In short, to take another step towards freedom from all forms of oppression—towards what we call <a href=\"/tce\">anarchy</a>, by which we mean egalitarian relationships based in self-determination, solidarity, and mutual aid. Anarchists have been central to May Day since its <a href=\"/2019/05/07/may-day-2019-in-paris-we-are-not-giving-up-countering-the-new-repression-a-full-analysis-from-the-streets\">origins</a> as a labor holiday in 1886, when police in Chicago attempted to suppress anarchist labor organizers who were fighting for right to the eight-hour workday. Today, as intensifying authoritarianism propels more and more people into action, we have a <a href=\"/2026/04/08/the-sound-and-fury-of-a-collapsing-order-as-trumps-power-wanes-a-window-opens-for-change\">window of opportunity</a> to make real change. Towards that end, we present some starting points and a handbill to promote them.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"shadow\">\n<a href=\"/zines/what-we-want-for-may-day-2026\"> <img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/04/27/what-we-want-for-may-day-2026-2up-preview.png\" /> </a>   <figcaption>\n    <p>Click the image to download and print the PDF.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h1 id=\"a-strike-is-a-blow\"><a href=\"#a-strike-is-a-blow\"></a>A Strike Is a Blow</h1>\n\n<p>This year, inspired in part by the massive <a href=\"/2026/02/01/crowd-control-appeasement-vanguardism-and-the-general-strike-an-analysis-from-the-twin-cities\">general strike</a> in the Twin Cities on January 23 in response to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement terror campaign, many people around the country are calling for a general strike on May Day. Fully <a href=\"https://advocate.stpaulunions.org/2026/01/30/poll-finds-staggering-support-among-minnesotans-for-massive-ice-protest/\">one in four</a> adults in Minnesota participated in the January 23 general strike in some way. We probably won’t see anything approaching that scale in most of the country on May Day, but nonetheless, it is a step towards building the collective capacity to use economic leverage against capitalists and despots.</p>\n\n<p>Various <a href=\"https://maydaystrong.org/\">liberal organizations</a> are calling for strikes and boycotts. To carry off a real general strike, however, will take more than a voluntary pause in working and consuming. Much has changed in the economy since the powerful strikes of the early 20th century that won the rights workers are now losing. The shift of the majority of workers from industrial production jobs into the service industry and the introduction of automation have made it much more difficult to paralyze the economy simply by walking out of our workplaces.</p>\n\n<p>A few years ago, we published a <a href=\"/2022/06/07/a-tale-of-two-general-strikes-updating-the-general-strike-for-the-21st-century\">detailed analysis</a> of the last two general strikes that occurred in Oakland, California (in 1946 and 2011), exploring how labor and labor struggles have changed over the past century and how this ought to inform our efforts to update the strike and other forms of resistance for the 21st century.</p>\n\n<p>We summarized our findings thus:</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"darkred\">\n  <p>What would a modern-day general strike look like? It would involve a broad range of precarious workers, unemployed people, and other rebels taking disruptive action to shut down the economy from outside. However the strike might begin, it would have to proliferate horizontally, spreading beyond any single demographic as a contagious rebellion exceeding the control of any organization. It would entail targeting the choke points of the economy—physical locations like ports, highways, and distribution centers as well as online venues and other forms of infrastructure, not to mention the workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, and prisons in which most of us spend most of our lives. It would necessitate defying politicians, union representatives, community leaders, and everyone who defends their legitimacy. It would be controversial. To persist, it would require seizing and redistributing resources. Many of these actions would take place within workplaces, but to center the agency of official unions or other organizations that have legal standing under capitalism would be to ensure defeat in advance.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/04/27/1.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Demonstrators in Chicago display a banner during the “<a href=\"/2026/03/31/anarchists-at-the-2026-no-kings-rallies-reports-from-around-the-country\">No Kings</a>” protest on March 28, 2026.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"aim-beyond-the-target\"><a href=\"#aim-beyond-the-target\"></a>Aim Beyond the Target</h1>\n\n<p>Temporarily shutting down the economy is only one step on the road towards a better world. We also have to identify the changes that we want to make and move towards them proactively.</p>\n\n<p>At a time when “Abolish ICE” has become a <a href=\"https://www.axios.com/2026/03/04/trump-ice-support-abolish-half-americans-record-poll\">viable political proposal</a>, there is now a risk that people will be drawn into passive electoral programs, mistaking them for radical social change. Why is this dangerous?</p>\n\n<p>The <a href=\"/2020/06/17/snapshots-from-the-uprising-accounts-from-three-weeks-of-countrywide-revolt\">uprising</a> of 2020—the most powerful social movement in living memory—began when people took <a href=\"/2017/03/14/direct-action-guide\">direct action</a> to impose consequences on the Minneapolis police for murdering George Floyd. In response to the <a href=\"/2020/06/10/the-siege-of-the-third-precinct-in-minneapolis-an-account-and-analysis\">burning</a> of the Third Precinct, millions of people around the country leaped into action. The movement only reached a plateau when reformists regained control, proposing to defund the police through municipal initiatives rather than grassroots action. By the time it became clear that local and state governments were never going to do any such thing, the movement had lost its momentum.</p>\n\n<p>The lesson is clear: we have to become capable of making the changes we desire directly. Governments will only grant us what they know we can accomplish for ourselves.</p>\n\n<p>The best way to distinguish our proposals from those of electoral reformists is to organize actions via which people can immediately achieve concrete effects. These actions should transform the participants’ relationship to their own agency, enabling them to develop a stronger sense of their power and a clearer understanding of the advantages of grassroots horizontal organizing.</p>\n\n<p>Engineering consists of breaking down a big goal into a series of achievable concrete tasks. We would do well to work out what the steps are to doing away with autocracy once and for all, and propose things that people can do right now to take a step towards this. At the same time, we should also spell out the subsequent steps in the process, the ones that we are aiming to build capacity to undertake, so that reformists are not able to usurp momentum for social change.</p>\n\n<p>The <a href=\"/escalation2026\">movement against ICE</a> in the Twin Cities demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach. Once a large number of people understood that they could make a difference by forming <a href=\"/2026/01/21/from-rapid-response-to-revolutionary-social-change-the-potential-of-the-rapid-response-networks\">rapid response networks</a> and engaging in other forms of direct action, the power dynamics in the Twin Cities shifted and the Trump regime was forced to dial down its assault. Once again, the movement went no further only because it was not clear to enough people what the next step in the process might be. We need to promote a wide array of reproducible grassroots tactics that can be taken up far outside radical circles—ideally, tactics that aren’t especially difficult or costly to try out in relation to what one can achieve by using them—and popularize a clear roadmap to social change that does not rely on parties or politicians.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/04/27/6.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Anarchists march through downtown Seattle on May Day 2012, en route to <a href=\"/2017/05/01/mayday2017#section-15\">smash up</a> the same Niketown outlet famously damaged by demonstrators against the 1999 World Trade Organization summit.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"what-we-really-want-for-may-day\"><a href=\"#what-we-really-want-for-may-day\"></a>What We Want for May Day</h1>\n\n<p>A few starting points.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"close-the-camps\"><a href=\"#close-the-camps\"></a>Close the Camps</h2>\n\n<p class=\"darkred\"><strong>End the targeting of immigrants.

      "content_html": "<p>On March 28, millions of people around the country will participate in the third day of <a href=\"https://www.nokings.org/\">No Kings</a> rallies. We are calling on everyone to engage with these rallies as an opportunity to build towards more concrete forms of organizing and action. You can read an array of options for what you could do <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2026/03/16/no-kings-no-masters-a-call-to-mobilize-at-the-march-28-no-kings-rallies#what-you-can-do-at-no-kings\">here</a>.</p>\n\n<p>In October 2025, we published a <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/10/09/no-kings-no-masters-a-call-for-anti-authoritarian-blocs-at-the-october-18-no-kings-demonstrations\">call</a> for anti-authoritarian blocs at the second No Kings demonstrations. Anarchists across the country engaged with the October No Kings demonstrations in a variety of ways. You can read a collection of reportbacks <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/10/20/anarchists-at-the-no-kings-rallies-reports-from-around-the-country\">here</a>.</p>\n\n<p>At that time, Trump had just <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/09/18/make-ready-safeguarding-our-movements-against-repression-how-to-respond-to-donald-trumps-threats\">declared</a> “antifa” was a “major terrorist organization,” sowing fear among opponents of the administration. Yet the Trump administration was not able to escalate to a large-scale crackdown on radicals; federal mercenaries still had their hands full attempting to carry out mass arrests and deportations targeting immigrants.</p>\n\n<p>In January 2026, the administration tried to solve this problem by sending thousands of ICE agents to the Twin Cities, with the intention of developing a model via which they could go city to city, deporting thousands of people at a time. But the plan backfired, drawing tens of thousands of people <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2026/02/23/their-escalation-and-ours-how-the-fight-against-ice-in-the-twin-cities-gained-momentum\">into action</a> against ICE and turning public opinion <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/04/ice-trump-immigration-poll\">against</a> mass deportations.</p>\n\n<p>The fight in the Twin Cities represents a turning point in the history of the second Trump administration. At the grassroots level, the social and political distance between the various forces opposed to Trump is shrinking. The No Kings demonstrations offer an opportunity to consolidate these connections, taking advantage of the widespread popularity of the resistance in Minnesota.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/03/16/1.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<p>Repression is ramping up in regions under the control of Trump’s allies, exemplified by the <a href=\"https://bsky.app/profile/crimethinc.com/post/3mgxqxypssc2o\">absurd conviction</a> of nine defendants in the first Prairieland trial. Yet the federal government has picked too many fights at once and is now bogged down from Minneapolis to the Strait of Hormuz. The most effective way to maximize the security of participants in any movement is to expand the numbers of people who participate and escalate the pressure all together, so the authorities can’t isolate and target individuals. As one anarchist said after the October No Kings demonstrations,</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>What the hell are people talking about it being “dangerous” for anarchists to be at No Kings? It’s dangerous for us NOT to be there.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Thus far, for the most part, the No Kings rallies have not functioned to connect people in active networks to build the capacity to fight. Rather, they have functioned as symbolic expressions of dissatisfaction, revealing anger with both the Republicans and the Democrats. They have shown that there is mass opposition to the regime, but it remains to us to create opportunities for that opposition to assume concrete forms.</p>\n\n<p>The time is ripe. Let’s rise to the occasion.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/03/16/crown-fire.gif\" />\n</figure>\n\n<h1 id=\"what-you-can-do-at-no-kings\"><a href=\"#what-you-can-do-at-no-kings\"></a>What You Can Do at No Kings</h1>\n\n<p>Here is an array of options, from most ambitious to easiest. Whoever you are, whatever resources you have at your disposal, there is something you can do.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"call-for-an-anti-authoritarian-bloc\"><a href=\"#call-for-an-anti-authoritarian-bloc\"></a>Call for an Anti-Authoritarian Bloc</h2>\n\n<p>Get together with your friends and form a bloc at the rally. With four people, you can paint a big banner proclaiming your politics; with a dozen or more, you might be one of the most organized and visible blocs in the demonstration.</p>\n\n<p>Announce your bloc and tell people how to participate: for example, “meet at the black flags at [a specific intersection].”</p>\n\n<p>You could start before the main rally begins and move to it in a group, forming a “feeder march.”</p>\n\n<p>In October, a small bloc of anti-authoritarians in <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/10/20/anarchists-at-the-no-kings-rallies-reports-from-around-the-country#account-i-a-small-city\">one small city</a> spontaneously led the entire rally in an unpermitted march all around downtown.</p>\n\n<p>If you have good relations with the rally organizers where you are, you could coordinate with them to play a specific role in the march—for example, dealing with counter-protesters, or leading participants to an action at a local target such as a federal building or ICE facility.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/03/16/crown-fire-separator.gif\" />\n</figure>\n\n<h2 id=\"publicize-a-follow-up-event\"><a href=\"#publicize-a-follow-up-event\"></a>Publicize a Follow-up Event</h2>\n\n<p>Plan an event or a series of events to take place after the rally. Distribute fliers at the rally spreading the word.</p>\n\n<p>You could bring someone who has participated in resisting ICE in the Twin Cities to speak about the power of direct action, or person from the Palestinian, Venezuelan, or Iranian diasporas to speak about the impact of Trump’s imperialist ventures. You could organize a teach-in about a local issue, followed by a demonstration addressing it.</p>\n\n<p>You could organize an <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/10/how-to-organize-an-assembly-preparing-to-respond-to-an-era-of-disasters-and-despotism\">assembly</a>, a skill share, a local <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2026/01/21/from-rapid-response-to-revolutionary-social-change-the-potential-of-the-rapid-response-networks\">rapid response network</a>, or a film screening. Whatever you plan, make it accessible to the wide range of people you can expect to encounter at the No Kings demonstration but pointing the way to a more radical framework with each event building upon the last. Envision a future in which your community looks back at the No Kings rally as the beginning of a new chapter of radical resistance.</p>\n\n<p>Make as many fliers as you expect to see participants at the demonstration. If the last No Kings demonstration in your town brought out a thousand people, you need at least a thousand fliers.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/03/16/crown-fire-separator.gif\" />\n</figure>\n\n<h2 id=\"have-zines-will-distro\"><a href=\"#have-zines-will-distro\"></a>Have Zines, Will Distro</h2>\n\n<p>Set up a zine table at your local No Kings protest. For some people, these might be the first zines they’ve ever read. Focus on approachable and introductory texts, but don’t conceal your radical positions—many people are hungry for real alternatives now.  <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/zines\">CrimethInc.</a> and <a href=\"https://www.sproutdistro.com/\">Sprout Distro</a> offer good selections of PDFs to print.

      "content_html": "<p>Three years have passed since Georgia State Patrolmen Jerry Parrish, Bryland Myers, Jonathan Salcedo, Ronaldo Kegel, Royce Zah, and Mark Jonathan Lamb entered the Weelaunee Forest in southeast Atlanta with their guns drawn. They <a href=\"/2023/01/19/solidarity-with-the-movement-to-stop-cop-city-and-defend-weelaunee-forest\">shot and killed</a> Manuel Teran, known to fellow forest defenders as Tortuguita. Today, the same struggles continue against the same forms of oppression, animated by the spirit of Tortuguita. The past does not pass.</p>\n\n<p>This is a call to take action on the anniversary of that tragedy.</p>\n\n<p class=\"darkred\"><strong>This January 18, take action to remember Tortuguita and all who have fallen in defense of the Earth. Organize a march, rally, or vigil. Gather with friends, comrades, and family to mourn and heal and grow stronger together. Plan an information session on those living on the run, under siege, or under surveillance. Host a power-mapping session about a local police foundation, a detention center, or a surveillance network. Organize a hike through a public park or forest and commit to defend that place from destruction.</strong></p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/2.jpg\"> <img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/2.jpg\" /> </a>   <figcaption>\n    <p><a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/2.jpg\">Download this image</a> to share it far and wide.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>After the killing of Tortuguita, thousands of people surged into the movement for which Tortuguita gave their life—the movement to <a href=\"/2025/03/14/cop-city-is-everywhere-learning-from-the-movement-to-defend-the-forest\">stop Cop City</a> and abolish the police. Community members gathered to weep, to support one another, and to grieve—but also to fight back. People blocked roads, lit flares, smashed windows, and torched police vehicles. Over the following months, the movement struck blows against the contractors and funders of the Atlanta Police Foundation on a daily basis. On March 5, 2023, hundreds of people raided the Cop City construction site chanting “Viva, Viva Tortuguita.” They threw fireworks, stones, and Molotov cocktails at police and wrecked the site.</p>\n\n<p>A year later, thousands of people across the country gathered in assemblies, rallies, demonstrations, and vigils to remember Tortuguita and all of the other people who have fallen in defense of our planet. As climate chaos caused by the burning of fossil fuels continues to disrupt vital systems across the globe, greater numbers of people are forced to flee to safer, calmer, lands. In the privileged core of global capitalist society, we do not often experience the collapse of vital systems directly. Rather, we notice price hikes, layoffs, and shortages. We see wars and massacres caused by the instability produced by collapsing standards of living and the competition among strongmen to control scarce resources.</p>\n\n<p>Today, the United States and its allies are veritable cop nations. Flock Safety, a company once known only to activists watching the perimeter of the Weelaunee Forest, has blanketed the entire country in AI-powered license plate scanners. They partner with bigots and federal authorities to track down undocumented immigrants, those who need abortions, and dissidents.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/3.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Tort 1996–2023</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Those who take action against the emerging autocratic state confront the same draconian measures and criminal charges that Tortuguita and the Cop City protesters faced. Witness the <a href=\"https://dfwdefendants.wordpress.com\">Prairieland defendants</a> who have sat in jail since July 4, strip-searched daily, in solitary confinement, denied medications, smeared by the FBI as terrorists. They stand accused of rallying outside of a migrant detention center.</p>\n\n<p>We can stop the downward spiral into autocracy. To do so, we will need to draw from deep community ties, from memories and examples of fortitude, courage, and grace in the face of adversity and tyranny.</p>\n\n<p>To struggle is to remember.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/to-struggle-is-to-remember_front_black_and_white.pdf\"> <img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/1.jpg\" /> </a>   <figcaption>\n    <p><a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/to-struggle-is-to-remember_front_black_and_white.pdf\">Download a PDF</a> to print and share.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<!-- DO NOT DELETE, used for images at half size -->\n<style> #article .e-content table tr td {  width: 50% !important; } </style>\n<p><!-- DO NOT DELETE --></p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n\n\n  <figure class=\"\">\n    \n      <a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/january-8-day-of-the-forest-defender_front_black_and_white.pdf\">\n        <img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/5.jpg\" />\n      </a>\n    \n\n    <figcaption><p><a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/january-8-day-of-the-forest-defender_front_black_and_white.pdf\">Download a PDF</a> to print and share.</p>\n</figcaption>\n  </figure>\n\n\n\n</td>\n<td>\n\n\n  <figure class=\"\">\n    \n      <a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/january-8-day-of-the-forest-defender_front_black_and_white.pdf\"><img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/4.jpg\" /></a>\n    \n  </figure>\n\n\n\n</td>\n</tr>\n</table>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"appendix\"><a href=\"#appendix\"></a>Appendix: Some Announced Events</h1>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/6.jpg\"> <img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/6.jpg\" /> </a>   <figcaption>\n    <p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DSS3fW2Efzx/\">Atlanta, Georgia</a>.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/7.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Bloomington, Indiana.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2026/01/02/8.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Am 18.1. ist der „Day of the forest defender“, der Tag der Wald-Verteidiger<em>innen.

      "content_html": "<p>This is a call for you—yes, <em>you specifically</em>—to organize an anti-authoritarian bloc in your community for the “No Kings” demonstrations on October 18. If you are willing to do this, skip directly to the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/10/09/no-kings-no-masters-a-call-for-anti-authoritarian-blocs-at-the-october-18-no-kings-demonstrations#how-to-do-it\">how</a> section.</p>\n\n<p>Fascism has come to power in the United States. People around the world are horrified. But simply marching in the streets once every few months is not enough. We have to get out there and draw people into concrete organizing and activity. No one else is going to do this for us.</p>\n\n<p>Far-right billionaires have bought up practically all of the media outlets and communications platforms. Our best chance to reach people is in the streets, through grassroots initiatives. “No Kings” is not our only opportunity to reach out to people, but as Trump consolidates control, we can’t afford to let a single opportunity pass us by.</p>\n\n<p>Anarchists are known for our courage; we have gotten used to <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/01/28/its-safer-in-the-front-taking-the-offensive-against-tyranny\">acting boldly</a> in an array of contexts. What is needed now is the courage to take the first step to establish public positions around which a fighting movement can cohere. This both scarier and simpler than many of the things we have done in the past.</p>\n\n<p>To face down Donald Trump’s power grab and his <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/09/18/make-ready-safeguarding-our-movements-against-repression-how-to-respond-to-donald-trumps-threats\">terror campaign</a> targeting “antifa,” we need everyone, of all walks of life, to proclaim that opposition to fascism is both laudable and urgent. We must contribute to a ferment that brings together everyone from the fiercest participants in the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/06/17/snapshots-from-the-uprising-accounts-from-three-weeks-of-countrywide-revolt\">George Floyd revolt</a> to the retirees that <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/02/24/the-only-immigrant-trying-to-steal-my-job-is-elon-musk-a-bus-drivers-account-of-life-in-the-trump-era\">protested</a> at Tesla outlets last spring. This does not mean limiting ourselves to lowest-common-denominator proposals—that is no way to make a big-tent movement. Rather, we need everyone to show up with their own political analysis and objectives and organizing culture, but with an understanding that we all need each other.</p>\n\n<p>We have arrived at this crisis because capitalism has concentrated so much power in the hands of the extremely wealthy that the entire social order has become unstable. This is not just about a single authoritarian politician—to get out of this mess, we will have to enact social change on a larger scale than any of us have seen in our lifetimes. Yet that same instability gives more people a stake in that change than ever before. The stakes are high, but together, we can rise to the opportunity.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2025/10/09/2.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Marching with signs is not enough.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h1 id=\"how-to-do-it\"><a href=\"#how-to-do-it\"></a>How to Do It</h1>\n\n<p>If you participate in organization with a social media platform or you feel comfortable organizing over your own social media accounts, announce a meeting point and visual cue in advance. For example, “Meet at the corner of 14th and Broadway at 10 am, at the banner reading ‘No Kings, No Masters.’” If you don’t have a social media platform, invite everyone you trust over Signal.</p>\n\n<p>Even if there are only two of you, you can still paint a massive banner and carry it between the two of you, making your message clear to everyone. Who knows how many anarchists and potential anarchists attended the “No Kings” demonstration in June, but concluded that they were the only ones there because no one—including them—had made such a banner.</p>\n\n<p>If you anticipate that there will be three or more of you, make sure everyone has something to do. To equip anyone who might join you, you can print out <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/posters\">posters</a> on 11” by 17” paper and affix them to cardboard. Better still, break the poster image into quadrants and print each quadrant out at 400% size, then assemble them parts into a much bigger whole. You could also make a <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/effigies\">piñata</a> or some other form of effigy.</p>\n\n<p>If there are dozens of you involved in the organizing, make your bloc festive and lively with a drum corps or a sound system. Just for practice, you could bring shields or a <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/06/16/a-demonstrators-guide-to-reinforced-banners-now-stronger-and-lighter\">reinforced banner</a> emblazoned with your message—not with the intention of getting into any sort of confrontation, but simply to normalize such things for other demonstrators so they can learn to feel comfortable around them.</p>\n\n<p>Make fliers in advance promoting an event to take place after the “No Kings” rally. Make at least hundreds of them—you don’t want to run out. This may be your only chance to see most of these people.</p>\n\n<p>If there are only a few of you, your post-“No Kings” event could be an educational event teaching people about <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/02/11/eight-things-you-can-do-to-stop-ice\">how to resist ICE</a> or practice proper <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2004/11/01/what-is-security-culture\">security culture</a> or engage in <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2017/03/14/direct-action-guide\">direct action planning</a>. If there are more of you, you could invite them to a subsequent protest, or a mutual aid event, or a <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/10/how-to-organize-an-assembly-preparing-to-respond-to-an-era-of-disasters-and-despotism\">community assembly</a> about how to organize collective defense. The idea is to see them again in an environment that will enable you to build political affinity together—or at least determine the extent to which you share it—without taking any needless risks that could expose you to agents provocateurs.</p>\n\n<p>If your community already has an <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/05/27/the-sunbird-how-to-start-an-announcements-only-thread-on-signal-and-how-organizers-in-austin-used-one-to-coordinate-solidarity-with-palestine#start-your-own-announcements-only-service-on-signal\">announcements-only Signal loop</a> for rapid response organizing, you could distribute that via fliers, as well, so the people you encounter will have more than one chance to get involved.</p>\n\n<p>Prepare some chants in advance!</p>\n\n<p>It’s conceivable that you will encounter pushback from reactionaries or from irascible liberals, or even from official “No Kings” organizers. Stand your ground. You do not have as much to fear from them as you have to fear from what is in store for all of us if we do not mobilize. Some people will appreciate you being there—those are the ones you have to reach at all costs.</p>\n\n<p>However frightening it is to take this step, the consequences of not trying will be more frightening. <strong>Remember, if you can read these words, there are others putting themselves out there at least as much as you are. That means you are not alone, and the struggle is not hopeless.</strong></p>\n\n<p>We don’t expect the October 18 “No Kings” rallies to be as widely attended as the ones last June. In June, a wave of protest activity was already sweeping the country, starting in <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/06/04/minneapolis-to-feds-get-the-fuck-out-how-people-in-the-twin-cities-responded-to-a-federal-raid\">Minneapolis</a> and spreading to <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/06/08/los-angeles-stands-up-to-ice-a-firsthand-report-on-the-clashes-of-june-6\">Los Angeles</a> and <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/06/11/melt-ice-be-water-report-back-from-a-hot-summer-demonstration-in-austin-texas\">beyond</a>. Contrary to the liberals who fear that confrontation scares people away from movements, we have seen over the past decade that people are most likely to get involved in struggles when they see that there is something concrete immediately at stake.</p>\n\n<p>Nonetheless, people will come to the “No Kings” demonstrations, and you should be there to engage with them. At the very least, you will be building skills and networks and a habit of acting that will serve you well in the months to come.</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>We should concern ourselves with forging a future where no single person—whether king or president—can claim the right to rule over millions.

