As anarchist I would have a lot of things to say about antifascism, mostly critics. I am not writing this text to do a theorical critics on antifascism, although I would like first to point out the mistake (to me) of focusing in only one particular thing, the same way as I think that antiracism or feminism, alone, are a mistake. Why, you would ask. Because, as anarchists we are well aware that the world is much more complex than a simple and easy manichean view on it, or on the society. There’s not only « monsters » and good people. Fascism is not the evil coming from the nowhere, but it’s the result of the society against wich anarchists are struggling since the 19th century, and before the coming of the European official fascism the world was not such a paradise, racism was existing, there were pogroms, women were badly treatened, children were working in mines, genocide was already part of the human history, workers were dying early because of a terrible exploitation, and anarchists were persecuted, sentenced to death or send to penal colonies in the Pacific islands or South America. Focusing only in fascism is a mistake because it’s build up a big evil, that doesn’t even have a lot of sense nowadays (what is fascism exactly again ? ), and to fight this big evil most of the time antifascists are acting threw the saying « the enemy of my enemy is my friend ». And this leads to a really problematic confusion among the antifascist movement (I am not talking about every antifascists of course, some know well where it stinks and with who they don’t want to hang out). But it also makes that you only see one single problem in this society, you only focuse on one thing, and erase all the rest.

With consumption spree sky rocketing this days it is easy to believe that capitalists invented Christmas just to sell you presents for you relatives and friends. However beyond consumption Christmas is still a strong religious holiday, with hundreds of millions of people participating in its celebration.

In this issue we would like to touch shortly the issue of religion and what approaches anarchists have to religion and faith in general. It is worth mentioning that in this material we will be talking not only about Christianity, but also Islam and Judaism – three quite common ones for the “western” world including Germany.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor might be well known to those who were around punk/post-rock scene for quite. The band that dissapearred in 2003 just to get back together in 2010 made a lot of noise not only because of their dark ambient/post-rock/experimental music, but also because of the attitude to the music itself. After many years around it is still sticking to the underground scene around the world, with shows differing from place to place.
