Спустя четыре месяца после нападения на Газу израильские военные вытеснили более миллиона беженцев к границе с Египтом и теперь бомбят их, угрожая организовать наземное наступление. В следующем тексте Йонатан Поллак, давний участник организации Анархисты против стены и других инициатив антиколониальной солидарности объясняет, почему нам не следует обращаться к международным институтам или протестным движениям внутри израильского общества, чтобы положить конец геноциду в секторе Газа, и призывает простых людей к действию.

"Love is a quality of attention, a sensitivity to the world and everything that is possible in it. When we fight on the basis of what we love, rather than in service of ideology or cowardice, we open ourselves to serve as a channel through which everything beautiful in the world can defend itself. To choose love is to choose to keep feeling the blows when others are under attack—everyone facing felony charges, everyone threatened with deportation, all the rivers and animals and plants that sustain us despite all the violence inflicted upon them. Love is not reducible to peace."

As Egypt builds a five-meter-high concrete wall to seal off a five-square-kilometer area along the Gaza border, we cannot help but think of the "no-go zone" on the border of Poland and Belarus, in which thousands of refugees have been enclosed over a period of years, trapped between countries, left to die.

Since 2021, the government of Belarus has used thousands of refugees displaced by wars in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ethiopia, and elsewhere to exert pressure on the European Union. EU governments have left these refugees in limbo between two militarized borders, establishing a restricted zone so that observers cannot see them die.
The majority of the inhabitants of Gaza were already refugees from other parts of Palestine. The world has turned a blind eye to Israeli ethnic cleansing in Gaza. If we permit them to complete that process by forcing the survivors into a containment zone across the Egyptian border, it will set a precedent that will be repeated elsewhere.

Russian opposition politician Aleksei Navalny has died in prison, presumably murdered on the orders of Vladimir Putin.
In the run-up to the rigged Russian elections this March, the puppet opposition figure Boris Nadezhdin became a rallying point for genuine anti-war sentiment and subsequently began to act in defiance of the Kremlin—not unlike how Yevgeny Prigozhin began as Putin's lackey but eventually struck out on his own. In this context, Putin likely feels that he cannot afford to permit any opposition figure to remain alive.

Navalny himself did not represent the kind of alternative to Putin we desire. As a Russian anarchist put it a couple years ago,
"Navalny is an opportunistic ultra-nationalist bigot of a politician who paints himself as a populist using a narrative of anti-corruption politics that would only prop up a different batch of oligarchs."
Still, the protests when Navalny was arrested in 2021 were arguably one of the last expressions of the kind of mass resistance that could have prevented the invasion of Ukraine:

(See attached video.)
The recent events in Russia show that when authoritarians like Putin or Donald Trump gain power, it is only the beginning of the bloodshed.
But the tendency to rally around opposition figures rather than developing horizontal networks of resistance is part of the problem.

“Every leader kills people, including my leader. Every leader kills people. Some kill more than others. Leadership requires killing people.”
-Tucker Carlson
Liberal outrage over Carlson saying this to excuse Vladimir Putin—immediately before Putin had Alexei Navalny killed—is beside the point. Supporters of Carlson, Putin, and Donald Trump admire killers. Liberals are only offering a more milquetoast version of the same vertical political model. This puts them at a disadvantage today.
The anarchist alternative is to seek to distribute agency horizontally: not to worship leaders and glorify the state and its violence, but to become capable of self-determination, making it impossible for anyone to impose systematic violence through the state. In the long run, this is the only real alternative to authoritarianism.

"Leadership is a social disorder in which the majority of participants in a group fail to take initiative or think critically about their actions. As long as we understand agency as a property of specific individuals rather than a relationship between people, we will always be dependent on leaders—and at their mercy. Truly exemplary leaders are as dangerous as the obviously corrupt, in that all their praiseworthy qualities only reinforce their status and others’ deference, not to mention the legitimacy of leadership itself."

"After all these years, it still seems to us that revolution is not simply a matter of resistance, but of changing the ways we relate: to each other, to our own lives, to the world we otherwise take for granted. We maintain that the processes of experimentation and insurrection cannot be separated. It is as pressing to interrupt the received routines of this society—yes, even our conventional relationship to bicycles—as it is to destroy the means by which our rulers hold power. In fact, these are one and the same: one must plot a surprise party the way one would strategize for an attack, and vice versa. We should stand up to our oppressors the way we would sit down to a feast."

"Whether you begin with performance art and arrive at the conclusion that our entire civilization has to be transformed, or humorlessly set out to make war on capitalism only to discover that you can’t win by vandalism alone, play and revolt are as inextricable as creation and destruction. Whimsy must arm itself to survive in this world; militants must win hearts to triumph. Whether you fancy yourself an artist or an insurgent, it takes courage to acknowledge this and act accordingly.
To change everything, start anywhere—so long as you don’t stop there."

8 senzilles passes cap a la Revolució
https://crimethinc.com/2012/02/09/8-senzilles-passes-cap-a-la-revolucio
El secret és començar. Fins que no hi ha res nou passant, alguna cosa que interrompi l’statu quo, ningú té motius per a prestar-nos atenció. Intentar establir un diàleg al buit no és suficient: perquè la gent es prengui seriosament el que diem, ha de tenir alguna cosa de què parlar. No ens limitem a proclamar que un altre món és possible: manifestem-ho, de manera que tothom que hi pugui creure, ho faci. No parlem només d’abolir el Capitalisme: escollim un punt de pressió, provem-lo i observem qui s’hi apunta.

Donald Trump claiming that George Washington "probably didn’t” own slaves is a good opportunity to direct you to our extensive history of the slaves and indentured servants who sought to escape from him and the Native Americans who defended themselves against his attacks.

Anarchists in southern Brazil discuss the role of capitalism and the state in both causing and exacerbating the catastrophic floods of May 2024, and explore the role of direct action in solidarity efforts in response.
Includes an interview with participants in a decades-running squatted social center that was submerged for 24 days.

Our comrades in Argentina are facing a financial crisis, skyrocketing inflation, and state repression all at once. But this means that funds from outside Argentina can go disproportionately far towards keeping their projects afloat. Please help us to support the last remaining anti-fascist social center and sports club in Buenos Aires:
