The premiere issue of this Balkan Anarchist journal (more like a book) features the topic of anti-militaism. We live in a highly militarized world. It is never really a question for the state and capital if that is necessary, it is only a matter of level. How much militarization? The Balkans were always heavily militarized, even periods of “peace” were marked by a strong military presence in everyday life. And, speaking from the territory which was once called Yugoslavia, and now carries a few different names, it is clear that militarist mythology and general militarization always prepares society for new wars, and never serves to preserve “peace”, as those in power like to assure us. First published in June of 2016.
