CrimethInc. Ex-Workers Collective

Nationalism means bigotry, chauvinism, and ultimately war and ethnic cleansing. It promises self-determination and delivers tyranny. Internationalism means we regularly publish articles in seven languages, collaborating with comrades all around the world to pursue collective liberation. https://crimethinc.com/languages

Carrying out “the largest deportation operation in American history,” as Trump has explicitly pledged to do, will wreck the US economy. It will deliver no material gains to the vast majority of his supporters, who benefit from the underpaid labor of the undocumented and the resulting cheapness of commodities. From a purely economic perspective, exploiting the labor of the undocumented inside the borders of the United States provides more material advantages to Trump’s supporters than deporting them ever could. By any measure, it’s a waste of resources: deporting a million people in one year will cost eighteen times more than the entire world spends annually on cancer research. In other words, mass deportations are a costly luxury indulgence that Trump’s supporters regard as worth the expense because they experience the need for violence so intensely. https://crimethinc.com/sacrificialviolence

This year, the challenge will be to fight as hard as we must while preserving the parts of ourselves that are imaginative, that are tender, that can not only desire a better world but believe it into being. We can do this. Happy new year, comrades. 🏴🖤

We have published a list of some of the events that have been organized in connection with the "Festivals of Resistance" call to action: https://crimethinc.com/2024/12/03/festivals-of-resistance-a-call-to-gather-the-weekend-before-trump-takes-office#events More soon to come.

Opór wobec lokalnego autorytaryzmu i wielobiegunowych imperializmów w Gruzji https://crimethinc.com/2024/12/11/opor-wobec-lokalnego-autorytaryzmu-i-wielobiegunowych-imperializmow-w-gruzji W setną rocznicę powstania w Gruzji przeciwko sowieckiej aneksji, walka o niezależność od rosyjskich rządów pozostaje główną siłą napędzającą powszechną mobilizację, która narastała w ciągu ostatnich kilku miesięcy. Jednak dzisiejszy ruch wskazuje na horyzont wykraczający poza wybór między Europą a Rosją, dwiema imperialnymi potęgami walczącymi o wpływy w regionie. Wyraża on rosnący społeczny gniew zarówno na lokalny autorytarny reżim, jak i na uchwyt, w jakim zagraniczne potęgi gospodarcze trzymają cały Kaukaz. #Polski

In a wide range of different traditions all around the world, people give gifts to celebrate important occasions. This is because gift-giving is more meaningful and more fulfilling than buying and selling. It fosters stronger communities and healthier relationships—both to each other and to material goods. This is one of the many reasons why we are anti-capitalists. 🏴

Sacrificial Violence and Retribution https://crimethinc.com/sacrificialviolence In this analysis, we explore the responses to two very different extrajudicial killings in order to understand the different forms of violence that are coming to the fore in our society today.

We invite you to join in organizing festivals of resistance on the weekend of January 18, immediately before Donald Trump takes office. https://crimethinc.com/festivalsofresistance By organizing ahead of Trump’s inauguration, we can seize the initiative and set our own timeline rather than being caught flat-footed and forced to react. We need to welcome new participants into these struggles and foster a revolutionary perspective that can orient us through the challenges ahead.

News from the Front: The Reflections of a Russian Anarchist in Rojava A Russian anarchist volunteer speaks on the collapse of the Assad regime, the future of Russia, and the looming threat of a Turkish-backed invasion of northeastern Syria. https://crimethinc.com/Rojava2024 "I watched with special feeling as the Russian columns passed by me at one of the positions. I peered into the faces of the soldiers, trying to understand whether they realized that all these years, they had been terrorizing the population with bombings, they had surrendered Afrin to the Turkish army, they had kept Assad’s regime alive—and now all this is over. Russian military aid to the Syrian dictatorship has ended. I do not think that those soldiers realized that they were looking into the eyes of a man from the same country as themselves, but who chose the other side of the barricades."
