Chimpanzees appear to have more hostile relationships between different groups. Even lethal aggression is not uncommon. This hostility has led researchers to assume that group conflict is an innate part of human nature.

Bonobos might be telling a different story about how social structures and communities have evolved over time.

“The ability to study how cooperation emerges in a species so closely related to humans challenges existing theory, or at least provides insights into the conditions that promote between-group cooperation over conflict,’ study co-author and German Primate Center evolutionary biologist Liran Samuni said in a statement.

The study looked at two groups of 31 wild adult bonobos in the Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve in the Democratic Republic of Congo over a period of two years. When the different groups of bonobos met up, they often fed, rested, and traveled together.

Pretty cool stuff

Luisa Capetillo, born on this day in 1879, was a Puerto Rican labor organizer, feminist, and Christian anarchist. Capetillo advocated for women's suffrage, was arrested for wearing pants in public, and helped raise the minimum wage.

As a labor activist, Capetillo organized workers throughout the United States, worked as a reporter for the FLT (Federacion Libre de Trabajadores), and traveled throughout Puerto Rico, educating and organizing women. Her hometown, Arecibo, became the most unionized area of the country.

Capetillo is considered to be one of Puerto Rico's first suffragists. In 1908, during the FLT convention, Capetillo asked the union to approve a policy for women's suffrage, insisting that all women should have the same right to vote as men. Along with other labor activists, she also helped pass a minimum wage law in the Puerto Rican Legislature.

Today, Capetillo is perhaps best known for being arrested for wearing pants in public, although the charges against her were later dropped.

In 2014, the Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico honored Capetillo, along with eleven other women, with plaques in the "La Plaza en Honor a la Mujer Puertorriqueña" (Plaza in Honor of Puerto Rican Women).

Remember you deserve to be idle. You should be able to do things for their own sake.

I'm really curious to know these guys' position on Palestinian statehood.

Francisco Ferrer i Guàrdia (1859 - 1909) was a radical anarchist educator who was the founder of the Modern School and introduced pedagogical rationalism in Spain. Belonging to a well-to-do peasant family with Catholic roots, his academic training was self-taught. In 1873 he settled in Barcelona, where he worked in a trading house and was infected by the political atmosphere that at that time animated the Catalan cenacles. His free-thinking ideas soon led him to anarchism, a trend in which he developed a great activity as an agitator and revolutionary. In addition, he was always characterized by the vehemence with which he spread his anticlerical messages.

In 1878 he began to work as a conductor for the railway lines that linked Barcelona with France, which allowed him to become the courier that ensured the contact between the Spanish revolutionaries and the exiled president of the republican government Manuel Ruiz Zorrilla. In 1886 he participated in the attempt of a republican pronunciamiento in Santa Coloma de Farners, carried out by Brigadier Villacampa.

After the failed attempt, Ferrer i Guàrdia was able to evade justice and go into exile in Paris, where he discovered his pedagogical vocation and developed a brilliant career at the head of the secular school that he himself had founded, gaining international prestige as a free-thinking pedagogue and enemy of the obscurantism that dominated religious education in Spain at that time.

At the same time, he was in contact with the most prominent anarchist leaders of the time, such as Elisée Reclus, Charles Malato and Piotr Kropotkin, and was amassing a not diminished fortune that allowed him to lead a hectic love life -one more of the facets of his curious personality-.

Simultaneously, he nurtured from Paris a facet of revolutionary activist that, although it was not well considered by the most orthodox sectors of Spanish anarchism, materialized in the financial support he gave to the cause. In 1901, after receiving the inheritance left to him upon the death of Ernestine Mennier -a wealthy elderly Parisian woman to whom he had given Spanish classes since 1894-, he returned to Barcelona, where he settled and gave birth to some of his most ambitious projects. Thus, he created the Escuela Moderna, an institution from which he began to sow his fruitful secular and anticlerical seed, founded a publishing house closely linked to his educational project and was editor of the anarchist newspaper La Huelga General, work with which he contributed significantly to the strengthening of Catalan anarchist syndicalism.

His risky financial operations -he even speculated in the stock market- were not well regarded by the revolutionary anarchist rank and file, although the profits obtained by Ferrer i Guàrdia were used to finance some important armed actions such as the attack in Paris against Alfonso XIII (1905) and the frustrated regicide carried out by Mateo Morral -teacher of the Modern School of Barcelona- in Madrid on April 12, 1906.

After Morral's suicide, and the subsequent police investigation, Francisco Ferrer was declared an accomplice to the attempted regicide and subsequently arrested, but was released in 1907, as no conclusive evidence was gathered against him. The Modern School, however, was closed by government order in 1907, which encouraged him to undertake a tour of several European cities, in which he embodied the victims of the furious Spanish ecclesiastical power, already marked as a dangerous man for the central government, for his increasingly radical attitude.

He moved to Paris to collaborate, in union with several relevant anarchists (Malato, Laissant, Carlos Albert and Eugenio Fourniére) in the foundation of the Ligue Internationale pour l'educatión rationale de l'enfance. The primary objective of the league was to continue in Europe the pedagogical work begun in Barcelona by Ferrer i Guàrdia, for which it promoted the creation of an International Committee, chaired by Ferrer i Guàrdia himself, as well as the founding of a magazine, La Escuela Laica, which was cut from the same ideological cloth as his previous publications. Due to his gradual proximity to the revolutionary syndicalist elements in Barcelona, he gradually distanced himself from Alejandro Lerroux, head of the radical republicans.

