SABOTAGE

from Act for freedom now!

The way in which events in Ukraine are presented can deceive us. They call it a war of democracy and freedom on the one hand, with dictatorship and oppression on the other. It is supposed to be the time to stand as one, on the ‘right’ side of the barricade, in this battle between good and evil. But if we look behind the lines of spectacle, we see propaganda from all sides to enlist our bodies and minds for another round of geopolitical chess. The presented juxtaposition between freedom and oppression is false. Every country is at war in one way or another.

Through military operations outside its borders. By driving refugees to their borders to their death. By manufacturing weapons systems or technologies for military use and selling them to anyone who buys them. Every State oppresses. By imposing its dominant system on its population and punishing its dissenters in an exemplary manner. We can fight the war. Not by being soldiers, but by being saboteurs. Directly, by attacking the war industry that makes war possible.

More broadly, by breaking the social peace on which every State depends for its continued existence.

Disappointing that neither SirEinzige, Le Way, nor Calvin have given their thoughts on this article. Don't keep us waiting bros.

There has never been peace within any State, sooo, :-
"More broadly, by breaking the social peace on which every State depends for its continued existence." ,,,is a meaningless plea for the continuation of a binary war.

For total destruction of the enemy otherwise tactical retreat and wait until a time comes when the enemy can be totally annihilated and their entire world obliterated and made slaves so they can never invade again or else meekily surrender and become part of the invaders continuum.
To die in a futile patriotic heroic masculine gesture of defiance against a superior enemy only brings death and destruction to civilians in the end, civilians who would not have minded a surrender which would have preserved their homes and comforts, but masculine territorial patriotic pride destroyed all the world. Masculine political nationalistic PRIDE.

But if "proud heterosexual aggressors" are your enemy, then why don't you go retaliate on cops that violently evicted a squat or attacked some homeless person? Why si Pooty-Poot the only one that matters, on the whole planet? Pretty sure Zealotsky's a big one as well... just look at those manly muscles!

The fight of Ukrainian anarchists against the military of the Putni regime is NOT a support for the Ukranian state. It's a defence against dictatorship.

...for another dictatorship, with different leaders, that is. They don't do the difference whether you fought for them, or just against their competitor... In the end you are still fighting for their power, or just not fighting in this war.

I don't agree. And neither do the anarchists in Ukraine who probably know best.

Regardless of any argumentative definitions for either sides, this is still a tit-for-tat binary war.
