This zine was added to our catalog more than 5 years ago. You may want to verify information contained within is still relevant.
This short zine from Crimethinc provides arguments against voting and electoral politics in favor of direct action. It also includes a section titled “12 Myths about Direct Action” that deals with common criticisms of direct action.
Excerpt
