  • Overview: Toronto G20 Legal Fallout 3 Sep 2010 | 1:00 pm CrimethInc. Far East Blog

    - What kind of world do the G20 leaders want to create? They showed us a sneak preview at the G20 summit in Toronto last June: a billion-dollar security budget, 20,000 security personnel, secret laws, pre-dawn house raids, indiscriminate attacks with batons, tear gas, and rubber bullets. Over 1100 people were arrested, most of whom [...]

  • Fighting in the New Terrain 23 Aug 2010 | 1:03 pm CrimethInc. Far East Blog

    - Ten years ago we published Days of War, Nights of Love, one of the most influential anarchist books of the turn of the century. Tremendous technological and cultural shifts have occurred since then. On reflection, it seems that many of the incidental changes radicals were calling for have taken place, but none of the [...]

  • Non-English CrimethInc. Projects 18 Aug 2010 | 1:25 pm CrimethInc. Far East Blog

    Over the past decade, CrimethInc. texts have appeared in over two dozen languages, both as translations and original texts. Unfortunately, no one has done a thorough job of archiving these or maintaining contacts between different groups. We’d like to change that, but we need help. If you’d like to assist with such an archive or [...]

  • Against Ideology? 11 Aug 2010 | 10:42 am CrimethInc. Far East Blog

    - While religious fundamentalism is still a powerful force, ideology seems to be on the wane as a motor of secular revolutionary activity. The days are long past when groups like the Communist Party could command millions of adherents worldwide. Should anarchists celebrate this decline, positioning ourselves atop the crashing wave of history? Is ideology [...]

  • What Are You Doing This August? 6 Aug 2010 | 8:02 pm CrimethInc. Far East Blog

    - In early June, we announced our proposal for a month of anarchist outreach and visibility actions. Within weeks we received announcements of localized event schedules across the US and beyond. Tours are currently criss-crossing the country; dozens of Really Really Free Markets [RRFM] will assemble; convergences and reading groups will open their doors. This [...]

  • The Age of Conspiracy Charges 27 Jul 2010 | 6:31 pm CrimethInc. Far East Blog

    - Looking back over the past decade, it appears that North American law enforcement agencies are increasingly utilizing conspiracy charges to target anarchists and other radicals. In hopes of countering this, we’ve composed an in-depth report reviewing recent conspiracy cases and analyzing what we can do to discourage the state from pursuing this strategy of [...]

  • New Poster: THE POLICE 9 Jul 2010 | 1:33 pm CrimethInc. Far East Blog

    In heartbreak and rage over the murder of Oscar Grant and the institutionalized hypocrisy of a system that kills black men by the dozen while excusing the killings as accidents, we present this poster. We hope it will appear on telephone polls alongside burning police stations all around the US and the world. -- Color [...]

Do you want to be a part of a world of sleeping people?

Welcome to CrimethInc Far South, a messy collective of anarchist activists, radical autonomists, peoples' poets and surrealist saboteurs of the banal complacency of everyday life.

Positioned against the tyranny of the modern world, where desire is normalised into consumption and beauty is crushed underfoot as fodder for the empty cycles of grey hegemonists, our aim is wakefulness. Our enemy is dreamless sleep.


Revolutions happen to prevent the revolutionary becoming of all people in all places.

We don't want you to join our revolution. Certainly, we think revolution is necessary; mass revolt against the most insidious loci of power, capitalism and the state, but so too must we each rise up against the fascisms that exist in our own minds and hearts, igniting a million tiny revolutions with bombs not just of gunpowder but also of truth and beauty.

If we struggle long and hard enough against all the oppression in the world and in our heads, and if we do it joyously, together, then one day soon we may reach that secret place that continues to call us home. Already, we can catch glimpses of it - in the whistled tune of a crazy homeless drunk, in a hand-painted poster on the back wall of a public toilet, or tied with pink ribbon to a brick as it travels in slow motion across a barricade and through the window of a bank.


Who do you want us to be?

If you're cynical enough, if your hope has been distorted into bitter ironic distance, then perhaps this seems a bit jejune or corny. You may already even have a picture in your head of who we are; angsty middle-class youth with authority issues and a penchant for contrariness for its own sake. But we are more. We are a 15-year old sweatshop worker hiding poetry in the pockets of jeans and we are a group of poor children in the Congo playing soccer into the twilight with a ball held together by only the fiercest love. We are tired IT professionals secretly amassing bookmarks that have nothing to do with our jobs. We sleep in the branches of trees and we deliver manifestos from storm drains and office blocks.

We are the last of the silverback mountain gorillas and we are learning to fight back!


Fall in love.

So what are you waiting for? Come celebrate revolution with us. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. The more we stand together, the higher the water rises to wash away the dirt and grime and vacant nothingness on the walls of this illusion to reveal the message beneath.

Do you remember this message you hid?

Do you want to be a part of a world of sleeping people?