This year, April 15 finds a new cast of authoritarians in control of the United States government, recklessly overhauling it to <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/03/11/then-they-came-for-the-palestinians-how-to-respond-to-the-kidnapping-of-mahmoud-khalil\">spread terror</a> and fill their pockets. But this will not put an end to workplace theft. On the contrary, it only intensifies the factors that give rise to it.</p>\n\n<p>Consequently, this year, in hopes of promoting good behavior, we celebrate “Robin Hood employees”—those who steal from their workplaces in order to share with others.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"a-society-based-on-theft\"><a href=\"#a-society-based-on-theft\"></a>A Society Based on Theft</h1>\n\n<p>Every year, employers rip off their employees to the tune of <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_TPryFbSAA\">$50 billion</a> in wage theft—and then the government swoops in to collect taxes, which are disproportionately put towards purposes that tend to benefit employers more than employees.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2025/04/14/3.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Through the eyes of loss prevention, we are all just obstacles to profit.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>All this was true before Donald Trump returned to the White House determined to loot everything in sight. Now, as <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/02/24/the-only-immigrant-trying-to-steal-my-job-is-elon-musk-a-bus-drivers-account-of-life-in-the-trump-era\">Elon Musk</a> guts every government program that doesn’t benefit him personally while setting his sights on lucrative state contracts, it is laughable to pretend that capitalism is anything other than highway robbery. Forget <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/10/donald-trump-ignites-insider-trading-accusations-after-global-tariffs-u-turn\">insider trading</a>—at this point, the entire United States government and the economy it presides over are the equivalent of a Trump-owned casino in which the house always wins.</p>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Silicon Valley has been hard at work coming up with new ways to rip off ordinary human beings. Large Language Model Artificial Intelligence, for example, functions by <a href=\"https://www.commentary.org/articles/james-meigs/ai-openai-chatgpt-copyright-theft/\">plagiarizing</a> human creative activity—with the intent of making human authors superfluous. This is just the latest innovation in the longstanding field of <em>profiting on others’ labor.</em></p>\n\n<p>Mind you, it has always been true that—like the Large Language Models—every individual human being benefits immeasurably from the effort and innovations of the countless human beings who preceded them. As Peter Kropotkin wrote in <em><a href=\"http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_Archives/kropotkin/conquest/ch1.html\">The Conquest of Bread</a>,</em></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>There is not even a thought, or an invention, which is not common property, born of the past and the present. Thousands of inventors, known and unknown, who have died in poverty, have co-operated in the invention of each of these machines… every new invention is a synthesis, the resultant of innumerable inventions which have preceded it in the vast field of mechanics and industry.</p>\n\n  <p>Science and industry, knowledge and application, discovery and practical realization leading to new discoveries, cunning of brain and of hand, toil of mind and muscle—all work together. Each discovery, each advance, each increase in the sum of human riches, owes its being to the physical and mental travail of the past and the present.</p>\n\n  <p>By what right then can anyone whatever appropriate the least morsel of this immense whole and say—This is mine, not yours?</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>The solution is not to figure out a system via which every single person who has ever done something that someone else later benefitted from can be paid precisely in proportion to their labor. Most of those people are long dead, and any system for appraising and compensating them for the value of their contributions would be hopelessly arbitrary. The point is that the system of attribution and intellectual property itself has always existed in order to serve a small number of beneficiaries at everyone else’s expense. Rather than quixotically trying to make the system <em>fair,</em> it would be easier to abolish the various forms of gatekeeping that impose artificial scarcity in the first place.</p>\n\n<p>If that’s not something we can do on the scale of society as a whole yet, we can take immediate, concrete steps to redistribute wealth in our workplaces whenever our oppressors are not watching.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2025/04/14/1.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p><a href=\"http://stealfromwork.crimethinc.com/\">Steal Something from Work Day</a>: Discouraging retail security consultants from hiring employees since at least 2012.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"in-praise-of-robin-hood\"><a href=\"#in-praise-of-robin-hood\"></a>In Praise of Robin Hood</h1>\n\n<p>A few months into the COVID-19 pandemic, a Home Depot employee was <a href=\"https://www.louisianafirstnews.com/news/home-depot-employee-in-louisiana-arrested-for-theft/\">arrested</a> after allegedly admitting that she had been permitting customers to take commodities from the store without paying. Because she had not accepted money for the goods herself, there was no way to ascertain the value of the items that had reached people thanks to her.</p>\n\n<p>Let’s put this in context. It was a time of tremendous financial uncertainty; the first stimulus checks had gone out, but $1200 per taxpayer (or just $500 per child) is hardly enough to sustain anyone through months of unemployment. It was a time of tremendous danger; the first vaccines against COVID-19 were more than six months away, and by the time they were available, <a href=\"https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/coronavirus/us-deaths-reach-240k-as-covid-19-cases-surge-past-10m/2357752/\">hundreds of thousands</a> of people had died. From the safety of their homes, middle-class people were hypocritically celebrating “essential workers” at precisely the moment that those workers were being treated as <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/04/13/all-we-have-is-us-a-call-from-a-delivery-driver-in-manhattan-for-a-solidarity-of-condition-and-position\">expendable</a>. Rather than the working class, one could speak simply of the <em>endangered class.</em></p>\n\n<p>In these conditions, it’s no exaggeration to say that the Home Depot employee was risking her life as well as her freedom to ensure that people got access to the resources they needed regardless of whether they could afford to pay for them.</p>\n\n<p>The news report about this courageous employee <a href=\"https://www.louisianafirstnews.com/news/home-depot-employee-in-louisiana-arrested-for-theft/\">appeared</a> on May 29, 2020, a day after protesters <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/06/10/the-siege-of-the-third-precinct-in-minneapolis-an-account-and-analysis\">burned down the Third Precinct</a> in Minneapolis in retaliation for the gruesome and senseless murder of George Floyd. If the <a href=\"https://haters.noblogs.org/post/2022/01/07/the-interregnum-the-george-floyd-uprising-the-coronavirus-pandemic-and-the-emerging-social-revolution/\">mass resignations</a> of the pandemic era can be read as an expression of <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/05/10/anti-work-from-i-quit-to-we-revolt-strategizing-for-21st-century-labor-resistance\">anti-work</a> sentiment, we should also understand this lone employee’s risk-tolerant generosity as a part of the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/06/17/snapshots-from-the-uprising-accounts-from-three-weeks-of-countrywide-revolt\">George Floyd revolt</a>.</p>\n\n<p>The band Godspeed You! Black Emperor once described this as “<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c9TyeKnGGk\">slow rioting</a>”: repudiating the premises of capitalism, even in the heart of conquered territory. When an employee does this on the job by refusing to charge for essentials, we might call it <strong><em>retailiation.</em></strong></p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p>In an <a href=\"https://losspreventionmedia.com/the-robin-hood-dilemma-of-retail/\">article</a> about the upstanding Home Depot employee for <em>Loss Prevention Magazine,</em> the publication of choice for security guards, the author acknowledged that most human beings are more inclined to foster equality than to abide by rules that arbitrarily benefit some people over others:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>James Fowler, a political scientist at University of California at San Diego, tested if there were such a thing as a “<a href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-psychology-robinhood/study-reveals-robin-hood-impulse-in-human-nature-idUSN1123415520070411/\">Robin Hood Impulse</a>.” He tested 120 participants to determine if they were inclined to take from the rich to give to the poor, finding that humans’ “taste for equality” is a driving reason why we cooperate with one another. In his money experiment, he discovered that over 70% of participants at some point would take from the richest players and donate to the poorest players, in an attempt to equalize the income among all participants. Fowler’s team said that even players whose own money had been lost in previous rounds of play were willing to redistribute the money in an egalitarian manner.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>For most human beings, this is something to be proud of—evidence that our species has a deep-seated capacity for empathy and solidarity. For security guards and other mercenaries, however, it is a problem to be solved.</p>\n\n<p>The author asserts that so-called “Robin Hood” employees are often among the best workers at an establishment:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>In today’s world, we’re seeing everyday “Robin Hoods” in the actions of trusted retail employees. The same people who work overtime, through the snow and rain, and during a global pandemic to serve retail customers are becoming “social bandits” like Robin Hood. We are seeing signs that many of these essential and dedicated employees are taking sides in situations they feel are more moral than practical.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>The <em>Loss Prevention</em> article goes on to point out that Robin Hood employees can inflict losses on a corporation much more efficiently than ordinary shoplifters or employees who only steal for their own benefit. In other words, when it comes to redistributing wealth, the most effective approach is not to take things for yourself, but to share them with everyone.</p>\n\n<p>You, too, can be a Robin Hood at work.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2025/04/14/2.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>A diagram in <a href=\"https://losspreventionmedia.com/the-robin-hood-dilemma-of-retail/\">Loss Prevention Magazine</a> alleging that “in one hour, a Robin Hood employee can generate a massive amount of shrinkage vs. more traditional forms of theft/fraud.”</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"a-new-ethic\"><a href=\"#a-new-ethic\"></a>A New Ethic</h1>\n\n<p>In a society founded on violence and theft, in which violence and theft are becoming more and more pervasive, we need a new ethical framework to evaluate them.</p>\n\n<p>In the case of <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2012/03/27/the-illegitimacy-of-violence-the-violence-of-legitimacy\">violence</a>, when violence is everywhere and being “non-violent” is often little more than an alibi for doing nothing to interrupt the violence that is already taking place, it is of little use to appraise the value of a given action according to whether it is violent or not. We might do better to ask a more interesting and instructive question: does the action in question <em>reinforce</em> existing power disparities, or <em>counteract</em> them?</p>\n\n<p>Likewise, in a world in which laws are profoundly biased in favor of the owning class, the judiciary is increasingly subservient to autocrats, and top-down theft is par for the course, it is absurd to fixate on the question of whether a given action constitutes theft as if that were sufficient to reveal its ethical value. We might ask, instead—how does a given theft distribute power? <strong>Does it reinforce existing power disparities, or counteract them?</strong></p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"further-reading\"><a href=\"#further-reading\"></a>Further Reading</h1>\n\n<ul>\n  <li><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2023/04/15/steal-something-from-work-day-2023-take-matters-in-your-own-hands-in-praise-of-those-who-leak\">In Praise of Those Who Leak</a></li>\n  <li><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/04/15/steal-something-from-work-day-2024-its-time-to-even-the-score\">It’s Time to Even the Score</a></li>\n  <li><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2018/09/03/the-mythology-of-work-eight-myths-that-keep-your-eyes-on-the-clock-and-your-nose-to-the-grindstone\">The Mythology of Work</a></li>\n  <li><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/steal-something-from-work-day\">Steal Something from Work Day</a> main page</li>\n  <li><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2021/04/15/what-work-steals-from-us-steal-something-from-work-day-2021\">What Work Steals from Us</a></li>\n  <li>\n    <p><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/04/15/steal-something-from-work-day-2020-workplace-theft-in-the-age-of-essential-and-remote-labor\">Workplace Theft in the Age of “Essential” and “Remote” Labor</a></p>\n\n    <figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2025/04/14/4.jpg\" />\n    </figure>\n  </li>\n</ul>\n\n"

Gather to show that another world is possible.</strong></p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p>As May Day 2025 approaches, we face an increasingly grim situation. Donald Trump and his lackeys are restructuring the state, redirecting even more resources towards repression and filling their pockets along the way. They are already deporting students on the basis of their political views and they have <a href=\"https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-el-salvador-prisons-americans-deportation-b2728850.html\">made it clear</a> that they intend to escalate to deporting US citizens as well. All the while, the ecological damage, climate disasters, wars, and genocides that were already in progress are only intensifying.</p>\n\n<p>While some are laying low, hoping that the tide will turn, that is <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/01/28/its-safer-in-the-front-taking-the-offensive-against-tyranny\">a terrible mistake</a>. How far this nightmare can go will be determined by what people do now to build movements of resistance. The more time passes, the firmer Trump’s grip on the institutions will be, and the better positioned he will be to expand and intensify repression. Even if Trump’s ill-thought-out policies alone suffice to turn the majority of the population against him, that will not answer the question of how to push him out of power—he has already <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/01/06/january-6-first-as-farce-next-time-as-tragedy-what-if-we-knew-we-would-face-another-coup\">shown</a> that he will not leave office willingly. It also will not ensure that what comes after will be any better. Remember, we ended up in this situation because of the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/06/history-repeats-itself-first-as-farce-then-as-tragedy-why-the-democrats-are-responsible-for-donald-trumps-return-to-power\">catastrophic reign</a> of the Biden administration.</p>\n\n<p>There’s no way around it: we have to build powerful grassroots movements through which to defend each other and popularize a radical analysis of what we are up against.</p>\n\n<p>May Day offers a perfect occasion for this. For nearly a century and a half, anarchists and other revolutionaries have observed it as a day of celebration and resistance. Tapping into this <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2017/05/01/mayday2017\">longstanding tradition</a> offers many reference points for what we can do right now.</p>\n\n<p>Wherever you are, you can do <em>something</em> for May Day. Better yet, organize a week of events, including education, mutual aid, arts and entertainment, and a march or demonstration.</p>\n\n<p>We’ve prepared <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/posters/may-day-means-resistance\">a poster design</a> to support you in organizing and promoting events in your community.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/posters/may-day-means-resistance\"> <img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2025/04/04/08/4.gif\" /> </a>   <figcaption>\n    <p>Click on the image to download the poster.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Most of the suggestions that follow here are things you can do with two dozen people. Organizing doesn’t have to involve massive numbers to be worthwhile. Even in movements that do involve massive numbers, the best way to ensure that they will be resilient and effective is to make sure that people are in the habit of talking, making decisions, and taking action in small groups so as to maximize the agency of the participants.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p>In Washington, DC, <a href=\"https://maydaymovementusa.org/\">an ad-hoc group</a> is calling for an occupation of the National Mall:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>Our strategy is to establish a 24/7, legal, non-violent demonstration on the National Mall, calling on Congress to take the only logical step in this crisis: impeach and remove Donald Trump.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>You can follow their announcements <a href=\"https://bsky.app/profile/maydaymovementusa.bsky.social\">here</a>.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2025/04/04/08/2.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<p>Elsewhere around the country from <a href=\"https://www.seattlemayday.org/\">Seattle</a> and <a href=\"https://eugenemayday.org/\">Eugene</a> to <a href=\"https://www.maydaympls.org/\">Minneapolis</a>, <a href=\"https://kolektiva.social/@bloomingtonabc/114337885859429046\">Bloomington</a>, and <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DIt3klSsrs7/\">Providence</a>, longstanding groups are planning events.

Propose ideas for what you could do together!</p>\n\n<p>Even if you are completely isolated and cannot organize events with other humans, you can order stickers from <a href=\"https://www.etsy.com/shop/MunicipalAdhesives\">Municipal Adhesives</a>—and, sure, from <a href=\"https://store.crimethinc.com/collections/stickers\">us</a> as well—and bring the bus stops and electrical boxes of your neighborhood to life.

If you are not a gifted artist, Municipal Adhesives mails out <a href=\"https://www.etsy.com/listing/1790906610/stencil-municipal-adhesives-x\">stencils</a>, too. Download and print <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/posters\">posters</a>, make <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/wheatpasting\">wheatpaste</a> or obtain wallpaper paste, and go out putting postering.

You could call for a discussion connecting one of those themes to the various attacks that the Trump administration is currently carrying out, with an eye to strategizing a response.</p>\n\n<p>You could also announce a gathering in a public location at which people read aloud the <a href=\"https://www.chicagohistoryresources.org/hadc/books/b01/B01TOC.htm\">final statements</a> of the Haymarket martyrs—the ones whose <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/podcasts/the-ex-worker/episodes/1\">sacrifice</a> for the labor movement gave rise to May Day as we know it today. Likewise, you could read one of the <a href=\"https://www.blackagendareport.com/speech-ill-be-damned-if-i-go-back-work-under-those-conditions-lucy-e-parsons-may-1-1930\">speeches</a> of lifelong anarchist organizer Lucy Parsons, whose husband was among the murdered.</p>\n\n<p>As the Trump administration smashes and loots the infrastructure of state-sponsored education, it is important to be building up our own educational models in their place.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2025/04/04/08/3.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<h1 id=\"organizing\"><a href=\"#organizing\"></a>Organizing</h1>\n\n<p>You could call for an <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/10/how-to-organize-an-assembly-preparing-to-respond-to-an-era-of-disasters-and-despotism\">assembly</a> bringing together different people affected by or working on an issue such as ICE deportations or environmental damage, at which to coordinate resistance.</p>\n\n<p>Even if the administration has not targeted your local community yet, you should do this now, in order to be prepared. For example, you could come up with a plan and get all the resources in place to respond as soon as they take a given action.</p>\n\n<h1 id=\"arts-and-entertainment\"><a href=\"#arts-and-entertainment\"></a>Arts and Entertainment</h1>\n\n<p>The May Day parade is a time-honored tradition, especially in places like Minneapolis. If there is already something like that happening near you, great—all you have to do is organize a contingent for it. But if there is <em>not</em> a May Day parade in your area, that is also great—it means that you can organize one according to your own preferences.</p>\n\n<p>Don’t neglect to prepare banners, giant puppets, or other artistic elements. In 2017, anarchists in Portland <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2017/05/03/the-spiders-of-mutual-aid-solidarity-and-direct-action-a-report-and-how-to-guide-from-may-day-in-portland-oregon\">made giant spiders</a> for their May Day parade.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2017/05/03/header.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>The spiders of mutual aid, solidarity, and direct action: May Day in Portland, 2017.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2017/05/03/10.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>How to make spiders of your own!</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>For later in the evening—or over the weekend—you could book a benefit show featuring local bands. For extra credit, you could host a show in a subversive location, such as under an overpass or in an abandoned warehouse.</p>\n\n<p>End the night with a dance party!</p>\n\n<h1 id=\"mutual-aid\"><a href=\"#mutual-aid\"></a>Mutual Aid</h1>\n\n<p>For the occasion, you could host a <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2007/10/27/the-really-really-free-market-instituting-the-gift-economy\">Really Really Free Market</a>, a potluck, or a work day at a community garden or social center.</p>\n\n<h1 id=\"taking-the-offensive\"><a href=\"#taking-the-offensive\"></a>Taking the Offensive</h1>\n\n<p>All of this will be of little use if we can’t also go on the attack. Limiting ourselves to attempting to manage the details of our survival in a non-hierarchical way while the state inflicts brutal violence on more and more people means accepting defeat in advance. We should respond to their offensives, but it is crucial that we pick the time and place of our own.</p>\n\n<p>Thus far, the one solid example of this is the Tesla protests, which have opened up a new front of conflict, distracting the attention of Elon Musk and Donald Trump and laying bare their vulnerabilities. But there are many other ways to take the fight to our oppressors—recall the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2018/07/01/the-ice-age-is-over-reflections-from-the-ice-blockades\">ICE occupations</a> of 2018.</p>\n\n<p>Identify a target and call for a protest or some other form of action there. If there is no obvious target available, you could still organize a public demonstration for the purposes of getting people used to moving together and engaging in collective expression, however symbolic. A smaller group of people preserving the element of surprise could also take action, sending up a signal flare to let others know that they are not alone in their rage.</p>\n\n<p>Remember, at any demonstration that could be subject to repression, leave your phone at home and <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2008/10/11/fashion-tips-for-the-brave\">dress to preserve your anonymity</a>.</p>\n\n<p>You can find more resources about taking action <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/10/27/everybody-out-resources-for-a-season-of-post-election-unrest#resources\">here</a>.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"further-reading\"><a href=\"#further-reading\"></a>Further Reading</h1>\n\n<ul>\n  <li>“<a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2025/02/05/the-day-the-emigres-struck-back-remembering-may-day-2006\">A Day Without an Immigrant</a>“—The General Strike of May Day 2006</li>\n  <li><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2018/05/15/riders-on-the-storm-a-blow-by-blow-report-and-analysis-of-may-day-2018-in-paris\">May Day 2018 in Paris</a></li>\n  <li><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2019/05/07/may-day-2019-in-paris-we-are-not-giving-up-countering-the-new-repression-a-full-analysis-from-the-streets\">May Day 2019 in Paris</a></li>\n  <li><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/05/02/may-day-2020-snapshots-from-around-the-world-reports-and-reflections-from-a-wave-of-new-experiments-in-demonstration\">May Day 2020: Snapshots from around the World</a>—How People Demonstrated During the Pandemic</li>\n  <li><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2017/05/01/mayday2017\">The May Days: Stories of Courage and Resistance</a>—Snapshots from the History of May Day</li>\n  <li>\n    <p><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/posters/join-us-this-mayday\">A Poster for May Day 2006</a></p>\n\n    <figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/images/weare/weare2_b.jpg\" />\n    </figure>\n  </li>\n</ul>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"events\"><a href=\"#events\"></a>Events</h1>\n\n<p>Massive liberal organizations are promoting protests around the country <a href=\"https://maydaystrong.org/\">here</a>.

This is a crucial opportunity to engage in outreach, education, and action ahead of what it is sure to be a tumultuous time.</p>\n\n<p>Once Trump takes power, it will only become more challenging to make connections with our neighbors, create the networks that we will need to face down his assaults, and share the skills we will need to survive his reign. Right now, we have a precious window of time in which to prepare. Let’s make the most of it.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"video-container \">\n  <iframe src=\"https://kolektiva.media/videos/embed/f4fb61d2-03fc-4d55-b6dc-7535fc78785d\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-popups\"></iframe>\n</figure>\n\n<p>For an incomplete list of events, start <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/12/03/festivals-of-resistance-a-call-to-gather-the-weekend-before-trump-takes-office#events\">here</a>.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p>When Donald Trump enters office on January 20, he will order mass deportations, escalate the repression of protesters, dismantle the few judicial and legislative provisions that still protect ordinary people, and consolidate a propaganda ecosystem intended to stupefy us all into obedience. The Democratic Party is willingly handing power to an autocrat they say will bring democracy to an end; the Democrats show every intention of continuing to ratchet their own politics to the right. Authoritarian leftist groups are simply treating this as a recruitment opportunity.</p>\n\n<p>But from Texas to the West Bank, millions of people’s lives are about to get even harder. We owe it to each other to meet the second Trump era side by side in solidarity.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/12/03/1.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<p>The chaos that will accompany the return of the Trump administration represents an opportunity as well as a challenge. This is a chance to assert an autonomous pole of organizing, carrying forward the lessons of 2020 and the <a href=\"https://defendtheatlantaforest.org/\">movement</a> against <a href=\"https://stopcop.city/\">Cop City</a> while continuing the fight against patriarchal violence, white supremacy, and colonialism.</p>\n\n<p>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. No amount of internet activity could substitute for gathering face to face. The most important battles ahead will not be fought online, but in the streets of our communities.</p>\n\n<p>January 18 is observed as the <a href=\"https://itsgoingdown.org/day-forest-defender-jan-18/\">Day of the Forest Defender</a>. It will be the two-year anniversary of the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2023/01/19/solidarity-with-the-movement-to-stop-cop-city-and-defend-weelaunee-forest\">murder of Tortuguita</a> in Weelaunee Forest. It is an important date to gather, honor the memory of the fallen, and pledge ourselves to resistance and to one another.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/12/03/2.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"how-to-participate\"><a href=\"#how-to-participate\"></a>How to Participate</h1>\n\n<p>You could start by <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/10/how-to-organize-an-assembly-preparing-to-respond-to-an-era-of-disasters-and-despotism\">calling for an assembly</a> bringing together everyone who wants to participate in organizing. It could be a public gathering—if you think you can facilitate something on that scale—or an invitation-based conversation bringing together people who have already worked together or at least have cause to trust each other.</p>\n\n<p>For the event proper, you could host workshops and distribute literature teaching <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2004/11/01/what-is-security-culture\">security culture</a>, <a href=\"https://ssd.eff.org/\">digital security</a>, <a href=\"https://acrossfrontlines.org/protestsafety\">protest safety and first aid</a>, <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2017/03/14/direct-action-guide\">direct action</a>, <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/05/03/hands-off-a-poster-and-resources-supporting-reproductive-freedom\">reproductive autonomy</a>, forms of organization including <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2017/02/06/how-to-form-an-affinity-group-the-essential-building-block-of-anarchist-organization\">affinity groups</a>, and <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/10/27/everybody-out-resources-for-a-season-of-post-election-unrest#resources\">other skills</a> that may be relevant in the years to come.</p>\n\n<p>Local organizers could share stories and lessons from the history of resistance in your area during <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2021/01/20/the-trump-years-the-road-from-january-20-2017-to-january-20-2021-a-chronology-of-resistance\">the first Trump era</a>. You could facilitate discussions to identify what people need to do to prepare for the years ahead—both for their own safety and to ensure the safety of their communities—or to <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/10/how-to-organize-an-assembly-preparing-to-respond-to-an-era-of-disasters-and-despotism#questions\">strategize</a> about how to prepare to <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/20/the-case-for-resistance-what-were-up-against-and-what-it-could-look-like-to-fight\">confront the Trump agenda</a> in your region. You could do an art build for future demonstrations and an organizing fair to connect people to local projects. This will be a chance to expand rapid response networks for community defense and mutual aid.</p>\n\n<p>In some places, the gatherings could conclude with public actions—a first salvo in the resistance to Trump’s plan for mass deportations. Elsewhere, there will be open assemblies, spaces for people to encounter each other and learn new ways of working together and sharing ideas. Small towns can screen documentaries or invite speakers to share their expertise.</p>\n\n<p>It’s up to you and your community to decide what best fits your local context. The important thing is to create a space that can serve as a point of entry for everyone who needs to get connected ahead of the next round of struggles—a space where people can hone their skills and begin to think of themselves as a collective force.</p>\n\n<p>No matter who Trump’s administration targets—whether immigrants, Palestine solidarity organizers, sex workers, schoolteachers, trans people, environmentalists, or people seeking abortions—we must show that we will love and protect one another. If we all pull together, showing everyone who wants to resist that there are movements that they can join, we can begin to build the strength that we will need to overcome the challenges ahead.</p>\n\n<p>Events like this are already being planned in dozens of cities and towns. But time is tight. If we want to be ready, we have to get started now.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p><em>Please repost and circulate this call!

