There is war other than class war. In ukraine, it's already going into its third year. In troubled times, with several conflicts that popped up in 2023, it's hard to bear in mind that russia is still trying to annihilate its "brother nation". Our focus slips, we are getting tired of this war. So are the ukrainians, but every day they are forced to stay awake
Ordinary ukrainians don't want that, nor do they want the Freedom they fought for being erased. Anarchists in ukraine feel the same. They know that the common cause, currently, is a fight for Liberty. Not for the state, for a president, for corrupt elites and definitely not for NATO. It's a fight for Freedom. Without it, there will be no more base for any political participation or activity that isn't controlled by Moscow.
During the last year, anarchists in the West were debating if this fight for "the lesser evil" can still be called revolutionary. Discussing this, within the safety of gatherings like the RIA that was held in Switzerland, seems almost cynical. The "lesser evil" might become revolutionary, when hostile tanks are approaching your house.
We don't deny the contradiction that the situation provokes for us and our movement. But we believe that anarchism has always been flexible enough not only to adapt to challenging situations, but also to be empathic with those in need. Anarchism became popular, because it has proven itself as a strategy of common people. It also lost significance because it couldn't connect with popular struggles anymore. Helping ukrainians to preserve their language, culture and self-determination, does not only match with core values of anarchism, it will also enable the movement to write history, rather than being some chapter in history books.
In order to raise awareness and recap a very moved year, in which we lost many great comrades, Alerta Stop Russian Propaganda has selected several articles, podcasts and videos. Pass it on to your friends, discuss it and get involved. As a group or alone, You matter and You can make a difference.

Bizar, of course there is
Bizar, of course there is Russian propaganda, but antimilitarism is an important part of anarchist tradition, so be carefull what you shout these days.
also: stating that something
also: stating that something is a part of a tradition is in itself a valid anarchist argument, of course ...
Well with anarchists that is,
Well with anarchists that is, because if something becomes a tradition it is because the 'members' think it is worth keeping. Anti-semitism did not become a tradition, for instance, even though Proudon and Bakunin thought it to be important. But if the phrase was unclear, my bad, sorry. I did not choose this English language that I did not grow up in. What I meant to say is that antimilitarism, for good reasons, has been a central value in anarchist thinking and practice for a long time. And is now being thrown in the garbage can with very bad arguments, if any. Nu jij weer.

I don't see any bad arguments
I don't see any bad arguments for supporting Ukraine against Russian fascist imperialism. I only see spoiled western anarchists who in complete safety use their freedom to have abstract debates about militarism and objectively supporting a Putinist agenda, whilst Ukrainians have to do the fighting.
Putin zit daar omdat de NATO
Putin zit daar omdat de NATO niet werd afgeschaft en de rest is daar het gevolg van.
De hele situatie is alleen de schuld van de NATO en daar hebben wij als electoraat in Nederland ook de politiek rechterlijke verantwoordelijkheid voor!
Dus elke Nederlander en Europeaan van 18 jaar en ouder is voor de huidige situatie mede verantwoordelijk.
Wij staan dus elke dag bloot aan NATO propaganda in de media!
Dit zou zo door ene Graaff
Dit zou zo door ene Graaff kunnen zijn geschreven.
Onzinnige aannames en de verantwoordelijkheid bij andere neerleggen.
Alsof iemand van bijvoorbeeld 18 jaar oud de NATO zou kunnen hebben beïnvloed.
Dan kun je ook de schuld neerleggen bij het communisme, door de NATO een reactie daarop te noemen.
Begrijp dat het electoraat
Begrijp dat het electoraat van Nederland en Europa verantwoordelijk is voor wat onze regering doet en dus ook voor het NATO beleid.
Dat heet officieel politiek rechterlijke verantwoordelijkheid voor wat de regering doet.
Net zoiets als je straf rechterlijke verantwoordelijkheid in het verkeer op de openbare weg.
Ding Dong!
Uit wat je zelf hier vermeld
Uit wat je zelf hier vermeld “ electoraat van Nederland en Europa verantwoordelijk is voor wat onze regering doet“ blijkt wel dat je onzinnige gedachte kronkels hebt. Alsof het electoraat van Europa de Nederlandse politiek kiest.
Ding dong
Nee natuurlijk kiest het
Nee natuurlijk kiest het electoraat van Europa de Nederlandse regering niet.
Bedoelt wordt dat zowel het electoraat van Europa als ook het electoraat van Nederland mede verantwoordelijk is voor het NATO beleid en het organiseren/uitlokken van de oorlog in Ukraine.

"They know that the common
"They know that the common cause, currently, is a fight for Liberty. Not for the state, for a president, for corrupt elites and definitely not for NATO. It's a fight for Freedom."
The Freedom to be thrown in prison for 5 years for speaking negatively of Bandera or Shukhevych is a curious Freedom indeed. Or, you know, any of the other myriad of such practices by the regime that is imposed in the wake of these anarchists. Truly deserving of the name Freedom with a capital F.
"Without it, there will be no more base for any political participation or activity that isn't controlled by Moscow."
So where were these Ukrainian anarchists during the 2019 Alchevsk Ironworks strike? Or the 2020 Alchevsk Ironworks strike? Or the 2021 one? Or the 2019 Komsomolskaya mine strike? Or tbe 2020 one? And so on and so forth... These all seem to be "political participation or activity that isn't controlled by Moscow" do they not?
