Flavio Costantini (1926 – 2013) ‘The Art of Anarchy’
Flavio Costantini was born in Rome, Italy, in 1926. He served in the Italian Navy before becoming a commercial graphic artist in 1955. He has illustrated several books including The Art of Anarchy (1974), The Shadow Line (1989) and Letters from the Underworld (1997).
More often than not it is the artist, writer or poet, rather than the historian or sociologist, who succeed in capturing the spirit of an age; in so doing, they make an important contribution to our understanding of society. Flavio Costantini is such a person. He sadly passed away on 20th May 2013.
I’m almost certain they did the cover to the Alexandre Skirda Makhno book too
OH WAIT, IT IS IN THE PHOTO OF THEM IN THE BACKGROUND!
Totally reading the book for the last few weeks, sad to lose such a gifted artist

Atari Teenage Riot - Black Flags
Are you ready to testify ?
Are you ready to testify?
Black flags
Are you ready to testify?
You got 2 seconds
Are you ready to testify!!! come on!
There’s a unified axis of government
And corporate power
Lawless and unrestrained
That’s what we should talk about
Corporations exploit the power of the state
To further enhance their power
And the real criminals get away
Are you ready to testify ?
Are you ready to testify?
Black flags
Are you ready to testify?
You got 2 seconds
Are you ready to testify!!! come on!
Try to threat the system
You’ll have the full weight of law
Come crashing down upon you
So you don’t resist
Surveillance, goons
Force us to be silent
They kill the careers of journalists
So noone can resist
My flow, it sputters like they shut off my water
I got the sheriff after me for what i said bout obama
My flag is red like a period
Comma
I’m a piranha
Just like every one of y’all
Let’s take that shark to the slaughter
And here we gotta beat bouncin’ more than last months rent check
The boss walkin’ walll street with a pimp step
People of whoville!
We need to slit the grinch’s neck
We low paid prostitutes with no fishnets
Ash-sha`b yurid isqat an-nizam
Tell homeland security we are the bomb
Inform the house staff the mob’s on the lawn
And it aint no soiree
Il ne c’est pas bon
They call this black flags
But i’m not an anarchist
I’m on some sickle/hammer shit
Collective bruce banner shit
Over a piano pitch
Cock and let the hammer hit
We’re here collecting damages
And handing knuckle sandwiches
There’s a class war going on
And it’s the rich who are waging it!
They try to destroy anyone who is a threat to their power
Playing for keeps - they want it all!
Do you want it all?
Are you ready to testify ?
Are you ready to testify?
Black flags
Are you ready to testify?
You got 2 seconds
Are you ready to testify!!! come on! -

Police Raid CNT Centre in Spain, Arrests 5 “Black Flag” Anarchists
From comrades in Barcelona we have been informed that five members of ‘Black Flag’ have been detained in dawn raids on the anarchist-syndicalist CNT centre in Sabadell near Barcelona, Spain. They are accused of belonging to a terrorist group. The Police broke into and searched the Anarchist Workers Centre (Ateneo Libertari) in Sabadell. The operations included another raid and search in Sabadell and two more in other municipalities in Catalonia, one of them in Avignon (Bages County). On the same day police evicted the Can Piella ‘Land and Liberty’ squat. International solidarity is requested.
Thirty Mossos police have now taken over the anarchist centre in Sabadell, after smashing down the door down before 9.00 a.m. according to a member of the CNT union that occupies part of the premises with Bandera Negra (‘Black Flag’). The ‘Mossos’ – whose origins are military – have a long history of carrying out beatings in police stations and it is hoped comrades will not be harmed.
The Ateneo de Sabadell, which is owned by the CNT, is a space open to all working people of Sabadell, which many groups and people from Sabadell and elsewhere have used for recreational, cultural and social events over many years. Other citizens of the city, including the 15M Take The Streets movement and Occupy, make use of the building and have begun demonstrations in support of the five arrested. The premises at Sabadell have now been sealed off.
The five arrested people are scheduled to appear before the Audiencia Nacional in Madrid on Friday. In addition to Sabadell, sources close to the anarchist movement say that Catalonian regional police are launching further raids at the behest of the Audiencia Nacional in other towns in Catalonia.
