From thoughts to action - 2008 ESFAN Paper

We are proud to present From Thoughts To Action – a tabloid
paper compiling articles of relevance both to the European Social
Forum in Malmö but also independently of any certain time and
place. We have tried to cover as much as possible of the whole span
of struggles taking place in today’s Europe, each different and separated
from the next, yet connected. The texts address questions
that are raised at seminars, workshops and actions during the ESF
as well as in future mobilizations and struggles.

The paper is brought to you by:

BRAND
Brand is an anarchist magazine
existing from 1898 up to today.
The editorial collective helps to write, collect and publicise texts
from activists who participate in social struggles worldwide, to
show a different side than that which so often is presented to us.
We work in solidarity with struggles that arise from below by the
people affected, whatever means used. Our liberation must be by
our own hands.

DIREKT AKTION
Direkt Aktion (translates to Direct
Action) is a 10-year old Swedish revolutionary socialist youth
magazine. In it you can read about student struggles, antifascism,
music, feminism and many other important, interesting subjects.
Direkt Aktion contains both longer theoretical articles, interviews,
chronicles, reviews, comics and wallpapers. Direkt Aktion is published
by the Syndicalist Youth Federation (SUF) and is aimed
towards all young people interested in or involved in the workers’
movement and/or other revolutionary movements.

EMBRYO
Embryo is a small collective with
great ambitions: to be an anarchist
think tank or that annoying kid in class pointing out that things
aren’t always what they seem. Society, people and power are far
more complex than that. We publish reflections, discussions and
news in our paper zine and on our webpage anarkisterna.com. So
far, texts are mainly written in Swedish, now there is an English
blog running, too.

MOTKRAFT
Motkraft.net is an independent
newsportal for the extraparliamentary
left in Sweden. Motkraft tries to break down the divide
between action and information, and to be an organizative part of
radical campaigns. In rightwing media the site has been described
as ”the weatherforecasters of riots”, because of ongoing liveupdates
(”swarm communication”) from political manifestations.

YELAH
Yelah.net is a free leftjournal existing on the internet
since 1994. We want to be an alternative to the
commercial media and broaden the discussion about the global
resistence against state, capital and oppressing structures and
give a libertarian socialist perspective on society and ”reality”. The
revolution will not be televised- but Yelah will write about it.
