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 weekend, we will be tabling on both sides of the US-Canada border!

As thousands of refugees pour into Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh, we've added the perspective of another anarchist in Yerevan to our coverage of the situation.

In this analysis, the author argues that within Armenia, the ongoing Nagorno-Karabakh crisis has been used to quell dissent and discourage criticism of Armenian nationalism. Politicians on both sides of the conflict have used the threat of war to consolidate power and fatten their wallets. Now, despite having been partly responsible for creating this tragedy, the political opposition in Armenia is using Azerbaijan's seizure of the region opportunistically with the same intent as before.

There is no nationalist solution to oppression or war.

Глобальный взгляд на репрессии (2018)

В следующем тексте мы рассмотрим современные модели репрессий против анархистского движения по всему миру, а также некоторые способы ответа со стороны движений. Рассматривая это в контексте того, как репрессии действуют по отношению к более широкому населению, мы можем воспринимать солидарность заключенных как часть более широкой борьбы против тюрем и за свободу для всех людей.

Atlanta/USA-Represje Państwowe Przeciwko Antypolicyjnym Aktywistom

Od początku 2023 r. prokuratorzy w stanie Georgia grozili oskarżeniem aktywistów protestujących przeciwko planowanemu zmilitaryzowanemu obiektowi policji znanemu jako „Cop City” o naruszenie ustawy RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act — ustawa o organizacjach skorumpowanych i pod wpływem reketierów). W zeszłym tygodniu prokurator generalny stanu Georgia Chris Carr oskarżył 61 osób o naruszenie ustawy RICO w hrabstwie Fulton.

Bezkrytycznie łącząc dziesiątki aresztowanych, z których wielu nigdy się nie spotkało, w sfabrykowaną sprawę spisku, prokuratura próbuje kryminalizować sam protest.

Today, for the second time in three years, a proponent of colonialism shot someone protesting the statue honoring genocidal conquistador Don Juan de Oñate.

For years, far-right politicians, pundits, and prosecutors have encouraged their followers to engage in shootings and vehicular attacks.
