abolitionmediaArmed Struggle: Natural Response to Fascism: Martin Sostre, 1975“The question now is: What are we going to do about this murderous fascism?”One might not guess it from its title, but <a class="" href="https://www.martinsostre.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Martin Sostre </a>’s essay, “Armed Struggle: Natural Response to Fascism,” is a nuanced, careful, and eloquent consideration of political strategy in the context of repressive, totalitarian rule. Published in 1975 in the magazine <a class="" href="https://ia803206.us.archive.org/0/items/sparrowsnest-8433/sparrowsnest-8433.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Black Flag: Organ of the Anarchist Black Cross </a>, Sostre’s essay is partly a response to leftist critiques of the strategies of the controversial Symbionese Liberation Army, or SLA, whose acts of assassination, kidnapping, and armed-robbery were often deemed vanguardist, tactically-ill thought, and politically disastrous. Yet Sostre reads the theoretical manifesto of the SLA against the real-world political conditions in the United States, where in the 1970s, just as now, a set of “repressive fascist measures” were being implemented—from restoration of the death penalty to a system of total surveillance to “ infiltration, frame-ups, assassinations, brutalisations, de-humanisations, behaviour modification, and genocide.” In this light, Sostre asks, what should the popular response to fascism look like? If the political rhetoric of fascism is white supremacy and its primal political program is violence, can it only be challenged via appeals to humanity, calls for reform, or prayers for peace, democracy, and non-violence? Sostre is also clear, however, that the fight against fascism demands not a single strategy, but a range of strategies: the anti-fascist response must be “multi-dimensional,” “complex,” and able to meet people where they are.Born in East Harlem on March 20, 1923, <a class="" href="https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/04/14/507297469/how-one-inmate-changed-the-prison-system-from-the-inside" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Martin Ramirez Sostre </a>, was an Afro-Puerto Rican revolutionary anarchist. After a short stint in the army and a longer period of hustling, Sostre opened the legendary Afro Asian Book Shop at 1412 Jefferson Avenue in Buffalo, NY. The bookstore became a political and pedagogical refuge for many during the urban strife and whitesupremacist warfare that rocked the city in the late 1960s. In 1967, Sostre and co-worker <a class="" href="https://www.thebuffalocriterion.com/local-news-1/2ospmr3z608hyleh59hdpgz2cmhl10" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Geraldine Robinson </a> were arrested on COINTELPRO <a class="" href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://video.alexanderstreet.com/watch/frame-up-the-imprisonment-of-martin-sostre&ved=2ahUKEwjs_ty8gLiMAxW4FTQIHT08AOgQtwJ6BAgVEAI&usg=AOvVaw1wY4pv99-tNqE0iDtAsgJo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fabricated </a> drug charges. He was sentenced by an all-white jury to thirty to forty years in prison. Sostre spent the next decade in prison, often in solitary confinement, regularly humiliated and tortured by guards.While <a class="" href="https://www.freedomarchives.org/Documents/Finder/Black%20Liberation%20Disk/Black%20Power!/SugahData/Essays/Schaich.S.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">incarcerated </a>, Sostre became a successful “jailhouse lawyer” using legal appeals for his own rights. He also advocated for the religious and political rights of all prisoners and for the end of draconian policies of censorship, solitary confinement, and invasive bodily exams. As the editors of the <a class="" href="https://archives.law.nccu.edu/ncclr/vol4/iss2/5/?utm_source=archives.law.nccu.edu%2Fncclr%2Fvol4%2Fiss2%2F5&utm_medium=PDF&utm_campaign=PDFCoverPages" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">North Carolina Central Law Review </a> note in their introduction to Sostre’s 1973 essay “The New Prisoner” Sostre was also “the moving force behind the formation of a prisoners’ union in New York State and an advocate of minimum wages for inmate workers.” Sostre also <a class="" href="https://libcom.org/article/martin-sostre-prison-revolutionary" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">introduced </a> figures like Black anarchist <a href="https://www.blackagendareport.com/review-anarchism-and-black-revolution" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lorenzo Kom’Boa Ervin</a> to anarchist theory and practice. Sostre was released from prison in 1976 through a combination of his own efforts and of the Free Martin Sostre campaign. He died on August 12, 2015 at the age of 92.A visionary with a highly attuned sense of both justice and praxis, Martin Sostre had the mind of a political strategist. These qualities are demonstrated in his essay “Armed Struggle: Natural Response to Fascism.” We reprint it below.Armed Struggle: Natural Response to FascismMartin SostreSisters and Brothers:The escalating repression by this predatory, racist and sexist capitalist system makes glaringly clear to all but the most politically backward that the dire predictions that U.S. capitalism would evolve into fascism have come to pass. Restoration of the death penalty, life sentences for drugs, recent supreme Court rulings upholding the denial of the right to live in communes, the right to privacy and human dignity (by granting police the right to arbitrarily invade peoples’ persons and homes and use as evidence in court anything seized during the illegal search), police electronic