In June 1909, on his return to Spain, he decided to organize a general strike in defense of the prisoners of Alcalá del Valle; but the call did not have the desired effect when Antonio Maura granted amnesty to the condemned. When in July of that same year the one that later would be known as Tragic Week broke out, Ferrer i Guàrdia was immediately linked to it, and he was even held responsible for the violent events that took place during those days, although he had remained all the time at his estate in Montgat.

Arrested by the Somatenistas and tried by a military tribunal, he was found guilty of being the material author of the burning of the convent of Premiá, and condemned to capital punishment, without the procedural guarantees or the evidence brought against him leaving an unquestionable feeling that justice had been done. In the political class, terrified by the virulence of those who had arrogated to themselves the right to exercise repression, no voice was raised to cry out against the condemnation of the exalted anarchist, not even among the circles of the official left, where Ferrer was considered the most responsible for the acts of which he was accused.

However, the international left asked Maura's government to commute the sentence, a plea that was constantly ignored. The really painful part of the trial was the multiple false testimonies and full of rancor poured against him by his political enemies, who saw the opportunity to get rid of a political adversary. At the trial, all those who could prove his innocence were barred from appearing and testifying.

Thus, at dawn on October 13, 1909, Francisco Ferrer i Guàrdia was led to the scaffold and viciously shot in the name of a legality so dubious that it had not even been able to guarantee the cleanliness of his prosecution. It is said that he demanded that he not be blindfolded, and that, shortly before hearing the voice of "fire!", he addressed the soldiers in the firing squad, ordered them to aim well, reminded them that they were killing an innocent man, and exclaimed: "Viva la Escuela Moderna" (Long live the Modern School).

The shameful trial and subsequent execution of Ferrer i Guàrdia motivated an international campaign of rallies and mobilizations in all the main European capitals that caught the Spanish government by surprise, causing such a crisis that its prime minister, Antonio Maura, was forced to resign, which led to his definitive withdrawal from active politics.

Ferrer i Guàrdia left many books and articles, including titles such as L'espagnol practique (1895), Enseigné par la methode Ferrer (1895), Los pecados capitales (1900), Cuento ateo (1900) and Ferrer y la Huelga General (1909). After his death, the following posthumous publications were published: The Modern School (1910), Posthumous Explanation (1910) and Scope of Rationalist Teaching (1910).

If you know there was some product and buying obviously helps fund a sketchy lifestyle, you can compare that businesman's faulty morals and weigh it against corporate boardrooms. The guy selling stolen jewelry probably has more of a conscience than the company.

Economics is often about externalizing costs that are natural or ones that are moral, emotional and human. I don't think a single boardmember would ever see their resource extraction through and witness human pain and anguish the way agents of black markets do.

I believe your average sweatshop operator is the criminal you'd be comparing the businessman down the capitalist chain of command and everyone knows than humans are the least moral to traffick. Even if it's just labor trafficking it's a bad look. Some poor Bangladeshi overseer probably takes the fall far too often. Not always because his crapshack factory collapsed.

The law allows tickets of up to 500 dollars and 60 days in jail. Mutual aid activists have called it "war on the unhoused." West Palm Beach FnB has been ticketed over 25 times under this law.

This is the front line of the fight against fascism in Florida.

tl;dr is bad things are happening and we should do something to stop it

Where the anarchist homies at?

(San Antonio Eloxochitlán, Oaxaca, 1873 - Leavenworth, Kansas, 1922) Mexican politician and journalist who is considered a precursor of the Mexican Revolution. His figure has remained as that of one of the most upright fighters and consistent with the cause of the workers during the times of the Revolution. Indefatigable and indefatigable, his thought and his struggle inspired many of the workers' conquests and some rights that would be included in the Mexican constitution.

The son of Indigenous parents, Ricardo Flores Magón studied law at the University of Mexico. In 1892 he was arrested along with his brother Jesús de him during a student protest against the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. After collaborating with the short-lived daily El Demócrata, he founded with his brother the newspaper Regeneración, whose first issue appeared on August 7, 1900 and from whose pages the Porfiriato was permanently lashed out.

Harassed by the government, he had to go into exile in the United States in 1904. In the city of Saint Louis (Missouri), he founded in 1906 the Mexican Liberal Party, of socialist/anarchist ideology, claiming a revolutionary program of state interventionism. He demanded the eight-hour day, Sunday rest and the distribution of land to the peasants, with which his ideas had repercussions on the Mexican labor movement. Closer and closer to anarchist socialism, his party was behind the strikes in the mining town of Cananea and the Rio Blanco industrial zone in Veracruz (1906-1907), violently repressed by the Díaz regime.

After the outbreak in 1910 of the revolution that would force Porfirio Díaz to resign, in 1911 he promoted the insurrection in Baja California with his brother Enrique. They came to take the cities of Mexicali and Tijuana and tried, without success, to found a socialist republic. Lacking aid, they were defeated by government troops and had to retreat to the United States. Convinced that the governments were to blame for the oppression of the working class, they continued to fight the rulers who, during the turbulent period of the Mexican Revolution, succeeded Díaz: Francisco I. Madero and Venustiano Carranza.

President Francisco Madero sought his help, but Flores refused to collaborate with the bourgeois revolution. Many of his claims were admitted in the Congress of Querétaro (1917). In 1918 he drew up a manifesto addressed to anarchists around the world, for which he was sentenced to twenty years in prison by the American authorities. After suffering a cruel and ruthless prison regime, he died almost blind on November 20, 1922, in Leavenworth (Kansas) penitentiary.
