THE BOTTLED WASP POCKET DIARY 2015
Welcome to the 2015 Bottled Wasp Pocket Diary, a fundraising
project in aid of the Anarchist Black Cross network and other
groups involved in the prisoner support arena. The aim of the
project is to create a self-sustaining template for production
that will feature different areas of radical political history and
practice each year, and that will hopefully be taken on by a dif-
ferent group from a rotating network of activists.
Last year’s edition of the Wasp, with its coverage of the hidden
history of the contributions of anarchists and other radicals to
both the avant-garde and mainstream arts around the world,
with its cover by London street artist Stik, proved something of
a success. So, we hope to do even better this year with this anti-
fascist history edition, which features numerous individuals and
collective actions and events from across the whole history of
the resistance to ultra-nationalism, fascism and Nazism; wher-
ever and when ever it has raised its ugly head.
If you enjoy the diary, we hope that you will help spread the
news far and wide and help make the Bottled Wasp a success
in future years.
“La cosa dannosa del fascismo è che induce gli imbecilli a cred-
ersi molto furbi. Quanto più uno è idiota tanto più il fascismo lo
fa sentire orgoglioso di sé.” [What is harmful about fascism is
that it causes fools to believe they’re very smart. The more he
is an idiot , the more fascism makes him feel proud of himself.]
- Osvaldo Soriano in ‘Fútbol’ (1998).
