Germania: Di nuovo in piazza contro il fascismo https://crimethinc.com/2024/03/06/germania-di-nuovo-in-piazza-contro-il-fascismo-intervista-1 Il partito di estrema destra Alternative für Deutschland (“Alternativa per la Germania”, AfD) sta guadagnando slancio nella politica tedesca dal 2017, quando è entrato in parlamento. Il 10 gennaio 2024, il gruppo di giornale investigativo Correctiv ha pubblicato un rapporto secondo cui, nel novembre precedente, membri di spicco dell’AfD si erano incontrati con un membro del “Movimento Identitario” (un partito fascista ed etno-nazionalista paneuropeo) in una villa fuori Berlino per ideare un complotto per deportare milioni di immigrati, compresi quelli con cittadinanza tedesca. Ciò ha provocato un’ondata di manifestazioni in tutta la Germania. Nella traduzione e nell’intervista che seguono, gli antifascisti tedeschi esplorano l’ascesa della politica fascista in Germania e il potenziale delle mobilitazioni contro di essa. #Italiano

Germania: la lotta contro la Gigafactory Tesla Alcuni occupano la foresta, altri chiudono la rete elettrica https://crimethinc.com/2024/03/08/germany-the-fight-against-the-tesla-gigafactory-alcuni-occupano-la-foresta-altri-chiudono-la-rete-elettrica Da diversi anni, abitanti, anarchici, ambientalisti e altri sono impegnati in una lotta contro la “gigafactory” di Tesla nella piccola città di Grünheide, a soli cinque chilometri a sud-est di Berlino. Molte questioni importanti convergono in questo conflitto: la lotta tra il capitalismo globale e gli ecosistemi locali, la questione di ciò che conta come “sostenibile” e di chi lo definisce, il potere che miliardari come Elon Musk hanno acquisito e stanno usando per rimodellare la nostra società in linea con la loro visione autoritaria. Qui presentiamo un’intervista con un partecipante all’occupazione della foresta e una traduzione del comunicato di Vulkangruppe, per offrire molteplici prospettive del movimento contro la gigafactory Tesla. #Italiano

Germany: The Fight against the Tesla Gigafactory https://crimethinc.com/TeslaGermany For several years now, locals, anarchists, environmentalists, and others have been engaged in a struggle against a Tesla “gigafactory” in the small town of Grünheide, only five kilometers southeast of the Berlin city limits. Now, Tesla is seeking to expand the facility at further cost to local forest and groundwater. After locals voted against the expansion, activists established an occupation in the forest that is slated for destruction. Saboteurs burned an electrical pylon, halting work at the Tesla factory and costing the company hundreds of millions of euros. Here, we present an interview with a participant in the forest occupation and a translation of a statement from the group that shut down electricity to the Tesla plant.

2023 in Chile: 50 Years of the Military Coup Neoliberal Consolidation after the Revolt of 2019 https://crimethinc.com/Chile2023 In 2019, an uprising broke out in Chile, wresting control of the streets from police and politicians. Eventually, the authorities managed to redirect this momentum into an effort to replace the constitution, a relic of the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. The attempt to ratify a new constitution failed, however, illustrating the risks of channeling grassroots movements into institutional reform. As a result, a resurgent right wing has regained the initiative in Chile, while the left politicians who came to power have subordinated themselves to the market and the police. To this day, Chile is governed according to the constitution that was introduced as a consequence of the military coup. In the following account, members of the Anarchist Assembly of Biobío trace this story through the end of the year 2023, chronicling the consequences of the cooptation of the uprising of 2019.

