Coming out of the Occupy movement, we initiated a dialogue with anarchists who had participated in similar assembly-based movements in Spain, Greece, Bosnia, Slovenia, Brazil, and elsewhere.
Our goal was to identify the ways that the decision-making processes we employed had facilitated or impeded social change, and to formulate an anarchist analysis of democratic discourse and models.
The result was our book, From Democracy to Freedom.

Solidarity among the Displaced: How Russian anarchists in exile supported Armenian refugee squatters
https://crimethinc.com/Armenia2023
Throughout the world, mass displacement is accelerating as climate catastrophe, economic crisis, and war drive millions into exile, both within their own countries and across borders. These mass migrations are exacerbating gentrification, driving up housing costs just as real estate speculation is rendering more and more people homeless. How can displaced people continue to take political action in their new homes, establishing solidarity across ethnic lines in unfamiliar settings?
In Armenia, Russian anarchists living in exile set one example, supporting Armenian refugees who had squatted the abandoned Ministry of Defense.

It's important to visualize the possibility of success in advance, in order to be prepared to take advantage of it.
The first time a tactic is employed, if it fails, it is often because those employing it do not take it far enough. After that, when a tactic fails, it is usually because those employing it have lost the element of surprise.
We should always prepare for the best-case scenario as well as the worst. Sometimes we only get one chance.

The situation of refugees in Armenia is even more pressing this week, as Azerbaijan resumed military attacks on Nagorno-Karabakh, where tens of thousands of Armenians have been holding out despite decades of interethnic violence.
As Russia loses control over the region and other governments feel emboldened to embark on conquests of their own, war is spreading, displacing more people.

This week, a new round of violence broke out over the contested zone of Nagorno-Karabakh, an Armenian enclave in Azerbaijan.
As economic and ecological crises intensify, governments are seeking to distract attention from their domestic problems by escalating ethnic strife and military conflict.
To illuminate the situation, we present an excerpt from an anti-war statement from Azerbaijan and two texts from anarchists in Armenia.
