System Fail #18: Democracy and its Discontents

just give me the script, don't make me listen to the robot

As the gears of recuperation churn popular energy towards supporting a heavily sanitized list of politicians in the US, the people of so-called Brazil are dealing with the aftermath of a hotly contested election. Despite widespread reports of voter suppression and vote buying, right-wing incumbent, Jair Bolsonaro, has lost by a narrow margin to neoliberal centrist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva better known as Lula. Bolsonaro supporters are taking the news particularly poorly and have attempted to shut down the country but have been faced with fierce resistance from Brazil’s working class, antifascists and football ultras.

From The Final Straw

Anarchist antimilitarism and myths about the war in Ukraine

Anarchist antimilitarism and myths about the war in Ukraine

We consider the following text from the blog antimilitarismus.noblogs.org to be one of the most important contributions of Czech anarchism against war and all warmongers, who, unfortunately, are also abundant in the anarchist movement.

The way how the text presents the various arguments against the myths about war that prevail in the anarchist movement and how it gathers them together into an organic complex of a revolutionary defeatist position, the vigor with which it opposes various pseudo-reasons why the anarchist movement should support war or one of the warring parties, the insistence with which it advocates the transformation of the imperialist conflict into a class conflict as the only possible path towards social revolution and therefore the only real peace, all of those makes out of it from our point of view a supremely important document of the contemporary revolutionary anti-war movement, even on an international scale.

Selfless Anarchism in Action

Selfless Anarchism in Action

From Mongoose Distro by Dan Baker

In a previous essay we explored how to cultivate motivation for direct actions, and to visualize how to make meaningful progress toward the liberation of all beings, in detail. We will now build on that with specific examples and further motivations. Obviously we can be moved by current events, like the Women’s Revolution in Rojava and the more recent uprising of women in Iran, and the global support pouring in for that struggle. There is also the regressive efforts of sexist religious fanatics in Amerikkka struggling to take away women’s bodily autonomy which need to be opposed. Ignoring these will only allow them to go further and further, slowing breaking down the healthy boundaries of progress that protect women’s rights.
