abolitionmedia<p><strong>The Boomerang – ELN</strong></p> The fight against drug trafficking in the ELN is long-standing. Just as the trick of the State and the Military Forces is also old, allowing and encouraging paramilitaries to finance themselves with drug trafficking to combat the armed insurgency, a practice that has been going on since the 90s of the last century. <p>There will never be room in the ELN for “traquetos” or “narcos” or for the vicious, with great honor. The dream of the DEA and the intelligence of the Colombian State has been to try to introduce us to a Trojan Horse that is linked to the drug trafficking business to show the “evidence”, the “queen evidence”. But we have always discovered them and their plans have failed.</p><p>They won’t be able to find any evidence, because there isn’t any, it’s that simple. We have told the truth, because we do not have crops, laboratories, routes, tracks, nor do we market their products. As we have proposed, at the moment there is an opportunity, we can carry out a national debate to address this issue of drug trafficking in depth and in that context constitute an International Commission to verify or verify whether what the ELN said is true and consistent with its practice.</p><p>They have never captured an ELN militant with a gram of cocaine, nor have they found any laboratory where it is processed. There is no record in the courts that has proven it. What the media have said are military and police set-ups, which have never been able to be sustained, they lack any seriousness.</p><p>As the plans of the DEA and Colombian intelligence have not worked for them, now, Petro pretends that through lies the reality is another, sad task in which they have placed him. They are pure lies that will keep going around in “opinion” for a while, but then everyone will know that Petro lied, it’s that simple. It is something that we should not think about so much. It is true or not, but in reality, not because Petro says so. Then we can say who the liar was: Petro or the ELN.</p><p>The same happened with the lies that were told about Camilo Torres, they talked ad nauseam that he was a bandit, a criminal, but now they can no longer sustain the same.</p><p>As Petro continues to listen to his friends from the Gang of 33, he now repeats that the ELN hires mercenaries of other nationalities. Not at all, in the ELN no one is paid, nor is it recruited. The combatants who join its ranks do so voluntarily, all of them go through combatant schools where they receive political, ideological and military training. That has been and will continue to be the strength of the ELN. Reality is not what Petro has in his head.</p><p>The ELN is a modest organization, we manage our resources judiciously, we go through needs on a daily basis. We have to make a lot of efforts to get the resources that are required to advance the struggle. I wish we had what we really need, so that our combatants would have the weapons both in quantity and quality. That way we would have many more fighters and better armed.</p><p>Narcoss and mercenaries are the Gang of 33, the laboratories they had in Catatumbo were in charge of processing, at that time, 12 thousand kilos of cocaine for the Mexican drug traffickers, said by the same captured “cook”.</p><p>It is surprising that Petro receives “intelligence” information from Rubén Zamora and Felipe Tascón, characters closely linked to the Gang of 33 and takes them as a reference for his actions. As well as that the Military Forces protect the gang in Catatumbo and as soon as they are attacked by our units they run to defend them and we end up confronted with the military.</p><p>Has anyone known or heard of any combat by the Military Forces or the Police against the Gang of 33 in Catatumbo? No, it does not exist. That means that there is a clear alliance with them or they are part of the State. And since the Gang of 33 are “traquetos”; then, the boomerang that Petro threw at us returned to his hands, or rather… he is hand in hand with them.</p> <p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=18269" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">18269</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/colombia/" target="_blank">#colombia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/eln/" target="_blank">#eln</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/guerrilla/" target="_blank">#guerrilla</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/south-america/" target="_blank">#southAmerica</a></p>
abolitionmedia<p><strong>HPG Pays Tribute to Guerrilla Dilmaf Efrîn</strong></p><p></p><p>Guerrilla Dilmaf Efrîn fell as a martyr in February in South Kurdistan’s Gare region following a tragic accident and an ensuing explosion. The People’s Defense Forces (HPG) issued a statement to pay tribute to the martyr and said that “with his passing, the Kurdish guerrilla movement has lost a determined and highly respected fighter who dedicated his life to the struggle for Kurdistan’s freedom.” The HPG shared the following details about the guerrilla:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Codename: Dilmaf Efrîn</p><p>Full name: Xelîl Cuma</p><p>Place of birth: Efrîn</p><p>Parents’ names: Nura – Reşîd</p><p>Date and place of death: 6 February 2025, Gare</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dilmaf was born in Afrin (Efrîn), Rojava, &nbsp;a region known for its deep ties to the Kurdish freedom movement. From a young age, he was exposed to the political reality of Kurdistan. Stories of guerrilla fighters, the resistance against assimilation, and state repression left a lasting mark on him. The sense of alienation he experienced in state-run schools, where he couldn’t freely speak his mother tongue, further fueled his desire for a different life.</p><p>He worked from a young age to support his family, developed a strong awareness of social inequality, and soon joined the Kurdish youth movement. Guided by a deep sense of justice, his path eventually led him to the guerrilla ranks, a conscious decision to opt for a life of simplicity, collectivity, and resistance.</p><p>In 2014, he officially joined the Kurdish movement. After a brief basic military training, guerrilla Dilmaf participated in numerous operations, as well as in the fight against the Islamic State (ISIS). His discipline, sense of responsibility, and political clarity quickly earned him the trust of his comrades.</p><p>His political thinking was especially influenced by the ideas of Abdullah Öcalan and the concept of Democratic Confederalism. Dilmaf was not only a fighter but also a learner: he immersed himself in political and ideological education, participated in specialized trainings, and became a seasoned guerrilla. Comrades described him as sincere, helpful, energetic, and deeply loyal to his ideals.</p><p>His final deployment was in a particularly strategic region, where he continued his work with great determination until his death.</p><p>The HPG wrote: “Dilmaf was more than a fighter. He was a role model. With his determination, sincere character, and deep dedication to the cause, he has secured a place in the collective memory of our movement. His death is a great loss, but his life remains a legacy.