      "content_html": "<p>In the following analysis, we explore what we can expect from Donald Trump’s second term and how we can prepare to confront it. If you only have time to read one part, read the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/20/the-case-for-resistance-what-were-up-against-and-what-it-could-look-like-to-fight#how-can-we-resist\">proposals</a> for what we can do to resist.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p>It’s understandable that many people feel exhausted at the prospect of a second Trump era. It’s easy to want to tune out and dissociate. What can we do, anyway?</p>\n\n<p>But we don’t know how the first Trump era would have gone if not for the ways that millions of people <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2021/01/20/the-trump-years-the-road-from-january-20-2017-to-january-20-2021-a-chronology-of-resistance\">engaged in various forms of resistance</a>. Difficult as it was, it could have been <em>much worse.</em> We didn’t topple capitalism or abolish the police, but we kept fascists from taking over the streets, and we prevented Trump and his supporters from accomplishing a great deal of their agenda. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to conceal our collective power.</p>\n\n<p>As long as we relied on our own strength, we became more and more powerful. Our protests galvanized others into action, showing what was at stake and where the regime was vulnerable. Our actions shaped public narratives, counteracting Trump’s efforts to determine popular discourse. The resulting unrest gave the capitalist class the impression that Trump’s reign was bad for business, sapping their support. It was only after we had apparently <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/06/history-repeats-itself-first-as-farce-then-as-tragedy-why-the-democrats-are-responsible-for-donald-trumps-return-to-power\">driven Trump from the stage of history</a> that we let our guard down, permitting our social movements to dwindle and creating a situation in which the Democratic Party could <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/06/history-repeats-itself-first-as-farce-then-as-tragedy-why-the-democrats-are-responsible-for-donald-trumps-return-to-power\">cede power</a> once again.</p>\n\n<p>The lesson is clear. We will only get what we win by our own efforts. The Trump era was not a historical anomaly. It’s not behind us. We are still in it, and we can only get through it by fighting.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/11/20/10.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p>Now it is happening again: the Democratic Party is handing Donald Trump the keys to the kingdom, including the most advanced means of repression in the history of the solar system. The popular power expressed in the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/06/10/the-siege-of-the-third-precinct-in-minneapolis-an-account-and-analysis\">2020 uprising</a>—the only thing that has been powerful enough to stop this aspiring dictator—has dissipated, undermined by the same Democrats who claimed that they knew best how to defeat Trump.</p>\n\n<p>This is a pivotal moment, and everyone who isn’t cynically detached is sounding the alarm. Those of us who recognize the necessity of fighting had better find each other, identify the strengths and weaknesses of all the parties involved, recall the lessons of the past eight years, and strategize.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"the-balance-of-forces\"><a href=\"#the-balance-of-forces\"></a>The Balance of Forces</h1>\n\n<p>In some ways, we are in a worse position than we were in 2017. Trump’s election in 2016 came as a shock to everyone, provoking an immediate mass response; at the time, the occupation of <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2016/11/01/feature-report-back-from-the-battle-for-sacred-ground\">Standing Rock</a> and the uprisings against police violence in <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/08/09/timeline-the-ferguson-rebellion-of-2014-chronology-of-an-uprising\">Ferguson</a> and <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2015/08/13/feature-next-time-it-explodes-revolt-repression-and-backlash-since-the-ferguson-uprising\">Baltimore</a> were fresh in the minds of millions. This time, the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/06/17/snapshots-from-the-uprising-accounts-from-three-weeks-of-countrywide-revolt\">2020 uprising</a> feels like a distant memory, despite the fact that it was exponentially larger than those earlier movements. Last spring’s <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/05/03/why-the-state-cant-compromise-with-the-gaza-solidarity-movement-and-what-that-means-for-us\">student movement</a> in solidarity with Palestine was inspiring, but it did not spread far enough beyond the universities to survive repression and summer break.</p>\n\n<p>Nonetheless, tens of millions of us share the experience of participating in the largest mass uprising in the United States in at least half a century. Those memories have been buried beneath subsequent sedimentary layers of history, but they are not entirely inaccessible.</p>\n\n<p>For the first time, Trump has won the popular vote, making gains with some voters of color. A larger part of the population is prepared to vote for overt fascism than before, knowing full well what they are doing this time. Although grassroots fascist activity dropped off after the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/01/06/january-6-first-as-farce-next-time-as-tragedy-what-if-we-knew-we-would-face-another-coup\">abortive coup</a> of January 6, 2021, neo-Nazis <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/us/neo-nazi-march-ohio.html\">have resumed</a> making appearances on the streets. If Trump pardons those serving time as a result of January 6, far-right organizations like the Proud Boys will likely return to the streets in full force.</p>\n\n<p>After eight years of scandals and emergencies, everyone is desensitized and demoralized. Both institutional and rank-and-file Democrats appear to be prepared to roll over and let Trump do what he wants. Like in 2017, Republicans will control the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate; once again, they wield deep institutional power while pretending to be “rebels” against the state that they control. This time around, however, Trump is prepared to push his agenda much further. In 2017, as an upstart in the Republican Party, he was obliged to fill his administration with neocons and other traditional Republicans. Now the Republicans are united behind him, and he is preparing to gut the entire federal government and the upper ranks of the military and install a gang of loyalists.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/11/20/1.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>The <a href=\"https://www.m9.news/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/mass-deportation-immigrants-ohio.jpg\">fascism</a> they want.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Yet this could create new weaknesses for him. Promoting sycophants to positions of power on the basis of loyalty rather than expertise will not necessarily create an effective government. The more emboldened Trump and his henchmen are, the more likely they are to provoke resistance. In attempting to appoint a cabinet full of rapists, conspiracy theorists, and Fox News hosts, he will force even the most milquetoast liberals to at least temporarily cease to regard the United States government as legitimate. Purging thousands of people from the government and the military while waging open war upon some of the most desperate sectors of society could incite resistance on multiple fronts.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"how-popular-is-trump\"><a href=\"#how-popular-is-trump\"></a>How Popular Is Trump?</h1>\n\n<p>Donald Trump is not significantly more popular in 2024 than he was in 2020, nor does he represent a majority of the population. He added a <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/11/05/us/elections/results-president.html\">couple million</a> votes to the <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/results-president.html\">number</a> he received in 2020, but he still received considerably fewer votes in 2024 than Joe Biden received in 2020, despite the fact that the US population has increased by several million since then. And remember—Biden was not actually popular in 2020, as became obvious afterwards.</p>\n\n<p>So Trump has not really gained popularity. The Democratic Party has lost popularity, that’s all.</p>\n\n<p>This is not surprising. The Democrats have sought to be the party of compromise between irresolvable opposites. They tried to fashion a compromise between capitalism and the working class, between police and the communities that they brutalize, between genocide and peace.<sup id=\"fnref:1\"><a href=\"#fn:1\" class=\"footnote\" rel=\"footnote\" role=\"doc-noteref\">1</a></sup> Small wonder that they failed. Actually, it is surprising how well they did, considering that they ran on the platform of “democracy” without so much as offering voters a primary in which to choose a candidate. Most other ruling parties around the world <a href=\"https://bsky.app/profile/jburnmurdoch.bsky.social/post/3lae62iuhaf22\">fared even worse</a> in the elections of 2024.</p>\n\n<p>But that doesn’t mean people like the Democrats. It just means that people hate Donald Trump.</p>\n\n<p>If some Democrats are eager to respond to this election by chasing the Republicans even further to the right, this only shows how badly they are still misjudging the situation. Their attempt to court the center by cozying up to neoconservatives failed to build a viable majority. This is because <em>the status quo is unpopular.</em> The people who propelled Trump to victory were largely casting protest votes against the ruling order. As we foresaw last July, <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/07/11/why-stop-at-biden-the-center-cannot-hold\">the center cannot hold</a>.</p>\n\n<p>The 2024 election represents the end of the technocratic neoliberal consensus that dominated the world from the 1970s to the 2010s. Trump’s popularity is not a unique phenomenon. All around the world, far-right populist movements are growing and authoritarian leaders are gaining political legitimacy. For decades, liberals and conservatives have worked together to suppress <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2021/11/30/epilogue-on-the-movement-against-capitalist-globalization-22-years-after-n30-what-it-can-teach-us-today\">grassroots movements</a> seeking to address the problems created by neoliberal capitalism; this created a vacuum that the far-right has ultimately filled. In that regard, the Democrats paved the way for nationalism and fascism to succeed neoliberalism. Presumably, they assume that those will be less threatening to their privileges than the end of capitalism would be.</p>\n\n<p>Perhaps this explains how the Democratic Party could spend years decrying Trump as a fascist, then immediately arrange a <em>peaceful transfer of power.</em> Institutional Democrats are hiding their heads in the sand, hoping that if they remain faithful to the institutions of democracy, even unilaterally, those institutions might survive the next four years. But considering how dramatically the playing field has shifted over the past eight years, there is no reason to believe that those institutions will remain intact unless the ruling class needs them as bargaining chips.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/11/20/8.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>The Democrats have no intention to stand up for those that Donald Trump intends to attack. They are the knowing accomplices of fascism.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>None of this is good news. Those who are disappointed by the Democrats will not necessarily find their way to movements for liberation. They could drift further to the right, or gravitate towards authoritarian leftist pyramid schemes, or withdraw into apathy entirely. But there are opportunities here.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"billionaire-supervillains\"><a href=\"#billionaire-supervillains\"></a>Billionaire Supervillains</h1>\n\n<p>It is surprising that Trump could not add more to his voter base, considering that the world’s richest man supported him by spending <a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/elon-musks-44-billion-twitter-purchase-ranks-as-worst-deal-for-banks-since-the-financial-crisis-wsj-757c09b7\">$44 billion</a> to buy the world’s chief political discussion platform and considerably more than <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/05/us/politics/elon-musk-trump-rbg-election.html\">$250 million</a> more on private election <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/oct/31/canvassers-musk-get-out-the-vote-effort\">canvassing</a>—including efforts to <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/oct/30/elon-musk-court-america-pac\">bribe</a> working-class voters by picking a daily million-dollar lottery winner.</p>\n\n<p>Real supervillain stuff.</p>\n\n<p>Elon Musk and Donald Trump both pretend that they were drawn to politics out of a sense of civic duty; in fact, both are simply scaling up their business ventures by expanding to trade in state power.<sup id=\"fnref:2\"><a href=\"#fn:2\" class=\"footnote\" rel=\"footnote\" role=\"doc-noteref\">2</a></sup> The day after the election, \na rise in stock shares added $26.5 billion to Musk’s net worth, in the biggest <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/nov/07/trump-victory-adds-record-wealth-richest-top-10\">such spike</a> on record. While the Democrats are still trying to preserve neoliberal capitalism as it was, the Republicans represent a new fusion of populist nationalism and oligarchy that seeks to extract profit directly through the state while channeling the rage of the poor into scapegoating the even poorer.</p>\n\n<p>Trump and Musk are only able to masquerade as selfless benefactors because resources have become so unevenly distributed that a few billionaires can determine the outcome of an election. These are the same people who control the supply chain, the communications and news platforms, and the emerging fields of artificial intelligence, neurotechnology, and space travel. This is 21st-century fascism, in which autocracy and technocracy blend together, creating overlapping matrices of control that function at every scale from the intracellular to the interplanetary.<sup id=\"fnref:5\"><a href=\"#fn:5\" class=\"footnote\" rel=\"footnote\" role=\"doc-noteref\">3</a></sup></p>\n\n<p>Whatever promises they make to the white working class, their actual priority is to enrich themselves. You can’t carry out a gigantic wealth transfer into the coffers of billionaires while also solving the economic problems of ordinary Americans. Trump has always succeeded in taking advantage of popular grievances by making poor people identify with him as a symbol of success, giving them the vicarious thrill of cheering for the winning team even as he empties their pockets into his own. But that may not placate people indefinitely.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/11/20/9.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>The world’s richest man canvassed for Trump by picking a daily million-dollar lottery winner, essentially buying an advertisement in which a struggling working-class family had to gush about how grateful they were to their billionaire benefactors. Donald Trump and Elon Musk have no incentive to improve the lives of ordinary workers—the gulf between billionaires and workers is precisely what enables them to pull stunts like this.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Ostensibly, Donald Trump intends to do to the United States government what Elon Musk did to Twitter: seize it, fire everyone who is not loyal to him, and turn it into a vehicle for profiteering and spreading fascism. When Musk took over Twitter, a rash of articles appeared claiming that he would drive it into the ground and the platform would soon cease to function entirely. Unfortunately, that would have been preferable to what actually happened. Despite a few technical glitches, Twitter kept functioning. Musk <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/11/25/elon-musk-bans-crimethinc-from-twitter-on-request-from-far-right-troll\">banned</a>, drove away, or algorithmically suppressed enough of his critics to transform discourse on the platform, leaving just enough diversity intact to preserve popular investment. This is how authoritarians achieve hegemony: with a mix of repression and tolerance.</p>\n\n<p>Regardless of the <a href=\"https://bylinetimes.com/2024/11/01/american-carnage-the-musk-trump-plan-for-total-collapse/\">doomsaying</a> of some journalists, we should anticipate something similar from the second Trump administration. There will be a messy transitional period and a wave of repression, but the real threat is that our society will continue functioning under an even more authoritarian framework—and that most people will accommodate themselves to it.</p>\n\n<p>However, none of these stories has yet reached its conclusion. Ever since Musk acquired it, the platform formerly known as Twitter has been steadily losing credibility and hemorrhaging supporters—not unlike the United States government over the past decade. Historically, emperors surrounded by toadies who only tell them what they want to hear rarely manage to establish stability. We can anticipate chaos and disorganization, then—one crisis after another—and it is possible that the general population, always fickle, will turn against Trump as he fails to solve their problems, just as the Biden administration did.</p>\n\n<p>So now is the time to think boldly, to fight for something more inspiring than a return to Democratic rule. We are not surrounded by fascist bootlickers who desire to be dominated—or at least, they do not comprise a majority yet. We are surrounded by desperate people who are largely disappointed in electoral politics because it has so little to offer them. They will remain on the sidelines until a better way opens up.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/11/20/2.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>The desire to see others harmed in their name has come to substitute for the desire to improve their own lives.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"know-your-enemy\"><a href=\"#know-your-enemy\"></a>Know Your Enemy</h1>\n\n<p>We have at least one advantage. Donald Trump is a known quantity. If it is not always possible to foresee his moves, his reactions are usually predictable. It should be possible to exploit his weaknesses.</p>\n\n<p>Trump thrives on media attention. Seeking to control the news cycle, he manufactures one crisis after another, each intended to distract from the last. During his first term, this forced many people into a cycle of reaction, allowing Trump to set the tempo of engagement. When your enemy controls the tempo of the conflict, he can keep you continually on the defensive.</p>\n\n<p>To this end, Trump is always saying and doing horrible things. With his cabinet picks, for example, it appears that he is trying to provoke a scandal so that his most outrageous nominations function as lightning rods channeling anger and attention, enabling him to push through the rest of his agenda unnoticed.</p>\n\n<p>It is up to us to set our own priorities, to seize the initiative and force our adversaries to fight on the terrain we choose. Knowing some of Trump’s plans for his first days in office, we can begin choosing battles that we might be able to win. The earlier that people can achieve a few decisive victories, even on a local scale, the sooner people everywhere will rediscover that resistance is possible.</p>\n\n<p>Trump will overreach, especially if we force him to. Recall the heady days of summer 2020, when he was trying to show his backers in the ruling class that he could regain control of the streets. When he <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/07/22/from-portland-to-the-world-a-call-for-solidarity-with-the-struggle-against-the-federal-occupation\">sent federal agents</a> into Portland in July 2020, he was pouring gasoline on a fire, catalyzing a massive public response that the federal agencies loyal to him—chiefly Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security—could not suppress. Those who had initially watched from the sidelines eventually poured into the streets, taking up <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/08/03/tools-and-tactics-in-the-portland-protests-from-leaf-blowers-and-umbrellas-to-lasers-bubbles-and-balloons\">umbrellas, leaf blowers, fireworks, and shields</a>. They continued coming out for over a hundred consecutive days.</p>\n\n<p>Arguably, Trump was not defeated at the polls in November of that year, but in the streets in July 2020, when the people of Portland demonstrated that his lackeys were no match for them. This cost Trump the support of capitalists seeking to reestablish law and order—at least in <em>that</em> election.<sup id=\"fnref:3\"><a href=\"#fn:3\" class=\"footnote\" rel=\"footnote\" role=\"doc-noteref\">4</a></sup></p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/11/20/12.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Portland, summer 2020.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"exerting-leverage\"><a href=\"#exerting-leverage\"></a>Exerting Leverage</h1>\n\n<p>A crucial element of the victory that took place in summer 2020 was the polarization of local and state governments against Trump. The complicity of Democratic officials in “blue” states and cities is well-established, but they still have to pretend to represent their constituencies, which often means chasing after powerful social movements in hopes of coopting them. If we play our cards right, we should be able to force Democrat-controlled local and state governments and agencies to refuse to cooperate with at least some of Trump’s programs. In 2020, popular sentiment forced many local prosecutors to drop the charges against those arrested during the uprising. Many municipalities have been declared sanctuary cities. As empty as those words often are, we can aim to force politicians to give them meaning. Any division that emerges within the ruling class, however small, will be to our advantage.</p>\n\n<p>The first battle will be fought for the hearts—and schedules—of anarchists and other rebels who were active in 2020. Do we have it in us to mobilize again, more, differently? The second battle will be fought for a broader swath of the population, including rank-and-file Democrats. Are they prepared to accept the second Trump era as business as usual, or will they gravitate towards resistance?</p>\n\n<p>If Democrat politicians are not compelled to break with the Republican agenda, we could end up in a countrywide situation analogous to what happened to the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2023/12/12/dont-stop-continuing-the-fight-against-cop-city-six-more-months-in-the-movement-to-defend-the-forest\">Stop Cop City</a> movement in Atlanta, where the majority of the general population came to oppose the proposed police training facility but politicians of every stripe closed ranks in a bipartisan consensus in favor of imposing it by brute force. But if a critical mass of rank-and-file Democrats conclude that they have a responsibility to become unruly, that will force at least some Democratic politicians to hold themselves apart from the “law and order” consensus.</p>\n\n<p>We should also anticipate defections from the bureaucratic and managerial classes. Trump plans to fire thousands of federal employees and surely many more will resign. The effects will trickle down to every level of society. We need to create opportunities for newly disaffected people to connect with each other and put their skills at the service of the movement. If some of them bring insider knowledge of the bureaucracy, all the better. When it comes to leaks from those who retain their positions, there should be an emphasis on equipping movements to act rather than simply seeking to discredit the administration in an imagined court of public opinion.</p>\n\n<p>To take on an entire government, we have to create friction between the different factions that comprise it and exploit the vulnerabilities that this opens up.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"refine-our-strategies\"><a href=\"#refine-our-strategies\"></a>Refine Our Strategies</h1>\n\n<p>Some of the tools and strategies that we relied on during the first Trump administration may no longer serve us.</p>\n\n<p>Doxxing, deplatforming, and social media bans could disrupt right-wing formations until the right seized control of social media platforms like Twitter. They are unlikely to be effective under an openly fascist regime in which far-right street fighters are granted clemency and rewarded for their misdeeds via crowdfunding and media hype.</p>\n\n<p>Even before Elon Musk purchased Twitter, social media platforms had become sparring rings in which contenders jockeyed for legitimacy in a zero-sum competition, and this had filtered out to influence the atmosphere of some other organizing venues. Such dynamics do not serve us well. This time around, we will have to set aside a variety of destructive patterns if we are to create ecosystems of resistance that can thrive under such challenging conditions.</p>\n\n<p>Mutual aid projects will be important. People will need <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/12/15/producing-transdermal-estrogen-a-do-it-yourself-guide\">hormones</a>, birth control, <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/11/14/abortion-without-borders-how-feminists-and-anarchists-defy-polish-anti-abortion-laws-1\">abortion pills</a>, money for traveling for medical care or escaping a hostile environment, assistance <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2017/02/13/the-syrian-underground-railroad-migrant-solidarity-organizing-in-the-modern-landscape\">averting</a> various forms of state violence. But these are fundamentally defensive strategies that must be connected with offensive forms of struggle to succeed.<sup id=\"fnref:4\"><a href=\"#fn:4\" class=\"footnote\" rel=\"footnote\" role=\"doc-noteref\">5</a></sup> We cannot separate care and struggle, nor should we let the desire for individual safety interfere with the forms of collective action that represent our only hope of following through on the slogan “We keep us safe.”</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/11/20/5.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Fundamentally, this is a struggle between empathy and selfishness, between solidarity and hatred.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"fight-smart\"><a href=\"#fight-smart\"></a>Fight Smart</h1>\n\n<p>We must refuse to let any aspect of Trump’s agenda become normalized. At the same time, we should not let his actions provoke us into a condition of perpetual outrage that produces diminishing returns. We must pay close attention to what is happening without letting him dictate the pace of our actions or drain our emotional energy. This requires thinking strategically, looking for opportunities to act effectively rather than simply to pass judgment. Every day will be its own emergency, and each one will be truly urgent—and yet we will not be able to change our priorities every day. We will have to build sustainable forms of resistance through continuous action, seeking strategies that build capacity over time rather than burning out.</p>\n\n<p>If we can develop such strategies, they will also prepare us to confront what Adam Greenfield <a href=\"https://illwill.com/beyond-hope\">calls</a> the <em>long emergency</em> of intertwined climate change, political instability, and societal collapse. As <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/13/after-the-hurricane-anarchist-disaster-response-in-appalachia\">hurricanes</a> and <a href=\"https://todon.eu/@CrimethInc/113468111381750732\">floods</a> batter our communities alongside new assaults from the state, we must accept that nothing is ever going back to normal and proceed accordingly.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"how-can-we-resist\"><a href=\"#how-can-we-resist\"></a>How Can We Resist?</h1>\n\n<p>We will not be able to simply pick up where we left off in 2020. Once again, there will be a learning curve—we will have to connect with new people, demonstrate tactics, make proposals, and debunk liberal assumptions about what is acceptable or effective. If we can hold our ground long enough, some sectors of the population that are currently beguiled or demoralized will probably become restless again, especially if the economy does not improve. But we also can’t let Trump steal a march on us. The first few months will determine how far this goes, how fast.</p>\n\n<p>Many of Trump’s ostensible opponents have maintained that two of the negative consequences of the next Trump administration will be that more people will “radicalize” (to the left as well as the right) and that there will be “chaos” (which is to say, disruptive protests). The implication is that Trump <em>wants</em> and <em>benefits from</em> both of these phenomena. It is incumbent on us to articulate which <em>kinds</em> of polarization and chaos actually benefit Trump and which do not. Donald Trump did not win the 2024 elections because people took to the streets—he lost the 2020 elections <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/06/history-repeats-itself-first-as-farce-then-as-tragedy-why-the-democrats-are-responsible-for-donald-trumps-return-to-power#emptying-the-streets\">as a consequence</a> of disruptive protests, and he won the 2024 election in part because those died off. Everyone must understand this.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/11/20/6.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Demonstrators in Portland, Oregon at the conclusion of Donald Trump’s first term.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p class=\"darkred\"><strong>Here are some concrete steps that we can take as individuals and movements.</strong></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"quit-xtwitter-diminish-reliance-on-instagram-join-mastodon-and-bluesky\"><a href=\"#quit-xtwitter-diminish-reliance-on-instagram-join-mastodon-and-bluesky\"></a>Quit X/Twitter; Diminish Reliance on Instagram; Join Mastodon and Bluesky</h2>\n\n<p>In some ways, Trump’s victory can be <a href=\"https://www.theregister.com/2024/11/20/x_marks_the_spot_for/\">traced</a> <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/10/28/the-billionaire-and-the-anarchists-tracing-twitter-from-its-roots-as-a-protest-tool-to-elon-musks-acquisition\">directly</a> to Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter. With Musk playing a role in the incoming Trump administration, the platform may provide warrant-free intelligence directly to federal agencies, while the algorithms will continue to promote authoritarian narratives. Now that tech billionaires are accommodating themselves to Trump’s rule, the same goes for Facebook, which has already lost status as an organizing space, but also for Instagram, which countless anarchist and leftist projects still depend on. This is not just a concern for self-identifying radicals, but for everyone who relies on social media for information.</p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, since the election, millions of people have been fleeing Musk’s platform. Some are going to Instagram Threads, which is hardly better, but <a href=\"https://bcounter.nat.vg/\">millions</a> have been joining <a href=\"https://bsky.app/profile/crimethinc.com\">Bluesky</a>, creating a new public sphere that could play a role in circulating news and ideas. While the owners of Bluesky have succeeded in branding it as a welcoming space for many of the demographics that the Trump administration intends to target, it remains to be seen how durable that will be—and as long as capitalism prevails, every corporate-owned platform remains at the mercy of the market. For these reasons, <a href=\"https://todon.eu/@CrimethInc\">Mastodon</a> is still the best bet, but thus far, people are not joining it in massive enough numbers for it to suffice to inform the kind of mass movements we will need.</p>\n\n<p>The unequivocally good news is that the exodus from Musk’s platform shows that people are not yoked to social media platforms, no matter how well-established. From now on, tech billionaires who seek to control the “public square” will be aiming at a moving target.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/11/20/11.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<h2 id=\"establish-local-organizing-venues\"><a href=\"#establish-local-organizing-venues\"></a>Establish Local Organizing Venues</h2>\n\n<p>Get people in your community used to coming together in person.

Another option is to establish a public venue, such as a social center or regular meeting place, that can serve as a hub for ongoing coordination and a point of entry for people looking to get involved. A third possibility is to establish neighborhood associations connecting those who live and work close to each other.</p>\n\n<p>Most people learn best through action and experimentation.

