Ex-Worker #18 - What Anarchism Isn’t, Pt 1: Libertarianism and Anarcho-Capitalism https://kolektiva.media/videos/watch/9c92dbd1-957b-4cc4-b8e6-48b7c9ea1a0c

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

Jean-Paul Sartre, Anti-Semite and Jew, 1946.

We won't succeed in fighting the latest wave of anti-Semitism by expressing outrage or surprise at its spokespersons. We have to prepare to directly counter the violence that they are inciting before everyone's eyes.

May all beings awake from the gloom of delusion.

Twenty-three years ago today, anarchists and other protesters successfully blockaded and shut down the summit of the World Trade Organization in Seattle. This was the dramatic debut of what journalists dubbed the “anti-globalization movement”—in fact, a global movement against the globalization of neoliberal capitalism.

In this analysis, we review the root structures and daily activities that enabled people to pose a threat to capitalist trade organizations:

As unrest spreads in China today, it's a good time to revisit the uprising that took place in Hong Kong in 2019.

In this interview, anarchists in Hong Kong analyze the months-long revolt, reviewing its achievements, identifying its limits, celebrating the inspiring moments of mutual aid and defiance, and critiquing the ways that it failed to pass beyond a framework based in appealing to authority.

Right now, on Elon Musk's Twitter, the far-right troll who convinced him to block us is comparing us to ISIS, while Musk is still pretending to be a proponent of "free speech."

The comparison to ISIS is especially absurd, because some of our comrades died fighting ISIS while that particular troll's followers were murdering civilians in the US.

Likewise, Musk is not in favor of "free speech." He is banning accounts like ours at the same time that he reintroduces fascists to Twitter.

On November 25, at the urging of a far-right troll, Elon Musk banned the @CrimethInc Twitter account.

Musk’s goal in acquiring Twitter had nothing to do with “free speech”—it was a partisan move to silence opposition, paving the way for fascist violence.
