If people thought about real issues and needs instead of manufactured desires, the economy would collapse and we'd have total anarchy.

We've prepared a zine version of "The Case for Resistance."
https://crimethinc.com/zines/the-case-for-resistance
In this analysis, we explore what we can expect from Donald Trump’s second term and how we can prepare to confront it.
Please print and distribute these!
"The lesson is clear. We will only get what we win by our own efforts. The Trump era was not a historical anomaly. It’s not behind us. We are still in it, and we can only get through it by fighting."

Strategizing to Stop Mass Deportations
We've prepared a freestanding zine version of the appendix to "The Case for Resistance," exploring what it would look like to mobilize against Trump's promise to carry out "the largest mass deportation in US history."
https://crimethinc.com/zines/strategizing-to-stop-mass-deportations
Mass deportations will require massive logistics and infrastructure, which offer a host of opportunities for intervention.
“In 2017, a single mass occupation at JFK Airport in New York sparked occupations involving tens of thousands of people around the country. Tactics spread rapidly when they are inspiring. What can you and your community do, right now, to prepare to inspire nationwide resistance to the deportation machine?” 🏴

Insurgent Survival: Reflections on the Fight Against Sweeps Targeting the Homeless in Austin, Texas
https://crimethinc.com/StoptheSweeps
In 2019, militants in Austin, Texas started an organization with the aim of defending homeless camps against sweeps—forced removals disguised as “cleanups” carried out by police and work crews. We explore the history of Stop the Sweeps and the strategic thinking behind it, seeking to distill lessons about autonomous organization that can aid revolutionaries in future struggles.
"The camp is an image of the future—a future in which increased economic precarity, climate crises, wars, and state repression produce new waves of displacement and migration, and new forms of repression and managerial governance arise in response."

Today we give thanks for Indigenous resistance all around the world. All of us stand to gain from putting an end to the violence of colonialism.

On November 27, 1884—in defiance of that day's Thanksgiving festivities—anarchists in the United States marched with the black flag for the first time, in a demonstration protesting poverty and explicitly calling for the forcible abolition of property and wage labor. This was documented in the anarchist paper The Alarm. 🏴

Размышляя о движении «Захвати Уолл-стрит» тринадцать лет спустя
https://ru.crimethinc.com/2024/09/17/razmyshliaia-o-dvizhienii-trinadtsat-liet-spustia
Тринадцать лет назад тысяча демонстрантов вышла на Уолл-стрит, оккупировав парк Зукотти и запустив то, что стало известно как движение «Захвати» (Occupy). Рассматривая эти события сегодня, мы видим, насколько изменился ландшафт социальных движений на фоне поляризации общества. Организаторы движения «Захвати Уолл-стрит» стремились создать движение, которое объединило бы всё общество против правящего порядка и тех немногих, кто от него выигрывает, мобилизуясь под лозунгом «Мы – 99%». Сегодня разногласия, разделяющие наше общество, только углубились, что делает социальные изменения ещё сложнее. Однако это только подчёркивает важность наследия движения «Захвати».

The billionaires want us to spent our lives on a treadmill of exploitation and consumption—producing a profit for them in the workplace, then buying back the products of our labor in our leisure time so they get us coming and going.
No wage, and nothing we could buy on the market, could make it worth giving up the precious hours of our lives and turning the world over to their destructive control. We only do those things because we have not yet worked out how to defend ourselves.
But the hour is becoming late, indeed.

WTO Anniversary Reading List
Today marks 25 years since anarchists and other protesters shut down the summit of the World Trade Organization in Seattle. This was the public debut of what journalists dubbed the “anti-globalization movement”—in fact, a global movement against neoliberal capitalism.
This analysis explores the origins of that movement and what it can teach us today:
https://crimethinc.com/wtoepilogue
***
For a strategic analysis of how anarchists and other rebels were able to successfully blockade the WTO summit, we recommend "Netwar in the Emerald City," included in our zine N30, which you can print here:
https://crimethinc.com/zines/n30-the-seattle-wto-protests
***
For a spirited account from the front line in the streets on November 30, 1999, read "The Power Is Running":
https://crimethinc.com/WTO
***
In 1999, opposing neoliberalism was an extremist position. Decades later, Donald Trump appropriated this narrative and rode it to victory. This was only possible because of reformist currents in the original movement—and because we hadn't overthrown capitalism ourselves.
https://anarchistagency.com/trump-and-the-legacy-of-the-anti-globalization-movement/
Studying the WTO protests, we can learn how a relatively small number of people can act effectively when they organize horizontally and ambitiously—and grasp the stakes of today's fights.
The struggle continues. 🏴
