On the night of 19th to 20th March, the President of Turkey decided to withdraw the country from the Istanbul Convention to combat domestic violence. He allegedly argued that under the Convention’s protection, the family unit is destroyed, divorces are encouraged, and equality for LGBTQIA+ people is promoted.

A Vrijcoop holland bérházhálózatot 2015-ben alapították. Célja, hogy társprojektjei és azok tagjai számára szolidáris lakhatást biztosítson. A szolidáris lakhatás gondolata és igénye egyrészt a foglaltház-mozgalom történetéből származik, amely arra törekedett, hogy az elhagyott, kiürült ingatlanokat közösségi és kollektív terekké alakítsa, illetve hogy visszacsatolja azokat a kulturális, közösségi és/vagy lakhatási körforgásba – másrészt pedig annak a […]

Vrijcoop is a Dutch rental housing network founded in 2015. Its aim is to provide solidarity housing to its co-projects and its members. The idea and the need for solidarity housing has its roots in the squatting movement which tried to transform abandoned, unused real estate into community and collective spaces, to re-introduce them into […]

I find it amusing to morph something as humourless and self-important as “nihilism” into something self-ironic and ambivalent and, in this form, to harness it to my own projects. This mutant nihilism aims to be fluid, jolly, playful and gregarious and leaves behind the carceral Luna Park of the city to invent games about autonomy on the land.

We have failed to recognize the failures of our societies, of our own desires and wants, our dreams and hopes – manufactured elsewhere –, and that of the systems that structure our world. Although there have been numerous voices telling us that we are heading off a cliff, we did not heed their warnings, nor […]

Yes, you’ve probably heard them on TV, on the radio, or read about their pitiful cries on financial sites, in open letters addressed to government officials through social media sites. Yes, you know about them. They didn’t plan for this crisis, they never expected this. Things were going well for them, how could they have […]

Pandemic and coronavirus (Covid-19) are the words used almost everywhere around the world. The fear is real and it’s spreading like wildfire with every passing second. But, in times of panic and fear, we should not fall prey to the fearmongers who profit off the disgusting panic shows they put on tv or on different […]

So through individual action and collective alternatives we may find ourselves not needing royal institutions any more – we will get to states in other posts –, leaving them to decay in their castles and mansions and, maybe in the future, transfer them into museums for future generations to see our progress.

Almost a week ago the Whitehouse announced that it had successfully conducted a drone attack in which general Quasem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, was killed. Just a few days ago, national outlets from Iran stated that the country’s air forces launched numerous ground to ground missiles targeting two American bases in Iraq.

Anarchism seems to have attracted a steady growing interest since the late nineties. The number and quality of studies since, dedicated to the various facets of a movement previously and for a long time relegated to oblivion or derision, bear solid testimony to an apparently newly discovered relevance of the subject, translated both in its […]

Panait Mușoiu (1864-1944) lived for a while on an alleyway next to Văcărești Street. A sort of Thoreau from the slums of Bucharest, “Pious Panait” as his friends jokingly called him was one of the shabby Jewish neighbourhood’s most familiar faces. Some kind of an eccentric wiseman, the anarchist Mușoiu gained the admiration of those […]

Notice La langue française est une des langues de la naissance de l’anarchisme et de ses premières formulations. Pour la plupart des anarchistes roumains, elle a été vraiment la langue de „l’anarchie”. C’est justement par son intermédiaire que les idées anarchistes ont été découvertes, explorées et circulées au début en Roumanie. Les liens entre les […]

Photo description: Abdullah Öcalan’s book “Prison Writings: The Roots of Civilization” laying tilted on top of Lewis Mumford’s “The City in History”. This photo was in no way chosen accidentally. Both if viewed from the interdependence between the two books, but also viewed from the future, so stay tuned for more :). Future aside, for […]

(Az eredeti cikk román nyelven készült és 2018. december 14-én jelent meg) Budapesten napok óta több ezer felháborodott diák és szakszervezeti tag tüntet azellen a törvénymódosítás ellen, amelyet a magyar miniszterelnök támogatott és, amelyet a parlament hagyott jóvá. A módosítás olyan jogokkal ruházza fel a munkaadókat, amelyeknek megfelelően a munkavállalókat akár évi 400 óra túlórázásra […]