These need not only serve those in the worst conditions of need; ideally, they should show everyone what they have to gain from participating in mutual aid, connecting people from many different walks of life.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>We should take seriously the economic concerns that pushed some people towards Trump. We know the economy will not work for poor people under Trump, either; it may well get worse. Mutual aid projects are one of the only ways that we can demonstrate to some of those who voted for Trump that they are better off making common cause with us than trusting politicians’ lies.</p>\n\n<p>While it will be tempting to retreat into enclaves or break off conversations with those who do not already agree with us, we should seek to nourish social connections that are not yet politically mapped and polarized.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"establish-community-defense-projects\"><a href=\"#establish-community-defense-projects\"></a>Establish Community Defense Projects</h2>\n\n<ul>\n  <li>Organize community self-defense classes. In addition to spreading useful skills, these can connect people on a basis that can also equip them to act together. If space is available, you could set up a community gym to serve a similar purpose.</li>\n  <li>Form <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2017/02/06/how-to-form-an-affinity-group-the-essential-building-block-of-anarchist-organization\">affinity groups</a> with those you trust and begin discussing what kinds of action you would be prepared to engage in together in response to raids or fascist attacks.</li>\n  <li>Establish bail funds, defendant support structures, and resources for collective defense ahead of time, so you’ll be ready in advance. Although some lawmakers have attempted to pass laws against this kind of solidarity work, there are still <a href=\"https://atlsolidarity.org/statement-on-sb63-the-bail-fund-ban/\">ways</a> to get around those.</li>\n  <li>This is also a good time to revitalize <a href=\"https://prisonbookprogram.org/prisonbooknetwork/\">prisoner support</a> <a href=\"https://www.abcf.net/\">projects</a>.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>One of the challenges that the authorities will face is that the court and prison systems are already overextended. If they attempt to escalate to more widespread repression, they might overwhelm the judicial apparatus. We should be prepared to make the most of this, tying them up in court and drawing out proceedings wherever possible.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"prepare-to-resist-raids-and-deportations\"><a href=\"#prepare-to-resist-raids-and-deportations\"></a>Prepare to Resist Raids and Deportations</h2>\n\n<p>Prepare to respond to ICE raids in clever and effective ways that use repression to leverage outrage. Mass deportations will require massive logistics and infrastructure, providing a host of opportunities for intervention.</p>\n\n<p>This option is explored in detail <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/11/20/the-case-for-resistance-what-were-up-against-and-what-it-could-look-like-to-fight#appendix-strategizing-to-stop-mass-deportations\">below</a>.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"organize-pressure-campaigns\"><a href=\"#organize-pressure-campaigns\"></a>Organize Pressure Campaigns</h2>\n\n<ul>\n  <li>Pressure local and state authorities not to collaborate with the Trump administration in concrete ways. Identify specific politicians and functionaries, find a variety of ways to approach them, and make it clear what the consequences will be for complicity.</li>\n  <li>Identify local agencies and corporations that will play a logistical role in implementing the Trump agenda and <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/04/11/the-city-in-the-forest-reinventing-resistance-for-an-age-of-ecological-collapse-and-police-militarization#the-shac-model\">bring pressure to bear</a> against them.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Encourage liberals who have experience with phone canvassing to participate in call-in campaigns to pressure officials or support arrestees and prisoners.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"organize-against-the-police\"><a href=\"#organize-against-the-police\"></a>Organize against the Police</h2>\n\n<p>The police always comprise the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2014/11/25/feature-the-thin-blue-line-is-a-burning-fuse\">cutting edge</a> of state violence; once again, they will be at the forefront of imposing all of Trump’s policies. Through four years of centrist reaction, the Democratic Party and corporate news platforms promulgated a “law and order” narrative intended to re-legitimize the police; the second Trump era will make it clear once again that police are simply the stormtroopers of the ruling class. What’s more, as Trump calls for new crackdowns, the police may be overextended in new ways.</p>\n\n<p>The most powerful uprisings in this country over the past fifteen years have been revolts against the police, culminating in 2020. Resistance to police connects those who oppose state violence on ideological grounds to those who continuously experience it firsthand. This has made for explosive forms of solidarity before, and it can again.</p>\n\n<p>If we want to make our opposition to police as persuasive as possible, however, we should also be experimenting with grassroots programs to address the issues that they supposedly exist to solve. Capitalism has done real damage to the social fabric, contributing to <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2024/03/14/it-was-not-an-unexpected-death-an-account-from-the-opioid-epidemic\">fentanyl overdoses</a>, increasingly visible poverty and mental health crises, and other forms of mass violence. More policing will not fix those problems. By drawing resources out of every form of social support and channeling them towards state repression, politicians have gambled that they can stabilize an extremely unequal society via continuously escalating exertions of violent force. We should demonstrate that there is an alternative.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"debunk-liberal-narratives\"><a href=\"#debunk-liberal-narratives\"></a>Debunk Liberal Narratives</h2>\n\n<p>Liberals who chanted “<a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2018/11/09/take-your-pick-law-or-freedom-how-nobody-is-above-the-law-abets-the-rise-of-tyranny\">No one is above the law</a>” during the first Trump administration must recognize that, with the Supreme Court and much of the judiciary under his control, it no longer makes sense to count on the courts to restrain him. The same goes for the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2019/02/26/life-in-mueller-time-the-politics-of-waiting-and-the-spectacle-of-investigation\">federal investigations</a> in which Democrats invested so much hope. This should be a teachable moment for them: if they are sincere, they will have to get involved with grassroots forms of direct action.</p>\n\n<p>Liberals must stop thinking about the government as representing what is best within humanity. It has become eminently clear that capitalism and the state are elevating the <em>worst</em> elements of humanity to positions of authority. This is not an accident, but the structural consequence of the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/work\">systems</a> that distribute power. To navigate the ongoing Trump era, we will need to share a thoroughgoing analysis of these systems.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"sow-the-seeds-of-defiance\"><a href=\"#sow-the-seeds-of-defiance\"></a>Sow the Seeds of Defiance</h2>\n\n<p>Spread narratives impugning obedience itself. As Hannah Arendt said, in the face of fascism, “No one has the right to obey.” Make sure that these reach functionaries in the bureaucracy and members of the armed forces. Police departments and federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security are already comprised of hardened mercenaries who have no compunction about doing harm in return for a paycheck, but not everyone in the armed forces or bureaucracy will be enthusiastic about serving Trump’s whims.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"study-the-first-trump-era\"><a href=\"#study-the-first-trump-era\"></a>Study the First Trump Era</h2>\n\n<p>For those who have not been on the streets continuously since 2017, it will help to study the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2021/01/20/the-trump-years-the-road-from-january-20-2017-to-january-20-2021-a-chronology-of-resistance#the-trump-years-a-chronology-of-resistance\">various struggles</a> of the first Trump era in order to refine a sense of strategy and historic context.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"reach-out\"><a href=\"#reach-out\"></a>Reach Out</h2>\n\n<p>As resistance gets underway, it will be crucial to make it visible to everyone who has a stake in participating. This could mean making the walls speak <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2017/07/18/a-field-guide-to-wheatpasting-everything-you-need-to-know-to-blanket-the-world-in-posters\">with</a> <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/posters\">posters</a> and <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/stickers\">stickers</a>. It could mean distributing <a href=\"https://store.crimethinc.com/products/to-change-everything\">literature</a> at your school or in your community. It could mean creating art and music that strengthens the resolve to resist.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"reach-in\"><a href=\"#reach-in\"></a>Reach In</h2>\n\n<p>All of us would probably rather be doing something other than scrambling to prevent fascism from taking hold. We need to find ways to keep this work interesting to us and to everyone else who will have to do it—ways to keep our spirits up and to develop the kind of character that will sustain us through periods of hardship.</p>\n\n<p>Try to organize a concrete victory early on, however small. Brainstorm with your friends: what Trump policy will be least popular in our local community? Make a plan to contest the implementation of that policy. Get started <em>before</em> Trump is inaugurated.</p>\n\n<p>Think about how to offer roles to new people, welcoming them into the fight. To succeed, our strategies will have to be reproducible and contagious. Everything we do—regardless of how popular it is—will have to create conditions that will draw more people into action. It is a mistake to flatten differences into a popular front, but we will need as many people involved in the resistance as possible. When you encounter differences, don’t get stuck in ideological posturing; make a proposition about what you can do together based on what you have in common.</p>\n\n<p>Above all, do not let resignation take hold. Resignation is the foundation of fascism, more so than jackbooted thugs and prison camps. Our enemies are counting on us to assume that resistance is impossible, to keep our heads down while our neighbors disappear, our communities are plundered, our life support systems are dismantled. But resistance is always possible. The fact that you are reading this right now proves that.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/11/20/7.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Demonstrators mobilize in Berkeley, California at the beginning of Donald Trump’s first term.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"appendix-strategizing-to-stop-mass-deportations\"><a href=\"#appendix-strategizing-to-stop-mass-deportations\"></a>Appendix: Strategizing to Stop Mass Deportations</h1>\n\n<p>The incoming administration has been very clear about their intention to maintain public support by attacking scapegoats. This was one of the central promises of their campaign and it is popular among Trump’s core supporters. We can understand this as the desire of an increasingly powerless population to enact violence vicariously through a brutal autocrat—an ominous sign of human beings turning on each other as profit margins diminish and prospects for the future decline.</p>\n\n<p>If we let Donald Trump and Stephen Miller expand the infrastructure of state violence, using military funds to build “<a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11/18/us/trump-news-live#trump-military-mass-deportation\">vast holding facilities</a>” for the millions that they have promised to arrest and deport, they will not stop at deporting undocumented immigrants. Once that additional infrastructure exists, they will turn it against one target after another. Eventually, they will come for all of us.</p>\n\n<p>All who don’t want to see their neighbors, friends, and classmates or coworkers disappeared share a responsibility to act. During Trump’s first term, opposition to his border regime was a powerful cause of popular unrest, from the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2017/01/29/dont-see-what-happens-be-what-happens-continuous-updates-from-the-airport-blockades\">airport occupations</a> in response to his “Muslim Ban” to the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2018/07/01/the-ice-age-is-over-reflections-from-the-ice-blockades\">Occupy ICE</a> encampments and the outpouring of solidarity following his manufactured “<a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2018/11/02/turning-the-army-against-the-people-border-militarization-and-the-migrant-caravan\">border crisis</a>” in fall 2018. In 2019, when Donald Trump announced that ICE was about to carry out a new round of massive raids, Willem van Spronsen <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2019/07/14/on-willem-van-spronsens-action-against-the-northwest-detention-center-in-tacoma-including-the-full-text-of-his-final-statement\">gave his life</a> in an attempt to disable to the fleet of buses serving a private immigration detainment facility in Tacoma. Afterwards, asked why the raids were not happening, an ICE official expressed that they were concerned for the safety of their officers.</p>\n\n<p>Opposition to Trump’s border policies initially emerged in the streets and airports; only afterwards did legal challenges emerge in the courts. Now, of course, we cannot expect much from a court system that will be dominated by Trump appointees. It will be necessary take steps to prevent the deportation machinery from functioning: to block it via mass action when possible, but also to throw sand in the gears, to disrupt its logistics and organization.</p>\n\n<p>Let’s take a brief look at how Trump might implement these mass deportations and what forms resistance could assume.</p>\n\n<p>According to Jason Hauser, the chief of staff for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under Biden, <a href=\"https://www.thisamericanlife.org/846/transcript\">the infrastructure already exists</a> to expand the deportation machine to a massive scale. Guatemalan, Haitian, and Honduran communities may be targeted first, because deportation to those countries is more straightforward than to many other countries. These communities will likely be targeted with raids at workplaces, churches, hospitals, and schools, and the arrests of those who are already on the record for nonviolent offences or because of their limbo status in an asylum process. Expect raids, buses, and camps.</p>\n\n<p>Once apprehended, these people must be transported to holding facilities. Those could be rapidly erected tents, existing jails that are packed to two or three times their official capacity limits, warehouses converted into temporary detention facilities, <a href=\"https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/11/09/donald-trump-may-military-bases-house-migrants-deportation/\">military bases</a>, or new facilities constructed with military funding. One official claims that 25 temporary detention facilities could be created in existing warehouses in just one week.</p>\n\n<p>Once in custody, the arrestees will eventually be deported by plane flights. ICE currently has 14 dedicated deportation planes that can carry 135 people each, amounting to a total capacity of 1890 people per round trip. They also <a href=\"https://jsis.washington.edu/humanrights/2019/04/23/ice-air/\">contract out many flights</a> through Classic Air Charter, subcontracting with Swift Air and World Atlantic Airlines. If Trump succeeds in invoking the Insurrection Act or the <a href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/alien-enemies-act-explained\">Alien Enemies Act</a> to mobilize the military and bypass immigration hearings, this number could rise dramatically. The current ICE director estimates that between 150,000 and 200,000 people could be deported within the first one or two months, and up to a million in the first 100 days.</p>\n\n<p>This is frightening. And yet plans rarely survive contact with reality. Mass deportation would mean visible ICE actions with the cooperation of law enforcement in every sector of society. It would mean buses filled with prisoners everywhere. It would mean local law enforcement agencies being pulled away from other tasks and redirected towards immigration enforcement. It would mean plane after plane full of neighbors, family members, and friends, handcuffed and <a href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/seattle-boeing-field-ice-deportation-flights\">waiting on the tarmac</a>. All of these are opportunities for resistance to erupt. The deportations will not all occur in darkness; many of them will take place in public, in broad daylight. It is up to us to make sure that no one can ignore them, and to help others to understand what they can do.</p>\n\n<p>Armies succeed or fail based on their logistics. A complex logistical chain involving multiple agencies and forms of transportation, directed by leaders who are attempting to act on a much larger scale than before, will be prone to failure. How might these logistical links fail?</p>\n\n<p>As the saying goes, our enemies have names and addresses. During the first Trump presidency, people <a href=\"https://archive.is/vvDgw\">doxxed</a> every ICE agent they could find. Every raid will require the cooperation of local law enforcement; each one will involve staging areas and transport buses. Where do the buses come from? Who maintains them? Are those people also ideologically invested in fascism, or do some of them have misgivings? Where will the new detention facilities be staged? Who will build them? <a href=\"https://jsis.washington.edu/humanrights/2019/04/23/ice-air/\">What airports will these deportation flights leave from</a>? What supply lines will support them? How many low-wage airport workers have a stake in the fight against fascism?</p>\n\n<p>In one possible version of an anti-deportation struggle, there will be mass demonstrations, moral outrage, fruitless lawsuits, and symbolic civil disobedience. Most of the participants will be self-professed activists. Efforts to center the authority of existing formal organizations that are not in a position to call for certain kinds of action will impose limits on what tactics the movement can experiment with. Internal divisions and interpersonal competition for control of the movement will further hamper it.</p>\n\n<p>In another possible version of the struggle, every sector of society will become involved in resisting the deportation machine. Local liberal-leaning governments will be pressured into refusing to cooperate with federal agencies. Rapid response networks will bring people out in massive numbers to confront raids—and not all of them will limit themselves to following the leadership of official organizations. Bus drivers will go on strike; buses will mysteriously cease to function; coordinated highway blockades could shut down traffic to airports that are critical deportation hubs. Every form of struggle will emerge, and every participant will be encouraged to take whatever action they can, and the combination of anger and small, concrete victories will motivate more people to act.</p>\n\n<p>The deportations—and any struggle against them—will happen in physical reality, not on social media. If a dozen communities begin immediately organizing mass strategic resistance to deportation, researching logistical chains, outlining targets and strategic goals, and welcoming a diversity of participants and tactics, they could demonstrate effective resistance and light a signal fire for others around the country. If people get organized now and begin to map out and target the infrastructure for mass deportation before Trump takes office, they could seize the initiative, set the tempo, and force him to be the one to have to react.</p>\n\n<p>In 2017, when Trump signed the so-called “Muslim ban,” a single mass occupation at JFK Airport in New York sparked occupations involving tens of thousands of people around the country. Tactics spread rapidly when they are inspiring. What can you and your community do, right now, to prepare to inspire nationwide resistance to the deportation machine?</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/11/20/4.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>George Orwell wrote “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.” But the future is unwritten.

This time around, we can aspire to establish collective projects that function as a commons that benefits all participants, rather than attempting to solve the systemic problems that capitalism creates with individualized solutions. <a href=\"#fnref:4\" class=\"reversefootnote\" role=\"doc-backlink\">&#8617;</a></p>\n    </li>\n  </ol>\n</div>\n"

Let’s turn the roles that capitalism forces upon us into weapons against the system itself.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p>The United States Department of Commerce <a href=\"https://www.embroker.com/blog/employee-theft-statistics/\">estimates</a> that every year, “businesses lose $50 billion as a result of employee theft.” Let’s zoom in on that word, “lose.” They aren’t saying that $50 billion just disappears; it isn’t simply mislaid, nor willfully <a href=\"http://klf.de/home/burning-a-million-quid/\">destroyed</a>. They mean that $50 billion ends up in the pockets of the workers, rather than in the bank accounts of corporate executives. In other words, the problem is that <em>the money ends up in the hands of the people who are doing the work that produces it.</em></p>\n\n<p>Is this a problem, really? Even if you are an avowed proponent of capitalism, the market needs people spending money to function. Workers who are struggling just to pay their rent and put food on the table are going to put that money right back into the economy. Corporate executives would more likely sit on it, or use it to buy up more real estate, making it even harder for the rest of us to afford rent.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, if you’re <em>not</em> invested in capitalism as a good in and of itself, if you value equality and human life above the “health” of the market, there are even stronger arguments as to why the workers should be the ones to go home with this money, not executives and investors.</p>\n\n<p>Let’s be clear that when we talk about workplace theft, we’re not talking about a self-seeking criminal minority enriching itself at everyone’s expense. <a href=\"https://www.embroker.com/blog/employee-theft-statistics/\">Apparently</a>, three quarters of <em>all</em> employees have stolen from their employer at least once. Workplace theft is arguably the most widely practiced form of wealth redistribution. It might also be the most effective—though we can aspire to come up with even <em>more</em> effective models.</p>\n\n<p>What if workers in the United States took home $50 billion <em>less</em> every year? The richest 1% of United States citizens now own more wealth <a href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/12/06/top-1-american-earners-more-wealth-middle-class/71769832007/\">than the entire middle class</a>. The top 10% control more wealth than <a href=\"https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wealth-distribution-in-america\">everyone else added together</a>. The combined wealth of the billionaires in the United States has <a href=\"https://inequality.org/facts/wealth-inequality/\">almost doubled</a> over the past half decade, reaching $5.529 trillion—that’s all money that they have accumulated from other people’s labor.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/04/15/2.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>This chart from 2017 tells a different story about who is committing the most theft in the workplace. Even according to the laws that are currently on the books, which overwhelmingly favor employers over employees, it is <a href=\"https://www.epi.org/publication/epidemic-wage-theft-costing-workers-hundreds/\">employers</a> who commit the <a href=\"https://www.currentaffairs.org/2017/11/abuse-by-bosses-comes-in-many-forms\">majority</a> of theft in this society, both in the workplace and outside of it.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Now imagine taking another $50 billion away from workers in the United States every year. Imagine plunging families further into poverty, making it even harder to afford groceries, rent, utilities bills, car insurance, tuition. In fact, employers aim to do precisely that—that’s why they are investing in surveillance technology, security guards, and new inventory systems rather than paying the people whose labor enriches them. If there is a self-seeking villainous minority out there, it is not those who steal from their employers, but the capitalists who want to hoard even more of the wealth of our society in their hands.</p>\n\n<p>This is why a growing <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/05/10/anti-work-from-i-quit-to-we-revolt-strategizing-for-21st-century-labor-resistance\">anti-work movement</a> has begun to question the foundational premises of capitalism and exchange economics. Labor unrest is ramping up, but the majority of workers in North America lack labor organizations that are capable of asserting their interests with the firmness that they deserve. It’s time to reimagine what the tactics of a previous era, such as the general strike, <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/06/07/a-tale-of-two-general-strikes-updating-the-general-strike-for-the-21st-century\">could look like today</a> in our current conditions. At the same time, we can look at the activities that the vast majority of workers already engage in—including workplace theft and other informal or clandestine forms of resistance—as points of departure for new strategies.</p>\n\n<p>In the following narratives, two authors from different parts of the Midwest recount their experiments with stealing from their employers—one individual, one <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/steal-something-from-work-day#the-team-is-real\">collective</a>.</p>\n\n<p><em>(Yes, the header photograph at the top of this page is a real stock photograph about workplace theft. The horror!)</em></p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/04/15/4.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>From 1830 to today, we must weaponize the ordinary conditions of our daily lives if we are to defend ourselves against our oppressors.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"attack-the-gas-station\"><a href=\"#attack-the-gas-station\"></a>Attack the Gas Station</h1>\n\n<p>During the last few months of my senior year of high school, when I stopped attending class, a friend got me a job at a gas station convenience store after my car went on strike and refused to deliver any more pizzas. The morning after graduation day, I moved into a two-bedroom apartment with a couple of friends.</p>\n\n<p>A two-bedroom apartment with a couple of friends. In other words, I was staying on the couch in the living room.</p>\n\n<p>At the time, I cared about very little besides hanging out with my friends, riding bikes, reading fantasy novels, and drinking beer. I needed money to pay my rent, pay for food and beer, pay for gas and car insurance, and so on, but it was possible to squeeze by with a terrible minimum wage job.</p>\n\n<p>The gas station was owned by a typical franchise owner. He was mostly hands off, except when he was hands on. We all worked five ten-hour shifts by ourselves every week. Working alone meant that we had to take bathroom breaks as fast as possible, between customers. At that time, it was possible to pump gas without paying for it, so we had to hope that someone didn’t pull up and pump gas while we were in the bathroom. It wasn’t as if I cared if someone stole gas, but gas was one of the few items that was actually tracked by the inventory system, and we would catch hell if the gas numbers were off.</p>\n\n<p>The upside to this situation was that tons of other merchandise was not tracked in the inventory, and the CCTV surveillance system didn’t work. I’ve worked dozens of jobs in my life, and I don’t think a single job I’ve ever worked has succeeded in preventing me from stealing something from them while I was on the clock. But this job failed to prevent me from stealing <em>a whole lot</em> of shit while I was on the clock.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/04/15/5.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<p>For most of each of my ten-hour shifts, I had nothing to do. There is only so much time you can spend stocking and straightening the shelves, making pots of foul coffee, and staring out the window at gas pumps. I started eating and drinking the stock solely in order to pass the time. Pretty soon, every shift, I was drinking several bottles of juice and eating countless snack cakes, bags of chips, packs of cookies, candy bars, and terrible deli sandwiches.</p>\n\n<p>Then I started taking food and beer home to share with my roommates. It wasn’t like there was good food available at a Midwest gas station, but we were in a thieves-can’t-be-choosers kind of situation. While one of my roommates had a regular manual labor job, the other had no job at all; he was surviving off of small-scale weed dealing and the kindness and generosity of his roommates. At the end of pretty much every shift, I would load up my car with a grocery bag or two of food and a couple boxes of beer. I tried to take a variety of stuff in the course of each week in order to make it less obvious what was being stolen, but ultimately, I wasn’t as subtle as I thought I was.</p>\n\n<p>All of my underage friends and acquaintances started coming in, hoping to get beer without being carded. I saw another opportunity here. Beer was another item that wasn’t easily tracked by the primitive inventory system, so it was easy to avoid ringing the beer up in the register and just let people hand me cash for the beer at a steep discount. After I realized this, I put it together that pretty much any item that was likely to be paid for in exact change (like a 50 cent newspaper) didn’t need to be entered in the cash register. I would wait to ring them up until I could see whether the customer had exact change. Soon, I was taking home between $50 and $100 at the end of every shift, at a time when I paid $125 a month for rent.</p>\n\n<p>One day, the friend and co-worker who had gotten me the job told me that the manager had asked him if he knew whether I was stealing from them. Apparently, they didn’t realize that he was my close friend. He told them that he was positive that I would never do such a thing, and they left it alone. Looking back, I’m sure that the vague inventory numbers must have looked incredibly suspicious, but they had no way to confirm what was happening.</p>\n\n<p>Eventually, I wound up quitting that job to take another job that was less horrible in some ways but nowhere near as lucrative—aside from the free late-night access to the office photocopier. A couple weeks later, that gas station went out of business. I was sure that my efforts had something to do with it. If a full accounting were to be done, the owner of that place probably stole more hours of my life than I stole from him, but I did my best to even the score.</p>\n\n<p>In the years since then, my politics have become more sophisticated, and so have my ways of striking back at the employing class. You could say I’ve become more ambitious. But just as every prisoner is a political prisoner, every cashier in every gas station is a fighter in the class war. People steal from work because it is demeaning, because their workplaces don’t engage their creativity, because they want to share things with others, because it’s bullshit to have to waste time just to turn a profit for a boss.</p>\n\n<p>And lots of people steal from work because they need to. If more advanced inventory systems have made it more difficult for cashiers to steal from their employers, that only means that life is even harder for workers and those who depend on them. Better anti-theft technology is one of the factors that are contributing to escalating inequality, as capitalists concentrate more and more wealth in their hands relative to the rest of us. Stealing from our employers is the very least we ought to do in this situation. Attack every gas station.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/04/15/3.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"the-team\"><a href=\"#the-team\"></a>The Team</h1>\n\n<p>I live in a second-tier Midwestern rust belt city with a deep legacy of poverty and segregation. Historically, there has been a lot of lawlessness and social rebellion here. This city is busted, broke, and broken.</p>\n\n<p>Despite the challenges, we built a network of anarchists here, an informal community cultivating an ethos of rebellion. A gang of aspirational dreamers, scrappy squatters, and profound thinkers who took the question of how to create and push social struggles seriously. One advantage of this city is that it is possible to live very cheaply here, compared to other parts of the country. This afforded us the chance to experiment with different forms of daily life.</p>\n\n<p>At the time this story took place, most of us were service industry workers: cooks, servers, bakers, bartenders, cab drivers, baristas, home care workers, grocery store clerks, things like that. We often found ourselves on the lower rungs of the job ladder. We would work the tedious and unpleasant jobs that offered us some degree of flexibility and the freedom to live our weird lives.</p>\n\n<p>We set out to make the road by walking. We believed that we could build with those around us, drawing on our shared interests and common anguish to create the conditions for rebellion on a broader scale. Many of us shoplifted and stole from our workplaces. Someone in our community had the idea to try to make these secret individual acts into a point of connection.</p>\n\n<p>I don’t remember exactly how it first started. A photocopied flier titled “The Team is Real” circulated, presenting a proposal. A small button accompanied each flier, like the buttons you get at punk shows. Someone in the punk scene had a button maker and was putting it to use.</p>\n\n<p>The flier set out the proposal:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>Step one: Wear the button when you’re at work. Hook people up (discounts, freebies, extras, etc.).</p>\n\n  <p>Step two: Wear the button when you go out. Get hooked up. Remember to ask your teammates where they work.</p>\n\n  <p>Step three: Build the team. Talk to your friends and trusted co-workers. The more people on the team, the better.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>You can read the whole manifesto <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/steal-something-from-work-day#the-team-is-real\">here</a>.</p>\n\n<p>The proposal was basically to make a union of thieves that could expand beyond the limits of camaraderie, political alliance, and friendship, as a way to widen our connections with others based on our mutual material conditions and needs. It was a very simple system. If you don’t have access to the kind of button maker we used, you could use other types of pins, patches, shirts, hats—any type of common identifier. Of course, you have to be careful that word does not get out to anyone who can’t be trusted.</p>\n\n<p>The idea spread through our subcultural community and across the lines that separated us from other scenes. It reached our peers and co-workers.</p>\n\n<p>At the high point of our experiment, I could go out and visit a variety of establishments without ever spending money. I could get sandwiches, coffee, ice cream and gelato, and sometimes groceries from one of the fancy local grocery stores. Sometimes the people hooking me up were people I didn’t even know.</p>\n\n<p>That was good. But the flier described bigger ambitions:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>In our fantastical visions of the near future, we see ourselves reclining on patio furniture while savoring lattes, stocking our larders with the finest of produce from local markets. We are enveloped in sensations of pleasure foreign to our proletarian tongues as we drink freely of the bourgeoisie’s wine. When we travel, we are greeted by friends and strangers with gifts of bounty and luxury. And when guests are received by us in turn, we show them a night on the town like no other. A cornucopia of goods, freely taken and given, all at the expense of those who would exploit our lives, all in the spirit of the negation of capitalist relations.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2024/04/15/6.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<p>Our experiment could have gone further. It didn’t end up reaching far enough or lasting long enough to make a really deep impact on the tangible conditions of our daily lives. It did generate some conversations among coworkers, and that fostered a spirit of solidarity, or least insubordination. But materially, it was limited by what each of us was able to get away with in the workplace; we only had access to small quantities of what was available to us in our immediate environments. The real stockpiles of wealth are stored far from the outlets of the service economy.</p>\n\n<p>I think this model could be more effective in a geographically smaller place—for example, a college town where there is a central concentration of cafés and stores. It also could be interesting to try it out in a place that is experiencing active rebellion, or in a time of widespread unrest like during the George Floyd uprising. In a situation like that, it could be way to extend the energy in the streets into other forms of experimental resistance. When we’ve experienced rebellions like that here, we’ve often wondered how we could expand and extend them into ongoing social and class war. The “<a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/05/10/anti-work-from-i-quit-to-we-revolt-strategizing-for-21st-century-labor-resistance\">great resignation</a>” that followed the COVID-19 pandemic saw anti-work sentiment reach new heights; <a href=\"https://haters.noblogs.org/post/2022/01/07/the-interregnum-the-george-floyd-uprising-the-coronavirus-pandemic-and-the-emerging-social-revolution/\">some people</a> interpreted that as a continuation of the uprising. Maybe something like “the team” could have opened up a new front then.</p>\n\n<p>We are all fundamentally exploited in our daily experiences as workers under capitalism. We need new ways to experiment and spread class struggle outside of formal structures like unions, which aren’t available to some of us. Any gift shared freely heartens and encourages us, but if it is stolen back, it’s all the sweeter. <strong><em>Everything for everyone!</em></strong></p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“The routine of robbing banks is no replacement for the carnival of storming them en masse.

