The new issue of Black Flag: Anarchist Review is now available:
This year’s second issue is a special to mark the 150th anniversary of the death of Michael Bakunin. This follows our Peter Kropotkin (Autumn 2025) and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (Spring 2025) specials and has the same format – articles on Bakunin, by Bakunin and reviews of works by or on him. Many of the articles by Bakunin have been newly translated, some of them for the first time (as far as we are aware).
JULY 19 NOW 90 YEARS SINCE BATTLE FOR BARCELONA WON AT GREAT COST.
RIP ASCASO
The Black Liberation Army was an avowedly marxist-leninist armed organization which directly discouraged the idea and practice of a full autonomy within the black liberation armed struggle, as this section from the B.L.A. Study Guide (compulsory reading for all members by 1977) sums up: "[Regarding democratic centralism] some complain bitterly of the authoritarian aspect and prefer a loose federation of individuals and/or collectives, each free to pursue their own course, and none bound to the will of the majority. Such a mode of operation causes factionalism, disintegration, and often a spilling of blood of our own people. This rightest error stems from petty bourgeois individuals and opportunism and has no place in Marxist Leninist Organisation."
