There was a world in which I was tempted to be charitable to the author of "Good Night Eurocentric Pride". The article in Tinderbox #9 which it is criticizing certainly had a limitation. On the one hand, it calls us towards a profoundly difficult task: to separate ourselves from the heavy legacy of organized confusion in which revolt has been conflated with its enemies.
This response is published anonymously and intended to be part of the current dialogue surrounding the harms of talking to the state surrounding the Prairieland cases. It's writers have been active in prisoner support, defendant support, and anti repression for several years, strongly support the DFW Support Committee and have a lot of for respect Fire Ant Movement Defense. If there was no respect present, this response would have been much shorter. Building, maintaining, and supporting infrastructures that can sustain mass anti repression campaigns and support cases like this with many defendants is an extremely important and useful thing, as we have seen in the recent cases in Minneapolis, politically targeted cases like Prairieland are only going to increase in frequency and audacity. Projects like Fire Ant Movement Defense are vital, which is why it is so important that our values regarding anti-repression have strong foundations and consistency.
In the wake of draconian sentences handed down to the Prairieland 8, each ranging from 30 to 100 years, much has been said about the role of Trump’s NSPM-7 in establishing new repressive tools for criminalizing activism. Less discussed has been the critical role of cooperation—by at least 6 of the Prairieland defendants—in securing these devastating convictions. While the terrain of repression is ever changing, what remains evergreen is our most powerful tool of anti-repression: the principle of non-cooperation with the state.

A series of (uncomfortable) conversations with anarchists across Europe, Ukraine, Belarus and Russia about the solidarity of resistance against occupation
In 1927, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were judicially murdered by the state of Massachusetts. These two Italian immigrants, workers and anarchists both, dedicated their lives to lighting the way toward a world free from capitalist exploitation and oppression under authoritarian governments. After a long and thoroughly unjust trial, where they were convicted of murder and robbery, the two men were electrocuted on August 23rd.
Social capital affects nearly every aspect of our lives, from employment and education to friendship and organising. By understanding how it operates—both its emancipatory potential and its capacity to reproduce domination—we can cultivate social relations that move us closer to anarchy.

July 13th has marked 7 years since that night you attacked that wretched Northwest Detention center, a concentration camp which holds our kin captive.
7 years since you were killed in combat by the Tacoma police.
Nothing forgiven, nothing forgotten.
From Autonomies by Tomás Ibáñez | translated by Julius Gavroche | introduction by José Luis Carretero
Tomás Ibáñez’s essay, “Anarchism at the crossroads”, is an intervention in a debate in the Spanish anarchist milieu, but the controversy is neither uniquely Spanish nor novel.

In Singapore the most dedicated and relentless group of activists, the ones who show up to every meeting, every rally, every protest, every direct action, and every even remotely anti-establishment activity, are as in many other places where they perform relentless entryism and co-option, the Marxist-Leninists;
