~~~~~~~~~~~~~ notes from the distroist ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
this zine is a collection of reportbacks and communiques from anarchafeminists, trans/queer anarchists, and insurrectional militants, roughly spanning the years of 2008-2012. for a collection of communiques that’s almost two decades old now, its still incredibly relevant. my favorite communiques (although they’re all quite good) are ‘We’ll Show You Crazy Bitches” parts I & II, and "The Rejection of the Identity of Victimization Through Cracking a Nazi's Skull." they have a riot in one, beat the fuck out of a rapist in the other, and send six nazis to the hospital in the third!! its cool as hell!!!! we love autonomous community defense!!!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ from the zine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"If the Nazis call us bitch ass faggots, they might not be that far off the mark. But if they conflate those slurs with weakness, the six hospital visits they faced would prove otherwise."
