Zines - not dead. Very alive
I was very into ‘zines when I was a young Charlie. But in the silly ol’ digital age, I’d lost touch. But the London Zine Symposium on Sunday showed they’re thriving. Lots of lovely anarchists with vegan cakes and good ideas for changing everything. It’s a counterculture where people get off their arses and do amazing pretty and intelligent things. And even more than ever the world needs ‘zines as a personal antidote to the identical worlds of mass media. It sounds like a cliche but it’s true.
My favourite is a guide to anarchist football - I haven’t read it yet. I bet it involves Luther Blissett
