“Living as a Black person in America every day is an antifascist struggle,” Trevor, a Black activist with the antifa group NYC Anarchist Action, told me. “Any day you could end up on the plantation, which is the prison system. So every day is a war to some degree.”

“We talk about the Civil Rights Movement, but we can go back further than that,” Isaac told me. “When you talk about Nat Turner or Sojourner Truth, to take up arms against your oppressor and push back against them, that is antifascist work. When you talk about Nanny of the Maroons in the Caribbean or the Haitian Revolution, that is antifascist work. History has shown us, time and again, African people participating in antifascist work.”

On this day, 3 November 1918, the Kiel mutiny began in Germany, which ultimately ended World War I. Sailors refused to fight their officers’ suicidal offensive, and instead rebelled and raised red flags. The mutiny spread across the country and led to the revolution of 1918. This is a good article by Paul Mason explaining how the working class ended WWI: https://libcom.org/history/how-did-first-world-war-actually-end-paul-mason https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1253476994837448/?type=3

On this day, 31 October 1978, 30,000 oil workers went on strike in Iran marking one of the early actions of the Iranian revolution. The oil workers, as well as the workers’ and women’s movements in general, would have a large role to play in the revolution until they were crushed by followers of the religious fundamentalist Ayatollah Khomeini. This is a short history of the revolution: https://libcom.org/history/1978-1979-the-iranian-revolution https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1250690151782799/?type=3

“outside agitators” “outside agitators” “outside agitators” blah blah blah

sorry to just post lazy w!ki screenshots, but the remarkably similar historical precedent, y’know: Red Summer of 1919, white supremacist mobs, mass rioting nationwide, government blaming black self-defense and resistance on “outside agitators and anarchists” and then media/propaganda running with the story

-

US government just blatantly rehashing 100-year-old tactic

so basically democrats and republicans are going crazy because white people are supporting protests that sprung out of anti-black racism. they are terrified at the threat of multiracial class unity. 🧐
