HANOS, stop met Foie gras

HANOS, Amsterdam, vrijdag 9 januari om 14:30 CET

De strijd tegen foie gras in Nederland is pas net begonnen.

Na het succes waarbij inmiddels zo’n 70-100 restaurants foie gras van de kaart hebben gegooid, verschuift onze focus. Niet enkel restaurants zijn een target. Want zolang de groothandel blijft leveren, blijft dierenleed winstgevend.

Daarom richten we ons nu ook op HANOS.

Foie gras is geen delicatesse, het is structureel dierenleed. Dwangvoer, kapotte levers, pure uitbuiting. En dat weet de groothandel ook!

Dat pikken we niet.

Deze actie is een volgende stap in het Nederland foie gras vrij maken. Restaurants zijn aangesproken, leveranciers zijn nu ook aan de beurt. Zonder afzetmarkt geen marteling. Zo simpel is het.

Zorg dat je erbij bent. Laat zien dat dit geen hype was, geen tijdelijk gedoe, maar een beweging die doorpakt. Samen maken we de foie gras industrie kapot. Samen maken we duidelijk dat winst nooit boven dierenlevens staat.

Dit stopt niet. Dit escaleert. Tot foie gras definitief verdwijnt.

Kom. Sta op. Wees zichtbaar.

The foundational myth of the state is its necessity. It posits itself as the sole entity capable of imposing order upon a chaotic humanity, the neutral arbiter of conflicts, and the guarantor of security. This is a lie. The state is not a neutral arbiter; it is the historical product of propertied classes consolidating their power, a mechanism born to protect accumulation and enforce hierarchy. Its very DNA is coded with domination. Therefore, it cannot be reformed to serve the poor, the marginalized, or the ecosystem. It must be abolished. This is the first, non-negotiable premise of a free society.

We now confront a second, undeniable premise. The planetary system is terminally ill. The project of industrial civilization, built upon the twin engines of state power and capital accumulation, has achieved its logical conclusion: the active destabilization of the biospheric conditions that support complex life. The science is settled. We are not awaiting collapse; we are living within its protracted, uneven, and irreversible unfolding. The choice is no longer between a sustainable future and an unsustainable one. The choice is now about how we conduct ourselves in the face of a terminal diagnosis.

This reality has given rise to a pervasive nihilism, a philosophy that rightly identifies the absurdity of our situation but draws a fatalistic conclusion. It suggests that because the large scale systems are doomed and no cosmic meaning awaits us, all action is futile. This perspective advocates for a posture of acceptance, a "planetary hospice" where the only virtue is to meet the end with clear eyed resignation, free from the "foolishness" of hope or struggle. While understandable, this position represents a profound philosophical and practical failure. It mistakes the absence of inherent meaning for a prohibition against creating meaning. It misidentifies the collapse of a civilization with the end of all value.

If the universe is indeed silent and offers us no script, then we are presented with the most radical freedom imaginable. We are unshackled from any predetermined purpose. In this void, we are compelled to become the authors of our own values. The question is not whether meaning exists, but what meaning we will choose to build from the raw materials of our existence and our relationships. To choose inaction and passive acceptance is itself a value choice, one that implicitly sides with the forces of entropy and domination. It is a choice to let the world end on the terms of its abusers.

Anarchism provides the antithesis to this nihilistic acquiescence. It is not a blueprint for a future utopia to be achieved after a revolution. It is a praxis of dignity for the present moment. It is the active, conscious creation of meaning through direct action, mutual aid, and solidarity. When we practice collective care, when we organize to meet our own needs and the needs of our communities outside the logic of state and capital, we are not merely preparing for a new world. We are building and inhabiting that new world in the shell of the old, right now, under the shadow of the end.

This is not foolish. It is a defiant, pragmatic realism. The scale of the crisis means that traditional political solutions, which operate through centralized power, are not only inadequate but are often active contributors to the problem. Our strength lies in decentralization, in resilience, in the ability to adapt and care for one another when the monolithic systems fail, as they inevitably will. Abolishing the state is not a distant goal; it is the process of rendering it obsolete by building the capacity for self organization and collective self defense. Dismantling hierarchy is the process of learning to relate to one another as equals in a shared struggle.

The meaning we create is not deferred to a future salvation. It is immanent in the act itself. The meaning is in the food shared, the knowledge liberated, the land defended, the community protected. It is in the solidarity that says, "You will not face this alone." This praxis is our dignity. It is the conscious decision to stare into the abyss and not be paralyzed, but to be galvanized into building pockets of freedom and compassion.

anarchism is the philosophical and practical commitment to creating meaning through the abolition of power and the cultivation of life. The collapse of the old world is not our end. It is the barren ground from which we choose to grow a final, defiant garden of mutual aid, its value derived not from its permanence, but from the sheer fact that we chose to plant it together.

Oproep tot eco-anarchoblok op de klimaatmars

Malieveld, Den Haag, zondag 26 oktober om 13:00 CET

26 oktober is de landelijke klimaatmars in Den Haag. Zoals elk jaar wordt er hard geroepen tot actie om de natuur te beschermen, maar toch gebeurd er elk jaar weer niks. De politiek gaat ons daar niet bij helpen; we moeten het zelf doen!

Laat een radicaal klimaat geluid horen, sluit je aan bij het ecoanarchistisch blok van Wandelclub030 en Active for Justice! Voor totale bevrijding en tegen elke vorm van onderdrukking!

Zien we je daar?

After Hurricane Helene, we promised ourselves that we wouldn't go through another disaster without a battery backup for our rooftop solar. Thanks to the folks at Footprint Project, we're on track to install 20kWh of battery capacity for our building this month!

So now want to pay it forward. On Thursday, October 9th, we'll be donating net proceeds from all sales in-store and online to the Feral Crust Infoshop in Davao, Philippines. This longstanding eco-anarchist project is a living experiment based on principles of mutual aid, cooperation and ecology. So buy a book (or two) and the donated sale will help to fund upgrades to Feral Crust's off-grid electrical infrastructure and rainwater harvesting systems!

Food Autonomy Festival 2025

Het Groene Veld / ADM Noord, Amsterdam, Sunday, June 15 at 02:00 PM GMT+2

The Food Autonomy Festival (FAF) is happening again this year on Sunday the 15th of June! If you have been part of previous FAFs, you may be wondering why this year’s edition is only a one-day event. In previous years, we felt that there was not enough time for organisers and groups in the food autonomy movements to interact and learn together. This is why we will dedicate the Friday and Saturday of the FAF to closed sessions focused on collective strategising and knowledge-sharing between groups within the movement. The Sunday however will be open to everyone interested in activism and food autonomy. Join us and get to know the movement through workshops, performances, food and more! In other words: eat well, dig deep and dance!
