It is urgent that we organize to confront tyranny.

But *how* we organize will determine whether agency is concentrated in a few hands or distributed horizontally to all.

And this will determine how effective, egalitarian, and resilient our organizing can be.

Anarchiści na fali protestów w Indonezji

https://crimethinc.com/2024/09/23/anarchisci-na-fali-protestow-w-indonezji

W sierpniu 2024 r. Indonezją wstrząsnęła fala protestów, rzekomo w odpowiedzi na polityczne machinacje mające na celu namaszczenie następcy prezydenta Joko Widodo, popularnie zwanego Jokowi. W anglojęzycznym świecie pojawiło się bardzo niewiele informacji na temat tych protestów. Aby poznać głębsze aspekty tych wydarzeń, skontaktowaliśmy się z anarchistami z różnych części Indonezji.

24 years ago today, anarchists from across North America converged in Québec City to oppose a transcontinental summit intended to establish a “Free Trade Area of the Americas.”

Longevity is important.

It is how we pass on collective memory from one movement to the next, from one generation to the next. It is how we let new participants know it is safe to invest themselves fully in this struggle, showing that it can be the calling of a lifetime, through the best of times and the worst of times.

We'll still be doing this next year—and in 30 years.

Two years ago today, three anarchists were killed in battle near Bakhmut: an American named Cooper Andrews, an Irishman named Finbar Cafferkey, and a Russian named Dmitry Petrov. People in our networks have shared undertakings with all three of these comrades over the years.

In this eulogy, we explore the life of Dmitry Petrov, which doubles as a snapshot of the past two decades of struggle in the post-Soviet world.

As the United States descends further into autocracy, we have much to learn from Dmitry, who courageously fought tyranny in Russia, Belarus, Syria, and Ukraine. 🏴

We’ve prepared a poster in homage to Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, the self-styled “street gang with an analysis” active in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the late 1960s. They played an instrumental role in popularizing the concepts of affinity groups and direct action. The text is taken directly from an Up Against the Wall Motherfucker broadside.

In a time of escalating repression and desperation, it is bracing to revisit the avowed optimism of our revolutionary forebears. This optimism concerns not just whether it is possible to win, but what would constitute victory and who stands to benefit.

Centrists are beginning to call for an uprising against Donald Trump. Yet they helped create this situation by working to suppress the powerful social movements of the past decade.

No wonder those who would participate in an uprising are suspicious of those who invested the police with more money and power after the uprising of 2020. That betrayal created the conditions for Trump to return to power.

To involve enough people, any movement against Trump will have to address the material needs of the oppressed. If we don't want autocracy, we must organize against all forms of oppression.

A year ago, students established an encampment at Columbia in solidarity with Gaza.

Donald Trump claims that the camp was a hotbed of antisemitism. Anyone who visited knows this is a lie. Who brutalized Jewish students at Columbia? The police did—to punish them for opposing genocide.

The Gaza solidarity encampments that sprang up around the US in response represented the most successful voluntary collaboration between Muslim and Jewish students taking place anywhere in the world. If university administrations claimed it was necessary to destroy them in order to "keep the peace," this reveals what they mean by peace.

In seeking to crush solidarity organizing and smear Jewish anti-Zionists as antisemitic, paving the way for Trump to deport students on account of their beliefs, the university administrations showed that centrism is not an alternative to authoritarianism, but a means of bringing it to power.

Horrifically, the genocide in Gaza continues. Free Palestine.

25 years ago today, on April 16, 2000, tens of thousands of people gathered in Washington, DC to take action against the meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. Building on the mobilization that shut down the summit of the World Trade Organization in Seattle the previous November, they sought to demonstrate the virtues of global solidarity as an alternative to neoliberal capitalist globalization.

This oral history captures the events and the spirit of the times in vivid detail.

"The black bloc came at that moment when blood was streaming down people’s faces and essentially pushed the police out of our intersection. They were just this wall of bodies that pushed them out and saved our intersection from any further police abuse. I’ve forever been grateful to that black bloc for hearing on the walkie talkies that we needed help and coming so powerfully to our aid."

April 15 is Steal Something from Work Day!

http://stealfromwork.crimethinc.com/

Every year, alongside many others, we observe April 15 as Steal Something from Work Day—an opportunity to reflect on the causes and implications of workplace theft.

https://crimethinc.com/StealfromWork2025

This year, we turn our focus to so-called “Robin Hood employees”—those who steal from their workplaces in order to share with others. Loss prevention professionals allege that Robin Hood employees inflict losses on corporations much more efficiently than ordinary shoplifters or employees who only steal for their own benefit.