      "content_html": "<p>One month late, we are finally back from summer vacation with a report from <a href=\"https://anarchy2023.org/en\">Anarchy 2023</a>, a worldwide anarchist gathering in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. This festival celebrated the 151-year anniversary of the founding congress of the federation known as the Anti-Authoritarian International—the continuation of the International Workingmen’s [sic] Association, one of the most important European labor organizations of the 19th century. Drawing a reputed 5000 people—mostly from central Europe, but also from as far away as Chile and Australia—the gathering in Saint-Imier may have been the largest exclusively anarchist event of the year. Here, we offer a variety of accounts and appraisals.</p>\n\n<p>The gathering comprised five days of activities distributed between <a href=\"https://anarchy2023.org/en/map\">12 venues</a> scattered across the town, not counting improvised events in public spaces. There were over 412 <a href=\"https://anarchy2023.org/en/program/workshops\">workshop sessions</a>, 48 <a href=\"https://anarchy2023.org/en/program/concerts\">concerts</a>, 36 <a href=\"https://anarchy2023.org/en/program/cinema\">film screenings</a>, 11 <a href=\"https://anarchy2023.org/en/program/theater-performance\">theater performances</a>, and 7 <a href=\"https://anarchy2023.org/en/bookfair\">exhibitions</a>, as well as a <a href=\"https://anarchy2023.org/en/bookfair\">book fair</a> including almost 100 tables. Despite this dizzying array of programming, the majority of these activities were standing room only.</p>\n\n<p>Photographs were discouraged throughout the whole of Saint-Imier, though corporate media photographers surreptitiously took some. You can see a short photoessay by Greek anarchists <a href=\"http://trise.org/2023/07/25/report-from-the-international-anarchist-meeting-in-st-oimier-switzerland/\">here</a>.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/11.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>A sticker on the streets of Saint-Imier in July 2023.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h1 id=\"from-1872-to-2023\"><a href=\"#from-1872-to-2023\"></a>From 1872 to 2023</h1>\n\n<p>First, let’s set the record straight about the event that anarchists came to Saint-Imier to commemorate.</p>\n\n<p>Before the Paris Commune revolt broke out in spring 1871, tensions had been brewing for years within the International Workingmen’s [sic] Association, Europe’s chief revolutionary labor federation. At that time, there were at least four currents within the International; we can roughly summarize them by association with the figures Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Louis Auguste Blanqui, Karl Marx, and Mikhail Bakunin.<sup id=\"fnref:1\"><a href=\"#fn:1\" class=\"footnote\" rel=\"footnote\" role=\"doc-noteref\">1</a></sup> Proudhon’s adherents sought to change society by forming worker-owned labor cooperatives; Blanqui’s, by conspiring to seize dictatorial state power; Marx’s, by forming political parties to compete in elections. By contrast, Bakunin and his colleagues aimed to use revolutionary tactics to attack both capitalism and the state, aiming to mobilize the general population on a horizontal basis.</p>\n\n<p>At that time, there was no anarchist movement, formally speaking. Some individuals identified as anarchists (Proudhon had famously done so in 1840), but there was no distinct organizing body advocating permanent opposition to all forms of the state and capitalism.</p>\n\n<p>After the Paris Commune, when most of the participants in that uprising were in prison, in hiding, or buried in mass graves, Marx convened a closed meeting of the General Council, the central coordinating body of the International Workingmen’s Association. With the support of a recently added Blanquist member, and over the objections of representatives of rank-and-file sections of the International, the General Council <a href=\"https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1871/09/politics-resolution.htm\">declared</a> that “the working class cannot act, as a class, except by constituting itself into a political party,” unilaterally imposing Marx’s preferred political strategy on the entire federation by fiat.</p>\n\n<p>This was widely understood as an authoritarian power grab. Members of the International in Switzerland condemned this in a statement known as the <a href=\"https://www.panarchy.org/jura/sonvilier.eng.html\">Sonvillier Circular</a>: “If there is one incontrovertible fact, borne out a thousand times by experience, it is that authority has a corrupting effect on those in whose hands it is placed.”</p>\n\n<p>The next congress of the International took place in the Hague in September 1872. In order to ensure a majority, Marx and his colleagues used the authority of the General Council to manipulate the process via which delegates received their credentials; the Italian sections of the International boycotted the congress completely. Blanqui’s supporters joined Marx’s supporters in ratifying a controversial program of centralization and authoritarianism, expelling Bakunin in absentia and trying to do the same to his supporters. To everyone’s surprise, however, Marx then pushed through a decision to move the location of the General Council across the Atlantic to New York City—effectively attempting to kill the International rather than letting it escape his control.</p>\n\n<p>On September 15, 1872, eight days later, delegates representing Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, and the United States<sup id=\"fnref:2\"><a href=\"#fn:2\" class=\"footnote\" rel=\"footnote\" role=\"doc-noteref\">2</a></sup> gathered in Saint-Imier to reorganize the International. Although the majority were anarchists, they established an inclusive structure, inviting all revolutionary socialists to organize on a horizontal basis rather than answering to a centralized, dictatorial cadre. (“The Congress denies in principle the legislative right of all Congresses,” reads the <a href=\"https://www.panarchy.org/jura/saintimier.html\">statement</a> they drew up; “the destruction of all political power is the first duty of the proletariat.”) This is the event that the 2012 and 2023 gatherings in Saint-Imier commemorate.</p>\n\n<p>A year later, in September 1873, delegates from England, France, Spain, Italy, Holland, Belgium, and Switzerland gathered in Geneva to continue the International, picking up where the 1872 Saint-Imier congress had left off. J.G. Eccarius, formerly Marx’s right-hand man, was among them. César De Paepe and many other longtime participants in the International also continued to participate.</p>\n\n<p>Even anarchists are often unclear on this history. For example, in his <a href=\"https://www.jungewelt.de/artikel/456061.reportage-anything-goes.html\">coverage</a> of the 2023 gathering for the Marxist paper <em>Junge Welt,</em> Gabriel Kuhn belittles the St. Imier congress, describing Saint-Imier as a “retreat for the anarchists who had been expelled from the First International at the Hague Congress” and claiming that</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“the anti-authoritarian International was to be an anarchist alternative to the First International, which was classified as dictatorial. The success was modest.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>In truth, following Marx’s Pyrrhic power grab at the Hague Congress, the vast majority of the members of the International broke with Marx’s faction. The latter perished immediately. The Marxist historian G.M. Steklov <a href=\"https://www.marxists.org/archive/steklov/history-first-international/ch24.htm\">emphasized this</a>:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>at best, its continued existence was barely perceptible to an outsider, and was nothing more than a long-drawn-out death agony… Attempts to revive the corpse were fruitless.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, a large number of the organizations that had comprised the original International Workingmen’s Association adhered to the reconstituted International that emerged from the meeting in Saint-Imier. They continued to work together, holding annual congresses over the following half decade despite intense state repression.<sup id=\"fnref:3\"><a href=\"#fn:3\" class=\"footnote\" rel=\"footnote\" role=\"doc-noteref\">3</a></sup> Steklov, himself no friend to anarchists, documents all this in his <em>History of the First International.</em></p>\n\n<p>The narrative that the Saint-Imier International represented a minoritarian departure from the International Workingmen’s Association is historical revisionism, largely spread by Marxists who don’t read their own historians. What Steklov later called the “Anarchist International” was not, as Kuhn implies, an “alternative” to the International Workingmen’s Association—it was simply the continuation of it, liberated from a cadre of authoritarians who had unsuccessfully tried to hijack it. Anarchists were not a fractious sect within the labor movement of the 1870s and 1880s; they were a central current within it.</p>\n\n<p>For more background on these events, you could start with Robert Graham’s <em><a href=\"https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/robert-graham-we-do-not-fear-anarchy-we-invoke-it\">We Do Not Fear Anarchy, We Invoke It: The First International and the Origins of the Anarchist Movement</a></em> and Wolfgang Eckhardt’s <em><a href=\"https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/wolfgang-eckhardt-the-first-socialist-schism\">The First Socialist Schism: Bakunin vs. Marx in the International Working Men’s Association</a>.</em> Graham himself has published a <a href=\"https://robertgraham.wordpress.com/2022/09/04/the-legacy-of-the-st-imier-congress/\">short history</a> of the Saint-Imier congress and the continuation of the International thereafter.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/10.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>A painting on the side of a building in Saint-Imier celebrates the watchmaking heritage of the town and the local anarchist movement of the 19th century.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<h1 id=\"and-in-2023\"><a href=\"#and-in-2023\"></a>And in 2023?</h1>\n\n<p>A great deal has changed since 1872.</p>\n\n<p>Anarchism, established in 1872 as a formal movement, has spread across the world, been completely destroyed by repression, and reemerged and spread once more, again and again. <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/books/work\">Elsewhere</a>, we have explored how the economy has changed over the past century and how that should inform contemporary <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/06/07/a-tale-of-two-general-strikes-updating-the-general-strike-for-the-21st-century\">revolutionary strategy</a>. Here, it is enough to say that although those who gathered in Saint-Imier in 2023 were mostly workers of one kind or another, in today’s volatile context, sharing a profession or workplace is no longer a reliable starting point for building a long-term practice of collective resistance.</p>\n\n<p>Hence, in place of labor federations, we have looser networks based around communications infrastructure and held together by ideas.</p>\n\n<p>It is characteristic of our era that more and more people are turning against capitalism, the state, and other forms of oppression at the same time that those forces are rendering the old models of organizing and solidarity unsustainable. It is not surprising that there were more attendees at this gathering in Saint-Imier than at the last such event in 2012; likewise, it is not surprising that there were fewer membership organizations with long-term programs and formal organizing processes. We should not view this as a failure of the organizers, nor of the movement as a whole; there are structural factors at work here that are bigger than any one organizing group, milieu, or ideology.</p>\n\n<p>Likewise, we should not imagine that those who can easily travel across the world to participate in such a gathering are representative of the contemporary anarchist movement as a whole. The attendees were disproportionately younger and from comparatively privileged backgrounds; structural challenges <a href=\"https://anarchistnews.org/content/anarchist-gatherings-and-global-justice\">prevented</a> many anarchists from attending, especially from outside Europe.</p>\n\n<p>Nonetheless—if we want the anarchist movement to shape history rather than simply being a product of our times, it is up to us to establish new long-term anarchist infrastructure projects and networks that can rise to the challenges ahead of us and to make sure that these transcend the boundaries of privilege and geography. The fact that thousands of people made the effort to come together in Saint-Imier last July indicates how urgent this work is.</p>\n\n<p>It is encouraging that a small number of organizers without any financial backing succeeded in creating a robust event in which virtually everything was available for free. This shows that anarchist models can succeed on a larger scale. It only remains to expand them.</p>\n\n<p>To offer a multifaceted account of the gathering in Saint-Imier, we’ve assembled a collection of impressions here, composed by anarchists from Germany, Russia, Belarus, Finland, the United States, and elsewhere around the world.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/4.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Local newspaper coverage of the gathering in Saint-Imier.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 class=\"darkgreen\" id=\"anarchist-infrastructure\"><a href=\"#anarchist-infrastructure\"></a>Anarchist Infrastructure</h1>\n\n<p>We spend the first morning in the book fair area, where we are responsible for adjacent literature tables. When mealtime approaches, we delegate N— and B— to look into the food situation. They go off to figure out where lunch is being served.</p>\n\n<p>N— comes back a few minutes later, dispirited. “There’s no way. I’ve never seen so many people in a line.”</p>\n\n<p>“Did B— stay?” I ask. “Is he in the line?” I’m starting to get quite hungry, myself.</p>\n\n<p>“He’s a goner,” N— answers. “There’s a thousand people in that line. It stretches all the way past the building and up the hill. I don’t think we’ll ever see him again.”</p>\n\n<p>Five minutes later, B— appears, cheerfully balancing several full plates of food in his arms. “What happened?” I demand. “Did they have food set aside for people tabling?”</p>\n\n<p>“Oh, no, nothing like that. It was just surprisingly quick.” He looks almost dazed.</p>\n\n<p>I go out to get a look at the line myself. I have to walk quite a distance to get to the back of it. Several times, I think I’ve reached the end, and it turns out that I’m still somewhere in the middle. Finally, I get in the queue. I must be hundreds of feet from where food is being served. If this line moves as slowly as the lines at the toilets, I’ll still be standing in it at nightfall.</p>\n\n<p>But the line is moving quickly indeed. I’m accustomed to <em>standing</em> in line, but in this line, we’re <em>walking</em> forward the whole time. Maybe people ahead of us are giving up and leaving? But no, we keep advancing in a steady pace.</p>\n\n<p>After a couple minutes, I can make out two rows of tables ahead of us. The queue breaks in two and passes between them. On the other side of each table, there is a furious whirlwind of activity. I’m used to one volunteer languidly spooning potatoes onto a plate. What I see, instead, is a half dozen volunteers preparing plates of food in rapid fire, placing them in rows on the tables. The slowest part of the whole operation is the diners picking up the plates. You can take as many plates as you can carry and no one looks askance at you. It’s really an incredible operation.</p>\n\n<p>After I eat, I take my dirty plate and go in search of a dishwashing station. I’m expecting to <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/posters/wash-your-own-dishes\">wash my own dish</a> in a dirty tub of greywater that smells like bleach. Instead, there is a whole dishwashing operation going on involving what appears to be dozens of people. I can’t even fit inside the freestanding shelter they have set up—there’s too many of them. They insist that I deposit my dish in a pile and leave it to them.</p>\n\n<p>The following night, I discover that my comrade has missed dinner. According to the schedule, it has been several hours since the kitchen team stopped serving food. All the same, just in case, I go over to the serving area to see if I can find anything she can eat. I’m picturing a leftover chunk of bread, or something.</p>\n\n<p>There’s no one anywhere near the food serving area. At least, not on the receiving side of it. Things don’t look promising.</p>\n\n<p>But when I get up to the tables, I see that there’s someone behind one of them, still piling food onto the dishes and lining them up on the table. It looks like a different menu than what was served for dinner. There are 5000 anarchists in this town, but here, no one else is around, just the two of us.</p>\n\n<p>“Do you know if these are earmarked for some specific group or event, or something?” I ask, gesturing at the full plates of food he is putting out.</p>\n\n<p>“I have no idea,” he answers without stopping his work. He has an embattled but determined air, the way I imagine the Kronstadt rebels. “They keep giving them to me, so I keep putting them out.”</p>\n\n<p>“They who? Is there someone who can answer my question?”</p>\n\n<p>He gestures behind him. Approaching from some distance behind the table is a kitchen worker, coming to replenish his supply of lentils.</p>\n\n<p>“Is this food for some specific group or event, or something?” I ask, again.</p>\n\n<p>“This food?” the kitchen worker answers, serenely, gesturing at the rows of full plates of food accumulating on the table. “No, this is for everyone.”</p>\n\n<p>Anarchy works. Or at least—if the gathering in Saint-Imier was any indication, no one would go hungry in an anarchist society.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/5.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Local newspaper coverage of the gathering in Saint-Imier.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 class=\"darkred\" id=\"a-daring-experiment\"><a href=\"#a-daring-experiment\"></a>A Daring Experiment</h1>\n\n<p>Anarchy 2023 was a brave and risky experiment in self-organization. The gathering drew more than twice the number of inhabitants of the village. I was told that the initiative group of the gathering comprised around ten people, so most of the organization was left to the collectives and individuals invited, who were mostly completely strangers to each other. Nonetheless, the organizers all took a very idealist anarcho-communist approach to everything. No one was paid for their efforts; no one was charged anything more than a voluntary donation to participate and receive resources like food and accommodations; and no one was in charge. Anyone could announce a workshop and declare a space for it.</p>\n\n<p>The organizers tolerated a very wide range of views, including some polar opposites. I noted that some discussions aimed solely at openly criticizing other existing anarchist projects were dropped from program, but there were still lots of events in the program that were doing that just a bit more subtly.</p>\n\n<p>I do not know if the event was a financial disaster, but as for the daily functioning of the gathering, I would say it was a great success. Especially the organization of food was astonishing and completely scalable: I never had to wait in line for longer than 20 minutes, even though thousands of the people were flooding into the queue. Food was provided for those with specific dietary needs such as celiac disease; there was even a special section for people who still want to use masks and maintain social distancing.</p>\n\n<p>Due to the huge number of topics and presentations, it was hardly possible to get a general picture of the events, and I was mostly kept busy pursuing my own field of interest—meeting activists from Eastern Europe and planning common projects with them. Probably most of the other attendees were busy in the same way. This means that it was not really Anarchy 2023 but rather Anarchies of 2023, not one movement but countless different movements that just happened to intersect in time and space but with little actual connection.</p>\n\n<p>I never had a chance to meet any anarchists involved in the movement before the Second World War, so I was very happy to listen to Ben Morea, who has had a tremendous impact on the formation of the modern anarchist movement, for example by coining the English-language term affinity group.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/3.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>A clock tower in Saint-Imier celebrates the city’s history as a watchmaking hub.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 class=\"darkgreen\" id=\"anarchist-initiative\"><a href=\"#anarchist-initiative\"></a>Anarchist Initiative</h1>\n\n<p>The first workshop I go to, it takes twenty minutes to walk to the building where it is scheduled to take place. When I arrive, it takes ten more minutes to push through the tight crowd thronging the entrance and make my way up to the second floor. There, I discover that two events have been double-booked for the same room. Looking online doesn’t help—in the official schedule, both events are listed with the same room number.</p>\n\n<p>The attendees of both events are crowding into the room. It’s not big enough to accommodate all of them; many more people are trapped out in the hall, further congesting foot traffic.</p>\n\n<p>I am not the one making this presentation. But I want to see it, and decades of anarchist organizing have given me a robust sense of my own agency. “We’re going to need one of the presentations to move to a different room,” I declare, hoping this will help me figure out who the presenters are.</p>\n\n<p>“We can’t leave,” answers someone involved in the other workshop, the one I am not trying to attend. “We already put our visuals up on the walls.”</p>\n\n<p>An industrious Finn who, like me, has only a tenuous connection to the presentation we are both trying to attend goes out to see if there are any empty rooms left. “Nobody leave, we are going to find another location!” I announce.</p>\n\n<p>This gives one young person the mistaken impression that I am in a position of authority. “Can you tell me when it is going to start?” he says. “It’s already five minutes past the start time.”</p>\n\n<p>“Listen,” I answer, “I’m not in charge of this event. I’m just trying to make sure that it can happen. This whole kerfuffle is not my idea.”</p>\n\n<p>In the end, the Finn returns, having secured another room, and the event begins just a few minutes late.</p>\n\n<p>The next day, I am scheduled to present a workshop myself. Drawing on my experience, I make sure to get to the room a full forty minutes early. To my surprise, it is almost empty.</p>\n\n<p>I open up my computer and start trying to figure out how to connect it to the projector. I’m not what you might call technically inclined.</p>\n\n<p>As I am struggling to find a cord, a very serious Latin American gentleman approaches me.</p>\n\n<p>“I want to be clear,” he says. “I’m not in a position of responsibility here. I’m not in charge of the events in this room.”</p>\n\n<p>“That’s fine—do you know who is?”</p>\n\n<p>“No one is.”</p>\n\n<p>“Oh, well, that’s great,” I say, despairingly.</p>\n\n<p>“Now, do you have an HDMI port?” he continues, briskly. “If you want to appear on the livestream, we will have to set up the camera in this position, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, we’ll move it over here, so it only shows the screen, and it will be up to you to remember not to venture across this invisible line. Do you need access to a podium? How many of you are there, and when will your comrades arrive?”</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/2.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>This sign in one of the buildings hosting events during the anarchist gathering in Saint-Imier seems to imply that some of the discussions were announced as booby traps to force unsuspecting attendees to organize themselves.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 class=\"deeppink\" id=\"what-gives-me-hope\"><a href=\"#what-gives-me-hope\"></a>What Gives Me Hope</h1>\n\n<p>A pair of giant skeleton puppets bobbing through a packed dance floor. An indoor ice-skating rink transformed into massive literature distribution hangar. A pop-up pizza tent where you can obtain vegan pizza made by comrades—provided you are willing to wait. People sprawled in the empty pastures around the village, talking and napping in the sun. The longest line I’ve ever seen for the kitchen, but also a surprisingly efficient and fast-moving one. All the bikes locked up outside the main show space, because we might not even trust each other. A hall packed full of hundreds chanting “Siamo Tutti Antifascisti!” and everyone meaning it wholeheartedly. Stumbling upon an art show on a rooftop patio, complete with bubbles and potato crisps in the shape of teddy bears, where prints made by some of the children are displayed. Holding hands and gazing at the Milky Way, making wishes on shooting stars until the dawn creeps blue on the horizon, beckoning the coming day.</p>\n\n<p>I arrive late at night and the first thing I see is the countless little tents and caravans stretched out in vacant cow pastures. Walking through the night, I head to the main show space, embrace a dear love, and catch the last few songs of a Colombian punk band. I’ll return to this hall over the coming nights to talk with friends and revel to a hip-hop duo and witchtrap DJs, dancing myself back into my body, dancing myself home.</p>\n\n<p>During the days, I scan the schedule, looking for the sweet spot: workshops I’m interested in in languages I understand. A presentation on Gustav Landauer, a 19th-century anarchist poet mystic, catches my eye—but unfortunately it is scheduled at the same time that I have a prior commitment. I go about my day and check the schedule again later, only to find the Gustav Landauer talk has been moved to the early evening. I make my way up the side of the mountain, intending to drop in on a somatic experiencing workshop on the way. I stop in and do some breathing and grounding exercises led by a presenter who alternates between English and French. Then I make my way across the packed square, where people have gathered to listen to a rousing presentation.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"video-container \">\n  <iframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/855268905?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe>\n  <figcaption class=\"caption video-caption video-caption-vimeo\">\n    <p>Giant skeleton puppets at a hip hop performance during the gathering in Saint-Imier, July 2023.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Above the din, I swear I can faintly hear singing. It draws me. Making my way back across the crowded square away from the location of the Gustav Landauer talk, I trace the sweet sound around the corner, where a group of anarchists are assembled in a church courtyard. A dear friend had alerted me to the fact that there would be an anarchist choir here—and now I have stumbled on them.</p>\n\n<p>In delight and awe, I stand and listen. I chime in where I can, looking over the shoulder of someone with an anarchist songbook.</p>\n\n<p>At length, I tear myself away, intent on catching at least a tiny bit of the Landauer presentation. I walk back through town and scale flights of stairs to catch the last few minutes. The punchline is that it turns out the talk was really about Spinoza, or rather, Gustav Landauer’s relationship to Spinoza’s work.</p>\n\n<p>At one point, though, the presenter remarks that Landauer wrote that when someone becomes a comrade, you gain twice: first, by making a new friend, and second, by having one less enemy. This gem alone made it worth attending.</p>\n\n<p>My time in St. Imier was heady and full. It felt like time stretched out, then concertinaed back in. A day felt like many days, two days like a week. Like many other people in this world, I consider myself a lost child, divorced from a fulfilling cultural heritage and stripped of a relationship to the land. I strive to rebuild the latter in my daily life; the former, I build and lose and build again. I went to St. Imier, in part, to connect to the anarchist lineage that binds me to history, linking me to both the past and the future, which has helped me make sense of my life for the past twenty-five years.</p>\n\n<p>In a small Swiss village with a street named Rue Bakounine, I could feel the tug of belonging, the thread that keeps pulling me home. It’s not that these temporal spaces make me feel young so much as that they make me remember who I am. The thing that was most notable, in a tiny town filled with thousands of anarchists, was not who was there, but who was <em>absent.</em> Because despite the many, many anarchists who were there, I know there are so many more around the world who were not. And that—that gives me hope.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/6.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>An anarchist songbook, used during choral singing at the gathering in Saint-Imier.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 class=\"olive\" id=\"the-inspiration-we-need\"><a href=\"#the-inspiration-we-need\"></a>The Inspiration We Need</h1>\n\n<p>I came home from the gathering in Saint-Imier with a lot of new motivation and strength. Walking down the streets of Saint-Imier, passing self-organized workshops and discussions in different languages at almost every corner, showed me once again what becomes possible when people come together in self-organized spaces.</p>\n\n<p>Exchanging ideas and experiences, discussing strategies, meeting old comrades and friends and making new ones, a book fair filling a whole ice arena (I mean, how crazy is that?)… Being surrounded by thousands of anarchists from all around the globe sharing similar ideas and connecting the different struggles we fight… all this inspired me a lot. The kind of inspiration that we desperately need to continue our struggle.</p>\n\n<p>On the other hand, the gathering left me with a lot of open questions regarding how to deal with conflicts and contradictions within our movement. What is needed for us to be willing to listen to each other so that we can learn and grow together? At what point does solidarity become an empty phrase? How do we live up to our ideals across borders in times of war? How much formal or informal organization do we need? What do we consider victory to mean in the struggles we are engaged in?</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 class=\"darkgreen\" id=\"imagine-the-authoritarian-international\"><a href=\"#imagine-the-authoritarian-international\"></a>Imagine the Authoritarian International</h1>\n\n<p>Corporate reporters discussing the gathering in Saint-Imier trotted out the usual clichés about anarchism. “Much of what is offered here is contradictory,” declared <a href=\"https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/politics/-sabotage-everywhere---at-the-swiss-birthplace-of-global-anarchism/48716626\">one journalist</a>. Criticizing a sparsely attended talk at which an elderly German parroted some pro-Russian talking points about Ukraine, the same author crowed:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“This would be unthinkable in a curated, moderated programme. But that would also require more authority than most anarchists would like.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Many people who have not previously been exposed to anarchism take it for granted that “more authority” is the solution for every problem. The question, of course, is how to decide who gets to wield that authority. In Russia, in which one can arguably find <em>more authority</em> than Switzerland, the authorities are the very ones pushing the talking points to which this journalist took exception.</p>\n\n<p>For perspective, let’s imagine a comparable gathering for the opposing side. Picture the Authoritarian International, an event welcoming everyone who passionately believes in the importance of authority as a value unto itself. Would such a gathering be less contradictory, less disputatious?</p>\n\n<p>What location and anniversary would the partisans of authority choose? Every nationalist would propose the capital of his own country; every monarchist would argue for the date of the founding of his favorite royal line. Perhaps the city of Rome could satisfy almost everyone: republicans for the Roman Republic, imperialists for the Roman Empire, autocrats for the coup that turned the former into the latter, Catholics for the Vatican, Nazis for the March on Rome that brought fascism to power. But which date would they pick?</p>\n\n<p>Even if they could agree on a place and time, think how bitterly they would squabble, united only by faith in the importance of hierarchy, centralization, and domination. Proponents of religious theocracy, military dictatorship, corporate oligarchy, and constitutional republic would shout each other down, each striving to force the others to obey his preferred despot or legal code. Devotees of Ayn Rand would bicker with Stalinists; Trump-voting Klansmen would brawl with earnest Norwegian social democrats.</p>\n\n<p>How would technocrats and militia leaders resolve their differences over how to apportion authority? Voting? A rigorous job application process? Brute force?</p>\n\n<p>Capitalists would vie to fleece each other. Food, housing, and other necessities would be available only at market prices—or worse, if some magnate or state agency managed to establish a monopoly. (What is a monopoly, if not “more authority” in the realm of economics?)</p>\n\n<p>Rather than disagreeing over how to end the war in Ukraine, attendees would contend to cash in on it or to emulate Putin’s strategies for suppressing protest movements. Rather than debating COVID-19 safety protocol, some would discuss how to create artificial scarcity in access to medical treatment as a means of increasing profits while others studied how to use lockdowns as a pretext to crush dissent. For a considerable fee, attendees could choose between workshops with titles like “Stage Your Own Coup” and “The Iron Rule of Law.”</p>\n\n<p>Let’s stop here before we accidentally reinvent the League of Nations or the New York Stock Exchange. Looking through this lens, the various groups and discourses that converged in Saint-Imier look surprisingly coherent. Taking the simple idea that inequality and oppression are bad things as our point of departure will not resolve all the questions before us. But it will put us on the right track.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/9.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>The CrimethInc. table in the book fair area in Saint-Imier—one of nearly one hundred anarchist publishing projects that were represented there.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 class=\"slategray\" id=\"something-was-missing\"><a href=\"#something-was-missing\"></a>Something Was Missing</h1>\n\n<p>It is hard to evaluate the festival in Saint-Imier. Thousands of anarchists from different parts of the world (mostly from western/southern Europe) created so many parallel worlds that no one could say something about most of them. From theater performances and concerts to the book fair and hundreds of workshops/presentations/meetings, the diversity of the anarchist movement was there, but at the same time something was missing…</p>\n\n<p>For the event that celebrates one of the very important steps in the emergence of an organized anarchist movement, there was little space that could bring us further on the matter of international organizing. Talking about this with some comrades, I was told that those were the wrong expectations to bring to an event that presented itself as a festival and not as a congress or something like that.</p>\n\n<p>As a festival, the event in Saint-Imier stands—there was enough entertainment and serious programming to keep you busy. The infrastructure was there to consume and participate in volunteer structures. But beyond consumption, the revolutionary ideas of the 19th century seem to have disappeared from parts of anarchist movement in the same way that they have disappeared from the heads of Swiss watchmakers.</p>\n\n<p>With the decline of the anarchist movement in some parts of the world, the question remains: do we need more festivals with completely open programs, hoping that there is cooperation going on somewhere behind closed doors? (I’m quite sure there was some cooperation in St.Imier, at least on the level of individual groups.) Or is the internationalist anarchist movement missing something more important to keep the ideas alive and continue supporting each other across borders?</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/13.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Street art in Saint-Imier featuring a quote by Hélène Cixous.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 class=\"steelblue\" id=\"village-life\"><a href=\"#village-life\"></a>Village Life</h1>\n\n<p>The international anti-authoritarian gathering that took place in the little town of Saint-Imier built a sort of parallel village life.</p>\n\n<p>This 5000-anarchist village displayed an intense rural life with its rumors, its intense conflicts and mutual aid, its patterns in which we would meet the same people at every corner every day yet fail to find some people even once in the course of five days. Some people were irritated by the format; they could not understand whether it was a gathering or a festival or something in between.</p>\n\n<p>The veterans of earlier gatherings at Saint-Imier reported that such fierce debates have always taken place, but the topics change. In comparison to the last big meeting (in 2012), this year was much queerer and there were no debates about whether to eat meat—this time, everything was vegan with different kitchens for gluten-free food and an extra kitchen for people with allergies. Wonderful! Amazing supplying efforts. And no meat-eaters’ riots.</p>\n\n<p>It was an amazing space where you could bring together people from Chile and Belarus to compare notes about their experiences participating in uprisings and enduring repression. On one day, at the same time, you could choose between the “DIY abortion” workshop and “happy birth giving” workshop.</p>\n\n<p>Some of the points of controversy this year included:</p>\n\n<ul>\n  <li>There were some talks on the “corona dictatorship” and vaccination “obligation,” which irritated a lot of people due to the conspiracy theory direction. A few people brought up their anti-vaccine talking points even at workshops that had nothing to do with the subject.</li>\n  <li>Anti-racist critique (for example, a critique of a Sea Punks presentation to the effect that it reflected a “white savior” attitude).</li>\n  <li>There was a big brouhaha about an attack on one book table, where some books which the attackers considered Islamophobic were destroyed.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>For us, the biggest clash was on the topic of <a href=\"https://renverse.co/IMG/pdf/brochure-final-eng_cleaned.pdf\">the war in Ukraine</a>. It exploded on the second day at a round table discussion about Ukrainian resistance to the invasion. The organizers were not interested in discussing “whether” to support Ukrainian resistance; they wanted to talk about “how.” Certain self-proclaimed anti-militarists did not accept this; in the end, they screamed about censorship, saying things like “You don’t know what anarchy is!”</p>\n\n<p>Several so-called anti-militarist events took place during the week, as well, and those were not disrupted by those who support anti-authoritarian fighters on the front in Ukraine. But at the panel discussion about anti-authoritarian perspectives on support for the Ukrainian resistance, some calling themselves an anti-militarist group tried to sabotage the event. There was screaming and shoving, which retraumatized people from Ukraine who were on the podium to speak. They laughed aloud during a minute of silence for our comrades who died fighting against Putin. It was ugly and contrary to solidarity, or even human decency. But still, at the end of the day, there were many more people ready to listen the experiences of anarchists directly affected by the war and Putin’s imperialism. There were many voices of solidarity from all over the world, and that was empowering.</p>\n\n<p>The nicest thing we heard about was a workshop on anti-fascist yodeling, where even people who resist singing opened their minds and mouths and found a mutual relaxation moment in voice pitching.</p>\n\n<p>On the last night, we met on the street some local people who were talking about the gathering. One was telling the other that it was good that this event was taking place: finally, there was some activity in the village. This, despite all the graffiti, blocking of streets, and train cancellations.</p>\n\n<p>The Saint-Imier gathering… it was diverse, emotional, vibrant, and loud.</p>\n\n<p>P.S.: On Sunday evening, after the event was over and people were cleaning up and going home, a strong thunderstorm hit the town. The news reported that there was a meter and a half of water in the central square, but that no one was hurt. We hope that everyone stayed safe!</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/1.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>“Please don’t have political conflict.” A satirical sign in Saint-Imier.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 class=\"goldenrod\" id=\"some-complaints\"><a href=\"#some-complaints\"></a>Some Complaints</h1>\n\n<p>The DPA [Deutsche Presse-Agentur], the largest press agency in Germany, reported on the anarchist meeting with the remarkable conclusion that there was even a street named after Bakunin in St. Imier, but that it was a dead end.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, this is not my assessment of anarchist ideas. Yet I too have to shake my head at some developments in the anarchist subculture. My feelings range from amused amazement to sad resignation.</p>\n\n<p>For example, in the absence of any other communication infrastructure capable of reaching a comparable number of people, the organizing team tries to reach the participants by making megaphone announcements at the food lines. People should cross the tracks only at the official railroad crossings, we are told, or else the Orgateam will be charged enormous fines. And if the façades of the houses are painted, then the collective cashier will have to pay for the cleaning and, in addition, the lack of sympathy in the village will reduce the chance that such an event can take place here again.</p>\n\n<p>Where should I start? Should I note that the death of Sébastien during the Castor transport in France in 2004 taught me to step on train tracks only in very well-planned actions? That I have absolutely no idea of the Swiss legal situation and therefore do not know whether the crossing of tracks by event participants can be charged financially to the organizers? That I would have been interested in this information? That the announcements are centrally about money and not about the sense and nonsense or dangers of crossing the tracks? That it seems to me out of place to carry out subcultural debates with lacquer paint on house walls in Saint-Imier?</p>\n\n<p>But my first impulse is another one: disobedience. And I think it’s because of the form of communication.</p>\n\n<p>I had the feeling of having been treated as condescendingly by some of the people who made\nthese announcements as the authorities treat me elsewhere. Their appeals seemed to assume that “we” would want “the same” without question. What is this “same” conveyed in the subtext? A meeting that receives positive reports in the media? A municipality that is not opposed to hosting such an event again in ten years? Whether I personally share these goals is irrelevant to my discomfort. It is the matter-of-factness with which other views are branded as undesirable deviations that bothers me. Because the answers could be different and those positions deserve their space as well.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/14.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>“Please don’t put up signs if you’re not an organisator.” An ironic sign.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 class=\"darkgreen\" id=\"a-history-of-criticism\"><a href=\"#a-history-of-criticism\"></a>A History of Criticism</h1>\n\n<p>People tend to view the past through rose-tinted lenses while focusing on the negative aspects of the present. Anarchists are no exception. Comparing the 2023 gathering with the one in 2012, for example, some participants complained that the 2012 gathering was a serious political organizing event, whereas the 2023 gathering was just a big party.</p>\n\n<p>I wasn’t at the 2012 gathering, but I read the <a href=\"https://anarchism.pageabode.com/the-international-anarchist-gathering-at-st-imier/#more-670\">reports</a> that appeared afterwards. Attendees charged that there was not enough meaningful political content, that the discussions were superficial, that there was insufficient engagement with race and gender and a <a href=\"https://stainesanarchists.wordpress.com/2012/11/09/how-accessible-is-your-revolution-reflections-on-st-imier/\">lack of accommodations</a> ensuring accessibility. There was controversy over the pieing of a politician who had apparently denounced militant anarchism. Vegans carried out an intervention against attendees who were cooking meat.</p>\n\n<p>The organizers of the 2012 gathering also faced criticism for attempting to curate the program themselves. One critic <a href=\"https://libcom.org/article/report-st-imier-international-congress-8th-12th-august-2012\">grumbled</a>, “If another international gathering is called in the future, it would be great to see anarchist principles of co-operation and shared responsibility at the forefront of the organizing.”</p>\n\n<p>Arguably, the organizers of the 2023 gathering overcorrected, creating an almost entirely open process via which anyone could announce an event. And yet, surprisingly, this experiment was more or less successful on its own terms. Next time, we can anticipate that organizers will overcorrect again, reacting against the shortfalls and critiques of this year’s gathering.</p>\n\n<p>Criticism is an essential part of organizing. But the proper role of criticism is to inform our own active efforts, not to marinate in negativity, nor to bully others into doing things the way we want them to. We should not be distracted from the tremendous things our comrades have accomplished by the fact that there is still room for improvement.</p>\n\n<p>Likewise, let us not imagine that the anarchist movement can accomplish the things we desire it to without our own active involvement.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/7.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>The ghosts of the past: a skeleton puppet at the gathering in Saint-Imier.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 class=\"darkred\" id=\"accompanied-by-the-spirit-of-mary-shelley\"><a href=\"#accompanied-by-the-spirit-of-mary-shelley\"></a>Accompanied by the Spirit of Mary Shelley</h1>\n\n<p>We found ourselves in the Jura mountains experiencing some sort of phantasmagoria brought on by jet lag and heat exhaustion. Upon reaching Saint-Imier, we employed the few French words that hadn’t evaporated from our minds as spells to summon espresso to lift us from the fog. With each espresso, we became more aware of what was actually happening. We were increasingly impressed by the food logistics and increasingly fascinated by the crowds. Every day, more people arrived from Latin America, the Balkans, Eastern Europe, and, for whatever reason, so many from Leipzig, Germany in particular.</p>\n\n<p>Although it was largely a linguistic sea of French and German with splashes of Italian or Spanish, our US accents cut through the currents and reached curious ears. In one instance, a UK anarchist began to chat us up at the stream beside the ice arena hosting the book fair. We compared notes about the currents of transphobia and recuperation of trans struggle in the name of consumer identities in our respective contexts. Bemoaning the climate nightmare, we explored the related possibility of dark horse wineries coming out on top. The we reviewed our respective regions’ anarchist book fair drama and commiserated about experiencing dire economic situations while also being located in the imperial core.</p>\n\n<p>Another such encounter occurred behind Espace Noir. We sat in the thick smoke, alone in a crowd, discussing various things for a while, but when one of us mentioned Chicago and another mentioned the gorgons, an older Swiss woman interjected, “What’s this about gorgons?”</p>\n\n<p>“Gorgons used to be guardian figures,” one of us answered. The conversation wandered from monsters as portents to Frankenstein’s monster as a depiction of “the abject” and “the excluded,” and from there to the revelation that Mary Shelley wrote <em>Frankenstein</em> while on a train in the Jura region, quoting her friends’ poetry throughout. We all got a big laugh at “Schützengarten” beer, which then opened the door for the gun conversation, with us being surprised by the sporting gun culture in Switzerland and the Swiss women being surprised that we routinely do a version of trap shooting that includes firing beer cans out of a legally augmented AR15 lower so we can shoot them out of the air with a sporting shotgun. This conversation left us thinking about generational gaps in US anarchism and what it would be like to pursue more affective encounters rather than more regimented ones.</p>\n\n<p>This “pursuit of the affective” didn’t go so well in practice, with one of us getting their glasses broken in the pit the night before our talk, but on our second-to-last night in Saint-Imier, we successfully hunted down the source of the gabber and hardtek music that had been lulling us to sleep from far away each evening. We started from the fried snack stand (where the music wasn’t the right bpm) and passed by the cheese vending machine. Finally, we found a mini-rave in a clearing by a train bridge. As soon as we saw their sound system, the logistics were immediately intelligible to those of us with audio know-how, which gave us a myriad of ideas to bring back home.</p>\n\n<p>Before we left the region, we headed to the lakeside city of Neuchâtel. Alongside the beautiful blue water of the lake and the colorful Prussian statues, the walls of the city were decorated with graffiti—the good ol’ three arrows covering up NS tags, “ZAD Partout!,” and “Nique la Police.” Fittingly, we saw some words by Mary Shelley written on the wall, a through line for our reverie.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/12.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Street art in Saint-Imier: selections from Arthur Rimbaud’s poem “Drunken Boat.”</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 class=\"deeppink\" id=\"the-choir\"><a href=\"#the-choir\"></a>The Choir</h1>\n\n<p>The last thing we experienced before leaving was a choral ensemble in the city square of Saint-Imier, comprised of various revolutionary choirs from around Europe singing century-old anarchist songs together. The voices of the past, addressing us in the present. It was deeply moving.</p>\n\n<p>Trends, controversies, even individual anarchists come and go, but the spirit of what we are doing is greater than us, older than us, and it is an honor to witness its transmission from one century to the next.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/08/22/8.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>An anarchist songbook open to a classic song in Saint-Imier, 2023.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<div class=\"footnotes\" role=\"doc-endnotes\">\n  <ol>\n    <li id=\"fn:1\">\n      <p>Painting with a broad brush, we can characterize the politics associated with these currents thus: Proudhon (pro-market, anti-state, anti-feminist, anti-insurrection), Blanqui (anti-capitalist, pro-state, de facto anti-feminist, pro-insurrection), Marx (anti-capitalist, pro-state, pro-feminist, anti-insurrection), and Bakunin (anti-capitalist, anti-state, pro-feminist, pro-insurrection). <a href=\"#fnref:1\" class=\"reversefootnote\" role=\"doc-backlink\">&#8617;</a></p>\n    </li>\n    <li id=\"fn:2\">\n      <p>The two American sections of the International were represented at the Saint-Imier by Gustave Lefrançais—a participant in the Paris Commune and, incidentally, the person to whom the lyrics of the revolutionary anthem “The Internationale” <a href=\"https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k81559w/f41.image\">were dedicated</a>. <a href=\"#fnref:2\" class=\"reversefootnote\" role=\"doc-backlink\">&#8617;</a></p>\n    </li>\n    <li id=\"fn:3\">\n      <p>Bearing in mind that the International had been founded in 1864, the five years of activity of the “Anti-Authoritarian International” between 1872 and 1877 compare favorably enough with the eight years during which Marx was involved before that.

