- Mariola Sirakova - New General Megathread for the 15th of August 2023
Born 1904 - Kilifarevo, Bulgaria, died May 28th 1925 - Belovo, Bulgaria.
Born in Kilifarevo, Bulgaria on 14th August 1904, the student-actress Mariola Sirakova belonged to a well-off family. She revolted from an early age against her social background and became an anarchist communist when she went to the Girls High School at Tarnovo in 1919.
She regularly took part in secret anarchist meetings.
She began a relationship with another Bulgarian anarchist, Gueorgui Cheitanov. She associated with other important anarchists like Petar Maznev, Georgi Simeonov Popov, and others. In her frre time, she acted in the Orpheus Theatre Company in Kilifarevo. In 1922-23 she studied in Pleven. She often hid wanted anarchists like Vassil Popov and Valko Shankov
In 1923 a military coup led to the butchery of 35,000 workers and peasants. The armed resistance that followed ended with the bomb attack by the Communist Party on Sofia cathedral which was aimed at the country's elite. A massive campaign of repression was then unleashed by the fascists and military against the revolutionary movement.
Mariola was arrested by the police, and brutally beaten. In June 1924 she returned to Kilifarevo. She was arrested again, but soon released. She gave support to the Kilifarevo cheta (armed guerilla unit), bringing them food, medicine and clothes and caring for the wounded.
Special police detachments were set up to hunt Cheitanov down. All the guerrillas united into a single detachment, being forced to disperse towards the end of May. Cheitanov and Mariola Sirakova, were caught in an ambush and arrested. They were taken to Belovo railway station and shot with 12 other prisoners on May 28th June 1925.

- Luigi Galleani - New General Megathread for the 12th of August 2023
On August 12, 1861 was born in Vercelli (Piemont, Italy) the militant, thinker and anarcho-communist propagandist Luigi Galleani, known under various pseudonyms (Gigione, Antonio Valenza, Luigi Pimpino, etc.). Born into a middle-class family, his parents are Clemente Galleani, a primary school teacher, and Olimpia Bonino. As a young man he became interested in politics and in 1881 he enrolled in the Faculty of Law in Torí. In his early years he was a militant in republicanism and garibaldism, collaborating in the democratic newspaper L'Operaio of Vercelli.
In 1885, already anarchist and after abandoning his studies to devote himself to militancy, he founded in Vercelli the newspaper La Boje and collaborated in La Questione Sociale of Torí. After leaving with his family, he directed a workers' league in Vercelli and organized a large number of conferences in various Piedmontese localities.
In 1886 he took an active part in the vaguístic movement of Torí d'aquell, which ended with a harsh police repression. Between 1887 and 1888 he was one of the animators of the full anarcho-socialist La Gazetta Operaiai of Torí and between 1888 and 1889 of La Nuova Gazetta Operaiai. He participated in the III Congress of the Partit Obrer Italià (POI) held in Pavia and collaborated in its organ of expression, Fascio Operaio. In September 1888, in Bologna, during the IV Congress of the POI, he unsuccessfully tried to get the revolutionary and abstentionist line adopted.
In 1889, a year of important workers' agitation and wandering forces, he stood out as an activist and, sought by the authorities, he first went into exile in Switzerland, where he attended the University of Geneva, but he was expelled as an agitator after having organized in that city a tribute to the Haymarket martyrs. Afterwards he went to France, where, as a result of his activities, he was arrested and imprisoned, but he was released thanks to the intervention of the socialist Alexandre Millerand, requested by the libertarian revolutionary Amilcare Cipriani.
In October 1890 he returned to Switzerland and in December of that year he was arrested, along with other companions (Paul Bernard, Giuseppe H. Rovigo, etc.), for having distributed a trilingual anarchist manifesto. Released to the Italian authorities, he was able to benefit from an amnesty.