In other words, when it comes to redistributing wealth, the most effective approach is not to take things for yourself, but to share them with everyone.

The billionaires know that fossil fuels and power-intensive AI are rendering the earth uninhabitable. That's what their bunkers are for.

But even more than bunkers, they're investing in surveillance and repression.

They're not afraid of the end of the world.

They're afraid we'll try to save it.

There were no permits, no visas, and it always gives me pleasure to astonish the young by telling them that before 1914, I travelled from Europe to India and America without a passport and without ever having seen one."

Borders as we know them are a recent concoction.

The passport system as we know it dates to the First World War. ICE was founded in 2003 as part of the so-called "War on Terror," a disaster for freedom in every way.

A Demonstrator’s Guide to Lockdowns and Blockades

https://crimethinc.com/lockdowns

A complete guide to assembling and employing lockboxes and other means of blockading.

There is a broad spectrum of tactics to choose from between simply holding up a protest sign and setting things on fire. If you are looking to intensify a pressure campaign or to stand your ground more effectively when challenged, consider these means of holding space over a long period of time.

Like the toppling of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, the ouster of South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol should give pause to all mercenaries who sell their capacity to inflict violence to whoever happens to control the government.

If you do harm to people in the service of a despot, and the despot loses power, what do you think will happen to you?

At the turn of the century, during the movement against capitalist globalization, we used to say that it was a travesty that products could move across national borders more easily than human beings.

The solution is not to impose more controls on products as well as on human beings.

The tariffs are not intended to benefit the United States economy, nor the capitalist class as a whole. They chiefly benefit Donald Trump and his lackeys, functioning as a tool with which they can punish adversaries and negotiate for personal gain.

This is a hallmark of authoritarian rule.

The arbitrary and autocratic state policy exemplified by these tariffs is emerging as a consequence of the tremendous disparities in wealth and power that the neoliberal world order produced.

The solution is not to try to go back to neoliberalism, but to abolish capitalism.

The fact that Elon Musk's attempt to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court failed despite $25+ million in propaganda and bribery shows that there is still a force more powerful than greed.

But everyone knows that force is hatred of fascist billionaires—not support for the Democratic Party.

The Democrats represent authoritarianism lite. It was their neoliberal policies that concentrated so much power in Elon Musk's hands in the first place.

To abolish the structures that produce billionaire supervillains, we will have to do a lot more than vote. We will have to bring about fundamental shifts in how we relate to resources. This will require grassroots networks taking direct action.

Как сообщают CrimethInc., сегодня, 29 марта, по всему миру проходят демонстрации и акции против корпорации Тесла и её владельца Илона Маска — фашистского технократа, приятеля фашистов Путина, Эрдогана и Нетаньяху.

Товарищ:ки пишут:

Вместо того, чтобы оставаться в обороне в условиях отвратительных фашистских атак, выбор Теслы в качестве мишени — это способ открыть новое направление борьбы, установить условия, в которых разворачивается конфликт и вынудить врагов занять ре-активную позицию.

Чем больше их руки связаны защитой своих прибылей, тем меньше они смогут сосредоточиться на нанесении вреда людям, что является их главной политической программой.

«Каждая и каждый может открыть новый фронт борьбы, найдя слабость в господствующем порядке и перейдя в наступление. Чем больше действующих фронтов, тем в большей безопасности мы все находимся». 🏴

Today, March 29, people will hold demonstrations against Elon Musk at hundreds of Tesla outlets around the world.

Rather than remaining on the defensive as the fascists carry out more and more outrageous attacks, targeting Tesla is a way to open up a new front of struggle, setting the terms of the conflict and forcing them into a reactive posture.

The more that their hands are tied trying to protect their profits, the less they will be able to focus on doing harm to people, which is their chief political program.

"Everyone can open up a new front of struggle by identifying a vulnerability in the ruling order and going on the offensive. The more fronts there are, the safer we all will be." 🏴

In this stirring first-person account, a participant recounts scenes from the movement against deportations in Paris in the late 1990s, including efforts to blockade the trains via which the police transported captured immigrants to the border.

As Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their lackeys scapegoat the undocumented and kidnap immigrants who oppose genocide even when they hold green cards, it is a good time to study how people have resisted the violence of the state in other times and places.

