There are dozens of videos and social media posts where the right wing / Trump support are spewing venom at the cops for you know, doing cop stuff as they cycle back into the "we're the underdog" narratives now their man is heading out of office. 1/
They seem utterly ignorant that even as they carry on with themselves the police reaction is significantly less hostile than it was against similar "leftist" events.

This is the energy that they'll be bringing for the "Spitting our dummy out" march later.

Stay safe DC x

Something something "bussed in protestors"...

Here they are straight up making stuff up to justify this change in patter. Image

Like fuck Twitter etc etc (should need saying really I mean we're the fucking Anarchist Federation) but it's important to understand that their (very late) removal of Trump for "Risk of further incitement of violence" is for reasons.

This is the shite his support are sharing. 1/ Banner for "Million Mi...
Tho he conceded (without saying "I lost") I think pretty much everyone agrees he's quite capable of causing the missing militias and street fash that support him to turn up the 20th and make the Coup Klux Klan look like a bunfight.

Literally know one trusts the fucker atm. 2/ Headline from ABC news that...
Trumps current situation, and how bad the events played, is already pretty fatal like, just don't underestimate his narcissism.

p.s. Corporate fucks only take these decisions in the interests of their social and political capital.

They are not on side. -R

Look, I didn't like Ashli Babbitt's politics, I laugh at the hypocrisy of the fash's actions yesterday and there is a degree of "oh well".

However it's utterly disgusting that so many comrades across the board are celebrating a police murder 1/ Two photos of Ashli Babbitt.
Her death was justifiable by the metric of the stoic libertarian, "she breached a barricade and got shot" or "do stupid things, win stupid prizes", but it is not justifiable by ours.

The state should not go around murdering people. End off.

2/
Yeah, if BLM and Anarchist comrades tried what they did yesterday they would of been massacred, sure.

The lack of experianced right wing leadership on the street, the police understaffing etc it all stinks, and I get that people hate Trump support and relish schadenfreude 3/

Capital Hill Riot.

I watch these scenes and I think, Well heck, not only are they absolute hypocrites they come took r jobs! It's Anarchists who should be storming the joint!

(This scene was shortly before the shooting, which to me looked like a misfire, but maybe not IDK.)

Then I remember instead of mostly street cops with little more than high viz and a whistle my comrades were up against militerised death brigades.

When they came to demand justice for the murder of black men they were met persistantly with firearms, tear gas, Bearcats, dogs, a fucking helicopter at one point....

Jeez, The right wing? ... well... Pass the fucking Pepsi.

We often get asked by folks "Do you know anyone in X or Y" and it's clear a lot of us are disconnected, even in the cities.

In my experiance after major events in the US/turle Island, such as todays march in DC, there are days of debate and discussion across social media.

Not all of this is in bad faith and lot's of it is the fielding right leaning and liberal questions about Anarchism.

1/ An illustration of one man ...
Not everyone has the energy or inclination to take this on especially given the pre-established patterns of sea-lioning and aggression from the right wing especially.

I just wanted to say it's ok to tag us (@AnarchistFed) or @AnarchistAsk into a thread.

This might be answering some finer detail you are not sure about or just tagging us in to address some bullshit mis-info.

As anarchists we seek to win the leadership of ideas within the working class and well, argue the case for anarchist communism. 3/ A cartoon of a frog on a mu...

We believe in prison abolition as one of the principles of Anarchism. It's a complex issue but one founded in "more compassion and support = a better happier society"

How we treat people we are "angry at" on a social level, says a lot about us. 1/
Norway's recidivism rate is 20%, prior to the reforms of the last 60's/70's, they had a punative system which saw recidivism in the 90 percentile for young offenders.

So now they are held up by liberals as the shining light of reform, compassion having proven results.
2/
Listen. the Scandinavian communities are not an end goal.
They are still capitalist systems.

Norway still steals the liberty from 72 of every 100,000 people, overwhelmingly for crimes relating to economy and state.

Reform is not enough. Never will be.
