Didn't stay in Ukraine & fight to the death when faced w/ pogroms & state repression, fled to Argentina. After 21 years in prison, went to Spain & didn't fight to the death there either, then France & didn't fight to the death there either. Still braver than any "anarchist" in Ukraine's army today.

#OtD 10 Nov 1891 Jewish Ukrainian anarchist, Simón Radowitzky, was born. At 15, he took part in the 1905 Russian Revolution, killed a police chief in Argentina at 18, endured 20 years of prison, fought fascism during the Spanish Civil War, and more stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1264...

Blocking @anarchistmemes.org for being a garbage account using garbage AI and spreading garbage ideas. No one is illegal on stolen land.

From 1759-1763, Bostonians were celebrating British victories in the inter-colonial French & Indian War. But they didn't want to have to pay taxes to fund the military forces that were stealing land for them & protecting them from Native resistance. Same theme would recur with the Whiskey Rebellion.

Before Mussolini had his Blackshirts and Hitler his Brownshirts, Democrats in the South had their Redshirts.

ABC Belarus have updated the list of signatories for their statement about being ineligible for a pro-war presentation at an anarchist bookfair in Berlin to include Oleksandr Kolchenko, a person who openly, repeatedly praises the fascist UPA on his facebook account & the fascist Azov Regiment here:

On this day in 1975, the United Nations General Assembly adopts Resolution 3379, which "determines that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination," with 72 votes in favour, 35 votes against, and 32 abstentions.

#OtD 10 Nov 1970 Puerto Rican radicals from the Young Lords took over Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx. Over 600 people, including health workers, joined them to publicise the flagrant disregard for human life in NYC hospitals stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8235...

Last night I posted Lake Superior skeets as we hit the 50th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Of course the Gordon Lightfoot song is a big reason we remember it. It’s a great song! Not just the words but how the music shifts behind them to fill in the scene. youtu.be/FuzTkGyxkYI?...

#OtD 10 Nov 1995 Ken Saro-Wiwa, Ogoni indigenous author and activist, was hanged by the Nigerian state for resisting Royal Dutch Shell, alongside eight other Ogoni people. They had organised nonviolent resistance to destruction of Indigenous lands stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8237...

ABC Dresden: "They deny others the right to decide how to defend themselves against such a destructive fascist regime and thus present themselves as morally righteous." But ABC Dresden is not talking about conscription (a real denial of rights), they're talking about exclusion from a little fair.

The anti-imperialism of fools is when you stop opposing imperialism because someone else is a fool, causing one to ask, "who is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?"

Anti-anti-imperialism is also known as imperialism.

The main problem isn't that Western states are attacking countries in the Middle East and killing civilians (or that states like Canada and Ukraine made statements supporting those attacks), it's that sub-state leftists have bad ideas.

“The press, as usual, in dealing with this incident, strives to belittle & cast ridicule upon Venezuela & the sympathetic nature of her sons in order to magnify & extol the merit that we ought to possess ourselves.” from the Tacoma anarchist journal, Why? historyiswhat.noblogs.org/post/2025/11...

There is a typo in this article (I read the paper version at the library, the online version is paywalled) where racist, unwelcoming Nova Scotians are referred to as "Americans". The online version still has this error as well.

"Iran-backed hackers steal and post plans for Australia's new $7 billion infantry fighting vehicles following attack on Israeli arms companies"

"...anti-immigration attitudes range from the benign belief that we should reduce immigration levels to the racist demand for mass deportations." The "benign" belief is also racist. No one is illegal on stolen Native land.

The state is doing a great job stopping climate change. I'm sure it'll work out eventually.

It's interesting that when an American sees Manifest Destiny propaganda artwork from the 1860s-70s being reused today their instinct is to displace responsibility for it onto 1930s Germans.

Constitutional Bigfoot.

