The Problem with Anarchist Ego
Here's a gem from Free that does a great job explaining why we need to work together, even if we don't agree all of the time. I'd like to add that the concept of forgiveness is one that deserves a re-exmination, too. "It seems that more and more anarchist publications are becoming breeding grounds for self-promoting pompous drivel. Perpetuating a cycle of discord not only among fellow anarchists, but others who could be our allies if only our heads weren't
stuck so far up our arses."...

From Mexico: Oaxaca at the crossroads
The political strategy of the government is to impose a negotiated settlement that doesn't meet the movement's demands, and demobilizes the movement, while blackmailing Oaxaca with the threat of the entry of the PFP [Mexican Federal Police] and the army into Oaxaca. In a surprise move, sections of the leadership of the APPO and of section 22 of the CNTE (teachers union) accepted the "proposals" of the secretary of the Interior, agreeing to surrender Oaxaca to the "custody" of the city and sta...
