Squat2Own is an creative new company that is shaking things up in Richmond, Virginia. Their innovative business model turns empty houses into livable spaces suitable for families or individuals. Check out their website to get in touch with an agent.

“Signs have been showing up on foreclosed properties around Richmond recently, advertising that the houses are available for free to anyone who needs a home. Though they look like ordinary real estate signs at first glance, they’re actually the work of “Squat 2 Own Realty”, a group of activists who are helping people take over vacant foreclosed houses without permission from the banks.”

Speaking of squats…

In Squats!

Comrade.

Yuck!

Personally, I don’t think “nationalist anarchist” even makes sense as a term. Nonetheless, there is a group in the Bay Area that claims this is their ideology (see National Anarchism on wikipedia). You have to significantly distort anarchism to think you can hold nationalist view in parallel with your anarchist principles. Anarchism seeks a stateless society, so nationalism becomes meaningless in that worldview. Similarly, I think “national socialism”–the Nazi propaganda term for their regime–is a misnomer. A core value of socialism and anarchism is challenging the nation-state model and its perverted ideology, nationalism.

To quote Ms Goldman,

“‘Patriotism, sir, is the last resort of scoundrels,’ said Dr. Samuel Johnson. Leo Tolstoy, the greatest anti-patriot of our time, defines patriotism as the principle that will justify the training of wholesale murderers; a trade that requires better equipment in the exercise of man-killing than the making of such necessities as shoes, clothing, and houses; a trade that guarantees better returns and greater glory than that of the honest workingman.”

So LulzSec hacked cia.gov. That’s all.

“If I can’t lol, I don’t want your revolution!”

Spotted this graffiti only a block from the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair:

I’m sure the organizers are happy you came, ChiChi.

Because they’re against capitalism.

They don’t have any rulers!