Today, as fascists and other bigots renew their <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/05/05/the-fight-for-gender-self-determination-confronting-the-assault-on-trans-people\">assault</a> on queer and trans people and anarchists <a href=\"https://itsgoingdown.org/pittsburgh-report-back-knowles/\">fight back</a>, there is an urgent need for renewed coordination and innovation. In this context, participants in the original Bash Back! network have called for a <a href=\"https://bashback.info/\">new Bash Back! convergence in September 2023</a>.</p>\n\n<p>As they put it,</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>The intervening years have been marked by intensification—of crisis, alienation, loss, and struggle. The right wing no longer hides behind euphemisms: they want to exterminate trans and queer people. The left offers only false solutions: vote, donate, assimilate. A decade of representation, symbolic legal victories, social media activism, and mass-market saturation has left us worse off by all metrics. Our fair-weather friends won’t save us from the consequences of their strategy of empty visibility. The inescapable conclusion is that we must come together to protect ourselves.</p>\n\n  <p>History confirms the queer legacy of building connection in a world that hates us, the legacy of riotous joy—the legacy of bashing back. The attacks will continue on our nightclubs, forests, story hours, and siblings. To hold on, we need spaces—underground if necessary—to re-encounter each other, spaces to remember, build, share, and conspire.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>To explore the legacy of Bash Back! and what it has to offer today, we conducted the following interview with previous participants in Bash Back! who are helping to organize the upcoming convergence.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/04/27/7.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p class=\"darkred\"><strong>Tell us about the gathering in September. What can people do to participate or contribute?</strong></p>\n\n<p>The 2023 Bash Back! Convergence will be taking place in Chicago from September 8-11. We’re inviting all of our queer comrades for a weekend of building connection, learning from each other, and developing new strategies and tactics to fight against the social order. We are organizing this because there have been so many inspiring examples of queer people bashing back against bigots—for example, the reactionaries who try to shut down drag shows. However, there is still a need for increased cohesion and strategizing, especially in light of the escalating attacks against queer and trans people across the country and across the world. Of course, these attacks come in the context of a deeply-rooted and escalating crisis of capital more generally and a climate crisis that deepens with every passing day.</p>\n\n<p>More specifically, there is an obvious need to build anti-capitalist, anti-statist, and anti-assimilationist militant queer tendency. The liberals and leftists have pushed assimilation so that queer and trans people can be used as political pawns, to be sacrificed when electorally convenient. Any gains in the culture war have led only to the subsumption of queerness to the logic of capital and the false freedom of consumer politics.</p>\n\n<p>In terms of what folks can do to participate or contribute, the main thing right now is that we are looking for folks to propose programming for the convergence. We’re <a href=\"mailto: bashback2023@riseup.net\">accepting proposals</a> until June 20. Beyond programming, the biggest thing that people can do is to start building relationships and affinities with people in their communities. That’s always been the essence of Bash Back!; it’s never been a centralized organization but rather a network to share ideas and camaraderie.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/04/27/2.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<p class=\"darkred\"><strong>Bash Back! originated in the run-up to the 2008 Republican National Convention. Did the fact that it began largely in the Midwest rather than on the coasts influence its character and the way that it developed?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Bash Back!’s origins are rooted in a context that, a decade and a half later, seems worlds away. Two things, I think, were central to the political climate that gave rise to Bash Back!: the summit-hopping method of protest and a surge in the popularity of insurrectionary anarchism within the anarchist/radical milieu at the time. By summit-hopping, I mean the large demonstrations against the gatherings of capitalists, such as the World Trade Organization summit in Seattle in 1999 and the meetings of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, G8, and G20 throughout the 2000s. In hindsight, these protests were dramatic and high-profile, but largely symbolic. Then you had insurrectionary anarchism becoming more popular—especially, I think, with people who had been politicized or radicalized by the anti-war movement but also saw that movement for the utter failure that it was. In terms of tactics, the focus was on affinity groups and black blocs.</p>\n\n<p>In that context, the original idea for Bash Back! came out of the organizing that was going on to disrupt the Republican National Convention in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota) in 2008. A strategy session in Milwaukee in 2007 gave rise to the idea of a queer/trans blockade of the RNC, and Bash Back! grew from that initial idea.</p>\n\n<p>One of the most significant things about the original iteration of Bash Back! is that it was largely a product of anarchists from the Midwest. At the time, a lot of the more visible “radical” or progressive queer activism was coming from the coasts, with established activist scenes that often stifled new ideas or were under the stranglehold of the ideology of non-violence. There was also a degree of cultural elitism, in which the assumption was that being a “radical queer” had to happen in the big, liberal, coastal cities. So Bash Back!, coming out of the Midwest and not beholden to any established “radical queer” scenes, opened up new possibilities for militance, especially in direct resistance to the extremely anti-queer churches, politicians, and other assorted gay-bashers of that time.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/04/27/4.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<p class=\"darkred\"><strong>Recount some of the major events, struggles, and court cases in the first phase of Bash Back!</strong></p>\n\n<p>This is a tough question to answer, because there was so much that happened across the country because of Bash Back! But a few things that I think are important to highlight:</p>\n\n<ul>\n  <li><strong>DNC/RNC 2008:</strong> the nascent Bash Back! network was involved in <a href=\"https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/various-authors-queer-ultra-violence#toc35\">protests</a> in Denver (for the Democratic National Convention) and the Twin Cities (for the Republican National Convention)</li>\n  <li><strong>Pittsburgh 2009:</strong> Bash Back! held a <a href=\"https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/various-authors-queer-ultra-violence#toc116\">rowdy march</a> in Pittsburgh during the G20 Summit.</li>\n  <li><strong>Mt. Hope Church:</strong> In November 2008, Bash Back! people <a href=\"https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/various-authors-queer-ultra-violence#toc74\">disrupted</a> a Sunday service at a notoriously anti-gay megachurch in Lansing, Michigan. This led to a lawsuit by the Alliance Defending Freedom against Bash Back! that, after a several-year legal fight, resulted in a permanent injunction against church disruptions.</li>\n  <li><strong>Avenge Duanna campaign:</strong> In February 2008, Duanna Johnson, a black trans woman, was beaten by police officers in Memphis, Tennessee. She was murdered in November 2008, presumably by the cops that beat her months prior. This sparked a <a href=\"https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/various-authors-queer-ultra-violence#toc40\">campaign</a> in Memphis to avenge her death.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<hr />\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/04/27/9.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Participants in Bash Back! Lansing, interviewed in <em>Details</em> magazine after disrupting the service at a homophobic mega-church.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>In addition, Bash Back! organized three convergences:</p>\n\n<ul>\n  <li><strong><a href=\"https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/various-authors-queer-ultra-violence#toc16\">Chicago 2008</a>:</strong> this focused on planning actions around the DNC/RNC in the summer of 2008.</li>\n  <li><strong><a href=\"https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/various-authors-queer-ultra-violence#toc105\">Chicago 2009</a>:</strong> this focused more on developing Bash Back! as a tendency, building connections, and sharpening our attacks on the social order. A street march in Boystown, the gay neighborhood in Chicago, was attacked by police. This caused a bunch of conflict within the convergence between those who fought back against the police and liberal/identity-politics types who pushed for non-violence in the face of police violence.</li>\n  <li><strong>Denver 2010:</strong> this was the last convergence of the original iteration of Bash Back!; the same liberal/identity politics vs. queer insurrection divide was the elephant in the room for this entire convergence. These tensions were as palpable as they were insurmountable, and so Bash Back!, in its original iteration, was declared dead.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>However, these highlights do not even scratch the surface of what Bash Back! did. Chapters across the country were involved in countless acts of vandalism, numerous street confrontations with police, protests against assimilationists and exterminationists, physically bashing bigots, and innumerable acts of propaganda. These things are the legacy of Bash Back!</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/04/27/5.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Promotion for the 2010 Bash Back! convergence in Denver, Colorado.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p class=\"darkred\"><strong>Tell us how Bash Back! worked from existing identity politics frameworks in the late 2000s, but also pushed against them.</strong></p>\n\n<p>When Bash Back! was starting, the ideology of non-violence had a stranglehold on the activist milieu. In terms of identity politics, there was an assumption among many of these liberal/“radical” activists that any confrontation was inevitably pushed by macho, middle/upper class straight white men and thus was racist/sexist/homophobic because queer/trans people, women, and people of color would take the brunt of police repression and violence. Bash Back! pushed directly against that narrative; that was a big part of the drama around the Chicago 2009 convergence. Some people really could not believe that queer/trans people, poor people, women, and people of color had agency to fight cops or be more confrontational. Part of Bash Back!’s appeal was that marginalized people were unapologetically fighting back in a concrete way. In a very practical sense, Bash Back! was pro-violence, and people were not used to hearing this perspective from marginalized groups.</p>\n\n<p>Further, Bash Back! always took a stance against assimilation and liberal identity politics that saw social/political/economic representation as an end goal. So back when issues like gay marriage and military service were the big issues for mainstream LGBT organizations, Bash Back! was firmly opposed to this, and even targeted groups like the Human Rights Campaign and the Stonewall Democrats for being assimilationists or for selling out trans people for political gain.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/04/27/1.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>A Bash Back! poster opposing the assimilationist campaign to make the military more inclusive.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>On a more abstract level, I think that competing approaches to identity were actually a central part of why the original iteration of Bash Back! dissolved. There was a spectrum of views about identity in Bash Back! On one hand, you had a tendency influenced heavily by queer nihilism and insurrectionary anarchism; for this camp, queer identity was an identity of opposition to the capitalist social order and its heteronormativity. Then, on the other hand, there was a more positive approach to queer identity; positive in the sense that it was not based on political opposition to the social order but instead more tied to an individual’s experience of gender/sexuality. Because Bash Back! was an identity-based organization, these competing understandings of queerness led to competing visions for Bash Back!, which ultimately dissolved the network.</p>\n\n<p class=\"darkred\"><strong>What has changed since the heyday of the original network? What does the Bash Back! model have to offer today?</strong></p>\n\n<p>The original Bash Back! started just before the economic crisis in 2008. It feels like we have been moving from crisis to crisis since then—and on top of that, the crises are intensifying. I think that’s probably the biggest change since Bash Back! first started; the permanence of crisis and the sort of hopelessness about the future hadn’t really set in at that time. It used to be controversial to say that things were going to keep getting worse and that we effectively had no future; now, that’s the common understanding of the plight of millennials/Generation Z. Between the seemingly permanent crisis of capitalism and the ongoing climate disaster, things seem bleaker now than they did before.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/04/27/8.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Bash Back! participating in anti-fascist action at a time of lower social conflict.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>But on the other hand, I think that many of the ideas that were being popularized not only in Bash Back! but also in the anarchist milieu more broadly in that era have gained traction in a way that opens up a lot of potential. For example, the concept of prison abolition and the idea of mutual aid have spread into the broader discourse. Labor organizing has also grown in sectors that seemed unreachable previously, and it seems like that has led to a rise in class consciousness as well. More along the focus of Bash Back!, the idea of people being non-binary or genderqueer has also moved into the mainstream in a way that I at least would not have anticipated, given the social climate that Bash Back! originally existed in.</p>\n\n<p>Without diving too much into dry economic analysis, I think it’s indisputable that the contradictions of capitalism have become more glaringly obvious in recent years. And history pretty clearly shows us that crises in capitalism translate to an increase in reactionary politics and repression. Historically, we can look to the example of Magnus Hirschfeld, who was an early advocate for queer and trans people in Berlin in the 1930s. People know that Nazis burned books; what’s often lost is that they burned the library of Hirschfeld’s <em>Institut für Sexualwissenschaft,</em> which was perhaps the first organization specifically advocating for and supporting queer and trans people. So there is a clear history of queer and trans people being the first targets during reactionary moments in history.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/04/27/11.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>A poster for the first Bash Back! convergence in 2008.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Ultimately, that’s what makes the current moment so important and where I think that we can draw on the lessons from the initial era of Bash Back! I think that the fundamental strength of the Bash Back! network was that it was focused on building power not only outside of but in staunch opposition to the state and capitalism. This is really important, because the selling point of the Democratic Party in recent years has been that things will be even worse if Republicans are in control. And that covers up the fact that the Democratic Party is ultimately a party of capitalism; they have no capacity or will to make things better for people. All they will offer is a sort of managed descent into fascism, and the price is assimilation. The alternative, of course, is the outright exterminationist approach of the Republicans.</p>\n\n<p>Bash Back! rejected the assimilationist, statist, and capitalist politics of the mainstream LGBT organizations at that time and focused on queer people building community among comrades, practicing mutual aid and solidarity, and attacking the state, capitalists, and reactionaries. It’s the unapologetic and uncompromising militance that was, I think, the most important contribution of Bash Back! and should be the focus going forward.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/04/27/6.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<p class=\"darkred\"><strong>How can people get involved? What are some tactics and strategies people can employ in their own communities on an ongoing basis, so this will not just be a convergence but the emergence of a new wave of momentum throughout the continent?</strong></p>\n\n<p>It’s hard to say exactly how to get involved with Bash Back!. Obviously, we want people to come to the convergence and share ideas, make connections, and build bonds of solidarity. But in terms of how to get involved, there is no really easy answer. Part of what made Bash Back! so important was that it was a fairly loose network with autonomous chapters doing what made sense for the people involved in those chapters to do locally.</p>\n\n<p>But generally speaking, Bash Back! has focused on confronting bigots, mutual aid, self-defense, and propaganda. Fundamentally, there has to be an understanding that the state is not going to protect us, that politicians will not protect us, that we have to build solidarity within our communities as a matter of survival. For that reason, building trust and camaraderie is essential. Confronting those who would destroy us is essential. And in a world that seeks to keep us miserable, expressions and celebrations of queer joy are essential.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/04/27/3.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<p>As for guidance, the old Bash Back! Points of Unity are a good starting point:</p>\n\n<ol>\n  <li>\n    <p>Fight for liberation. Nothing more, nothing less. State recognition in the form of oppressive institutions such as marriage and militarism are not steps toward liberation but rather towards heteronormative assimilation.</p>\n  </li>\n  <li>\n    <p>A rejection of capitalism, imperialism, and all forms of state power.</p>\n  </li>\n  <li>\n    <p>Actively oppose oppression both in and out of the “movement.” Racism, Patriarchy, Heterosexism, Sexism, Transphobia, and all oppressive behavior is not to be tolerated.</p>\n  </li>\n  <li>\n    <p>Respect a diversity of tactics in the struggle for liberation. Do not solely condemn an action on the grounds that the state deems it to be illegal.</p>\n  </li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>You too can be Bash Back! Organize a chapter and take action in your community!</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/04/27/10.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"further-reading\"><a href=\"#further-reading\"></a>Further Reading</h1>\n\n<ul>\n  <li><a href=\"https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/baedan-baedan\">Baedan</a>, Journal of Queer Nihilism</li>\n  <li><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2022/05/05/the-fight-for-gender-self-determination-confronting-the-assault-on-trans-people\">The Fight for Gender Self-Determination</a>—Confronting the Assault on Trans People</li>\n  <li><a href=\"https://libcom.org/article/free-comrades-anarchism-and-homosexuality-united-states-1895-1917\">Free Comrades: Anarchism and homosexuality in the United States 1895-1917</a></li>\n  <li><a href=\"https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/various-authors-queer-ultra-violence\">Queer Ultra Violence: Bash Back!

This is only the most recent of a series of violent police retaliations against the movement. The official narrative is that Cop City is necessary to make Atlanta “safe,” but this brutal killing reveals what they mean when they use that word.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2023/01/19/1.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>In memory of Manuel Teran, also known by the name <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/CnnTF_0O8rp/\">Tortuguita</a>.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Forests are the lungs of planet Earth. The destruction of forests affects all of us. So do the gentrification and police violence that the bulldozing of Weelaunee Forest would facilitate. What is happening in Atlanta is not a local issue.</p>\n\n<p>Politicians who support Cop City have attempted to discredit forest defenders as “outside agitators.” This smear has a disgraceful history in the South, where authorities have used it against abolitionists, labor organizers, and the Civil Rights Movement, among others. The goal of those who spread this narrative is to discourage solidarity and isolate communities from each other while offering a pretext to bring in state and federal forces, who are the actual “outside agitators.” The consequence of that strategy is on full display in the tragedy of January 18.</p>\n\n<p>Replacing a forest with a police training center will only create a more violently policed society, in which taxpayer resources enrich police and weapons companies rather than addressing social needs. Mass incarceration and police militarization have failed to bring down crime or improve conditions for poor and working-class communities.</p>\n\n<p>In Atlanta and across the US, investment in police budgets comes at the expense of access to food, education, childcare, and healthcare, of affordable and stable housing, of parks and public spaces, of transit and the free movement of people, of economic stability for the many. Concentrating resources in the hands of police serves to defend the extreme accumulation of wealth and power by corporations and the very rich.</p>\n\n<p>What do cops do with their increased budgets and their carte blanche from politicians? They kill people, every single day. They incarcerate and traumatize schoolchildren, parents, loved ones who are simply struggling to survive. We must not settle for a society organized recklessly upon the values of violence, racism, greed, and careless indifference to life.</p>\n\n<p>The struggle that is playing out in Atlanta is a contest for the future. As the catastrophic effects of climate change hammer our communities with hurricanes, heat waves, and forest fires, the stakes of this contest are clearer than ever. It will determine whether those who come after us inherit an inhabitable Earth or a police state nightmare. It is up to us to create a peaceful society that does not treat human life as expendable.</p>\n\n<p>The forest defenders are trying to create a better world for all of us. We owe it to the people of Atlanta and to future generations everywhere to support them.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Here are some ways to support the defense of the forest in Atlanta:</strong></p>\n\n<ul>\n  <li><strong>Donate</strong> to the <a href=\"http://atlsolidarity.org/\">Atlanta Solidarity Fund</a> to support legal costs for arrested protestors and ongoing legal action.</li>\n  <li><strong>Call</strong> on investors in the project to divest from Cop City (<a href=\"https://littlesis.org/org/173655-Atlanta_Police_Foundation\">list of APF investors</a>). <strong>Call</strong> on <a href=\"http://stopreevesyoung.com/\">builders of the project</a> to drop their construction contracts.</li>\n  <li><strong>Organize</strong> political solidarity bail funds, forest defense funds, and forest defense committees where you live.</li>\n  <li><strong>Organize</strong> or <strong>participate in</strong> local solidarity actions.</li>\n  <li><strong>Endorse</strong> and <strong>circulate</strong> this statement of solidarity.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h1 id=\"endorsements\"><a href=\"#endorsements\"></a>Endorsements</h1>\n\n<p>To endorse this statement, please contact <a href=\"mailto:defendweelaunee@riseup.net\">defendweelaunee@riseup.net</a>.

This apparently includes those who simply refer to the invasion as a “war,” rather than a “special operation,” as Putin’s government has insisted on doing. In this context, demonstrators show tremendous courage taking to the streets.</p>\n\n<p>The next mass day of protest is scheduled for this Sunday, March 6. We hope their efforts will be echoed by demonstrators around the world, placing pressure from all directions on the Russian government, the global capitalist class, military profiteers, and all the other forces that are abetting the invasion.</p>\n\n<p>To support demonstrators in Russia, donate to the Anarchist Black Cross in Moscow <a href=\"https://wiki.avtonom.org/en/index.php/Donate\">here</a>. To support anarchists in Ukraine, donate <a href=\"https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=Q2K9RMBVVJMN4\">here</a> or <a href=\"https://operation-solidarity.org/\">here</a>.

