Better that the whole economy crashes and burns than that you risk your life or the lives of wage laborers to participate in today’s shopping frenzy.
And if lives depend on the same economy that endangers and exploits us, all the more reason for revolution.
#BlackFriday (sic)
On November 27, 1884—Thanksgiving Day—anarchists in the United States marched with the black flag for the first time, according to the anarchist paper The Alarm, in a demonstration protesting poverty and explicitly calling for the forcible abolition of property and wage labor. 🏴
In recognition of the Day of Mourning, to counter colonial mythology about early Thanksgivings, we present the story of Metacomet’s War—an ambitious effort to resist the colonial conquest of the so-called Americas.

After months of nonstop mobilizing against police, fascists, and the threat of a coup, this is a good time to revisit “After the Crest,” our analysis from 2013 about how to make the most of the waning phase of an uprising while caring for ourselves.
A sighting of our direct action guide Recipes for Disaster (https://cwc.im/Recipes) at a forest defense occupation in Flensburg, Germany. Since October 1, activists from Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, and Italy have built six treehouses and some platforms to preserve a stand of 140-year-old linden trees, living alongside the birds, bats, and other living things that will be killed or expelled if developers are permitted to destroy the forest to make way for yet more toxic profit-driven corporate construction.
Climate defense and ecological defense starts with direct action to protect the living environment around us, not with vague promises from political parties.
Defend the beauty of the world!

Graffiti on a bus in Chile: “Stop outlawing so much—I’m not able to keep up with disobeying everything you forbid.”
From Chile to the US, voting has served as a pressure valve for discontent—but joyous disobedience exceeds every attempt to contain it.
European governments have taken a hands-on approach to #COVID19 with a second wave of lockdowns. Yet unrest in Italy, Spain, and Slovenia shows that these measures are aimed at defending capitalism and expanding police control, not protecting human life.
“We can handle one 10,000-person protest, but ten 1000-person protests throughout the city will overwhelm us.”
-LAPD Chief Michel Moore
Decentralization was the key to the success of this summer’s protests. Don’t let anyone tell you our movements need centralized leadership.
To Nestor Makhno—born November 7, 1888
Comrade—
fight like hell, we entreat you.
If you don’t beat
the Whites and the Reds
you can’t imagine the horrors to come.
Betrayal, slaughter, exile,
another war
a Holocaust
and something else
starting from
the little village
of
Chernobyl.
