Reflections on looting, black liberation and anarchism

From Philly Anti-Capitalist

"...Anarchists made an effort to add to the situation. Anarchists were not only present during the riots (albeit to a limited degree), some also carried out attacks. Although anarchists were largely late to the game in terms of intentionally participating, a good amount of anarchists showed up. Segregation and being in different social networks may have played a part in why our response as anarchists was delayed. A proposal of dispersed attacks was made and followed through on. That said, an opportunity to raise morale was missed by prioritizing atomized attack over group action. The anarchist space in Philadelphia is growing right now, and tempering cautious attitudes with encouragement and support can further encourage that growth."

Anarchists Loot Supermarket in Greece

From Athens Indymedia, Translated by Act for freedom now!

On Thursday 22 December we carried out an expropriation at the Market supermarket in the neighbourhood of Iisia and the products were shared among the people at the adjacent street market. [...] Expropriation is the principle against conformity and submission. We call for the immediate multiplication of similar actions in all cities.

Expropriation and attack

from Magpie Project via email

I support The Maggpie project. Department stores are warehouses where I go to take the things I need. I don’t use money. I took these things for free last week: Food, coffee, clothing, rechargeable batteries, shaving machines, headlamps, tools, colors for graffiti and coffee pot.

We will not pay for what has been stolen from us

From Magpie Project

Czech Republic: MAGPIE PROJECT – We Will Not Pay for What has been Stolen from Us

It is not a crime to take goods from the capitalists without paying. They themselves act criminally when they accumulate commodities by exploiting employees. They let them work hard, but they give them only a small part of what they have created with their work. They capture the rest and invest in the next cycle of exploitation. This is theft! This is a crime!

BLM Should Learn From Anarchists

BLM Should Learn a Thing or Two From the Anarchists of 1919
From Liberty Nation GenZ

By: Leesa Donner

What do the anarchists of 1919 and the Marxists leading Black Lives Matter have in common? Quite a lot. If this is merely the leading edge of chaos and anarchy, American history may provide some valuable lessons for radicals.
