Can you imag- ine the role reversal implied by the prospect of the children of Caliban’s teaching those of Prospero, the great civilzer, the art of being human or striving for moral autonomy...collective personhood? Many commentators have asserled that i there had been no revolt i Egypt and no forced dsparture of the pharaohviike Hosni Mubrak, there would not have been mass protest action in that oh-so-white e o of a state, Wisconsin. Itis simply amazing 10 think - that the fai citzenry of Wisconsin would require an Y n x external poliical stimulus to challenge their exploi- iy tation; the racialized section of the United States’ (=] working-class has been bearing the brunt of the racist, sexist and capitalist battering of the welfare state structures since the 19805 without much sympathy from their white working-class counterparts. But predominantly-white Wisconsin s up in arms when the chicken comes home 1o roost in their own backyard! Martin Luther King was quite right when he declared, ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat 1o justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutualiy,tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly” We can only hope that white workers come to realize that white supremacist beliefs and practices only weaken the working-class - 1o the advantage of the small capitalist elte The poliical and economic elite in the United States is ruthlessly using the aftereffects of the Great Recession as a pretext to further weaken the economic, social and po- Itcal conditions of the working-class. It was the actions of the captains of industry and ‘commerce and their politcians that were responsible for the massive job losses, near. collapses of major inancial firms, housing foreclosures (which largely affected racialized urban communities) and overall ‘bust of the capilalist business cycle. One of the effects of the preceding events was a massive reduction in revenue flowing to the coffers of the different levels of government. It should be noted that prior and ongoing tax cuts - granted by the politcal class to corporations, wealthy individuals and high in ‘come earners - were also critical factors in the deficis now faced by state governments.

![our current period of wage-slavery. Marx’s 1867 assertion remains valid today: “In the United States of North America, every independent movement of the workers was para- ysed so long as slavery disfigred a part of the Republic. Labour cannot emancipate itselfin the white skin where in the black itis branded" (emphasis mine). [10] The class struggle and a united working-class movement in the Unted States (and Can- ada) will remain “paralyse", deformed and underdeveloped, i the commitment 1o the elimination o white supremacy does not become a siralegio goal o the organized labour and the general working-class. Would the outpouring of solidarty ith Wisconsin work- ers be the same ifthe target was a group oflargely racialized public sector workers? Ford captures the issue at stake - the role of race and white supremacy in limiting the class struggle in the United States: Wisconsin is, in a sense, a near-ideal terrain for a showdown with the Tea Party brand of Republicanism. The actors i the drama are overwhelmingly white, putting the raw class nalure of capital’s aggression in stark relef. With rlatively few Black ‘scapegoats to complicate the issue, while folks must confront the bare facts of the. way late-stage capitalism tramples ordinary people as it careens from crisis o criss. Or, maybe not. White supremacy is a dynamic ideology that has always been central to the domestic functions of American Exceptionalism, distorting not just race rela- tions but all ther social relations, as wel. Once the foundational Nigger has been invented and given life in the public mind, with all his purported logic-bending and ‘Society-polluting defects, his{fher] characteristics can be imputed to other targeted ‘groups - a ready-made demonization kit. Public employees in general and teachers in particular now find themselves Niggerized as lazy featherbedders, no-count ma- lingerers, fellow travelers with welfare queens and other human malignancies that must be excised so thal the free marke! can work its wonders. [11] ‘The task facing us class struggle and anti-oppression advocates is to be ‘ruthlessly” frank and firm in our commitment to challenge and eradicate white supremacy within the labour movement, the general working-class and the structures of the wider society. It was encouraging to know that the question of race and centring the inerest of the racial- ized working-class surfaced within the conversations of the Madison resistance - albeit in a fairly marginal space.

![or workplace issues. Andy Kroll, a writer and an eyewitness at the protest actions against this potentially ‘game-changing legisative attack on public sector unionism, states that “within a week there were close to 70,000 protesters fiing the streets of Madison." (5] The writer was so moved by the spirit o resistance in the occupied Capitol building in Madison and events. in the street that he declared, “Believe me, the spirt of Cairo is here. The air is charged with it [6] Whie the protests on the scale in Madison, Wisconsin may bring into motion forces that represent radical or revolutionary demands, | am not among the commentators who are overly impressed with what | have been seeing and reading. | am reminded of the i struclive refrain of the African Jamaican dub poet, "A revolt ain’trevolution. A revolution ught o be guided by revolutionary ideas and demands. It would be a stretch 1o even think that the preceding condition exists in Wisconsin, or even Egypt. We are currently at such a low level of movement activism or upsurge that even a ripple of protest may inspire fantastic declarations and expectation. However, Larry Pinkney of the online publication The Black Commentator has a more Sobering assessment of the Wisconsin protest than Krol, which runs counter to the eu- phoric pronouncements that | have read in alternative spaces: While it is certainly heartening to see some people making and taking a stand in Madison, Wisconsin, this does not mean that Wisconsin has somehow become Egypt. It has not. There are numerous inherent contradictions that have yet (o be forthrightly addressed in Wisconsin, U.S.A., and which strongly impact the most economically and politicall dispossessed and despised of people in Wisconsin and throughout the United States. [7) Pickney is raising questions about the oppres- sion of the racialized working-class, inclusive of those with and without jobs. Their ‘material interest does not gamer substantive or broad sympathy from white union bureaucrats and rank-and-fie members. Where were the protests when Reagan and Clinton assaulted the working-lass by changing “welfare as we know it" and demonized African Americans and the poor in the process? Where was the howling from organized labour when Clinton proudly declared his intention to put 100,000 additional cops on the streets of America 8] and dramatically increase the number of Afficans, Hispanic and poor whiles in the prison-industrial com- plex or penal colonies? Where was organized labour when affirmative action was being savaged for merely trying to weaken white supremacist employment and ofher structural bartiers in the workplace and the wider society? ‘Organized labour is willng to move when itis faced with self-evident existential threats. Stephanie Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer of Wisconsin’s AFL-CIO, seemed 1o con- firm the preceding assertion when she noted, “(oJur very labor movement is at stake and when that’s at stake, the economic security of Americans is at stake.”[9] | wonder wheth- e her visual image of “Americans” looks like the people on Fulton Street in Brookiyn, New York. On the contrary, when the *slings and arrows” fired at the racialized working: class provoke even the slightest bi of racial animus, union bureaucrats and white work- ers, through their inaction or silence, tend to support the nitatives of the ruling-class.

From the federal government under the pied piper leadership of President Barack Obama to two-bit governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin to mult-millonaire Governor Rick Synder in Michigan, tax-cuts to the well-heeled, disciplining of the working-class and social pro- ‘gramme spending reduction are the preferred policy options.

The fox (capitalis class) and the chickens (workers) cannol have a communiy ofinterest. s in the nalure of the former (o desire the latter for breakfast, unch or dinner. Many members of the United States’ working-class have been misiabeling themselves. s middle-class as a result of the relentless ideological and social conditioning by the ‘combined forces of the media, school, family, poliicians, religious insttutions and even union bureaucrats. ‘The capitalst or corporate elite are also implicated in the mental slavery or false con- sciousness of workers. According to Funiciello, the capitaist elte, in its capacity as bosses of the wage-slavery regime, plays a critcal role in keeping workers distracted o servil: Here in America, it has been difficult for rank-and-file Americans o see their own yoke. That’s how sophisticated is the hand of the very small elte that has controlled how many jobs we will have, where we wil live, whether we will have a house or an apartment, how ur children will be educated (or mis-educated?) and, even, what and how much we wil eat. The consolidation of power over the people by that small eite has occurred over several decades, but just now the minions of Corporate America are coming out info the open and trying to administer the coup de grace. The minions are Republicans and, unfortunately, they have had help from many Democrats.[3] However, the current state-sponsored legislative intiatives aimed at destroying collec- tive bargaining rights, decent wages, workplace benefits and the abilty of unions to financially support politcal actviies — along with union-crippling “right to work” laws - should disabuse workers of their middle-ciass llusions. f you sell your labour and do not exercise substantive control over the organizing, managing and directing of work or the labour process, you are a member of the working-class, period! ‘One may be forgiven for thinking that the pulse of resistance had disappeared from the body of organized labour in the United States. Other than partcipation in the farce that s electoral politcs (politicks?), organized labour has been, for the most part, absent from politcal struggles against white supremacy, sexism and capitalism. With the attack on public sector unionism in Wisconsin and other states and the tentative. fight-back posturing of the labour movement that has begun to emerge i response, a cu- rious observer may be excused for wondering aloud: “Has this Lazarus nowrisen from its deathly sleep and re-discovered is historical mission?" Has Lazarus, the working-class, finally remembered that fs principal role ought to be the batlle to free society from social oppression? We will know the answer in the fulness of time. The assault on colective bargaining rights of public sector workers by Governor Walker could be an undisguised gift o social movement actvism. It has certainly been a long time since labour and its allies have mobilized tens of thousand of people into the streets over point of production](anti-racist-action-zine-2-south-side-chicago-ara 39.png)
![ANTI-CHOICER’S CARS ATTACKED AT SCHEIDLER’S APPRECIATION C VIONY On April 2nd, Monica Millr, executive director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Saciety (and a long-time friend of the Scheidlers), held a trbute to pro-ife chauvinist and martyr Joe Schieder, bringing a number of relgious zealots and fundamentalist wingnuts together at the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza just northwest of Chicago’s Loop. Although the Pro-choic- ers were outnumbered, and the show unfortunately went on, three cars of pro-ffers in atiendance were attacked. Taken from Chicago Indymedia: On the night of April 2nd, shortly after the pro choice demo against Joe Scheider, ‘another attack from pro-choice miltants was carried out against him and his follow- ers. Three cars of pro-life actvists had their tres slashed. I’s only been a few months since two of Scheidlers front windows of his home wero atacked with chunks of ‘asphault than contained “cryptic” messages denouncing Scheidlers sexist bullshi. Aside from wanting Joe to remove that Indiana Jones ass lookin hat, we hope, and will see (o t, that his punk-ass receives constant and aggressive confrontation unti he quits the ridiculous anti-choice bullshit.

