Lazy brains create fixed rules so they don't have to think every time they have to solve a similar problem.

Today marks the 104th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, the systematic extermination of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire.

Every year, on the eve of this day of rememberance, young people across Armenia gather in Yerevan and march to the Genocide Memorial with torches, in the memory of the victims of the Genocide.

To this day, both Turkey and Western powers like the United States, refuse to recognise this monstrous reality that forever marked the Armenian people, its scars still visible over a century later.

It’s about time for the perpetrators to assume responsibility.

It’s about time the tiniest bit of respect was paid to all those brutally tortured, raped and massacred.

In order to properly heal, justice needs to finally be served.

A.2.4 Are anarchists in favour of “absolute” liberty?

No. Anarchists do not believe that everyone should be able to “do whatever they like,” because some actions invariably involve the denial of the liberty of others.

For example, anarchists do not support the “freedom” to rape, to exploit, or to coerce others. Neither do we tolerate authority. On the contrary, since authority is a threat to liberty, equality, and solidarity (not to mention human dignity), anarchists recognise the need to resist and overthrow it.

The exercise of authority is not freedom. No one has a “right” to rule others. As Malatesta points out, anarchism supports “freedom for everybody … with the only limit of the equal freedom for others; which does not mean … that we recognise, and wish to respect, the ‘freedom’ to exploit, to oppress, to command, which is oppression and certainly not freedom.” [Errico Malatesta: His Life and Ideas, p. 53]

In a capitalist society, resistance to all forms of hierarchical authority is the mark of a free person — be it private (the boss) or public (the state). As Henry David Thoreau pointed out in his essay on “Civil Disobedience” (1847)

“Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.”

Hoje é um dia muito especial para o antifascismo.

Os partisans capturaram e executaram Benito Mussolini e sua amante, pendurando-os de cabeça para baixo na Piazzale Loreto de Milão, encerrando mais de 20 anos de fascismo. 38 anos depois, na mesma data, um glorioso 25 de abril tornou-se também o símbolo da luta antifascista em Portugal.

O fascismo está fadado a ser o lado perdedor. A lata de lixo da história é o seu lugar. 🏴🚩✊