On January 6, 1891 he participated in the Capolago Congress (Ticino, Switzerland) where he defended Errico Malatesta's thesis of creating an authentic anarchist organization that would embrace the entire Italian peninsula (Partit Socialista Anàrquic). In April 1891, at the International Conference for Workers' Rights, held in Milan, he made a speech against the legalistic tendencies of the workers' movement and presented a motion in favor of the organization of demonstrations for the First of May. In August 1892 he participated as a delegate in the Geneva Congress of the International Workingmen's Association (IWA). At the end of 1892 and the beginning of 1893 he was implicated in the trial for "association of fraudsters" in Genoa, along with 35 other anarchists, and in June he was sentenced to three years in prison.
He was imprisoned in Parma, and soon after he was confined to Pantelleria. There he met his future companion, Maria Ralló, with whom he would have two children. He also made friends with prominent anarchist and socialist militants (Nunzio Valenza, G. D'Ancona, G. Errera, Giovanni Gavilli, Galileo Palla, Emidio Recchioni, etc.). On November 2, 1899 he promoted the publication of the single issue of I Morti, published in Ancona by Alfredo Lazzari and which was an anti-parliamentary and anti-legalist answer to the proposal of a socialist deputy to present to the elections many imprisoned anarchist militants in order to obtain their freedom.
At the end of 1899, after reading this publication, a student, helped by his father, captain of a ship, facilitated the escape of Galleani and his company from Pantelleria and was able to reach Tunisia and then Malta, where, under the false identity of Antonio Valenza, he arrived in Egypt, first in Alexandria and then in Caire, where he made contact with the European libertarian movement. In 1900, after the attack of Gaetano Bresci against King Humbert I, he was arrested, but not extradited.
Then he left for London, where in October 1901 he embarked for the United States. On arrival he replaced, from October 26, 1901, Giuseppe Ciancabilla in the direction of the newspaper La Questione Sociale, which was published in Patterson (New York, USA), a city that had an important presence of Italian immigrant anarchists.
An outstanding lecturer and supporter of direct action and insurrection, in the United States he became one of the most intransigent opponents of the organizational tendency of the libertarian movement. In 1902 he went on a propaganda tour through Vermont and Connecticut. On June 18, 1902 he led the Patterson textile workers' strike; a talented speaker, at a rally in Saals Park, in the Haledon neighborhood of Patterson, attended by 8,000 people, incited the vaguistas to demonstrate their demands and the provocation of a foreman turned the demonstration into a riot.
Martial law was decreed between June 20 and July 2 and the march was suppressed. Fired with a gunshot wound, he had to escape from detention by going to Mont-real (Quebec, Canada). He returned clandestinely to the United States the following year under the name of Luigi Pimpino and settled in Barre (Vermont), where on June 6, 1903 he began to publish the anarcho-communist Italian-language weekly Cronaca Sovversiva, which would be published until 1919. In 1906, with the advice of the chemist and explosives expert Ettore Molinari, he published the booklet La Salute è in voi!, which explained how to make a bomb, but he made a mistake in the transcription of the formula of the nitroglycerin that Molinari had given him and caused more than one explosion to militants who tried to make it; in 1908 he made the pertinent correction that was published in Cronaca Sovversiva.
At that time he maintained a hard controversy with the anarchist advocate and propagandist Francesco Saverio Merlino and with the socialist journalist Giacinto Menotti Serrati, editor of the newspaper Il Proletario of New York; the latter discovered his true identity to the North American authorities and was arrested and extradited to Paterson where he was tried in April 1907 and acquitted. In 1912 he moved to Lynn (Massachusetts) where he continued his propaganda work. During the Great War he criticized the interventionist anarchists and organized a large number of meetings against the war and against compulsory conscription.
In 1914 he published Faccia a facciao col nemico. Between 1914 and 1919 a wave of attacks carried out by Galleanists was unleashed in the USA (New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Milwaukee, Washington, etc.) and the North American authorities decided to put an end to the instigator of the movement. After the suspension of Cronaca Sovversiva on July 18, 1918 -according to the Law of October 1917 that obliged all the newspapers in non-English language to carry the translation of the articles about the war-, the publication of some clandestine issues until March 1919 and the confrontations that started during the celebration of the First of May in New York, he was arrested and on June 26, 1919 he was extradited according to the "Anarchist Exclusion Act" and the "Sedition Act" of 1918, with other companions, to Italy, where he arrived in July in Gènova. Establishing in Torí, with Raffaele Schiavina (Max Sartin), who had also been expelled from the U.S.A., I reprised the edition of Cronaca Sovversiva, publishing 19 numbers between January 17 and October 2, 1920. Also in 1920 and in Torí, it published A Stormo, the manager of which was Pietro Rayneri, a newspaper of which 4,000 copies were published destined to the USA.
