"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:

Happy birthday to Emma Goldman, born on this day in 1869—a fierce anarchist and lifelong adversary of every form of oppression.

“The history of the political activities of men proves that they have given him absolutely nothing that he could not have achieved in a more direct, less costly, and more lasting manner. As a matter of fact, every inch of ground he has gained has been through a constant fight, a ceaseless struggle for self-assertion, and not through suffrage.”
– Emma Goldman, “Women Suffrage”

The horrific spectacle of the presidential debate—a mendacious aspiring autocrat against a doddering genocide denier—shows the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the factions competing to determine the future of capitalism.
The fact that only a couple hundred people showed up to demonstrate against the spectacle shows how much we have yet to do to be ready for the crises that are upon us.
Hurry to find people you can organize with. Our only hope is grassroots change. 🏴

Six mois dans une dystopie néolibérale
Cannibalisme social contre entraide et résistance en Argentine
https://crimethinc.com/2024/06/17/six-mois-dans-une-dystopie-neoliberale-cannibalisme-social-contre-entraide-et-resistance-en-argentine-1
En décembre 2023, Javier Milei est arrivé au pouvoir en Argentine, introduisant des mesures radicales d’austérité et de déréglementation. En promettant d’écraser les mouvements sociaux au nom d’un capitalisme débridé, son administration ouvre la voie à un effondrement social complet et à l’émergence d’une narco-violence à grande échelle. Notre correspondant dresse un tableau saisissant des forces et des visions rivales qui se disputent l’avenir de l’Argentine, dont le point culminant le plus récent ont été les affrontements du 12 juin, lorsque des manifestants militants ont affronté près de trois mille policiers encerclant un congrès barricadé.
