Elephant Editions is no more than a collection of texts, a contribution
to the great cauldron of dreams, ideas and experimentation for those who
have decided to make their desires reality, now, without delay.
The prices are orientative, with the usual reductions for bulk orders, distributors,
etc.
If you find any of the texts of interest and wish to receive them, send
what you can. No amount is too little—or too much. Obviously, the
less time spent procuring the necessary means, the more could be spent making
available material that might be useful to us all. So it’s also up
to you.
It goes without saying that books and pamphlets will be sent on request
to those in the clutches of State repression.

Armed Joy
ISBN 1 870133 80 3
£1.50
Hurry comrade, shoot the policeman, the judge, the boss. Now, before a
new police prevent you.
Hurry to say No, before the new repression convinces you that saying no
is pointless, mad, and that you should accept the hospitality of the mental
asylum.
Hurry to attack capital before a new ideology makes it sacred to you.
Hurry to refuse work before some new sophist tells you yet again that
‘'work makes you free'.
Hurry to play. Hurry to arm yourself.

The Anarchist Tension
ISBN 1 870133 81 1
£1.50
Anarchism is not a concept that can be locked up in a word like a gravestone.
It is not a political theory. It is a way of conceiving life, and life,
young or old as we may be is a stake we must play day after day.

The Poverty of Feminism
ISBN 1 870133 82 X
£1.50
In spite of its emancipatory and radical airs, feminism remains in the
area of capitalist society to the point of even becoming the guardian
of female alienation. It is not enough to define it an incomplete revolt,
soliciting it to become total by abandoning the purely women’s point
of view. We need to show up its content and the inversions that it involves
in terms of real solutions.

Albania, Laboratory of Subversion
Introduction
Alfredo M. Bonanno
ISBN 1 870133 83 8
£1.50
In Albania just three years ago a sudden explosion of popular rage demonstrated
yet again that the State only exists thanks to the complicity of those
it dominates. Written when the insurrection in Albania was at its peak,
this inspiring account pushes us to reflect upon our limitations in the
light of such events, and to seek ways to go beyond chatter and idle talk.

The Insurrectional Project
ISBN 1 870133 85 4
£1.50
Today as never before, striking at the root of inequality means attacking
that which makes the unequal distribution of knowledge possible directly.
But not blind attack. Not desperate illogical attack. Projectual, revolutionary
attack, with eyes wide open in order to understand and to act.

At Daggers Drawn
ISBN 1 870133 86 2
£1.50
One part of this society has every interest in continuing to rule, the
other in it all collapsing as soon as possible. Deciding which side one
is on is the first step. But resignation, the basis of agreement between
the parts (improvers of the existent and its false critics) is everywhere,
even in our own lives?the authentic place of the social war?in our desires
and resoluteness, just as in our little daily submissions.
With all this it is necessary to draw daggers, to finally draw daggers
with life.

Behind the Balaclavas in South Mexico
Introduction Massimo Passamani
ISBN 1 870133 84 6
£2.00
The necessary criticism?which no one has ever made?of the EZLN and mercantile
indigenism. The basic common sense to be said on the subject, if you like.

Apart From the Obvious Exceptions,
Interview with Radio Onda Rossa,
A Few Considerations by a Frequenter of the Courts
£1.00
Two well dressed little men, frequenters of the Courts of Rome by profession,
have decided to arrest a few dozen comrades and incriminate as many more…
A girl just turned twenty ends up reciting the role of the ‘penitent’
under the protection of a forest of bayonets… But we are defending
ourselves. Because we are not convinced that the game is over completely,
or that the State is winning even this ongoing small battle, and we believe
there are still possibilities, even legal technicalities, in our favour.
Apart from the obvious exceptions of course.

Revolution, Violence, Anti-authoritarianism
A few notes
£1.00
To study methods of revolutionary struggle without first having a clear
idea of what we mean by revolution can be extremely dangerous and could
lead to quite disconcerting consequences…
…That is why, before examining methods, it is necessary to clarify
a few points: the concept of revolution, the alternative (only apparent)
between violence and nonviolence, and the (concrete) alternative between
authority and freedom.
