BLACK FLAG: Issue 230: Late 2009

Price: £3.00
Number of pages: 
40
Introductory blurb: 

Black Flag is for a social system based on mutual aid and voluntary co-operation -- against state control and all forms of government and economic repression. To establish a share in the general prosperity for all -- the breaking down of racial, religious, national and sex barriers -- and to fight for the life of one world. The Black Flag has been a worldwide symbol for anarchism since the 1880s. It is at base a representive of the negation of all oppresive structures.