"...Voltairine de Cleyre, celebrated colonial violence against Indigenous Peoples in her 1912 essay 'Direct Action.' That it has never... come to the attention of students of anarchism to address her example as settler colonial defense against Indigenous Peoples, is a glaring reality."

Israeli forces kill several people across Gaza, as settlers and military continue attacks in the occupied West Bank.

The war in Ukraine isn't abstract for people in other regions because those other regions are arming & training Ukraine (and Israel), and 100 percent of Ukraine's uranium for its nuclear power plants now comes from a Canadian company, in part because of the war.

The bravery of going against anarchist anti-militarist thought, which is a tiny minority, and going with state/capitalist militarist thought instead, which is the vast majority, and has billions of dollars in funding.

Germany is number two supplier (after the US) of weapons to both Israel & Ukraine. Germany has a history of committing genocide & not just in Europe. But today, some anarchists want to promote, at an anarchist event in Germany, state militarism & capitalist arms industries, then cry victim for promo

"Western media is largely ignoring that Kyiv has to rip young men off the streets amid recruitment shortages and desertions"

The Whiskey Rebellion was in part a settler reaction to the multiple military defeats that American forces had just suffered in the Northwest Indian War and the increased taxation of beer & liquor to pay for expansion of the army in order to steal Native land. It was tied up in colonialism too.

Today is Indigenous Veterans Day in Canada. Something that gets lost amongst the talk of the high rate of enlistment of Native persons is that Canada had conscription during the world wars, not to mention the socio-economic conscription of imposed social conditions.

#tdih 1892. When Board of Trade said it would sign agreement with indiv. unions, but not Triple Alliance with primarily Black workers, more than half NOLA's workforce launched labor strike. They said NO to racist "divide and conquer" tactics. #TeachTruth Read ⬇️ zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ma...

With regard to toxic drug poisoning deaths, First Nations women died at 8.5 times the rate of other BC women in Jan-June 2025 and First Nations men died at 4.6 times the rate of other BC men in the same period. The toxic drug crisis is also colonial and solutions are being suppressed by government.

A heavy music festival in Blackfeet Nation this summer was abut more than just music – it was a protective ceremony to shelter Indigenous youth from suicidal distress. buff.ly/aQQC7EX

Not made public until victory at the Battle of Kemp's Landing, Nov. 15, during which American Patriot politician Joseph Hutchings was captured by the very people he'd formerly enslaved, the order infuriated the slave-holder Thomas Jefferson, as reflected in a Declaration of Independence grievance.

When you normalize militarism and sociopathy within the anarchist scene.

Today in #LaborHistory 11/7/1837: Abolitionist Elijah Lovejoy was killed by pro-slavery mob in Alton, Illinois, while defending his print shop from being destroyed a 3rd time. When #JohnBrown heard about it, he said: "From this time, I consecrate my life to the destruction of #slavery." #abolition

They say Westerners don't have enough standpoint epistemology to understand why the Right Sector red&black/blood&soil flag here, referencing a Ukrainian organization (OUN) that allied with Hitler & did pogroms in WWII is actually not so bad. Nevermind that Canadians & Yanks went to Europe in WWII.

"Alberta RCMP officers won't be charged in fatal shooting of 15-year-old [Cree] boy: police watchdog"

On this day in 1888, the anarchist Nestor Makhno is born.

On this day in 1917, the October Revolution begins in Russia. The Petrograd Military Revolutionary Committee consists of 48 Bolsheviks, fourteen Left Socialist-Revolutionaries, and four anarchists.

#tdih 1841, Madison Washington & 18 other enslaved people aboard "Creole" (en route Richmond to NOLA) rebelled & sailed ship to Bahamas where most secured freedom, one of largest US slave revolts. Via @blackpastonline.bsky.social, "The Creole Mutiny," more. ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/th...

"Antifa materials" is intended to sound sinister but the government is talking about ESSAYS. If you read literature the regime disapproves of, you might be a terrorist, too.