eavesdropping, infiltration, frame-ups, assassinations, brutalisations, de-humanisations, behaviour modification, and genocide are some of the repressive fascist measures now being implemented.The question now is: What are we going to do about this murderous fascism? Shall we continue spouting revolutionary rhetoric without commensurate deeds and passively stand by like sheep while our comrades are framed by the gestapo police kidnapped off the streets and murdered one by one? Must we passively wait our turn to be led to the oppressors’ cages, brutalised or murdered? Or shall we oppose the choking fascist oppression which if allowed to continue encroaching on what is left of our personal freedoms will eventually convert us into de-humanised mindless robots? The answer is obvious. Indeed, to defend ourselves by all means necessary against the destruction of our human rights and personhood not only is the natural right to self-defence but a human duty.By what means then shall we resist the fascist oppressors? The answer to this is determined by the means employed to press us. Our oppression is multi-dimensional. We are oppressed economically, legally, psychologically, culturally, physically and by all other means deemed necessary by the criminal ruling class to maintain themselves in power. Since oppression is multi-dimensional, does not common sense dictate that resistance to it be multi-dimensional with each level of oppression challenged by a commensurate level of revolutionary resistance?For example, the fascist lies propagated by the controlled media press must be challenged with revolutionary truth disseminated by the movement press, tapes, films, books, pamphlets, leaflets, posters, etc. Not too many revolutionaries and militants will disagree with this. Only when the same common-sense is applied to opposing fascist violence with revolutionary armed resistance do many of them become horrified. Witness the reaction of most of the movement people to SLA’s [Symbionese Liberation Army] revolutionary response to fascist repression.The current revolutionary action of the SLA is the correct and inevitable response to the countless kidnappings, frame-ups, brutalisations and murders perpetrated by the ruling class members upon resistors of oppression. At long last the individual members of this exploitative-racist-sexist system are being subjected to revolutionary justice. As Malcolm X said, “It’s a case of the chickens coming home to roost.” I extend my revolutionary love and solidarity to my SLA comrades and wish them every success.Why then are so-called militants and revolutionaries so horrified when armed fascist repression is resisted by the armed might of the people? Do they expect the people to revert to the turn-the-other-cheek state of the 1950s and respond to fascist murder, sadistic brutalisation, frame-ups and tortures with passive acquiescence, love for our fascist enemies and cooperation in our own oppression?Or is it that these horrified so-called militants and revolutionaries see the liberation struggle as one dimensional, to be fought solely on the level of consciousness they happen to be on? Surely they cannot be so politically retarded [sic] as to believe that in a liberation struggle the enemy should be fought on only one level – that approved by the enemy.It is just as absurd to propose that everyone resist fascist oppression through peaceful means as to propose armed resistance for everyone. Just because I’m a revolutionary anarcho-communist who believes in armed struggle does not dogmatize me to propose that everyone arm and go underground. Nor would I denounce those who refuse to do so.Paradoxically, though these leftists bitterly denounce all violence by US revolutionaries against the US ruling class, they highly praise as “heroic” the armed violence of the revolutionaries in Africa, Asia, Ireland, the Middle-East and Latin America. The rule seems to be that armed violence is an acceptable form of revolutionary struggle except when employed by US revolutionaries against the fascist ruling class of the US. In effect, it’s as if the role of these left groups is to protect the ruling class from violence and confine the liberation struggle to the boundaries of legal activities approved by the ruling class.However, the irrefutable truth is that a liberation struggle is revolutionary war. Revolutionary war is a complicated process of mass struggle, armed and unarmed, peace and violent, legal and clandestine, economic and political, where all forms of struggle are developed harmoniously around the axle of armed struggle. Anyone who by now has not grasped these basic facts does not know what liberation struggle is – or is trying to palm off reformism for liberation struggle.A distinction must be made between reformists and revolutionaries. Reformists seek merely to reform through legal means, and not overthrow the existing fascist system. That’s why they panic when the people exercise their right to armed self-defence against the genocidal violence of the fascist ruling class. Revolutionaries seek the complete overthrow of the fascist system by all means necessary including armed struggle. Revolutionaries seek, moreover, to subject to peoples’ justice individual members of the ruling class for their many crimes against humanity.The spreading of the East and West coasts of the philosophy of subjecting members and agents of the ruling class to people’s justice attests to how widespread this revolutionary concept has become. It can never be erased from the consciousness of the people, the revolutionary clock.At long last the peoples’ armed force has emerged within the United States to oppose the gestapo of the ruling class. The balance of power has