The Salish Sea Anarcha Network | Jeff Shantz (Canada, 2024)

There has been something of a revival of anarcho-syndicalist theory and practice in so-called Canada. The formation of the Salish Sea Anarcha Network (SSAN) has brought together syndicalists across unceded territories which make up the city of Vancouver. Here’s an overview of some early work and interviews with SSAN participants. They provide analysis of important contemporary issues like relationships with the land, centering Indigenous solidarity, and developing green syndicalist practice — all in a context where active anarcho-syndicalist organizing has largely been absent for a long time.

The Anarchists, Zionism, and the Birth of the State of Israel | Sylvain Boulouque (1998)

Anarchists rarely adhere to a statist conception. From the inception of political Zionism, this national question arises among libertarians and provokes fierce debates. These controversies flare up with the course of events. At the birth of the State of Israel, anarchists took an official stance. They rejected the war in the Middle East and, apparently, the creation of a new state. However, the experience of the kibbutzim, which echoes the images of the agricultural collectives of revolutionary Spain, arouses strong sympathy.

LET ALL HOMELANDS BURN! Anarchism vs Nationalism – Part I | by Gaya Makaran

Anarchism reminds us that “left-wing nationalism” does not exist, a clear oxymoron, as Latin American populism is nothing more than an attempt to build or reinforce, at most, a state capitalism with a new national bourgeoisie projecting itself as “progressive,” “patriotic,” and “anti-imperialist” against the old oligarchy. Yet, in reality, due to its class interest, it soon abandons the popular agenda in favor of new alliances with global capital and imperialism.
