kolektiva.socialWe all knew deep down that the democrats cared more about funding genocide in Gaza than they did about beating Trump. This time their loss can't even be blamed on 3rd party voters because they lost by several times more votes than total 3rd party votes.
As anarchists and leftists we are facing largely the same political landscape we've always faced, maybe just a bit worse than usual. Our role is the same, and for those of us who've been involved for years, we're better and much more experienced than when we started.
Our fight is not at a ballot box, we don't ever have to wait for an election to undermine our enemies and build up our networks of care and militancy. Our struggle is everywhere, and this is where we are needed the most. Despair will not defeat an empire.
For the anti fascists, we will do what we always have, identify, humiliate, expose, and destroy fascist organizing. Never let these bastards live without fear of us finding them and dragging their vile beliefs into the sunlight.
For the mutual aid organizers, we will do what we always have, strategize to get life saving resources to vulnerable neighbors, and show by example that we can have a society of care if we work towards it
For the anti repression folks and abolitionists, we will do what we always have, support the comrades who got locked up, fundraise legal support, teach people how to not get caught, and never leave behind one of our own.
For the artists, the writers and the propagandizers, we will do what we always have, give everyone glimpses of the possibilities for lives free of oppression and exploitation.
For the teachers, the historians, we will do what we always have, share histories of struggle, of victory and loss and strategy. To tie the love and rage of our current times to the legacy of love and rage that came before us.
To the on the ground protesters, we will do what we've always done, allow no peace for those who are destroying the world for money and power
To the vandals and the saboteurs, we will do what we've always done, shatter the illusion of control and order. Break the infrastructure of oppression, and by example show others it can be done with our hands.
To the parents, the carers, we will do what we've always done. Raise new lives and new voices with the love and confidence they need to take over the fight one day. It didn't start with us, it likely won't end with us.
To the distroists, the communicators, we will do what we have always done, spread and disseminate the news, the history, the instruction manuals, sow dissent wherever it may grow.
To the laborers, the workers, we will do what we've always done. Organize, inform, strike, take control, and undermine the bosses and the shareholders power over our work.
There are endless paths to resistance, there are so many victories within our grasp. Our diversity of tactics is our strength, our solidarity is our greatest weapon. If we never stop fighting, the fascists and the capitalists never truly win. All you need to do is start fighting and never ever stop

It’s possible to vote strategically or in your own interest, even if you don’t like the system and state. Fascists will vote to end democracy.
Great find.
