Un appello ad agire il Primo Maggio

https://crimethinc.com/2025/04/08/may-day-significa-resistenza-un-appello-ad-agire-il-primo-maggio

In questo Primo Maggio, riunitevi per sfidare la tirannia e l’oppressione. Riunitevi per creare comunità basate sulla solidarietà e sull’aiuto reciproco. Riunitevi con tutti coloro che vogliono una vita migliore. Riunitevi per onorare coloro che hanno combattuto prima di noi. Riunitevi per dimostrare che un altro mondo è possibile.

“This Hotel Is a Detention Center”
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..."

We've added a new "ink lite" version of our zine "There’s No Such Thing as Revolutionary Government," for those who want to make the case that the key to liberation is not to seize state power but to abolish it... without using up too much toner.

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.

May Day significa Resistenza: Un manifesto

"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.

April 15 is Steal Something from Work Day!

A year ago, students established an encampment at Columbia in solidarity with Gaza.

Donald Trump claims that the camp was a hotbed of antisemitism. Anyone who visited knows this is a lie. Who brutalized Jewish students at Columbia? The police did—to punish them for opposing genocide.

The Gaza solidarity encampments that sprang up around the US in response represented the most successful voluntary collaboration between Muslim and Jewish students taking place anywhere in the world. If university administrations claimed it was necessary to destroy them in order to "keep the peace," this reveals what they mean by peace.

In seeking to crush solidarity organizing and smear Jewish anti-Zionists as antisemitic, paving the way for Trump to deport students on account of their beliefs, the university administrations showed that centrism is not an alternative to authoritarianism, but a means of bringing it to power.

Horrifically, the genocide in Gaza continues. Free Palestine.

Centrists are beginning to call for an uprising against Donald Trump. Yet they helped create this situation by working to suppress the powerful social movements of the past decade.

No wonder those who would participate in an uprising are suspicious of those who invested the police with more money and power after the uprising of 2020. That betrayal created the conditions for Trump to return to power.

To involve enough people, any movement against Trump will have to address the material needs of the oppressed. If we don't want autocracy, we must organize against all forms of oppression.

We’ve prepared a poster in homage to Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, the self-styled “street gang with an analysis” active in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the late 1960s. They played an instrumental role in popularizing the concepts of affinity groups and direct action. The text is taken directly from an Up Against the Wall Motherfucker broadside.

In a time of escalating repression and desperation, it is bracing to revisit the avowed optimism of our revolutionary forebears. This optimism concerns not just whether it is possible to win, but what would constitute victory and who stands to benefit.
