There is a widow in upstate NY who reels from a double-whammy of a brilliant, successful husband who confessed to a sexual assault and the memory of his ashes arriving 6 months later from Maine State Prison (MSP) with the notice that he had died of “natural causes.” Then another whammy–finding out 6 weeks later, after she had buried him, that it was a homicide and that prison officials had known as much within minutes of his death–officially, within 2 days.

How can we know what is going on and fast when we take to the streets? An effective communication system is the life-blood of any skirmish, uprising or revolution. Timely information can provide nourishment and animation to all other aspects of a resistance project. Without the ability to communicate with our comrades we would become isolated and will not be able to effect real or substantial change. In this essay we will look at the sociological and technological underpinnings of various communications systems that have been used when we gather to take our resistance to the streets. We will examine the shortcomings of previous models and see how they can be improved upon to create a system that allows us to employ fully the passion of our dreams and resistance.

Not too surprisingly, whenever organizationalist, leftist anarchist tendencies cast about for justification for their amalgamations of anarchist theory with leftist politics, they invariably seem to latch on to Jo Freeman’s now quite dated essay titled The Tyranny of Structurelessness. In fact, the recently spreading infatuation with the Organizational Platform of the Libertarian Communists by Peter Arshinov, Nestor Makhno et al amongst some less self-critical and more leftist anarchists has led to quite a proliferation of anarchist web sites featuring Freeman’s not-too-veiled attack on anarchist theories of organization.

Turkish bourgeoisie is singing the same old jingoist songs from the mouth of Turkish PM. They threatened to expel immigrant Armenian workers.

Oh, right. There isn’t one.

Think back seven years ago to this day. Where were you on March 19th, 2003, when the invasion of Iraq began? Did you see “Shock and Awe” footage of the orange explosions in the clear Baghdad sky, piped in grainy TV shows, lit at night with the green glow of CNN cameras? Did you read the tickertapes under these images of neighborhoods lit on fire? Over those next days, did you, like many of us, collapse in overwhelmed grief and rage, frantic at not knowing how we could stop our government's onslaught?