abolitionmedia<p><strong>Official NDFP Statement: We Are Not Preparing For War, We Are Waging War</strong></p><p></p><p>The national democratic revolutionary movement is not only preparing for war, we are waging a revolutionary war in the interest of the Filipino people. We have been waging this for democracy and national liberation since 1969, and the reactionary government has been using all its military might against the people’s war these past decades.</p><p>When Lt. General Brawner called for the AFP to prepare for war in case of an invasion of Taiwan, he is only declaring his puppetry to the US, to fight a war not for the Filipino people but for his imperialist masters.</p><p>The US imperialist regime, through neo-colonial agreements, continues to establish military bases and installations all over our country, to stockpile attack weapons including missiles, and provoke nearby China to war, while wallowing in plundered wealth in the safety of its own far-away mainland. With the coming “biggest ever” Balikatan which the puppet Marcos regime so proudly and willingly hosts, the Philippines is being prepped to absorb a war the US regime is so eager to wage.</p><p>It is extreme folly to believe in the US’s “iron-clad commitment” to the Philippines, because even iron is eroded by the rust of imperialist greed.</p><p>History shows us that US imperialist governments have an ignominious record of abandoning peoples in times of greatest crisis, of course always prioritizing their own imperialist interests. It abandoned the Philippines – including American foot-soldiers in the field in Corregidor—during World War II to shift to more “strategic” Europe where there were more imperialist industrial investments. We remember the Fall of Bataan this April.</p><p>It was the Filipino people who persisted in the war of resistance, who suffered the brunt of Japanese imperial brutality and militarism during the height of the world war. Just when the backbone of Japanese imperial might in Asia had been substantially broken by Asians themselves, the US returned to the Philippines to “liberate” it and reclaim its colonial rule. It also went to get a slice of the pie in Korea and in Vietnam, countries who fought against the Japanese and French during the world war.</p><p>The US mainland was never attacked though the US imperialists reaped tons of profits from their sales of war materiel to the Allies and new colonies from the defeated Axis powers.</p><p>Only more recently, the US abandoned its own puppet Zelensky in an attempt to gain favor with Russia against China and pushed its NATO allies to fend for themselves. Are the military minions of the US-Marcos Regime willing to suffer the same fate? Or will they, like the Quezons of old, fall over each other in fleeing the country?</p><p>The US-Marcos regime is hell-bent on offering the Philippines as a battlefield for US imperialist wars. But it is only by uniting the Filipino people in a revolutionary war against this puppet government that we can ensure our independence and establish a people’s government that will promote an active, independent and peaceful foreign policy.</p><p>source: <a href="https://ndfp.info/we-are-not-preparing-for-war-we-are-waging-war/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NDFP</a></p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=18248" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">18248</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/asia/" target="_blank">#asia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/guerrilla/" target="_blank">#guerrilla</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/ndfp/" target="_blank">#ndfp</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/philippines/" target="_blank">#philippines</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#resistance</a></p>

abolitionmedia<p><strong>HPG Pays Tribute to Guerrillas Doğa Şîn and Eylül Deniz Zagros</strong></p><p></p><p>The People’s Defense Forces&nbsp;(HPG) paid&nbsp;tribute to&nbsp;Free Women’s Units (YJA Star) guerrillas Doğa Şîn and Eylül Deniz Zagros, who fell as martyrs in Turkish attacks on Gare.</p><p>According to the HPG, both fighters were involved in resistance in various regions of Kurdistan for years and sustained fatal injuries during two separate attacks in January and February. The HPG described them as “courageous and dedicated militants” who had devoted their lives to the struggle for Kurdish freedom.</p><p>The People’s Defense Forces expressed their condolences to the families of the two fallen fighters and emphasized in their obituary the emotional connection the women had with the ideals of the movement. They were honored as role models for the new generation of young activists. The loss, they said, is a heavy blow, but their legacy will live on, in political work, the fight for recognition and rights, and in the cultural memory of the Kurdish movement.</p><p>“Doğa and Eylül were not just militants; they were symbolic figures of a movement that stands against oppression and for a life of freedom,” the statement read. Their courage and determination made them role models beyond death. “We will continue their path with determination,” concluded the message.</p><p>Nom de Guerre: Doğa Şîn<br>Full name: Binevş Altay<br>Place of birth: Pirsûs<br>Mother and father’s names: Üveyş – Selami<br>Date and place of death: January 11, 2025 / Gare</p><p>Nom de Guerre: Eylül Deniz Zagros<br>Full name: Evin Işbilir<br>Place of birth: Gever<br>Mother and father’s names: Güzel – Halit<br>Date and place of death: February 1, 2025 / Gare</p><p><strong>Doğa Şîn</strong></p><p>Originally from the northern Kurdish town of Suruç (Pirsûs), Doğa Şîn grew up in a politicized environment and joined the guerrillas in 2014, amid the war against the Islamic State (ISIS). Her decision was made under the impression of the attack on the western Kurdish city of Kobanê, located directly across the border from Suruç. “She promised herself at that time to support the people who had lost their homes and to stand against what she saw as the cause of their suffering,” said the HPG.</p><p>Prior to that, Doğa Şîn had spent years searching for a way out of what she perceived as an alienating society. Her encounter with the ideology of Abdullah Öcalan, and especially his views on women and alternatives to the capitalist system, led her to the Kurdish freedom movement. After joining the guerrillas, she fought directly in areas where resistance against ISIS was taking place. Following an injury at the front and a lengthy recovery, she returned to active combat, this time in the mountains.