as it was supposed to. This was the part of
the purpose of our demonstration; we are
nottying to change their minds or tellthem

ed. The conference was now minimized to
a relreating space where the NSM would
pout and discuss their defeat. According o
some sources not only did some members
of the NSM check into a diferent hotel, spending more money and fearing more attacks,
but even the cops were laughing at how bad the nazis were beat and were quoted saying
“ARAIsnt playing this weekend', but then again, are we ever?
The next day, April 16ih, it was time for the downtown rally in Trenton followed by the
backyard concert on Jason Heickes' properly. Before the NSM showed for their hour
long spectacle in which they gained no supporters whatsoever, not only were ARA, the
new Black Panthers and other radical groups ready to confront the Nazis but the com
munity itsel filed the streets with rage looking to clean house. The NSM was protected
by several hundreds of cops, as you can expect, and because of this there really was no.
physical stand off aside from a few rocks hurled at their busses as they exited the city.
This was a second victory for us since they gained absoluely nothing and no one out of
the formality while we showed our numbers and that we were more then prepared for an.
other round. After the Nazis left, one of our other enermies in the three way struggle, the
‘cops, moved aggressively to force us out of the city, but not before few folks smashed
‘some Bank of America windows. These actions show that the rage against the fascists
is not based out of a will 1o preserve the status quo or protect capitalism but rather a will
10 reclaim what is ours and to smash racism, fascism and all oppression and apparati
of control. Since one of the band members from Zyklon B had his head splt wide open
in the melee and because it was raining we assume the outdoor concert on Heickes
property was at the very least not whal they expected bringing. Yet another victory for
our side.

2071 HITLER BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
ATTACKED BY ANTI-FASCISTS
From Chicago Indymedia.
On Saturday April 16 2011 linois-area Nazis at-
tempted to host their yearly Hiller Bithday Cel-
ebration at the PJ Klems restaurant n Lyons, IL
only to be attacked and shut down by Chicago-
area antifascists. PJ Klems has hosted Hiller
birthday celebrations in prior years and despite
facing prior harassmen the owners somehow -
thought it would be a good idea to host the
event again. They were very wrong and now should think twice before aitempting to
host any similar gathering again.
Along with the bathrooms being flooded from sabotaged toiets, antifascists suc-
cossfully set of arge smoke bombs in the bathrooms forcing the restaurant - slong
with the Hitle birthday party - to shut down shorty after it began for the remainder
ofthe day.
Calls to the restaurant confirmed that the owners knew that it was & Nazi gathering
but defended their decision to host the event by making ignorant statements such
s ‘we don' discriminate agains the types of events we host here, white people
have every right to express their opinions'. Well actions have consequences and if
you attempt to bring racist hate and nazi fith to our cities you should expect (0 get
what's coming to you.
The event was organized by long-time Nazi bonehead “Arthur Jones” (who also
lives in Lyons, L) as well as members of the rag-tag nazi group llinois United". Ar-
thur Jones has boen around for decades in various hate-groups including “America
First Committee" and Bill White's “American National Socialst Worker's Parly’, has
faied at numerous slection attempts for poliical office, and has spoken a the 2009
and 2010 Hillr Birthday celebrations.
This was their first major athering they attempted to hold i long time, not being
able to organize any “White Pride World Wide" event in 2011 after getting smashed
in 2010, and having many of their members locked up or exposed as pedophiles.
With prior gatherings the Nezis were bold enough 1o attemp! (o recruit people by
posting fiyers in public and on the internet but due to previous harassment and
disruplions from Chicago anti-fascists they have been forced (o keep their events
private invite-only. Unfortunately for them no malter how hard they try to hide there.
s no escape from being exposed and confronted by fierce antifa resistance.

PRO CHOICE MILITANTS
SCHEIDLER & THIE PRO LIF
In the early hours of December 1st, pro-choice militant feminists attacked the home of
an anti-choice *paiarch” Joe Schiedler on the North Side of Chicago. The day fallow-
ing the action news spread across Christian and Catholic news sies about the attack.
on the Scheidler's even contacting the Obama Adminisiration to do an investigation on
this “hate crime but stl, while wanting to incarcerate them, offering up a whole lot of
forgiveness. Isn't tironic that a few rocks being thrown through a couple windows grabs
50 much attention from their side while people who preform abortions, or even work in
health clinics where they are preformed, have to wear bullet proof vests o work?
We stand in solidarty with the *crazy femiist bitches who carried out this action and
hope they continue their good work. Actions like these are but a taste of the resistance
that wil eventually overshadow the delusional antichoicers who condone it lsts of
‘abortion doctors (Nuremberg Files) but are astounded when their homes are attacked.

CHICAGO ANTI-FASCISTS ATTACK
NAZI SYNMPATHIZING “SECRIEETS”
On August 22nd around 2pm Chicago ant-
fascists gathered in front of secrets to pro-
test Suzy M Lenner, a member of the Na-
tional Socialist movement, and the store
itself for not only employing the known
Neo Nazi but for actively trying to cover up
her racist, sexist, genocidal polics.
‘The antifascists distributed flers to people
in the area before being approached by
two secrets employees and a man claim-
ing to be the owner. The first employee,
who admitted not only to Suzy working
there but also to the fact that Secrets knows she's a Nazi, asked us to not stand in front
of the store and stated *yall do your thing why can' she do hers’ and “I've seen her be
nice to black people at work”. The second employee who came out was bit more hostie
and tried to deny her working there even though the first employee openly admitted to
it. Shorly after, a guy who claimed to be the owner came out of a taxi, ripped flirs from
Protesters hands and began screaming in peoples faces in a fit of rage. Just seconds
after his arival the second employee, the owner and the store itself were pelted with a
barrage of eggs leaving them even angrier than before. Once again all the antifa man-
‘aged to make a clean get away just before police arived.
ATTACKED AGAIN!
After attempting, and almost with success,
to mislead enquiing customers, it was
confirmed that Suzan M Lenner, a member
of the National Socialist Movement(NSM)
stll works at Secrets (3229 N Clark). As
you should expect Chicago Antifascists e
‘sponded appropriately by launching a cin-
der block that read “fire suzy through the
glass front door. This is the second time
their windows have been smashed adding
to the list of attacks including locks being
glued shut and their sympathetic manager
being pelted with eggs.
Chicago antifascists and antiracists con-
tinue to ask for a boycolt of Secrets and
demand that she resign or be fired. We

“THIZ NINUTEMEN” FILWM CREW MIET WITH
PROTESTS, EGGINGS & A SHIT-FILLED PIiz
AT CHICAGO INTERNATIONAL FILM FEST
A new anti-mmigrant propaganda fim “The
Minutemen" is touring the country in an at-
tempt o legitmize the racist violence perpet-
uated by gun-toling viglante border pairols.
The movie has managed o sneak itself into IIUAIREAVINTTCL G U
Several fim fosts and even won a fow awards
inclucing “Best Documentary’ and “Grand
Jury Award" at the Brooklyn Fim Festival
Disturbingly the fim has managed to screen
at the Chicago Intemational Fim Festval
where it also won the *Sitver Hugo" award.
“The fim spotights the work of the Mountain- [y
top Minutemen led by racist Robert *Lil Dog' ‘
Crooks who arms his followers and stalks the (ANY
US-Calfornia border. The Mountainiop Min-
utemen were in the news in 2007 for releas-
ing a disturbing fim showing the shooting of a
Mexican immigrant inside the US border.
“The screening took place on Octaber 15-16 and Robert Crooks himself was invted to come
speak along With producer Nicholas Weissman and director Corey Wascinski (obvious min-
utemen sympathizers). Although we only had a day nofice to prepare for the event, e were.
able to demonstrate sirong opposition to the fim in a number of ways.
On the 15th, about ten protesters met Robert Crooks ouside the theatre with chants of "No.
Nazis No KKK No Fascist USA” while holding a banner that said “World Without Borders”
while dozens o festival attendees, curious bystanders and security observed. Robert Crooks
wasn't hard to spot n full body camoflauge fatigues as he arroganly taunted the crowd. Later
after Crooks had several drinks at the bar, he was slammed with eggs as he was trying to
leave the festival
“The fim screened again the next day at the same time as protesters marched just a few
blocks away on Michigan Avenue for the Midwest Regional Anfi-war acton. Afer the march
‘ended, olks headed to the theatre to once again greet the fim crew with protest. This time
around, we acquired several tikes from a sympathetic festival empioyee and was able to
Sneak several subversives inside. As the Q & A session started afer the fim, several people
were able to isrupt Robert Crooks wih shouls of ‘Racist Pig!” to Crooks and the fim crow,
bringing the screening 1o an abrupt end as securty shut down the Q & A session while strug-
gling o escortprotesters outside.
1f we had more advance notice of the screening we would have utlized more effective ways
to'shut down the event ifwe were not able to convince the Chicago Internatonal Film Festival

However, anifas were able to confont one of the three people who spoke on behalf of the fim.

