The Manifesto to Address the State’s Unjust, Violent, and Unfair Practices of Anarchist Organizations
http://www.the-mexican.org/news/The-Mifesto-to-address-the-state-unjust-s-unfair-violations-of-apartheid-in-apartheid-of-the-anarchism/. The aim of the MEXICO Anarchist Coalition is to get an overview of current, systemic racist and fascist policies in the country and provide a comprehensive critique and discussion on the topic. We’ve organized as a full-time group and our articles are free to spread to anyone who wants to read them and support them.Our aim is to be a voice, voice, for an oppressed, oppressed, and unrepresentative anarchist class with an interest in the issues, ideas, and perspectives of the oppressed communities of the United States, a state that oppresses and exploits peoples, individuals, and groups, and actively violates, denigrates, criminalizes, silences, and criminalizes its own people. If you’re not already aware of this, please join us for a public, accessible read, and be a part of it.Our goal is to show the state unjust policies that have impacted people in every way imaginable, who live in unjust and unjust economic and social conditions, live in a system that discriminates and oppresses, criminalizes, and often kills people, most prominently at the hands of some criminal, to the detriment of the most vulnerable residents and local communities. The MEXICO Anarchist Coalition and the International Front for Justice are the only political groups that have been formally elected on November 24th, and it will be our great pleasure to share this with you as the #1 anarchist community in America. We’re not making an effort to give you anything other than information on what you should be interested in reading, but rather are going to be the ONLY resource for you to read and analyze the issues presented. This is one of the easiest things that can be done on the internet. We love to hear about all sorts of progressive struggles and struggles facing us. We want to hear about the issues and ideas that our actions and our actions speak to. The goal is to reach out to all the relevant communities, and to share this information all the way through to the day.It helps to have something that we can call an anarchist journal, for you to have a voice that could be a voice, but don’t have one. We’ve been trying to establish what would be a viable source of anarchist information or information on struggles, for example, our first anarchist journal, called A Moment’s Journey. We’ve also begun our own journal called “Punch Box.org”.The MEXICO Anarchist Coalition offers up free, downloadable articles and analyses from any of the four main social justice journals: the Open Society Foundations of Freedom (OSF), the Anarchist Forum of America (AFA), and the International Front for Justice. We’ve also collected articles from over 75 anarchist and non-archist publications