Nel novembre 1919, il presidente degli Stati Uniti Woodrow Wilson scatenò un’ondata repressiva contro l’intero movimento anarchico degli Stati Uniti. La polizia arrestò simultaneamente migliaia di anarchici in molte parti del Paese, chiudendo i loro giornali, le loro organizzazioni e le loro sale di riunione.

Se oggi dovessero verificarsi incursioni simili, si svolgerebbero in un panorama tecnologico caratterizzato da sorveglianza di massa e attacchi elettronici mirati. Chi sopravvive dovrebbe anche adottare strumenti diversi.

A wildfire of defiance, fueled by the love of freedom,
and the unyielding spirit of those who refuse to kneel.

This is not just a fight for Indonesia,

On March 20, anarchists and other protesters held simultaneous demonstrations in at least 19 cities in Indonesia in response to the Indonesian Parliament enacting the revised Indonesian National Armed Forces Bill (UU TNI), which paves the way for a return to the authoritarianism of the military dictatorship under Suharto. The protesters confronted extreme police repression in the streets.

In November 1919, United States President Woodrow Wilson launched mass raids against the entire anarchist movement in the United States. Police simultaneously arrested thousands of anarchists in many different parts of the country, shutting down their newspapers, organizations, and meeting halls.

If similar raids were to take place today, they would occur in a technological landscape involving mass surveillance and targeted electronic attacks. Those who survive would also have to adopt different tools.

The Israeli military is bombing Gaza again, unilaterally breaching the ceasefire. Hundreds of people are already reported killed in Gaza.

They are not doing this because the Israeli government was not able to use diplomacy to achieve the goals that made them agree to the ceasefire.

They are doing this because, having achieved those intermediate goals, they are now in a position to resume the genocide, which is their chief goal.

Let no one make excuses for this attack. The Israeli military has already killed hundreds of Palestinian children for every Israeli child who was killed on October 7, 2023. They have already destroyed the schools and hospitals and rendered millions homeless.

This is genocide for the sake of colonial land theft, pure and simple.

Cop City Is Everywhere

Learning from the Movement to Defend the Forest

https://crimethinc.com/CopCity2025

The movement to stop Cop City and defend Weelaunee Forest was one of the most important social struggles of the Biden era. Its trajectory tells us a lot about the challenges we confront today under Donald Trump.

In the final chapter of our chronology, we trace the movement’s concluding phase, beginning in 2023 and ending with Trump’s arrival in power, and explore what we can learn from it.

We honor the courage of the protesters arrested at Trump Tower in solidarity with Mahmoud Khalil.

Christian Nationalists aim to make themselves the arbiters of what counts as antisemitism in order to dehumanize Palestinians, discipline Jews who refuse to support genocide, and pave the way for fascism.

Trump made this clear enough yesterday, when he declared that a Jewish politician from the opposition had "become a Palestinian" by disagreeing with him.

Just as white nationalists justify racist violence by claiming to be "protecting women," Christian nationalists are attempting to use accusations of "antisemitism" to justify crackdowns, deportations, and genocide. Don't fall for it.

https://crimethinc.com/MahmoudKhalil

Dictatorship by used-car salesmen.

Declining profit rates have driven capitalists to focus on market speculation. Both Elon Musk and Donald Trump have made their fortunes chiefly by hype.

Now they are perpetrating this scam at the highest level of political power, using the instruments of the state to promote their products. Elon Musk is transferring $100 million to Donald Trump in return for this car commercial.

But what goes up must come down. The more wealth and power they concentrate in their hands, the clearer it is to everyone else that the system that elevated them deserves to be destroyed.

The Antisemitic Plan to Smear Palestine Solidarity as Antisemitic

Trump's excuse for kidnapping Mahmoud Khalil is that Khalil engaged in "antisemitic" activity by protesting the genocide in Palestine.

In fact, Trump is using a playbook that was designed by the far-right Heritage Foundation to accuse Jews of "antisemitism."

This is a slide from a Heritage Foundation presentation that argues for political deportations like the targeting of Khalil. It purports to describe "Antisemitism's Ecosystem."

Look closely: “Soros” and Jewish Voice for Peace are at the tops of the columns titled “Masterminds” and “Organizers.”

By depicting empathy for Palestinians as participation in “a global Hamas Support Network,” the Heritage Foundation aims to dehumanize Palestinians, terrorize all who do not support genocide, and forcibly subordinate all Jewish people to the Christian Nationalist agenda.

