“‘Patriotism,’ i.e., a willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons."
-Bertrand Russell
Luisa Toledo raised three children who were killed fighting Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile. She never stopped fighting.

Her example inspired thousands, helping to topple the dictatorship and its legacy.

A eulogy and report from a funeral to remember.
Throughout the pandemic, workers have been treated as expendable resources for the sake of corporate profiteering.

Cheers to every worker who quits, sabotages, organizes, or uses other tactics to resist the capitalist death cult.

Workers have been quitting in droves in 2021. This can be an effective pressure tactic on employers—volatility in the workforce can force them to offer better terms.

Of course, to be able to risk quitting, we have to build support networks and other means of collective survival.

If you call yourself an abolitionist, but you support the police and prisons of Russia, Syria, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, Cuba, or China…

Then you're not really an abolitionist.

If you oppose police and prisons everywhere, you might be—an anarchist.

Genoa 2001: Memories from the Front Lines

https://cwc.im/GenoaG8

Twenty years ago today, at the peak of a movement against capitalist globalization, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Genoa, Italy to oppose the summit of the eight most powerful governments in the world—the G8. The demonstrations in Genoa represented the high-water mark of an era of global protest, in which both confrontational tactics and police repression reached their apex. In a new era of uprisings, we stand to learn a lot from studying previous cycles of resistance. This narrative history recounts the mobilization in Genoa through a series of firsthand accounts.
The demonstrations against the G8 summit in Genoa 20 years ago exemplified the strategy of convergence—in which anti-capitalists worldwide concentrated their forces for spectacular attacks on multinational institutions like the G8, WTO, and IMF.

It's important to understand how the root system of long-running social and cultural spaces contributed to the success of these mass mobilizations, creating opportunities for people to undergo a shared political evolution, build ties, and innovate new tactics and discourses.

Today's black bloc tactics, widespread from Chile and Hong Kong to the United States, derive in part from the movements that came together in Genoa in 2001. How can we develop a more robust root system?
