Elephant Editions

The Anarchist Tension - Alfredo M. Bonanno - Anarchism is not a concept that can be locked up in a word like a gravestone. It is not a political theory. It is a way of conceiving life, and life, young or old as we may be is a stake we must play day after day.

The Insurrectional Project - Alfredo M. Bonanno - Today as never before, striking at the root of inequality means attacking that which makes the unequal distribution of knowledge possible directly. But not blind attack. Not desperate illogical attack. Projectual, revolutionary attack, with eyes wide open in order to understand and to act.

Armed Joy - Alfredo M. Bonanno - "Hurry comrade, shoot the policeman, the judge, the boss. Now, before a new police prevent you. Hurry to say No, before the new repression convinces you that saying no is pointless, mad, and that you should accept the hospitality of the mental asylum. Hurry to attack capital before a new ideology makes it sacred to you. Hurry to refuse work before some new sophist tells you yet again that 'work makes you free'. Hurry to play. Hurry to arm yourself."

Apart from the Obvious Exceptions - Alfredo M. Bonanno - "Two well dressed little men, frequenters of the Courts of Rome by profession, have decided to arrest a few dozen comrades and incriminate as many more… A girl just turned twenty ends up reciting the role of the ‘penitent’ under the protection of a forest of bayonets… But we are defending ourselves. Because we are not convinced that the game is over completely, or that the State is winning even this ongoing small battle, and we believe there are still possibilities, even legal technicalities, in our favour. Apart from the obvious exceptions of course."

Let's Destroy Work, Let's Destroy the Economy - Alfredo M. Bonanno - "If we are to play with our lives and during our lives, we must learn how to do so and set the rules of the game ourselves, doing it in such a way that these are clear to us and incomprehensible labyrinths to others. We cannot just say that a game with rules is still work and that if the rules are abandoned the game becomes free, therefore libertarian. The absence of rules is not synoymous with freedom…If we want to destroy work we must build roads of individual and collective experimentation which take no account of work except to cancel it from the reality of what is possible."

At Daggers Drawn - Anon - One part of this society has every interest in continuing to rule, the other in it all collapsing as soon as possible. Deciding which side one is on is the first step. But resignation, the basis of agreement between the parts (improvers of the existent and its false critics) is everywhere, even in our own lives 'the authentic place of the social war' in our desires and resoluteness, just as in our little daily submissions.
With all this it is necessary to draw daggers, to finally draw daggers with life.

Albania, Laboratory of Subversion - Anon - In Albania in 1997 a sudden explosion of popular rage demonstrated yet again that the State only exists thanks to the complicity of those it dominates. Written when the insurrection in Albania was at its peak, this inspiring account pushes us to reflect upon our limitations in the light of such events, and to seek ways to go beyond chatter and idle talk.

Venomous Butterfly Publications - by or translated by - Wolfi Landstreicher/Feral Faun

Feral Revolution - " Feral revolution is an adventure. It is the daring exploration of going wild. It takes us into unknown territories for which no maps exist. We can only come to know these territories if we dare to explore them actively. We must dare to destroy whatever destroys our wildness and to act on our instincts and desires. We must dare to trust in ourselves, our experiences, and our passions. Then we will not let ourselves be chained or penned in. We will not allow ourselves to be tamed. Our feral energy will rip civilisation to shreds and create a life of wild freedom and intense pleasure."

Against the Logic of Submission - Examines the necessity of the subversive transformation of ourselves and our relationships, and practices, as well as ideologies and methodologies that hinder this. It is not a cause to which we give ourselves, but the re-appropriation of our lives.

Critical Thinking as an Anarchist Weapon - An introduction to critical thinking. Outlines tools for analysing others arguments such as spotting flaws in their logic and fallacious arguments.

Fullness of Struggle Without Adjectives - Translated from the Italian anarchist newspaper Canenero in the winter of 1996-97. The text and reply begin a critical discussion on the formation of armed groups especially relating to specialisation.

On Behalf of the Barbarians - by Bleu Marin - Translated from the Italian anarchist magazine Diavolo in Corpo. An analysis of the current social struggle that indicates how the crisis of meaning imposed by the civilized "progress" as it undermines every aspect of life - social, physical, intellectual, emotional and natural - has brought us to the point where the struggle of the exploited and excluded classes can only realize itself precisely as a struggle for decivilization.

On Sabotage as One of the Fine Arts - From the Asturias region of Spain (translated from Spanish?) A poetic, situationist inspired, argument for the continued and increased use of sabotage by small groups in the class struggle.

Summits, Counter Summits and Social War - A selection of essays discussing the anti-globalization movement and summit hopping.

To the Wanderers - Translated from Italian. An analysis by some Italian anarchists of the universal uprooting imposed by capital and its specific expression in large-scale immigration and the detention centres for undocumented 'aliens'.