</p><p>Despite coming from a flatland region, she quickly felt at home in the mountains. There, she was active in various organizational and military roles. With strong determination and tactical skill, she specialized in modern guerrilla warfare. Her comrades described her as a disciplined, creative, and reliable fighter who never shied away from challenges.</p><p>In one of her writings, Doğa Şîn described the mountains as motherly and protective, a metaphor for her journey of self-discovery. In her military operations, she reportedly stood out for her precision and dedication.</p><p><strong>Eylül Deniz Zagros</strong></p><p>Eylül Deniz Zagros was born in Yüksekova (Gever), in the northern Kurdish province of Hakkari (Colemêrg), a region known for its deeply rooted spirit of resistance. Her family had already been active in the Kurdish liberation struggle in previous years, which had a profound influence on her. As a teenager, she was involved in political activism, and from around 2009, she participated in organizing community self-defense. In 2012, she left university and joined the guerrillas in the Zagros Mountains.</p><p>She viewed her political and ideological training as the foundation for her later military education. According to her own accounts, her motivation was closely tied to the violent deaths of her brother and a paternal cousin in 2013 in Yüksekova. Both men were shot dead by snipers from a Turkish police special unit during a protest against the desecration of a guerrilla cemetery.</p><p>Her path in the guerrilla eventually led her into the fight against ISIS, including in the Yazidi region of Shengal, where a genocide occurred in 2014 and Yazidi women were systematically kidnapped and abused. She considered the suffering of Yazidi women as symbolic of patriarchal violence, which motivated her to resist with determination.</p><p>After several injuries, Eylül Deniz Zagros returned to the Medya Defense Areas, continued her training, and contributed to the development of new guerrilla tactics. According to the obituary, she placed great emphasis on collective responsibility, humility, and gender equality within the movement. She became a role model for many young women through her determination.</p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=18180" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">18180</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/guerrilla/" target="_blank">#guerrilla</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/hpg/" target="_blank">#hpg</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/iraq/" target="_blank">#iraq</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/kurdistan/" target="_blank">#kurdistan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/pkk/" target="_blank">#pkk</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/turkey/" target="_blank">#turkey</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-asia/" target="_blank">#westAsia</a></p>
abolitionmedia<p><strong>Celebrate the New People’s Army on its 56th Anniversary!</strong></p><p></p><p>The National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) greets the New People’s Army (NPA) on its 56th Anniversary on March 29, 2025. For almost six decades, the NPA has fought eight bureaucrat-capitalist, pro-imperialist and landlord-controlled regimes, exemplifying the Filipino people’s spirit of courage and determination for democracy and independence.</p><p>In the tradition of the Katipunan, the NPA started as a small, poorly-armed force in 1969. But with the support of the oppressed and exploited Filipino people, it grew into a force so formidable that the semi-colonial and semi-feudal ruling state considered it the number one threat to its power.</p><p>The NPA became the masses’ defense against feudal landgrabbing, environmental depredation, and violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. As a peasant army under the leadership of the Communist Party of the Philippines, it embodied the basic alliance of the proletariat and the peasantry. Its clear national democratic line, conscious discipline and daringness to confront a much larger enemy force attracted thousands of peasants, workers, student leaders and other urban youth, women’s rights advocates, environmental activists, and other patriotic individuals to become Red fighters in the revolution for genuine and comprehensive social change.</p><p>Without foreign support, the NPA drew its strength from its close links with the masses. Since the dark years of Marcos’ Martial Law, the NPA carried out&nbsp; successful military offensives, demoralizing the state’s reactionary troops and inspiring the masses.</p><p>But astute as it was in executing well-planned tactical offensives and other military campaigns, the NPA as a people’s army was not only an effective armed organization of the CPP and the NDF. It was the main revolutionary organizer in the countryside, an active participant in educating the masses, setting up peasant, women and youth organizations, launching health and production campaigns, implementing revolutionary land reform, training people’s militias to defend their villages, and supporting emergent structures of the people’s democratic revolutionary governments in rural strongholds.</p><p>In the widespread and intensified fascist mlitary campaigns against the people this last decade, the NPA heroically sacrificed many of its best commanders and Red fighters, while learning new methods of work&nbsp; to overcome the high-tech advantage of the fascist enemy, and teaching the masses how to resist the more insidious schemes of the ruling class. Together with other allied organizations of the NDFP, the NPA resolutely carries out the CPP’s third rectification movement, restrengthening itself, rebuilding the mass base and reinvigorating the mass organizations.</p><p>Despite the Duterte regime’s all-out war against the people and the continuing, more intensified attacks under the US-Marcos regime, the perverse campaign of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) to destroy the revolutionary mass base and people’s organizations, and the military’s repetitive script of decimating the people’s army by the end of every year, the NPA still stands strong today as the biggest revolutionary armed force in the country. Together with the masses of peasants, workers and other patriotic sectors of society, it continues to wage protracted war in the main islands of our archipelago.