Putin has lost his senses and his army is bombing cities, shooting civilians, and killing children. More than one million people have fled the country in order to escape from Putin’s “liberators.”</p>\n\n<p>We refuse to submit to Russian military censorship. We say openly and clearly: this is war. This is a war of conquest and the Russian army is running it. With weapons in their hands, Ukrainians are successfully defending themselves from the invaders, but we, who are inside Russia, cannot stand aside from these events. We must show each other and the world that we are against this war, that only Putin and his gang need it. To be against the war is genuine anti-fascism right now.</p>\n\n<p><strong>March 6, this coming Sunday, is the general day of anti-war actions in Russia. Take the central square of your city! One of the meeting points in Moscow is the Square of the train stations at 15:00. There are also meetings at 19:00 and other times. Decide and organize for yourselves, team up with your friends. The main thing is to get out on the streets.</strong></p>\n\n<p>The Russian authorities are panicking now. They have realized that they are losing this war. That is why they hysterically threaten anti-war protesters—with expulsion, or with dismissal, or with immediate conscription into the army, or with jail. Don’t be afraid of them. Ukrainians in their cities go out into the streets with bare hands to protest against the invaders. They are standing against solders with riffles, against tanks. How can one be afraid of the rusty machinery of the Russian police?</p>\n\n<p>We demand an immediate end to the war. We demand the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine. This is the main condition for any further action: the aggression of the Russian Federation must stop. We must stop the slaughter of people. Yes, Putin didn’t ask us when he planned the invasion—but we didn’t stop him in time. So it is important to do it at least now.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, our main goal now is to stop the war in Ukraine. But we have to fight for the future of Russia, as well. There isn’t much time left for this deranged dictator. His small victorious war didn’t go according to the plan and now his removal is only a matter of time and concrete means. But what happens next, after Putin?</p>\n\n<p>The lands of the “Russian Federation” are now at a historical crossroads. The collapse of Putin’s regime may trigger the process of liberation. Sure, they won’t lead to anarchist ideals immediately—but at least Russia will no longer be at war with the rest of the world and with its own population. In this wave of changes, there will be opportunities for serious changes in the political system towards greater decentralization—for example, <a href=\"https://avtonom.org/news/nasha-alternativa-putinu-otmena-posta-prezidenta\">the complete abolition of the presidency and the transition to a parliamentary republic</a>, which we have been talking about for a long time.</p>\n\n<p>However, there’s another possibility for “what comes next” after Putin: the regime transforming into a pupal stage, into an even more authoritarian regime—the complete closure of all borders and the cessation of international contacts. Blocking half of the Internet in Russia tonight is only the first sign. There will no longer be any forces left for aggressive wars, but this will not make it easier for the inhabitants: they will find themselves in a state reminiscent of North Korea. And there is absolutely no anarchist movement in North Korea. None.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2022/03/04/4.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>The face of Russia’s future as well as present? It remains to be seen.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>Now, in the coming days and weeks, we all have a unique window of opportunity. Putin’s authoritarian regime has made a fatal mistake and is reeling. If the psychopath in the Kremlin does not press the nuclear button, he will not live long. And now everything depends on us, the inhabitants of Russia. If we remain silent, then the agenda will quickly be hijacked by isolationists and conservatives, who are in the majority in the upper levels of power. But if we are active, we will win. A rusted leviathan needs only to be pushed and it will crumble into dust.</p>\n\n<p>Take the streets on March 6. If you can’t go out on March 6, go out on other days. If you can’t go out at all, protest against the war in other ways: distribute leaflets and posters, stick up stickers, write “no war” on medical masks, hang posters from balconies. Finally, talk to people. This is now more important than studies, more important than work, more important than anything else in the world. Now the fate of not only Ukraine, but also Russia is being decided. Our future is being determined—and only we will be responsible for what it will be.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Winter is ending. Spring is coming.</strong></p>\n\n<p>—<a href=\"https://avtonom.org/news/nastupaet-vesna-vyhodite-na-ulicy-protiv-voyny\">Autonomous Action</a></p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2022/03/04/1.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>A sticker reading “no war” in St. Petersburg, Russia.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2022/03/04/2.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2022/03/04/3.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>A sticker reading “no war” on an urban map in Russia.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2022/03/04/7.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>A poster attached to a backpack with charming pins, belonging to a Russian anti-war protester.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n"

As the dust settles from the Trump era—following a year when the President of the United States singled out “anarchists” as one of his chief targets—and a new phase of corporate capitalism gets underway, this is an important time to reach out to others to articulate a critique of authoritarian power and popularize approaches to social change based in horizontality and autonomy.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://store.crimethinc.com/products/to-change-everything\">Order copies here</a> for the price of postage alone.</p>\n\n<p><em>To Change Everything</em> is a full-color 48-page booklet.

On January 20, we call on everyone to gather outside these places—either to welcome children and families back into freedom or else to take steps to ensure that their detention concludes with the end of the Trump presidency.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2021/01/11/1.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<p>Biden was a key member of the Obama administration’s deportation machinery, which deported more than 2.6 million people. Those numbers do not include all the migrants who died in the increasingly hostile desert terrain of the US-Mexico border, nor does it account for those affected by US investment in Mexico’s immigration program and attempts to strengthen Mexico’s southern border. For every migrant detained or deported, there is a story of the violence they experienced at the hands of ICE. This government agency is notorious for separating immigrant families, caging children, letting adults and children die from treatable medical conditions, and inflicting needless hysterectomies on detainees. Regardless of which administration oversees these detention centers, the elderly will continue to die of COVID-19 in cramped conditions, families will be torn apart, and those who stand up for themselves will face cruel repression until the centers are abolished.</p>\n\n<p>The far right has <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2021/01/07/january-6-the-debut-of-a-mass-base-for-fascism\">made dramatic moves</a> this month. Biden is already working to accommodate these racists and xenophobes, signaling that he will not interrupt ICE deportations and the family separation policy for fear of right-wing backlash if he honors his campaign promises.</p>\n\n<p>The new presidential administration wants to play both sides. They are hoping that Inauguration Day passes without any further acknowledgement of the suffering inside ICE detention centers. It is instructive that Biden <a href=\"https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/joe-biden-protester-carlos-rojas-20191125.html\">shouted down</a> a Cosecha organizer who demanded that he answer for the Obama administration’s high deportation rate. Biden told the organizer to “Go vote for Trump!”—an indication of how meager the differences will be between Trump’s policies and those of the new administration.</p>\n\n<p>Unless we act, the detainment, deportation, and dehumanization of immigrants will not end with the Trump administration. We must compel the Biden administration to free our immigrant neighbors back into our communities.</p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet \" data-lang=\"en\">\n<a href=\"https://twitter.com/fla_ylf/status/1349522066614218754\">https://twitter.com/fla_ylf/status/1349522066614218754</a></blockquote>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>\n\n<p>With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, immigrants’ lives in ICE detention have become even more precarious, and the medical neglect they face even more deadly.

      "content_html": "<p>In the early hours of Saturday, December 19, one day <em>before</em> their new terms of service took effect, Instagram shut down a page associated with CrimethInc. with no explanation or justification. The account had never been suspended before, nor received so much as a warning. Well over 40,000 people were following it. The issue was not a violation of the terms of service—rather, this is a political measure to suppress the voices of dissidents, expanding <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/08/19/on-facebook-banning-pages-that-support-crimethinccom-and-the-digital-censorship-to-come\">Facebook’s August 2020 decision</a> to ban an array of pages associated with anarchist journalists and publishers.</p>\n\n<p>This comes at the same time that Instagram is suppressing the voices of <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/CJAFSoXlUA-/\">sex workers</a> and <a href=\"https://twitter.com/GustavoTurnerX/status/1340798631788511232\">their supporters</a>, among other groups. These are not isolated incidents, but steps in a systematic crackdown intended to exclude millions of voices from public discourse in order to render the communities that these platforms serve more vulnerable to other forms of repression.</p>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Facebook <a href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/12/with-the-election-over-facebook-gets-back-to-spreading-misinformation\">continues to offer a platform</a> to far-right conspiracy theories, militia groups, and fascist organizing. In one of the most glaring examples of this, last August’s militia mobilization in Kenosha, Wisconsin—in which far-right paramilitary Kyle Rittenhouse murdered two people and shot a third—was organized over Facebook a few weeks after the company took down the pages of dozens of anti-fascist journalists who would otherwise have reported on it.</p>\n\n<p>As <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/08/22/open-letter-stand-with-anarchist-publishers-banned-by-facebook-announcing-a-solidarity-statement-from-anarchist-agency\">we wrote</a> in August:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>Facebook’s decision to ban pages associated with anarchism is a strategic step in a much bigger unfolding conflict. It is analogous to a military knocking out a village’s lines of communication before carrying out a bombing. […] Anarchists are only one out of many groups on the list of targets; many immigrants, Black people and other people of color, Muslims, trans and queer people, and others are experiencing far worse forms of oppression. But this precedent, like all the previous precedents, will only embolden government agencies and fascist groups to carry out more attacks, not all of which will occur online.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Thousands of public figures including Noam Chomsky, David Graeber, Cory Doctorow, and Chelsea Manning came together to publish an <a href=\"https://www.change.org/p/stand-with-anarchist-publishers-banned-by-facebook\">open letter</a> protesting the banning of anarchist journalists from Facebook and rejecting the company’s false equivalence between right-wing groups that organize violent attacks and anti-fascist groups that report on them. Yet controlling the largest monopoly in the history of interpersonal communication, Facebook has little incentive to be accountable to public opinion. It is especially telling that they are continuing this crackdown as we enter the Biden era, when they have no need to curry favor with the outgoing Trump administration.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2020/12/21/4.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<p>Profit-driven social media corporations have never had the best interests of the public at heart. With the exception of <a href=\"https://twitter.com/crimethinc\">Twitter</a>, where we have contacts among the original programmers, we shunned corporate social media platforms for the first two decades of our publishing. Four years ago, in recognition that a new generation was becoming politicized via social media and not wishing to cede the terrain entirely to authoritarians, CrimethInc. accounts appeared on Facebook, Instagram, and elsewhere. Today, we are rapidly entering a world in which doing without Facebook and Instagram will not be a question of boycotting, but rather the consequence of a widespread crackdown.</p>\n\n<p>If nothing else, this means that our efforts to establish other venues of communication will be relevant to many others as well. It’s high time to foster  our own resilient communication channels so that relying on corporate platforms will not be our Achilles heel.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2020/12/21/3.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<h1 id=\"surviving-the-crackdown\"><a href=\"#surviving-the-crackdown\"></a>Surviving the Crackdown</h1>\n\n<p>Here’s how to keep up with us despite the Facebook and Instagram bans.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"facebook-and-instagram\"><a href=\"#facebook-and-instagram\"></a>Facebook and Instagram</h2>\n\n<p>While we ourselves no longer use these platforms, we endorse <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/To-Change-Everything-103734818122357\">this Facebook page</a> and <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/CrimethincAgain/\">this Instagram page</a> as sources providing updates similar to what we used to offer.

We’ve always had social networks, but no one could use them to sell advertisements—nor were they so easy to map. Now they reappear as something we have to consult. People corresponded with old friends, taught themselves skills, and heard about public events long before email, Google, and Twitter. Of course, these technologies are extremely helpful in a world in which few of us are close with our neighbors or spend more than a few years in any location. The forms assumed by technology and daily life influence each other, making it increasingly unthinkable to uncouple them.</p>\n\n  <p>…This isn’t a criticism of technology per se. The point is that it’s not neutral: technology is always shaped by the structures of the society in which it is developed and applied. Most of the technologies familiar to us were shaped by the imperatives of profit and rule, but a society based on other values would surely produce other technologies. As digital technology becomes increasingly enmeshed in the fabric of our society, the important question is not whether to use it, but how to undermine the structures that produced it.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>-<a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2013/06/10/the-internet-as-new-enclosure\">The Internet as New Enclosure</a>: Digitized Capitalism, the Attention Economy, and the Surveillance State</p>\n\n"

Nathan Goodman and Kelly Wright, two authors whose pages were banned, have published <a href=\"https://c4ss.org/content/53349\">a response</a> noting the many forms of violent conduct from state and far-right entities that Facebook endorses, by contrast with the forms of speech for which it is banning publishers and individual users.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/08/19/on-facebook-banning-pages-that-support-crimethinccom-and-the-digital-censorship-to-come#coverage\">Many commenters</a> have pointed out Facebook’s intentional effort to conflate groups that organize to carry out racist attacks with adherents of the philosophy of anarchism. As the solidarity statement argues,</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>Facebook categorizes anarchists with far-right militias that support the Trump administration, linking two groups that are fundamentally dissimilar and opposed… drawing a false equivalence between those who orchestrate white supremacist attacks and those who organize to protect their communities against them.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>The statement first appeared signed by hundreds of people, including well-known journalists <a href=\"https://twitter.com/abbymartin\">Abby Martin</a>, <a href=\"https://twitter.com/mrjasonowilson\">Jason Wilson</a>, and <a href=\"https://www.huffpost.com/author/christopher-mathias\">Christopher Mathias</a>. Other signatories include novelists <a href=\"https://www.eff.org/about/staff/cory-doctorow\">Cory Doctorow</a>, <a href=\"https://rachelkushner.com/\">Rachel Kushner</a>, and Alain Damasio and a wide range of academics, including Noam Chomsky—programmers, including Twitter founding team member <a href=\"https://twitter.com/rabble\">Evan Henshaw-Plath</a>—activists, including Chelsea Manning—musicians, including Andrew Hurley—and the editors of Jacobin, Semiotext(e), and AK Press, among many other publishers. Since then, over a thousand more people have endorsed the statement on <a href=\"https://www.change.org/p/stand-with-anarchist-publishers-banned-by-facebook\">Change.org</a>.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<p>This is not the first wave of bans Facebook has perpetrated against pages associated with anarchism. For example, in May, we <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/05/15/greece-repression-and-resistance-during-the-pandemic\">published a report</a> from a Greek anarchist news publisher that was similarly banned:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>In early May, the Facebook page for RadioFragmata was shut down abruptly without reason. We expect nothing else from Facebook, but over 30,000 people followed the page, which served as a far-reaching platform spreading information about the struggle in Greece and abroad. We have organized a new page and continue to maintain a blog and twitter account. We assume Facebook took down our page in response to a request from the state, but Facebook has not given any justification for their action whatsoever.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>This time around—and once more with no warning, justification, or notification—the bans have included <a href=\"https://sole.bandcamp.com/\">MC Sole</a>, Truthout writer <a href=\"https://truthout.org/authors/chris-steele/\">Chris Steele</a>, an Anarchists Worldwide archive page, the European news source Enough is Enough, and pages belonging to the John Brown Gun Club, Redneck Revolt, Molotov 5.7, and many other projects, as well as the pages belonging to the administrators, including users from Australia to Turkey. This, in turn, affects other pages run by these administrators; Facebook has banned some of them, while leaving others without administrators, effectively disabling them.</p>\n\n<p>Other pages <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/270724589641235/posts/3208099372570394/\">have</a> received notices from Facebook, but have not yet been removed.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“And if you ban us from your clubs, it’s the right time, with the right mind.”</p>\n\n  <p>-Bad Brains, “<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHtB0SMZtLU\">Banned in DC</a>”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>It’s not surprising that Facebook is siding with the Trump administration in the its war against dissent and those who oppose fascism. We have <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2013/10/04/feature-deserting-the-digital-utopia\">always argued against</a> entrusting unaccountable Silicon Valley corporations with the power to shape public discourse and carry out surveillance to pass on information to the government. We should focus our efforts and resources on building communications infrastructure that is not vulnerable to corporate executives’ desire to pander to the agenda of the Trump administration or any other government.</p>\n\n<p>At the same time, Facebook’s decision to ban pages associated with anarchism is a strategic step in a much bigger unfolding conflict. It is analogous to a military knocking out a village’s lines of communication before carrying out a bombing. The Trump administration intends to intensify its attacks against protest movements and they want to minimize our ability to report on these or mobilize against them. Anarchists are only one out of many groups on the list of targets; many immigrants, Black people and other people of color, Muslims, trans and queer people, and others are experiencing far worse forms of oppression.

Rather than honestly reckoning with the content and online behaviors they are incentivizing through algorithms designed to maximize advertising returns rather than public good, Facebook has instead decided to blunder through banning some of the most needed voices and outlets focused on creating a more just world for everyone.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Moxie Marlinspike</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“As a nonprofit dedicated to advancing human rights by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity, privacy, and censorship circumvention technologies, we are very concerned about the bans of the affected pages. The bias in this decision shows a disregard for important free speech, and demonstrates how far social media companies still have to go to implement effective content control without violating human rights.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—<a href=\"https://www.torproject.org/\">The Tor Project</a></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“Facebook’s actions show how much power tech capitalists have over free speech and should be viewed as an attack on the entire workers’ movement. We stand in solidarity with all those targeted.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Bhaskar Sunkara, editor of Jacobin</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“I have no words for the callousness and cruelty of Facebook’s decision. They did it for political cover so the right-wing media they fear would be less angry about the banning of various militia and QAnon pages. But by banning Crimethinc, It’s Going Down, MC Sole and numerous anti-fascist accounts, Facebook has equated nonviolence with mass murder and dissent with genocide. They announced their willingness to participate with the U.S. government in the purges that are to come.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Robert Evans, investigative journalist with Bellingcat and host of the Behind the Bastards podcast on iHeartRadio</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“From the Myanmar genocide scandal to the constant censorship of Kurdish activism, Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg have proven time again that they are in favor of censorship and state oppression. This recent wave of removal of anti-fascist accounts is just another example of their willingness to shut down anything that isn’t advertiser friendly. It’s no surprise, but due to the sheer grip Facebook has on the internet, their censorship must be called out at every opportunity.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Jake Hanrahan, independent journalist and documentary filmmaker. Founder of Popular Front.</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“The ban of ‘Antifacist’ accounts on Facebook is simply driven by political agenda. Mainly that of our current presidential administration and its right-wing following, that are ofttimes of a violent extremist nature themselves. If you truly wish to reduce harm, ban the president’s image, for he spreads false information and abstract hatred with his every statement. These bans are a direct and deliberate assault on the first amendment rights of individuals whose political ideologies don’t fit the current administration’s views.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Cory Elia, Managing Editor for Village Portland, podcaster, radio news broadcaster with KBOO Community radio, and board member for PSU’s Student Media Board</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“When neo-Nazis were planning terrorism and violence in Charlottesville, they took to Facebook to organize. There, they were allowed to share posts calling for the raising of an army, the rasing of able-bodied fighters, and the harassment of Black and Jewish people in Charlottesville. When local organizers pushed back to prevent the violence, CrimethInc. was one of the only outlets to publish local concerns accurately and openly. As a survivor of the terrorism and violence, I find it unconscionable that Facebook can take action against one of the few organizations who was willing and able to help my community and me prevent the violence, when Facebook was a passive participant in helping those promote and encourage the terror.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Emily Gorcenski, creator of First Vigil and neo-Nazi terror survivor</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“The recent unfair Facebook ban of anarchist publishers and artist is like banning love. These folks are writing about and fighting for a better and just world. One where dignity and autonomy replace state and corporate violence and suffering. We desperately need these dreamers and voices to imagine a way to save the planet and all living beings on it. To silence these voices is coming out supporting the corporate ruling class, and the injustices that continue to grow under these brutal systems.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—carla bergman, anarchist, organizer, and co-author of Joyful Militancy</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“Facebook’s decision to ban anarchist publishers has nothing to do with ‘stopping violence’ and everything to do with silencing those who speak out against a brutal, repressive system that no longer works for 99% of the world. We could point to supporters of violently racist ideology such as Breitbart or Daily Wire, whose advertisement money Facebook welcomes, but the hypocrisy is beyond the point. Anarchists dream of a world where peace and dignity for all is the norm, and no longer something that must be fought for by staring down the barrel of a tear gas launcher. By banning publishers who openly advocate for building a better world without unquestioned power and oppression, Facebook has very much made it clear where they stand on the issue of ‘violence.’”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Sydney Anarcho-Communists</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“This is the latest wave in oppressive Facebook censorship that has cast a wide net targeting radicals and leftists around the globe. While fascist pages, persons and groups are allowed to openly call for violence, those who stand against fascism and for justice are not only sidelined but silenced.  We must amplify these voices now more than ever, but more than that, we must find ways to organize, tell our truths and build without having to rely only on the structures and platforms of the oppressors.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Eleanor Goldfield, artist, organizer, journalist, filmmaker</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“We have all known for some time that Facebook does not exist for any reason except to maintain their own profits, which rest squarely on the bedrock of a repressive government doing everything it can to quell dissent. Silencing the voices of anti-fascists and anarchists, who publish news and analysis about people who fight for a better world, comes as no surprise in this context of state and corporate interests  colluding to maintain their existing power structures. They actively work to keep us from even communicating about standing up against the countless injustices our world has to offer, and at the same time, continue to promote corporate cheerleading for state sanctioned violence at the hands of the polcie. We stand in solidarity with all those silenced by Facebook, and our resolve is only hardened by this act as we press forward with our struggle for a better world.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Black Powder Press</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“Banning antifascists, anarchists and other related dreamers and resisters of fascism and totalitarianism on facebook leads us to only one conclusion – a side is being taken, and it is not the one of freedom and antifascism. Silencing dissent of totalitarians and movements against racists and xenophobes is a slippery slope to siding with those same people and movements. We are living in a moment when sides need to be taken, a time period we have seen before, and siding with the silencing of antifascists and anarchists is to side with totalitarianism and potential fascism.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Marina Sitrin, Associate Professor at Binghamton University and author of Everyday Revolutions: Horizontalism and Autonomy in Argentina.</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“With this wave of bans, facebook has attempted to claim that they are neutral, or centrist in their approach to censoring political speech. What they have actually done is controlled the dialog, towards their own political aims, towards a conservative and capitalist worldview. Under the guise of neutrality they have made it so that anyone wishing to exist in their online space must not oppose fascism and far right violence in any meaningful way. They have thrown the weight of their platform behind the very notion that resisting genocide is violent in nature. What is considered acceptable political dialog in society generally creeps to the right over time. It is not often that we see such a blatant action taken to push the dialog in that direction. These are moments that we cannot allow to pass by silently. Fascism has brought about the most horrific acts of violence the world has ever seen. Opposing fascism is non violence by definition.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Portland Anarchist Road Care</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“At a time when elites in media and academia fret about ‘cancel culture’ and object to principled criticism, facebook is showing the world that the real ‘cancel culture” is corporate control of media platforms. Self defense is not violence. Anarchists are trying defend against us all against fascist violence and the nightmare future it portends. Facebook and other corporate media platforms are complicit in the violence of the fascists that they platform. We shouldn’t let liberals and others vested in the status quo muddle the issue by normalizing false equivlency between fascists and the anarchists and anti-authoritarians resisting them. Down with fascism! Stand with all anti-fascists!”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Brendan McQuade, Assistant Professor at the University of Southern Maine and author of Pacifying the Homeland: Intelligence Fusion and Mass Supervision</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“That the U.S. government is working overtime to suppress dissenting voices is nothing new, nor is its dangerous revulsion for anarchists specifically, but each time they attack our community and ideology, more damage is done to the broader struggle against fascism, and for liberation. Facebook’s decision to ban a number of anarchist, antifascist, and anti-capitalist pages has made clear both their bias against the left, and their commitment to furthering the same “both sides” rhetoric that Trump and his lapdogs have used to deflect from their own firm support for violent white supremacist groups. The fact that this ban specifically targeted vital movement publications like It’s Going Down and Crimethinc only underlines the fact that the so-called free press is under attack, and yet the mealy-mouthed centrists and liberals who spend their time hand-wringing over “cancel culture” have said nothing. Those outside of the anarchist and antifascist community ignore this at their peril, because as we know full well, first, they’ll come for the radicals–but they’ll be coming for everyone else next.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Kim Kelly, journalist, author, and A12 Charlottesville attack survivor</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“It has been three years but Facebook has never taken responsibility for the deadly Unite the Right event being planned and propagandized on their platform. It is nothing short of shameful for Facebook to now sit in judgment of the same groups and people who stood up against white supremacist violence that day.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Megan Squire, Professor of Computer Science at Elon University, Sr. Fellow at Center for Analysis of the Radical Right</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“Facebook’s recent decision to ban radical leftist and antifascist groups that call for fighting back against the forces of fascism, genocide, and those that would wipe out our communities, while allowing, and even glorifying state-affiliated and sponsored groups that call for violence as well as right-wing militias is yet another example of tech companies finding it easier to punch down. Facebook’s decision reinforces the dangerous and false rhetoric emanating from right-wing media and politicians that seeks to demonize left-liberation movements at a time when they are being actively targeted and hunted by those in positions of authority. While hardly surprising, this decision by Facebook once again shows a willingness to put profits and access to politicians above scruples or access to diverse viewpoints.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—B. Remy Cross</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“Facebook’s decision to ban anti-fascist and anarchist pages at the same time they ban violent Militia’s and QAnon pages is unfortunately unsurprising and all too familiar. This is done as a visual sacrifice in the name of misguided attempts  at centrism and being ‘fair.’</p>\n\n  <p>“Anti-fascist and anarchist resources on the internet seek to create community defense against bigoted violence and share information about how communities can take care of problems that governments don’t prioritize as important to address. The problem with this decision is that the very real problems created by violent racist militias and absurd conspiracy theories are actively opposed in cities all around the work by anti-fascists and anarchists. This decision does not help communities become safer, in fact it makes them even more vulnerable. This decision shows Facebook’s lack of a spine and lack of a moral compass. I am proud to stand in solidarity with Anarchist Publishers to condemn this ban; but I am furious that I need to do so.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—Jake Johnson, artist, writer, reporter</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“The ban of Crimethinc and other anarchist groups by Facebook is a clear step farther into a fascist American state. The Earth First! Journal stands in firm solidarity with all anarchist groups currently facing repression. Smash the state, for the wild!”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—<em>The Earth First! Journal</em></p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“Facebook’s ban has nothing to do with stopping violence and everything to do with cracking down on protest movements. The banning of CrimethInc., It’s Going Down, Truthout author Chris Steele, musician MC Sole, and other left media outlets and journalists in the name of opposing violence is disingenuous. Facebook continues to host and profit off of right-wing media outlets like Daily Wire that regularly promote violent racist ideology and conspiracy theories that have catalyzed and influenced violent fascists and white supremacists on the right. This is political censorship, plain and simple.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>—scott crow, longtime anarchist organizer and author of Black Flags and Windmills</p>\n\n<figure class=\"video-container \">\n  <iframe credentialless=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin\" allow=\"accelerometer 'none'; ambient-light-sensor 'none'; autoplay 'none'; battery 'none'; bluetooth 'none'; browsing-topics 'none'; camera 'none'; ch-ua 'none'; display-capture 'none'; domain-agent 'none'; document-domain 'none'; encrypted-media 'none'; execution-while-not-rendered 'none'; execution-while-out-of-viewport 'none'; gamepad 'none'; geolocation 'none'; gyroscope 'none'; hid 'none'; identity-credentials-get 'none'; idle-detection 'none'; keyboard-map 'none'; local-fonts 'none'; magnetometer 'none'; microphone 'none'; midi 'none'; navigation-override 'none'; otp-credentials 'none'; payment 'none'; picture-in-picture 'none'; publickey-credentials-create 'none'; publickey-credentials-get 'none'; screen-wake-lock 'none'; serial 'none'; speaker-selection 'none'; sync-xhr 'none'; usb 'none'; web-share 'none'; window-management 'none'; xr-spatial-tracking 'none'\" csp=\"sandbox allow-scripts allow-same-origin;\" src=\"https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/0pbaT7yeLKI\" frameborder=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\"></iframe>\n</figure>\n\n"

Last week, aspiring autocrat Donald Trump escalated the situation by announcing that he would be <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2020/07/17/solidarity-with-the-people-in-the-streets-of-portland-against-the-federal-occupation-and-the-police\">sending federal agents</a> around the country to assert his authority through acts of violence against protesters.

