After the police raided the Gaza solidarity encampment on Columbia University campus last week, arresting over 100 people but failing to suppress it, they conceded that the demonstrators could stay if they didn't put up tents. https://crimethinc.com/Columbia2024 Today, the demonstrators put up tents again. What is really happening here is a generational clash between those who benefit from a world order founded on colonial violence and those for whom it is unconscionable.

Воспоминания об Аароне Бушнелле по рассказам его друзей https://crimethinc.com/2024/02/29/vospominaniia-ob-aaronie-bushniellie-po-rasskazam-iegho-druziei 25 февраля Аарон Бушнелл поджег себя у ворот израильского посольства в Вашингтоне в качестве акции протеста против продолжающегося геноцида палестинцев в Газе. Враждебно настроенные критики попытались отмахнуться от акции Аарона, представив ее как результат психического заболевания. Напротив, выбор Аарона являлся политической акцией, обусловленной его анархическими убеждениями. #Русский

In every space of freedom opened in the course of struggle, however temporary, one of the most important steps is to open up a revolutionary commons through which resources can reach people outside the logic of capitalism, profit, and private property. In the first picture, we see a blanket at the encampment at Columbia University expressing solidarity with Gaza, now completing its third night despite the authorities arresting over a hundred people. In the second picture, we see "Revolution Market" at Gezi Park during the 2013 uprising against the autocratic rule of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey. Everything for everyone—everything for free.

Today, it has been one year since Dmitry Petrov, Cooper Andrews, and Finbar Cafferkey were killed in Ukraine. Dmitry dedicated his life to the anarchist movement, fighting on the front lines in Russia, Belarus, Rojava, and Ukraine against a backdrop of intensifying tyranny. The story of his life offers insight into the recent history of the former Soviet Union; it also represents an inspiring example of all the things an anarchist can accomplish, even in challenging conditions. https://crimethinc.com/Petrov

The students occupying Columbia University in solidarity with Gaza are tapping into a long history of resistance. In April 1968, at the high point of the anti-war and Black liberation movements, students and their non-student comrades occupied Columbia. The notorious anarchist group Up Against the Wall Motherfucker—"a street gang with an analysis"—made their public debut during this pitched struggle. You can read about it here, along with a protest strategy game based on the events, which some of the participants designed afterwards: https://crimethinc.com/Columbia

This afternoon, Columbia University brought in New York police arrest over a hundred students who were occupying the campus in solidarity with Palestinians. In response, a much bigger wave of student demonstrators has occupied the university. Tonight, the occupation continues, stronger than ever. Students—you can do this, too, wherever you are. The governments of the United States and Israel are not going to stop the genocide in Gaza unless we compel them to.

Despite New York police carried out a massive operation in which they arrested more than 100 students and seized their belonging, students are now occupying the other lawn at the campus in solidarity with the arrestees and those facing genocide in Gaza.

震撼するトルコ ヴァンの抵抗は如何にしてエルドアンを2度打倒したのか https://crimethinc.com/2024/04/12/zhen-han-surutoruko-vuannodi-kang-haru-he-nisiteerudoanwo2du-da-dao-sitanoka 以下の報告で、クルディスタン解放運動に長年参加してきた人物が、3月31日の統一地方選、そしてクルド人の多いヴァン県での歴史的な民主抵抗をきっかけにトルコの政治力学がどのように変化しているか解説する。 #日本語

Revolutionary Letter #15 Diane di Prima When you seize Columbia, when you seize Paris, take the media, tell the people what you’re doing what you’re up to and why and how you mean to do it, how they can help, keep the news coming, steady, you have 70 years of media conditioning to combat, it is a wall you must get through, somehow, to reach the instinctive man, who is struggling like a plant for light, for air when you seize a town, a campus, get hold of the power stations, the water, the transportation, forget to negotiate, forget how to negotiate, don’t wait for De Gaulle or Kirk to abdicate, they won’t, you are not ‘demonstrating’ you are fighting a war, fight to win, don’t wait for Johnson or Humphrey or Rockefeller, to agree to your terms take what you need, ‘it’s free because it’s yours’

We salute the courage of the students occupying Columbia University in protest against the university's complicity in the genocide in Gaza. The New York City police have surrounded the area and violently arrested supporters, but the occupiers stand firm. You can follow updates on telegram here: https://t.me/cuadencampment

"We walked straight into downtown, saw the blockades, the sleeping dragons, the big yellow puppet and went down to I street. All of the streets there were blockaded." "We were so crazy, so fearless. I remember at some point marching with the anarchists past this construction site. And a whole bunch of us picked up this fence, these couple of links of fence, and charged the police line. It was so wild, the cops running away from us!"

Many people remember the historic demonstrations that shut down the summit of the World Trade Organization in Seattle in 1999 as a breakthrough for anarchist direct action. The mobilization against the summit of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in Washington, DC the following April confirmed the movement's strength, popularizing tactics that are widely used today. This oral history explores the A16 mobilization in depth: https://crimethinc.com/A16 The photo shows the black bloc driving back police by charging them with two sections of fencing. 🏴

Today, people in Oakland, California, Eugene, Oregon, and Chicago, Illinois have blocked major highways. Demonstrators in Minnesota blockaded an Amazon facility. Others from Canada to Australia have shut down ports and other infrastructure. These courageous actions in solidarity with Palestinians are just one step towards stopping the genocide in Gaza, where the Israeli military has slaughtered over 34,000 people, the majority of whom are women and children. It's up to us to create a world without colonial violence of any kind. https://crimethinc.com/GazaSolidarity

April 15 is Steal Something from Work Day! https://crimethinc.com/StealfromWork2024 Every April, millions of workers around the world observe this day as a chance to settle accounts with those who are profiting off their labor. For us, it represents an opportunity to reflect on why so many people steal from their workplaces and what it would take to create a world in which doing so would be unnecessary.
