We do not enlist

from Inferno Urbano

Wars are always a bloodbath for the exploited and a rich business for the bosses. We are not interested in the opposing propaganda reasons of the belligerents. The exploited in Russia as in the Ukraine, in Italy as in the USA are our brothers & sisters, their blood is our blood. The governments, the generals, the industrialists, the financiers are our enemies, our executioners, our starvers.

Cannibal Metaphysics on Immediatism Podcast

Anarchists have a troubled relationship with anthropology. Many of us are sympathetic to the enduring tribulations of people and worldviews that are indigenous in the onslaught of western culture's hegemony. Eduardo Viveiros de Castro is known for having offered, in the book Cannibal Metaphysics, a vision of anthropology as the "practice of the permanent decolonization of thought." He shows that "Amazonian and other Amerindian groups inhabit a radically different conceptual universe than ours -- in which nature and culture, human and nonhuman, subject and object are conceived in terms that reverse our own. (From the publisher's description)".

Ukraine between Ethnonationalism and Imperial Interests

from Barrikade, English translation by cretin via raddle

Ethnonationalism, national oppression and imperialism are categories that are necessary for understanding and developing a progressive position on Ukraine that opposes both imperial Russian war policies and Ukrainian nationalism. Here is a discussion of some historical, ethnic and political aspects.

Sabotaging the War

from BEZMOTIVNY, via Inferno Urbano, English translation by cretin via raddle

Let us therefore shun any frontist temptation, rejecting both the positions of those who in the name of pluralism and human rights are tempted to close ranks under the liberal Western banner, and those who in the name of anti-Americanism and nostalgic Sovietism are tempted by pro-Russian partisanship.

Insurrection or Revolution?

<3

from Center for a Stateless Society by Saul Newman

The ethical politics of Stirner’s egoism

Perhaps it is time to abandon the ‘spooks’ of identity and revolution and to think of subjectivity and politics in a different way. It is here that I suggest we turn to the nineteenth egoist anarchist philosopher Max Stirner.

Russia and Ukraine: Grassroots Resistance to Putin’s Invasion

From CrimethInc.

In this hasty update, we review some of today’s efforts to resist the Russian invasion of Ukraine—from both Russians within the repressive conditions of Russian society and Ukrainians experiencing the full force of military attacks. There is a great deal more to be said about this subject than we can cover here. We will return to analysis shortly, but for now, we aim chiefly to put this information at your disposal rapidly. Those who require background may begin here for a Russian perspective or here for a Ukrainian perspective.

Responsibility claim for Arson Attack Against a UNISON Vehicle in Exarcheia

fiyah!

*Translation note from Cretin: Responsibility claim for the arson of a company vehicle of UNISON Facilities Management, on Vatatzis Street in Exarcheia, in the early hours of Wednesday, February 23, 2022. Originally posted in Greek-language on the Athens Indymedia website here: https://athens.indymedia.org/post/1617190/

Athens, Greece: Redevelopment, gentrification, gentrification. Concepts that have become embedded as spikes in the discourse and action of the antagonist movement, must be seen as another aspect of the attack of the ruling classes against the oppressed class. Capital aims at subordinating the whole of life to its exploitation and reproduction, and therefore organizes more and more aspects of human activity in this logic.
