How can us anarchists win again a bunch capitalists and out system of control if we don’t starting organizing strategically? I’m tired of waiting around so if you’re from Minnesota or adjacent, message me if you want to create an anarchist community that help each other study, protest injustice and network with allies .

Against repression, austerity and war: for the union of workers and students in the struggle!

Thumbnail leftcom.org
5 Upvotes

For more than two weeks, high school students and students have been fighting for decent study conditions. These mobilizations, despite a repression of rare violence on the part of the state and its henchmen, can only be welcomed with vigor. While the government invests heavily in the army for a future generalized war that is emerging before our eyes, the proletarianized youth seems to show the way forward: in the face of accelerated militarization, not a euro for the army, the urgency is elsewhere! Far from being only French, these mobilizations affect all countries. In Germany, Italy or Belgium, many follow the French example; it can only strengthen the struggle! Against the nationalist poison, support, everywhere, the comrades and young proletarians who fight!

But the high school and student mobilizations are still insufficient; the blockades and demonstrations, even massive, cannot lead to victory. The government and the capitalists have only one high school or a university to be blocked: some even do it preventively! To hope to go further, and win this struggle, we must tackle the nerve of war in this capitalist society: profit. It is through the alliance with the workers that this movement can be expanded, and that it will show all its real strength! Rather than staying alone in front of your high school or college, you have to extend the struggle to the world of work, organize yourself into General Assemblies, send delegations to the working world in factories and depots! It is only by the extension of the struggle that the government will bend, because then it will be the interests of the capitalists who will be threatened!

Make no mistake: the mission of the School is not to allow everyone social ascension through knowledge and culture. It is to carry out a sorting between a privileged minority occupying the right places and a majority of proletarians destined to be exploited. Through their revolt, high school students show that they are not fooled by the republican lie and that they reject this future made of misery and war. The bourgeois left parties like LFI do everything to channel the movement: much more than a frontal opposition to the state, they play the mediators, the conciliators; and of course, in the end, it is always the bourgeoisie that wins! The inter-union, meanwhile, postpones the mobilizations to several weeks to better stifle the struggle! Faced with this observation, one thing is certain: in addition to confronting the capitalists, protected by the state, it will also be necessary to tackle the trade unions and the so-called “reformist” parties of the left!

High school students, students, join the working class, call her to participate in the struggle, carry words of unitary orders: against austerity and the deterioration of living and working conditions, against a militarized budget that will affect the most precarious!

Workers, workers, join the students in their movement, embark on the struggle! Solidarity with students and repressed high school students!

This is from Left Com, I thought it is a nice leaflet

My Problem With The Dictatorship Of The Proletariat

15 Upvotes

The underlying issue with the DotP is with how the common worker is not taken into consideration when this is the individuals they are supposed to represent. Furthermore, if the common man attempts to speak up and dispute the system he is branded a counter revolutionary and a bourgeois. Within the DotP there is still the scapegoating that plagues capitalism. The blame on counter revolutionaries on the failures of the system when the real problem is the failure to represent the proletariat. This is my problem with socialism and the DotP; it creates a new state when the goal of communism is classlessness, it fails to represent the proletariat, and it suppresses rights and opposition. The true way to communism is an immediate eradication of the state, no transition period of socialism, straight to classlessness.

# NERO WATCHING ROME BURN | Worldwide Protests & the Crisis of Power

From Europe to Asia, Africa to the Americas, people are taking to the streets. Different countries. Different governments. Different grievances. But one question keeps emerging:

What happens when the people lose faith in those who govern them?

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Rome burned while Emperor Nero became a symbol of leadership detached from the suffering of ordinary people. Whether Nero actually watched Rome burn is another question entirely. But the metaphor has survived for centuries. And looking at the world today, it's difficult not to wonder whether history is offering us another lesson.

In this episode of WWJPS, we're examining protests around the world, the circumstances driving them, and the governments struggling to respond. We're looking beyond the dramatic images of burning barricades and crowds filling city streets to ask what is actually happening beneath the surface.

- Worldwide demonstrations and the grievances driving them
- Rising living costs, inequality, corruption, and political distrust
- Government responses and the limits of public patience
- The difference between peaceful protest and political violence
- The growing influence of concentrated wealth and power
- Whether separate national movements reveal a broader crisis of public confidence

Are we witnessing isolated political crises? Or are these demonstrations revealing something more fundamental about the relationship between governments and the people they serve?

**And perhaps the most important question: Who is listening while Rome burns?**

This isn't about telling you what to believe. It's about looking at what's happening, asking uncomfortable questions, and examining the evidence.

Because history doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it simply offers a warning.