radically shifted. Gone forever are the days when fascists could prepare every conceivable crime with impunity. The price of oppression has been raised and shall soon become prohibitive.The stolen billions of dollars possessed by members of the criminal ruling class shall soon become a liability. They’ll be forced to convert their mansions into fortresses protected by round the clock armed guards and electronic protective devices. Every venture outside the besieged fortress will require escorts of armed guards. Even this will not guarantee safety. For revolutionary justice shall stalk the fascist criminals at every turn. Already the people’s army has sent shivers of fear through the spine of the criminal ruling class who clearly recognise the signs as meaning: the beginning of the end.Conversely, the people’s armed self-defence force has created new hope in the hearts of the oppressed – particularly revolutionary comrades held hostage in fascist prisons serving long sentences. Soon the fascist ruling class will be forced to free these prisoners of war in exchange for captured members of their own class.The denunciation of the SLA by the movement press is indistinguishable from that of the ruling class. Indeed, some movement papers quoted statements from the controlled press to support their claim that the people rejected the kidnapping. The criminal ruling class rubbed their hands in glee and publicised how divided the left was over the SLA. Each left organisation seemed to be competing with the others for legitimacy by denouncing the SLA. It was utterly disgusting, reactionary and opportunistic.Nor were the denunciations made in a spirit of constructive criticism by fellow comrades. No attempt was made by the movement press to publicise the SLA’s programme, analyse it and point out where it was erroneous. The criticism was deliberately hostile and designed to isolate the SLA by poisoning people’s minds against them.Conspicuously absent from the denunciations of the SLA in the movement press is any discussion of the role of armed struggle. The impression given is that armed struggle is not an essential part of the revolutionary struggle, that revolutionary violence is something repulsive which should be shunned. The left movement press would have one believe that to overthrow the criminal ruling class we have merely to organise mass movements, demonstrations, protest and repeat revolutionary slogans. Even after Chile (the lates of a series of tragedies where thousands of defenceless comrades were slaughtered because of the criminal refusal of leftist leaders to arm the people against the armed might of the ruling class) the movement in the United States still follows the same ill-fated line of Allende – as evidenced by the bitter denunciations of the armed action of the SLA.Most movement organisations are so busy following their dogmatic party lines, repeating revolutionary cliches and downing other movement groups that they’re unable to see the self-evident. Were their natural powers of perception and consciousness not stultified by party-lineism they would know that a revolutionary liberation movement must deal with the enemy concurrently on all levels, including armed violence. Otherwise when the inevitable showdown with the ruling class comes, the revolution will be left defenceless and the lives of our beloved comrades needlessly sacrificed.The SLA is the armed resistance of the people to the exploitative, racist and sexist fascism which is now upon us. All resistors of oppression, on whatever level of conscience they may be, should rejoice at the SLA’s existence, at their successful deeds  and the fear they put in the hearts of the criminal ruling class. It’s therefore the duty of us all to support by all means necessary, our SLA comrades. We must close ranks with them and give them the support they need. Let’s not fall for the malicious lies spread by agents of the FBI about the SLA which are designed to isolate the SLA from the people to make it easier to capture and murder them. I have carefully studied the <a class="" href="https://freedomarchives.org/Documents/Finder/DOC514_scans/514.SLA.DeclareWar.8.21.73.flyer.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Declaration of the Revolutionary War and the Symbionese Liberation Army </a> and find it generally sound. It incorporates much of our historical revolutionary experience. I believe that the Symbionese Liberation Army has one of the most advanced revolutionary programmes for liberation in operation within the United States of America.The SLA represents the greatest challenge to fascist power because it objectifies the nucleus of the people’s army which as history shows is necessary to deliver the death-blow to the military arm of the fascist parasitic class.Your comrade in struggle, Martin SostreMartin Sostre, “Armed Struggle: Natural Response to Fascism,” <a class="" href="https://ia803206.us.archive.org/0/items/sparrowsnest-8433/sparrowsnest-8433.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Black Flag: Organ of the Anarchist Black Cross </a> 4 no. 3 (August 1975) source: <a href="https://blackagendareport.com/essay-armed-struggle-natural-response-fascism-martin-sostre-1975" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Black Agenda Report</a><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=18127" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=18127</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/armed-struggle/" target="_blank">#armedStruggle</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/black-liberation/" target="_blank">#blackLiberation</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/martin-sostre/" target="_blank">#martinSostre</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/north-america/" target="_blank">#northAmerica</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/revolution/" target="_blank">#revolution</a>