On October 28, 1922 he was sentenced by the Court of Torí to 14 months in prison for a press crime. On January 1924 he was released, but his health was damaged. Constantly watched by the feixist police, he did not have the strength to go to France as many of his companions did. In 1925 he published La fine dell'anarchismo? In November 1926, after Anteo Zamboni's attack against Benito Mussolini, he was arrested and confined to Lipari for three years. During his confinement in this Tyrrhenian village he was again sentenced to nine months in prison for having insulted the Duce.
In February 1930 he was released and his companions Pasquale Binazzi and Zelmira Peroni took him to their residence in Caprigliola, where he was constantly watched by the fascist authorities. Luigi Galleani died of a heart attack on November 4, 1931 in Caprigliola (Tuscany, Italy). In November 1933, on the second anniversary of his death, the anarchist group "I Liberi" of New London (Connecticut, USA) published a single issue of Cronaca Sovversiva in his honor. In 1935 his work Aneliti e singulti was published posthumously.

- Kate Austin - New General Megathread for the 25th of July 2023
Kate Austin, born on this day in 1864, was an American journalist and anarchist feminist known for her essay "Woman", which disparaged scientific efforts to prove women's inferiority to men and urged society to abandon sexist customs.
Born in LaSalle County, Illinois, Austin lived in the American Midwest for most of her life. In 1883, her father discovered Lucifer, an anarchist/free love journal published by the feminist Moses Harman. This influence coupled with the Haymarket Riot of 1886 politically radicalized Austin, bringing her to call herself an anarchist and a feminist.
Austin joined the American Press Writers Association, and her work increased as she came in contact with many well known radical writers and lecturers of her time, keeping her busy reading and writing. She contributed to the magazine Lucifer, as well as The Firebrand, Free Society, Discontent, and The Demonstrator.
"As for intelligence, my sex has already experimented with that ingredient, and found it like mother Eve's forbidden fruit: Very Good."

- Erich Mühsam - New General Megathread for the 11th of July
Erich Mühsam, murdered by Nazis on this day in 1934, was a Jewish anarchist author who openly condemned Nazism and satirized Hitler before being arrested by the Nazi regime in 1933.
In 1911, Mühsam founded the newspaper, "Kain" as a forum for anarcho-communist politics, stating that it would "be a personal organ for whatever the editor, as a poet, as a citizen of the world, and as a fellow man had on his mind." The paper opposed capital punishment and government censorship of theater.
After World War I, Mühsam was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for playing a leading role in the Bavarian Revolution. He was freed as part of the same general amnesty for political prisoners under the Weimar Republic that released Adolf Hitler.
As a cabaret performer and writer during this time, he achieved international prominence, promoting works which condemned Nazism and personally satirized Adolf Hitler.
In 1933, Mühsam was arrested, with propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels labeling him as one of "those Jewish subversives."
While imprisoned, he was brutally tortured, however his spirit remained unbroken. When his captors tried to force him to sing the "Horst-Wessel-Lied" (the Nazi's anthem), Mühsam sung The Internationale, instead.
According to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Mühsam was murdered in the Oranienburg concentration camp on July 11th, 1934.

- Any reading recommendations on abolitionism?
Today at work, I talked to my normie colleagues about ACAB. Their opinion was incredibly boring ("it is stupid, since obviously not all cops can be bad", etc.) and uninformed.
I am not hoping that some awesome debating skills might convince anyone during lunch break. But I was a bit annoyed at myself that I couldn't come up with better points than what my gut came up with.
