We're grateful to our comrades at Yfanet, a squatted social center in Thessaloniki, for this heartwarming expression of support in response to fire that destroyed our distribution hub.

Like many anarchist projects in Greece, Yfanet faces threats under the far-right "New Democracy" government. Please donate here to support them:

Participants in our collective have visited their space repeatedly over the years.

Greece has lost dozens of inspiring social centers since 2019, including crucial migrant solidarity projects. The remaining spaces deserve international solidarity. 🏴

Congratulations to plaintiffs who have won $75,000 in settlements after Newnan police brutalized them to protect fascists!

The US government regularly engages in millions of dollars worth of crimes against activists:

They don't have to break down our doors
Blindfold and gag us by force
To install mind control
Devices in our homes

We buy them on our own

Ukraine: Between Two Fires

https://cwc.im/Ukraine2022

An array of perspectives from anarchists in and around Ukraine about the looming threat of war and the agendas of the various geopolitical players, seeking to pose the hard questions about how movements can respond to state militarism.

***

In hopes of providing crucial background on the current tensions between Russia, Ukraine, the United States, and other members of NATO, we present the trannoscript of an excellent interview with an anarchist in Ukraine, followed by another perspective contributed by a Ukrainian anarchist from Lugansk who is now located in Kiev.

We endorse this important message from the National Lawyers Guild Detroit and Michigan Chapter!

The photograph shows Nikita Uvarov—arrested at age 14. The prosecutor is demanding that he serve 9 years in Russian prison.

The crime? He and two other 14-year-old anarchists put posters on a building belonging to the Russian secret police.

The Russian government has been in the news for its actions in Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Ukraine. Let's also remember how they treat Russians—for example, mobilizing an entire "anti-terror" campaign to persecute Nikita and his friends.

"If they give me a real term," Nikita has declared, "I will serve it with a clear conscience and dignity."

No child should have to face such a fate, certainly not on account of his politics. This is what we mean when we say "authoritarian."

Tomorrow, on February 10, Nikita Uvarov and two other kids his age will face sentencing.

On this #ThrowbackThursday, in light of Theodore J. Kaczynski's (government designation: "The Unabomber") diagnosis with terminal cancer, a piece we put out in 1997 during his trial:
https://crimethinc.com/1997/09/11/the-unabomber

"We may or may not live to experience anarchy on a scale greater than our hard-won friendships, love affairs, projects, and uprisings. But in the meantime, the vision of that possibility can anchor and orient us in the present, informing our actions, the way a mariner navigates across the sea by the stars. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, when we are able to imagine a utopia, that utopia can gain traction on reality by enabling us to take actions we would otherwise not be capable of. The reality content of a future utopia is determined by the actions it enables us to take today."

"To stay stable, the economy has to draw in more and more resources—colonizing new continents, workforces, and aspects of daily life…"

Today, we remember Aragorn!, a tireless polemicist and partisan of anarchist infrastructure.

Please read Leona's and Klee's eulogies and Aragorn's text "Locating An Indigenous Anarchism," all of which are available here:

Here is our elegy for him:

Love and Will: In Search of a Cosmology

https://cwc.im/LoveAndWill

Can we imagine what love means on a scale that extends beyond the human and even the biological—as a kind of relationship that can be found in various forms throughout the cosmos?

Could doing so help us to break out of the destructive relationships that pass as love, today?

Ill Winds from #Ottawa

In this extensive report, our Montréal correspondent explores the unfolding anti-mandate protests in Canada, reviewing the agendas of the various forces that are vying for power and reflecting on the risks and opportunities in a situation in which the far right has gained the initiative.

#Ukraine—War and Anarchists

https://cwc.im/UkraineWar

Anarchists from Ukraine explore the 2014 Maidan protests, the ascendancy of fascists, civil war, and the threat of war with Russia.

This is a crucial historical document posing difficult strategic questions. We urge everyone to read and discuss it.

#Украина война и анархисты

Анархисты из Украины исследуют протесты Майдана 2014 года, рост ультраправых в Украине и угрозу войны с Россией.

Это важный исторический документ, ставящий сложные стратегические вопросы. Мы призываем всех прочитать его.

Mendacious Republicans want to appropriate the Kronstadt uprising.

The Kronstadt rebels were rebel Bolsheviks, anarchists, and other socialists—as documented here:

https://cwc.im/KronstadtRebels

To learn about the uprising, start by reading their daily paper:

https://cwc.im/Kronstadt

If the Kronstadt rebels were alive today, they would be fighting beside us against the rapacious capitalism and virulent nationalism of Madison Cawthorn and his cronies.

Cawthorn represents tyranny and oppression. His willful dishonesty rivals the worst excesses of Stalinism.