abolitionmediaFrom the EZLN to “El Mayo” Zambada or the Adventure of Crossing the Atlantic Without Being Able to SwimThey had to prepare the interview with Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada—something only Julio Scherer had managed—when the phone rang. On one side of the receiver was journalist Diego Enrique Osorno. On the other, a liaison from the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) with a proposal: to cross the Atlantic Ocean on a sailboat to spread the word about the indigenous struggle taking place in Chiapas. There was little to think about, but it was necessary to clarify:“I’m in poor physical condition, and to top it all off, I don’t know how to swim,” Osorno said.“Don’t worry,” they responded, “some of the Zapatista envoys have never even seen the ocean. (…) We’ll go on La Montaña.”There are several symbols in La Montaña. One of them was to launch into Europe, the old continent and land of the conquistadors who arrived in America 500 years ago, but now in the opposite direction so that the protagonists of the Indigenous resistance would be the ones to bring the news and make their voices heard throughout the world. Another symbolism was described by Enrique Florescano in his book Memora Indígena:“In the heart of the population, they erected a replica of the first mountain that emerged from the primordial waters on the inaugural day of the cosmos. This hill, which the Maya called Yax Hal Witz, the First True Mountain, and the Nahua called Tonacatépetl, the Hill of Maintenance, was the symbol of the emergence of the earth and its creation with the three levels of the cosmos: the underworld, the earth’s surface, and the sky (…) The first True Mountain was also a symbol of fertility: the earth that held within it the nourishing seeds and fertilizing waters that nourished the first human beings.”This is how The (Primal) Mountain sailed across the Atlantic in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic: with a witness (a journalist) and a group of EZLN representatives to update the chronicle of the armed movement that erupted on January 1st, 1994. It also served as a reminder that the Zapatista movement remains one of the current government’s biggest headaches. The searching mothers and journalists are two others.“They know this deep down. Zapatismo reminds them of what the governments in power are betraying,” says Diego Enrique Osorno, recalling his journey across the Atlantic. Without knowing how to swim.“El Mayo Zambada was sitting in front of me, and I began to tell him who I was. The former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel (arrested on July 25th, 2024) was desperate because a guy was telling him about his life. I was taking up his time—they had given me 30 minutes for the interview—and making him very anxious. It wasn’t until I mentioned Julio Scherer that he became interested, stood up, and settled in. “It’s a shame we can’t revive him,” he told me. Then we talked for three hours,” Osorno recalls during the presentation of his book En la Montaña (On the Mountain).The interview with El Mayo Zambada took place in the middle of the pandemic (2021) and also required going to a mountain, but this time in Sinaloa, the heart of the world’s largest criminal organization and today the epicenter of a civil war that has lasted almost seven months and claimed the lives of more than 900 people. They say Los Chapitos betrayed Zambada, and La Mayiza responded with “lead.”It’s a pandemic, and Osorno is considering whether it’s necessary to wear a face mask to his meeting with El Mayo Zambada—the precaution is no small matter; more than 800,000 people have died from COVID-19, according to a report by the Independent Commission of Investigation. The kingpin appears, and the image is not unlike the photograph with Julio Scherer: “Jeans, polo shirt, ripped belt, boots, and a hat.” Especially a hat, like those left by Los Chapitos hitmen on the bodies scattered in Culiacán.El Mayo Zambada and Diego Enrique Osorno talk about Julio Scherer, Felipe Calderón’s “war on drugs,” norteño music, narcocorridos in honor of Señor del Sombrero (The Lord of the Hat) and El Quinto Mes (The Fifth Month); they also talk about peace. “Peace isn’t said, it’s made. Peace arises from loyalty,” the drug lord declares, unaware that three years later, an alleged betrayal by Los Chapitos will land him a direct ticket to a US prison.“We do journalism with our asses in our hands,” said Javier Valdez. “No, Javier, with our hands on our asses,” corrected Ismael Bojórquez, Osorno writes in his book.Because yes, it’s also a book to remember and demand justice for Javier Valdez, silenced by the Sinaloa Cartel—still under the command of “Mayo” Zambada—on a “damned” afternoon in May 2017. In the Mountains is a reminder of everything that bothers the government. What society and journalists must not forget: it’s a book to avoid falling into the “pornography of terror and the spectacle of tragedy.” A book to remind us that “being realistic in these times is being pessimistic.”Original article by <a href="https://www.infobae.com/mexico/2025/03/30/del-ezln-al-mayo-zambada-o-la-aventura-de-cruzar-el-atlantico-sin-saber-nadar/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJbsR5leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHYbxsdyz1S8Zd0hz8Y5ET2Xwnvm8A8r80waPQIV3DDCpllCC-esngbL1GA_aem_8cJyCWuTdef0mmc5T1kQ_g" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ernesto Jiménez, Infobae, April 1st, 2025</a>.