</p><p>The present political intramurals within the ruling class are mere distractions in the context of the decades-long people’s war. The NPA is resolutely pursuing the struggle for freedom and democracy for the country’s poor and oppressed. The revolutionary armed struggle presents itself as our country’s primary solution to the unprecedented economic and political crisis in Philippine society today. The crisis created by the unbridled corruption and plunder of bureaucrat-capitalists, the greed of new-type landlords, the frenzied, war-mongering efforts of US imperialism to maintain total world domination, breed widespread discontent among the people.&nbsp; As more young peasants, workers and students realize the need to strike deep roots with the masses and take up arms, the New People’s Army will grow stronger from anniversary to anniversary.</p><p>Long live the New People’s Army!</p><p>Long live the national democratic revolution!</p><p>By Elias Dipasupil<br>Secretary-General, National Democratic Front of the Philippines</p><p>source: <a href="https://ndfp.info/celebrate-the-new-peoples-army-on-its-56th-anniversary/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NDFP</a></p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=18056" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">18056</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/asia/" target="_blank">#asia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/guerrilla/" target="_blank">#guerrilla</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/ndfp/" target="_blank">#ndfp</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/new-peoples-army/" target="_blank">#newPeopleSArmy</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/philippines/" target="_blank">#philippines</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#resistance</a></p>
abolitionmedia<p><strong>The Emergence of the PKK in the 1970s – Part I</strong></p><p></p><p>The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) emerged in the 1970s, in a period when freedoms were being suppressed across Turkey and Kurdistan, and Kurds were subjected to policies of annihilation and denial. Sowing its seeds during the 1973 Newroz and evolving into a political party in 1978 through a process of ideological consolidation, PKK claimed the legacy of revolutionary figures such as Deniz Gezmiş and Mahir Çayan. It launched a struggle of resurgence against social-chauvinism influenced by Kemalism, the Turkish occupation and colonialism in Kurdistan, and the local collaborating forces that supported them.</p><p>PKK emerged in Kurdistan as a radical and critical movement for freedom. In his book Defending the Kurds under the Grip of Cultural Genocide, Abdullah Ocalan—known within the movement as Leader Apo—describes the conditions in which the PKK was born. Recalling the moment he first used the phrase ‘colonized Kurdistan,’ he shares how deeply it affected him, both emotionally and physically: ‘‘The tremor that the concept of colonized Kurdistan caused in my mind and heart, followed by my fainting, was the first and only such episode in my life. At the time, I found it truly strange. But later developments would show why a single concept could carry such overwhelming weight. Even now, I find it difficult to explain the impact it had on me in those early days. To stand alone in Ankara and decide to initiate a conceptual awakening at a time when the death warrant for Kurdistan and Kurdishness had been declared—and was being executed in its most extreme form—would require an analysis profound enough to be the subject of a novel.’’</p><p><strong>Mahir, Deniz and Ibrahim</strong></p><p>Abdullah Ocalan recalls being part of both the Kurdish and Turkish revolutionary youth movements, and says he was deeply influenced by them. Reflecting on this formative period, Ocalan writes: ‘‘I had heard the names of the People’s Liberation Party-Front of Turkey (THKP-C), the People’s Liberation Army of Turkey (THKO), and the Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist–Leninist (TKP/ML-TIKKO), and I had witnessed the brave martyrdoms of their leaders. I saw with my own eyes how Mahir Çayan, the leader of THKP-C; Deniz Gezmiş, the leader of THKO; and Ibrahim Kaypakkaya, the leader of TIKKO, gave voice to the reality of the Kurdish people and the Kurdish nation—at the cost of their lives. Alongside many other factors that came later, the martyrdom of these leaders, who emerged from within the youth and sacrificed themselves for the sake of truth, was a decisive force that gave me the courage to walk toward my own authentic reality.’’</p><p><strong>How will you make a piece of wood grow?</strong></p><p>Ocalan (Leader Apo) drew attention to the disbelief and resistance he faced in the early days of political organizing by sharing a striking moment with a villager—an exchange that captured the atmosphere of those difficult years. Describing that period, he writes: ‘‘To live and move forward with a political concept based on just two words in the Turkey of the 1970s and 1980s was of immense significance. Each day passed like a leaden weight, heavier than years. The goal we were striving toward was more vague than a dream. Yet I was certain that even becoming a group was already a major achievement. It wasn’t hard to guess that our group activity—carried out right under the nose of the most capable intelligence officers—was not being taken seriously, even mocked and dismissed. It was just like what that villager said when I shared my first social experience—the realization that ‘we might be Kurds’: You’re trying to speak to a dry plank of wood. How are you going to make that piece of wood grow? It was clear they saw us with the same disbelief.’’</p><p>Ocalan explains that it took five years after forming as a group for them to find the courage to name themselves: ”Our earliest labels were given to us: ‘UKO supporters,’ ‘Apo supporters.’ It felt like an honor to be named, but those names were not of our own choosing. During the group period, the only name we could give ourselves was ‘Revolutionaries of Kurdistan.’ It took us five full years after forming as a group to finally gather the courage to name ourselves. What began near the banks of the Çubuk Dam in Ankara during the Newroz of 1973—a journey filled with passion and madness—culminated on November 27, 1978, in the village of Fis in Diyarbakır’s (Amed) Lice district, with the founding of PKK. It felt like we had redeemed our honor. What greater goal could there be? After all, the modern organization of the modern class structure had been established.”