OCTOBER 16 MIDWEST REGIONAL
ANTI-WAR MARCH IN CHICAGO
Ifi. 2'" Rally and March
The Midwest says,
END the Wars &
Occupations NOW!
Money for Human Needs,
NOT Corporate Greed
FROM CHICAGOMASSACTION.ORG:
On October 16th, please come to Chicago For a Midwest Regional March for Peace
and Justice!
Many hoped that the end of the Bush Presidency would mean an end (o ilegal U.S.
wars and a focusing on human needs. Yet nearly two years into the Obama adminis-
tration, the occupation inIrag continues, with more private miltary contractors taking
the place of departing soldiers and the world's largest embassy set to squat n the
heart of Baghdad.
The ‘peace president* has dramatically escalated the Afghanistan invasion ? at nine.
years, America's longest war. He's spread war into Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia.
He's supported a brutal coup in Honduras, is building threatening new U.S. miltary
bases in Colombia, and ignores lsrael's war crimes against the Palestinians and
those seeking to aid them.
The Bush-era attacks on civiliberties have if anything escalated, with Obama push-
ing for an even more powerful and unaccountable executive branch, assassinating
people abroad at a far greater rate, and increasing the deportations of undocu-
‘mented immigrants by more than 50%.
Yet while the economy continues o stumble, with ever-higher foreclosure rates,
Stagnate wages and persistent unemployment, the income gap between the rich
and the rest of us gets ever wider. Adding insult to injury, President Obama has
pledged a domestic spendiing freeze at the same time that he's brought U.S. miltary
‘spending to it highest level ever. 57% of the federal budget s spent on war.
On October 16th on the eve of the 2010 bi-elections, please join us in President
Obama’s home town to demand:
END the Wars & Occupations NOW!
Money for Human Needs, Not Corporate Greed!
The October 16th protest will begin with a short 12:30 PM rally i the heart of Chi-
cago's downtown ~ Michigan Averue and Congress Parkway — followed by a march
on Chicago'’s busiest thoroughfares.
TIPS FOR ANTI-FASCIST STREIE
1) Preparing in Advance
Aftr receiving intel on a march, meeting, or show where fascists are gathering it is
standard and highly recommended to case(check ou) the terrain you will be batling on
ahead of time. I the event is a great distance away and the trp can only be made once
you can use Intenet resources such as google maps to potentialy ind pictures of the
terrain
- Discuss tactics. Best route of action, back up plans, escape routes, al possible mis-
fortunes, roles/dutesiscouts, strikers etc.), decide buddiesisee #2) emergency contacts
and a litle saved money if possible.
+When discussing roles, be open and realisic about your comfort zone. Being a strker
‘and not following through can resultin a comrade’s loss.
+ Weaponry. f you feel you must bring weapons, take ones that are legal and preferably
unconventional; rocks, U-locks, heavy water canteens et (be creative). Large numbers.
and training is always the best weapon
~ Train. Regular self-defense training will not only make you more fi for batle but is
‘good tool fo buiding camaraderie with your crew. Having a steady and reliable group of
people you consistently work and train wih is highly recommended.
+ When recruiting members for your crew, shoot for someone sireet or common sense
‘smart and dedicated individuals not any old tough guy/gir. It i easier to teach someone
‘smart how to ight then it s o teach some diot who can fight how to be smart.
2, Fight smart, not strong
Safely in numbers: 2-1 is good, 3-1Is better. We must always have a numbers advan-
tage in order to prevent a loss on our side. Anli-fascism isn' won by being the toughest
its about being smart and prepared. The fascists don't understand this and that is why.
they almost always lose. A death or loss on our side is rare and can be detrimental to
our movement. The murder of LA antiracists Dan and Spit set our network back and
can destroy a local chapter. I's not about being tough enough to figh, s about winning.
We must always win so choose your battles where you have the advantage every time.
+ Element of surprise. Getting the jump on someone when they don't expect it gives.
You the advantage, especially when you are dealing with someone who is more physi-
cally equipped. Not to mention you have
prepared for the batlle and they may not
have. Neverlet the enemy know when and
how you wil strike,
+ Buddy system. Travel in groups of two.
Have a buddy and don't leave each other
behind.
- Separate and blend in. Don't walk in a
group of 20 unless it for intimidation or
of course f the time calls for it. Split up in

- Be tactical when choosing clothing. Black.

With the collapse of the INSF, James Logsdon is attempting 1o il the void by holding
several failed meet-and-greet barbecue recruitment events ~ including their most recent
plans for a cross / nazi swastka burning held by Ron Runi and EIi James on November
7th near the border of Indiana and Michigan which never ended up happening because
their members flaked out. But with all of Logsdon's trash talking of the INSF as being
pedophile apologists, it seems Logsdon himself is unable to come 1o terms with simiar
allegations with members of his own group. Joel Duffesne, a leading Creativity Move-
ment member, was arrested in 2006 for kidnapping and raping the mother o his son Hale
(named after imprisoned WCOTC leader Mat Hale). While Logsdon claims to be one of
the few able to stand up to Turpel, he has continuously defended Dufresne.
“This hasn't been a good year for the *Reverend" and friends: after having his front teeth
knocked out during his second prison sentence, his Creatiity friend Brian Moudry (304
S.Reed St Joliet, IL) was arrested in Joliet after widly waving guns and threatening peo-
ple, hs friend Brother Marshal in the Washington Creators was exposed to be a police
informant, and most of his former friends in the World Church of the Creator turmed on
him and started splinter group Creativity Alliance. No wonder many in what s left of the
Creativity Movement i calling into question Logsdon’s leadership and want imprisoned
Matt Hale to be once again offcially recognized as Pontifus Maximus.
And we haven't forgotten about the handful of NSM members in Chicago - NSM Mat,
Susan Lenner, Michael Schioer, and others who also attended a few INSF events. They.
are also feeling the heat being confronted - at their jobs, schools, and at their homes.
Whil internal and external blows coupled with their own idiocy has left linois Nazis
highly ineffective and discreditable, things on our side of the fence are looking good.
One year later South Side ARA and comrades are hard at work and are st organizing,
smashing fascism in the sireets. While we have clearly won the war between us and the
INSF, the larger struggle againsi fascism and racist oppression is an uphill batlle that we
are determined to fight and win.

According to John Alexander of C-18, Langballe was also caught smoking weed with a
person of color(apparently horrble crime in the WN world). These are things that lead
to his own comrades thinking that he is one loose cannon who can't be trusted. Let's see
how much whie unity he's finding in Cook County Jail where he has been sitting for more:

From TribLocal
A Wilmette man was charged with breaking into a gas station to steal lottery ickets.
Patrick Langballe, 34, of 1936 Schiller Ave., was charged recently with burglary,
police said. Authorities said Langballe smashed the front door of the BP gas station,
901 Lake Ave., and stole instant lottry tickets at 1:15 &.m. on Nov. 1.
“Ho was identified off & video sunveillance,” said Wilmette Police Sgt. Kyle Murphy.
“We knew it was him. It was @ matter of locating him."
Langballe agreed to come into the Wilmette Police Department, where he was ques-
tioned and later charged, Murphy said. He allegedly stole 70 instant lottey tickets
valued at $500, Murphy said
“There were some winners,” Murphy said. *But he didn' successfully cash them in."
‘Bond was set Dec. 6 and Langballe was given a Dec. 20 court date at Skokie court-
house. Langballe could not be reached for comment.
YELLOW CAB FINALLY R
PHOBIC TAXI CAB ADS
‘The racist organization “Stop Islamization of Americar, which describes itself as a *hu-

Yellow Cab but eventually the company buckled under community outrage and had the
ads removed:
MOVES ISLAMO-
Antiislam Ads Removed from Chicago
Taxis: Yellow Cab says ads are offensive
to Musiims
A series of controversial ads targeting Is-
lam will b removed from fleet of Yellow
Cab taxis.
The ads were sponsored by a group
called “Stop Islamization of America,”
which claims the U.S. is under attack by
Islamic law, reports the Chicago Tribune. The group is also a strong opponent of
plans to build a mosque near Ground Zero in New York City.
Some of the ads, which appeared on about two-dozen cabs, show women who
were allegedy killed by their Muslim fathers for not agroeing o enter into forced
marriages. Next to these images is the question: s your family threatening you."
Pamela Geller, leader of Stop Islamization of America, has been quoted as say-
ing Muslims are increasingly taking over schools and other institutions in America.
Geller said the ads were directed at “Musiim girls in trouble, lving in fear of their
lives, struggling to find resources fo help,” she lold the paper.
Yellow Cab CEO Michacl Levine had the signs removed because he said they were
offensive to the city's Musiim taxi drivers, reports the Chicago Tribune.
The ads come at a time when Musims are fighting to build a mosque near Ground
Zero in New York City. Whille President Obama has show support for the plan, Gov-
emor Pat Quinn came out against it last week.
Levin says a fleet of independent Yellow Cabs carried the ads. The owner of that
fleot was paid by an advertising company to display them on top of the taxis. Three
weeks ago Levin says he called the company (o have the ads removed. Yellow Cab
was lold they were taken down, but according to the Chicago Tribune throe ads are
stil running.
“They will be removed,” Levine told the Tribune. “Yellow Cab doss ot regularly ap-
prove advertising content carried by our affiates, but we do reserve the rightto ask
them to remove ads that offend cither the divers o the public.”

