    Are alternative energies and Green New Deals enough to deliver
    environmental justice? Peter Gelderloos argues that international
    governmental responses to the climate emergency are structurally
    incapable of solving the crisis. But there is hope. Across the world,
    grassroots networks of local communities are working to realize their
    visions of an alternative revolutionary response to planetary
    destruction, often pitted against the new megaprojects promoted by
    greenwashed alternative energy infrastructures and the
    neocolonialist, technocratic policies that are the forerunners of the
    Green New Deal. Gelderloos interviews food sovereignty activists in
    Venezuela, Indigenous communities reforesting their lands in Brazil
    and anarchists fighting biofuel plantations in Indonesia, looking at
    the battles that have cancelled airports, stopped pipelines, and
    helped the most marginalized to fight borders and environmental
    racism, to transform their cities, to win a dignified survival.

    An Appeal to the Young by Peter Kropotkin

    For questions, comments or to get involved, e-mail us at audibleanarchist(at)gmail.com

    You can read the Appeal at https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-an-appeal-to-the-young

     Addressed to young men and women preparing to enter the professions, An Appeal to the Young was first published in 1880 in Kropotkin’s paper, La Revolte, and was soon thereafter issued as a pamphlet. An American edition was brought out by Charles H. Kerr in 1899, in the wake of the great Anarchist’s first U.S. speaking tour; his Memoirs of a Revolutionist was also published (by Houghton-Mifflin) that year. A new edition in Kerr’s “Pocket Library of Socialism” appeared in 1901; just after Kropotkin’s second U.S. tour. (In Chicago, he had been introduced to a large audience by Clarence Darrow, a close associate of the Kerr Company.) Yet another Kerr edition in the 1910s went through many printings, and was still on the Kerr list well into the 1930s.

    Long unavailable in any U.S. edition, it is reprinted here in the standard English translation by pioneer British socialist H.M. Hyndman, whose lush Victorian prose ably captures the eloquence, fervour and charm of this celebrated revolutionary classic.

    The Eye of the Storm, The Anarchist Response to Hurricane Helene

    The zine can be read, printed and distributed at https://crimethinc.com/zines/the-eye-of-every-storm-anarchist-response-to-hurricane-helene

    At the end of September 2024, western North Carolina and the surrounding states experienced 30 inches of rainfall over two days when an unnamed storm collided with Hurricane Helene over the mountains of Southern Appalachia. The resulting catastrophe laid waste to the entire region. At a time when misinformation, rising authoritarianism, and disasters exacerbated by industrially-produced climate change are creating a feedback loop of escalating crisis, it’s crucial to understand disaster response as an integral part of community defense and strategize about how this can play a part in movements for liberation. In the following reflection, a local anarchist involved in longstanding disaster response efforts in Appalachia recounts the lessons that they have learned over the past six weeks and offers advice about how to prepare for the disasters to come.

    https://bibliotecaanarquista.org/library/marilena-chaui-o-desafio-filosofico-de-espinosa
    "O texto de Marilena Chaui, "O Desafio Filosófico de Espinosa", apresenta uma análise detalhada da interpretação de Antonio Negri sobre o pensamento de Espinosa. Negri desafia interpretações tradicionais, destacando a revolução filosófica de Espinosa, que rompe com as visões panteísta e mística. Negri evidencia a mudança de Espinosa para uma ontologia materialista, fundamentando a liberdade e a ação humana e estabelecendo um paradigma ético-político inovador, contrastando com as ideologias teológico-metafísicas e dialéticas do século XVII."
