that coexists with the real estate mafias & with institutional corruption is not democratic.

That is to say, there is no "democratic" antifascism that does not fight the capitalist system and does not confront its street guardians: the Nazis.

Different time/place, could just as well be today's USA.

"The objective of insisting with this argumentation is to socially isolate the real antifascist mvmnt, the one that fights in the street because it understands that fascism is a tool of capitalism

The front and back cover of the zine "Make Ready: Safeguarding Our Movements against Repression."

The back cover reads "Everyone who is
against fascism is
an anti-fascist. In
seeking to target
everyone who opposes
fascism, Trump is
biting off more than
he can chewβ€”provided
we don’t roll over
and let him win."

There is also a CrimethInc. logo.

Donald Trump is trying to criminalize opposition to fascism. What are the real threatsβ€”and how can people prepare for them?

We've prepared a zine version of "Make Ready: Safeguarding Our Movements against Repression."

This is where we are.

This man is a professor. Who has written a book. About antifascism. He’s just one of many in this situation; and his situation is just one amongst a sea of varied horrors that MAGA fascism is unleashing on society.

But this is where we are. Don’t look away.

"...with organization, coordination, & w/everyone at their best, they can bring all the riot police they want, things get done anyways."

Brighter note, today just as relevant- @miquelramos.bsky.social on the actions following Carlos' murder.

Keep showing up, we'll reach that critical mass again.

For context, Carlos Palomino was a 16 year old antifascist, stabbed in the heart by a Nazi soldier in Madrid while on his way to oppose a fascist demonstration.

As I translate @miquelramos.bsky.social book on post-Franco antifascism in "Spain," I'm struck by how relevant & timely everything continues to be. The above is in ref. to the debate following the Nazi murder of Carlos, but applies 1-1 to the current criminalization of antifascism in general.

"A comrade has died & we’re fucked, but it's a unique occasion: to be able to explain to our mothers, to our co-workers, that they are killing us for defending equality, because no one thinks they are superior for being white or for being born here."

Milei is coming to Villa Crespo. To talk abt. the financial crisis? About US military exercises on ARG soil in exchange for a bailout from his MAGA friends? About their candidate’s narco ties?

No. To present his book abt. β€œthe construction of the miracle.”

The neighborhood will be waiting for him.

040: What the Hell is Antifa? feat. Christopher Mathias

had an amazing in-depth conversation w/ @jaredlholt.bsky.social & @michaelehayden.bsky.social about the history of the antifa bogeyman in America, what antifa is in the MAGA imagination, and what Trump's executive order declaring antifa "domestic terrorists" means

What Liberals Get Wrong About Trump's Executive Order on Antifa Liberals dismiss antifa as just an idea. That opens up the activists, researchers, and organizers to a real risk of persecution.

"If we are going to foster a thriving, powerful movement equal to this dangerous moment, we must not surrender β€œantifa” to Trump’s whims and the worst fantasies of our opponents. The health and safety of our friends, family, and society may depend on it." theintercept.com/2025/09/27/t...

When states repress resistance movements for alleged terrorism, they always make the case that the root problem is ideas.

We see that on full display here.

The end game is obvious: destroy the ideas.

To a significant extent, the ability to wage lawfare is exactly the point. It weakens us, occupies our time, & from a propaganda standpoint the accusations are usually what sticks in the public recollectionβ€” nobody remembers or even hears about the eventual dismissed charges.