This is a fascist program. It will not make Jewish people any safer than Palestinians.

Questo fa parte del giro di vite promesso da Donald Trump sull’attivismo di solidarietà con la Palestina alla Columbia University e in altre scuole del Paese. Soprattutto, però, è un test, e il modo in cui rispondiamo determinerà ciò che accadrà in seguito al resto di noi, come ha descritto Martin Niemöller nella sua nota poesia.

Махмуд Халил — обладатель постоянного вида на жительство в США. Однако этот статус был отозван в рамках нового витка репрессий против палестинского движения, начатого с приходом к власти Трампа. Трамп лично прокомментировал задержание Махмуда, написал в своей социальной сети «Truth Social», что это «первый арест среди многих, которые последуют». Солидарные с Махмудом Халилом люди, в том числе анархист:ки, в эти дни организуются, чтобы выступить против репрессий.

На первый взгляд, новость об аресте участника палестинского движения в США кажется малоактуальной в нашем пост-советском контексте. Но это только на первый взгляд. События последних лет — подавление народного восстания в Беларуси, полномасштабная война в Украине, небывалый размах репрессий в России — привели к появлению на Западе довольно внушительного сообщества политизированных выходцев из этих стран. Предпринимаются попытки организовываться, заявлять о своей субъектности. И тут необходимо обратить внимание на опыт сообществ, которые уже многие годы сталкиваются на Западе с криминализацией, репрессиями, объявлениями «террорист:ками», с запретами организаций и депортациями, — например, на опыт курдского и палестинского сообществ. Потому что с подобным опытом можем столкнуться и мы.

Ситуация на Западе неблагоприятная. С одной стороны, растущая милитаризация ведёт к стремлению подавить все общественные силы, не вписывающиеся в государственнический консенсус и представления о «единой нации, вставшей на защиту своей безопасности». Особенно анархисто:к, тем более мигранто:к и бежен:ок. С другой стороны, всё чаще на Западе к власти приходят ультраправые силы, желающие «договориться» с путинским режимом, разделить с ним сферы влияния в колонизированных странах. Тот же Трамп. Это также не придаёт устойчивости нашему положению. Сегодня террорист:ками объявляют курдов и палестинцев. А завтра? Тех, кто выступает за партизанское сопротивление в России и Беларуси?

Опыт подвергающихся гонениям сообществ может стать и нашим. Поэтому важна солидарность, взаимопомощь, готовность приходить друг другу на помощь, бороться друг за друга.

Then They Came for the Palestinians: How to Respond to the Kidnapping of Mahmoud Khalil

https://crimethinc.com/MahmoudKhalil

We explore the strategy of the Trump administration in targeting a Palestinian activist and what is at stake in our response. For perspective, we present the experiences of anarchists whose comrade was similarly kidnapped for participating in the Occupy ICE movement in San Antonio, Texas in 2018.

Επτά Μύθοι για την Αστυνομία

https://crimethinc.com/2011/10/25/epta-muthoi-gia-ten-astunomia

Η απονομιμοποίηση της αστυνομίας δεν είναι επωφελής μόνο για όσους στοχοποιούνται, αλλά και για τις οικογένειες των αστυνομικών και τους ίδιους τους αστυνομικούς. Οι αστυνομικοί όχι μόνο έχουν δυσανάλογα υψηλά ποσοστά ενδοοικογενειακής βίας και παιδικής κακοποίησης, αλλά είναι επίσης πιο πιθανό να σκοτωθούν, να αυτοκτονήσουν και να παλέψουν με τον εθισμό από ότι οι περισσότεροι τομείς της κοινωνίας. Οτιδήποτε ενθαρρύνει τους αστυνομικούς να εγκαταλείψουν τη δουλειά τους είναι προς το συμφέρον τους, καθώς και προς το συμφέρον των αγαπημένων τους προσώπων και της κοινωνίας γενικότερα. Ας δημιουργήσουμε έναν κόσμο στον οποίο κανείς δεν καταπιέζει ή καταπιέζεται, στον οποίο κανείς δεν χρειάζεται να ζει με φόβο.

«Μάθετε τι ακριβώς θα υποκύψει ήσυχα οποιοσδήποτε λαός και έχετε βρει το ακριβές μέτρο της αδικίας και του λάθους που θα του επιβληθεί, και αυτό θα συνεχιστεί μέχρι να αντισταθούν είτε με λόγια είτε με χτυπήματα είτε και με τα δύο.»

