What's It All About, Comrade?
Revolutionary actions are directed against the system as a whole - for its overthrow. This pre-supposes a general disruption of society which escapes political control.

Monsieur Dupont's New Year Message
Part One
To get over the wall, we first have to get to the wall
Reading your article about five years of Red and Black Notes has made us think about the paucity of interesting literature these days in Britain.
