La Journée « Vole Quelque Chose au Travail » Le 15 avril, tous les ans https://fr.crimethinc.com/steal-something-from-work-day Ton·ta patron·ne travaille-t-iel moins que toi mais gagne-t-iel un plus gros salaire ? Est-ce que quelqu’un se déplace en voiture avec chauffeur·euse ou en jet privé à tes frais ?

Several organizations are calling for actons in solidarity with people in Gaza on April 15 under the hashtag #Strike4Gaza. This is a good time to recall how demonstrators shut down a Raytheon arms manufacturing facility last November. They mapped out all the entrances, confidentially arranged for dozens of people to block them all at the start of the workday, and then drew hundreds more to the protest through social media posts. https://crimethinc.com/Raytheon This is a reproducible model.

On April 12, 1918, the newly-formed Cheka raided 26 anarchist centers in Moscow, murdering dozens and arresting hundreds. The Bolsheviks aimed to consolidate power over the revolution, and the anarchists represented the most radical force within it. The Bolshevik authorities used reactionary rhetoric to justify this attack, accusing the anarchists of being “bandits” and “criminals” for taking over property belonging to the ruling class and turning it into social centers and collective housing. The Bolsheviks were seeking alliances with the privileged classes: on the day of the raids, wealthy homeowners came along with the Cheka to recover their properties and abuse the arrested revolutionaries. The Cheka began to execute arrestees without trials; they organized the Gulag system that devoured millions, the vast majority of them peasants and workers. When the Bolsheviks usurped the Russian Revolution, it was a disaster for anti-capitalist movements everywhere. https://crimethinc.com/Counterrevolution

Tremors in Turkey How the Resistance of Wan Defeated Erdoğan Twice https://crimethinc.com/Wan2024 In the city of Wan, in the part of Kurdistan ruled by Turkey, the Turkish state has repeatedly invalidated election results outright, installing its own representatives in positions of authority without any pretense of democracy. They tried to do this once again in response to the municipal elections of March 31. In response, demonstrators flooded the streets, ultimately forcing the state to capitulate. In this report, a longtime participant in the Kurdistan liberation movement explains how the political dynamics in Turkey are shifting in the wake of the resistance in Wan.

Niemcy: Znów Na Ulicach Przeciwko Faszyzmowi https://crimethinc.com/2024/03/06/niemcy-znow-na-ulicach-przeciwko-faszyzmowi Skrajnie prawicowa partia Alternative für Deutschland („Alternatywa dla Niemiec”, AfD) nabiera rozpędu w niemieckiej polityce od 2017 roku, kiedy to weszła do parlamentu. W dniu 10 stycznia 2024 r. grupa dziennikarstwa śledczego Correctiv opublikowała raport, z którego wynikało, że w listopadzie ubiegłego roku prominentni członkowie AfD spotkali się z członkiem „Ruchu Identytarnego” (paneuropejskiej partii faszystowskiej i etnonacjonalistycznej) w rezydencji pod Berlinem, aby opracować spisek mający na celu deportację milionów imigrantów, w tym osób posiadających niemieckie obywatelstwo. Wywołało to falę demonstracji w całych Niemczech. W poniższym tłumaczeniu i wywiadzie niemieccy antyfaszyści badają wzrost faszystowskiej polityki w Niemczech i potencjał mobilizacji przeciwko niej. #Polski

As the Arizona Supreme Court takes steps towards completely criminalizing abortion, it is a mistake simply to count on electoral politics for the solution. We need to foster grassroots means of abortion access—both to address the immediate needs of those impacted by this attack and also because it will be more difficult to keep abortion illegal if massive numbers of people nonetheless continue to access it. https://crimethinc.com/DefendAbortionAccess Learn how activists in Poland dealt with the state criminalizing abortion: https://crimethinc.com/abortionwithoutborders

Unrest has broken out in the regions of Kurdistan that are occupied by the Turkish government. People are protesting the decision of the ruling AKP party, the party of president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, to give the post of mayor of the city of Wan to its own candidate, despite the fact that the AKP candidate lost the election. This decision, and the widespread violence with which it has been imposed, illustrates how Turkish democracy is just a pretty façade on autocracy.

In 1997, our collective generated significant controversy with a text entitled "Washing and Brainwashing," in which we responded to the arguments that Mary Douglas set forth in her landmark work Purity and Danger: An Analysis of Concepts of Pollution and Taboo. For nearly three decades, our critics have systematically misrepresented this essay in order to smear anarchism as something "dirty." At last, we have revisited the topic, preparing a polemic that is sure to put an end to the controversy once and for all: https://crimethinc.com/illumination

In 2008, the French government raided a small village in the countryside, initiating a massive terrorism case that subjected ten defendants to a decade-long ordeal. The case ended in a total defeat for the prosecution. https://crimethinc.com/Tarnac Yet today, at the bond hearing for Jack Mazurek, who is accused of taking action to #StopCopCity, Atlanta prosecutors called attention to the presence of books associated with the exonerated Tarnac defendants in Jack's house. For the prosecutors engaged in this witch hunt, the facts are beside the point. All that matters is using the blunt force of the judicial process itself to try to crush dissent.

This is what Elon Musk gets for trying to turn Twitter into a Nazi factory. "On a platform like Twitter, a project like ours is like a canary in a coal mine: when things change, we are the first to go, and that means the clock is ticking for everyone." https://crimethinc.com/TwitterCanary

Em 14 de março de 2018, a ativista feminista negra e vereadora Marielle Franco foi assassinada no centro do Rio de Janeiro. Só agora em 24 de Março de 2024 houve detenções relacionadas ao seu assassinato – talvez porque os acusados incluíam o chefe da Polícia Civil, um deputado e o seu irmão, que estão ligados ao crime organizado. Há poucos dias, 23 ativistas foram absolvidos pelos tribunais da mesma cidade, depois de um doloroso processo de criminalizar os atos de 2013. Ambos os casos mostram as interligações entre o Estado, os tribunais, a polícia, as empresas capitalistas legais e ilegais e as forças paramilitares. Em vez de recorrer a algumas destas instituições para nos proteger das outras, temos de as compreender como um aparelho único de repressão e organizar a resistência popular contra elas. https://crimethinc.com/Brazil2018 #Português