-Φρέντερικ Ντάγκλας

Η ΑΣΤΥΝΟΜΙΑ

https://crimethinc.com/posters/e-astunomia

Αυτοί που πυροβόλησαν και σκότωσαν τον Αλέξανδρο Γρηγορόπουλο και τον Μιχάλη Καλτεζά όταν ήταν και οι δύο μόλις 15 ετών. Αυτοί που επιτίθενται σε φοιτητές, όπως έκαναν στον Αυγουστίνο Δημητρίου. Αυτοί που ξυλοκόπησαν βάναυσα την Σταματίνα Κανελλοπούλου και τον Ιάκωβο Κουμή, με αποτέλεσμα να πεθάνουν στο νοσοκομείο. Αυτοί που έδειραν τον Χρήστο Χρονόπουλο μέχρι αναπηρίας στο αστυνομικό τμήμα τους. Αυτοί που χτυπάνε φωτορεπόρτερ που κάνουν τη δουλειά τους, όπως έκαναν στην Τατιάνα Μπόλαρη. Αυτοί που βαράνε απεργούς με πυροσβεστήρες, όπως έκαναν στον Γιάννη Καυκά. Αυτοί που στέκονται ανάμεσα σε κάθε πεινασμένο άτομο και τα ράφια γεμάτα φαγητό, ανάμεσα σε κάθε άστεγο και τα άδεια κτήρια, ανάμεσα σε κάθε μετανάστρια και την οικογένειά της.

Σε κάθε χώρα, σε κάθε εποχή, μας λέτε πως είστε απαραίτητοι, πως χωρίς εσάς θα σκοτωνόμασταν όλοι μεταξύ μας.

Αλλά ξέρουμε πολύ καλά ποιοι είναι οι δολοφόνοι.

"We face powerful adversaries, but the majority of people, including many of their current supporters, have good reason to oppose them alongside us. If we bring people together, if we demonstrate effective ways to fight back, putting our own risk tolerance at the disposal of larger struggles, many more people will eventually join us."

It's safer in the front.

On March 8, Department of Homeland Security agents kidnapped Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and grad student at Columbia University.

Khalil had permanent residency in the United States. Trump's fascist state department arbitrarily revoked it. They are holding him in Louisiana, over a thousand miles from home.

First they came for the Palestinians. Martin Niemöller's poem is happening right now.

Today, people will demonstrate in solidarity with Mahmoud Khalil in New York City.

Some demonstrators will be distributing this flier. You can print out copies here yourself:

Without the ever-escalating violence of amoral mercenaries, it would be impossible to preserve the disparities in wealth and power that make it possible for men like Elon Musk to buy up elections while millions go hungry.

Abolish billionaires. Abolish the police.

“L’unico immigrato che cerca di rubarmi il lavoro è Elon Musk”

Срещата на Г20 в Хамбург и въпросът с насилието

https://crimethinc.com/2017/07/05/nieprieksnato-zhivo-pokritiie-na-sprotiva-srieshchu-g20-v-khamburgh-chietiri-diena-pochasovi-dokladi

Когато и да се стигне до улични сблъсъци, като тези по време на настоящата среща на лидерите от Г20 в Хамбург, свикналите да приемат държавното и полицейско насилие като нещо нормално и неразделна част от ежедневния живот бързат да изкажат своето възмущение от това да видят как други хора се защитават и опълчват срещу това насилие. Точно така — полицейските сили, тежко въоръжени със смъртоносни оръжия, упражняват груба сила срещу невъоръжени граждани, а гражданите от своя страна биват обвинявани за това, че се опитват да ги спрат. Нещо май не е наред тук?

In the first camp, we find those who believe that a certain amount of self-determination is acceptable, as long as it falls neatly within whatever laws happen to be on the books. They are also at ease with a wide range of ruthless self-seeking oppressive activity, provided it complies with the law.

In the second camp, we find those who are determined to consolidate power in their own hands, regardless of what laws happen to be on the books. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their various capitalist and fascist backers aim to replace the current laws and courts with something even worse.

In the third camp, we find those who believe that regardless of what laws happen to be on the books, no one should be able to dominate anyone else—whether by hoarding access to resources or wielding the instruments of state repression.

There is no excuse for tyranny.
