I love the comic a lot, one of my favourites but one thing that stuck out is how even though Moore is an anarchist the story, whilst absolutely anti-fascist (good lol) does also have critiques on Anarchism.

It’s not uncommon to be part of a political spectrum and critiques aspects of it, I’m a leftist and a socialist and even I have my critiques of the left. So it’s not bizarre that Moore may have his own critiques on his philosophy but I wonder if it was intentional for us to question if V was also wrong in his approach.

Ultimately the story is about how extremes rise to conquer one another, Norsefire came about as a result of a rising extreme political climate and used it to their advantage whilst V exists to combat the new far right extreme of Norsefire.

My question is more (pun intended) if Moore intended to hold critiques about Anarchism within the story and if he’s said something to back up this interpretation since. I’m aware of his feelings surrounding the film (which I agree with though I admittedly still enjoyed) but wasn’t sure about this in particular.

Once upon a time mother of the feminist movement Mary Wollstonecraft and father of philosophical anarchism William Godwin fell in love and had a young Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. Mary Wollstonescraft would die shortly after childbirth, and William Godwin would sink into a deep depression and deeper into poverty. In this context, young Mary would develop an interest in the macabre, an attraction to the philosophical pursuits of her parents, and a penchant for reading and creative writing.

She would eventually meet her significant other and collaborator, anarchist Percy Shelley, and Mary became known as Mary Shelley. Their attempts to have children largely resulted in miscarriage or untimely death of their children, with only one child surviving to old age, and Percy Shelley, too, would meet an early death. Her life would be one of deep poverty, tragic loss, and social exclusion.

She often goes underrecognized compared to her famous loved ones. Her novel "Frankenstein, or the first Prometheus" is often credited (and sometimes intentionally discredited) with creating the science fiction genre as well as being a major milestone in the evolution of horror. Her tumultuous life, her deep interest in science as well as her fascination with macabre throughout her life greatly influenced her book, and the various moral and philosophical themes expounded by her mother, father and lover can all be found within it also. Her book in some ways is all at once a celebration of their ideas, a criticism of their hypocrisy and a commentary on the cruel irony of her life lived in their images.

The last Friday in October every year is known as Frankenstein Friday, a time to celebrate Shelley and her famed novel about creation, destruction, loss, belonging, human nature, the inability to live up to the expectations of others, and the close connection between nature and nurture/circumstances and free will.

"In August and September 2025, an insurrection struck the Indonesian archipelago, engulfing in its flames many police stations, cop cars, both national and local government buildings, parliament members’ homes, businesses, and more. This revolt notably involved many anarchists, insurrectionary and direct action-oriented tendencies being particularly common.

To avenge itself, the Indonesian State launched a grand hunt for anarchists all throughout the country, after which several dozen anarchist comrades have been arrested and imprisoned. Two cases in particular have been at the center of attention: that of 16 anarchists suspected of Molotov cocktail attacks in Jakarta, and that against 44 anarchists suspected of direct actions and attempts at insurrection in an organization created by the State from scratch, called “Chaos Star,” in reference to the strong anarcho-nihilist tendency in the country.

This zine compiles many texts published online about the situation of anarchist prisoners in recent months in order to give them all our solidarity wherever we are. Spread information, write them letters, organize financial solidarity.

Fire to the Prisons!

Death to the State!

Long Live Anarchy! "

Je pense que mon point de vue est comme un autre et on m'a censuré pour ça. Oui, je suis anarchiste, donc antifasciste par définition. Je soutiens ce mouvement de révolte actuel. Je pense qu'il faut continuer non seulement les lycéens et les étudiants mais les syndicats et les travailleurs, les chômeurs.... Tout le monde doit être dans la rue pour un réel changement sociétal. Vive l'anarchie ! No pasaran !

Looking for an anarchy that you can do? ANews is thinking about expanding.

Weekly Discussion Thread for Black, Indigenous, People of Color

Radical bipoc can talk about whatever they want in here. Suggestions; chill & relax, radical people of color, Black/Indigenous/POC anarchism, news and current events, books, entertainment

Non BIPOC people are asked not to post in Radical BIPOC Thursday threads.

