325 : Anti-Prison / Insurrection / Autonomy latest issue (#2) or #1, $3 suggested donation
"This zine is the collaboration of a range of people across Europe coming together in the hope of opposing the Bosses, and radically living our dreams of a better future, and not waiting for it, and never giving up." While most of the information presented in this journal comes from Europe, but 325 ought to be a valuable resource for those in struggle anywhere.

325 #2 (April 2005) contains information and perspectives on the fight-back against the state and its repressive projects - prisons, surveillance programs, "temporary stay center" concentration camps for immigrants, and other elements of social control. The new issue continues the high standard of the debut issue, and is recommended.

325 #1 (August 2004) contains plenty of information on struggles against prison, as well as on the technology of repression, autonomous social spaces and resistance to psychiatric control.

Aufheben, $5
Aufheben is an autonomous communist journal from the UK. "Our influences included the Italian autonomia movement of 1969-77, the situationists, and others who took Marx's work as a basic starting point and used it to develop the communist project beyond the anti-proletarian dogmatisms of Leninism (in all its varieties) and to reflect the current state of the class struggle. We also recognized the moment of truth in versions of class struggle anarchism, the German and Italian lefts and other tendencies. In developing proletarian theory we needed to go beyond all these past movements at the same time as we developed them - just as they had done with previous revolutionary movements."

Aufheben #13 features writing on "The Housing Question," and a lengthy review of Leopoldina Fortunati's The Arcane of Reproduction that poses broader questions about the Autonomist Marxist tradition. #13 also includes a reply from the French group Théorie Communiste to debates in previous issues.
