Editor’s Note: Teodoro Antilli was active in the Argentine anarchist movement during a period of severe repression. In late 1909 a state of siege was imposed, many anarchists were imprisoned and their presses, offices and cultural centres were ransacked and closed. Antilli was involved in the publication of the anarchist paper, La Battala, but was arrested in May 1910 along with hundreds of others amid renewed attacks on the anarcho-syndicalist FORA (Selectiol1 58). In 1913, Alltilli was imprisoned for publishing an article accusing all assistant prison governor of raping an anarchist prisoner. He was involved in the general strike ofjanuary 1919, which was ruthlessly suppressed. Over 700 workers were killed, thousands more wounded, and over 50,000 imprisoned in what came to be known as the “Tragic Week.” All anarchist papers, including Antilli’s, were banned. In 1921, another 1,100 workers were massacred during the anarchist rebellion in Patagonia. Antilli and his next paper, La Antorcha, supported the actions of Severino Di Giovanni, a militant Italian anarchist refugee from fascism who began a campaign of illegal actions, including bank robberies and assassinations, in face of this brutal reaction. The following extracts, translated by Paul Sharkey, are taken from Antilli’s Salud a la Anarquia! [Here’s to Anarchy!] (Buenos Aires: La Antorcha, 1924, reprinted in El Anarquismo en America Latina, Caracas: Biblioteca Ayacucho, 1990)

WE SHOULD, IT OCCURS TO US, OFFER a full explanation of our notion of “social struggle” as opposed to “class struggle.” As we see it, they are a s different as n arrow is from wide and the eternal from the ephemeral. Suggesting actions of differing scopes. In fact, someone locked into the class struggle is ill equipped to understand comprehensive social struggle.... If I accept that there is only class struggle, success for me will b e enough. My quarrel is with the propertied and the capitalists. If I join forces with other workers like myself and set up, say, a cooperative, the class struggle will be over as far as we are concerned; we shall have won, as indeed the cooperators and socialists contend. Yet the state of society will not h ave been changed and the class struggle will be over a s far as we are concerned because we h ave made ourselves capitalists, the inner circle of a business that visits its exploitation on outsiders, making every one of us, in equal measure, an exploiter, instead of our being split into exploiters and exploited ... If I extend this to thinking about the entire social system as a “class struggle,” then all that is required is that my class should dictate to the other class, in which case I too shall have emerged the victor.

“Social struggle,” as we understand it, is not just setting a course for revolution and extinguishing the existence of the bourgeoisie; it is also, since we hold that the social also means the sociable, the elimination of all imposition, especially political imposition, by one man upon another; we see humanity as having fought for countless centuries past to achieve a genuinely free society; we plunge into these raging waters and, let there be no mistake about this, we accept all the consequences and, chiefly, the Revolution. Social struggle, therefore, is something humane and all-embracing; the aim is not merely to change society, but that society should be hospitable for men, and every source of oppression or tyranny banished, which is to say, a genuinely free society...

The term “social struggle,” as we employ it, i s that all-encompassing. And we want this borne in mind lest it be confused with class struggle carried through to Revolution. We bring into the Revolution a social struggle as well ... Class struggle carried through to Revolution has as its aim a “proletarian dictatorship.” Social struggle carried through to Revolution has as its object the freedom of Humanity and the ennobling of all of its members.

California is tryna pass a law that bans protestors from covering their face (June 26, 2018)

I just wanna point something out real quick. Sooo. From this image the context clues I get are you need a college degree, but paid a not-livable wage. Meaning a degree is interpreted to be worth more than what is offered. This information can then be used to ask “so who is worth the suggested wage?” People who don’t have a college degree or higher. This is a rhetorical strategy to put workers against workers. I’m not saying OP did that deliberately. But that’s the interpretation I get when looking at this meme. Instead we should be saying “ANY person is worth more than that wage.” And that’s when we move into rhetoric that practices solidarity with others who are not valued in this capitalist economy.

this is an insult

Vegans: *complaing about carnists*

Carnists: *complaining about vegans calling them carnists*

Vegans: *complaining about how carnists aren’t oppressed*

Okay, both groups exploit animals, both human and non-human. So neither group is oppressed. The group that is oppressed in either situation are the migrant workers in industrial farms and indigenous peoples tending the agricultural farms. Like both y’all go the fuck outside. None of you shits are oppressed for your dietary decisions. You are oppressing different people/animals though. So fuck off and think about people other than yourselves.

I’ve welcomed two fur babies into my life. The blue one (who doesn’t stay still for photos) is Adderall and the brown one is Indica. It’s been 24 short hours but I’m hopelessly in love.

I came out to my mom as non-binary and also told her my plans for changing my physical appearance. She took it surprisingly well. I have yet to tell her my desire for a name change and my new pronouns though. But I’ll get there. I also told her I will be getting top surgery in the future. She... didn’t react as negatively as I thought she would.

The finished product. I also mustered the courage to ask my artist out on a date and she said yes.

anarcho-socialist-latina reblogged your post and added:

Reblogging with this addition because OP only wants to criticize rather than actually help us like the performative wokeness they seek to admonish in the original post.

I made an apology and agreed to try and phrase things more sensitively in the future, but rather than engage with that, you decided you’d rather antagonize me. 

If you think so little of me having read maybe two paragraphs of text, then I’m sorry to have given you a poor impression. That’s really all I can say.
