Why celebrate May Day?
This year, in taking the streets, we are showing each other who is prepared to fight:
"Take a stand—we'll be there, too."
And every year, by coming together once more, we show that we are part of a story much greater than ourselves, a story that stretches back centuries.
Life reinventing itself in defiance of death.

Anarchiści na fali protestów w Indonezji
https://crimethinc.com/2024/09/23/anarchisci-na-fali-protestow-w-indonezji
W sierpniu 2024 r. Indonezją wstrząsnęła fala protestów, rzekomo w odpowiedzi na polityczne machinacje mające na celu namaszczenie następcy prezydenta Joko Widodo, popularnie zwanego Jokowi. W anglojęzycznym świecie pojawiło się bardzo niewiele informacji na temat tych protestów. Aby poznać głębsze aspekty tych wydarzeń, skontaktowaliśmy się z anarchistami z różnych części Indonezji.

We’ve prepared a poster in homage to Up Against the Wall Motherfucker, the self-styled “street gang with an analysis” active in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the late 1960s. They played an instrumental role in popularizing the concepts of affinity groups and direct action. The text is taken directly from an Up Against the Wall Motherfucker broadside.
In a time of escalating repression and desperation, it is bracing to revisit the avowed optimism of our revolutionary forebears. This optimism concerns not just whether it is possible to win, but what would constitute victory and who stands to benefit.

We've added a new "ink lite" version of our zine "There’s No Such Thing as Revolutionary Government," for those who want to make the case that the key to liberation is not to seize state power but to abolish it... without using up too much toner.

A year ago, students established an encampment at Columbia in solidarity with Gaza.
Donald Trump claims that the camp was a hotbed of antisemitism. Anyone who visited knows this is a lie. Who brutalized Jewish students at Columbia? The police did—to punish them for opposing genocide.
The Gaza solidarity encampments that sprang up around the US in response represented the most successful voluntary collaboration between Muslim and Jewish students taking place anywhere in the world. If university administrations claimed it was necessary to destroy them in order to "keep the peace," this reveals what they mean by peace.
In seeking to crush solidarity organizing and smear Jewish anti-Zionists as antisemitic, paving the way for Trump to deport students on account of their beliefs, the university administrations showed that centrism is not an alternative to authoritarianism, but a means of bringing it to power.
Horrifically, the genocide in Gaza continues. Free Palestine.

"Abolish ICE" sounded like a radical demand to Democrats, though ICE itself only dates to 2003.
Today, it should be clear to even the most deluded liberals that if you establish institutions for the sole purpose of brutalizing people, authoritarians will inevitably use them to consolidate power.

On April 29, Atlanta officials cut the ribbon on Cop City, a $117-million police militarization facility. It cost four times the original estimate—not counting the person murdered by police and the 61 people facing trumped up RICO charges.
And that's just the beginning.
The real costs are still in the future: the lives and freedoms that the police who train at this facility will take from us. Under the current regime, there can be no more illusions: every dollar that goes to police is a dollar for autocracy. Like Donald Trump, the city officials who suppressed the referendum on Cop City are making no pretense of democracy anymore.
At the same time, those who resisted Cop City have pointed the way to the kind of struggle it will take for us to get free. Now more than ever, it is crucial to learn from the fight to #StopCopCity.

For years, we warned that as soon as Donald Trump consolidated control of the state, Democrats' rhetoric that "No one is above the law" would be used against them.
Confronting a tyrannical regime, it's better to remember what Hannah Arendt said: “No one has the right to obey.”
https://crimethinc.com/becomeananarchist
"With Trump in control of the government, 'No one is above the law' is a self-defeating narrative. What happens when his lackeys in Congress pass new laws and the judges he appoints rule in his favor? Then all this rhetoric legitimizing the law as a good in itself will only strengthen Trump’s hand."
"Continuing to emphasize the centrality of law in objections to Trump’s agenda can only hamstring future movements, discouraging the emergence of the only kind of resistance that could offer any hope once he has completed his takeover of the federal government."

Longevity is important.
It is how we pass on collective memory from one movement to the next, from one generation to the next. It is how we let new participants know it is safe to invest themselves fully in this struggle, showing that it can be the calling of a lifetime, through the best of times and the worst of times.
We'll still be doing this next year—and in 30 years.

Every year, alongside many others, we observe April 15 as Steal Something from Work Day—an opportunity to reflect on the causes and implications of workplace theft.
https://crimethinc.com/StealfromWork2025
This year, we turn our focus to so-called “Robin Hood employees”—those who steal from their workplaces in order to share with others. Loss prevention professionals allege that Robin Hood employees inflict losses on corporations much more efficiently than ordinary shoplifters or employees who only steal for their own benefit.
In other words, when it comes to redistributing wealth, the most effective approach is not to take things for yourself, but to share them with everyone.

“This Hotel Is a Detention Center”
An Account from the Front Lines of the Fight against Deportations in 1999 France
https://crimethinc.com/Ibis1999
"As the first brave souls climb through the window and into the hallway, it becomes clear that the cops have something else in mind. They begin to push and shove people, trying to muscle them down the hallway and toward the stairs. Preferring to stick to the original plan, our comrades meet the baton swings with kicks and blows..."

Benito Mussolini's career of tyranny came to an end on this day in 1945.
Fascism is a spectacle glorifying domination at the expense of all that is beautiful in humanity. No matter how powerful our oppressors may appear, their lust for power is not the only force at work in the world.
"I await the end of the tragedy and—strangely detached from everything—I do not feel any more an actor. I feel I am the last of spectators." -Benito Mussolini, shortly before his death

It is urgent that we organize to confront tyranny.
But *how* we organize will determine whether agency is concentrated in a few hands or distributed horizontally to all.
And this will determine how effective, egalitarian, and resilient our organizing can be.

Two years ago today, three anarchists were killed in battle near Bakhmut: an American named Cooper Andrews, an Irishman named Finbar Cafferkey, and a Russian named Dmitry Petrov. People in our networks have shared undertakings with all three of these comrades over the years.
In this eulogy, we explore the life of Dmitry Petrov, which doubles as a snapshot of the past two decades of struggle in the post-Soviet world.
https://crimethinc.com/petrov
As the United States descends further into autocracy, we have much to learn from Dmitry, who courageously fought tyranny in Russia, Belarus, Syria, and Ukraine. 🏴

The billionaires know that fossil fuels and power-intensive AI are rendering the earth uninhabitable. That's what their bunkers are for.
But even more than bunkers, they're investing in surveillance and repression.
They're not afraid of the end of the world.
They're afraid we'll try to save it.

ICE posted—and then deleted—this advertisement on Instagram and the fascist-owned platform X/Twitter, announcing themselves as the thought police stopping ideas from entering the United States.
It's not just about attacking undocumented people, or immigrants, or dissidents—they aim to prevent thought itself.
If Hitler's Nazi Party were still in power today, its Instagram feed would look exactly like the ICE Instagram: a series of photographs of captured, brutalized human beings.
ICE represents fascism. Resist by all means.
