The fact that Elon Musk's attempt to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court failed despite $25+ million in propaganda and bribery shows that there is still a force more powerful than greed.
But everyone knows that force is hatred of fascist billionaires—not support for the Democratic Party.
The Democrats represent authoritarianism lite. It was their neoliberal policies that concentrated so much power in Elon Musk's hands in the first place.
To abolish the structures that produce billionaire supervillains, we will have to do a lot more than vote. We will have to bring about fundamental shifts in how we relate to resources. This will require grassroots networks taking direct action.

At the turn of the century, during the movement against capitalist globalization, we used to say that it was a travesty that products could move across national borders more easily than human beings.
The solution is not to impose more controls on products as well as on human beings.
The tariffs are not intended to benefit the United States economy, nor the capitalist class as a whole. They chiefly benefit Donald Trump and his lackeys, functioning as a tool with which they can punish adversaries and negotiate for personal gain.
This is a hallmark of authoritarian rule.
The arbitrary and autocratic state policy exemplified by these tariffs is emerging as a consequence of the tremendous disparities in wealth and power that the neoliberal world order produced.
The solution is not to try to go back to neoliberalism, but to abolish capitalism.

Like the toppling of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, the ouster of South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol should give pause to all mercenaries who sell their capacity to inflict violence to whoever happens to control the government.
If you do harm to people in the service of a despot, and the despot loses power, what do you think will happen to you?

A complete guide to assembling and employing lockboxes and other means of blockading.
There is a broad spectrum of tactics to choose from between simply holding up a protest sign and setting things on fire. If you are looking to intensify a pressure campaign or to stand your ground more effectively when challenged, consider these means of holding space over a long period of time.

"Before 1914, the earth had belonged to all. People went where they wished and stayed as long as they pleased. There were no permits, no visas, and it always gives me pleasure to astonish the young by telling them that before 1914, I travelled from Europe to India and America without a passport and without ever having seen one."
-Stefan Zweig
Borders as we know them are a recent concoction.
The passport system as we know it dates to the First World War. ICE was founded in 2003 as part of the so-called "War on Terror," a disaster for freedom in every way.
These institutions are neither timeless nor beneficial nor inevitable.

The old world is in flames around us.
There is no more middle ground. If you care about public health—if you care about medical research—if you care about climate change, labor conditions, the well-being of children in war zones, the price of groceries—you have to become a revolutionary.

An Account from the Front Lines of the Fight against Deportations in 1999 France

"As the first brave souls climb through the window and into the hallway, it becomes clear that the cops have something else in mind. They begin to push and shove people, trying to muscle them down the hallway and toward the stairs. Preferring to stick to the original plan, our comrades meet the baton swings with kicks and blows..."

ICE posted—and then deleted—this advertisement on Instagram and the fascist-owned platform X/Twitter, announcing themselves as the thought police stopping ideas from entering the United States.
It's not just about attacking undocumented people, or immigrants, or dissidents—they aim to prevent thought itself.
If Hitler's Nazi Party were still in power today, its Instagram feed would look exactly like the ICE Instagram: a series of photographs of captured, brutalized human beings.
ICE represents fascism. Resist by all means.

"Abolish ICE" sounded like a radical demand to Democrats, though ICE itself only dates to 2003.
Today, it should be clear to even the most deluded liberals that if you establish institutions for the sole purpose of brutalizing people, authoritarians will inevitably use them to consolidate power.

The billionaires know that fossil fuels and power-intensive AI are rendering the earth uninhabitable. That's what their bunkers are for.
But even more than bunkers, they're investing in surveillance and repression.
They're not afraid of the end of the world.
They're afraid we'll try to save it.

Every year, alongside many others, we observe April 15 as Steal Something from Work Day—an opportunity to reflect on the causes and implications of workplace theft.
https://crimethinc.com/StealfromWork2025
This year, we turn our focus to so-called “Robin Hood employees”—those who steal from their workplaces in order to share with others. Loss prevention professionals allege that Robin Hood employees inflict losses on corporations much more efficiently than ordinary shoplifters or employees who only steal for their own benefit.
In other words, when it comes to redistributing wealth, the most effective approach is not to take things for yourself, but to share them with everyone.

25 years ago today, on April 16, 2000, tens of thousands of people gathered in Washington, DC to take action against the meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. Building on the mobilization that shut down the summit of the World Trade Organization in Seattle the previous November, they sought to demonstrate the virtues of global solidarity as an alternative to neoliberal capitalist globalization.

"The black bloc came at that moment when blood was streaming down people’s faces and essentially pushed the police out of our intersection. They were just this wall of bodies that pushed them out and saved our intersection from any further police abuse. I’ve forever been grateful to that black bloc for hearing on the walkie talkies that we needed help and coming so powerfully to our aid."
