Rejecting Liberalism in the Fight Against the Right: Reflections on Toronto’s 45th IWD

Posted on1 Comment

Anonymous Submission to North Shore Counter-Info On Saturday, March 8th, Toronto’s International Women’s Day Organizing Committee hosted its 45th annual rally and march. Despite their claims of acting as a feminist front against the Right, this day’s actions made clearer than ever how Toronto’s IWD Organizing Committee and their sponsors constitute a counter-revolutionary liberal opposition to any true feminist commitments in this city. If we are to achieve gender and Read More …

What’s Happening in Turkey — From an Anti-Authoritarian Perspective

Posted onLeave a comment

Anonymous Submission to North Shore Counter-Info Background The Republic of Turkey, which was founded on the genocide of the Armenians in the region with a nationalist and murderous leaven, has not changed much in the past century. For non-Muslims, Kurds, Alevis and women who did not hold the majority and power in their hands, the state and its successfully constructed society were always a source of oppression. But starting in Read More …

DONT USE MOLOTOVS: Some notes on safely burning teslas (or other cars)

Posted on1 Comment

Seeing the wave of tesla arsons has made us incredibly happy. But we are worried to see that many of these attacks have used molotovs

-molotovs aren’t guaranteed to ignite/explode. There have been many cases where police have recovered intact molotov cocktails from attacks. that is a shitton of forensic evidence that detectives WILL exploit.
-Even if the bottle does shatter, the shards of glass still likely contain tons of valuable forensic evidence
-Molotovs are loud and immediately create a big flame, all of which kills the element of surprise needed for arson attacks, which runs the risk of you getting captured or the fire gets extinguished much quicker

Water, Land, and Freedom: My Journey Through a Decade of Pipeline Resistance on the Yintah and Beyond

Posted on

From It’s Going Down Franklin Lopez looks back on grassroots movement media and the creation of the documentary film, Yintah. In the summer of 2011, I was exhausted—physically, mentally, creatively. I’d just finished hauling my feature film, END:CIV, across North America, and when I got back to Vancouver, I didn’t even have a place to sleep. So, I did what many DIY filmmakers do: I moved into my van. That’s Read More …

London: Where have all the anarchists gone?

Posted on1 Comment

I just moved to London recently, I was excited to see if any anarchists were still active in this unapologetically beautiful, working-class city. Yet the first thing I see when I come is barely any anarchists (which is kind of what I was hoping for).

I was looking forward to getting away from Ottawa because of the obnoxious (and frankly exaggerated) politics of Ottawa, the YCL stood for compliance and the Punch Up Collective was too cagey to join with. Yet, for some reason, I’m determined to find any fellow anarchists within the bricked and woodland areas of the Forest City (at least it’s called that for now, I hope there will be trees left in the future).
