It is very difficult for the Marxist-Leninists to make an objective criticism of anarchism as such, because by its nature it undermines all the suppositions basic to Marxism.

Jailing people costs more, and there are 10 times as many empty houses as homeless people here in the US.
The US is a slave state.

Our being is becoming, not stasis. Our science is utopia, our reality is eros, our desire is revolution.

Today in Labor History July 29, 1962: British aristocrat and fascist leader, Oswald Mosely, was beaten by antifascists in London’s east end. Even after police began to escort him away, activists from the antifascist 62 Group (AKA 62 Committee), led by Jewish, communist, and black activists, were able to pelt him with eggs, fruit and rocks. He later called a rally, which the activists successfully disrupted with shouts of “down with fascists.” The only people arrested were antifascist activists.
62 Group disrupted fascist meetings throughout the early to mid-60s, beating up or attacking fascists whenever they had the chance, much like the Jewish antifascist 43 Group did in the 1940s. As a result, they were able to significantly reduce the power and effectiveness of the fascists in the 1960s.
Mosely had been a Labor MP and junior minister from 1918-1931. As the leader of the British Union of Fascists, publicly supported antisemitism and tried to form alliances with Mussolini and Hitler. During the 1936 Battle of Cable Street, antifascist demonstrators including unions, anarchists, socialists, communists, liberals and Jews, prevented the BUF from marching through the East End of London. During World War Two, Moseley and his wife were imprisoned as threats to the national security.
Mosely is portrayed in numerous works of fiction, including the television series, The Peaky Blinders. He is portrayed in Pink Floyd’s the wall; Aldous Huxley’s 1928 novel, Point Counter Point; HG Wells's 1939 novel The Holy Terror; PG Wodehouse's Jeeves series; and Philip Roth's The Plot Against America.

La sera del 29 luglio 1900, a Monza, il re d'Italia #UmbertoI si allontanava, a bordo di una carrozza scoperta, dalla palestra della società ginnica "Forti e liberi", dove aveva premiato alcuni atleti. Ad un tratto, gli si avvicinò un giovane il quale, armato di una rivoltella, colpì a morte il sovrano. Il giovane attentatore fu subito arrestato e identificato: era #GaetanoBresci.

The liberal government of Spain could have rendered the fascist elements powerless long ago. Instead it compromised and dallied.

It is a sad sight to see those who believe themselves to be revolutionaries unleashing their hatred on the anarchist.
