"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.

Two years ago today, three anarchists were killed in battle near Bakhmut: an American named Cooper Andrews, an Irishman named Finbar Cafferkey, and a Russian named Dmitry Petrov. People in our networks have shared undertakings with all three of these comrades over the years.

In this eulogy, we explore the life of Dmitry Petrov, which doubles as a snapshot of the past two decades of struggle in the post-Soviet world.

As the United States descends further into autocracy, we have much to learn from Dmitry, who courageously fought tyranny in Russia, Belarus, Syria, and Ukraine. 🏴

Longevity is important.

It is how we pass on collective memory from one movement to the next, from one generation to the next. It is how we let new participants know it is safe to invest themselves fully in this struggle, showing that it can be the calling of a lifetime, through the best of times and the worst of times.

We'll still be doing this next year—and in 30 years.

Anarchiści na fali protestów w Indonezji

https://crimethinc.com/2024/09/23/anarchisci-na-fali-protestow-w-indonezji

W sierpniu 2024 r. Indonezją wstrząsnęła fala protestów, rzekomo w odpowiedzi na polityczne machinacje mające na celu namaszczenie następcy prezydenta Joko Widodo, popularnie zwanego Jokowi. W anglojęzycznym świecie pojawiło się bardzo niewiele informacji na temat tych protestów. Aby poznać głębsze aspekty tych wydarzeń, skontaktowaliśmy się z anarchistami z różnych części Indonezji.