</p><p>Through these reflections, Ocalan reveals the historical and emotional depth of the founding of PKK, and how it became a revolutionary response to the denial and destruction imposed on the Kurdish people. In an era when even saying ‘I am a Kurd’ was forbidden, the emergence of the PKK marked a miraculous breakthrough. What began as a lifeline for a people targeted by cultural genocide eventually grew into a revolutionary movement that came to be embraced by other oppressed peoples as well—and continues its struggle for freedom to this day.</p><p><strong>If not for real socialism</strong></p><p>Ocalan notes that, from today’s vantage point, he can evaluate the intellectual and historical conditions that led to the founding of PKK with greater clarity. He continues his reflections as follows: ‘‘As we moved toward the founding of PKK, we were deeply committed to remaining faithful to the scientific socialist line of Marxism. Without real socialism, an organization like the PKK might never have come into being. However, that does not mean the PKK, in its early phase, was a fully formed real socialist organization. Although it was heavily influenced by real socialism, the PKK’s entire reality cannot be explained solely through that lens. To arrive at a more accurate interpretation, it is necessary to consider the concepts of relativity and difference. I still remember clearly—because of the subject-object dichotomy embedded in real socialism, I was constantly searching for a material basis for the PKK’s formation, trying to interpret everything through a materialist framework. This search became, for me, a kind of fundamental principle—something absolutely essential.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Toward a description of the PKK</strong></p><p>The effort to reinterpret PKK today, Ocalan suggests, is only possible thanks to a philosophical transformation—one that avoids absolutizing the subject-object dichotomy and resists turning itself into an absolute framework. Within this perspective, rethinking the PKK involves identifying the global conditions and material-cultural elements it was grounded in during the early 1970s, as well as the dominant forms of consciousness, organization, action, and moral culture that shaped it. According to Ocalan, this process is essential not only for accurately defining the PKK Movement, but also for shedding greater light on its role in the present.’’</p><p>He notes that the counter-revolution of the 1970s emerged in direct response to the anti-modernist cultural revolution that had peaked in the 1968 uprisings. He warns against reducing the global shift of the 1970s to mere economic transformation, writing: ‘‘The rise of financial capital cannot be explained by the innocent mask of economic reform. Its dominance was built upon two world wars, the wars of the twentieth century—history’s bloodiest century—and even more deeply, on five centuries of class domination and colonial warfare. It all culminates in the power of the nation-state, which represents total war against society from top to bottom.”</p><p>Ocalan goes on to describe Turkey of the 1970s as a country increasingly shaped by both the revolutionary and counter-revolutionary waves sweeping the globe. He writes: ”Turkey could not avoid becoming part of this world, despite its efforts to shield itself behind thick ideological walls. The Youth Revolution of 1968, followed by the economic and military counter-revolutions of 1980—namely, the 24 January economic decisions and the 12 September military coup—ultimately dragged Turkey into this historical tide. The global crisis of the capitalist system manifested itself in Turkey as a crisis of White Turkish fascism. In essence, the crisis of capitalist modernity was the crisis of the Turkish nation-state.’’</p><p><strong>The most extensive operation of Gladio: September 12</strong></p><p>Abdullah Ocalan emphasizes that the military coups of 12 March 1971 and 12 September 1980 were carried out to crush revolutionary movements that civil fascist forces had failed to suppress. He writes: ‘‘The system’s most fortified bastion could only be protected through military coups, which were constantly reinforced by counter-revolutionary civilian fascist movements. Since 1925, the ‘White Turkish’ conspiratorial system has been at war with all forms of cultural existence and democratic stirrings that posed a threat to fascist modernity—especially the Kurdish identity. As this system became increasingly exposed and discredited, it also became more unhinged. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) Gladio structure had the most powerful operational units. It had taken control of nearly all political formations. Whenever there was even a limited break from its grip, civil fascist forces would be mobilized; and when they proved insufficient, the entire military would be brought in. It played the role of a proto-Zionist system and was supported by global hegemonic powers because of that. There is no other example of a regime that exerted such total control over its own people.</p><p>This is why the crisis of ‘White Turkish’ modernity directly concerned the global system. The aim of the September 12 fascist coup was to overcome this crisis. Its core political strategies included opening the economy to global markets and integrating with the global financial system; and ideologically, shifting from secular nationalism toward a fusion of Turkish-Islamic nationalism—reinforcing the secular nation-state model with a Turkish-Islamic one. The September 12 coup was NATO Gladio’s most extensive operation. It was tasked with permanently suppressing the revolutionary and democratic actions of all peoples in the Middle East. To this day, it continues to pursue that mission, alongside the system’s civilian fascist networks and semi-military structures.’’</p><p><strong>Reviving truths once thought dead</strong></p><p>In the 1970s, real socialism entered a deep crisis and began shifting into a position that, rather than challenging the system, reinforced capitalist modernity. Unable to renew or reorganize itself, it faced ideological stagnation and eventual collapse. One of the states most shaken by this crisis was Turkey. The breakdown of White Turkish fascism began to surface ideologically, exposing it to the critique and resistance of emerging revolutionary forces. As Ocalan observed, the revolutionary movements of that period were deeply ideological. For the first time in Turkish history, suppressed social realities were being voiced through these movements. Truths once assumed to be dead were being revived. Islamist ideologies were losing ground to socialist-revolutionary currents, and the Kurdish reality was once again rising to the surface. Outside the PKK, most ideological and revolutionary movements of the era remained confined to the narrow actions of isolated groups. In this climate, it was only the PKK that succeeded in standing up against Turkish colonialism and launching a genuine revolutionary breakthrough.