**I am a witness, not a journalist.**

**DISCLAIMER:** This video presents personal opinions, commentary, and analysis of publicly available information. Protests in different countries arise from distinct political, economic, and social circumstances and should not automatically be treated as connected. Allegations and interpretations are not established facts. WWJPS does not endorse violence, destruction of property, or harm to individuals. Viewers are encouraged to consult original reporting, examine multiple perspectives, and reach their own informed conclusions.

Problems as a transhumanist

6 Upvotes

on the main sub, i made a post about the topic of transhumanism and got heavily criticized by primitivist and some eco anarchist, which is fine in it of itself, debate is good. but all of the responses were quite narrow minded and did not really contribute to actual debate. i was planning to respond to some of the comments, but more just kept coming and i decided i didint have the mental energy to respond to them.

as an anarcho-transhumanist i feel quite threatened my desires still may not be met in a successful anarchist society, sure all my needs might be but im scared no one will care about this subject and body augmentation due to the prevelence of primitivist in other anarchist communities, and i wouldnt be able to follow my passions or live an extended life. it is a shame they dont seem to understand and assosciate us with technofacist and capitalist which we are utterly against. what do yall think here?

this is more of a vent than a thoughtfull political argument, but i just wanted to get this out

I used to be a Neo-Nazi and an Incel

88 Upvotes

Growing up in Alabama, even with parents that identified as liberal and tried to teach me to be accepting towards others and whatnot, I ended up being swayed by the kids at my schools, W.O. Lance elementary And Sanford Middle, before I moved to Alvin, Texas when I was 14. I became an atheist at 15, my first paradigm shift, and due to family history, by 18, I fully identified as a Neo-Nazi. I was always an Incel, even before the word was made up, but mostly because I never really understood women and they were always mean to me, probably because I came off as creepy to them, unfortunately. I was SA'd by my Sunday School teacher when I was 8, important context, because even now I still resent christians due to their holy scripture saying a lot of really messed up shit about children, with people following it despite the hatred it spews out. Well, the whole reason I brought this up is, being an Incel and a Neo-Nazi is very depressing. I remember attempting to end myself several times in several different ways because I simply didn't know how I was going to escape the mental agony of it all. I didn't understand that humanity is amazing and does have inherent value, which contradicted Neo-Nazism, and that I couldn't get a girlfriend because my personality was ass, which contradicted my Inceldom. However, I've always loved studying everything, wanting to understand the world around me, which is the poison that rots away things like Fascism and Sexism. Around when Trump plopped his ass back on the throne of corruption the second time, back in 2024, I decided to start studying politics and economics, where I found that most things I already had a good grasp on, except for communism. So I learned about it. And that ideology grabbed my hand and pulled me from the abyss of depression id been hanging from for so long. I know most people thank their friends for pulling themselves out of hard times. But I've never really had friends, it's always just been me. So communism gets the credit on that one. I'm so grateful, but it's not like I can hug an ideology and thank it. I just thought my story was a little bit unique, even if it's common for Neo-Nazis to become Ancom, idk tbh. It would just be nice to finally meet another person who identifies with this ideology, like in real life, not just online. I do tell people about communism, teaching them the difference between communism and state capitalism, and as long as I don't tell them I'm a commie, they usually react pretty well. I used to be super awkward, but these days, I'm super awkward, but I have confidence now, and I can describe entire concepts without tripping on my words, so people tend to take me slightly more seriously than they used to. Funny enough, I still have never had a girlfriend, and that's ok now, since I understand myself better. Turns out I'm something called a Demisexual, so I'm not technically attracted to someone until I form a bond with them, so I just need to get out more, which is easier said than done. But now I understand that women are the same as any other person, and deserve the same treatment as everyone else. I also finally managed to get myself to see trans people as the gender they identify as as well without mental gymnastics, since all it took was listening to what they had to say rather than right-leaning pundits like Ben Shapiro and whatnot.

New Edition of 'Communisation'

10 Upvotes

Very excited to announce a new and updated edition of the influential text 'Communisation' to the Outrages Press catalogue.

We've worked with Dauvé to produce a revised and unique edition of this seminal work. Originally published in 2011 this includes a revised text, updated preface from the author & a new introduction from 'Spontex' who situates the text within the challenges of the 2020s.

Hand bound with waxed linen thread using the traditional 康熙綴じ (Noble) stab binding technique, dating back to the Edo period (1603–1867) and named for Emperor Kangxi of the Qing dynasty who preferred its refined, clean appearance.

I am very happy with how this binding has turned out & honoured to give this fantastic essay a fresh coat of paint.

Free access to resources is to our advantage. Building mechanisms to restrict access to resources produced through mutual aid gives a mechanism for the people with more power than us to exert control over us. On top of that, guaranteeing people another option undermines capitalists