On May Day, in each workplace, neighborhood, and home, we join that strike, determining what parts of our lives are indispensable and how we can best meet our needs. From that day on, only the activities that we consider essential will continue.</p>\n\n<p>The crisis created by the coronavirus has put the demands of financial markets directly in conflict with human survival. An ER nurse in New York City works without proper protective gear to pay rent. A nursing home therapist in Utah does the same for her mortgage. A bus driver in Seattle has used all his sick time surviving the virus. An immunocompromised cook at a Midwestern soup kitchen waits at home, using up the last days of his paid time off. For some, a stimulus payment and temporary unemployment will cover a portion of the debt they accrue. But the risk is the same with or without a check.</p>\n\n<p class=\"steelblue\"><strong>We are faced with a choice: the economy or life.</strong></p>\n\n<p><strong>The market has only worsened the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Shutting it down has saved countless lives.</strong> Over twenty-two million people in the US are now jobless; for the majority who survive paycheck to paycheck, they are suddenly without means to live. Half a million people struggle to shelter in place without homes while empty hotels light their windows. Thousands of hungry people arrive at food banks before dawn while farmers destroy their own crops because they have no buyers. Prisoners in county jails and detention centers have no masks and only cold water to wash their hands. The rate of COVID-19 infection is faster in the federal prison population than in Italy. The number of coronavirus fatalities in the US has taken the global lead. If the economy re-opens, unemployment may do down, but the death toll will go up.</p>\n\n<p>The pandemic began the shutdown, but we will continue it—until we make a world that truly meets all of our needs.</p>\n\n<p>On May 1st, organize caravan demonstrations to show your love for the nurses, doctors, grocery store clerks, and all other essential workers risking their lives to provide people with the care they need. Hang white sheets out the car windows in solidarity with rent strikers who refuse to impoverish themselves for the sake of landlords or banks when they are out of work. Join social-distance and car pickets at Whole Foods, Amazon warehouses, and other work sites where employees and contractors are struggling to improve their conditions.</p>\n\n<p><strong>We make the economy. We can shut it down.</strong> We don’t need stay-at-home orders or the false liberty of re-opening the economy: we can decide, together, what is essential, and how to care for everyone.

This April, millions of people won’t be able to afford their bills regardless of whether they want to pay. Like the pandemic, this is the inevitable consequence of a system that wasn’t designed to keep us safe in the first place. The virus threatens our lives—but it also threatens the social order that was already making our lives impossible.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"video-container \">\n  <iframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/401973467?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"></iframe>\n</figure>\n\n<p>From our perspective, the most pressing thing is to defend those who do not pay against eviction and other negative consequences. If we fail to come together to defend each other, those who hold power will isolate, betray, and destroy us one after another. Reach out to your neighbors. Build defense groups. Identify local pressure points. Talk tactics. Be creative. Prepare to stop the evictions by any means necessary. The more people who participate, the safer all of us will be. Together, we can overwhelm the courts and sheriffs that enforce the special privileges of the rich.</p>\n\n<p>The beneficiaries of the prevailing order are mobilizing to impose the consequences of this crisis on us—one law for them, another for us.  Corporations like <a href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-24/u-s-retailers-plan-to-stop-paying-rent-to-offset-virus-closures\">Subway</a>, the <a href=\"https://la.eater.com/2020/3/25/21194144/cheesecake-factory-rent-strike-chain-restaurant\">Cheesecake Factory</a>, <a href=\"https://www.spiegel.de/consent-a-?targetUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spiegel.de%2Fwirtschaft%2Funternehmen%2Fcorona-krise-h-and-m-adidas-und-deichmann-wollen-keine-miete-mehr-zahlen-a-427b3103-7b71-4dba-a4af-c7628a7a0421\">Adidas</a>, and others have already declared that <em>they</em> won’t pay rent in April. There are provisions to protect middle-class people who can’t afford their mortgages, but none for the poorest people who must pay rent.</p>\n\n<p>Here, we present a poster and two texts about the rent strike: the first from participants in a group offering <a href=\"http://5demands.global/\">countrywide coordination</a> for the strike, the second from anarchists involved in rent strike organizing on the West Coast. To learn more about the rent strike and how to participate, start <a href=\"https://5demands.global/toolkit/\">here</a>.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<figure class=\"portrait-shadow\">\n<a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/posters/immunity-for-all\"> <img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/posters/immunity-for-all/immunity-for-all_front_black_and_white.jpg\" /> </a>   <figcaption>\n    <p>Immunity for all: a poster supporting the rent strike.

Others rent boxes of wood and drywall, in which the feeling of home is interrupted by monthly reminders that we are only paying to linger on someone else’s property; the following month’s rent starts looming as soon as the impact of this month’s payment wears off. In a grander sense, all the living things on this planet share the feeling of losing our home as industrial capitalism progressively renders it uninhabitable. A billion dead animals strewn across Australia as smoke blots out the sky overhead—pools of black oil floating on water—an island of plastic in the ocean: these catastrophic scenes of increasing frequency and magnitude imply that soon the earth may not be able to offer us a home anywhere.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2020/03/26/1.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic is one of these catastrophes. Yet it has driven home to us the importance of <em>home.</em> Repeatedly washing our hands and continuously suppressing the impulse to touch our faces returns our attention to our bodies. Wiping down surfaces and doorhandles reminds us of all the ways our physical presence inescapably overlaps with the presence of others. Our failure to contain the proliferation of an infinitesimal piece of information—30 kilobases of RNA within a viral envelope—underscores the fact that genetic matter has always been a kind of commons. Our bodies are echoes of a shared ancestry; they ground us on the earth.</p>\n\n<p>This is the foundation on which we must build a new sense of home. Ideally, the home should be a structure that supports life, a place of comfort and privacy, a place where we don’t have to work. Our homes should offer us immunity from the countless forces acting upon us. In the face of a pandemic, when we “shelter in place” so as not to spread the virus, the greatest threats to our immunity are the forces that seek to rob us of our homes. With unemployment anticipated at a staggering 20% due to the pandemic, we must confront the property relations that subject our homes to the pressures of leases and mortgages.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2020/03/26/2.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<p>Our first line of defense is immunity from the landlords and developers who expect a full return on their investment even as the economy collapses. We need immunity from the bill collectors, from the courts issuing eviction orders, from the police carrying them out. We need immunity for the patients issued $40,000 bills for emergency medical care to treat COVID-19. We need immunity for prisoners, immigrants, and asylum seekers all over the world who are condemned to sickness and likely death while they are trapped in cages that will never be homes. We need <strong>immunity for all.</strong></p>\n\n<p>This April, countless people will refuse to pay rent and, with this single gesture, give new meaning to “<a href=\"https://www.technologyreview.com/s/615375/what-is-herd-immunity-and-can-it-stop-the-coronavirus/\">herd immunity</a>.” Viruses have always played an evolutionary role as vectors of information transfer across species and kingdoms; they are masters at synchronizing ecologies. What is possible if we synchronize our actions into a collective refusal? <strong>Let us commit together to defend this place we call home.</strong></p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2020/03/26/3.jpg\" />\n</figure>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"invitation-to-a-strike\"><a href=\"#invitation-to-a-strike\"></a>Invitation to a Strike</h1>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it.”</p>\n\n  <p>-Ursula K. LeGuin</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“I’d prefer not to.”</p>\n\n  <p>-Bartleby</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>“The tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the ‘emergency situation’ in which we live is the rule. We must arrive at a concept of history which corresponds to this. Then it will become clear that the task before us is the introduction of a real state of emergency; and our position in the struggle against fascism will thereby improve.”</p>\n\n  <p>-Walter Benjamin</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>We are not paying rent on April 1. We cannot afford to. We already barely could. Rent: our monthly contribution to the fallacy that the homes we inhabit on stolen land are owned by our landlords, to whom we are indebted simply for being alive. Now, when our very existence as a species is in question, we cannot endure the nightmare of that relationship.</p>\n\n<p>Over the past decade, insurrections that toppled regimes have been defeated by the global gentrification of the cities. Rebels in cities around the world have bowed to the increasing cost of living and the soul-draining attrition of work. Our lives have become unending hustles. They’re pumping a trillion dollars a day into the banks to keep them afloat. Daily applications for unemployment throughout the so-called United States are already surpassing those at the peak of the financial crisis that preceded the occupation movements. In California, the association of apartment owners sent a letter to its constituents advising landlords to freeze rents, work with tenants to establish payment plans, and suspend evictions. Yet city governments are offering only paltry protections for renters. Capitalists have announced their willingness to sacrifice us en masse on the altar of the economy. They want us back to work already.</p>\n\n<p>Our enemies are afraid. They know a storm is coming. Something has to give.</p>\n\n<p>On April 1, an unprecedented wave of us will simply not pay our rent. Some will do this in solidarity. Some will do this as their only option. Some will do this as an entire building or as an entire block. Some will go it alone. This strike does not belong to activists, organizers, or militants. It belongs to all of us, to everyone who simply cannot or will not bear the burden of this crisis. It belongs to everyone who won’t pay, who won’t take on more debt, to all who will affirm each other in saying “no.” To all who love and protect each other.</p>\n\n<p>We have already been on strike.</p>\n\n<p>Some of us have gone on strike in prisons, in lecture halls, in the streets and at the ports. Now we are striking from our homes. The same way we went on strike after the pandemic of 1918, just as we went on strike after the bubonic plague. After those disasters, they couldn’t keep us at work, they couldn’t stop our free movement, and we discovered the formulas which allowed us to expropriate from the rich the wealth they hoarded even in death—that equalizing force. Infinite new possibilities for life have suddenly become thinkable for countless people who are only just now imagining a life outside the economy. There has never been so pressing a need for our imagination, our energetic attention.</p>\n\n<p>The same progressive politicians who defanged the word <em>abolition</em> are already trying to appropriate the language of mutual aid. They know the state cannot save us. If mutual aid is in fact a factor in evolution, then the ways that it has spread far and wide are already transforming us. When this is over, the authorities will tell us that we only survived because of their control; liberals are already applauding the new authoritarianism in the name of the common good. Yet we know that what really keeps us alive is our care for each other.</p>\n\n<p>The virus threatens our lives, but it also threatens the social order that was making them impossible. Rent, work, fares, debt, insurance—all the scams we were born into as marks—let the virus freeze them. We’ll drink fire and tend our hearths to wait out the cold.</p>\n\n<p>And spring is upon us. With April Fool’s Day, spring arrives in earnest: a renewal, a jubilee, a suspension, a reversal, a cosmic joke—but not on us. The fool’s journey opens the way to the world. The inevitable non-payment of countless debts will be our first blow against the world of measure and control. This is the easiest thing we can do. In the face of disease, begin with <em>ease,</em> grace, rest.</p>\n\n<p>If work itself is killing us, the strike cannot be more work. April 1 is not a day of action. On that day, sleep in, call your friends, kiss your love, read, meditate, drink water, and <em>get ready.</em> That day is a small key which opens a large door. The managers of the coastal cities are already beta-testing the new normal, but the cards are still being dealt. The crisis isn’t over until <em>we</em> decide it is. Now, when everything is at stake, our collective refusal to play their game is our greatest weapon.</p>\n\n<p>The old world will not give us <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/posters/five-actions\">all we require</a>. How could it? Health, rest, a world without debt or prisons, home—we who step through this door will have to find these things for ourselves. We must understand the strike in the broadest possible terms.</p>\n\n<p>We are not afraid of ruins. Today, when our futures have been cancelled, this time together may be all we have. We won’t be returning to normal. We will be the ones to shape what comes next. Set down your burden. You need not face this alone. We are striking out. With so much distance between us, it’s time to activate everything that connects.</p>\n\n<p>Islands in the stream<br />\nThat is what we are<br />\nNo one in between<br />\nHow can we be wrong<br />\nSail away with me<br />\nTo another world<br />\nAnd we rely on each other,<br />\nah ha</p>\n\n<p>Don’t pay. We won’t either. They can’t evict us all. We’ll give them hell if they try.</p>\n\n<p>We know how to survive a plague.</p>\n\n<p><em>La salute è in voi!</em> — Health is in you!</p>\n\n"

      "content_html": "<p>In Russia, the Russian Federal Security Service—the FSB, which is descended from the KGB—has set a new precedent for extracting false confessions from arrestees by means of torture, threats, and blatantly planted evidence. This week, a Russian court found seven defendants guilty of terrorist conspiracy on the basis of evidence derived from these methods; they have been sentenced to up to 18 years in prison apiece. <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2018/04/12/the-tarnac-verdicts-unraveling-the-logic-of-anti-terrorism-after-ten-years-the-tarnac-affair-concludes-in-france\">For years</a>, governments all over the world have unsuccessfully attempted to make fabricated conspiracy charges stick. Now, utilizing this new model based in flagrant brutality and dishonesty, the Russian government has succeeded in setting a new precedent. Police exchange tactics and strategies on a global basis. As the world slides faster towards tyranny, we can be sure that we will see these tactics of repression spread outside Russia if we don’t mobilize effectively against them now.</p>\n\n<p>Consequently, in concert with the <a href=\"https://rupression.com/en/2020/02/15/solidarity-with-anarchist-prisoners-in-russia/\">Russian solidarity organization</a> supporting these prisoners, <strong>we are calling for a week of solidarity actions February 22-29.</strong></p>\n\n<p>For more background on the case and the pattern of trumped up conspiracy cases throughout Europe and the US, read our earlier analysis, “<a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2018/03/26/why-the-torture-cases-in-russia-matter-how-the-tactics-that-the-russian-state-uses-against-anarchists-could-spread\">Why the Torture Cases in Russia Matter</a>.”</p>\n\n<h1 id=\"call-for-solidarity-actions---february-22-29\"><a href=\"#call-for-solidarity-actions---february-22-29\"></a>Call for Solidarity Actions—February 22-29</h1>\n\n<p>We must not forget the anarchists and anti-fascists suffering repression in Russia! We are calling for people to take action of all forms to express support for these prisoners, to protest the prison system, and to spread information about the use of torture as an instrument of repression in Russia.</p>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2020/02/15/1.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>“FSB is a terrorist” by <a href=\"https://www.rakelstammer.com/\">Rakel Stammer</a>.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<p>On February 10, in Penza, a town 630 kilometers from Moscow, the court passed sentence on seven people accused of organizing the so-called “anarchist terrorist community ‘Network.’” The entire case is based on confessions the defendants were forced to agree to via intense torture as well as weapons planted by police and an extremely tenuous accusation that they were “planning to plan terrorist actions to overthrow the government of Russia.” Considering that we are talking about a “crime” without victims that involved no action and no plan, the sentences decreed by the court are shockingly draconian. Dmitry Pchelintsev and Ilya Shakursky, the supposed organizers of this fabricated “Network,” were sentenced to 18 years and 16 years in prison, respectively. The others have been sentenced as follows: Arman Sagynbaev 6 years, Andrei Chernov 14 years, Vasily Kuksov 9 years, Mikhail Kulkov 10 years, and Maxim Ivankin 13 years of imprisonment.</p>\n\n<p>Scientists, journalists, human rights defenders, and other groups in Russia have <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/10/russian-anti-fascist-group-network-jail\">protested</a> and demanded that the sentence be repealed.</p>\n\n<p>International solidarity is especially important at this moment because the “Network case” is not over. In St. Petersburg, two more people, Viktor Filinkov and Julian Boyarshinov, await trial on related charges. The next court hearings are planned for February 25-28. <strong>This is why we ask that solidarity actions take place the last week of February.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Many other anarchists and anti-fascists in Russia are experiencing repression and torture, including Azat Miftahov, Ilia Romanov, Egor Lesnyh, Evgeny Karakashev, and Kirill Kuzminkin. They too deserve our attention and support.</p>\n\n<p>If there is a Russian consulate or embassy in your city, consider organizing an action in front of it! Failing that, you could consider what other appropriate venues or targets are available, or simply paint a beautiful banner and hold a public gathering to inform people of the situation.</p>\n\n<p>Email action reports to <a href=\"mailto:rupression@protonmail.com\">rupression@protonmail.com</a> or via Telegram to @RUPRESSION_bot or Rupression social networks.</p>\n\n<p>We will inform the prisoners about any actions that take place.</p>\n\n<p>For more information about the Network case, details of financial support and prisoners addresses: <a href=\"https://rupression.com/\">rupression.com</a></p>\n\n<p><strong>YOUR TORTURE WILL NOT KILL OUR IDEAS!</strong></p>\n\n<p>This call is also available in <a href=\"https://rupression.com/2020/02/15/solidarnost-s-zakljuchennymi-anarhistami-v-rossii/\">Русский</a> (Russian).</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"further-reading\"><a href=\"#further-reading\"></a>Further Reading</h1>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2018/08/28/taking-a-global-view-of-repression-the-prison-strike-and-the-week-of-solidarity-with-anarchist-prisoners\">Taking a Global View of Repression</a></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2018/03/26/why-the-torture-cases-in-russia-matter-how-the-tactics-that-the-russian-state-uses-against-anarchists-could-spread\">Why the Torture Cases in Russia Matter</a></p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2019/02/03/another-wave-of-arrests-and-torture-against-russian-anarchists\">Another Wave of Arrests and Torture against Russian Anarchists</a></p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<figure class=\"portrait-shadow\">\n<a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/posters/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia_front_color.pdf\"> <img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2018/03/26/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia-poster-1.jpg\" /> </a>   <figcaption>\n    <p><a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/posters/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia_front_color.pdf\">Click the image above</a> for downloadable PDF.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait-shadow\">\n<a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/posters/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia_front_black_and_white.pdf\"> <img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2018/03/26/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia-poster-2.jpg\" /> </a>   <figcaption>\n    <p><a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/posters/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia_front_black_and_white.pdf\">Click the image above</a> for downloadable PDF.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<figure class=\"portrait-shadow\">\n<a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/posters/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia_back_black_and_white.pdf\"> <img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2018/03/26/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia-poster-3.jpg\" /> </a>   <figcaption>\n    <p><a href=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/posters/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia/solidarity-with-the-tortured-anarchists-and-anti-fascists-in-russia_front_black_and_white.pdf\">Click the image above</a> for downloadable PDF.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2018/03/26/6.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>A <a href=\"https://medium.com/@aleksandrov_y/toronto-a-solidarity-action-was-held-on-february-10-to-support-russian-anarchists-tortured-by-fsb-fae6b3a525a4\">solidarity action in Toronto</a>.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n"

      "content_html": "<p><strong>For seven years, we have produced <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/podcasts\">a widely acclaimed podcast</a>; now, covering the uprising in Chile, we are preparing to make our first documentary film. But we need your help to acquire the supplies we need.</strong></p>\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2019/10/24/on-the-front-lines-in-chile-accounts-from-the-uprising\">full-scale uprising</a> is unfolding in Chile. Starting in October, people of all walks of life have come together to block austerity measures, fight police repression, and defy a military occupation. Sparked in part by <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2019/10/14/the-uprising-in-ecuador-inside-the-quito-commune-an-interview-from-on-the-front-lines\">a revolt in Ecuador</a>, the uprising in Chile represents the crest of a global wave of revolts from Haiti, Puerto Rico, <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2019/09/20/three-months-of-insurrection-an-anarchist-collective-in-hong-kong-appraises-the-achievements-and-limits-of-the-revolt\">Hong Kong</a>, and Sudan to Honduras, <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2019/10/23/the-fight-in-catalunya-independence-or-self-determination-how-the-lines-are-drawn-an-account-from-the-front-lines\">Catalunya</a>, and <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2019/11/13/lebanon-a-revolution-against-sectarianism-chronicling-the-first-month-of-the-uprising\">Lebanon</a>.</p>\n\n<p>All around the world, neoliberalism is in crisis. Far-right nationalists have cashed in on this crisis to push through the Brexit and win elections from <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2018/05/10/italy-we-partisans-resisting-the-wave-of-fascism-spring-2018\">Italy</a> to <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2018/12/27/all-out-against-bolsonaro-an-appeal-from-brazil\">Brazil</a>; with his rhetoric about so-called “globalism,” Trump aims to present his own brand of xenophobic capitalism as the only alternative. In Chile, however, people have responded to the crisis of neoliberalism with a popular anti-capitalist movement with a predominantly anti-authoritarian character. In a time when reactionaries have been passing themselves off as rebels while many activists have despaired of changing the world for the better, <strong>the Chilean uprising offers a much-needed dose of inspiration and a promising model for future movements worldwide.</strong></p>\n\n<p>We have been on the ground in Chile since <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/2019/10/19/evade-and-struggle-riots-break-out-against-austerity-in-chile-a-report-from-the-streets-of-santiago\">day one</a>, publishing a series of <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/podcasts/the-ex-worker/episodes/70\">bilingual</a> <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/podcasts/the-ex-worker/episodes/71\">podcast</a> <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/podcasts/the-ex-worker/episodes/72\">episodes</a> detailing each stage of the uprising and interviewing a wide range of participants. Yet audio recordings alone cannot do justice to the global implications of what is happening in Chile. After seven years producing the <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/podcasts/the-ex-worker\">Ex-Worker</a> and <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/podcasts/the-hotwire\">Hotwire</a> podcasts, we want to shoot our first documentary film.</p>\n\n<p><strong>But we need your help.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Expanding from podcast to video won’t be easy. We are asking for supporters to help us acquire the equipment we need to shoot a feature-length documentary. A list of the resources we need appears at the end of this text. We can get donations here from South America, North America, and Europe. If you can contribute any of the items that we need directly or help us purchase new equipment, please reach out to us at <a href=\"mailto:podcast@crimethinc.com\">podcast@crimethinc.com</a>.</p>\n\n<p>We’ve decided not to start a kickstarter or gofundme for this project; it wouldn’t feel right while so many comrades in Chile need money for medical and legal expenses as a consequence of their courageous contributions to the movement. One form of movement infrastructure that is severely lacking in Chile is a legal, public way to raise money from outside of the country. If you know any lawyers or NGO accountants with knowledge of Chilean law and banking, please put them <a href=\"mailto:podcast@crimethinc.com\">in touch</a> with us.</p>\n\n<p>We’ve been covering anarchism in Chile for years now; we have a network of trusted comrades here and we are well-informed and willing to do whatever it takes to bring you important lessons and inspiring stories. We just need the equipment and technical means. <strong>With your help, we can produce complete versions of the film in both English and Spanish and make them freely available to all.</strong></p>\n\n<p>We have to move quickly now if we are to be ready to begin filming when the students who started the uprising last October go back to school at the end of February. The date for the constitutional plebiscite is set for April 26,\njust days before May Day. The plebiscite is the biggest concession won through street protest so far; it will decide whether Chile’s dictatorship-era constitution will be replaced by a new one. What happens next will illuminate the prospects and pitfalls facing social movements around the world in the 21st century.</p>\n\n<p>We want to make a film that will spread the inspiration that the Chilean uprising has awoken in us—so that the crisis of neoliberalism will cease to serve the Trumps and Bolsonaros and Putins of the world and become an opportunity to start building a world without capitalism, without the state, without patriarchy—a world that isn’t ordered by authority and competition but by freedom and cooperation.</p>\n\n<p>The conflicts that have come to a head in Chile today will erupt everywhere soon. This is a rare moment in which we can prepare for the upheavals that are looming ahead on the horizon. We are uniquely positioned to bring the most important lessons and inspiring moments from Chile to audiences and movements around the world. Please help us.</p>\n\n<h1 id=\"what-we-need\"><a href=\"#what-we-need\"></a>What We Need</h1>\n\n<ul>\n  <li>A Panasonic Lumix g95 camera or any other camera that shoots in 4K\nwith a decent stability and a good auto-focus</li>\n  <li>A GoPro with a waterproof case</li>\n  <li>A powerful laptop or desktop Mac with plenty of RAM for video processing</li>\n  <li>SD cards</li>\n  <li>External hard drives</li>\n  <li>Cloud storage</li>\n  <li>Batteries</li>\n  <li>Zoom lenses</li>\n  <li>Lens cleaner</li>\n  <li>A lens protection filter</li>\n  <li>A full-face 3M gas mask with extra cartridges</li>\n  <li>A monopod and/or shoulderpod</li>\n  <li>A digital recorder and decent boom microphone</li>\n  <li>A lavalier microphone and receiver—or two</li>\n  <li>A high DPI scanner</li>\n  <li>Motion graphics and subtitling volunteers</li>\n  <li>Any kind of hookup or discount on international airplane tickets</li>\n  <li>And, possibly, soundtrack music</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Contact us: <a href=\"mailto:podcast@crimethinc.com\">podcast@crimethinc.com</a></p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<figure class=\"\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.crimethinc.com/assets/articles/2020/01/09/1.jpg\" />   <figcaption>\n    <p>Fuck Netflix, watch <a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/videos\">crimethinc.com/videos</a>.</p>\n  </figcaption>\n</figure>\n\n"

From the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to Occupy Wall Street and the autonomous region of Rojava, practically every government and popular movement calls itself democratic. Today, the far right has also appropriated the rhetoric of direct democracy, as a wave of populism has swept demagogues like Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro into power.</p>\n\n<p>What is democracy, precisely? How does the rhetoric of democracy serve various agendas? Is there a difference between democracy and self-determination? Are there other ways to describe what we are doing together when we make decisions? And how can this inform our participation in struggles against capitalism and state oppression?</p>\n\n<p>Drawing on <em><a href=\"https://crimethinc.com/books/from-democracy-to-freedom\">From Democracy to Freedom</a>,</em> the latest book from the CrimethInc. collective, we will explore these questions and more. Join us for a lively discussion!</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"the-new-upheavals-strategizing-for-an-era-of-nonbinary-conflict\"><a href=\"#the-new-upheavals-strategizing-for-an-era-of-nonbinary-conflict\"></a>The New Upheavals: Strategizing for an Era of Nonbinary Conflict</h1>\n\n<p><em>Portland, Oregon on December 4; Humboldt Anarchist Book Fair, California on December 14</em></p>\n\n<p>Once upon a time, anarchists saw ourselves as engaged in a two-sided struggle between the common people and the institutions of power. Today, as the future of neoliberalism becomes uncertain and uprisings break out from France to Hong Kong, we are increasingly finding ourselves in three-way fights that pit us against both the reigning authorities and far-right nationalists driven by their own vision of civil war.</p>\n\n<p>How do we strategize for conflicts that involve three or more sides, so that one adversary does not benefit from our victories against another side? This has been a problem for anarchists at least since the Russian Revolution.</p>\n\n<p>In this presentation, we will introduce the concept of non-binary conflict, consider case studies of contemporary three-sided conflicts around the world, and discuss how this can inform our struggles against fascists, the Trump administration, and the centrists of the Democratic Party.</p>\n\n<hr />\n\n<h1 id=\"catching-the-wave-a-panel-discussion-reflecting-on-history-in-progress\"><a href=\"#catching-the-wave-a-panel-discussion-reflecting-on-history-in-progress\"></a>Catching the Wave: A Panel Discussion Reflecting on History in Progress</h1>\n\n<p><em>Tamarack, Oakland, December 7</em></p>\n\n<p>Throughout its first three-quarters, 2019 has been a moment of gathering momentum for emancipatory movements around the world, even as populist, nativist, revanchist, and fascist  projects likewise swell around the world. Following on the heights of the <em>gilets jaunes</em> experiment last fall and winter, populations in revolt topped leaders in Sudan and Puerto Rico. Haiti teetered on civil war. Hong Kong began its descent into open insurrection, and now, in a feedback loop, popular revolt spills across Ecuador, Chile, and Bolivia, across Iraq, Iran, and Lebanon, while Hong Kong continues to burn and conflicts in the multi-power war zones of Palestine and Syria intensify.</p>\n\n<p>What are the possibilities for this wave to strengthen and amplify or, alternately, to be annulled by an entirely different dynamic, inimical to emancipation? Can we identify a consistency to or internal character of these revolts, distinct from those of the last global wave circa 2011? How do we understand the anti-political character of these revolts, their refusal of the typical insignia of left and right—and what dangers and potentials does this raise? What role might a global recession, long overdue, play in the unfolding of these events? What local variants might eventually emerge in the US—and how should we be preparing?</p>\n\n"