</p><p>Ocalan has stated that the foundational idea behind the PKK’s emergence was based on the model of state-building proposed by Joseph Stalin and later endorsed by Vladimir Lenin, particularly in the context of resolving the Kurdish question. However, one of the major ideological ambiguities the PKK faced during its formation stemmed from the nation-state model itself. Stalin’s principle—endorsed by Lenin—of granting nations the right to self-determination through the creation of a state had caused deep ideological confusion across global socialist and leftist movements. The PKK, too, was drawn into this confusion. It was only later that Ocalan would break from this paradigm. With his book Defending a People, he introduced a new framework—’Democratic, Ecological, and Women’s Liberationist Society’—marking the beginning of a new and more powerful phase of struggle.</p><p>source: <a href="https://anfenglishmobile.com/features/the-emergence-of-the-pkk-in-the-1970s-i-78663" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ANF English</a></p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=18031" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">18031</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/guerrilla/" target="_blank">#guerrilla</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/kurdistan/" target="_blank">#kurdistan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/pkk/" target="_blank">#pkk</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/turkey/" target="_blank">#turkey</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-asia/" target="_blank">#westAsia</a></p>

abolitionmedia<p><strong>The Name of Kurdish Women Will Always be Remembered in the Epics of Resistance</strong></p><p></p><p>From the land of Derwêş and Edûlê, a young woman with a pure heart joined the struggle for freedom. Cîhan Hîvron (Lînda Xeyrî Hecî) became a fighter for her country, a resister for women’s freedom, a seeker of truth for a right and meaningful life.</p><p>Cîhan Hîvron, who was born in Shengal (Sinjar) into a patriotic Kurdish family committed to Yazidi values, got to know the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) more closely with the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrillas who ran to the help of the Yazidi community during the ISIS onslaught in 2014. Having witnessed the massacre and abduction of thousands of people and the migration of hundreds of thousands during the ISIS attack, Hîvron joined the resistance units in 2016 to avenge Yazidi women. She contributed to the cleansing of Shengal from the mercenaries, and after the withdrawal of the guerrillas from Shengal in 2018, she took to the mountains of Kurdistan.</p><p>Cîhan Hîvron received the first basic education at the Martyr Rojîn Gewda Academy, and better understood and deepened on the thoughts of Leader Apo [Abdullah Öcalan]. She set an example for her comrades with her deep devotion to the land of Kurdistan. With the strength of her love for her country, she took part in the forefront of every work and quickly adapted to the guerrilla life. Throughout her education, she learned with great curiosity and participated in discussions clearly and radically. She constantly read and improved herself in order to understand Leader Apo’s style, manner and pace. She attached as much importance to improving herself in the military field as she did to organisation and ideological development. For this reason, she participated in every military training and lesson on weapons and tactics with great enthusiasm. As a Yazidi woman, she wanted to be a strong example for all young girls in her community.</p><p>The guerrilla fighter Cîhan, who deeply felt the pain caused by the massacres committed against her people, the enslavement and sale of women, and leaving children without language, identity and culture, took Leader Apo’s ideas as a guide and moved towards her goal. After completing her academy education, she participated in practical work. With the training she received and the faith her comrades had in her, she participated in the struggle more actively. Guerrilla Cîhan was devoted to comradeship, her country and her people with an endless love. For the sake of this devotion, she did not spare any labour and sacrifice. She never closed her ears to the cries of the children of her country. She did not remain indifferent to the lamentations of the mothers of martyrs.</p><p>On the peaks of the mountains of Shengal, even in the most difficult moments of the war, she could see the light of hope on the faces of her people and continued her struggle every day with vows to realise this hope. She was a source of inspiration for all her comrades; with her positive energy she would add the colour of hope to their hearts, and with determination in her eyes she would tell them ‘Victory is ours, comrade’. Cîhan’s face was recorded in the hearts of her comrades and in the memory of her people with the most beautiful colours. As a guerrilla fighter who set an example to her comrades with her struggle, courage, resistance and sacrifice, she played a pioneering role in the freedom struggle of her people and did not succumb to any difficulties.</p><p>On 25 May 2019, during an enemy attack on the Medya Defence Zones, she was martyred together with a group of her comrades, becoming an example for young Kurdish women and especially for Yazidi women. She did not accept an aimless life; she had great goals and she continued her life in line with these goals. She took brave steps, struggled and never backed down. That is why guerrilla Cîhan will never be forgotten; her name will be remembered with great honour in the resistance epics of Kurdish women, among the heroes of the freedom struggle.</p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=17935" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">17935</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/guerrilla/" target="_blank">#guerrilla</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/hpg/" target="_blank">#hpg</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/iraq/" target="_blank">#iraq</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/kurdistan/" target="_blank">#kurdistan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/pkk/" target="_blank">#pkk</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/turkey/" target="_blank">#turkey</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-asia/" target="_blank">#westAsia</a></p>
