Issue 9 of the anarchist magazine Avalanche is now available to download as a free PDF.
Anarchists always appropriated means to spread anti-authoritarian ideas and struggles to feed the dialogue and subversive action. It is in this sense that this publication is also intended as a tool, more precisely that of providing a space to nourish the international debate between anarchists. That is why these particular pages create space for struggles that spring from anarchist activities; autonomous, direct and self-organized struggles; struggles that go towards the destruction of power in all its forms; struggles happening today, yesterday or that are announcing itself.

This authority believing herd mentality, that little by little creates a void in place of our hearts and minds, which tries to make it impossible to imagine something beyond the existing desolation and which wants to push
the logic of war also into our struggles. Through raising our savagery and lust for life we break through the prevailing militarism, the uniformization and advance
of technology in society: by chasing the uniforms out of the streets and squares, by appropriating the city, by destroying its cables and control instruments, by carrying
the conflict with the existent into the minds, into the hearts and in front of the doors of our enemies and bringing our projections and projects to life through the
solidarity and tenderness amongst the struggles and those who struggle.
So that the fear changes sides!"
