For December 30, the day commemorating Dr. José Rizal, icon of the Philippine Republic, we present a Filipino anarchist discussion about how the veneration of national heroes serves to suppress the same struggle they supposedly represent.

Trump is not going to seize power in a belated coup. Rather, the far-right convergence in DC this week is a means of building a base for the next round of street violence.
Conspiracy theories won't keep Trump in office—but they lay the groundwork to expand the fascist movement.
In this light, the liberal campaign to keep counter-protesters off the streets is especially irresponsible. They aim to consolidate their electoral victory to seize the initiative from last summer's ungovernable street movements, even if it means ceding the streets to fascists.
There are three sides in this struggle:
—nationalists + fascists
—anarchists + anti-fascists
—neoliberal centrists (including most Democrats and a few Republicans), who have very different concerns than those who will be worst impacted by the growing fascist street movement.

The White House has effectively brought back the Anarchist Exclusion Act of 1903/1918, seeking to exclude people from the US for simply for opposing fascism.
Incidentally, liberal politicians like Portland's Ted Wheeler are equally complicit in creating the conditions for this.

As the smoke clears in Washington, DC after Trump supporters stormed the capitol building—some preliminary thoughts.
Today's events will discredit Trump supporters in the eyes of centrists, but it will also push the envelope regarding what is acceptable. This may help the far right recruit locally countrywide and could normalize similar actions in the future.
The state clampdown after this will suppress freedoms across the board, targeting all forms of dissent. In Turkey, when Erdoğan put down a right-wing military coup, that paved the way for him to repress every form of protest.
State repression of the right will follow the playbook they use against our movements—incorporating reformist elements while isolating and destroying "extreme" elements.
If the only pressure on the government is from the far right, the state will make concessions to them.
Proponents of liberation should not remain spectators, hoping the state will protect us. Let's use this opportunity to reach out to others in our communities to organize against local far-right efforts and also against forthcoming state repression and economic/ecological crisis.

Nachdem Trump-Supporter:innen das Kapitol stürmten lichtet sich der Rauch in Washington, DC – einige vorläufige Gedanken.
Die heutigen Ereignisse werden Trump-Anhänger:innen in den Augen der Zentrist:innen diskreditieren, sie werden aber auch das Fenster dessen was akzeptabel ist verschieben. Sie können der äußeren Rechten helfen lokal und landesweit zu rekrutieren und ähnliche Aktionen in Zukunft normalisieren.
Das erwartbare staatliche Vorgehen wird Freiheiten auf ganzer Linien unterdrücken und gegen alle Formen des Dissens vorgehen. Als Erdoğan in der Türkei einen rechten Militärputsch niederschlug, ebnete genau das den Weg für ihn jede Form von Protest zu unterdrücken.
Die staatliche Repression gegen die Rechte wird dem Drehbuch folgen, das sie gegen unsere Bewegungen verwenden – reformistische Elemente einbinden und ›extreme‹ Elemente isolieren und zerstören.
Wenn der einzige Druck auf die Regierung von rechts-außen kommt, wird der Staat Zugeständnisse an sie machen.
Befürworter:innen der Freiheit sollten keine Zuschauer:innen bleiben; nicht still darauf hoffen das der Staat uns beschützt. Lasst uns diese Gelegenheit nutzen, um uns in unseren Communities zu vernetzen, antifaschistischen Selbstschutz aufzubauen und gemeinsam gegen staatliche Repression und die ökonomisch-ökologische Krise zu organisieren. Weltweit.
Hier noch eine älterer Text von uns, der die Möglichkeiten des Ausgangs der Wahlen analysiert:

Zwischen Wahlpolitik und Bürgerkrieg
Was aber, wenn wir nichts davon wollen – weder Tyrannei noch Bürgerkrieg, noch vom kleineren der beiden Übel regiert werden?
Enquanto a fumaça se dissipa em Washington, DC depois que os apoiadores de Trump invadiram o prédio do capitólio — algumas ideias preliminares.
Os eventos de 6/01 vão desacreditar apoiadores de Trump para os centristas, mas também vão girar a roleta em relação ao que é aceitável. Isso pode ajudar a extrema direita a recrutar pessoas no país e normalizar ações semelhantes no futuro.
A repressão estatal depois disso suprimirá as liberdades além das fronteiras, visando todas as formas de dissidência. Na Turquia, quando Erdoğan deu um golpe militar de direita, isso abriu caminho para ele reprimir todas as formas de protesto.
A repressão estatal sobre direita seguirá o manual que eles usam contra nossos movimentos — incorporando elementos reformistas enquanto isola e destrói elementos "extremos".
Se a única pressão sobre o governo vier da extrema direita, o estado fará concessões a eles.
Defensoras da liberdade não devem ser espectadoras, aguardando que o estado nos proteja. Vamos usar esta chance para alcançar as pessoas em nossas comunidades e nos organizarmos contra ações da extrema direita local e contra a repressão estatal e a crise econômica/ecológica.

As the Republican Party fractures, a new political center is emerging—albeit much further to the right—while some Trump supporters are embracing outright fascism.
