June 21 2020 - Activists of Kyiv Pride used a drone to carry a giant rainbow flag to the top of the Motherland Monument. The drone was manoeuvred in front of the sword, giving the impression that the mother is waving the rainbow flag above the city. [video]
We are sharing some of our favourite gifs each day this month for Antifa International’s anniversary. Today we honor the antifascist fighters of the YPG/YPJ and their allies, and their heroic fight against the fascism of Daesh/ISIS.

December 15 2018 - Cops in Paris are shown specifically targeting peaceful citizens filming riot police. I know this footage looks almost comically dystopian but it is real. [video]
i’m in love with this fucking beautiful pic.
all the power to rojava!
I swear i'm not sealioning and I really really hate the current government police and military but like under anarchism how do we like stop/punish murderers and rapists? How do we keep it from becoming the purge?
No, I know you are not sealioning! Dont worry! Anarchists themselves ask this question all of the time - literally thousands of pages have been written by anarchists trying to answer this question.
I think the first thing to note here is that police and laws don’t really stop rapes and murders from happening. Rapes and murders currently happen in every country where they are illegal. The only thing the police do is arrest people who did the crime after they have done it - and that only really some of the time. So it is actually quite a bit of convenient propaganda that the state positions itself as the thing protecting you from “the Purge,” when in reality, the Purge and Purge like conditions still happen all the time.
So what actually prevents crime? How about changing the conditions that lead to crime in the first place? Ending poverty? Giving full and comprehensive sex education to people and ending patriarchal modes of relating to one another? Anarchists look at the root cause of many of these things and hope to cut it off right there. They are actually, in many ways, far more proactive in doing so than the state. An anarchist society would be built something a long those lines.
For more on this, I highly recommend the book “Law and Authority” by Peter Kropotkin, which is available here:

Hi! I like your blog but was wondering if you could give me an ELI5 version of the difference between communism, socialism, and marxism. I'm a scientist and have absolutely no background in these things.
Yeah, sure!
Communism = “a stateless, classless, moneyless society.” There are tons of different kinds of communists, and communism has existed for thousands of years. Communes themselves have existed in many different forms throughout human history. One of the most popular forms of communist analysis in the modern world is Marxism, which is based on the writings of 19th century German intellectual Karl Marx and his long line of intellectual descendants. Marxism posits that “all hitherto existing history is a history of class struggle,” and due to this dialectic of materially different groups clashing with one another over time (dialectical materialism), communism will either inevitably spring out of the contradictions apparent within capitalism, or capitalism will destroy everything. Marxism is just one kind of communism, and there are many others, including religious communism (that’s me!), anarcho-communism (also me!), utopian communism, etc.
Socialism = “workers own the means of production.” This is a much newer idea than communism, since it basically requires capitalism or something similar to exist for the material conditions to even be right for socialism to intellectually develop. Socialism says that instead of workplaces being owned and managed by absentee business owners, they should instead be managed by the workers directly, for their own benefit. Socialism is normally conceived as a step towards communism (particularly within Marxism), and so almost all socialists are necessarily also communists.
Sometimes all of these terms are confused with something else, normally called Social Democracy, which is basically just the idea that “there should be a massive welfare state.” Almost all socialists and communists support social democratic reforms (like tax-payer funded healthcare, tax-payer funded public transportation, etc.) because they materially benefit workers, but a welfare state by itself is neither socialism or communism. Even if the government “runs everything,” that is neither socialism nor communism.
Hopefully that helps!
