AARGH issue 10 is online

Image
Number 10 - the (very late) latest edition of AARGH (the Aotearoa Anarchist Review) is now available as a PDF online version here and imposed version here .  We began to produce this AARGH at the end of last year - the focus was the rise of the far right. We were waiting for a few more articles but then the attack in Christchurch happened, so over that weekend we wrote 'This is NZ', added a recipe, and then published. Please download and read.

Fascism & the rise of the right

Image
Racism is embedded in this country, NZ is built on racist violence. Racism is woven into the state and bred through communities. Internationally white supremism is on the rise again and it is here. We have had fascist groups for a longtime but too many people tend to turn a blind eye to them. But we can't. Fascism cannot be tolerated. Below are a few books that the Freedom Shop has on fighting fascism and the rise of the right.
