (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
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

Palestinian people, return of eighteen days in Gaza. They give us their views on the
situation of the enclave and the complexity of the Gazan society. ---- Are there any other
place in the world that lives this situation? The answer is no. In Gaza, for 10 years, 2
million people are subject to a ruthless blockade. More than half of the population is
young. They and are often highly educated-es (the territory six universities and 100,000
students). Through social networks, they and they know the outside world. Except, no

(en) Workers Solidarity Movement: (Ireland) Rojava Calling protest in Dublin
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 5th annual march for Choice takes place September 24 and once more we are bringing
together an anarchist bloc for the march, which is organised by the Abortion RIghts
Campaign. ---- It's going to be an important march as the governement are desperately
trying to delay calling a referendum to Repeal the 8th Referendum and a huge turnout will
help to force them to abandon their delaying tactics. And with Repeal even being raised by
Rose of Traless contestants (to RTE's horror) there is a real mood of urgency for change
that must be expressed on the streets. We can't wait when 12 people a day are forced to

year jail term. ---- We will be meeting up at the march start point at 1.30 at Parnell SQ,

Negotiations were attempted today between couriers and management, resulting in one of the
negotiators being "deactivated" from the Uber network. The delivery workers then decided

Bure Anticapitaliste. Back on these days. ---- The success of the weekend 200 000 steps
which gathered a thousand people in Bure 5 and 6 June surely due to the pressure on the
region last year. The nuclear waste landfill project Andra (National Agency for
Radioactive Waste Management) Cigéo, dates back to 1994 [ 1 ]. Since September 2015 the
agency has accelerated its presence and its work, both geological and for serving the site

(en) wsm.ie: Dublin Anarchist Black Cross takes part in Annual Anti Internment March, dropped banner in Dublin
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

(en) itsgoingdown: Salute to Jordan Mactaggart from anarchists in New York
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

(en) wsm.ie: Derry Anarchist bulletin Barricade #1 - Interview with a Derry anarchist on Becoming an Anarchist
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.
