A beacon to all



In these uncertain times, when climate change is rushing toward us at the speed of a hurricane, when politics makes a shift to the right and all around are fundamentalists and crazy politicians with as much insight as your average fly, when resources are running out, when democracy reveals itself as the tool of the rich and voting the ritual abdication of our right to decision making, when hope itself appears foolish and not even innocent, anarchy stands as a beacon to all - the only credible hope for humanity.

Rooted in the dreams and desires of us all, whether we admit it or not, anarchy is the voice of reason, an appeal to our better natures, carrying the possibility of a decentralised and sustainable future built on love and respect.

The Spanish knew something of this in 1936 and the Zapatistas know it today.

Millions have known the same throughout history and millions still do.