Not surprisingly, the white supremacist crowd is praising the bill as a “comprehensive.
attack on immigration, multiculturalism, and political correctness,” and calling for a “quiet
‘awakening’. This call to action seems to reflect a growing trend of racist activity in Indi-
ana . In an effort o bring this underground “awakening" to ight (and hopefully put it back
to sleep), the following is an overview of the major places and players in Indiana.
‘The capital of Indiana, and center of the anti-imiigrant bill debate, has had KKK mem-
bers in control of many of its goverment offices. These include the Indiana General

both open Kiansmen. One current Indianapolis racialist group, *Hoosler Nation” (which
‘sometimes goes by the Indiana Council of Conservative Citizens or the Indiana Tea

onstration against the Hollywood fim Machete, a demonstration against an Al Sharpton
speaking event, and attempled to attend the failed 2011 American Renaissance racist
conference, which was shut down by Anli-fascists. Their leader, Matt Parrott, wrote the
book *Hoosier Nation," an unapolageically racist book which uses a misguided sense.

Jaenelle Antas is an Indianapolis-based racist who organiz-

groups like Council of Conservative Citizens, Hoosler Nations and Indiana Tea Parly.
She is a Holocaust denler and the main US contact for Nazi sympathizer David Irving,

event was cancelled entirely due to infighting and mistrust within their ranks (according

iton ‘bad weather.” After many years of watching his friends become informants, victims
of violent attacks, or imprisoned (and having his teeth knocked out in prison because of
s racist beliefs), James Logsdon still continues to attempt 1o recruit up new mernbers,
specifically targeting vulnerable populations (such as pedophiles and teenagers) and
rednecks (ke Brian Moudry) for white activism.

“While Pride World Wide” march. They also tried organizing a
rally in San Pierre, IN, recruiting attendees from stormfront.org,

in ffty miles of Chicago as good as dead,
South Side ARA been forced o search
in the wider region for fascists to expose.
First off is Michael Peterson of the Grand
Rapids melro area. You may remember
him as Ragnar, mocked intensely as a
divider of the white pride movement and
possible undercover ZOG agent on Patrick
Langballe's classic video “Juliet is a pig
88", Juliet being his kid's mother who has cheated on him with other men in the ‘move-
ment. You might have even seen him i pictures of this year's Hiller Birthday Celebration
in Chicago (he's the one furthest to the left). He Is Nazi that spent nine years in federal
prison and now blogs, paints dolls and figurines, ights with his own communily on the
interet, writes about mead on the interet and attends school at Grand Rapids Com-
munity College for writing and journalism. On top of this, he s a leader of the Gallows
‘Tree Wotansvolk Alliance, a cully religious group that blends Norse Paganism with whie
supremacy and forbids ifs members to be part of any other organizations. This outfit
organized the Jackson, Michigan White Pride World Wide march March 22 ast year.
Now simply exposing Michael for his fascist activism (usually carried out by the name
Ragnar Whiteson, Ragnar Odinson, or Wotansvolk) would be enough, but it gets far
juicie. Early last year, a White Culture Club attempted (and failed) to start up at Grand
Rapids Community College. On the Gallows Tree Forum Michae| owns up to the factthat.
he and other Gallows Tree members started the White Culture Club to help promote the
religion he leads. But look up earlier on the thread at the arlicle by the name of “White

ginning of the controversy. And its author: Mike Peterson, Collegiate Staff Writer. That's

The conficts that populated Irving's 2009 tour exemplif the danger that venues are
sure 1o face should they host his events. Irving, fearing confrontations during his tour,
had hired “Tip of the Spear,” a group which advertises private security for white power
events. At the 2009 Palm Beach function, the very people he hired for security had init-
ated a knife fight amongst warring neo-Naz attendses Christopher Nachtman and John
Kopko. The event was booked under Focal Point Productions and the Ritz-Cariton had
0 idea who Irving was. Additionally, one person attending last year's Chicago function,
John Gisselbrech, was hospitalized during the aniifa disruption, hurt so badly that he has
hired the prominent Deratany Firm to file a lawsuit against David Irving, his pubiishing
‘company Focal Point Productions, and Edelweiss Restaurant (who hosted Irving for the
second year in a row) for failng to make adequate security precautions. The milion dol-
Tars at stake may shut down these businesses down-yet another warning of what might
happen o spaces that host fascist speaking events. Further, they give warning t0 the
puerile few considering attending, as o just what might happen if they do attend. They
willbe confronted, exposed, shut down, and humiliated.
Interestingly, David Iving's tour manager and
personal assistant for the second year in a
rowis Jaenelle Antas (7823 Ella Dobbs L, In-
dianapolis, IN 46227 317-379-8871, 305 923

David Irving, much like our own Chicago-based holocaust denier (and Northwestern
University professor) Arthur Butz (2214 Central St, Apt 3 Evanston, IL 60201) and all
other proponents of holocaust denial, have a very specific agenda that, upon further ex-
‘amination, has less to do with spreading their distorted fantasies, and more about Nazi
‘sympathy, scapegoating Jews, and legitimizing racism. Holocaust deniers are attempt-
ing to lft the taboo off the holocaust in order to make Nazism a more accepted mass.
politcal ideology; in other words, they deny the holocaust so that it can happen again.
Even some Nazis, such as Wiliam Pierce, find this to be absurd, claiming that holocaust
denial proves one to be incapable of iving up 1o the duties of white nationalism. Pierce
and those who recognize that the holocaust happened believe it is something to be
proud of and feel it should be understood as something necessary.
We anti-fascists find this historical perversion
appaling, but — more importantly — find it an
impetus to destroy their quest of creating a po-
tentialfor fascism o gain ground. David Irving's
atiempts to legitimize such a movement and to
Victimize Nazis as being bad jacketed must be
metwith organized miltant resistance and shut
down everywhere he attemps to make an ap-
pearance.

or active in public, we're there. We don't believe in ignoring them or staying away from
them. Never let the Nazis have the street!”
Below are the dates and locations where David Irving is scheduled to make an appear-
ance. He frequently books his events under fake names 1o mislead the venues into not
knowing whal exaclly they are getting into, and to prevent the possibilty of being con-

DAVID IRVING’S INDIANAPOLIS SPEAKING
EVENT ATTACKED... TWICE
Its only been a few days since David Irving began the second portion of his 2011 tour
‘and already the Midwest has been delivering miltant antfa resistance. His first Midwest
speaking event was to take place in Indianapolis speaking to members of the racist hale
groups Hoosier Nation and American Third Position. However, the ight before, the MCL
Cafeteria hosting the event had several windows bashed out with bricks that read “Shut
David Irving Down” and *No Nazis", forcing the MCL Cafeteria to shut down the event
‘and tell Hoosier Nation that they can no longer host their monthly racist gatherings there.
Matt Parratt and Jaenelle Antas had to scramble to find another emergency location at
the last minute, although they have tied to claim, as the boneheads usually do, that this
was not the space for their event. We know this is bulshit because dependable intel-
ligence sources have confirmed this before and after bricks were thrown.
Anifa communique from an anonymous email
On April 81h, the night before holocaust denier and nazi sympathizer David Irving's
Indianapolis speaking event, we paid the hosting restaurant an early isit. Three
Bricks witten with “Shut David Irving Down” and “No Nazis" were launched through
the windows to harass the MCL Cafeleria and to provent Irving from speaking there.

“terrorist” organizations. And the same government that Bill White's lawyers say are “per-
secuting him for his ideas” are also prosecuting folks standing up against racist terror ke
the Love Park 4, Arpaio 5, Dee and Kelsey, and more.
Sowhile you may hear the big stories lie Bill White, or “Operation Stormiront” which net-
ted over 50 white power gang member arrests in California last month, or Chicago's own
Patrick Langballe and Mariusz Wdziekonski, it does not make up for the every day racial
profiing and police brutality committed by the criminal ‘justice” system. A disproportion-
ate majorty of people behind bars are people of color up against racist cops, judges,
jures, politicians with much more power over our lives than a handful of nazi losers. The.
tealty is that the prison industrial complex — a white supremacist insttution acting as an
extension of modern day slavery - must be abolished entirey if we are serious about
fighting oppression in all forms.
Atthe 2010 ARA conference in Portiand our second point of unity was modified to further
articulate our opposition to their court systems:
We don't rely on the cops or courts to do our work for us. This doesn't mean we.
never go to court, but the cops uphold white supremacy and the stalus quo. They at-
tack us and everyone who resists oppression. We must rely on ourselves to protect
ourselves and stop the fascists.
We don't seek in asking permission from anybody 1o gather in public or to drive out the
facsists using whatever tactics are most effective. We also refuse to cooperate with the
State o leave it all up to systematic reforms 1o fight racism as if they were capable of it
anyway. Miltant direct action — ike the kind delivered to the NSM every time they attempt
to march in Phoenix — s the only way we'll be able to destroy all that stands in our way
of ereating an egalitarian society free from racist sexist and homophobic oppressions.
Although we are happy Bill White i of the streets (and that he won't be allowed near
the intemet when he gets out) this does not mean we believe locking Nazis up is a real
solution (especially considering it possible they will be supported by white prison gangs
such as the Aryan Brotherhood, the Northsiders, Nazi Low Riders and ofhers). Don't get
us wrong — we aren't exactly rushing to defend the “free speech” of racist scum like Bill
White. But the prosecuters securing a convicton in ths case also sets dangerous legal
precedent which can and has n the past been used to repress revolutionary movements.
at an even greater magnitude. Consider the 2005 Toledo Ohio riots against the NSM
rally organized by Bil White — when the NSM announced they would retum to Toledo
in December for a second rally, the city of Toledo passed the day before an emergency
injunction banning any public gathering anywhere outside the downtown permited area.
This injunction was eventually used to arbitariy arrest over dozens of anti-acists for
simply gathering in public a ibraries and elsewhere.
Bill White followed in the foolsteps of Matt Hale: he attempted to be a national white
power leader and threatened a lot of innocent peaple and organized others into action,
butin the end he got more than he bargained for. He tried so hard o be some sort of mar-
tyr but never quite made it - difficult when he is hated by so many even other Nazis who

