Russia and Ukraine: Grassroots Resistance to Putin’s Invasion

Russia and Ukraine: Grassroots Resistance to Putin’s Invasion

From CrimethInc.

In this hasty update, we review some of today’s efforts to resist the Russian invasion of Ukraine—from both Russians within the repressive conditions of Russian society and Ukrainians experiencing the full force of military attacks. There is a great deal more to be said about this subject than we can cover here. We will return to analysis shortly, but for now, we aim chiefly to put this information at your disposal rapidly. Those who require background may begin here for a Russian perspective or here for a Ukrainian perspective.

Repression and History

From It's Going Down

An Interview with Belarus Anarchist Black Cross

It is essential that our revolutionary solidarity extend beyond borders and transcend the artificial East/West divide. The Belarusian anarchist and anti-fascist milieu, with its dozens of political prisoners (and likely more unknown to local support efforts) is in dire need of international solidarity.

Anarchist Struggle in Rojava

Anarchist Struggle in Rojava

From The Final Straw Radio

Anarchist Struggle, or Tekoşîna Anarşist in Kurmanji, is an anarchist combat medic collective operating in Rojava since the time of the war against Daesh / Isis, though its roots go back further. For the hour, you’ll hear a voice actor sharing the words of a member of TA calling themselves Robin Goldman about the their experiences of Asymmetric Warfare waged by Turkey and its proxies in the TFSA, the culture of TA right now, the medical work they’re doing, queerness in Rojava and other topics.

eco-anarchist struggle against Nestle’s water-grabbing & state-sanctioned hit squads in Mexico

This interview was conducted more than two years ago from when it will be read. The delay in publication has more to do with the appropriate publication outlet than security or, more so, concerns for providing feedback on how an action group was “effectively halted.” The proliferation and intensification of violence in Mexico against anarchists, and especially organized women, has only increased since this interview.

15 Years in the Fight – end of Food Not Bombs in Belarus

15 Years in the Fight – end of Food Not Bombs in Belarus

From pramen.io

Activists of the Food Not Bombs initiative decided today to temporarily suspend their activism due to the ongoing repression in the country. The initiative was engaged in solidarity with the homeless and people with economic problems throughout 2020 and 2021. At the height of the repression, in spite of threats of violence from the punishers, every weekend there was a place in the center of Minsk where you could get a free portion of hot food and warm clothes.

Understanding the Modern State

from Anarchist Agency

an Interview with Eric Laursen

Agency: Your recently published book The Operating System: An Anarchist Theory of the Modern State. Why the State? What inspired you to tackle such a monumental subject at this time? Eric Laursen: Mainly the fact that it hasn’t really been done before. I’ve identified as an anarchist for just about my entire adult life, and early on, I was struck by the fact that the so-called “classic” anarchists – Kropotkin, Bakunin, Goldman, etc – never analyzed in an extended way what the State was.
