The fact that an aspiring autocrat has won an election does not oblige us to submit to him. No one should excuse being complicit in tyranny on the grounds that other people voted for it. https://crimethinc.com/democracy People will scribble in a box for any number of reasons—misinformation, advertising, bigotry, fantasies of power—regardless of whether it is actually in their best interests. But what we do every day determines what kind of society we live in.

In the United States, we have two months to prepare to confront fascism on a scale we have not experienced in our lifetimes. Now—right now—is the time to call for public assemblies to connect people who are disillusioned with the electoral process and prepare the ground for grassroots organizing and resistance. We can help to equip you with posters, stickers, and reading material, including how-to guides and introductory literature, with which to make the case to your community. https://store.crimethinc.com/ Get started now while there is still time.

This moment offers us the opportunity to show the failure of Democratic strategies based in demobilizing our movements and chasing the Republicans further to the right. We must show how much damage those have done—and invite people to join us in preparing to resist. crimethinc.com/FightTrump2024 🏴

History Repeats Itself: First as Farce, Then as Tragedy https://crimethinc.com/FightTrump2024 Donald Trump has won the 2024 election. That means that we will have to fight many of the battles of 2017-2020 all over again. But first, in order to understand the scale of what we’re up against, let’s look at how we got here. In many ways, the Democrats are responsible for Donald Trump’s return to power.

Welcome to 1953, a pit stop on the way to 1933.

Анархисты на волне протестов в Индонезии https://crimethinc.com/2024/09/23/anarkhisty-na-volnie-protiestov-v-indoniezii В августе 2024 года Индонезию захлестнула волна протестов, якобы в ответ на политические махинации, направленные на избрание преемника президента Джоко Видодо, известного в народе как Джокови. В англоязычном мире об этих протестах распространилось очень мало информации. #Русский

Tras varios meses de incendios forestales, huracanes y olas de calor, presentamos dos carteles: «El capitalismo es la danza de la muerte» y «El capitalismo se alimenta de la muerte». https://crimethinc.com/2024/10/24/el-capitalismo-prospera-con-la-muerte-muerte-al-capitalismo-dos-carteles-1 #Español

With the future uncertain, it's a good time to do outreach—to explain what we're fighting for and invite people to act alongside us. You can get copies of To Change Everything, our introduction to anarchism, for the costs of printing and postage alone: https://store.crimethinc.com/products/to-change-everything 🏴

While we are sharing posters in this vein, we should include "Capitalism Is a Death Cult," from 2020. https://crimethinc.com/posters/capitalism-is-a-death-cult Nothing matters to the market but profit. Forests only have value as timber or toilet paper; animals only have value as hot dogs or hamburgers. The precious, unrepeatable moments of our lives only have value as labor hours determined by the imperatives of commerce... Some things are worth risking our lives for. Perpetuating capitalism is not one of them. If we have to risk our lives, let’s risk them for something worthwhile, like creating a world in which no one has to risk death for a paycheck.

Reflexiones sobre Occupy Wall Street, trece años después https://crimethinc.com/2024/09/17/reflexiones-sobre-occupy-wall-street-trece-anos-despues Revisando el movimiento Occupy hoy, podemos ver cómo el terreno de los movimientos sociales ha cambiado drásticamente a medida que nuestra sociedad se ha polarizado. #Español

O Capitalismo é a Dança da Morte https://crimethinc.com/2024/10/24/o-capitalismo-prospera-com-a-morte-morte-ao-capitalismo-dois-posters Da Grécia à Amazônia, ambientalistas e brigadas de incêndio voluntárias estão arriscando suas vidas para proteger ecossistemas ameaçados pela expansão urbana, agronegócio e mudanças climáticas. No entanto, as causas desses desastres continuam acelerando esse processo, impulsionadas por um sistema que recompensa o lucro a qualquer custo. Somos arrastadas por um ritmo que não podemos controlar, nos movendo cada vez mais rápido em direção à nossa própria ruína. O capitalismo é a dança macabra, a dança da morte. #Português

Capitalism Is the Dance of Death A poster https://crimethinc.com/CapitalismDeath From Greece to the Amazon, environmentalists and volunteer firefighters are risking their lives to protect ecosystems threatened by urban expansion, agribusiness, and industrially produced climate change. Yet the causes of these disasters are only accelerating, driven by a system that rewards profit at any price. We are swept up in a rhythm we cannot control, moving faster and faster towards our doom. Capitalism is the danse macabre, the dance of death.

Capitalism Thrives on Death—Death to Capitalism A poster https://crimethinc.com/posters/capitalism-thrives-on-death The market takes life and leaves destruction in its wake. It forces you to sell away the irreplaceable hours of your life to enrich bosses and bureaucrats—death on the installment plan. It rewards landlords for evicting families, engineers for inventing war machines, politicians for gentrification and genocide. Capitalism reduces forests to junk mail and ecosystems to ash. A rally for the stock market means hurricanes and heat waves for us. Species by species, continent by continent, it is turning the whole world into a graveyard. If we don’t abolish it, it will destroy everything we love. This is a clear-cut case of self-defense.
