"No one colonizes innocently, no one colonizes with impunity either; a nation which colonizes, a civilization which justifies colonization and therefore force, is already a sick civilization, a civilization which is morally diseased."
—Aimé Césaire, Discourse on Colonialism
In recognition of the Day of Mourning that the United American Indians declared on this day in 1970, and in hopes of offering important context to colonial mythology about early Thanksgivings, we offer the story of Metacomet’s War:

On this day 26 years ago, demonstrators blockaded and shut down the summit of the World Trade Organization in Seattle—demonstrating the power of direct action and horizontal, decentralized organizing.
Today, as federal mercenaries attack our communities while state institutions strive even more blatantly to repress and impoverish us, we need the lessons of the Seattle WTO protests more than ever.

Charting a trajectory from the punk underground of the 1980s to today's struggles against autocracy, a participant in CrimethInc. projects spoke with the Woodbine podcast about the importance of institutional memory in radical politics and the advantages of explicitly anarchist organizing.

When the Feds Come to Your City: Standing Up to ICE
A Guide from Chicago Organizers
https://crimethinc.com/StandUptoICE
Are masked agents stalking your town, looking to kidnap your neighbors? Want to do your part to protect each other, but don’t know where to start?
We hope this guide will help you prepare to stand up to federal agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as they attempt to abduct people from your community. It is based on the knowledge that an array of people have accumulated in Chicago over the past several months during “Operation Midway Blitz.”
As federal agents expand their assaults on communities across the country, it is crucial to share and build on these practices.

Today is the birthday of Errico Malatesta, a tireless anarchist organizer and author active on four continents across six decades. To observe the occasion, we invite you to read about how he and his comrades organized mutual aid to address the cholera epidemic of 1884.
https://crimethinc.com/cholera
Malatesta began his revolutionary career in Italy in the 1870s. Flirting with left nationalism as a teenager, he concluded that only anarchism offered real change, and joined the famously insurrectionist Italian section of the International.
Having seen how republican nationalism had only brought a new regime to power in Italy and reinforced existing social inequalities, he opposed statist models for social change in favor of grassroots labor organizing and militant resistance.

When Malatesta's old comrade Andrea Costa renounced anarchism, entered Parliament, and set out to convince his peers that electoral politics represented the only way to pursue social change, Malatesta slipped back into Italy—despite facing a variety of unresolved charges—and challenged Costa to a public debate. Costa attempted to weasel his way out of it, but was ultimately compelled to meet with Malatesta in front of a large audience of laborers. He fled the city after being trounced in the discussion.
Having won the argument, Malatesta went back to jail.
Despite a three-year prison sentence hanging over his head, Malatesta joined other revolutionary anarchists on a daring mission to Naples—the heart of the cholera epidemic—to treat those suffering from the disease, showing that grassroots mutual aid can address even the most serious crises.

After being exiled to imprisonment on an island, Malatesta managed to escape Italy concealed in a box of sewing machines. He went on to assist in establishing the labor movement in Argentina, survived an assassination attempt in New Jersey, and organized one clandestine newspaper and uprising after another.
He remains an example to us all. 🏴

There is nothing more despicable than those who choose to do harm to their neighbors in return for a paycheck.
Such people will do anything—tell any lie, commit any atrocity, wrest a child from her parents.
All humanity should band together against the mercenaries.