„O tomhle naše vládnoucí třída rozhodla, že bude normální“ O sebeupálení Aarona Bushnella na podporu solidarity s Gazou https://crimethinc.com/2024/02/26/o-tomhle-nase-vladnouci-trida-rozhodla-ze-bude-normalni-o-sebeupaleni-aarona-bushnella-na-podporu-solidarity-s-gazou „Jmenuji se Aaron Bushnell. Jsem aktivním příslušníkem amerického letectva a už nebudu spoluviníkem genocidy. Chystám se k extrémnímu protestnímu aktu – ale ve srovnání s tím, co zažívají lidé v Palestině rukou svých kolonizátorů, to vůbec není extrémní. O tomhle naše vládnoucí třída rozhodla, že bude normální.“ #Čeština

Germany: In the Streets against Fascism, Again An Interview https://crimethinc.com/Germany2024 The far-right party Alternative für Deutschland (“Alternative for Germany”) has been gaining momentum in German politics since 2017, when they entered the parliament. On January 10, 2024, an investigative journalism group reported that prominent members of the AfD had met with a member of another fascist party to devise a plot to deport millions of immigrants, including those with German citizenship. This precipitated a wave of anti-fascist demonstrations around Germany. In this translation and interview, German anti-fascists explore the rise of fascist politics in Germany and the potential of the mobilizations against it.

103 years ago today, the participants in the Kronstadt uprising released the first issue of their daily paper. Three proposals contended within the Russian Revolution. Russian anti-capitalists debated whether power should be vested in representative electoral politics, in a one-party dictatorship, or directly in horizontally organized workers’ councils [soviets]. The Kronstadt uprising demanded direct control by workers’ councils. Here, you can read the entire text of all 14 issues of the newspaper published by the Kronstadt rebels, the Izvestia [news] of the Provisional Revolutionary Committee of Sailors, Soldiers, and Workers of the Town of Kronstadt. https://crimethinc.com/kronstadt Many different factions have attempted to portray the Kronstadt uprising according to many different ideological frameworks. This is a rare opportunity to see the rebellion from the perspective of the rebels themselves.

Memórias de Aaron Bushnell https://crimethinc.com/MemoriasDeAaron Em 25 de fevereiro, Aaron Bushnell ateou fogo a si mesmo no portão da embaixada israelense em Washington, DC, como um ato de protesto contra o genocídio em curso dos palestinos em Gaza. Críticos hostis tentaram ignorar a ação de Aaron como consequência de uma doença mental. Pelo contrário, a escolha de Aaron foi uma ação política decorrente das suas convicções anarquistas profundamente arraigadas. Nesta coleção, compartilhamos o resumo de Aaron sobre sua política, seguido pelo depoimento de três amigos próximos de Aaron. "Sou anarquista, o que significa que acredito na abolição de todas as estruturas hierárquicas de poder, especialmente do capitalismo e do Estado... Isto também informa a forma como quero me organizar, pois acredito que qualquer estrutura hierárquica de poder está fadada a reproduzir a dinâmica de classe e a opressão." -Aaron Bushnell #Português

Both major presidential candidates visited the US border today in a competition to come off as the most capable of defending the artificial barriers that separate the haves from the have-nots, the included from the excluded. "The US two-party system functions like a ratchet, with the Republican Party steadily pulling public policy and permissible discourse to the right while Democrats, in seeking to acquire power by chasing the political center, serve as a mechanism that prevents policy and discourse from shifting back." -The Insidious Workings of the Political Ratchet https://crimethinc.com/theratchet The real alternative is the anarchist opposition to all forms of oppression. Solidarity, mutual aid, and resistance to domination. https://crimethinc.com/borders

I critici ostili [a questo atto] hanno tentato di far passare l’azione di Aaron come la conseguenza di una malattia mentale.

Nella raccolta che segue condividiamo la sintesi della sua politica, seguita dalle testimonianze di tre amici intimi di Aaron. #Italiano

Memories of Aaron Bushnell https://crimethinc.com/AaronMemories On February 25, Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire at the gate of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC as an act of protest against the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Hostile critics have attempted to shrug off Aaron’s action as the consequence of mental illness. On the contrary, Aaron’s choice was a political action arising from his deeply held anarchist convictions. In this collection, we share Aaron’s own summary of his politics, followed by testimony from three of Aaron’s close friends. "I am an anarchist, which means I believe in the abolition of all hierarchical power structures, especially capitalism and the state… I view the work we do as fighting back in the class war which the capitalist class wages on the rest of humanity. This also informs the way in which I want to organize, as I believe that any hierarchical power structure is bound to reproduce class dynamics and oppression." -Aaron Bushnell
