Fidel Castro speaking about the reasoning behind armed struggle and his views on the Vietnam war.

“It’s hanging people with a rope that can only be cut by armed struggle.”

 “Revolutionaries didn't choose armed struggle as the best path, it’s the path oppressors impose on the people.”

Homeland or death, long live comandante Fidel Castro!

“Long live Palestine!

 Crush Zionism!

 And we have tilled the earth

 And we have reaped the wheat

 And we have picked the lemons

 And pressed the olives

 And the whole world knows our land

Long live Palestine!

 Crush Zionism!

And we have thrown rocks on Soldiers and policemen

And we have fired rockets Against our enemies

And the whole world knows our struggle

 Long live Palestine!

 Crush Zionism! 

 And we will free our land From imperialism

 And we will rebuild our land For socialism

 And the whole world will witness

 Long live Palestine! Crush Zionism!”

“Our wounds are too fresh and too painful still for us to drive them from our memory. We have known harassing work, exacted in exchange for salaries which did not permit us to eat enough to drive away hunger, or to clothe ourselves, or to house ourselves decently, or to raise our children as creatures dear to us.” 

--Patrice Lumumba

Some may claim that the world wars was the darkest time of humanity, I instead claim colonialism and imperialism as humanitys most unforgiving dark past.

As the “free world” judged Hitler for his crimes against humanity, Great Britain, Belgium and many other nations of the so called free world still held parts of the world in tyrany, and again we lost a hero of the people!

We will never forget Patrice Lumumba nor the vile acts comited by the imperialists!

I always come back to this topic, for it was when I first read about Chile and Allende Salvador that my eyes truly opened. For it was at this moment I truly realised the capabilities of the United States of America.

Chile, the beacon of democracy in a continent of “Banana republics”, the longest running truly democratic country in latin america. This was true until a US backed coup was put in place, wich toppled the democratically elected socialist government of Chile, and replaced it with the market friendly dictator Augusto Pinochet whom systematically killed and tortured left-wing sympathisers for 17 years.       During this time the United States of America continued to support Ponochet and his junta.

Never forget, never forgive!

The last speech of Allende Salvador.

JOEL IS SERVING HIS TIME - WE PAY THE PRICE

Joel was one of the antifascists who chose to defend the anti-racist demonstration in Kärrtorp when it was attacked by fascists. He acted in self-defense but was sentenced to a 5,5 year long imprisonment in Svea Court for attempted manslaughter.

Today Joel is active within Fånggruppen and tries to make the best of the situation by building a network with other political prisoners and spread knowledge about prison struggle and solidarity work even to us who still have our freedom intact. The work he performs is important, but he will never get back the years inside the walls. It’s years without close contact with family and friends, years without freedom, and natural connection. For most of us it’s impossible to imagine that kind of situation, but we are many who stand united with his actions and we continue to claim that antifascism is self-defense. The least we can do, those who are on the other side of the walls, is to come together to pay the bills he has to pay in addition to his imprisonment. These 40 000 kr (approx.. 4268 euro or 4697 USD) is a cost that Joel shouldn’t have to pay personally, but instead we take it as a collective, all of us who stand with Joel and the other antifascists who defended the popular demonstration on the square in Kärrtorp.

To contribute to this fundraising is a concrete way to show solidarity, but it’s also a symbolic act which shows that we are many who stands up against fascism together. The price of antifascist activism should never fall on individuals, instead we pay for it as a collective movement.
