This is a picture showing a closed black fist raised in the air, clutching two flags, one black and one red. Above the fist a headline ripped from another document spells out "en dag fylld med samtal och föredrag om Especifismo". Below the fist the date "26th of february" followed by the line "13.00 at Nattsvart Verkstad" is written in a font created by the mujeres libres during the spanish revolution. On a superimposed sticker in the lower right corner the following text is printed: "The anarchist practice of building popular movements & revolutionary organization".

A day about Especifismo

On the 26th of february, starting at 13.00, Nattsvart Verkstad invites you all to a day full of talks and conversations on the ideas of Especifismo. Now, you might wonder what especifismo is:

Throughout the history of anarchism, we have struggled with the tension between making a full prefigurative revolution and fighting for the lives of those who get the worst positions in the prevailing power structure.

We also confront the problems of finding the revolutionary subject, avoiding vanguardism and liberal activism at the same time.

How do we build new power if we constantly petition the state and capital to do this work for us in the name of expedience? Do we organize in anarchist organizations or in broader organizations sharing methods of anarchistic organizing? Do we build parallel organizations like the FAI of revolutionary Spain?

Especifismo is an anarchist tradition originating in Latin America, closely related to the Platformism of Nestor Makhno’s peasant army and aspects of Italian Anarcho-communism, which addresses many of these questions. We invite you to join a day of presentations and discussions on this exciting part of the anarchist movement.

We are back! Vi är tillbaka!

Sen mitten av januari är vi igång i lokalerna igen!

Våra öppettider är som vanligt torsdagar mellan 18.00 och 20.00.

Vi inleder 2023 med att påbörja arbetet med HeaterBloc projektet! HeaterBloc är en sorts kamin som förbränner alcohol. Detta gör vi för att distribuera till utsatta som löper risk för förfrysning. Vintern är hård och samhällsklimatet blir kallare för varje år som går.

Steg 1 i arbetet är att skaffa materialet vi behöver. Hjälp oss skaffa material så vi kan skapa värmekällor! Vi behöver:

  • Skruvstäd
  • 6 mm diameter kopparrör
  • Värmetåliga glasburkar med metallock (syltburkar) (måste vara värmetåligt och härdat!!)
  • J-B Weld Epoxy (två komponents)
  • Bommulstyg för vekar
  • Lergodstallrikar med ca 14 cm platt yta i mitten
  • Galvaniserat hönsnät (utan plast/gummi på!)
  • Terrakottakrukor (max 14 cm diameter)
  • En riskkapitalists lever (deras hjärtan är för små)

Vi planerar just nu även en rad föreläsningar och workshops för våren. En av de redan bestämda ämnena vi kommer fokusera på är Especifismo. En anarkistisk praxis som är en form av plattformism. Especifismo dagen kommer vara den 26e februari! Vi komemr posta uppdatering kring det här när vi har spikat detaljerna.

Vi kommer även lite då och då dyka upp på Kafe44 med ett infobord och svara på frågor, knyta kontakter och värva stödmedlemmar.

Nos tomamos un breve descanso. Volveremos a la actividad en enero! Hasta entonces!

 

ANTIJOB – Antiwar and antiwork movement in Russia

Despite repressions in connection with the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the anti-authoritarian initiatives continue to operate in Russia. One of them is Antijob, an anti-authoritarian syndicalist project that carries out its work no matter the risks.

Since the start of the invasion, Antijob has spoken out against military aggression, forced conscription at work, and continues its fight for the labor against work.

On 8 December at 18:00, a representative of Antijob’s collective will share their experience of survival and fighting in a repressive state. You will also learn how to support the working-class movement in Russia.

Here is an interview made by crimethinc on the topic: https://sv.crimethinc.com/2022/03/21/antijob-the-russian-anarchist-labor-site-that-terrifies-the-bosses-an-interview

The Oktober Nattsvart Poster

This was the result after scrambling a bit to come up with a new poster. We went with something pretty traditional. Become ungovernable, y’all! If you click the image below you’ll get a printable version of the poster. The original format is A3 and color.
