CrimethInc. Ex-Workers' Collective

Once again, anarchists are in the news and there is confusion about what "anarchism" is. Anarchists oppose all forms of domination—every mechanism that imposes disparities in wealth and power, that prevents us from fulfilling our potential on our own terms. Anarchy is the opposite of autocracy. 🏴

We are relieved to see that another Bolsonaro will not take power in Brazil. But only grassroots action can address the deeper issues at play. “If Bolsonaro wins, they kill us—if Lula wins, they let us die.” crimethinc.com/2026/09/29/i...

If you’re reading this, you’re probably a target of NSPM-7, Trump’s effort to criminalize all resistance. It’s time we got organized to fight back. The NSPM-7 Defendant’s Union presents a collective defense pledge, repression tracker, handbills, and more. crimethinc.com/NSPM7Defenda...

France is erupting in resistance. How did we get here? Our Paris correspondent traces the development of the student rebellion that led to the explosion of October 17, from the colonial history of the banlieues to a blow-by-blow account of events in the streets. crimethinc.com/FranceRevolt...

"I have friends everywhere."

Young people are right to take the streets against the political and economic systems that have sold away their future and ours. Facing the bleak prospects capitalism is imposing on us all, it is right to resist. ➡️ crimethinc.com/2015/05/05/f...

More and more people are focusing on the midterm elections. But whether Trump's underlings retain power or the Democrats prevail, neither party will deliver the changes we need. There are no shortcuts. We must organize to make those changes ourselves. crimethinc.com/votingversusda A thread. 🧵⬇️

While students blockade schools in France and set fire to the Education Ministry in Albania, people across Spain and Catalunya are occupying plazas and mobilizing to stop evictions. Our correspondents in Madrid and Barcelona offer a view from within the movement: crimethinc.com/Maricarmen

Anyone who has been paying attention has known for years that Trump will not leave power voluntarily. This time, he has installed loyalists atop all of the agencies that refused to support him in 2020. That means we need strategies to exert leverage via direct action. crimethinc.com/TurningTide

Amsterdam police seized a server belonging to the Autistici/Inventati Collective at the request of the US government, following the categorization of the internet service provider as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” on the grounds that the collective opposes fascism. crimethinc.com/noblogs

Voting consolidates the power of our whole society in the hands of a few politicians, keeping everyone else in a position of dependence. Through direct action, we become familiar with the resources and capabilities and initiative of our communities, discovering how much we can accomplish together.

With a new $100 million domestic spy program, ICE aims to map your social relationships. The goal is not just to terrorize immigrants, but to repress all dissent. As the Democrats look to return to office, we must make it clear that anyone who does not oppose this by all means is an accomplice.

And the city took it down 3 days later, along with 2 other columbus statues throughout the city It's not Chicago, but Zhegagoynak (Potawatomi), Zhigaagong (Ojibwe), Zaagawaang (Odawa), Šikaakonki (Myaamia, or Miami), Shekâkôheki (Sauk), Sekākoh (Menominee) and Gųųšge honąk (Ho-Chunk). #FuckColumbus

As some people observe what they call #ColumbusDay, we fondly recall a protest in Chicago in 2020 during which demonstrators outwitted and outfought police officers, winning an opportunity to try to topple a hated statue of Christopher Columbus. crimethinc.com/GrantPark

Of the first 500 enslaved Indigenous people that Christopher Columbus sent back to Spain, 250 died en route. Over the following decades, hundreds of thousands more died working in the gold mines and sugar plantations of Hispaniola and resisting Spanish domination. Today, we honor their resistance.

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have always been politically aligned—global oligarchs versus the rest of us. If you want to understand what Trump aims to do in the US, look at what Putin has done in Russia. You could start with the situation for political prisoners: crimethinc.com/Russia2026

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, author of The Gulag Archipelago, has something to say to us today: “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: what would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive..."

La lucha de los estudiantes de secundaria franceses crece día a día a pesar de la represión CrimethInc. Otro verano sin precedentes, con olas de calor récord, sequías e incendios forestales en toda Europa, subraya la desesperada situación a la que nos enfrentamos hoy en día, mientras que los…

Things are slowly heating up. While they are still simmering, it's a good time to review skills for street protests. Unfortunately, everyone should read "A Demonstrator’s Guide to Responding to Gunshot Wounds" in order to be prepared for a worst-case scenario. Hopefully, you'll never need it. 🤞

People are taking the streets now from France and Spain to New York City and Arizona—against police, against ICE, against gentrification, against ethnic cleansing and genocide. All of these are elements of a system that treats us as expendable. Find each other and resist. crimethinc.com/meltice

What did in New York City today is horrific. What they did everywhere else today is horrific, too—and they would have murdered a lot more people by now if we hadn't mobilized to stop them. They still aim to do so as soon as they can. Fight to the death. Abolish ICE. 🏴 crimethinc.com/escalation2026

University students and unions are joining French high-school students in the streets to stand up to the government that is immiserating them and the police who are attempting to suppress them. All around the world, we see the same austerity measures and state violence. crimethinc.com/France2026

Voting is only possible at election time. Direct action can be applied all year round. Voting is only useful for addressing whatever topics are in the candidates' current political agendas. Direct action can be applied in every aspect of life. Unlike elections, direct action is under your control.

Last month, authorities evicted 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal, 87 on a stretcher from her apartment of more than 70 years because she couldn't afford rent increases—sparking protests across Spain. Now she has passed away. Honor the dead and fight like hell for the living. Smash gentrification. 🏴

Even when our preferred candidates win and introduce the policies we desire, another election can snatch all those gains away. Only that which we gain by our own collective strength cannot be taken from us. Let's start building that strength. We desperately need profound social change.

Yesterday, Border Patrol evicted the tree occupation blocking the border wall construction at Lochiel, Arizona. Today, despite arrests and further repression, people occupied a tree on the south side of the easement, once again halting construction. crimethinc.com/meltice#ariz...
