We are relieved to hear that there may be a ceasefire in Palestine in which both sides will release some hostages.
Even if the ceasefire does take place, Benjamin Netanyahu maintains that he is determined to resume killing as soon as possible. 1200 Israeli casualties and over 14,000 Palestinian casualties—almost half of them children—are not enough for him.
It's up to us to intensify the pressure on arms profiteers, warmongers, and the US government which is making this catastrophe possible. If we do, perhaps we could block the resumption of hostilities.
This ceasefire shows it is possible for them to stop killing, but it's up to us to make them do so.
In the long run, the only way to make anyone safe in the region will be to put an end to the oppression of Palestinians.

Rivisitare la campagna Smash EDO
https://crimethinc.com/2023/11/17/rivisitare-la-campagna-smash-edo-una-campagna-di-pressione-contro-un-produttore-di-armi-1
Due decenni fa, la campagna Smash EDO ha deciso di chiudere una fabbrica di armi a Brighton, dando l'esempio a coloro che oggi cercano di fermare il genocidio a Gaza.
Nel corso di una lotta durata anni, hanno sperimentato una serie di strategie. In un caso, gli attivisti hanno fatto irruzione nell'impianto e vi hanno arrecato danni per centinaia di migliaia di sterline, per poi essere dichiarati innocenti da una giuria al processo.

El 18 de junio de 1999, manifestantes irrumpieron en el distrito financiero de Londres en protesta contra las injusticias del capitalismo global. Movimientos como este –no demagogos como Trump– son el verdadero enemigo de las elites globales.

The Ex-Worker Podcast, Episode #100
In Memory of Dmitry Petrov
https://crimethinc.com/exworker100
On April 19, 2023, a Russian anarchist named Dmitry Petrov was killed in battle near Bakhmut, Ukraine. In this episode of our podcast, we offer a eulogy remembering Dmitry.
Dmitry was an uncompromising anarchist fighter who participated in an unbelievable amount of radical activity around the region. His extraordinary life spanned anarchist organizing as a teenager in Moscow; environmental defense, radical unionism, and refugee solidarity activism; years of underground direct action against police, military, and profiteers from gentrification; participating in the Maidan protests in Ukraine, an uprising against dictatorship in Belarus, and the struggle against the Islamic State in Rojava; co-founding the Anarcho-Communist Combat Organization; and finally taking up arms against Russian imperialism in Ukraine.

Back to the Future: The Return of the Ultraliberal Right in Argentina
https://crimethinc.com/Argentina2023
Last week, the extreme right won electoral victories in the Netherlands and Argentina. The global reactionary wave that brought Donald Trump to power did not subside with his electoral loss in 2020.
In this reflection, an Argentine anarchist explores why Javier Milei won the election and situates Milei's politics in historical context. Although Milei's "anarcho-capitalist" rhetoric may seem new, this is just the latest chapter of a story that is very old in Argentina: the combination of cutthroat capitalism with ruthless state violence.

Henry Kissinger has died. Just this week, we published an article from Argentina quoting his justification for backing a coup in Chile in which tens of thousands were tortured and murdered:
“The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.”
https://crimethinc.com/Argentina2023
Tonight, we listen to "Preguntas por Puerto Montt" by Víctor Jara and commit ourselves once more to fight against the murderers of humanity, against both those who pull the triggers and those who give the orders.

Today, it has been 24 years since anarchists and other protesters successfully blockaded and shut down the summit of the World Trade Organization in Seattle, catapulting the movement against capitalist globalization onto the world stage.
At that time, the greatest challenge was to rupture the apparent consensus in favor of the reigning order. Now, the capitalist triumphalism of the 1990s is a thing of the past. The capitalism of the 21st century no longer makes any pretense that everyone will benefit from the economy and the state. We have to demonstrate means of fighting that can be of use of a wide range of people as they struggle to survive.
From the movements of the turn of the century, we can learn the value of joyous, affirmative, and creative action in building networks of resistance.
