Georgia: The Firework Protests

https://crimethinc.com/Georgia2024

December 3 marked the sixth consecutive night of clashes between police and anti-government protesters in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. In this account, anarchists in Tbilisi report from the front lines, exploring the causes of the unrest and documenting it in a series of videos.

Georgia may seem far away, but the challenges that people there face—rule by billionaires, a reactionary clampdown on freedoms, an opposition controlled by feeble liberal leadership, and an absence of revolutionary alternatives—are similar to the challenges that hundreds of millions face in the United States and elsewhere around the world.

Festivals of Resistance: A Call for Gatherings the Weekend Before Trump Takes Office

https://crimethinc.com/festivalsofresistance

Along with others around the country, we invite you to join us in organizing festivals of resistance on the weekend of January 18, immediately before Donald Trump takes office. This is a crucial opportunity to engage in outreach, education, and action ahead of what it is sure to be a tumultuous time.

Once Trump takes power, it will only become more challenging to make connections with our neighbors, create the networks that we will need to face down his assaults, and share the skills we will need to survive his reign. Right now, we have a precious window of time in which to prepare. Let’s make the most of it.

The Syrian Civil War Resumes

https://crimethinc.com/Syria2024

The Syrian civil war has remained frozen since 2020, owing to a precarious balance of power between various factions with various degrees of support from Russia, Turkey, Iran, and the United States. Over the past few days, however, taking advantage of the ways that Iran has been tied down by conflict with Israel while Russia has been distracted in Ukraine, the anti-government forces Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) have seized Aleppo and intensified their campaign against the dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad.

While Assad has been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and his downfall would be welcome, this development poses new dangers.

The situation in Syria is complex; the same events look different from different vantage points. In order to triangulate the reality, we present here a perspective from expatriate participants in the revolution in western Syria alongside a report from anarchists in Rojava, northeastern Syria.

WTO Anniversary Reading List

Today marks 25 years since anarchists and other protesters shut down the summit of the World Trade Organization in Seattle. This was the public debut of what journalists dubbed the “anti-globalization movement”—in fact, a global movement against neoliberal capitalism.

This analysis explores the origins of that movement and what it can teach us today:

https://crimethinc.com/wtoepilogue

***

For a strategic analysis of how anarchists and other rebels were able to successfully blockade the WTO summit, we recommend "Netwar in the Emerald City," included in our zine N30, which you can print here:

https://crimethinc.com/zines/n30-the-seattle-wto-protests

***

For a spirited account from the front line in the streets on November 30, 1999, read "The Power Is Running":

https://crimethinc.com/WTO

***

In 1999, opposing neoliberalism was an extremist position. Decades later, Donald Trump appropriated this narrative and rode it to victory. This was only possible because of reformist currents in the original movement—and because we hadn't overthrown capitalism ourselves.

https://anarchistagency.com/trump-and-the-legacy-of-the-anti-globalization-movement/

Studying the WTO protests, we can learn how a relatively small number of people can act effectively when they organize horizontally and ambitiously—and grasp the stakes of today's fights.

The struggle continues. 🏴

Epilogue on the Movement against Capitalist Globalization

22 years after the victory against the World Trade Organization in Seattle, what can we learn from the networks that gave rise to that movement?

The billionaires want us to spent our lives on a treadmill of exploitation and consumption—producing a profit for them in the workplace, then buying back the products of our labor in our leisure time so they get us coming and going.

No wage, and nothing we could buy on the market, could make it worth giving up the precious hours of our lives and turning the world over to their destructive control. We only do those things because we have not yet worked out how to defend ourselves.

But the hour is becoming late, indeed.

Размышляя о движении «Захвати Уолл-стрит» тринадцать лет спустя

https://ru.crimethinc.com/2024/09/17/razmyshliaia-o-dvizhienii-trinadtsat-liet-spustia

Тринадцать лет назад тысяча демонстрантов вышла на Уолл-стрит, оккупировав парк Зукотти и запустив то, что стало известно как движение «Захвати» (Occupy). Рассматривая эти события сегодня, мы видим, насколько изменился ландшафт социальных движений на фоне поляризации общества. Организаторы движения «Захвати Уолл-стрит» стремились создать движение, которое объединило бы всё общество против правящего порядка и тех немногих, кто от него выигрывает, мобилизуясь под лозунгом «Мы – 99%». Сегодня разногласия, разделяющие наше общество, только углубились, что делает социальные изменения ещё сложнее. Однако это только подчёркивает важность наследия движения «Захвати».

On November 27, 1884—in defiance of that day's Thanksgiving festivities—anarchists in the United States marched with the black flag for the first time, in a demonstration protesting poverty and explicitly calling for the forcible abolition of property and wage labor. This was documented in the anarchist paper The Alarm. 🏴

Insurgent Survival: Reflections on the Fight Against Sweeps Targeting the Homeless in Austin, Texas

https://crimethinc.com/StoptheSweeps

In 2019, militants in Austin, Texas started an organization with the aim of defending homeless camps against sweeps—forced removals disguised as “cleanups” carried out by police and work crews. We explore the history of Stop the Sweeps and the strategic thinking behind it, seeking to distill lessons about autonomous organization that can aid revolutionaries in future struggles.

"The camp is an image of the future—a future in which increased economic precarity, climate crises, wars, and state repression produce new waves of displacement and migration, and new forms of repression and managerial governance arise in response."

Strategizing to Stop Mass Deportations

We've prepared a freestanding zine version of the appendix to "The Case for Resistance," exploring what it would look like to mobilize against Trump's promise to carry out "the largest mass deportation in US history."

https://crimethinc.com/zines/strategizing-to-stop-mass-deportations

Mass deportations will require massive logistics and infrastructure, which offer a host of opportunities for intervention.

“In 2017, a single mass occupation at JFK Airport in New York sparked occupations involving tens of thousands of people around the country. Tactics spread rapidly when they are inspiring. What can you and your community do, right now, to prepare to inspire nationwide resistance to the deportation machine?” 🏴

If people thought about real issues and needs instead of manufactured desires, the economy would collapse and we'd have total anarchy.
