One year ago today, Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire at the gate of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC as an act of protest against the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

The scale of the tragedy in Gaza exceeds anything we can understand from the United States. Aaron was determined not to passively accept it.

Today, in Aaron's memory, let us pledge ourselves once more to solidarity with Palestinians—to fight against genocide, ethnic cleansing, and all forms of colonialism.

In this memorial, we share Aaron’s summary of his anarchist politics, with testimony from his friends.

"I am an anarchist, which means I believe in the abolition of all hierarchical power structures, especially capitalism and the state… I believe that any hierarchical power structure is bound to reproduce class dynamics and oppression. Thus, I want to engage in egalitarian forms of organizing that produce horizontal power structures based on mutual aid and solidarity."

This Saturday, March 1, people will gather at Tesla outlets around the world to demonstrate against Elon Musk's efforts to consolidate autocracy. This is an opportunity to point to the origins of authoritarianism in the capitalist economy.

Here is a flier design you can print and distribute:

The Ex-Worker podcast: It’s Safer in the Front

https://crimethinc.com/exworker110

Seeking safety by avoiding confrontation is not likely to be an effective strategy in a time of escalating political conflict.

In this audio zine, we present a series of anecdotes from the original rise of fascism in Germany to various anarchist mobilizations spanning the 21st century, all of which bear out the seemingly counterintuitive slogan "It’s safer in the front."

We've produced a zine version of "Become an Anarchist or Forever Hold Your Peace":

https://crimethinc.com/zines/become-an-anarchist-or-forever-hold-your-peace

Please print and distribute!

"Anarchists seek to bring about a situation in which no politician or billionaire, elected or not, could ever be in a position to cut off essential resources to millions of people with the flick of a pen. This is a profounder commitment to freedom, equality, and the well-being of the general public than one can find within the halls of any government." 🏴

Today, on the two-year anniversary of a train crash in Greece that killed 57 people, a general strike took place to protest the complicity of the authorities in the conditions that caused the accident.

Many hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Athens. After the speeches ended, tens of thousands of people engaged in conflict with the police all afternoon, including anarchists, students, and others.

The train crash was the result of the same kind of capitalist kleptocracy that is afflicting people in the United States and elsewhere around the world. The more power the capitalist class concentrates in their hands, the more the rest of us will be exposed to danger in train and airplane crashes, pandemics, climate disasters, and other catastrophes. This is inevitable when there are vast disparities in wealth and power.

Like those in the streets of Athens, we must become capable of defending ourselves.

For background on the reigning right-wing government in Greece:

Седем мита за полицията

https://crimethinc.com/2011/10/25/siediem-mita-za-politsiiata

Можем ли да разчитаме на полицията за нещо? Дали тя наистина упражняват законна власт и над кого всъщност? Нужна ли ни е полицията, за да ни защити и от кого, при положение, че тя е част от репресивния йерархичен начин на мислене на доминация и дискриминация и целта на съществуването ѝ е да пази не нас, а статуквото, доминиращия ред и елитите? Защо анархистите никога не са разчитали на полицията, а на самоорганизация и самоотбрана?

The power grab that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are carrying out in Washington, DC is just one aspect of a much bigger phenomenon. At every level of society, executives are asserting totalitarian control over whatever they can get their hands on. We are seeing the emergence of a caste of billionaires who no longer believe that they need to preserve any veneer of democracy.

Trump and Musk are the ones who are currently attracting the most attention, but behind them are Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and many more. The individual character flaws of these men are beside the point; the significant thing is that the mechanisms of neoliberal capitalism are systematically concentrating power in the hands of people who are completely disinterested in others’ agency or well-being.

This is why milquetoast centrism cannot offer a convincing alternative to the despotism of the fascists and technocrats.

Become an anarchist or forever hold your peace.

Срещу апартейда и тиранията

В следното изявление, ирански феминистки обясняват защо е и възможно, и необходимо да се подкрепи палестинската борба за освобождение, без да се подкрепя иранското правителство.

ТЪНКАТА СИНЯ ЛИНИЯ Е НАЖЕЖАЕМА ЖИЧКА

Защо всяка борба днес е и борба срещу полицията

https://crimethinc.com/2014/11/25/tnkata-sinia-liniia-ie-nazhiezhaiema-zhichka-zashcho-vsiaka-borba-dnies-ie-i-borba-srieshchu-politsiiata

Движената от печалбите икономика създава вечно разширяващи се пропасти между богатите и бедните. Но колкото повече дисбаланси съществуват в обществото — расови, икономически и всякакви, — толкова по-груба сила е необходима, за да ги налага.

Това обяснява военизирането на полицията.

ЖЪЛТИТЕ ЖИЛЕТКИ ВЪВ ФРАНЦИЯ

МЕЖДУ “ЕКОЛОГИЧНИЯ” НЕОЛИБЕРАЛИЗЪМ И “АПОЛИТИЧНИТЕ” ДВИЖЕНИЯ

Видно е, че неолибералният капитализъм не дава решения на проблема с климатичните промени: освен да обремени допълнително бедните, а когато гневът на бедните се въплъти в реакционно, консуматорско възмущение, се отварят възможности пред крайно дясното.

Русия: В очакване колелото на историята да се завърти

Размисли за първата фаза на руското антивоенно движение

https://crimethinc.com/2022/03/31/rusiia-v-ochakvanie-kolieloto-na-istoriiata-da-sie-zavrti-razmisli-za-prvata-faza-na-ruskoto-antivoienno-dvizhieniie

Първата фаза на антивоенното движение в Русия е към своя край, потискано предимно с груба сила. В настоящия материал обсъждаме залозите на тези протести, споделяме размисли на руски анархисти за причините, поради които демонстрациите се сблъскаха със стената, и представяме преводи на четири статии от руски анархистки и феминистки групи, които изследват защо се противопоставят на войната, какви предизвикателства са срещнали и как възнамеряват да продължат напред.

Съдържанието на твоя всекидневен живот

https://crimethinc.com/2000/09/11/sdrzhaniieto-na-tvoia-vsiekidnievien-zhivot

По колко часа на ден прекарваш пред телевизионния екран? Пред компютъра? Зад волана?

Колко време отделяш общо за трите? Защо се изолираш и криеш? Гледането на нещо по вълнуващо ли е от правенето на нещо? Имаш ли достатъчно време да направиш всички неща, които желаеш?