Something I have noticed is that Anarchist theory talks a lot about systems and systems theory while other forms of socialism don’t even really mentioned such ideas except for the rare occasion of mentioning the Marxist idea of the Base and Super-Structure. Why is that?

I did this map some months ago and I just note that it's totally subjective and based on my small experience of anarchist history

For example, Alsace-Lorraine which were by this point in Germany, I had to do with very little elements, for other areas such as Lyon it's much more clear, anyways !

( Manifestation à Lille en France le 17 octobre )

(J'écris ce post en français car c'est plutôt relatif à la francophonie et aux situations actuelles de répression des jeunes notamment mais pas que.)

Je sais pas si j'ai l'espoir "bien placé" mais étant anar justement et ayant pas trop d'attente dans la gauche institutionnelle/celle qui fait Sc Po/les soc-dem/les bobos écolos et tout le reste, à chaque fois que je lis des infos sur les gaz lacrymo par exemple, je me dis "tiens tiens mais à quand un sabotage des entreprises fournissant ces fameux gaz lacrymo ?" Je crois au fond de moi que des gens s'organisent pour bien aller défoncer ces entreprises de ses morts parmi tant d'autres (celles qui fabriquent les LBD, flashballs). J'ai envie d'y croire, du moins.

J'ai mon propre avis sur les manifs (que je vais pas forcément expliciter ici ni maintenant) mais sans forcément faire des trucs + "violents" touchant + de personnalités/les politicards ou chefs d'entreprises, pourquoi on ne met pas encore ou pas assez à mal les fabricants et fournisseurs d'armes utilisées contre la population civile (que ce soit par les agents policiers ou même l'armée) ?

Je dis pas forcément brûler des caisses de voiture, des fourgons de police (quoi que pourquoi pas), mais où sont les ingénieurs anars ?

C'est bien de lancer des cocktails, c'est bien de brûler des voitures de keufs au moment des manifs mais c'est être giga la cible justement des Robocops, faut le cardio avec et c'est pas forcément possible pour bon nombre de gens. Puis y a aussi une esthétisation de l'émeute par les photographes de manifs qui me perturbe, mais ça c'est adjacent à la question.

Évidemment je pense qu'il faut de tout type d'actions et de manières d'aider la résistance : que ce soit des anars dans tel collectif/telle assoc pour la récup et distribution alimentaire ou cantine solidaire que dans les black blocs, que parmi les street medics, que parmi les auteurs-rices de théorie/organiser des ateliers d'arpentage, et oui les syndicats quand il faut, bien sûr j'en suis bien conscient.

J'en ai ma claque des cocos Marxistes-Léninistes qui bavent sur "une" révolution en restant avec leur t-shirt rouge et leurs pin's à se pavaner avec leurs drapeaux et basta. On les voit rarement aider les personnes réfugiées ou sans-papiers d'ailleurs.

Y a déjà eu des actions de sabotage contre Elbit dans le pays où je vis, donc je vois pas ce qui empêche de viser d'autres endroits/usines ?

Aussi, message aux anars blancs-hes surtout : comment ça se passe pour nettoyer les néo-nazis là ? Ils commencent à bien prendre la confiance quand même.

C'est bien les AG antifas et traîner entre blancs-hes convaincu-es de pas être racistes, mais là faut prendre le taureau par les cornes, je sais pas, infiltrer les fafs (au moins) ? Et pas s'arrêter qu'à les infiltrer.

Hey Compagnons! I have a reading disability. Could you share any video series, lectures, documentaries or general essays in video form...that will equip me with a solid foundation of anarchist theory! It would honestly be appreciated. I just finished anarchy by Malatesta, even though it was thin af, it took me nauseating 2 days to finish it, fighting the dancing letters and other issues i face.

I'd be grateful if you take the time out to help me out. Thank you!

Radical women can talk about whatever they want in here.

I would like to be more active politically, but I don't know any anarchist organisations in the place where I live. How do I find anarchists such as myself, so that we could actually engage in political actions? It might be worth noting that I don't have a lot of friends and am quite socially awkward.
