Entender la autodisolución del PKK

¿Qué significa para Oriente Medio?

https://crimethinc.com/2025/07/13/entender-la-autodisolucion-del-pkk-que-significa-para-oriente-medio

El 12 de mayo de 2025, el PKK anunció su disolución tras más de cuatro décadas de lucha armada contra el Gobierno turco. Esto se produjo tras el llamamiento del líder encarcelado del PKK, Abdullah Öcalan, para que se disolviera la organización. El 11 de julio, los combatientes del PKK participaron en una ceremonia que simbolizaba el desarme. ¿Qué significará esto para los movimientos kurdos de liberación y para Oriente Medio en general?

At the beginning of Donald Trump's second term, centrists were arguing that Democrats should adopt far-right positions on immigration.

It's hard to imagine a more despicable, wrongheaded, and self-defeating strategy than chasing popularity by embracing the policies of actual fascists.

First—because it's wrong. Regardless of how many people endorse ethnic cleansing, we still have a responsibility to fight it. Seeking a middle ground between freedom and fascism only helps fascists to normalize their hateful ambitions.

Second—because ICE is the weapon they intend to use to consolidate totalitarian power. If they succeed, that weapon will eventually be used against centrists as well as immigrants and other targeted demographics.

Third—because as the human costs of Trump's anti-immigrant policies become clear, this will discredit those who supported or compromised with those policies. This has already happened to centrists over their complicity in the genocide in Gaza. As public opinion belatedly turns against Trump's immigration policies, it should also turn against centrists.

Finally—because public opinion doesn't emerge in a vacuum. We shape it via the things we say and do. We shouldn't pander to what is worst in people, but stand up for what is best in all of us.

The Republicans can't let go of the Epstein conspiracy because they themselves are implicated in the horrific mass child abuse carried out by ICE. They desperately need to be able to tell themselves that others are the ones who abuse children.

Conspiracy theories are a distraction from the horrors everyone already knows for certain.

Ако си харесвал да ходиш на училище, ще обичаш да ходиш и на работа. Мъчителната и безсмислена злоупотреба с властта, чрез която учители и директори са се разпореждали и са властвали над теб, както и заплахите и подигравките на съучениците ти, нe приключват със завършване на училището. Всички тези неща присъстват в света на възрастните. Ако си мислил, че преди ти е липсвала свобода, тогава само почакай да видиш как ще е, когато трябва да отговаряш пред началници, работодатели, бирници, хазяи, общинския съвет, съдилищата, полицията. Когато приключиш с училището, ти може да се отскубваш от властта на някои авторитети, но тогава попадаш под контрола на други, дори по-деспотични власти.

ТЪНКАТА СИНЯ ЛИНИЯ Е НАЖЕЖАЕМА ЖИЧКА

Защо всяка борба днес е и борба срещу полицията

"Напук на разпалването на широко разпространено обществено недоволство и дори с цената на грабежи и палежи, правовата система винаги ще защити полицейските служители от последствията за техните действия — защото без тях, самата тя нямаше да съществува."

Five years ago, demonstrators in Chicago outwitted police officers, winning an opportunity to topple a hated statue of Christopher Columbus. This footage shows the moment when they got the better of police, pinning them down under a hail of cans of LaCroix sparkling water.

Afterwards, the mayor was forced to have the statue removed from the park. It was one of scores of statues of colonizers, Confederates, slaveholders, and other racists removed thanks to the spirited demonstrations of summer 2020.

It's worth reading the account we published from that day:

On May Day 2025, Chicago officials announced that the statue will never return to Grant Park. But it wasn't the government that removed the statues—it was us, the people.

Το PKK Αυτοδιαλύεται

Τέλος εποχής ή νέα αρχή για τη Μέση Ανατολή;

https://crimethinc.com/2025/07/13/to-pkk-autodialuetai-telos-epokhes-e-nea-arkhe-gia-te-mese-anatole

Δεν διακυβεύεται μόνο η τύχη μιας ένοπλης οργάνωσης, αλλά ενός πολιτικού εγχειρήματος που έχει επαναπροσδιορίσει τα όρια του αγώνα σε ολόκληρη τη Μέση Ανατολή.

Right now—before the next wave of street protests—is the best time to learn how to make and use shields and reinforced banners.

Protect yourself and your community from rubber bullets, water cannons, batons, pepper spray, surveillance, and snatch squads.

“At some point, the police drove a water cannon directly at the crowd. A certain masked anarchist ran right up to it and smashed out the window before it could get a clear shot at us. The driver pulled away in a hurry.

“Well, that’s fucking crazy, I thought. Wow.”

As the saying goes—

If you're not an anarchist at twenty, you've got no guts.

If you're not an anarchist at thirty, you've got no heart.

If you're not an anarchist at forty, you've got no brains.
