There are demonstrations all over Italy. In Turin there is a big solidarity march, with the main slogan ‘The Struggle Does Not End’, just as there were demonstrations in Milan. Florence, in the central piazza D’Azeglio, anti-fascist march with a group of demonstrators singing Bella Ciao and chanting slogans for the release of Alfredo from 41bis. We are talking about thousands of people (estimated at 20,000), including students, with a shining example being high school principal Annalisa Savino, who sent the message ‘Fascism was born out of indifference’.

Peaceful and "legal" protest in Russia has been suppressed. Moreover, it is now impossible in principle: in a matter of days, the state has adopted a package of laws which make even shouting "No to War!" illegal. And liberal human rights activists are already handing out instructions: don't shout and write "No to War!", while pro-government journalists are making Orwell spin in his coffin by seriously producing stories that the slogan "No to War" came from Nazi leaflets.

When does a state turn fascist? I wonder at what intensity of statism does a state turn from a non-fascist, or non-fascist-like/type of state, into a fascist/fascist-like/fascist-type state. But then again, if fascism is a certain intensity of statism, then does that mean that all states have a quality of fascism or fascist-like/type qualities? Well, my anti-statist inclination is drawn towards saying “yes” to the last question, or at least “I’d say so”.

Regarding brutal repression perpetrated by the government lead by Iván Duque against those who struggle and resist in Colombia, we call for solidarity, for people to keep protesting throughout the territory, and to denounce, by all means possible, what today grieves Colombian people. Internationalist solidarity is the safeguard of the struggles we forge, and, therefore, we support the demands of the protests in Colombia (Paro Nacional): End state violence, withdraw the health reform now, and provide a universal basic income!

How do you understand the protests, from your Anarchist militancy? We understand the importance of the historical moment and these demands are not from the right or the left, but from the working people against the bourgeoisie and being able to continue with the legitimate right to protest will guarantee a better life and obtain more social achievements, consolidating a more united people and self-determined.
