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.

In order to keep Donald Trump’s voter base entertained with spectacles of predatory violence, recruiters are offering bribes of up to $50,000 to seduce gullible individuals into hiring themselves out to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). While Trump’s henchmen falsely claim that ICE is targeting “criminals,” the real wrongdoers are those who are prepared to do harm to their neighbors in return for a bribe.
In cooperation with subMedia and the Coordinadora Anarquista Tejiendo Libertad, we have prepared a video and poster campaign to counter ICE recruitment. Please help us circulate these everywhere that people are at risk.

When autocracy takes hold in a country, everything goes on as before—police go on policing, landlords go on collecting rent, people go on showing up to work. The transition takes place so smoothly because all the elements necessary to fascism were present under democracy.
https://crimethinc.com/democracy
People imagine fascism as the opposite of democratic governance. In fact, it employs the same police, courts, property rights, patriotic mythology, and habits of obedience as state democracy. Wherever there is a powerful state with a monopoly on violence, fascism is only an election away.
This is why resistance to authoritarianism must take place at all times, not simply when an army is invading under swastika flags. We must never conflate the smooth functioning of the state with freedom itself. Assuming that the "rule of law" is identical with self-determination gives aspiring despots a free hand.
