ONWARD vol. 3 iss. 2 OUT NOW! The Fall issue of ONWARD is out now! This issue features a Sept. 11 anniversary statement by the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, information on the Plan Pueblo Panama and on the US PATRIOT Act, and news from around the world! We devote much space to anarchist and other radical organizations, highlight two new anti-authoritarian (con)federations in North America and several existing groups: an important analysis of the Challenging White Supremacy workshop in San Francisco; a special look at Argentina's popular rebellion, and a look at the problems and prospects of broad-based movement building in Ontario.

There is also a special prison focus this issue, with an analysis of the Anarchist Black Cross Network conference, a history of the Anarchist Black Cross, and an article from a prisoner on prison solidarity.

The centerfold, Organizing for a Classless Society, features a special interview with activist and author Max Elbuam on lessons from the 1970s New Communist Movement. (The full text of this interview is available from our website.) The centerfold also features two other strategic articles on anti-capitalist analysis and organizing.

As always, the opinion and theory sections feature the latest in anarchist strategy and thinking. In addition to the article below by ONWARD co-editor Rob Augman, Fighting to Win: Sufficient Strategies for Moving Forward, this issue features articles on anti-racist organizing, the need for having a sense of humor in our work and lives, and on crossing and destroying literal and metaphoric borders. The letters section includes lively debate on important movement topics from primitivism to fascism to democratic socialism.

Anarchism is the name given to a principle or theory of life and conduct under which society is conceived without government ­ harmony in such a society being obtained, not by submission to law, or by obedience to any authority, but by free agreements concluded between the various groups, territorial and professional, freely constituted for the sake of production and consumption, as also for the satisfaction of the infinite variety of needs and aspirations of a civilized being. In a society developed on these lines, the voluntary associations which already now begin to cover all the fields of human activity would take a still greater extension so as to substitute themselves for the State in all its functions. They would represent an interwoven network, composed of an infinite variety of groups and federations of all sizes and degrees, local, regional, national and international ­ temporary or more or less permanent ­ for all possible purposes: production, consumption and exchange, communications, sanitary arrangements, education, mutual protection, defense of the territory, and so on; and, on the other side, for the satisfaction of an ever-increasing number of scientific, artistic, literary and sociable needs. Moreover, such a society would represent nothing immutable. On the contrary ­ as is seen in organic life at large ­ harmony would (it is contended) result from an ever-changing adjustment and readjustment of equilibrium between the multitudes of forces and influences, and this adjustment would be the easier to obtain as none of the forces would enjoy a special protection from the State.” -Peter Kropotkin
