Basic Banalities Concerning the January 31 Demonstration in Turin
Reflections on Conflict Following a Night of Street Fighting in Italy
https://crimethinc.com/Turin2026
On December 18, 2025, police evicted the historic Askatasuna social center in Turin, which had been squatted since 1996. A call circulated for a demonstration in response on January 31.
Newspapers report that 50,000 people took the streets. In the street where Askatasuna was located, clashes with the police continued for several hours—an intensity of confrontation that is extraordinary in Italy today.
Something is changing in Italy. The pro-Palestinian movement that erupted in support of the flotillas that sailed for Gaza in fall 2025 drew millions of participants into the streets, including a new generation that had not previously participated in direct action. The events in Turin last month show that this momentum has not abated. While authoritarianism is gaining power all around the world, we are also seeing a rising desire to revolt.

Today marks one month since ICE mercenary Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good.
It was not the first public execution ICE carried out. But because rapid responders caught it on film, there can be no question about what happened—and because angry locals forced ICE to withdraw afterwards, there can be no question about whether it was a tragedy.
Resisting makes us safer.

Alcune banalità di base sul corteo del 31 gennaio a Torino
Riflessioni sul conflitto a partire da una notte di scontri in Italia

Qualcosa sta cambiando nel panorama italiano. Il movimento pro-palestina esploso in solidarietà alla flottiglia che è salpata per Gaza nell’autunno 2025 ha portato milioni di persone in strada, inclusa una nuova generazione che non aveva partecipato precedentemente in azioni dirette. Gli eventi a Torino nell’ultimo mese mostrano che questa fase non è finita. Mentre l’autoritarismo guadagna potere attraverso il globo, vediamo anche i segni di una rabbia ingovernabile tra le persone.

Quelques banalités concernant la manifestation du 31 janvier à Turin
Reflexion sur le conflit à partir d’une nuit d’émeute

Le 18 décembre 2025, la police a expulsé le centre social historique Askatasuna à Turin, qui était squatté depuis 1996. Après une première manifestation convoquée immédiatement après l’expulsion, un appel a été lancé pour une deuxième grande manifestation le 31 janvier.
Les journaux rapportent que 50,000 personnes ont pris la rue. Sur la rue où se trouvait le centre social, les affrontements avec la police ont duré pendant plusieurs heures. De manière générale, la marche a été caractérisée par des confrontations d’une intensité plutôt rare en Italie ces temps-ci.
Alors que l’autoritarisme gagne du terrain à travers le monde, nous voyons également les signes d’une colère ingouvernable parmi la population.

The Rojava Revolution in Peril, the Struggle for Free Life Continues
https://crimethinc.com/Rojavaperil
With the backing of the Turkish government and the blessing of the United States and European governments, the Syrian military is surrounding the self-governing communities of Rojava, seeking to forcibly integrate them into the Syrian state. Although the Syrian Democratic Forces in Rojava have signed a peace treaty agreeing to integration, the outcome remains to be seen.
A statement from American, Chinese, and Russian anarchists who have fought to defend Rojava about what this means for the future.