anywhere is a threat 1o justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network
of mutualiy,tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all
indirectly” We can only hope that white workers come to realize that white supremacist
beliefs and practices only weaken the working-class - 1o the advantage of the small
capitalist elte
The poliical and economic elite in the United States is ruthlessly using the aftereffects
of the Great Recession as a pretext to further weaken the economic, social and po-
Itcal conditions of the working-class. It was the actions of the captains of industry and
‘commerce and their politcians that were responsible for the massive job losses, near.
collapses of major inancial firms, housing foreclosures (which largely affected racialized
urban communities) and overall ‘bust of the capilalist business cycle.
One of the effects of the preceding events was a massive reduction in revenue flowing to
the coffers of the different levels of government. It should be noted that prior and ongoing
tax cuts - granted by the politcal class to corporations, wealthy individuals and high in
‘come earners - were also critical factors in the deficis now faced by state governments.
Butitis the working-class in the public sector and the members of our communities who
our current period of wage-slavery. Marx's 1867 assertion remains valid today: “In the
United States of North America, every independent movement of the workers was para-
ysed so long as slavery disfigred a part of the Republic. Labour cannot emancipate
itselfin the white skin where in the black itis branded" (emphasis mine). [10]
The class struggle and a united working-class movement in the Unted States (and Can-
ada) will remain “paralyse", deformed and underdeveloped, i the commitment 1o the
elimination o white supremacy does not become a siralegio goal o the organized labour
and the general working-class. Would the outpouring of solidarty ith Wisconsin work-
ers be the same ifthe target was a group oflargely racialized public sector workers?
Ford captures the issue at stake - the role of race and white supremacy in limiting the
class struggle in the United States:
Wisconsin is, in a sense, a near-ideal terrain for a showdown with the Tea Party
brand of Republicanism. The actors i the drama are overwhelmingly white, putting
the raw class nalure of capital's aggression in stark relef. With rlatively few Black
‘scapegoats to complicate the issue, while folks must confront the bare facts of the.
way late-stage capitalism tramples ordinary people as it careens from crisis o criss.
Or, maybe not. White supremacy is a dynamic ideology that has always been central
to the domestic functions of American Exceptionalism, distorting not just race rela-
tions but all ther social relations, as wel. Once the foundational Nigger has been
invented and given life in the public mind, with all his purported logic-bending and
‘Society-polluting defects, his{fher] characteristics can be imputed to other targeted
‘groups - a ready-made demonization kit. Public employees in general and teachers
in particular now find themselves Niggerized as lazy featherbedders, no-count ma-
lingerers, fellow travelers with welfare queens and other human malignancies that
must be excised so thal the free marke! can work its wonders. [11]
‘The task facing us class struggle and anti-oppression advocates is to be ‘ruthlessly”
frank and firm in our commitment to challenge and eradicate white supremacy within the
labour movement, the general working-class and the structures of the wider society. It
was encouraging to know that the question of race and centring the inerest of the racial-
ized working-class surfaced within the conversations of the Madison resistance - albeit
in a fairly marginal space. (12] The objeciive realty facing organized labour and the
working-class in general i the need for a fullintegration of 2 principled anttracist prac-

ANTI-FASCISTS VS FASCISM VS THE STA
A THREE WAY FIGHT, NOT DEMOCRACY IN
CRISIS
‘The State: is the compulsory polical institution of a centralized government that mai
tains a monopoly of the use of force within a certain teritory. It applies to the courts, the.
cops, the laws, the politcians etc.
Fascism: A grass-roots revolutionary and self-proclaimed ant-capitalst movement
based on racialireligious or other superiorty and a false sense of victimization. fascism
attaches itself to populistideology, reles on political violence and deceit and oftenis void
of a polical platform. It seeks internal cleansing and external expansion.
Capitalism: An economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means
of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by
private individuals or corporations, especially as contrasted to cooperalively or state-
owned means of wealth
The way we describe things and how we define them s importan. Misunderstood and
misused terminology, definitions that are not appropriate to their origins and genealogy,
are dangerous. In this case the term at hand is ‘fascism’. You can attempt to describe
fascismin a static image, as we have before for reasons of simpliciy, but tis best under-
Stood as it has existed and how it has functioned. Often to understand what something
is you must understand what it is not, and that is where the purpose of this piece comes.
into play. Many lefists and even anarchists fail o understand that fascism and the State
are two very different things. There are two reasons why it is necessary to recognize
these as completely separate entiles. First, to equate fascism with the State, or even
worse, bureaucracy, is to misunderstand fascism and to obfuscate what it really is. This
minimizes its opposition by maximizing its abilies to go unnoticed. Second, to recognize
the state as fascist fuels an attempt 1o attack its “fascist” leadership. This strengthens the.
State by taking away from the idea that it s oppressive in ifs very nature. That the entire
framework of the system itself must be destroyed, not just s supposed leadership.
Liberal antifascists may recognize the difference in definiion but do not oppose the state
o capilalism. They atiempt 1o stage the discourse and struggle of antifascism as de-
mocracy vs fascism, seeing fascism as, most importantly, a threat to the established or-
der. This once again strengthens the state, by urging the necessity for a more democralic
society and a more pure capitalism. We recognize that fascism is something different,
Yet we also want nothing to do with capialism and the state. So which is worse? There
is no simple answer 1o this. Fascism in power (which some purists would argue is not
fascism at all given it had to sacrifce s own ethics to gain that power) may be far more
brutal, however, if every stage of fascism is a fascist movement in itsef, then one that
never got past ifs own self realization could certainly not be worse than U.S democracy.
Not only that, but how do we measure strength? Is it how easy something is to destroy?
Obviously fascism is far easier (o defeat than Capitalism, so maybe it is a question of
which produces the other. Some Manxists say that fascism is capitalism in crisis and
democracy is the mode of operation in which fascism is born out of. But the question of
which produces the other becomes irrelevant when we realize that capitalism, fascism,
and the state must be destroyed.

Andy Kroll, a writer and an eyewitness at the protest actions against this potentially
‘game-changing legisative attack on public sector unionism, states that “within a week
there were close to 70,000 protesters fiing the streets of Madison." (5] The writer was so
moved by the spirit o resistance in the occupied Capitol building in Madison and events.
in the street that he declared, “Believe me, the spirt of Cairo is here. The air is charged
with it [6]
Whie the protests on the scale in Madison, Wisconsin may bring into motion forces that
represent radical or revolutionary demands, | am not among the commentators who are
overly impressed with what | have been seeing and reading. | am reminded of the i
struclive refrain of the African Jamaican dub poet, "A revolt ain'trevolution. A revolution
ught o be guided by revolutionary ideas and demands. It would be a stretch 1o even
think that the preceding condition exists in Wisconsin, or even Egypt. We are currently
at such a low level of movement activism or upsurge that even a ripple of protest may
inspire fantastic declarations and expectation.
However, Larry Pinkney of the online publication The Black Commentator has a more
Sobering assessment of the Wisconsin protest than Krol, which runs counter to the eu-
phoric pronouncements that | have read in alternative spaces:
While it is certainly heartening to see some people making and taking a stand in
Madison, Wisconsin, this does not mean that Wisconsin has somehow become
Egypt. It has not. There are numerous inherent contradictions that have yet (o be
forthrightly addressed in Wisconsin, U.S.A., and which strongly impact the most
economically and politicall dispossessed and despised of people in Wisconsin and
throughout the United States. [7) Pickney is raising questions about the oppres-
sion of the racialized working-class, inclusive of those with and without jobs. Their
‘material interest does not gamer substantive or broad sympathy from white union
bureaucrats and rank-and-fie members.
Where were the protests when Reagan and Clinton assaulted the working-lass by
changing “welfare as we know it" and demonized African Americans and the poor in the
process? Where was the howling from organized labour when Clinton proudly declared
his intention to put 100,000 additional cops on the streets of America 8] and dramatically
increase the number of Afficans, Hispanic and poor whiles in the prison-industrial com-
plex or penal colonies? Where was organized labour when affirmative action was being
savaged for merely trying to weaken white supremacist employment and ofher structural
bartiers in the workplace and the wider society?
‘Organized labour is willng to move when itis faced with self-evident existential threats.
Stephanie Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer of Wisconsin's AFL-CIO, seemed 1o con-
firm the preceding assertion when she noted, “(oJur very labor movement is at stake and
when that’s at stake, the economic security of Americans is at stake.”[9] | wonder wheth-
e her visual image of “Americans” looks like the people on Fulton Street in Brookiyn,
New York. On the contrary, when the *slings and arrows” fired at the racialized working:

ers, through their inaction or silence, tend to support the nitatives of the ruling-class.

tenuous or precarious standard of living to slay budgetary deficits across Amefica. From
the federal government under the pied piper leadership of President Barack Obama to
two-bit governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin to mult-millonaire Governor Rick Synder in
Michigan, tax-cuts to the well-heeled, disciplining of the working-class and social pro-

