10 Anarchist Theses on Palestine Solidarity in the United States

The strategy of solidarity reached its limits long ago. Solidarity today is an industry of conferences, lectures, book talks, and ritualistic protests—symbolic solidarity. The war on Gaza has exposed the clear limits on solidarity movements in the United States. Palestine solidarity is an extreme case in point in a much larger development of solidarity activism and politics.

Against the Party of Insurrection: A Look at Appelism in the U.S.

"Appelism is an informal strain of authoritarian communism that has been gaining traction on this continent over the past decade or so. Taking up elements of both the revolutionary party structure and insurrectionary anarchism, this tendency rebrands authoritarian communism as something that looks like informal networks but acts like a party.

Appelists generally do not present themselves as appelists. The term 'appelist' refers to The Call (L'Appel in the original French) by the Invisible Committee, written by some of the same authors as the 1999 journal Tiqqun. This is why 'appelists' are sometimes also called 'tiqqunists.' Both are terms popularized by anarchists to counteract appelists’ claims that they do not have an ideology or established political network."

Cars as Cameras

Cars, especially newer vehicles with built-in computer systems, know everything about their users and, consequentially, the peo- ple around them. Tesla is taking this a step further, turning cars into mobile, high-definition video surveillance systems. [...] What should anarchists take away from this? How can we continue to attack this panoptic hellscape and get away with it?

December 8th Affair Trial in France

An interview from The Final Straw featuring the words of anarchists involved in or doing support for the December 8th Affair in France. 9 people were arrested at the end of 2020, following Movement for Black Lives protests. The French state is asserting, based on some pretty flimsy arguments, that 7 radical and anarchist folks were a part of a conspiracy to engage in terrorism based on their common connection to an activist recently returned from the YPG's fight against Daesh or ISIS in Rojava. This activist goes by the name Libre Flot, or Free Flow, and he shares some words here as well.

From the Galilee to Gaza

Corporate media outlets in Europe and North America focus attention on Israeli suffering rather than exploring the series of events that led to this situation. The vast majority of all perspectives on the situation are coming from outside Palestine. It is important to hear directly from Palestinians, who understand better than anyone else how the situation reached this point.

Interview with Palestinian Anarchists

Black Rose / Rosa Negra (BRRN) reached out to Fauda, a small group centered in the West Bank that identifies itself as a Palestinian anarchist organization, to get its perspective on the current struggle. Fauda is a group that is new to us, and which we don’t have more information about beyond the interview presented here and what can be found in their public channels. Other than edits for clarity across translation, the content of this interview is presented unaltered. We want to thank our Palestinian and Arabic-speaking friends for their help with conducting and translating this interview. We also want to extend our gratitude to the representative of Fauda members, thoughtfully engaged with our questions during a moment of extreme uncertainty and violence.
