If capitalism were really the most efficient way of meeting people's needs, we probably wouldn't be having so much trouble producing and distributing enough #COVID19 vaccines.

Of course, we also wouldn't be facing mass evictions—or widespread poverty—or climate catastrophe.

“Here’s how it works: Fascist groups promote racist, sexist, and nationalist violence. Individual bigots carry it out—attacking people in the streets, shooting people in churches, stabbing
people on trains. The authorities use these attacks as an excuse to increase control, promising to protect a fearful population. But the greatest threat is not individual fascists: it is the state itself. It is the state that deports and imprisons millions, that suppresses dissent. When a more reactionary government takes power, it will use all the resources and legitimacy that the previous one obtained to carry out even more violence. Only grassroots resistance can stop the rise of fascism.” — Crimethinc

It would be difficult to overstate the importance of punk in the worldwide renaissance of anti-authoritarian politics that occurred in the late 20th century, from Poland to the Philippines and Latin America.

Against all dictatorships—and all militaries.

The picture is from a twitter thread reporting on resistance to the military coup in Myanmar:

Puerto Rico: The Road to Decolonization

In Puerto Rico, the grassroots response to #COVID19 has built upon the response to Hurricane Maria, the uprising of 2019 that toppled the governor, and centuries of resistance to capitalism and colonialism.

Tunisia is experiencing its largest grassroots revolt since the so-called Arab Spring, with implications for all North Africa.

Anarchists in Tunisia explore what has changed—and what remains the same.

We’ve just reprinted To Change Everything, our anarchist outreach project. As the dust settles from the Trump era, this is a good time to articulate and popularize a critique of authoritarian power.

A German group is calling on Pfizer employees to leak the recipe for the #COVID19 vaccine so people in the developing world won't have to wait years for it:

People always ask us how it would be possible to treat the pandemic without corporations and governments. Actually—it turns out corporations and governments are the chief obstacle!

Corporate intellectual property rights and profit-driven economies have been implicated in mass deaths for centuries. The idea that science and medicine are inseparable from these is a capitalist myth.

We need new models for research and health care. A better world is possible. 🏴

A few days ago, we shared a photograph of anarchist punks in Myanmar demonstrating against the military coup. It turns out that they have a band called Rebel Riot. Hear what they have to say for yourself:

"Viva la revolution! Let's stick together, let's fight together!"

A year ago this evening, after a life of adventures and polemics, longtime anarchist Aragorn! passed away. Among other things, Aragorn! distinguished himself by maintaining an array of infrastructure projects providing information to thousands of people across North America and the world.

Some of the projects that survive him include the Anarchist Library, Little Black Cart distribution, and a constellation of online resources under the Anarchy Planet umbrella, to name just a few. His publishing efforts helped to keep Indigenous, ecological, and post-left perspectives in circulation. It is impossible to understand the contemporary US anarchist movement without recognizing his contributions.

For a full review of Aragorn!’s life and activities, you can read our eulogy for him:

We've also made a zine version of an interview with him and published a poem about him:

Long ago, in another century, inspired by the joy we discovered in our adventures together, we dreamed that a revolutionary movement could extend what is best about romantic love to all relations. We published a manifesto about this in the first issue of Harbinger, an early CrimethInc. paper.

Today, ten thousand tragedies later, this still strikes us as a worthy vision.

Love sans frontières.