Many members of the United States’ working-class have been misiabeling themselves.
s middle-class as a result of the relentless ideological and social conditioning by the
‘combined forces of the media, school, family, poliicians, religious insttutions and even
union bureaucrats.
‘The capitalst or corporate elite are also implicated in the mental slavery or false con-
sciousness of workers. According to Funiciello, the capitaist elte, in its capacity as
bosses of the wage-slavery regime, plays a critcal role in keeping workers distracted
o servil:
Here in America, it has been difficult for rank-and-file Americans o see their own yoke.
That's how sophisticated is the hand of the very small elte that has controlled how many
jobs we will have, where we wil live, whether we will have a house or an apartment, how
ur children will be educated (or mis-educated?) and, even, what and how much we wil
eat. The consolidation of power over the people by that small eite has occurred over
several decades, but just now the minions of Corporate America are coming out info
the open and trying to administer the coup de grace. The minions are Republicans and,
unfortunately, they have had help from many Democrats.[3]
However, the current state-sponsored legislative intiatives aimed at destroying collec-
tive bargaining rights, decent wages, workplace benefits and the abilty of unions to
financially support politcal actviies — along with union-crippling “right to work” laws -
should disabuse workers of their middle-ciass llusions. f you sell your labour and do not
exercise substantive control over the organizing, managing and directing of work or the
labour process, you are a member of the working-class, period!
‘One may be forgiven for thinking that the pulse of resistance had disappeared from the
body of organized labour in the United States. Other than partcipation in the farce that s
electoral politcs (politicks?), organized labour has been, for the most part, absent from
politcal struggles against white supremacy, sexism and capitalism.
With the attack on public sector unionism in Wisconsin and other states and the tentative.
fight-back posturing of the labour movement that has begun to emerge i response, a cu-
rious observer may be excused for wondering aloud: “Has this Lazarus nowrisen from its
deathly sleep and re-discovered is historical mission?" Has Lazarus, the working-class,
finally remembered that fs principal role ought to be the batlle to free society from social
oppression? We will know the answer in the fulness of time. The assault on colective
bargaining rights of public sector workers by Governor Walker could be an undisguised
gift o social movement actvism. It has certainly been a long time since labour and its
allies have mobilized tens of thousand of people into the streets over point of production

anonymous anarchists in solidarity with
several victims of state repression/murder.
Modesto, CA: Dec. 6, a group of 15 pro
testers marched into a Modesto police
station during @ public mesting, chanting
“Cops! Pigs! Murderers!” They wore masks
bearing the faces of two people kiled by
Modesto police in September. The an
archists disrupted the meeting shortly but
avoided any arrests.
Seattle, WA: Also on Dec. 6, a banner was

pulled out knives and rocks and attacked
the antifa, who scattered though a few of

Tomball, TX: This September Tombal
became the target of several racist anti-
immigrant groups and neo-nazis for the
city councis rejection of proposed ani-
immigrant ordinances. Pickets were orga-
nized by scumbags from the Minutemen,
Border Watch, and Tea Parly supporters,
and altended by racist bikers and neo-na-
2is. Texas antifascists came out in force to
‘oppose them, and one antifa was attacked
by a nazi with a camera tripod. The antfa
defended themselves, which prompted the
nazi to run 1o the police and show video
taken only after the attack had begun, lead-
ing to the antifascist's arrest.
Columbus, OH: Columbus is a ity with a
long history of radical antifascism, and did
not_disappoint this September when Co-
lumbus ARA received a tip that some local
boneheads would be mesting at a Lowe's

the Nazis in the parking ot and told them to
fuck off. The Nazis complied, leaving and
attempting (o regroup nearby, where they

HOLOCAUST DENIAL TOUR
The notorious holocaust denier and Nazi sym-
pathizer David Irving is al it again, attempt-
ing another US tour of thirty cities across the
Southern, Western and Midwesten states. The
topic of this year's speaking engagements?
“The Life and Death of Heinrich Himmler, Hit-
ler's lieutenant” Irving's fraudulent and me-
thodical endeavors to rewrite history commonly
attract other neo-Nazi miscreants and white supremacists to his gatherings. We're call
ing upon anti-racist organizations and individuals to confront his tour every step of the
way, and send a clear message that revisionism and fascist organizing is not welcome.

His troubled recallection of basic history must extend to the more recent past, when he
encountered fierce antifa resistance the last time he came to the states in late 2008,
The fact that Irving can't go aut in public without facing angry mobs trying to run him out
of town has forced Irving to organize in secret, going through great lengths to screen
potential attendees (o his event, never revealing the location unti the last minte, and
hiring private securiy. This has never stopped protesters from shutting down his events.

Irving speak.
In New Jersey, dozens of anti-fascists filed the.
Pompton Plains hotel, chanting and struggiing
with attendees. They were so effective in dis-
rupting the event that police had to escort at-
tendees out. The same happened a day later in
NYC, where the event was not only disrupted,
but both Irving’s tour manager Jagnelle Antas
and neo-Nazi friend Alex Carmichael were
pepper-sprayed. Faced with humiliation and
defeal, Irving was forced to cancel his next
few scheduled appearances, but the chaos did not end there. Days later his Chicago
event was shut down when dozens of masked antifasciss stormed into the Edeluweiss
restaurant turning over tables, destroying his merchandise, and assaulting attendees,
whil Irving and Antas locked themselves in a supply closet in a magnificent display of
cowardice:
Right i the middle of hs failed east coast appearances, his websites were also attacked
by anti-fascist hackers who released his private emails and databases to WikiLeaks. The
emails gave hilarious defails of the frustrations caused by Irving's infatuation with his
much younger assistant Jaenelle, and also eventually caused his landlord to kick Inving
out of his Winsdor home. More importantly this leak revealed private speaking locations
s well as names and addresses of dozens of racist Nazi sympathizers who purchased
tickets — a warning to those who would consider purchasing a ticket to Irving's gather.

MAKING RACIST COMMIENTS
Kenneth D. Snider, an llinois State Trooper, Carinvile school board member, MaCoupin
‘County democrat, ‘and former security chief for Governor Patrick Quinn, was attacked
on St. Patricks Day for making racist comments at a local Carlinville bar. The media is
being slow to acknowledge the racial element, but according to witnesses and dozens of
intemet postings, the story goes like this: when a black student from nearby Blackburn
college entered the Anchor Inn, Ken started making racial slurs including, “What's a
% doing in a while man's bar?" The policeman was nex! seen leaving the bar bruised
‘and bleeding. Ken Snider has since resigned from all official positions while an ‘internal
investigation is underway, but few official details have been released.
Racial slur led to fight with llinois trooper, student says

Blackbum College senior Bryan Reynolds, 22, said in an interview that the epithet
from state Trooper Ken Snider started the .. well, | wouldnt cai it a ‘brawi, but |
quess the fight.”
Reynolds' account of the St. Patrick's Day fight in the small community south of
Springfield raises new issues around Snider's sudden resignation the next day.
Snider; one of Quinn's top security people and a well-connected member of the
region's Democratic power structure, resigned shortly atter what offcials have de-
seribed as a barroom “altercation.”
The following day, Snider also resigned without explanation as head of the Ma-
coupin County Democratic Party and president of the Carlinville School Board.
Quinn's office has declined to comment on the matter because Snider lef the secu-
ity staffof the govemor, also Democrat
Reynold's account of the fight i the first direct allegation of a racial component in
the incident. Snider didn't respond to repeated calls to his home and cellphone, or
to amessage loft at a business operated by his wife.
Carlinville Police Chief David Haley confirmed that Snider called his home phone
and cellphone during the earfy morning hours of March 18 after a fight. Haley dis-
patched police to the Anchor Inn; no arrests were made. “Mr. Snider was involved in
an altercation," Haley said.
linois State Police are st investigaling o see if there was any criminal conduct or
criminal activiy that occurred that night," spokesman Scott Compton said. Compton
confirmed that a state trooper resigned in connection with the alterction, but he
declined to provide further information, pending the ongoing investigation.

