CALL FOR AN INTERNATIONAL WEEK OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE ACCUSED OF 8.12.2020

The French State accuses them of having «participated in a formed group or an agreement established for the preparation of acts of terrorism»...to be more clear: the anarchist ideal of the comrades and the presumption of guilt are what maintains the «terrorist» accusation although no project is defined

Remembering Lobo, a Revolutionary, a Comrade, a Friend

From Unoffensive Animal
August 2, 2023

Last week we heard that Lobo, known in Rojava as Elefteria Hambi, was martyred in Syria. After joining the YPJ in 2018 they moved to the mountains where they joined the YJA Star guerrillas and on the 25th of November 2019, they were murdered by the Turkish state during an airstrike. The news of their martyrdom was not made public until today.

Anarchist who Fought in Rojava: Response to ‘No War But Class War’ Debate

From Abolition Media

I left Rojava nearly three years ago now and up until this point has chosen to remain quiet, leaving the writing to those who prefer to talk rather than act. I’ve looked on as the Ukrainians have gotten more support amongst the western anarchist milieu than the Kurds, Arabs, Assyrians, Yezidis and others could have ever imagined.
 

Socialism is Anarchist if you squint

Strange indeed...

from Strange Opinions by Ecks D. Essay

Authoritarian creep, libertarian socialism, & democratic planning

Socialism isn’t when the government does things or owns things. It’s not a form of tyranny that tries to force everyone at gunpoint to become identical worker drones and follow the commands of some bureaucrat’s central plan. It’s not even the tepid, watered-down welfarist reforms that ex D.S.A. members like myself are trying and failing to pass, bless their heart. Rather, socialism was and remains a vision of a world where ordinary working people are in charge of the production and investment decisions that affect them – in their workplaces, neighborhoods, cities, and beyond – and manage the economy democratically to meet everyone’s needs. It's much like what we have now, except somehow eluding all the undesirable consequences and implications that currently affect us.

In solidarity with Syrena collective (Warsaw, Poland) from Rojava

received by email

With rage we have learned about patriarchal violence once again destroying our homes and communities – this time taking the shape of an attack on Syrena social center in Warsaw made by the hands of a neighboring squat inhabitants on December 5th 2021 (more info: syrena.org/en). We find it even more shameful, as it happens in the heart of our struggle, and is directed to our comrades from inside of the anarchist movement they belong to, a movement that many of us here in Rojava (North-East Syria) come from.

Class War 13/2021

from Class War

Class War 13/2021: “Rojava Revolution”? “Anti-State”? “Anti-Capitalist”? Or a new mystification?

[T]he famous “Rojava revolution” is by no means part of the revolutionary “anti-capitalist” and “anti-state” dynamics. After all, it is nothing more than a local variant of the “Bolivarian Revolution” or “21st century socialism” controlled and limited by a powerful propaganda machine combining “libertarian municipalism”, Marxism-Leninism and “national liberation”. Those who deny this conclusion today are not slow to understand or poorly informed. They are simply followers of reform of Capital, its repainting on “red”, adherents of the strategy of changing everything so that the essential remains the same.

Banner Drop in Solidarity with Rojava by Anarchists in Indonesia

Solidarity for Rojava/Kurdistan

We’re trying to understand the situation of any combatants who have long fought for their lands and against invasion from all sides. In the past months, the attacks of the fascist Turkish occupation forces onto the liberated areas of North-Eastern Syria have rapidly increased. Ranging from Afrin, and the resistance areas of Sehba, to the front of Manbij and Ayn Issa, to Til Temir, and up to Derik in the North-East, the Turkish occupying army intensified their attacks against the civilian population and their revolutionary defense forces.

Martyrdominoes: Thoughts on Michael Reinoehl, John Brown, Civil War, & Martyrdom

This “Martyrdom” ideology is now being applied to Michael Reinoehl, the guy who killed a fascist in Portland. The following is a critique of this perspective as exemplified in Idris Robinson’s “Letter to Michael Reinoehl” (https://illwilleditions.com/letter-to-michael-reinoehl/) – though it has relevance to other situations and to the whole notion of martyrdom.