abolitionmediaUS Seeks Execution of Luigi Mangione, Accused CEO AssassinU.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has instructed the Justice Department to pursue the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old man accused of assassinating the UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who publicly ran one of the most barbaric institutions in the country.“After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again,” Bondi said in a statement.Mangione faces federal and state criminal charges in Thompson’s death early Dec. 4 outside a hotel in New York City. Bondi’s announcement would affect only Mangione’s federal case, in which he’s accused of murdering Thompson through the use of a firearm, as well as of stalking the health care executive.In Mangione’s state case, he faces multiple murder charges, including a count of committing murder as an act of terrorism. Mangione has pleaded not guilty in the state case, and his next appearance is scheduled for late June. Pretrial proceedings in his federal case have been delayed until at least April 18 based on an agreement between his lawyers and prosecutors.Mangione’s lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, called the move by the Justice Department “political” and said in a statement that Mangione will fight the charges against him.“We are prepared to fight these federal charges, brought by a lawless Justice Department, as well as the New York State charges, and the Pennsylvania charges, and anything else they want to pile on Luigi,” the statement said. “This is a corrupt web of government dysfunction and one-upmanship. Luigi is caught in a high-stakes game of tug-of-war between state and federal prosecutors, except the trophy is a young man’s life.”Mangione draws public supportIn his role as CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Thompson ran a nationwide health insurance company that regularly denied people of basic coverage, and likely ended thousands of people’s lives for profit.These corporate institutions have become increasingly brazen and barbaric as the the wealth in the country is consolidated in fewer and fewer hands.After the assassination of the exploiter, Thompson, a dayslong search for a suspect in his killing and the subsequent arrest of Mangione at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, sparked massive public support from most the society.“Luigi really wanted to thank the supporters for being here, and we all appreciate it very much,” Karen Friedman Agnifilo, a lawyer for Mangione, said outside of court after a February proceeding in a New York state court.Court records unveiled last week said Mangione had received a pair of notes while in custody telling him to keep his “head held high” and that “there are thousands of people wishing you luck.” Mangione has requested a laptop to review discovery, which prosecutors have opposed.The support Mangione has seen in some quarters sparked fear for other insurance companies, which beefed up their security. In bringing potentially harsh penalties against the 26-year-old, prosecutors have signaled they want to send a message when it comes to potential violence motivated by blatant injustice. The state intends to maintain the status quo at all costs, as it continues to participate in what amounts to a public killing spree of its citizens through the health industry.“The murder was an act of political violence,” the Justice Department said in a news release accompanying the announcement. “Mangione’s actions involved substantial planning and premeditation and because the murder took place in public with bystanders nearby, may have posed grave risk of death to additional persons.”<a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=18066" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=18066</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/assassin/" target="_blank">#assassin</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/assassination/" target="_blank">#assassination</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/luigi-mangione/" target="_blank">#luigiMangione</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/north-america/" target="_blank">#northAmerica</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/repression/" target="_blank">#repression</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/us/" target="_blank">#us</a>

abolitionmediaCommunique From Some Texas State “Vandals” An anonymous transmissionTo our fellow San Martians,We typically prefer that actions speak for themselves, but perhaps a few words are due. In the face of renewed genocide and mass deportations, all that is left is what must be done. Taking up the task of disruption, sabotage, and attack is not something we do lightly. The people of Gaza have repeatedly called for mass student escalation. We’ve witnessed targeted deportations of politicized students, workers, and teachers with legal status; a wave of student protests repressed and occupations torn down, and paltry concessions rescinded by university admin.We ask: what did a protest of over 500 students last spring at the Stallions accomplish? We stood and chanted as fellow students at UT were teargassed. Last week, the Party for Socialism and Liberation hosted a small protest of barely a few dozen. Then everyone went home. Held on the square, this event made front cover of the University Star alongside an opinion piece by the Star’s editorial board advocating “proper avenues” of “political expression.” They