In March 1921, an uprising on the island fortress of Kronstadt brought the conflict within the Russian revolution to a head, pitting those who desired to reorganize life via horizontally organized workers’ councils [soviets] against those pursuing a one-party dictatorship.

Want to understand the values and goals of the participants in the Kronstadt revolt? The best place to start is to read the daily paper they produced. We've published all fourteen issues here in translation:

As Donald Trump's tariffs go into effect, imposing gratuitous financial burdens on ordinary people on both sides of the borders, let's remember that the original resistance to neoliberalism came from anti-capitalists who wanted to "make the earth a common treasury for all," not reactionary nationalists trying to return to the Gilded Age.

At the high point of the movement against capitalist globalization, hundreds of thousands of protesters repeatedly shut down global trade summits in order to call for a more equitable distribution of resources and agency. Anarchists were at the forefront of this, calling for the reinvention of the commons.

Neoliberals and neoconservatives cooperated to suppress the so-called "anti-globalization" movement by brute force. As a result, nationalists like Trump were able to pretend to be the only alternative to neoliberalism.

But the nationalists only offer an even worse form of capitalism.

We keep hearing a binary narrative in which criminal oligarchs are undermining the rule of law.

It would be more precise to identify three camps:

—centrists who fetishize the rule of law as a good in and of itself;

—oligarchs aiming to overhaul the current courts and laws to be even more brutal;

—and those who reject both camps in favor of real freedom and equality.

We keep hearing a binary narrative in which criminal oligarchs are undermining the rule of law. It would be more precise to identify three camps: —centrists who fetishize the rule of law as a good in and of itself; —oligarchs aiming to overhaul the current…
In the first camp, we find those who believe that a certain amount of self-determination is acceptable, as long as it falls neatly within whatever laws happen to be on the books. They are also at ease with a wide range of ruthless self-seeking oppressive activity, provided it complies with the law.

In the second camp, we find those who are determined to consolidate power in their own hands, regardless of what laws happen to be on the books. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their various capitalist and fascist backers aim to replace the current laws and courts with something even worse.

In the third camp, we find those who believe that regardless of what laws happen to be on the books, no one should be able to dominate anyone else—whether by hoarding access to resources or wielding the instruments of state repression.

There is no excuse for tyranny.

Срещата на Г20 в Хамбург и въпросът с насилието

https://crimethinc.com/2017/07/05/nieprieksnato-zhivo-pokritiie-na-sprotiva-srieshchu-g20-v-khamburgh-chietiri-diena-pochasovi-dokladi

Когато и да се стигне до улични сблъсъци, като тези по време на настоящата среща на лидерите от Г20 в Хамбург, свикналите да приемат държавното и полицейско насилие като нещо нормално и неразделна част от ежедневния живот бързат да изкажат своето възмущение от това да видят как други хора се защитават и опълчват срещу това насилие. Точно така — полицейските сили, тежко въоръжени със смъртоносни оръжия, упражняват груба сила срещу невъоръжени граждани, а гражданите от своя страна биват обвинявани за това, че се опитват да ги спрат. Нещо май не е наред тук?

“L’unico immigrato che cerca di rubarmi il lavoro è Elon Musk”

Un autista d’autobus descrive come i tagli che Elon Musk sta effettuando nel governo federale si stiano ripercuotendo sui normali lavoratori del trasporto pubblico.

Without the ever-escalating violence of amoral mercenaries, it would be impossible to preserve the disparities in wealth and power that make it possible for men like Elon Musk to buy up elections while millions go hungry.

Abolish billionaires. Abolish the police.

On March 8, Department of Homeland Security agents kidnapped Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and grad student at Columbia University.

Khalil had permanent residency in the United States. Trump's fascist state department arbitrarily revoked it. They are holding him in Louisiana, over a thousand miles from home.

First they came for the Palestinians. Martin Niemöller's poem is happening right now.

Today, people will demonstrate in solidarity with Mahmoud Khalil in New York City.

Some demonstrators will be distributing this flier. You can print out copies here yourself:

"We face powerful adversaries, but the majority of people, including many of their current supporters, have good reason to oppose them alongside us. If we bring people together, if we demonstrate effective ways to fight back, putting our own risk tolerance at the disposal of larger struggles, many more people will eventually join us."

It's safer in the front.

Η ΑΣΤΥΝΟΜΙΑ

https://crimethinc.com/posters/e-astunomia

Αυτοί που πυροβόλησαν και σκότωσαν τον Αλέξανδρο Γρηγορόπουλο και τον Μιχάλη Καλτεζά όταν ήταν και οι δύο μόλις 15 ετών. Αυτοί που επιτίθενται σε φοιτητές, όπως έκαναν στον Αυγουστίνο Δημητρίου. Αυτοί που ξυλοκόπησαν βάναυσα την Σταματίνα Κανελλοπούλου και τον Ιάκωβο Κουμή, με αποτέλεσμα να πεθάνουν στο νοσοκομείο. Αυτοί που έδειραν τον Χρήστο Χρονόπουλο μέχρι αναπηρίας στο αστυνομικό τμήμα τους. Αυτοί που χτυπάνε φωτορεπόρτερ που κάνουν τη δουλειά τους, όπως έκαναν στην Τατιάνα Μπόλαρη. Αυτοί που βαράνε απεργούς με πυροσβεστήρες, όπως έκαναν στον Γιάννη Καυκά. Αυτοί που στέκονται ανάμεσα σε κάθε πεινασμένο άτομο και τα ράφια γεμάτα φαγητό, ανάμεσα σε κάθε άστεγο και τα άδεια κτήρια, ανάμεσα σε κάθε μετανάστρια και την οικογένειά της.

