There is an unresolvable tension present in the valleys, mountains, deserts, jungles, and highlands of the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, between the communal forms of social organization, and the forms and subjects of the State and capital. This tension dates back to the so-called conquest, and has remained permanent, although with different intensities, over the past 500 years. It’s been often said that Oaxaca is communal, and it’s worth repeating. Different structures and expressions of community life—communal land, community assemblies, collective work, and communal festivities—are pres ..read more

Thousands took part in mass direct actions and blockades on Monday, in protest of the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing within the occupied Palestinian territories by the state of Israel and supported directly by the United States.

As the A15 Actions account wrote: Over 65 cities, 19 countries and six continents took collective ris ..read more

Statement from the International Antifascist Defense Fund on the ongoing repression of community organizers in Texas. You might recall a certain degree of hysteria and pearl-clutching among right-wing media pundits when they found out that their cherished 2nd Amendment rights also applied to anti-fascists. This became abundantly clear to them when pistol-packing transphobes intent on disrupting a drag show in Texas and possibly making good on their threats to murder the attendees were stopped in their tracks by the presence of the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club. Of course, transphobes and their ..read more