abolitionmedia<p><strong>HBDH Executive Committee: Comrade Baran Serhat Lives in Our United Revolutionary Struggle!</strong></p><p></p><p>We sent off comrade Baran Serhat, one of the pioneers of our United Revolution, to immortality in a treacherous attack 6 years ago. Despite those who murdered him, comrade Baran Serhat continues to lead our United Revolution struggle. His successors are now proudly waving the glorious flag that he never let go of until his last breath, in the mountains, cities, prisons, squares, factories and schools of Turkey and Kurdistan, in the toughest trenches of the struggle. The dreams of those who think that they can end the struggle for revolution by massacring the revolutionaries are once again shattered. It is again the red road of the revolution that advances to victory despite all the difficult conditions and the all-out attacks of the fascist power. The sacrifice and effort of comrade Baran Serhat on this red road continues to guide us today, as it did yesterday. Comrade Baran Serhat devoted his life to the revolutionary struggle to carry our world, where exploitation and oppression prevail, to salvation and freedom. He became a creative leader by adapting the huge struggle experience he received from his predecessors to the conditions he was in. Wherever there was oppression and pain, he took his place at the forefront of the struggle of the peoples. The cities and prisons of Türkiye-Northern Kurdistan witnessed his many brave actions. He made the enemy kneel down with his upright stance, turning every place he was in into a fortress where the revolution was defended.</p><p>Comrade Baran Serhat was a master revolutionary who lived as he thought and brought theory to life with practice. He became both a brave warrior and a creative commander and leader of the struggle, positioned himself in accordance with whatever the need of the struggle was, and embraced his duties accordingly. He made intense efforts to develop the common struggle of the people by not recognizing the artificial borders created. He played important roles in protecting and advancing the Rojava Revolution and in expanding the internationalist struggle. He pioneered the establishment and development of our United Revolution movement and undertook historical duties. And in March, which witnessed many heroisms, resistances and also massacres, he fell to the ground in the attack of the fascist Turkish state and its gangs.</p><p>We are going through times when the flow of history has entered a sharp turn. We are in a process in which the contradictions and struggles between the rulers who drag the world towards a great destruction and the world’s peoples on the other side have become much sharper. Learning from the lives of the martyrs of the revolution and commemorating them is the most meaningful way to commemorate them, in conditions where revolutionary militancy, revolutionary values ​​and strong comradeship are as necessary as bread and water. Because they walked towards the enemy, never taking a step back from their struggle under the most difficult conditions, always moving forward, never hesitating for a moment, they became indomitable warriors of truth by embracing the consciousness of sacrifice. They instilled hope in the world and humanity, defying pessimism and indecision.</p><p>Those we send off to eternity in the struggle for revolution and socialism are the sources of resistance of our revolutionary war. They are monuments of resistance that show us what to do in the face of the unjust wars, occupations, oppression and torture, exploitation and massacres that continue today. We will increase the fight with the awareness that commemorating them is to develop the revolutionary struggle.</p><p>While we respectfully commemorate comrade Baran Serhat and all the monuments of resistance, we promise that we will walk more determinedly on the path they walked, that we will expand the united struggle, and that we will carry the struggle for revolution and socialism to victory. Let us raise the struggle for the United Revolution against imperialism, capitalism, fascism and male domination.</p><p>Comrade Baran Serhat Lives in Our Struggle in the Year of Immortality!<br>Martyr Namirin!<br>HBDH Executive Committee – 23 March 2025</p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=17889" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">17889</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/guerrilla/" target="_blank">#guerrilla</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/hbdh/" target="_blank">#hbdh</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/kurdistan/" target="_blank">#kurdistan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/mlkp/" target="_blank">#mlkp</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/rojava/" target="_blank">#rojava</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/syria/" target="_blank">#syria</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/tkp-ml/" target="_blank">#tkpMl</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/turkey/" target="_blank">#turkey</a></p>

abolitionmedia<p><strong>Justice for Flor and all Exploited Filipino Migrant Workers Will be Achieved Through the People’s Revolution — NDFP</strong></p><p></p><p>Compatriots-NDFP marks the 30th year since the execution of Flor Contemplacion, one of our fellow migrant workers put to death in Singapore after an unjust trial abroad. We remain indignant at the Philippine reactionary government for failing to save Flor’s life, denying her the support she needed until it was too late.</p><p>The hanging of Flor in 1995 sparked nationwide outrage. Filipino migrants and their families back home led mass protests calling for her justice. But to this day, the Philippine government continues to deny justice for many migrant workers since Flor’s death like Mary Jane Veloso who remains imprisoned in the Philippines. Only through the overthrow of this puppet reactionary state can we realize justice for all exploited and oppressed Filipino migrants.</p><p>By abandoning Flor Contemplacion to the gallows, the Philippine state exposed their labor export program as a false solution to the impoverished conditions our people are subjected to. Poor living conditions back home and the Philippine government’s peddling of employment overseas coerced Flor to work in Singapore as a domestic worker, only to never return alive. They sold Flor abroad and continue to sell millions of us into peril overseas. We endure labor violations, discrimination, and even slave-like conditions from foreign employers and their reactionary host governments. Like Flor, we enjoy no protections, especially not from the Philippine state. Human traffickers are left to prey on vulnerable OFWs with impunity, as with the case of Mary Jane Veloso.