קפיטליזם זה פשע מאורגן

https://crimethinc.com/posters/qpytlyzm-zh-psh-mvrg

הגנגסטרים האמיתיים לא צריכים ללכלך את הידיים שלהם - יש להם משטרה ובתי משפט ובתי כלא שיעשו עבורם את העבודה המלוכלכת. הם לא חייבים לנהל עסקאות סמים או סחר ברובים או טבעות הימורים לא חוקיות - הם מנהלים את כל השאר. הם יכולים להרשות לעצמם לתת לנו לבחור בין פוליטיקאים, כל עוד המערכת הפוליטית עצמה אוכפת את המעמד שלהם. חלקנו יכולות להצטרף לשורותיהם אם אנחנו יזמניות מספיק, כל עוד אנחנו מוכנות לקחת חלק בעסקאות העקומות שלהם ולשחק לפי הכללים שלהם. ישנן יריבויות בין כנופיות שונות, אבל שום דבר לא מאיים על שלטון הכנופיות. אם מאפיה הייתה משתלטת על כל החברה שלנו, האם זה היה נראה אחרת?

Exploiting rifts over identity and conflicts over tactics is fundamental to counter-insurgency. Addressing them responsibly is essential to resisting counter-insurgency. Counter-insurgency contractors will tell you this themselves.

See, for example:

This point bears repeating from one movement to the next.

הדור האחרון בנה את העולם בו אנו חיות כיום, ואיתו את שינויי האקלים, המשברים הכלכליים, המלחמות, המגפות, העוני, הרעב, העבודה, והשעמום והריקנות של חיי היום יום שלנו. עכשיו הם רוצים להכריח אותנו להיכנס לאותה התבנית ולחזור על אותן הטעויות. בתי הספר שלהם לא רק מעבירים מיומנויות וידע, אלא גם ציות, אדישות, אמונה עיוורת, מערכת ערכים שלמה המבוססת על שליטה וכניעה. אל תתן.י להם לשטוף לך את המוח.

Today, we received this surprisingly courteous message from the deputy chief of the Montpelier Police Department in Vermont, along with the attached photograph:

> "Over the last month, many community members have volunteered their time to clean up graffiti and stickers that have been posted all over Montpelier. This morning, we located these stickers on the light poles on State Street from Main Street to Elm Street. The volunteer community members would appreciate other ways to distribute your important materials so their efforts to beautify downtown are respected and appreciated."

Indeed, if you are looking for "other ways to distribute our important materials," you can obtain these stickers yourself here:

The Supreme Court ruling on abortion compels us to confront the law itself as hostile to us. For all who might need abortion access—or who care about those who might—the state is now our enemy.

Prepare accordingly. Learn direct action tactics. Organize networks of solidarity.

Everything we know about the basics of street protest is collected here:

https://cwc.im/ActionResources

—Affinity groups
—Security culture
—Digital communications + security
—Safety gear
—Dressing for success
—Strategy + tactics
—First aid
—Jail support

All the tools in the toolbox!

This system has given nine people, including at least two unrepentant sexual predators, the power to block abortion access to tens of millions of people.

Against them, our only hope is solidarity—and our collective readiness to disobey.

They have made it abundantly clear that this ruling is only one step in a systematic assault on all forms of freedom. It won't stop here.

The Supreme Court, the police, the prison system, and the justice industry as a whole are all weapons in a crusade to dominate and oppress.

We've uploaded a handbill from our friends at @IGD_News explaining why it is important for people to respect each other's autonomy in demonstrations.

Print these out and distribute them this evening. We need a movement that makes space for everyone.

This is a good time to read "Stonewall Means Riot Right Now," exploring what today's movements to defend trans youth and abortion access can learn from the Stonewall riots and the George Floyd uprising.

To Defend Abortion Access, Take the Offensive 🏴

What can direct action offer the fight for reproductive freedom? A tentative effort to discuss grassroots strategies for resisting the criminalization of abortion.

It is becoming widely understood that the shot callers in the Democratic Party have no intention to stick their necks out to preserve abortion access. For the most cynical of the Democratic politicians, the overturning of Roe v. Wade represents an opportunity to improve their job security by the changing the subject back to electoral politics once again. Yet a coherent grassroots strategy for resisting the criminalization of abortion has yet to emerge. Let’s talk about what such a strategy might entail.

This is especially pressing as today’s Supreme Court is not finished reshaping the legal landscape. They may continue to hand down decisions like the overturning of Roe v. Wade for years or even decades to come.

Ecuador: General Strike, Take Two

crimethinc.com/Ecuador2022

Two and a half years after an uprising toppled the government, people are in the streets for another general strike. What does it mean that they have to fight this battle all over again so soon after that historic victory?

During the 2019 revolt, we interviewed a comrade in the front lines to learn about the dynamics of the revolt in the Ecuadorian capital and the self-management and popular power practices of the “Quito Commune.” Two and a half years later, we reached out to him again.

Paro Nacional in Equador: un nuovo “estallido”?

https://crimethinc.com/2022/06/29/paro-nacional-in-equador-un-nuovo-estallido

Nell’ottobre 2019 c’è stata una straordinaria rivolta indigena e popolare in Ecuador che, dopo 12 giorni e con un bilancio di 11 morti, riuscì a cancellare un pacchetto di misure neoliberiste imposte dal FMI, tra cui la cancellazione di un sussidio sul prezzo del carburante. In questo giugno del 2022, lo sciopero generale e le proteste di piazza in Ecuador entrano nella terza settimana, con più di 15 giorni del cosiddetto Paro Nacional, sempre guidato dai movimenti indigeni, sempre contro le politiche del FMI e l’aumento del prezzo del carburante.

Ecuador: Paro Nacional, Segunda Parte

Dos años y medio después, otro levantamiento sacude al país.

https://es.crimethinc.com/2022/06/29/ecuador-paro-nacional-segunda-parte-dos-anos-y-medio-despues-otro-levantamiento-sacude-al-pais

¿Qué pasó en los últimos dos años y medio en el Ecuador para que, después de una pandemia y elecciones presidenciales, se volviera al punto de partida?

O que significa que as pessoas no Equador tenham que lutar essa batalha novamente logo após uma vitória histórica? Essa força se espalhará pela América Latina?

To our joy, the workers at https://kissradio.ca are still playing "Killing in the Name of" on permanent repeat, many hours running, reportedly to protest the firing of two DJs.

If this is what it seems to be, it's a perfect demonstration of the strategy described on our poster, "When they fire you, quit":

"Quit playing by their rules. Quit counting on their system. Quit buying into their idea of happiness. Quit obeying their laws. Quit thinking you could finally get ahead if you just tried a little harder. If they could, they’d fire everyone, leaving us to push grocery carts along the sidewalk and dig in the trash for food. What’s good for business is not good for humanity. Quit letting them get away with it."
