Or do you know where I should lok?
Selfless Lovers is a zine focused on stories about magical girls (or boys, etc) fighting against social issues and other problems arising from living in our modern dystopian hellscape. It's not all fiction though. It also contains thoughts and lamentations about the state of the real world and possible resources so you too can take action.
I'm currently looking for submissions for the next issue! I really want to add more articles, interviews, and discussions on activism and direct action.

Hello everyone. I’m currently writing a zine about anarchist music and thought it would be a great idea to interview an up and coming band or artist about their views on anarchism and music. If you’re in a band or make music and have released an album in last year and this is something you might be interested in dm me or comment below. I’ll look into your music and see if you’re a fit for the zine and then we can set up an interview.
Thank you everyone.
This subreddit was created over 9 years ago and only received around two dozen posts in that time. The last one was over four years ago before this space falling into disrepair and the mods leaving.
This is frankly a travesty to the fascinating and important work that zines have played through the late 1800s to modern day. Whether it's radical leftwing thinkers in 1880, underground punks in 1980, or anarchists in modern day, self-produced literature for local distribution has been integral to many movements.
I have removed the "restricted" setting the sub was in previously to allow all reddit users to post and comment here.
Please share your favorite pamphlet only read by three people when you were younger, or the latest and greatest zine or anarchist literature published by AK Press.
1984 - Orwell - Radio Dramatization (50:14 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dlC8t1hcuY
90 cinemas - including leading US locations Alamo Drafthouse, IFC Center, and Film Society of Lincoln Center - will screen the film on 4 April.
Cinema has a lot to teach us about the world - if we're willing to pay attention.
Select independent cinemas in the US will be screening 1984 in protest of Donald Trump, specifically his alleged proposed cuts on cultural institutions, including the entire elimination of the National Endowment for the Arts.
The film - which stars the late John Hurt - adapts George Orwell's iconic 1949 novel, which tells the story of a dystopian world marked by perpetual war and constant surveillance, controlled by a privileged elite who seeks to persecute individualism and independent thought. A dictatorship overseen by Big Brother, bastioned by a cult of personality, though he may not even exist.
Winston Smith works for the propaganda branch of the Ministry of Truth, tasked with rewriting newspaper articles so they always read in support of the party, or destroying documents to remove evidence the government is lying. Any of this sound familiar?
90 cinemas - including leading US locations Alamo Drafthouse, IFC Center, and Film Society of Lincoln Center - will screen the film on 4 April, the date in which Winston rebels against Big Brother by starting a diary, an act punishable by death.
"Orwell’s novel begins with the sentence, ‘It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen,'" reads a statment on the project's website. "Less than one month into the new presidential administration, theater owners collectively believe the clock is already striking thirteen. Orwell’s portrait of a government that manufactures their own facts, demands total obedience, and demonizes foreign enemies, has never been timelier."
"The endeavor encourages theaters to take a stand for our most basic values: freedom of speech, respect for our fellow human beings, and the simple truth that there are no such things as 'alternative facts'. By doing what they do best – showing a movie – the goal is that cinemas can initiate a much-needed community conversation at a time when the existence of facts, and basic human rights are under attack."
"Through nationwide participation and strength in numbers, these screenings are intended to galvanize people at the crossroads of cinema and community, and bring us together to foster communication and resistance against current efforts to undermine the most basic tenets of our society."
