I saw the first image of what blacbloc was... And felt like I was looking into my closet. Everyone wearing black... My whole wardrobe almost lol.
I started reading this just now.
I'm not really down for protests unless it involves storming the psychopaths elites homes in huge numbers. Otherwise I see now real use apart from raising awareness.
Even still, all the more power to them. Information over what Anarchy is, is growing so rapidly, IMO. Especially in recent times. More people are questioning authority as civil unrest hightens as the economy continues to crash harder still. Momentum is increasing for change. I hope humanity as a whole catches up in time before we regret not doing anything at all as a species.
But cycles repeat as history doesn't fail to tell us that. Cycles will always repeat.
We got to fight, for the right, to paaarty.

I don't know how far into the subject you've been, but the first three are historical figures and the fourth is from the 80's.
I started jumping ship in 1985, and you are very correct, far more people in the room with anarchist tendencies today.

This one is required reading, if you are gonna be directly active.
Attentat.
Acab.
I have a deep reading list from peaceful to illegalist.
IF you would like to learn more on the subject.
Sweet! I have read a couple from each. Yet I forget who wrote what and what the titles are. All my books are pdf now. Getting print is kinda expensive but worth it. So I will be turning many of my books into paper back.
Will be on long trips soon, so plenty of time to catch up on much reading. Although, it seems I will need a lifetime to read what I already have, so I tend to be really picky on what to read next. But, yes, anything anti authoritarian I try to consume as much as I could get.
You can download all the books on the list in pdf, except this one which is more of a short story, anyways.
Oops, you can get it in pdf, too.
