Another Critique of Insurrectionalism

Another Critique of Insurrectionalism
This zine was added to our catalog more than 5 years ago. You may want to verify information contained within is still relevant.

This zine is a critique of “insurrectionalism” as it was practiced in Barcelona circa 2014. While this may seem like a bit of an esoteric topic, the text’s critique raises a lot of questions that are worth considering for anarchists who identify with the insurrectionary current (and even those who don’t). The discussion of repression and insurrectionary responses to it is particularly worthwhile, as its discussion of the limits of certain insurrectionary approaches and ideas. It has a relevance that extends beyond Barcelona and is an example of the kind of strategic engagement and dialog that more anarchists should be undertaking.

It doesn’t pretend to be universal.
