We will be putting more of this information out so watch this spot... ANARCHIST OPPOSITION IN THE NEW YUGOSLAVIA For about five months now several Serbian cities have seen the emmergence of young people turning to anarchist traditions of cultural and social action. In December last year the town of Smedereska Palanka saw the formation of CRNI GAVRAN (Black Raven) whose appeal we publish below. January this year saw the TORNADO group being formed in Smederevo. More groups are being formed in Luciani, Kovin, Sombor and even Belgrade. These groups are in a process of self-education and self-preparation. They could use our help... We are a group of young libertarian persons. Our group was constituted in December 93 with the aim of showing people an alternative way of life in authentic liberty. CRNI GAVRAN is a social subject: it is neither a party nor an organisation. We have no fixed programme to tell the people what to do and how to behave because we are not an authoritarian organisation. We aim to strengthen human aspirations to self-organisation, to help people to organise as social registers. Modus operandi: we are firmly opposed to any form of violence. To us, the state is the origin of violence, and violence cannot be defeated by violence. We are aware that there is no basis as yet for a social revolt leading to a free life, with no government and no authority. Therefore our activity will be limited for the present time to information and education. Love is our weapon! Knowledge is our instrument! How to help us In the first place we badly need anarchist litterature. During 45 years of Marxist Communist domination, no attention has been given to anarchism. We need books that we can translate, print and sell or distribute to the people, including books of any anarchist theorist who wishes his work to be published in these areas. We have decided to print our own paper. At first it will be in English, with articles on the situation in Yugoslavia; we would be happy to publish it monthly. First thing, we need distributors all the world over prepared to help us. You can help us by writing support letters, to let us know that we are not alone and that what we are doing is not wrong. You can help by telling us your ideas and experiences, and also criticising us when we write anything 'silly'.
