We Must Unlearn the Lie That State Violence Is Inherently Legitimate- Interview with Kelly Hayes

Note: The text that follows is an excerpt of an interview with Kelly Hayes that is featured in the anthology of antifascist writing No Pasarán! (AK Press, October 2022). “Kops and Klan go hand in hand!” This chant was shouted in street gatherings across the country during the 2020 uprising against white supremacy and police violence. The historic connection of white nationalist vigilante violence and the police became glaringly obvious… …

Socialism in Black Queer Time: 70s and the Erotic Potentials of Radical Politics- Roderick Ferguson

In this talk Professor Ferguson engages the history of black queer diasporic formations in the 1970s as part of radical attempts to reimagine and eroticize socialist imaginations. The talk situates these formations within a social and political context in which various modes of difference were being mobilized to illustrate and expand the symbolic flexibility and the “writerly” potentials of socialism – particularly by the politically imaginative work of the Black… …

When Futurism Led to Fascism—and Why It Could Happen Again

The Italian Futurists praised invention, modernity, speed, and disruption. Sound familiar? IN 1909, A poet named Filippo Marinetti was driving along in his brand new Fiat when he came across two cyclists in the road. Marinetti swerved to avoid hitting his fellow travelers, sending his car into a ditch and completely destroying the vehicle. Here’s how Marinetti described the encounter: The words were scarcely out of my mouth when I spun… …

Between Past and Future: On the Contrasting Fortunes of the Far-Right and the Far-Left in Europe By George Sotiropoulos / Void Network

A specter appears to be haunting Europe, but it does not wear red. The recent European elections are the last in a series of electoral results indicating that the ghost has taken a decisively rightwing turn. Of course, “populism” is still used widely by politicians and intellectuals in order to pinpoint this ominous presence that is said to threaten our liberal democracies. However, along with the dubious analytical merits of… …

How the FEDS failed to track thousands of separated children – by ISSIE LAPOWSKY

THEY KEPT THE kids in cages. And Excel spreadsheets. And more than 60 other government files and databases that made it nearly impossible to track the thousands of children who have been separated from their parents by the Trump administration while trying to enter the United States. This is according to a new report released Thursday by the Department of Health and Human Service’s Office of Inspector General, which finds that, since 2017, the Trump… …

The History of White Women’s Racism and White Supremacy- by Kim Kelly

GATHER YOUR PEOPLE WHITE WOMEN MUST HOLD EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE FOR RACISM We know that 53 percent of white women voted for Donald Trump. We know that some white women are so blinded by their privilege, their racism, and a patriarchal system that insists their lives as wives and mothers are “precious” that they happily carry water for the white men in hoods and iron crosses. We know that some white… …

2ο Αντιφασιστικό Φεστιβάλ Λέσβου / 2nd Antifa Festival of Lesvos 28+29/9/2018

[(For english scroll down)] Τοποθετημένη σε ένα γεωγραφικό σημείο-αιχμή, λόγω της παραμεθοριακής και διασυνοριακής ταυτότητας που την χαρακτηρίζει, η Λέσβος βρίσκεται πάντοτε ανάμεσα στα πιο φλέγοντα ζητήματα της επικαιρότητας. Λόγω αυτών των χαρακτηριστικών, ένα μέρος των κατοίκων αντιλαμβάνεται τον εαυτό του ως “φρουρό” των εθνικών συνόρων, συνθήκη η οποία κατασκευάζεται κι ενισχύεται από τον κρατικό μηχανισμό. Το γεγονός αυτό, προκύπτει ως φυσικό επακόλουθο των μακροχρόνιων διακρατικών ανταγωνισμών, οι οποίοι τρέφουν… …

NO NAME DIVIDES US NO NATION UNITES US PROLETARIANS HAVE NO MOTHER COUNTRY The resurgence of the “Macedonian issue” has been a rare opportunity for all kinds of nationalist and fascist scums to take up space in the public discourse and try to promote their murderous political plans. The nationalist rallies in Thessaloniki and Athens served this very purpose. It became obvious, even to the most naive, that the supposedly… …

An Italian neo-fascist shot 6 immigrants. So why won’t Italy’s political parties condemn xenophobia?

On Feb. 3, a 28-year-old far-right activist named Luca Traini went on a shooting rampage in Macerata, a small town in central Italy, wounding five men and one woman of African origin. When police apprehended him, Traini was wrapped in an Italian flag, performing the Roman salute and screaming “Viva l’Italia.” His move to “kill them all,” Traini claimed, came after hearing that a Nigerian drug dealer had been arrested as a suspect in… …

Όποιος κοιμάται ήρωας ξυπνάει Θεοδωράκης- του Δημοσθένη Χριστόπουλου

“How to Uphold White Supremacy by Focusing on Diversity and Inclusion. Liberalism’s inherent racism.” by KYRA a Chinese-Amerikan trans woman working to create space for radical racial justice

Since the civil rights movement, white people have exploited every opportunity to conceal their colonialist legacy and longstanding (ab)use of white supremacist power. They’ve proven time and again that they have no interest in rectifying that history, only in dealing with the fact that they could no longer deny the reality of those injustices. One effective tactic has been to separate white supremacy and colonialism from the way racism is… …

10 Outrageous Reasons Black People Were Lynched in America

For years the U.S. government allowed racist white lynch mobs to murder Black men, women and children for practically nothing. The lynchings were so absurd one could argue that Black people’s lives were little to no value at all.  In fact, between 1882 and 1930 in just the 10 southern U.S. states of Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, and South Carolina, 2,500 black people were lynched.… …
