"This is an attempt by the Russian authoritarian government to solve its internal problems through a small victorious war and land seizures. Even if this conflict does not escalate into a world war, Putin’s imperial fantasies are not worth a single life."

Против аннексий и имперской агрессии Мы против этой аннексии, потому что она лишь устанавливает новые границы, причем решение об этом принимает единолично авторитарный лидер - Владимир Путин. Это акт империалистической агрессии со стороны России. avtonom.org/news/protiv-an

"We do not want to stand up for any states. We are anarchists and we are against any borders between nations. But we are against this annexation, because it only establishes new borders, and the decision on this is made solely by the authoritarian leader—Vladimir Putin."

Although Portland police have attempted to characterize the mass shooter who attacked demonstrators on Saturday as a non-political homeowner, he was a known fascist. Andy Ngo and others who have promoted violence towards "antifa" are absolutely culpable in this tragedy.

George Washington and John Adams represented a centuries-old ruling class—Washington for Southern planters, Adams for Northern merchants and lawmen—the most powerful factions of colonies built at the expense of the indigenous, enslaved, and indentured. aboulder.com/rde
Portraits of George Washington and John Adams.
A settler depiction of the siege of Brookfield, August 2 to 4, 1675, during which Nipmuc warriors attacked colonial soldiers who retreated inside a fortified settlement. Although this illustration was produced long after the fact by settlers seeking to justify colonial violence, today we can see them as depicting an understandable response to Native genocide.
"The Liberty of the Subject," an illustration by James Gillray, 1779. In this cartoon, a group of British women try to fight off a press gang. Their victim, a hapless tailor with tape and scissors in his waistcoat pocket, is shuffled away while the gang trades blows with the women. There are several sailors in the gang, but we only get a good view of the two dragging away the sailor.

If the Kronstadt rebels were alive today, they would be fighting beside us against the rapacious capitalism and virulent nationalism of Madison Cawthorn and his cronies. Cawthorn represents tyranny and oppression. His willful dishonesty rivals the worst excesses of Stalinism.
While both anarchists and apologists for Lenin and Stalin often portray the Kronstadt uprising as a conflict between anarchists and party communists, this is a misunderstanding that has arisen as a result of subsequent conflicts. Rather, the Kronstadt uprising represented the final rupture between the autocratic dictatorship of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and every other communist and socialist current in the country, as well as anarchists and other elements of the working class—especially those to the left of the Bolsheviks, as the Bolsheviks had adopted many right-wing policies by that time. Essentially, the conflict among Russian anti-capitalist revolutionaries was about whether power should be vested in a one-party dictatorship, in representative electoral politics, or in horizontally organized workers’ councils [soviets].

"The police are not a solution to the problem of outsiders disrupting our communities—they are another manifestation of it. If the occupation has gone on so long because of the complicity of the police, this is not an aberration from what the police are 'supposed' to do."
If the counter-demonstrations do gain momentum, we must emphasize that the police are not a solution to the problem of outsiders disrupting our communities—they are another manifestation of it. If the occupation has gone on so long because of the complicity of the police, this is not an aberration from what the police are “supposed” to do—it is consistent with the way police always behave. In the United States, police officers participated in the storming of the Capitol on January 6, too, but afterwards the Democrats were still able to use the whole debacle to rehabilitate their image. We should not leave them any space to do the same here.

"The events in Ottawa and at various points along the US-Canada border are setting the stage for a liberal, pro-police, pro-civility backlash that will hit us as well. After the Canadian government regains control, it may become more difficult for other social movements to act."
This is creating a liberal backlash. The events in Ottawa and at various points along the US-Canada border are setting the stage for a liberal, pro-police, pro-civility backlash that will hit us as well. At some point, the occupation will come to an end. That may come after bloodshed, or the loss of access to funds, or targeted arrests, or the actions of people in Ottawa themselves who are sick and tired of “the Flu Trucks Klan” encamping in their city. But after that happens, it may be more difficult for us to act, as well.

"If there is a contradiction inside the protests in #Ottawa, it is that the right wing embraces borders, police, and state power, but this is ostensibly a protest against the border, the police, and the power of the state under its current management." cwc.im/Ottawa2022
This could be a good time to mobilize against the border itself. If there is a contradiction inside the protests centered in Ottawa, it is that right-wing people love borders, police, and state power, but this is ostensibly a protest against the border, the police, and the power of the state under its current management. This could be a fault line along which we might force a rupture between the people who are there out of an ignorant desire to rebel and those who are there out of a cynical desire to advance a fascist, statist project. The fact that right-wing anti-mandate protesters consider vaccine passports “fascism” but also want to establish more border controls—to make it harder to get any kind of passport—should represent a vulnerability for them.

Anti-fascists in Zurich demonstrate the virtues of a tight formation as they pass through a police blockade intended to protect a Nazi mobilization. As fascists try to install themselves at the front of populist movements, it's important to be prepared to take the initiative.

This is Nikita Uvarov—arrested at age 14. The prosecutor is demanding that he serve 9 years in Russian prison. "If they give me a real term, I will serve it with a clear conscience and dignity." No child should have to face such things, certainly not on account of his politics.
