With the UK’s Foreign Recruitment Act making enlistment in a foreign army illegal, the British authorities became increasingly rigorous in their attempts to enforce non-intervention and implement the law, so Brigaders were recruited discretely through the Communist Party network by local cadres...

Since the birth of speculative freemasonry in the early 17th century, large numbers of intelligent and otherwise well-informed, sane and sensible people have believed that much of what was happening around them only occurred because it was set in motion by secret societies, the motors of history....

An anarchist critique of John Rawls' 'A Theory of Justice'. Since its publication in 1971 the political ideas expounded by philosopher John Rawls in A Theory of Justice have provided the justifiers and apologists (i.e., the informers and the regulators who, respectively, mould opinion and behaviour...

Until the end of the eighteenth century one of the most important developments in warfare, apart from the invention of gunpowder and the adoption of firearms, had ‘been the superseding of feudal military organisation by professional, mercenary, troops’. By the end of the fifteenth century the...

A speculative look at the culture, history and political role of the Special Air Service Regiment as a warrior elite and ‘parallel enforcement body’ within the British sphere of influence. This article first appeared in the Cienfuegos Press Anarchist Review Vol 1 No 6 (Summer 1982) and was reprinted...

WITH THE CURRENT centennial chatter on the whys and wherefores of the First World War, not much has been said about the preceding general European social crisis as a force for international tension in 1914. The debate on the origins of the war has long revolved around ascribing responsibility for...

THE NORTH AMERICAN NEW LEFT was a protest-oriented movement of the 1950s and 1960s. In its early, developmental stage New Left theories evolved primarily from the trial-and-error experiences of its most dynamic constituent groups and individuals. It was, essentially, a response by liberal activists...

REVOLUTION: an anarchist perspective: Revolution is a much used term but rarely is it discussed in a way that sheds any light on what the process actually involves. Revolutionaries themselves more often than not refer to it only in passing, or in terms of some historical myth dictated by whatever...

The career of Stefano Delle Chiaie spans two continents and at least two decades. The history of Delle Chiaie is the history of nazism in our world today. Through it we see neo-fascist terrorist organisations in their true role: agents of an inner, oligarchic power sphere which sets itself above all...

‘1968 and all that’, was, originally, a talk given at Glasgow’s Aye Write Festival in December 2008. It was an attempt on that 40th anniversary to put the events of that year into some sort of political and social context — at least from my personal perspective. In it, however, I posed the...
