In Sunday's elections, Brazilians will choose between Bolsonaro and Lula—between the extreme right and the capitalist left. Whoever wins, both the threat of fascism and the election itself serve to discipline people out of the streets, pushing them back to electoral politics. Lula has been president before. He and his hand-picked successor, Dilma, attempted to simultaneously please ordinary voters and financial elites. In response to their failures, in 2013, millions participated in a wave of anarchist and autonomous protest. https://crimethinc.com/2017/06/12/fighting-in-brazil-2013-2015-three-years-of-revolt-repression-and-reaction

Révolte en Iran La résurrection féministe et le début de la fin du Régime https://crimethinc.com/2022/09/28/revolte-en-iran-la-resurrection-feministe-et-le-debut-de-la-fin-du-regime Le 16 septembre 2022, la police des mœurs de Téhéran a assassiné une femme de 22 ans ; prétendument car elle ne portait pas le hijab comme l’exige la politique de l’État iranien. En réponse, des Iranien.ne.s sont descendu.e.s dans la rue depuis près de deux semaines, affrontant la police et ouvrant des espaces d’une liberté ingouvernable. Pour beaucoup en Iran, il semble qu’un processus révolutionnaire soit en cours. En collaboration avec le Collectif 98, un groupe anticapitaliste et antiautoritaire couvrant les luttes en Iran, nous avons pu interviewer des féministes iraniennes et kurdes sur la situation. Dans le texte, ils explorent la signification historique de cette vague de révolte et les forces qui l’ont déclenchée. #Français

A participant in CrimethInc. projects spoke on the Antifada podcast about the lines of transmission through which the rebellious aspirations of the 1960s influenced the subcultural movements of the 1980s and 1990s and the new revolutionary movements of the early 21st century. https://patreon.com/posts/armed-love-4-is-72502978

In the era of disaster, as we react to one crisis after another, let's also build the infrastructure for a new society with new values. Fighting against capitalism and opening up spaces of freedom and solidarity are essential aspects of disaster relief. https://crimethinc.com/AtlantaForest

We should not assume that when ecological crises get “bad enough,” the state will eventually be forced to do something to help us. Unevenly distributed risks and consequences have always been essential to the capitalist market, especially in a colonial society like the US.

As Hurricane Ian hits the Southeast, much of the suffering it is inflicting is not a "natural" disaster, but the consequence of structuring our society according to the imperatives of profit and control rather than the needs of human beings. https://crimethinc.com/Louisiana2021 Extreme weather events produced by climate change, coupled with other forms of crisis, are now so commonplace that they are outstripping the media’s ability to report on them and generating compassion fatigue. Over the years to come, these crises will impact more and more of us.

Sinds het begin van de invasie zijn er minstens 55 brandstichtingen geweest, waarvan een derde in de afgelopen week. Maar hebben de Russische demonstranten enige kans om de oorlog te stoppen? #Nederlands

Oroszország: Mozgósítás és ellenállás Fel tud-e nőni az orosz háborúellenes mozgalom a kihíváshoz? https://crimethinc.com/2022/09/26/oroszorszag-mozgositas-es-ellenallas-fel-tud-e-noni-az-orosz-haboruellenes-mozgalom-a-kihivashoz Válaszul arra, hogy Putyin mozgósította az oroszokat a hadseregbe, újabb tüntetések és gyújtogatások robbantak ki.

Russia: Mobilitazione e Resistenza Il movimento russo per la guerra può essere all’altezza della sfida? https://crimethinc.com/2022/09/26/russia-mobilitazione-e-resistenza-il-movimento-russo-per-la-guerra-puo-essere-allaltezza-della-sfida In risposta alla mobilitazione dei russi nell'esercito da parte di Putin, è scoppiata una nuova serie di proteste e di incendi dolosi.

So far, there are no signs of Russian police losing control in the metropolises, but around the periphery, some demonstrations are becoming more unruly. In this video, Russian police struggle to maintain control over protesters in Endirei, Dagestan.

Today, in protest against the military mobilization in Russia, one man set himself on fire, while another shot the head of the local recruitment commission. There have been at least 55 arson attacks since the beginning of the invasion, a third of them in the past week. But do Russian protesters have any chance of stopping the war? https://crimethinc.com/RussiaMobilization We explore the state of the Russian anti-war movement and the potential for unrest in Russian society at large.

Regarding the victory of the far right in the Italian elections—we still remember how, in 2018, anti-fascists allegedly kidnapped a far-right Forza Nuova leader and bound him with tape, and the next day 1000 Sicilians marched with tape to support the accused. https://crimethinc.com/italy Centrist politicians have paved the way for the rise of the far right in Italy by adopting their anti-immigrant agenda, enabling them to continue to escalate their rhetoric. Police have used violent force to open spaces for the far right to recruit in the streets. Our hearts go out to those who continue to resist them.

Cheers to whoever pasted our "Hands Off!" posters all around St. Louis, Missouri, where far-right Republican politicians have criminalized abortion in the course of their patriarchal assault on liberties of all kinds.

We mourn the murder of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini at the hands of the Iranian police.
