Ten Year Anniversary of N30 and the Battle of Seattle

Ten years ago today, on November 30, 1999, hundreds of thousands of people around the world came together for a day of protest against the WTO and capitalism. Protests happened in dozens of cities, on every continent. This great outpouring of dissent came on the heels of J18 (June 18, 1999) and similar days of anti-capitalist protests. N30 is generally seen as the coming out party for the anti-globalization movement, which hit economic summits and corporations hard in years to come. [Read More]

What you should know about the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP)

The Revolutionary Communist Party, USA (RCP, USA), known originally as the Revolutionary Union, is a Maoist communist party formed in 1975 in the United States. The group has few members at this time and is considered by many to be a relic of the Old Left.

Love and Treason

The Man in the Box

by Kevin Keating

Charlie knew he couldn't sit in a donut shop or walk the streets all night and then come back to work all day. He'd have to sleep somewhere. There had to be some way out of this mess. Then he saw the manager's truck in the distance, so he cursed, got up and went back inside the Vegi-Bowl, a 100% organic juice bar in a pastel-colored box on wheels. The box was stationed on one side of a red brick plaza near the main entrance of the downtown subway station.

Charlie took off his sunglasses, crouched down uncomfortably and looked out a window of the box, gazing across the plaza. "Hey, Terry, that store over there, by the TV's."

Terry was a willowy blond guy who always moved slowly.

"Yeah, what?"

"See the sign?"

The Poor, the Bad and the Angry

by Kevin Keating

I went in through the loading dock. Asshole was coming towards me from the walk-in. I punched my time card and put it back in the slot, feeling him rush past as I headed into the office.

I sat at his desk and counted the money in my cash drawer. When he came in I kept my eyes on him without blinking as he moved around the room, since I know he doesn't like that.

"You're late again, Max."

"Yeah, I'll be on time tomorrow."

"You know you're fucking up around here."

"No I'm not, man. I was just a little late, that's all."

"Well..." He cleared his throat. “I'm gonna have to write you up."

I took the cash drawer out front to register two. Miller was on register four.

Mission Yuppie Eradication Project

Mission Yuppie Eradication Project

The Mission Yuppie Eradication Project is a grassroots movement in San Francisco working to raise awareness about gentrification issues. Since they advocate controversial methods, we've created this support page so that international supporters of the project can stay informed. We plan to include MYEP materials here so that you can start similar projects in your communities. The Yuppie dot-com lifestyle must be fought and eliminated, because if it is left unchecked, it will eventually ruin our neighborhoods, our cities, and our planet.

When working families, artists, and lifelong residents of San Francisco neighborhoods are being evicted from their home so some dot-commer can have some rustic digs, it's time for people to band together and take direct action.

Religion and Spirituality

Anarchism and Religion

Anarchism has for most of its history been
opposed to religion, but anarchists aren't all atheists and in fact hold a variety of views on religion and spirituality.

Are
there religious anarchists?
Christian Anarchists take seriously Jesus' words to his followers that "kings and governors have domination over men; let there be none like that among you." Similarly, Paul's dictum that there "is no authority except God" is taken to its obvious conclusion with the denial of state authority within society. Thus, for a true Christian, the state is usurping God's authority and it is up to each individual to govern themselves and discover
that (to use the title of Tolstoy's famous book) The Kingdom of God is within you.

Anarchist visions

Anarchist Visions

What do anarchists want? What is their vision for the future? Why do they disagree about the future? Hopefully, we can answer these questions and more with the special page on anarchist visions for the future. Anarchists traditionally have been reluctant to discuss our future and our goals. Part of this is a reluctance to suggest that there are blueprints which are universal. Anarchists understand--unlike the traditional leftists--that local conditions require different ways of living. Anarchists also think that you and I should make decisions about our future, not some enlightened bunch of revolutionaries. Anarchism is, after all, about devolving power back to the individual and community. Still, it is useful to talk about our visions, because they provide an example of why people are anarchists and because they provide some guidance for what we do today.