So, I was wondering if anyone in here can suggest some material/reading list on abolitionism. Bonus points for:
- Not US centric. I don't live in the US and it is obvious that the cops in the so-called united states are especially fucked up. Focusing too much on that might offer the easy way out of "good thing that's not where I live" instead of actually radically critiqueing the institution of police/prisons as an idea.
- Not too polemic. We all enjoy a little dunking. But I think that if it is too obvious that the authors are anarchists and the conclusion is obvious from the start, it lessens the impact of the prece and I feel almost manipulated. Ideally, I could give this stuff to my left-leaning mom to read, who still enjoys her scandinavian copaganda mini-series.
- Availability of an audiobook/podcast would be nice. :)
I am happy for your input, if you got any. :)
- Emma Goldman - New General Megathread for the 27th of June 2023
Emma Goldman, born on this day in 1869, was an anarchist writer and activist in the United States whose works, including "Anarchism and Other Essays" and her journal Mother Earth, influenced anarchist movements all over the world.
Attracted to anarchism after the Haymarket affair, Goldman became a renowned writer and lecturer. She and anarchist writer Alexander Berkman, her lover and lifelong friend, planned to assassinate industrialist and financier Henry Clay Frick as an act of "propaganda of the deed".
Frick survived the attempt on his life, and Berkman was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Goldman was imprisoned several times in the years that followed for "inciting to riot" and illegally distributing information about birth control.
After their release from prison, Goldman and Berkman were again arrested and deported to Russia. Initially supportive of the October Revolution that brought the Bolsheviks to power, Goldman changed her opinion in the wake of the Kronstadt rebellion, denouncing the Soviet Union for its repression of political dissent. She left the Soviet Union and, in 1923, published a book about her experiences, "My Disillusionment in Russia".
Goldman was an extremely well-known anarchist in her lifetime, with a reputation as a powerful orator. Her writing and lectures spanned a wide variety of issues, including prisons, atheism, freedom of speech, militarism, capitalism, free love, and homosexuality.
"If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution."

- Anarchists and the Working Class Movements -- Malatesta
Malatesta is the anarchist who most clearly differentiates anarchists from marxists, while recognizing what works: specifically anarchist orgs, participation in unions, working-class self defense. He invented modern anti fascism. Guy doesn't get enough credit.
Anyways, in this one, he calls for anarchist participation in the trade union movement as anarchists. He argues that while unions are a prerequisite for revolution, they are an insufficient organ for it.
While the Italian anarchist revolutions in the 30s and 50s ultimately failed, they came closer than revolutions in anywhere in post-war Europe besides France and Spain, and should be recognized as an essential part of our revolutionary heritage. Who's to say if the Partisan movement would have been a quarter as strong without them.

- Taking of Encarnación (1931) - General Megathread for the 20th of February 2023
On this day in 1931, anarchist workers and students in Paraguay seized control of the city of Encarnación and attempted to declare an anarchist community, holding the town for 16 hours before it was reclaimed by state forces.
The uprising took place amidst widespread a backdrop of widespread social discontent amongst the working classes of Paraguay, with a strong existing anarcho-syndicalist movement.
The rising in Encarnación had been planned in tandem with actions in Asunción and Villarrica, but the government had arrested and deported labor leaders there in the days preceding. Workers had planned to seize control of rail links between the cities, paralyzing the country's transport links.
Due to the lack of instantaneous communication at the time, revolutionaries were unaware that their compatriots in the other cities had been arrested before they crossed the Paraná River from Argentina into the city on February 20th.
Despite this setback, 150 revolutionaries, among them notable communists Oscar Creydt, Marcos Kanner, and Félix Cantalicio Aracuyú, successfully held the commune in Encarnación for sixteen hours before it was recaptured by the state.
Many rebels successfully managed to flee, using two seized steamboats to travel towards Brazil, attacking "yerba mate" plantations and burning records of indentured servitude along the way. Seventeen who were unable to flee were arrested and subject to torture and incarceration.
In 1985, Paraguayan researcher Fernando Quesada published a book about the uprising, titled "1931, la toma de Encarnación".