Σε κάθε χώρα, σε κάθε εποχή, μας λέτε πως είστε απαραίτητοι, πως χωρίς εσάς θα σκοτωνόμασταν όλοι μεταξύ μας.

Αλλά ξέρουμε πολύ καλά ποιοι είναι οι δολοφόνοι.

Επτά Μύθοι για την Αστυνομία

https://crimethinc.com/2011/10/25/epta-muthoi-gia-ten-astunomia

Η απονομιμοποίηση της αστυνομίας δεν είναι επωφελής μόνο για όσους στοχοποιούνται, αλλά και για τις οικογένειες των αστυνομικών και τους ίδιους τους αστυνομικούς. Οι αστυνομικοί όχι μόνο έχουν δυσανάλογα υψηλά ποσοστά ενδοοικογενειακής βίας και παιδικής κακοποίησης, αλλά είναι επίσης πιο πιθανό να σκοτωθούν, να αυτοκτονήσουν και να παλέψουν με τον εθισμό από ότι οι περισσότεροι τομείς της κοινωνίας. Οτιδήποτε ενθαρρύνει τους αστυνομικούς να εγκαταλείψουν τη δουλειά τους είναι προς το συμφέρον τους, καθώς και προς το συμφέρον των αγαπημένων τους προσώπων και της κοινωνίας γενικότερα. Ας δημιουργήσουμε έναν κόσμο στον οποίο κανείς δεν καταπιέζει ή καταπιέζεται, στον οποίο κανείς δεν χρειάζεται να ζει με φόβο.

«Μάθετε τι ακριβώς θα υποκύψει ήσυχα οποιοσδήποτε λαός και έχετε βρει το ακριβές μέτρο της αδικίας και του λάθους που θα του επιβληθεί, και αυτό θα συνεχιστεί μέχρι να αντισταθούν είτε με λόγια είτε με χτυπήματα είτε και με τα δύο.»

-Φρέντερικ Ντάγκλας

Then They Came for the Palestinians: How to Respond to the Kidnapping of Mahmoud Khalil

https://crimethinc.com/MahmoudKhalil

We explore the strategy of the Trump administration in targeting a Palestinian activist and what is at stake in our response. For perspective, we present the experiences of anarchists whose comrade was similarly kidnapped for participating in the Occupy ICE movement in San Antonio, Texas in 2018.

CrimethInc. сообщают об аресте с целью последующей депортации Махмуда Халила, аспиранта Колумбийского университета в Нью-Йорке, участника и организатора демонстраций против устроенного государством Израиль геноцида в Секторе Газа. Махмуд Халил — обладатель постоянного вида на жительство в США. Однако этот статус был отозван в рамках нового витка репрессий против палестинского движения, начатого с приходом к власти Трампа. Трамп лично прокомментировал задержание Махмуда, написал в своей социальной сети «Truth Social», что это «первый арест среди многих, которые последуют». Солидарные с Махмудом Халилом люди, в том числе анархист:ки, в эти дни организуются, чтобы выступить против репрессий.

На первый взгляд, новость об аресте участника палестинского движения в США кажется малоактуальной в нашем пост-советском контексте. Но это только на первый взгляд. События последних лет — подавление народного восстания в Беларуси, полномасштабная война в Украине, небывалый размах репрессий в России — привели к появлению на Западе довольно внушительного сообщества политизированных выходцев из этих стран. Предпринимаются попытки организовываться, заявлять о своей субъектности. И тут необходимо обратить внимание на опыт сообществ, которые уже многие годы сталкиваются на Западе с криминализацией, репрессиями, объявлениями «террорист:ками», с запретами организаций и депортациями, — например, на опыт курдского и палестинского сообществ. Потому что с подобным опытом можем столкнуться и мы.

Ситуация на Западе неблагоприятная. С одной стороны, растущая милитаризация ведёт к стремлению подавить все общественные силы, не вписывающиеся в государственнический консенсус и представления о «единой нации, вставшей на защиту своей безопасности». Особенно анархисто:к, тем более мигранто:к и бежен:ок. С другой стороны, всё чаще на Западе к власти приходят ультраправые силы, желающие «договориться» с путинским режимом, разделить с ним сферы влияния в колонизированных странах. Тот же Трамп. Это также не придаёт устойчивости нашему положению. Сегодня террорист:ками объявляют курдов и палестинцев. А завтра? Тех, кто выступает за партизанское сопротивление в России и Беларуси?

Опыт подвергающихся гонениям сообществ может стать и нашим. Поэтому важна солидарность, взаимопомощь, готовность приходить друг другу на помощь, бороться друг за друга.

E poi vennero a prendere i palestinesi

Come reagire al rapimento di Mahmoud Khalil

https://crimethinc.com/2025/03/11/poi-arrivarono-per-i-palestinesi-come-reagire-al-rapimento-di-mahmoud-khalil

L’8 marzo, gli agenti del Dipartimento di Sicurezza Nazionale hanno rapito Mahmoud Khalil, un attivista palestinese e studente laureato alla Columbia University che aveva la residenza permanente negli Stati Uniti. Il Dipartimento di Stato di Donald Trump ha revocato arbitrariamente la sua residenza. Stanno trattenendo Khalil in Louisiana, a più di mille miglia da casa sua.

Questo fa parte del giro di vite promesso da Donald Trump sull’attivismo di solidarietà con la Palestina alla Columbia University e in altre scuole del Paese. Soprattutto, però, è un test, e il modo in cui rispondiamo determinerà ciò che accadrà in seguito al resto di noi, come ha descritto Martin Niemöller nella sua nota poesia.
