A cool zine out of Dublin, Ireland - Rag stands for "Revolutionary Anarcha-Feminist Group". This Rag covers an incredibly diverse set of topics - pro-choice campaigning, a cooperative cafe in Dublin, DIY "gig" organizing, holiday photos in Brazil, an alternative view of mental health, medical abortions online, women in cycling, and more. It's a level of self-awareness that makes this zine particularly advanced, and thus recommended. Plus, there's a solid page of recommendations for books, zines, activities, etc. What's not to love about this zine?
Written by the Red Army Faction themselves in 1971 and with an introduction by Anthony Murphy (2004), this is the first major ideological text from West Germany's most famous urban guerillas. The Red Army Faction was Marxist and Maoist, militant direct action organization in Germany; a network of underground guerillas who committed acts of violence in the service of the class struggle; a successor to the Baader-Meinhof Gang; became one of Europe's most feared groups; disbanded in 1998. Its document merits attention from anyone who wants to understand the motivation and ideology behind the beginning of a long and violent confrontation between the Red army Faction and the German state. Apart from setting out the justification for armed struggle this text touches on: the strength of the capitalist system in West Germany; the weaknesses of the revolutionary Left; the significance of the German student movement; the meaning and importance of internationalism; the necessity for taking a revolutionary initiative; the importance of class analysis and political praxis; the failure of parliamentary democracy and how this had the inevitable consequence of political violence; the factionalism of the German Left; and the organization and logistics of setting up an illegal armed struggle. An educational tale of forgotten history that we could all learn from.
Black-and-white stencils of twelve revolutionary women, along with some nice biographical backgrounds. A beautiful idea, paying homage to and celebrating the "lives, deeds, and leadership of women of the revolution." You should be able to use these images to make your own zines, t-shirts, patches, buttons, etc or better yet, use this zine as an inspiration to create your own more visual images honoring these heroic, often overlooked women from history.

A great zine review supplement chronicling the choice picks of 2003 from about a dozen zine enthusiasts. It's a labor of love and many of the descriptions urged me to pick up new zines that I had only heard of or were completely new to me. What a great way to find new zine and the price is right!

The Society of the Spectacle is a 1967 book by Guy Debord, which developed concepts relating to the "gaze" of modern culture and commodity fetishism. The book also contains sharp criticism of Leninism in all its variants and presents a direct democratic alternative. It continues to influence a variety of philosophical and political movements. It is one of the principle manuals of understanding situationism.
This is a series of recordings of modern young people applying situationism and the "Society of the Spectacle" to their own lives through their own stories, experiences, and thoughts.

In today´s world, multinational corporations have become modern-day conquistadors. Using the I.M.F., the World Bank, the W.T.O., N.A.F.T.A., and the F.T.A.A., transnational corporations have become more powerful than many countries. Setting up global assembly lines, these corporate giants have moved freely around the world forcing countries, rich and poor, to surrender their land, resources, and labor. In the process, corporations have poisoned the environment, destroyed labor laws, and made massive profits shifting wealth from the global south to the industrialized north.
Collecting poster artwork from 25 individuals and collectives, SAW wants to look at how corporate globalization has affected our world, how it has impacted the land, and how people are fighting back. This collection represents artists from 10 different countries and over 20 different cities. These posters illustrate specific struggles in countries like Brazil and the United States, and they also tackle international issues around poverty and gentrification. Along with a strong critique of imperialism, the posters show how communities throughout the world are resisting corporate power for a more just and sustainable world - whether it's opposing I-69, Coca Cola, Shasta Dam or whether it's supporting rights to collective housing, Brazil's worker movement, or protecting your home.
This is a global wheat paste project to publicly display these posters and the funding comes from selling them to people like you. So drop some cash so these can be distributed globally!

Tenacious #14 is the 2008 Mother's Day issue. The writing in Tenacious is really moving stuff--women in prison pour their hearts out about their health, education, sanity, and generally compromised quality of life. Some women write about their families and the overwhelming emotions they feel, while others talk about the political side of being incarcerated, like poisonous drinking water and their being used as slave labor. Thanks to Vikki Law for continuing to edit this important collection of disenfranchised voices, and to all the women who contribute their stories.
This is a collection of various people's accounts of having abortions, advice for people getting abortions, ways to prepare mentally/physically, the history of abortion, and a little poetry. This is a powerful anthology with a lot of personal tales and experience seeping through from women of different ages. My favorites were the sotry of the woman who receive an abortion before they were legal, Canadian healthcare covering abortions, and the reflections on people re-evaluating their choices & actions years later. Another equally powerful story is a tale of doing an herbal abortion at home and how her partner behaved. There is much to learn from in this excellently compiled zine!
Has it been awhile since you've read a story with skilled prose and the kind of vivid, lasting imagery that gets your imagination to shoot holes in the atmosphere? Me too. These did not disappoint, nor was I gagging on the common pomp and circumstance that comes with scholarly writing. The theme I'm sensing is borderline sci-fi, macambre, Sir Eel; bringing to the page manifestations of fears - you know, the camera rotates and it was....YOU! ALL ALONG! ....screaming NOOOOOOOO!!! Existentialism I guess, whatever that is. My gripe is that the stories illustrate the points better than the poorly chosen graphics that accompany them. Other than that it is a buck well spent, buy less incense and get this instead. (Monte)
In a concise manner it deals with the issues and historical climate the Class War Federation established itself in, in Britain. Covering the history of capitalism and class struggles, plus Ireland and all the new 'issues' it is a good starting point for those who want to know more after the recent activities in Seattle, Washington and London. The book retained its approach all the way through, taking an objective working class point of view as its guiding principle.
A recent reprint coming as a breath of fresh air, inspired by the uprisings and rebellions of people in Britain and around the world. It shows that little has changed in our society since the beginning of last century. Despite the politicians of the right and the left trying to wish us out of existence, our class, the working class, are still here: alive and kicking!
As the left cry into their beer over the failure of their plans, we in Class War think it's about time to throw them and their methods into the dustbin of history and return to the basics. We argue for the re-creation of an independent revolutionary movement within the working class, under the control of no one but themselves, inspired by the best traditions of unity and solidarity. This is our unfinished business!
This was the first release I had planned. It took awhile to come out. I am really sick of seeing these around but it's a good comp and it gets it's share of good reviews despite billions of comps still coming out. Alot of the bands broke up as it was coming out so they lost interest. It includes Discount, Operation: Cliff Clavin, The Unknown, The Gunga Dins, and Chalkline. If this press ever sells out then I'll probably get some decent cover art.
