A talk on the Ukrainian-Russian war, from an anarchist perspective. I reviewed my reasons for being in solidarity with the Ukrainian people. But revolutionary anarchists should give no political support to the Ukrainian government nor to the U.S. imperialists who help it. ... read full story / add a comment

As far as I can tell, Ukrainian anarchists have in fact followed Malatesta’s approach. Virtually the whole country has risen up to oppose the invasion. There is voluntary organizing throughout the nation, both military and providing social services, despite chaos and destruction. Ukrainian anarchists have not made fools of themselves by opposing the resistance of the people. Instead they have merged with the broader movement of Ukrainians. Some have provided non-military services through mutual aid groups, such as food distribution. Others have formed a military unit composed of anarchists and anti-fascists. Although they have a good deal of autonomy, they coordinate with the Territorial Defense Forces. ... read full story / add a comment

Australia’s militaristic national myth was founded on the Gallipoli landing.  The dead Anzacs are conscripted for service in all of Australia’s wars.  They have sanctified Australian imperialism in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.  This year, the national commemoration of the Anzacs will be in the service of the developing conflict with China and the drive to war.  It must not be uncontested. ... read full story / add a comment

Το παρακάτω κείμενο αποτελεί απάντηση των Αναρχικών Κομμουνιστών Meanjin (Anarchist Communists Meanjin) από τo Μπρίσμπεϊν της Αυστραλίας, σε άρθρο που φιλοξενήθηκε στην βρετανική αναρχική ιστοσελίδα Freedom News, με τίτλο “Fuck Leftist Westplaining” , αλλά και άλλων άρθρων με παρόμοια θεματολογία, που ως κύριο σκεπτικό τους έχουν την θέση πως η ευρωπαϊκή Αριστερά -και το Αναρχικό Κίνημα ειδικότερα- θα πρέπει να επικεντρώσει την κριτική της μόνο στην ιμπεριαλιστική επέμβαση του Ρωσικού Στρατού και να μην καταπιάνεται καθόλου στην παρούσα συνθήκη με το θέμα του ΝΑΤΟ και της δικής του ιμπεριαλιστικής επέκτασης και των σχεδιασμών του στην Ανατολική Ευρώπη. Οι συντάκτες του άρθρου φτάνουν δε μέχρι και το σημείο να θεωρούν θεμιτή τακτική για την παρούσα χρονική περίοδο την αποδοχή της συμμετοχής των χωρών της περιοχής στην Ευρωατλαντική Συμμαχία, ως “κίνηση αυτοπροστασίας” απέναντι στον Πούτιν. ... read full story / add a comment

A group of Ukrainian anarchists living in Kyiv declared that they have joined popular resistance against Russian invasion and organized their own group- leading to many debates among anarchist circles. As long as we do not exactly know their own circumstances, one might think that they are purely pro-NATO people, confused nationalist-anarchists or even neo-Nazi supporters. Actually, they are not! According to their declarations before and during the war, they do exactly know what NATO, capitalism, nationalism and imperialism is; and they are against all of them. For me, they are just a group of comrades who found themselves in the middle of a war and trying to find out a way to defend their own lives and their own ideas. ... read full story / add a comment

Both NATO and Russia must be opposed, and should war eventuate, our job is not to pick a side but to work to end the war as quickly as possible. Should war break out then the spectre of 1917 needs to be made a reality again. The best defence against imperialist wars will always be a powerful, militant working-class and the fear of revolution that brings. ... read full story / add a comment

Depuis le jeudi 20 janvier, l'administration autonome du nord et de l'est de la Syrie (AANES) subit des attaques coordonnées de la part de Daesh, les plus importantes de par leur envergure depuis la résurgence de l'État Islamique en Syrie (EI). En parallèle, l'État fasciste Turc d'Erdogan profite de la crise pour affaiblir l'AANES et appuie l'EI. La coalition internationale reste muette et quasi inactive alors que cette crise révèle au grand jour un des multiples problèmes d'ampleur auquel est confronté l'AANES et pour lequel la communauté internationale a une responsabilité écrasante : la gestion des dizaines de milliers de détenu·es membres de l'EI et de leurs familles et le rapatriement des milliers de ressortissant·es dans leurs pays d'origine. ... read full story / add a comment

As Anarchists, we argue for workers’ revolution across the world and take as our primary duty the fight against the capitalists where we live. Here in Australia, we must fight against the Australian Goverment’s military alliance with the US, including the ANZUS Treaty, the 5 Eyes intelligence group and the spy base at Pine Gap. And we must fight to build a labour movement that can link up with the working class across the region to make revolution against both the capitalists and the Chinese so-called “Communist” Party. There is no other way. ... read full story / add a comment

Alguns debates são urgentes, não podem ficar para outro dia. Quanto mais urgente é sua temporalidade, mais rigor e cuidado é necessário para avançar teoricamente. Se a meta for fazer campanha, panfleto, difusão doutrinária, algo muito relevante, aí a pressa é outra e tudo fica para o curtíssimo prazo. Não é o caso dos textos deste analista quando faz análise. Nas redes sociais a presença é outra, mas na palavra escrita, toda a precisão é fundamental. Como já foi por mim descrito na primeira parte do debate, imperialismo se contrapõe, imperialismo se contrapõem e nacionalismo tem um significado nos países que são ou foram potência – e tem vocação, pretensões de expansionismo – e outro em países do Sul Global, da periferia do planeta e por vezes também na Semiperiferia, tal é o caso brasileiro. Cabe ressaltar que o tema do desenvolvimento capitalista também pode ser anti-imperialista, mas jamais rompe em si com a dominação interna e tampouco supera a luta de classes em sua versão latino-americana, a luta popular. ... read full story / add a comment

Preciso começar esta nova série (creio eu) em função de algumas razões óbvias. A primeira e a mais sensível das razões porque os conceitos são reais, ou ao menos intentam interpelar, interpretar o real vivido como experiência concreta e não apenas o universo imaginário (que também forma o real vivido). Ou seja, isso existe, existe imperialismo e existem potências - no plural sim - imperialistas. ... read full story / add a comment

As we head for NATO’s 70th birthday, it’s time to assess the nuclear-armed military alliance that came into being to ensure western military superiority during the Cold War. Most strikingly, during its first 40 years of existence – namely the Cold War, NATO embarked on no wars or military campaigns. Yet in the 30 years since the Cold War and the removal of its political and military rival, the Soviet Union, NATO has massively expanded territorially, changed its mission statement from a defensive to an aggressive posture and embarked on a series of wars, of which their intervention in Afghanistan is getting on for two decades long. ... read full story / add a comment

The YPG/YPJ have also held the dictatorship at bay (and they have brought a relative stability to this region of Syria). But what deserves our respect is not simply their military prowess, but rather the type of society which they seek to create in liberated areas. They hold socialist tendencies, but what sets them apart is their desire to organize their world according to directly democratic means; something like a secular, decentralized, Town Meeting system where all the people have an actual voice and an unabstracted vote concerning the issues that face them as a people and as a community. Here they take political influence from the anarchist Vermont sociologist Murray Bookchin. Their vision, similar to that espoused by the EZLN & the Zapatistas (Chiapas, Mexico), is as far reaching as that which was dreamed of on CNT/FAI barricades in Spain from 1936-1939. Their fight has parallels to Mahkno and his brigades in the Ukraine in 1919. They do not fight for an ethic Kurdish state, but rather for a new social formation whereby the individual and the community collectively control the world in which they live. Their dreams, perhaps, are not dissimilar those who manned the walls of the Paris in 1871. And to this very point in time, remarkably, they have been winning.
