'Beijing also announced that the new law, which entered into force on Wednesday, could apply to individuals outside the country’s borders, which has raised further alarm among rights groups, which said it could be used to target overseas critics of China.

The Chinese government, however, said Western media outlets “misinterpreted” the overseas povision and the country wants merely to exercise its right to combat separatist movements abroad.'

"Lenin is dead.

We may feel for him that sort of forced admiration which strong men—even if deluded, even if wicked—who manage to leave a deep mark on history with their passage, elicit from the masses: Alexander, Julius Caesar, Loyola, Cromwell, Robespierre, Napoleon. But he, even with the best of intentions, was a tyrant, the strangler of the Russian Revolution, and we who could not love him whilst he lived cannot mourn him in death.

Lenin is dead. Long live freedom!"

— Errico Malatesta (February 1924)

"On 13 July 1921, anarchists detained without charge in the Taganka prison in Russia ended their hunger strike after 11 days following the Central Committee of the Communist Party agreeing to allow most of them to leave Russia on pain of being shot if they tried to return.

"This zine was compiled with the goal of making accessible a critique of “tankism,” a reactionary ideological position that seems to be trending on the Left. Much like the alt-right, which in 2015 appeared to be an internet phenomenon with little potential to gain a foothold in the streets, tankies have fared well in the era of ascendant nationalisms. In North America they are making the jump from Twitter to our offline communities.

Those of us who believe in a world of radically expanded freedom and the end of domination must contend with the zombified corpse of the 20th Century’s authoritarian Left."

No, "democratic" State practice is nothing more or less than State practice. It does not differ from Marxist State practice, Fascist State practice, or any other.

Here is the Golden Rule of sound citizenship, the first and greatest lesson in the study of politics: you get the same order of criminality from any State to which you give power to exercise it; and whatever power you give the State to do things for you carries with it the equivalent power to do things to you.

— Albert Nock, The Criminality of the State (1939)
