News from the Front: The Reflections of a Russian Anarchist in Rojava

The reflections of a Russian anarchist in northeastern Syria on the defeat of Assad, the withdrawal of Putin's troops, and the threat from Turkey.

One way to prepare for the second Trump era is to organize a screening of "Fell in Love with Fire," a feature-length documentary about the popular uprising that swept Chile in 2019. It explores how demonstrators took control of the streets while remaining leaderless.

As Turkish proxy forces prepare to invade northeastern Syria in order to carry out ethnic cleansing targeting the Kurdish population, it's important to understand the roots of Turkish fascism.

The Roots of Turkish Fascism

How did an autocratic government gain control in Turkey, forging an alliance between a once-secular nationalism and fundamentalist Islam?

Although Assad has fallen, the tragedies in Syria continue. The Syrian National Army, a Turkish proxy force, has captured the city of Manbij and aims to storm Kobane next. Turkey intends to conquer all Rojava and carry out ethnic cleansing there. In 2014, with the tacit support of the Turkish government, the Islamic State took over most of northern Syria, carrying out massacres as they gained ground. In the town of Kobane, locals managed to halt their advance only a few miles from the Turkish border. Now, Kobane is at risk once again. In Rojava, multiethnic militias including anarchist volunteers from around the world did most of the fighting and dying in the struggle against the Islamic State. Now the international community is preparing to look away while they are massacred. We must not let this happen. As in 2019—the last time Turkey mounted a major offensive against Rojava—solidarity actions are urgently needed.

Call to Action: Solidarity with Rojava—Against the Turkish Invasion!

We are calling for people around the world to take action at Turkish consulates, US government offices, arms manufacturers, and elsewhere.

We can imagine FBI agents investigating the killing of the UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson struggling to make a *short list* of people who have been wronged by the insurance company. How did insurance companies become so hated? Modern-day insurance has its origins in grassroots mutual aid programs such as the "Friendly Societies" in which workers motivated by care for one another would pool their resources and take care of each other. Insurance only became a racket after this model was captured by the state and for-profit corporations. Though the proponents of capitalism and the state claim that centralization and privatization are essential for scaling up social infrastructure and making it run "more efficiently," state bureaucracy and for-profit models have chiefly served to concentrate control over everyone's lives in the hands of a few oligarchs. And the more unevenly power is distributed in a society, the more volatile that society is bound to be.

WTO Anniversary Reading List Today marks 25 years since anarchists and other protesters shut down the summit of the World Trade Organization in Seattle. This was the public debut of what journalists dubbed the “anti-globalization movement”—in fact, a global movement against neoliberal capitalism. This analysis explores the origins of that movement and what it can teach us today:

Epilogue on the Movement against Capitalist Globalization

22 years after the victory against the World Trade Organization in Seattle, what can we learn from the networks that gave rise to that movement?

*** For a strategic analysis of how anarchists and other rebels were able to successfully blockade the WTO summit, we recommend "Netwar in the Emerald City," included in our zine N30, which you can print here:

*** In 1999, opposing neoliberalism was an extremist position. Decades later, Donald Trump appropriated this narrative and rode it to victory. This was only possible because of reformist currents in the original movement—and because we hadn't overthrown capitalism ourselves.

Studying the WTO protests, we can learn how a relatively small number of people can act effectively when they organize horizontally and ambitiously—and grasp the stakes of today's fights. The struggle continues. 🏴

The billionaires want us to spent our lives on a treadmill of exploitation and consumption—producing a profit for them in the workplace, then buying back the products of our labor in our leisure time so they get us coming and going. No wage, and nothing we could buy on the market, could make it worth giving up the precious hours of our lives and turning the world over to their destructive control. We only do those things because we have not yet worked out how to defend ourselves. But the hour is becoming late, indeed.
