From EMRAWI
August 12, 2023
September 10, 1898: the anarchist Luigi Lucheni murders the Austro-Hungarian empress "Sissi" with a file. He does not have enough money for a dagger.
What followed was a violent wave of state attacks against anarchism and, with the Anti-Anarchist Conference in Rome, one of the first attempts to network police repression internationally.
September 9, 2023: an anarchist demonstration through Bad Ischl, a center of monarchy kitsch, commemorates the event with street theater and music.
125 years ago the then empress Sissi died after an assassination attempt by the anarchist Luigi Lucheni. Despite the oppression and suffering for which the monarchy was responsible, the monarchy kitsch, especially around Sissi, remains unbroken.
We want to oppose this, we call on you to do the same.
In addition, Bad Ischl, a center of the Sissi cult, will be European Capital of Culture 2024. We want to do something to counter this.
Therefore, there will be events and actions.
Above all, we are planning an anarchist demonstration in Bad Ischl on September 9!
But we also explicitly call on you to think about actions, contributions and events.
We also invite all groups and individuals to send us contributions that we can read and/or play at the demonstration and share on our social media channels.
The topics are pretty much unlimited. Whether Sissi in particular, Luigi Lucheni, the anti-monarchy movement, the propaganda of the deed, repression or whatever else you can think of!
More information to follow, we’re looking forward to it!

So, stabbing random women because they’re the property of powerful men is anarchist?
Power has no sex

yes. depriving a noble/aristocrat of their property is anarchist. more to the point: killing an empress is peak anarchist. 100% pure, not from concentrate anarchist.
It was.

There are no official aristocrats in 2023 North America. Or perhaps a few hidden somewhere, but they aren't in charge of anything. The bureaucrats is where it's at.
it is

There are a few aristocrats in Canada, but are they in charge of the military, banks, civil contractors, etc? Not quite. Yet they may be into real estate.
My point is how, like a famous quote in Children of Dune, the bureaucracy or administrative/managerial caste eventually makes itself into the aristocracy, regardless of the existence of an official artistocracy.
That's is the situation in republics like the US, Russia and China. It is especially clear in the case of North Korea, a so-called democratic republic that has reinstated a de facto monarchy.... But Clintons, Bushes, Trumps and the (struggling) Kennedies consolidating tremendous power and influence in a republic's politics is another example.
Difference between mafia politics and aristocratic politics is only a matter of cosmetics and rhetorics. There's a moment where the "experts" we know as administrators get to define themselves as a distinct ethnic entity, along blood lines, and socio-cultural cleavages (like the business cultures) play a great part in this. That is where an aristocracy starts.
