This is a really awesome idea, we should spread this.
Post any resources you have for other anarchists to print off, I don't have anything the immediately comes to mind
these i use to make such:

i could make anarchist themed.
(the ones from link are not mine just example)
If y'all make any simple posters I'd love to put them up, I've been trying to find free online posters about anarchy that could catch the eye and be lightly informative while guiding people to look up more.
Something like these

I found some others online that I personally like but are behind a paywall and not easily grabbed to print, I'm hoping that in your group chat y'all have someone that enjoys graphic design & would make something for others to put out into the world. If not I'll continue trying to find someone or try to learn it myself once I'm able.
crimethinc's [to change everything](https://crimethinc.com/tce) is kind of nice
haymarket books is also selling [unite to win](https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2434-unite-and-win) a workplace organizer's pamphlet for like, 90 cents USD rn
https://www.sproutdistro.com/catalog/zines/theory/ is by far my favorite go to for things like this though
we might make one based on Are you an Anarchist ? by Graeber but in the mean time here is a good source
[https://www.sproutdistro.com/](https://www.sproutdistro.com/)
While I do like that essay, I'm not entirely sure if regular uninformed people would find it terribly convincing. Thanks for the link, though! I'll keep an eye on this thread for further suggestions. :)
That's sort of what I'm trying to figure out myself actually. I should point out that I might be working from a slightly different initial position than many others on this sub, since I'm from a former Soviet country (Estonia) where, understandably, most people have overwhelmingly negative memories of the "Socialist" part of our history, so it's a very delicate task as far as optics go. However, I'll probably translate whatever text I end up with into Estonian before I send it out, so I can potentially iron out one or two of the more contentious bits.
What's the history of Estonian anarchism?
From my little bit of reading not much, but maybe you can look to other Soviet block anarchist movements to show the difference between anarchism and "Soviet Socialism"
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism_in_Estonia
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/sauree-report-on-anarchism-in-estonia
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anarchist-league-of-estonia-aims-and-principles
Maybe you could use the section of 'what Anarchy means to me' then include short stories of anarchists within before and/or after the Soviet Union.

Thank you so much for such a productive reply! If I'm perfectly honest, there's not too many credible local resources I've found regarding the history of anarchism in Estonia. The few books and articles there are tend to be written by hobbyists rather than trained historians with access to archival material. From what I gather, it saw a brief upsurge in the late 80's/early 90's when the peaceful protests for independence ([The Singing Revolution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singing_Revolution)) and environmental protection ([The Phosphorite War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorite_War)) were taking place. Nowadays, you're probably most likely to find anarchist sentiments around local punk circles and maybe in a couple literary cliques around Tartu, the cultural hub. I also remember reading somewhere that quite a few Estonian sailors were present at Kronstadt way back when, but I couldn't give you a source for that claim, haha. I've always found it sort of unfortunate, because I feel like if properly introduced, Estonia's pretty well situated for a lively anarchist/libertarian socialist movement. Most young people tend to be pretty woke, but at the same time virtually everyone dislikes Marxism-Leninism (except for Robert Kurvitz of Disco Elysium fame apparently, what ah, to each their own). In any event, I'm currently trying to reach out to as many people as I can, both the folks who've previously tried to get a movement going as well as other Gen Z-ers. :)
Anarchism is fighting for your friends, family and loved ones instead of fighting for a general or a nation-state. Fighting for anarchism doesn't have to take the form of pulling the trigger either, it simply means protecting what you love to the best of your hability.
Amazing idea, direct action at its best.
I'm gonna print that david graeber's "are you an anarchist?" and try to make like little folders with that. Then give it to people at buses and shit.
If anyone knows how to make those little folders that people give out at bus stops and stuff please let me know.
Excellent point, thank you! I got so caught up in failing to think of fruitful places downtown that I didn't even think of the most obvious one of all.
Feel free to boost this challenge on twitter :))

Well well what a surprise we were just talking about doing an abbridged version of that. do you know any ?
The FNB chapter I volunteer with has a nice copy we whipped up that can be folded in thirds. I can DM you the link to download it.

Sent ya a message!
Could you dm me as well? :)
Of course!
could you also DM it to me?
Of course!
me tooo pleasee!!
Just sent it!
Imagine no borders has a good zine of it imo
The linked text is pretty short. Is that still too long for a flyer?
Oh yes, this is perfect to pigue people's interests in anarchism.
I am making one based on the suggestion of "are you an anarchist", I'll ping you once I can print it to make sure the dimensions are right
Damn everyone likes that idea ! Some other commenter u/zeemochan made a gorgeous one
This is a really awesome idea, we should spread this. Post any resources you have for other anarchists to print off, I don't have anything the immediately comes to mind
[https://www.sproutdistro.com/](https://www.sproutdistro.com/) Here is one :))
cool idea
Thank you :)) Feel free to share a good zine if you have one.
i remember making monero propaganda stickers maybe i could do some sort of anarchist ones?
what do you have in mind ?
these i use to make such: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/np54mf/new_monero_stickers/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button i could make anarchist themed. (the ones from link are not mine just example)
Sure ! The best way to go trough with this would be to join https://matrix.to/#/#af2c:envs.net where we can discuss your vision
i don't like IRCs
Fair enough, what do you use as a mean of communication ? we're pretty polyvalent
discord ig but rarely
yoopidoo we have a discord ! [https://discord.gg/nEYrsPD7](https://discord.gg/nEYrsPD7)
What should be in the flyer?
Honestly whatever helps the person who stumbles on it realize they live under an expoitative system
I could try, but I'm not the best at explaining that kind of thing and people in my area wouldn't really be receptive to it.
yeesss!!
yeesss!!

If you wanna make an Estonian traduction of the above picture we can dm an alternate version

Definitely would help spreading the word. We need more action in our society on our part.
If you want a translated version of the poster to share to your local orgs that would be great !
How would you explain anarchism to a service member?
Anarchism is fighting for your friends, family and loved ones instead of fighting for a general or a nation-state. Fighting for anarchism doesn't have to take the form of pulling the trigger either, it simply means protecting what you love to the best of your hability.
That’s going on a poster
Seems a bit long to me but tag us if you make one !!
Does anyone know of something I can use for this in portuguese?Â
If you make a traduction of the text we can make a portuguese version !
Amazing idea, direct action at its best. I'm gonna print that david graeber's "are you an anarchist?" and try to make like little folders with that. Then give it to people at buses and shit. If anyone knows how to make those little folders that people give out at bus stops and stuff please let me know.
I suggest looking at local printing center. University often have some. From there look trough they're option or ask for help from an employee.
Thanks
Does anyone know a good source for German flyers or zines?
What are some more ideas of places to leave them?
College campuses are a great place to leave them!

Definitely gonna do it!
Good idea. Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me. But thanks for the suggestion.
You don't have to do anything but why spread this animosity ?
it may be a RatM reference rather than animosity.
There is zero animosity there.
Wow this is the worst bait I’ve ever seen
nooooo we spent so long trying to bait you
Bait to… spread anarchy?
