What is There?

One has to look at is there and what is not.
Forums like the Anarchist Black Cat Forum, newsgroups as linked on the Anarchists FAQ and links such as what's collected on ANARCHY & CHAOS all have the same issue. They don't exist anymore. While there are several mirrors of anarchist sites and their main webpages, when you get to the subsections the likelhihood that something was archived properly, let alone at all is an uphill battle. Discussions of organizing, personal opinions, news collectivization and the like are now lost to time if not excplicitly saved onto something like the wayback machine.

Luckily, though this sounds like a daunting issue, there are still many heavily documented sites, even if every link doesn't work.

These two sites I'm discussing were brought up frequently in discussions of the farther reaching impacts of the movement in the 2000s to collectivize. As organizations at the time were growing in numbers, the internet was used as a new way to reach people from America and beyond, providing a network of anarchist groups for people to be introduced to, to collaborate together, and be breeding grounds for discussion and political action.

A-Info

This is an anarchist new source which has been operating from 1995 until today. It is democratically managed and organized, with a number of languages and nationalities represented, because as they say, " workers have no country but the world as a whole...." (src)

It not only shows what anarchists find important at any given time period, but also how they were perceived to a larger audience. Take this from an anti-fascist newsgroup from March 1998, where a particularly gruesome murder was blamed on Satanism, linking back into the anarchist groups in the area. Given the satanic panic, originating from the 80s was still dominating popular thought in the form of reactionary politics. This affected the movement as it was seen as directly going against the grain of society and trying to upend it. While this may be true, it was seen as specifically satanic.
Beyond perception issues, they also had trouble even being noticed in the first place. "None of the local media outlets covered the protest. It wasn't mentioned on any of the local TV news and there was nothing about it in the Washington Post. The protest was much larger (5000) than the demo against U.S. agression in Iraq (3000), which was held in February in the same location."(src)

The site only had a few requirements in order for someone to apply to start helping with writing articles and making decisions:
1. I describe myself as an anarchist (or an anti-state socialist sympathetic to anarchism) and actively promote a classless libertarian society.
2. I subscribe to libertarian principles of non-authoritarian self- governance, free association and mutual aid. I don't promote ideas or activities that are incompatible with anarchism and I don't behave in an authoritarian manner.
3. I agree that any work which I do within the context of the project, whether on -org, -trans, or -www or any other part of it, will become communally owned/operated. (That is, if I decide to leave I will not attempt to interfere with the A-Infos project's continued use of the work I contributed.)
4. In my work on the a-infos project,I agree to abide by the collective decisions. I know that I can participate in the creation and amendment of these decisions in accordance with the democratic decision making process established by by the collective - using the a-infos-org communication channel.

Running the site was similar in practice to what these members wanted– communally run by ideologically similar people. Private ownership, especially in the context of intellectual property was rejected.

Anarchist Black Cat & Anarkismo

You can find union organizing, news on violence internationally, general anarchist news, providing links to other sites, theories and statements. Beginning in 2008, going down briefly 2012 and returning in 2014 for a while again. While most of these forum discussions are lost to time, we can presume what they cared about by the titles. "International General Strike", "protester in prison", "creating a commune". I found this site linked to many others as a main form of communication, where it seemingly covered English speaking countries.

You can find a wide range of topics among the different boards. Questions from beginners asking about where to start, discussions of how being an anarchist affects their family structure, intersecting identities within the movement such as critiques of gender, queer liberation and systems of racial oppression. I wanted to look further and be able to read the indiviudal posts. It seemed to be a fascinating crossover of life experiences and ideological values interacting with each other. There were event posts, many concentrated among the US, UK, Ireland and Canada. Action was condensed mostly to local affairs, making tangible change for individuals on the ground rather than soley working towards revolution. Reading groups of radical literature, book fairs, wage strikes all seek to better the lives and radicalize the average person.

Additional to this, Anarkismo is a multi language hub for Anarchism, reporting on stories and events around the world. Struggles in tandem with anarchist thought and specific anarchist action being written about is collected, in a more journalistic approach than the more casual forum environment. You can begin seeing a transformation of anarchism to fit other identity groups. While it may traditionally be a belief system that is anti heirarchy, it seems like things such as faith began finding its way into schools of thought nonetheless.
Progressive issues such as abortion, authoritative rule, war recruitment and economic crisis are all reported on here, but with a unique ideological lean not found on traditional news sources. Anarchist and political movements in Chile and Brazil are common to see, as well as Greece and Italy. Everywhere has their own manifesto, and interpretation of how to use anarchism within their own structures of oppression.
