"I watched with special feeling as the Russian columns passed by me at one of the positions. I peered into the faces of the soldiers, trying to understand whether they realized that all these years, they had been terrorizing the population with bombings, they had surrendered Afrin to the Turkish army, they had kept Assad’s regime alive—and now all this is over. Russian military aid to the Syrian dictatorship has ended. I do not think that those soldiers realized that they were looking into the eyes of a man from the same country as themselves, but who chose the other side of the barricades."

We invite you to join in organizing festivals of resistance on the weekend of January 18, immediately before Donald Trump takes office.

https://crimethinc.com/festivalsofresistance

By organizing ahead of Trump’s inauguration, we can seize the initiative and set our own timeline rather than being caught flat-footed and forced to react. We need to welcome new participants into these struggles and foster a revolutionary perspective that can orient us through the challenges ahead.

In a wide range of different traditions all around the world, people give gifts to celebrate important occasions. This is because gift-giving is more meaningful and more fulfilling than buying and selling. It fosters stronger communities and healthier relationships—both to each other and to material goods.

This is one of the many reasons why we are anti-capitalists. 🏴

Opór wobec lokalnego autorytaryzmu i wielobiegunowych imperializmów w Gruzji

https://crimethinc.com/2024/12/11/opor-wobec-lokalnego-autorytaryzmu-i-wielobiegunowych-imperializmow-w-gruzji

W setną rocznicę powstania w Gruzji przeciwko sowieckiej aneksji, walka o niezależność od rosyjskich rządów pozostaje główną siłą napędzającą powszechną mobilizację, która narastała w ciągu ostatnich kilku miesięcy. Jednak dzisiejszy ruch wskazuje na horyzont wykraczający poza wybór między Europą a Rosją, dwiema imperialnymi potęgami walczącymi o wpływy w regionie. Wyraża on rosnący społeczny gniew zarówno na lokalny autorytarny reżim, jak i na uchwyt, w jakim zagraniczne potęgi gospodarcze trzymają cały Kaukaz.