even dared to invoke the expelled <a href="https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/san-marcos-10" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">San Marcos 10</a> in an effort to downplay a little graffiti. Why? The university can better control every aspect of the narrative if we allow them to dictate proper political expression.Our detractors have labeled us vandals, criminals, outside agitators, domestic terrorists, radicals/extremists. Though these titles are certainly an honor, we remain your humble neighbors, colleagues, & classmates. Living in the heart of US imperialism necessitates actions that disrupt business as usual. We do not fear political repression, but instead a return to normalcy.Some students have bemoaned the defacing of their “beautiful” campus. Fuck you lol. This university is complicit in funding Israeli genocide and actively collaborating with ICE against the will of its student population. It was already an extension of an active warzone; our political act simply reminded people of that. It is students who make this campus beautiful, because it is our campus.Others pointed out the inconvenienced sanitation workers forced to take such art down. For the first time, students recognized the existence and working conditions of underpaid, primarily immigrant workers who lack union representation on this campus. But rather than lay those concerns at the feet of a, frankly overpaid, administration whose campus is expanding unsustainably, these students prefer to weaponize said workers against a political movement. How often has the student body taken it upon themselves to guarantee the survival of these workers or their families?UPD has claimed all its efforts are being concentrated on unveiling us while sexual harassment, assault, hazing, and homophobic and racist violence are still mainstays at this University. Perhaps it would be best if they concentrated on those, if they weren’t so often guilty of excesses of violence themselves.Another point of interest was the overwhelming discussions held in the wake of our graffiti. Through Reddit, Instagram, and classrooms debates were held, photographs taken, interviews conducted, and statements released. The University Star would have you believe otherwise, that “many students have already ceased conversations surrounding it.” A boldface lie in an attempt to downplay an event the paper references in 3 different articles this week.Our beloved University President, Kelly Damphouse, even took to the battlements of his own Instagram post responding to the flurry of negative comments he received from Texas State students, and liking messages such as “we stand with you Kelly.” Seems his public outreach coordinator needs to run some trainings with him, feeling the need to respond to each and every negative comment with hundreds of likes.Funny thing that few people recall about Kelly: his doctorate is in counter-terrorism, counter-intelligence, and studying resistance movements. What that means, dear reader, is that the president of our university has a degree in stifling unrest. His position befits the degree as he has spoken wearily of anti-war student activists of the 60’s and compared them to today’s protests around Palestine. A fed for a president who needs to lay off the ‘gram lest he make a fool of himself. We are happy to report that the vast majority of student body responses on social media that we witnessed were positive 🙂Finally, we come to the particular questions and answered that spurred this communique. Why did we do it? Should you do it? How? Was it easy?We did it because it was a step, a small one, towards escalation. Graffiti carries a certain transgressive and sensationalist appeal that gets people talking. However, this was by no means a performative action designed only to create commotion. IT is part of a sustained national attempt to attack institutions responsible and hold them accountable. In the spirit of the Merrimack 4, we think it important to bring the war home. As parades, marches, protests, and community events have their place in revolutionary change, so too does direct action, disruption, and clandestine activity.With minimal planning, some spray paint, and committed friends we reveal ways to strike back. It was easy. “stay tuned” and “you can do it too” were not just slogans but calls to action. Be bold. Be creative. Have fun, because it is fun to revolt. It’s the University’s responsibility to divest from genocide and keep ICE out. We can bleed their pockets. Material damages is money they cannot spend elsewhere. We take risks because we can, and once you realize it’s possible so can you.Source:<a href="https://austinautonomedia.noblogs.org/communique-from-some-texas-state-vandals/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Austin Autonomedia</a><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=18021" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=18021</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/al-aqsa-flood/" target="_blank">#alAqsaFlood</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/austin/" target="_blank">#austin</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/direct-action/" target="_blank">#DirectAction</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/north-america/" target="_blank">#northAmerica</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/solidarity/" target="_blank">#Solidarity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/texas/" target="_blank">#texas</a>
