Anyone come across these before? Are they random nutters or some sort of split from the IWW?

A lone nutter in Norway.

Yeah I just saw the main site, the photos are priceless.

Although they do have 600 affiliated members in Mauritius through the Artisan's and Worker's Union!

I've been spammed by these buffs for many years. I think they are more than one person. A funny episode was when they critized the swedish anarchist magazine Brand and claimed that they did not have the right to the name, etc. etc...

Random ramblings and accusations against the anarchist movement in sweden can be found on this page: http://www.anarchy.no/afis.html

There is two of them, as my sources say. And both of them are, obviously, nuts.

Would they be the two in the above photo by any chance? They look totally sane to me.

The first one is actually one of them:

Most of the other people are just random anarchists who attended ANORG meetings in the early 80s.

I've asked to be taken off his spam list and he sent back a condescending reply calling me a closet Marxist-Leninist and an "ochlarchist" (??) who could learn something from his crazy ramblings. Now he sends me two copies of everything he publishes. Grrrr.

To get off his mailing list, just threaten to send a complaint to his internet provider.

Presumably a reference to ochlocracy meaning mob rule

Yeah. Our union was also labeled ochlarchist by him, and we got "brown card" expelling us from the anarchist movement. smile

just set your email client to junk his mail. Or if you use yahoo or hotmail, tell it that his mail is spam. Worked a treat for me.

Fagerhus seems to be an ... interesting person.

He has wrote a long text about the history of syndicalism and anarchis in Norway. It was quite interesting and not badly written. Of course his other activities cast a shadow of doubt on the reliability of his information - ut the text actually seems balanced - until the 60's, but syndicalism and anarchism had stopped playing an important role in the norwegian society after the 30's...

Anyhow I started translating it a couple of years ago, maybe it is worth to go back to the text and try to verify against independent sources. I have not found much information on this movement in either english (or swedish, my native language)

Perhaps there is some norwegian on this forum who could comment on the text?

If anyone has the chance to knock the shite out of this guy and doesnt do it you're getting a brown card from me.

I haven't read the whole thing, but it seems pretty decent except for the parts about ANORG.

So did we. After he refused to end spamming us we blacklisted him and never heard something again. As always with those gits, the problem will one day solve biologically wink
