Far-right pogroms are shaking large parts of the UK, with looming fears of an ever more violent night ahead today. Police say at least 100 further far-right gatherings are planned in several cities. Police say 100 new far-right events are scheduled for today.

A hit list of 39 targets for right-wing extremist attacks is circulating on the internet, mainly offices of immigration and asylum authorities. Previously, mosques and migrant businesses were attacked during night-time riots. So far, only 425 people have been arrested.

Counter-demonstrators are planning to mobilize to protect people at risk. While community leaders and politicians have urged people to stay at home and “let the police do their job,” more and more activists and migrants are mobilizing, disillusioned with the state that became the fertile ground for the mass pogroms in the first place.

Happy birthday to the Mexican revolutionary leader, Emiliano Zapata! Born today in rural Mexico in 1879, he led the armed farmers uprising that eventually snowballed into the Mexican Revolution of 1911. Zapata commanded the “Liberation Army of the South,” fighting for land rights and for power to be in the hands of the peasants.

Beyond the fight for land, Zapata stressed the vital connection between the struggle of the Mexican peasantry and the fight for social justice and material necessities: “We fight for the land and not for illusions that give us nothing to eat […] With or without elections, the people are chewing the cud of bitterness.”

Emiliano Zapata’s life was tragically cut short when he was gunned down by federal forces in 1919. Today his legacy lives on through Zapatista revolutionary groups that emerged in the mid-1990s fighting for land reform and justice, such as the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN).
