In this video from Atlanta Community Press Collective, #StopCopCity RICO defendant Jamie Marsicano discusses how the explicit goal of this judicial persecution is to terrorize people out of engaging in mutual aid, solidarity, and other practices that are core to anarchism. Thanks to mutual aid and solidarity, the RICO case has not succeeded in accomplishing that goal.

Today marks two years since Russia initiated the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine.

Russia: Waiting for the Wheel of History to Turn

Reflections on the first phase of the Russian anti-war movement: the stakes of the protests, why they hit a wall, and how to move forward from here.

The invasion would never have been possible if Putin’s regime had not spent the past decade crushing every social movement in Russia—using torture to extract false confessions from arrestees and imprisoning or assassinating countless people. But this is not limited to Russia alone. Everywhere on earth, governments are relying on more and more repressive and invasive policing to control restless populations. The war in Ukraine is part of a story that is familiar in Syria, Yemen, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Sudan, Palestine, and elsewhere. It represents the same strategy that governments around the world are employing within their territories, expanded to the scale of geopolitics: the recourse to brute force to suppress resistance and extend control. Wherever we fight against state repression, we are fighting against a future of war. In this picture, anarchists march today in Vilnius.

Tonight, after a judge dropped the murder charges against the police officer who killed Eddie Irizarry, people in Philadelphia engaged in multiple forms of protest, including looting corporate stores like Apple and Foot Locker. This is a rational protest tactic in a society in which police murder hundreds of young people of color with impunity every year, in which millions are forced to scrape by in poverty while billionaires flaunt their wealth. In the words of one witness of tonight's protests in Philadelphia, "Everybody must eat."

Memories from Saint-Imier, 1872 to 2023

A full report on the international anarchist gathering in Saint-Imier, courtesy of participants from around the world.

In July 2023, some 5000 anarchists gathered in Saint-Imier, Switzerland for a week of events commemorating the anniversary of the establishment of the first international anti-authoritarian labor federation. Here, we explore that history and present a variety of accounts and appraisals from anarchists who came from around the world to participate this year.
