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.

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.

On this day in December 2008, in the Exarchia district of Athens, a Greek police officer murdered Alexandros Grigoropoulos, a 15-year-old Greek anarchist. In response, the whole country rose in revolt.
This interview describes the organizing behind the insurrection:
https://crimethinc.com/organizeaninsurrection
Ever since, people in Greece have observed the murder of Alexandros and the insurrection of 2008 with a day of demonstrations:
https://crimethinc.com/6December
Today, we remember Alexandros and honor the courage of those who stood up to the police who murdered him.
Police will go on killing as long as capitalism exists. But together, we can show that this is a senseless tragedy and make it possible to imagine the end of a social order based on domination.

"Not only do I want to see them killed... I'd really like to see them suffer. I'd like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time."
The chief goal of the Trump regime's operations murdering people in the Caribbean is to foster bloodlust in their supporters—to turn them into debased monsters like the ghoul in this video.
Why would they do that? Consult René Girard on sacrificial violence:
https://crimethinc.com/sacrificialviolence
Meanwhile, Democrat politicians are objecting to the strikes in the Caribbean—as should everyone.
But Democrats have supported the Israeli government in continuously perpetrating precisely these same war crimes, including "double tap" murders in which they strike a civilian target, then hit the survivors.
Real change is up to us.

A year ago, following the fall of Assad, as Russian occupying forces withdrew from their positions in Syria, they passed a Russian anarchist who gazed into their eyes. The anarchist's side in the conflict had outlasted them.
May the same thing happen in Russia one day.