but he s very much a supporter of the status-quo and the instiutionalized racism that
the civil righls movement fought against. This can be seen in his constant xenophobic
hetoric and quest for “white fights" n a society rooted in white supremacy.
Other more blatant examples of Beck's racism include the time that he called Hurricane.
Katrina survivors “scumbags’, caling Cinco de Mayo a “mexican beer holiday’, caling
the health care bill Obama's idea of ‘reparations", defending the Constitutions original
claim to African Americans being three-ffths of a human, the time he called Obama a
racist, and many more. Beck is also not surprisingly very popular amongst nec-nazis,
‘and Beck even once added a stormfront.org post (the largest white supremacist forum)
o his twiter favories. And for the August 26th rally,his tea party assistant Bruce Majors
published visitor's guide advising people to avoid “sketchy” neighborhoods and train
lines and “how to deal with Afican immigrants'.
Glenn Beck, however, is not just one bad apple. The tea party and right-wing movement
s a whole embraces these same racist tendencies and their ntent o spread thei hate
through gatherings like “Restoring Honor" and “Right Nation 2010° under the guise of
freedom and democracy must be confronted every step of the way. We must continue
to point out the contradictions and hypocrisies in their reactionary ideology and expose
them for what they really are; wolves in sheep's clothing.
NEO NAZI MARIUSZ WDZIEKONSKI
SENTENCED TO SEVEN YEARS
Mariusz Waziekonski(7800 block of Lawrence Ave in Norridge), an alleged member
of the neo-Nazi National Socialst Movement, was arrested in 2008 for vandalzing 67
graves of Jewish men and women interred in Westlawn Cemetery in Norridge, llinois
‘Convicted earler this month, he received a 7 year sentence (o be carried out at Statevill
prison in Joliet, While ARAIs glad to see one less white supremacist roaming the sreels,
we recognize the failures of the prison industrial complex, a system that sweeps prob-
lems under the rug without healing the damages caused to our communites.
Taken from the Chicago Tribune:
A Norridge man found guilty of a hate crime for spraying
anti-Semitc grafft on dozens of grave markers at a Jewish
cometery has been sentenced to seven years — the maxi-
mum penaly permited by law.
Judge Larry Axelrood called Mariusz Wdziekonski, 25, “a
bigot" before sentencing him today. “You have this warped
idea that you're going to be a hero to these other bigots and
white supremacists,” Axelrood said. “You wanted to infict
your hatred. You wanted to inflct your pain. You brought
‘shame to your family.” Wziekonski did no! speak during his sentencing at the Skok-
e branch courthouse.
Weziokonski was convicted of spray-painting anti-Seritc epithets and neo-Nazi
‘and white supremacist hate symbols on 67 headstones in Westiawn Cemeery in
January 2008. One grave marker was spray-painted with a noose with a Jewish Star
of David dangling from i, authortes said.
Wdziokonski, a Polish national, was arrested in February 2008. Investigators at the
time said he was a member of the National Socialist Movement, which the Anti
Defamation League has called the lergest and most active neo-Nazi group in the
United States. After his arrest, investigators found pictures of Wdziskonski dressed
‘as a German storm trooper and said he was fascinated with Nazi history and culture,
Assistant State's Attorney Lauren Brown said.
Held on $250,000 bond since his arrest, Waiziekonski has already been imprisoned
for almost three years and could therefore be eligible for early release in a fow
months. Proseculors said he could be deported to Poland.
Wdziokonskitestified in his own defense during the 2 %-day trial. He denied being
~neo-Nazi or white supremacist and said he was simply a collector of Nazi memora-
bili. Axelrood said that while the U.S. is a free counlry where peaple are allowed o
have hateful beliefs, they cannot act on them. “You can keep you beliefs, the judge.
told Waiziekonski, ‘and you can take them (o the penitentiary.”
“It s a hate crime because he doesn' fike a single group of people,” Brown said. ‘I

INSFF COLLAPSES AFTER LEADERSHIP
EXPOSED AS KNOWN PEDOPHIL
Does anyone remember that white nation-
alist group out of Peoria, llinois caling
themselves the linois National Socialist
Front (INSF)? Formed from the ashes of
the American National Socialist Workers'
Party (ANSWP) which was founded by
now-imprisoned Bill White after he was
excommunicated from the National So-
cialist Movement (NSM), they were once
the talk of the while nationalist move-
mentin llinois: a promising group holding
monthly mest.and-greet barbecus events,
distributing literature, organizing protests,
and even puting pro-white messages in
chidrens' easter eggs.
‘Their “success” seemed unchallenged un-
il South Side Chicago ARA came into the
picture. With face 1o face beat downs, mul-
tiple infitrations of their ranks, and public
humiliation at their attempted 2010 White Pride march where four nazis from different
whie nationalist organizations were beaten and arrested, they have been relatively quiet
since. Afte suffering utter defeat they stopped organizing any public events or updating
their website, in constant fear of fierce antia retribution. It is now known that the INSF
have disbanded.
Creativity Movement faiure James Logsdon (101 Tanner S, Bloomington, IL 61701)
gave a more disturbing explanation for the collapse of the INSF: one of their main or-
ganizers was discovered to be a convicted pedophile. It has been confirmed that Steve:
Turpel of the Arlington Heights INSF was imprisoned for kidnapping, rape, and chid
pornography. After his inilal arrest, several other victims came forward detailing Steve's.

guns and ammunition were found. Steve was surprisingly acquitted of the rape charges
despite community oulrage and after his sentence he was back on the streets with Il-
linois United" and the INSF organizing barbecue events at his house where he currently.
ives at 1308 W Northwest Hwy, Arlington Heighs, IL 60005. Especially disturbing when
teens go to events like an INSF barbeque or the Mokena Fest, or the 2009 St Patricks
Day Parade 1o be recruiled by the likes of Steve Turpel, who probably shouldn't be hang-
ing out with children at al.
Phil Anderson and other INSF members tried 1o keep this information about one of their
leaders a secret, even from other white supremacist organizations. Maybe because
Steve Turpel’s history is as disturbing and discrediting 1o the nazi movement as Bill
Riceio, Andrew Hengel, Levi Dale Lucas, or John Snyder. Or maybe the fact that kidnap-
pers, rapists, and child molesters are atiracted o their movement reveals the blatant
‘contradictions of their supposed racial superiority.

+ Have enough money to take public transportation, tax or whatever home in case you
get separated.
~Don't have iliegal substances that may worsen your legal situation if you are arrested.
Hit and retreat. Self explanatory. Make your move, make it good, and back out. Don't
get greedy. Get out of sight fast, disrobe and act natural.
~ Never leave comrade behind.
3) In case of arrest
- Be prepared ahead of time. Have
some cash on hand available for
emergency bail funds. Develop a
relationship with a lawyer.
+ Before an action, review and di
cuss all potential charges you're
facing if caught so there are o sur-
prises and everybody understands
‘and is prepared (o take the risk
+ If artested, do not give any ver-
bal or writien statements, agree to
be interviewed, or sign anything. If
everyone keeps their mouth shut,
everyone may go home. The magic
words are *I have nothing to say, |
want to see my lawyer"
+ Have people not involved with the
action on call who can be notified f
‘Something goes wrong or willknow if something is up because no one is making it back
in time or is responding 1o phone cals. Understand basic legal support roles including
raising money to post bail and calling the local precincts of look online to lacate where
people are being held and what charges they are facing.
4) Post action
+ Keeping a scout nearby to observe what happened afterwards is beneficial. Especially
to see if cops got involved or where they retreat to.
+ No need 1o brag. keep your lips sealed oulside of discussing successes and failures
with your comrades.
+Be sincere about your mistakes.fascists will ahways lie about there losses and it doesn't
do anything to prevent it from happening again. Don't feel the need to let the world know
they are lying, anyone with experience can see through the b.s. and more importantl,
they know the truth
+ Ifthey admit defeat they willalways exaggerate our numbers. Fascists focus on strength
‘and muscle and although they will fabricale that they won the street battl, they wil of-
ten give us credit unknowingly in other areas: Infirating them, setting them up, being
well prepared and well organized etc. As long as they can say they won the physical,
they think its good propaganda. They are also into the martyrdom so they may state the.

SOUTH SIDE CHICAGO ARA RI
ON JULY 31ST DAY OF ACTION
Chicago-area anti-racist organizations came together
for the July 31st Day of Action Against Racism and
Fascism, organizing a variety of actions and events.
PORTBACK
During the day, South Side Chicago ARA hosted a
meet-and-greet barbecue event with like-minded ant-
racists. We ate awesome vegan food, played games,
‘and distributed literature. In atlendance were members
from Bring The Ruckus, North Side ARA, Four Star An-
archist Organization, lowa City's Wild Rose Collecive,
‘and a handiul of other anti racists and antifas. After the
barbecue, folks supported a local purik show benefit-
ting Anarchist People of Color (APOC) and tabled with literature and an updated “Know
Your llinois Nazis" posters.
Additionally, we released detailed personal information on several linois area nazis.

reminding them that they will no longer be able to organize and spread their hate in
secrecy. In the week prior to the 31st, we also flyered the neighborhoods of several nazi
‘scum o inform their neighbors of theirinvolvement i hate groups.
On July 2th, members of ARA participated in a national day of action against 81070
‘and rallied at Cook County Jail, where hundreds gathered to demand a moratorium on
deportations. Cook County Jail has frequently been found violating prisoner's human
and civilrights resulting in numerous lawsuits and criminal investigations, and is also
the major place in Chicago where ICE and local police collaborate to deport immigrants
using “immigrant holds'
Other Chicago revolutionary groups participated in the July 31st Day of Action by orga-
nizing several actions throughou the day. In the morning, members of Four Star Anar-
chist Organization distributed fiyers and spoke with community members near the CVS.
at 26th and Pulaski where Anthony Kyser, an unemployed person of color and father,
was murdered by the hands of CVS manager for stealing crayons and toothpaste while
a Cook County Jail Correctional Officer (CO) pointed a gun at Kyser. In the evening,
members from Bring The Ruckus flyered Rogers Park informing neighbors about Soren
Renner, a while supremacist who lives in the area and actually spotted and confronted
the creep while he was slinking around the Heartand Cae.
Finally, we also released a zine documenting much of the work we've done over past
year. We hope that this publication willstart a larger discussion in strategizing ways we
‘can more effectively combat al forms of oppression in our ciy.
We are satisfied about how folks came together in Chicago for the Day of Action — both
taking the offensive against known while supremacists while also organizing against
broader forms of racist injustice in society. We are also exciled to hear reports coming in
from other ARA chapters about how their actions went . We expect great things through-
outthe year.
MARCH 10 IMMIGRANT RIGHTS
MOBILIZATION / LIBERATION §
The recent struggles for liberation in North
Affica has served to fuel the combatant
spirt all over the world. In the US, the
siruggle in Wisconsin is the assertion of the
‘ongoing workers movement that has found
astrong echo in the struggles in Ohio, lowa
and Indiana. Public sector workers, youth,
anti-war organizations and disabily actv-
ists are consolidating their unity to address
the mulifaceted system of oppression that
produces inequalty and constructs borders
between oppressed communities, keeping
us divided. This s the time to expand even
further the politcal vision of mainstream
organizing in the United States. I is time
1o bring forth a vision and concrete tools to
challenge the politcs of scapegoating and
austeriy that conceal the root causes of the.
current social, poliical and econornic crisis.

