On Saturday, January 12, 2002, hundreds of neo-Nazis gathered in York, Pennsylvania in an attempt to promote white supremacy. Anarchists and other opponents of fascism throughout the region mobilized to prevent them from achieving their purpose.
Twenty-one years later, a participant in the battle of York recounts the clashes of that day and reflects on what has changed since then, comparing the events in York with those in Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017.

O 8 de Janeiro no Brasil - A Escalada Fascista do Capitólio ao Planalto
É crucial não depender do Estado para nos proteger do fascismo e nos organizemos e construindo uma força que não pode ser tirada por eleição ou golpe.

With the assistance of the curator of the Labadie collection, the most extensive archive of anarchist material in North America, we were able to track down a copy of this early CrimethInc. poster and add it to our archive.
https://crimethinc.com/posters/the-revolution-will-not-be-on-television-nothing-will-be-on-television
This design dates from a quarter of a century ago. It's the sort of hastily conceived poster that young punks who lived at densely-populated collective houses would compose and print at Kinko's at three in the morning in those days.
A dramatically improved version of the text of the poster later appeared in the inside cover of our book, Expect Resistance:

Twenty-one years ago today, anarchists from around the Northeast joined forces with local Black and Brown youth to chase hundreds of neo-Nazis out of York, Pennsylvania.
To fight against fascism means confronting by any means necessary those who aim to dominate or exterminate us. It means overcoming all the imposed barriers that divide us, all the partitions based in ethnicity, gender, and legal status. It requires that we propose real solutions to the scarcity and desperation that capitalism creates, to counteract the scapegoating that nationalists and demagogues rely on.

Brazylijski 8 Stycznia I Wzrost Faszyzmu

8 stycznia 2023 r. skrajnie prawicowi zwolennicy pokonanego byłego prezydenta Brazylii Jaira Bolsonaro szturmowali budynki rządowe w Brasílii, najwyraźniej w groteskowej imitacji porażki, której zwolennicy Donalda Trumpa doznali w Waszyngtonie 6 stycznia 2021 r. W poniższym raporcie nasi towarzysze w Brazylii szczegółowo opisują trajektorię, która doprowadziła do tych wydarzeń, i omawiają zagadki, przed którymi w konsekwencji stają przeciwnicy faszyzmu w Brazylii.

Solidarity with everyone who has taken a stand to defend Lützerath against the German police, fighting for an inhabitable future earth against heartless, thoughtless mercenaries.

As climate change approaches the point of no return, remember—after September 11, 2001, the FBI declared that environmental activists were enemy #1.
As temperatures soar, remember how politicians passed legislation to protect fossil fuel profiteers.
As hurricanes pummel the coast, remember how the cops swabbed pepper spray into protesters' eyes.
As flash floods destroy towns, remember all the people they brutalized at Standing Rock.
As forests go up in smoke, remember how riot police charged the crowds so they could expand the open-pit mine at #Lützerath.
As the polar ice caps melt, remember how prosecutors charged young people with terrorism for trying to protect the environment that we all depend on.
Remember who is responsible.
If not for their violence, we could have dealt with the ones who are driving climate change long ago.
In return for a few dollars, they are forcing the end of the world on us.

By now, many of you have seen the footage of the monk (or mud wizard) facing off with hapless riot police during the defense of #Lutzerath this past weekend.
If you have not seen it, treat yourself to it now:
https://twitter.com/HerrHoert/status/1614386528934846470
In fact, this mysterious figure already appeared in 2018, during the defense of the ZAD (the "Zone to Defend," a longtime squatted area where the residents blocked the construction of an airport) at Notre-Dame-des-Landes.
According to le Monde, the police ambushed the monk among a group of other defenders. The monk threw three buckets of water at the police, proclaiming "I baptize you in the name of the ZAD!" In the ensuing chaos, he made off with one of their batons.

Reportedly, at the ZAD, the same monk was later seen chanting "disarm them" with the liberal retirees while holding the baton he had taken from the cops.
