Anarchist News gives a quick anarchist view on current events as
well as some general education about anarchism. Their inspiration
originally came from the similar bulletins, called Scottish Anarchist
produced by the Scottish Federation of Anarchists. Typically from a
few hundred to a couple of thousand of each are produced.
It's an idea worth considering by anarchists elsewhere as it's a
way for even a very small group to produce and distribute something
that will at least introduce people to anarchism. There also a lot
more readable then the sort of leaflets most of the left dishes out.
Anyway there is only the text of a few of them here, they look much
nicer with graphics or photos but hopefully they will provide
inspiration for others.
