Note: Since we published this video, more details have emerged about Operation Solidarity, and anarchists' involvement in the so-called 'territorial defence' units of the Ukrainian army.  For further information, please read this note of critical reflection from our comrades in ABC Dresden or this excellent critique of militarism put out by anarchist comrades in the Czech Republic.

For the last month, the people of Ukraine have been resisting Russia’s invasion. Many are putting their lives on the line not to protect the Ukrainian state, but against the so-called Russian world which only brings authoritarianism, torture and misery. We can’t forget that the very same air force that struck a shopping district in Kiev and a maternity hospital in Mariupol also razed Aleppo to the ground, burying the Syrian revolution in its rubble. Resistance against Putin and his world requires solidarity across borders.

We are calling on all anarchists and antifascists to support the fight. Anarchist Black Cross collects money for comrades in Ukraine and those who have decided to leave the country. You can support their efforts at abcdd.org.

Solidarity is our weapon.

Se você pudesse mudar qualquer coisa na sua realidade, o que escolheria? Sairia de férias pelo resto da vida? Faria com que os combustíveis fósseis parassem de causar distúrbios climáticos? Desejaria banqueiros e políticos éticos e honestos? Mas é claro que nada soa mais enganoso do que manter tudo como está e esperar algum resultado diferente disso.

Nossas batalhas econômicas e emocionais mais particulares refletem em escala menor os levantes sociais e as catástrofes em níveis globais. Poderíamos passar o resto da vida tentando apagar cada foco do incêndio que consome o mundo hoje, mas eles continuariam a vir da mesma fonte. Nenhuma reforma parcial vai adiantar; precisamos repensar tudo de acordo com uma lógica diferente.

History has shown us that voting on elections accomplishes next to nothing, and that real lasting revolutionary change is won through hard work, by real people self organizing, and not by elected politicians. Yet every four years, the spectacle of the Democrats VS Republicans entices millions and makes them forget these proven facts. Trap News is our friendly (and funny, we hope) reminder of this.

Over the past few weeks, Redneck Revolt has been communicating with a former member of a III% Patriot Militia based out of Ohio. Peter made contact with our organization after questioning the basis for an upcoming operation that his local militia group was asked to be involved in, that would have had III% members mobilize for an armed response against a Black Lives Matter protest. He expressed that after 5 years involved in various Patriot groups, a recent personal experience had made him decide he could no longer be part of an organization that treated other working people as the enemy. Peter had recently realized that the reasons he had gotten involved in the Patriot Movement, initially worries about government overreach after Sandy Hook, had been turned into a fear of Muslims, undocumented people, and groups like Black Lives Matter and “antifa”.

In the time since Peter first contacted us, we've worked to build a relationship, and grow alongside him. We feel that both sides have much to learn from each other, especially about Peter's personal journey to understanding his own participation in rhetoric and mobilization against other working folks, and now his dedication to fighting against the people actually responsible for destroying our communities. We look forward to working with Peter, as well as others coming out of the III% Patriots and other related movements as they work to leave behind old ideologies, and start to fight for real liberty for all people.

It's 2018. You've waited all year, and here you go! Our gift to you: a look back on mischievous anti-fascist elves beating back the fascist creep, Santa's scraggly squatters opening up autonomous zones and defending them from the forces of order, and crack Krampus commandos commandeering forklifts to light up the winter skies with burning cop cars. Ah, it truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

Montreal community groups came together with autonomous radicals last week to demand access to housing, squatting buildings and holding free barbecues in the park.

Channel Zero is a newly formed podcast network of several anarchist and anti-authoritarian podcasts across so-called North America. Our goal is to create an ever growing platform to expand the reach of anarchist analysis into a larger and more public audience. Currently, we are made of up the Final Straw, the Crimethinc Ex-Worker Podcast, SubMedia, the Solecast, Which Side Podcast, Resonance: an Anarchist Audio Distro and the IGDCAST.

Help us get this off the ground by supporting our fundraising campaign.

In 2016, numerous attacks were launched at diverse symbols of gentrification in the Montreal neighborhoods of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and Saint-Henri. We wanted to give space to the people involved so that they can explain a point of view, that corporate media consistently ignore or misrepresent. subMedia has obtained an exclusive interview with two anarchists involved in the actions.

A brief update on the historic nation-wide prison strike, launched by US inmates on September 9th. Since then, protests, hunger strikes and work stoppages have taken place in at least 31 facilities in at least 11 states... and they show no signs of stopping.
