    I’m no priest, I blame no one; I point causes. In an unequal system (capitalism), there is not the same responsibility depending of our power on the mean of production. The representation that picture fascism of the unions or anti-racist collectives exists, but are marginal. Mass media like in Hollywood, mainstream comics or how History is presented on TV has way more impact. I’m not saying that the bourgeoisie is more or less fascists than other classes. I’m saying that in letting their in command, we let their point view and biaises shape our representations. No judgement their, just description.

    We could go further, and say the most someone is close to the ruling class, the less someone will met contradictions.

    Bourgeoisie has depicted fasciscts as vilains, evil and monstruous. Now when people discovered that nazis are just humans, their are surprised. Spoiler: people could act nice, honest, and even involve in charity, and still aim to enslave or mass kill others.

    Lots of neurodivergent and antifascists, and sureley around your place. Not being a fascists scum make you already priceless. Maybe their is some collective that could help you to get some distance, or at least have some break. Antifa orga, unions, sportive association, neighborhood association … Solidarity comrade.



  • I don’t remember one anarchist revolution where the lord of wars emerged. Not in Ukraine, not in Spain, not in Korea, not in Chiappas. However, hierarchical organization do create lord of wars; from bolcheviks to fascists, including liberal regimes. And European Union is not the last to create dictatorship elsewhere through its imperialism.

    For info, mass media in Europe don’t give a shit about authoritarianism in the US. They just talk about trade issue and taxes. This is not the freedom you’re looking for

    The class conscientiousness where not that high in Russia. And the vanguard party (the bolchevik) were severely weakened before the revolution. I don’t for others countries, but if “helping” consist in “stealing all the gold reserves, force self organized milicia to obey to officer coming from nowhere, and even attacking and killing selforganized workers”, yeah they definitely help.

    For information, their where not once mass organization on those vanguard and hierarchical line before the intervention of the USSR. Using materialism dialectic would have make USSR to back the revolutionary force, not trying to lead them at all costs.














  • It’s fun with this rhetoric, 'cause if you replace imperialism by capitalism, and country name with corporation name, we immediately see how confuse it is. “You can’t say Shell is capitalist, it’s not the global leader in the Petrolum Market. BT is”

    We are talking about system. The Federation of Russia engaged in a competition against NATO, which result in wars and economic predation for power and ressources.

    The same logic apply for Iran and China, but not on the same scale. A state is structured with the current international relationship; it need to gather power to secure its existence. Exactly like a corporation. North Korea is weak example of imperialism, not because it would be “socialist”, but because it is losing the competition against other states.

    That’s why strong workers organisations where independent from states and political parties. And that’s why we may mobilize first and mainly (but not only) against our one State imperialism, in order to not feeding this international competition.

    And if you think that’s their is no colonial history in Russia, you may think again. The Eastern conquest had some similarity with the western one in the USA.