</p><p>Despite the many cases of exploitation, abuse, and abandonment overseas, Filipinos are still leaving the country in their thousands every day. The persistent crises of worker unemployment and peasant landlessness continue to force us to go abroad in the hopes of a stable livelihood that we cannot find at home. The big bourgeois comprador and landlord classes who rule the country have no interest in ending these chronic crises. Their power comes from monopolies on land and the continuous flow of commodity imports and raw material exports. They are obsessed with following the neoliberal dictates of the US to maintain this order. It is to the benefit of them and their US imperialist masters that our country’s economy remain backward, agrarian, and non-industrial.</p><p>To stave off a complete collapse of the local economy, the Philippine government has become the number one recruiter and trafficker of Filipino migrants, facilitated by the Department of Migrant Workers who ensures the systematic and mass sale of Filipinos. Through bilateral labor agreements and neoliberal deployment programs, they peddle us to foreign countries, catering to their demands for cheap labor. The state is dependent on our foreign exchange remittances to ease the country’s trade deficit between large commodity imports and a weak export capacity.</p><p>Justice for Flor Contemplacion and all Filipino migrants will not come from the comprador – landlord ruling state. It will certainly not come from the US-Marcos Jr. regime, which saw record highs of Filipinos leaving the country and is denying clemency to Mary Jane Veloso. Justice for victims of human trafficking, unjust detention and death row abroad, and migrant labor exploitation can only come from the collective and revolutionary action of Filipinos overseas and the people.</p><p>The Compatriots-NDFP, being the revolutionary mass organization of overseas Filipinos will undertake ever widening and deepening mass work in order to bring together masses of overseas compatriots towards embracing the people’s democratic revolution in the Philippines as their weapon to upend the semifeudal and semicolonial order and realize the justice that comes from national and social liberation. Our revolutionary movement will empower our fellow migrants in taking justice for their exploitation, oppression, and state neglect into their own hands.</p><p>The three decades of growing injustices against Filipino migrant workers compel us to unite with oppressed sectors back home in overthrowing the local ruling system. The continuing crises at home and overseas push us to strengthen our political and material support for the revolutionary war in the countryside. Let us cherish the New People’s Army in their mission to defend the people and overthrow the reactionary order.</p><p>Together, let us fight for a genuine national democratic and socialist society together with the revolutionary organizations of peasants, workers, women, youth and the Filipino overseas as well as the proletariat that leads them. Together, we will continue to build organs of political power that oversee land reform, justice, education, healthcare, and other social services that our families back home would not otherwise enjoy.</p><p>Long live the Compatriots-NDFP!</p><p>Long live the Revolutionary Organizations of Filipinos Overseas!</p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=17771" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">17771</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/asia/" target="_blank">#asia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/guerrilla/" target="_blank">#guerrilla</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/ndfp/" target="_blank">#ndfp</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/philippines/" target="_blank">#philippines</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/repression/" target="_blank">#repression</a></p>
abolitionmedia<p><strong>“Reject the National Army Law”, “No Rules, Just Chaos”, and “Burn World Bank” Action by Informal Anarchists</strong></p><p></p><p>We are responsible for the burning of Two Hana Bank ATM machines, the Hana Bank office building, a capitalist-owned advertising videotron, and a motor vehicle belonging to the Indonesian National Army. The arson occurred after a space occupation carried out by demonstrators in the aftermath of a demonstration against the passage of the Indonesian National Army Law (TNI law), the arson occurred in Bandung, West Java on Friday night 21/03/2025.</p><p>The action carried out by the demonstrators in front of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) was not ignored at all by anti-riot police, despite the throwing of molotov cocktails, propane, stones and firecrackers into the veranda of the building. Until in the end, we chose direct action by burning at several points above.</p><p></p><p>We are completely beyond the authority of the language of the state and capitalism, we are irrationality, we are a form of the illogicality of the authority of the language itself. We are one of the informal organizations of the end of the world who do not believe in the coming of enlightenment for tomorrow, because for us the future is a new form of suffering. We are a fire that devours entire city buildings at night. We do not believe in the revolution of the left and other social anarchists. We are writers and poets, insurrection is poetry, poetry is insurrection.</p><p>Death to The State!<br>Death to The National Army!<br>Death to an Entire Civilization!<br>Burn The World Bank!<br>Long Live The Conspiracy of Cells of Fire!<br>Long Live The Free Association of Autonomous Fire!<br>Long Live FAI/IRF<br>Long Live Anarchy!</p><p></p><p></p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=17763" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">17763</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/anarchism/" target="_blank">#anarchism</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/guerrilla/" target="_blank">#guerrilla</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/indonesia/" target="_blank">#indonesia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/informal/" target="_blank">#informal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#resistance</a></p>