The ongoing criminalization of immigrants is partof a global economic system that finds
proitin the incarceration, displacement, and repression of millons across the globe. De-
spie the solidarly tha has blossomed among people who are recogrized by the system
as being citizens and those who are labeled as undocumented, ctizenship continues to
be one of the main mechanisms for rendering people exploitable. Ithas been wielded as
2 futhless tool for dividing us, forcing us o compete against each other n 2 global race

up during the Egyptian revoluton, s a calto “ross borders” befween struggles, between
divided communities and between forced politcal identites. Because in a system of
Iaws that are stacked against us, we are all becoming undocumented, exploitable — from
thase intemaly displaced to communites facing mass incarceraton, rom criminalized
dissenters to ANOL soldiers. The struggle cannot be merely 2 fight or ‘papers”, for we
are fighting the perpetuation of the same system that makes us al increasigly ilegit

Here in Chicago, our unity is a microcosm of the larger interconnected struggles hap
pening around the world. And the fights we must face together at home — against the
recently introduced ant-mmigrant bl in the llinois General Assembly and a mayor with
‘an agenda of privatization - reflect the larger ones we face as a society.
We extend this invitation to organizations and communities to join us at Liberation
Square. As people committed to fighting for immigrant justice, we recognize we can
o longer look to policians and their iberal organizations for real change. Liberation
Square is a time and place where we can come together and build a new culture, a new.
politcs, to harness the power of unity and create real change.
ANTI-CHOICER’S CARS ATTACKED AT
SCHEIDLER’S APPRECIATION C VIONY
On April 2nd, Monica Millr, executive director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Saciety (and a
long-time friend of the Scheidlers), held a trbute to pro-ife chauvinist and martyr Joe
Schieder, bringing a number of relgious zealots and fundamentalist wingnuts together
at the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza just northwest of Chicago's Loop. Although the Pro-choic-
ers were outnumbered, and the show unfortunately went on, three cars of pro-ffers in
atiendance were attacked. Taken from Chicago Indymedia:
On the night of April 2nd, shortly after the pro choice demo against Joe Scheider,
‘another attack from pro-choice miltants was carried out against him and his follow-
ers. Three cars of pro-life actvists had their tres slashed. I's only been a few months
since two of Scheidlers front windows of his home wero atacked with chunks of
‘asphault than contained “cryptic” messages denouncing Scheidlers sexist bullshi.
Aside from wanting Joe to remove that Indiana Jones ass lookin hat, we hope, and
will see (o t, that his punk-ass receives constant and aggressive confrontation unti
he quits the ridiculous anti-choice bullshit. Him, his heinous looking son and his
chidren of the com-lke followers. Those who alfempt to take away ones freedom
deserve it not for themselves.
PROTESTS AGAINST “AMIERICANS FOR

In contrast to many on the far right such as Rev. Rick War-
ren, AFTAH's Execuive Director Peter LaBarbera is such an
unreconsiructed hater of LGBT people that he remains one
of the few who stil publicly support Uganda's notorious “kill

into the category of a “hate crime.”
Now here | must confess that | do
ot believe in hate crimes. A crime is
a crime. And chances are f you rob
‘someone or hurt him or throw a brick

don' like him. | don' think we need
layers of crimes with special labels fo
1y to keep order.
It tums out, however, that the “hate
crime” label does not fitths particular |
crime. The explanation? The perpe-
trator didn't hate us. She just hated
what we stand for. Rather a subtle
difference it seoms to me. The up-
shot is there won't be much investi-
‘gation unless it happens again. Z
Fortunately while the police offcer
was stll at our house, a handy man
pulled up. He was there (o fix a door. | asked him if he was prefty good at windows

Deathscort Training Session Same Night. Coincidence?
Afew hours afte the police report had been mad, | recalled that the liinois Choice.
Action Team (ICAT) had scheduled a training session for clinic escorts (o work at Al-
‘bany clinic where we regularly pray and counsel. The training was held about twenly
minutes from our house. Did the ICAT announce our home address to the recruits,
or did they come away from the training session in such a frenzy to stop pro-ifers
that they decided to pay @ visit o the Scheidlers? Who knows.
I called the police station (o give them the new piece of information, but the officer on
duty thought it was irelevant because there would be no way to prove that someone
from the training was the brick thrower. True, bu it certainly seems likely.
A brick through your window s a pretty smal price
o pay for your belefs. But there’s no quarantee
that tha's where it stops. We are blessed that so
‘many people pray for us on a regular basis. And
we have received many calls from pro-ife friends
with assurance of their prayers. That's why we
aren't espocially unnerved by this act of vandal-
ism. And that's why we will pray for the post-
‘abortive women who paid us a visit and tossed a
couple of bricks. Maybe 1o one else is praying for
them. I hope you'l join us.

NEW JERSEY REPORTBACK: THE
BATTLE OF PEMBERTON: ARA VS NSM
The National Socialist Movement (NSM),
2 group that tres to dance around the fact
that they are Nazis while sporling swast:
kas on their uniforms and sieg heiling, had
been planning to host their annual confer-
‘ence along with arally,redneck horse shoe
and band spectacle for several months. §
‘The dates were set for April 15th and 16th )
in Trenton, New Jersey. Of course we can
assume they expected some unhappy
spectators at the rally but what they didin't
predict was an al out batti that eft 4 of
their S8 security’ force in the hospital with
muliple staples. The NSM went through )
quite a bit of trouble keeping their event
and sieeping locations private. This was
nothing but waste of time for the NSM
considering the tumcoats within their organization leaked the information to anii-ascists
weeks in advance.
‘The 151h came around and a phone jam was put on both the hotel, where 50 or 60
of them stayed for the weekend(the Comfort Inn off 209 in Bordentown, NJ) and their
conference location (the 449 club at 6 Pemberton Ave in Pemberton). Just as the confer.
‘ence was about to begin 30 of us took the streets about 2 blocks away and marched in
black bioc to the conference location. Within that time several people living and passing
through the neighborhood began to stare from the cars and porches as we let them know
Nazis were meeting in their town. One person, upon nolification, parked Hhis car and
joined the bloc immediately, eager to confront the boneheads. By the time we arrived to
demonstrate a few nazis from the NSM gathered outside of the conference space but
within a fow seconds about 30 or 40 of their fully SS uniformed securty were out with
chairs, thinking they were about 1o kick some antia tail. After some exchanged words
the NSM walked off the property 1o engage us. They wanted a brawi...and we defended
ourselves successfully.
Aftr a brutal rumble of evenly matched
numbers the NSM quickly scurried back
1o the property with bashed skuls, bruised
faces and damaged property, sending 4
boneheads to the hospital (2 of which may
il remain there). AL this point the cops
had shown up and we managed to relreal
with one comrade minorly injured and two
arrested. It can be assumed tha fthe con
ference was not shut down completely, the |
talking they were doing had nothing to do. VS uvve-flags a the New Jersey Sie:

SOUTH SIDIE ARA - ZINE #2
NMAY DAY
I soldarity with worker and immigrant communi-
ties who rise up every year on this date and take
action against the bosses and politicians that op-
press us all, we are proud to release the second
issue of the South Side ARA zine on May Day.
“This issue contains action reportbacks from the
past year, information on active fascisls in the
area, news & analysis, and more. Please read,
copy, and redistribute as you see fit.
May 1st - International Workers Day is celebrat-
‘ed worldwide. On this date in Chicago, during the
1836 General Stike, workers and immigrants
fought and died fighting for better working condi-
tions and an eight hour work day. To this day,
the State, the rich ruling class, and streetlevel
fascists are il attacking marginalized commu-
nities and the working class. Several states are
passing legislation to privalize public services
and attack union collective bargaining rights,
whill other bills are being passed which encode
racial profiing and attack immigrant communities. At the same time, Nazis, the Kian and
other street-level white supremacists are spreading racial terror through vigiante border
patrols, rallies and marches, and even atiempted assassinations and bombings.
As the crisis of capitalism intensifes, it is becoming more and more necessary to orga-
nize and take direct action against the forces that seek to dominate our lives and the
planet. We hope the release of his issue will spark debate and inspire action to destroy.

= ANTI-RACIST ACTION -
- w POINTS OF UNITY w
- We go where they go: Whenever fascists are organizing or ac-
tive in public, we're there. We don't believe i ignoring them or
staying away from them. Never let the nazis have the street!
+ We don't rely on the cops or courts to do our work for us:
This doesn't mean we never go to court, but the cops uphold
white supremacy and the stalus quo, They attack us and ev-
eryone that resists oppression. We must rely on ourselves to
protect ourselves and stop the fascists.
+ Non-Sectarian defense of other Anti-Fascists: In ARA, we
have lots of different groups and individuals. We don't agree
about everything and we have a right o differ openly. But in tis
movement an attack on one is an attack on us all. We stand
behind each other.
+ We support abortion rights and reproductive freedom: ARA
intends to do the hard work necessary to build a broad, strong
movement against racism, sexism, anti-Semitsm, Islamopho-
bia, homophobia, transphobia, and discrimination against the
disabled, the oldes, the youngest and the most oppressed peo-
ple. We want a free classless society. WE INTEND TO WIN!
