Culling The Working Class: Acceleration and the Period of Capitalist Democide | Jeff Shantz (December,2025)

By on • ( Laisser un commentaire )

Capital has lost its patience with keeping unneeded working-class people alive. Notably in the very center of advanced capital and so-called liberal democracies (“the West”). Any and all social policies that even minimally address the needs of the unneeded working class—social housing, welfare, shelters, disability benefits, harm reduction, etc.)—are drains on accumulation. They are, from capital’s perspective, wasted resources, unacceptable costs—at a time when capital needs to squeeze out all it can get.

Murder Infrastructures: Capitalist Eliminationism, Acceleration, and Democide | Jeff Shantz (Canada, 2025)

Capitalism has moved into a stage of open mass culling of the working class—starting with those currently deemed unusable (as workers or consumers). This is a rapidly escalating period of democide—state killing of its own populations—for capital. For purposes—requirements—of accumulation. It will increasingly expand that category as fewer and fewer workers and consumers are needed to maintain profitability.

War or Revolution – The anarchist strategies against war and war preparation | PP (Belgium, 2025)

Bart de Ligt’s ‘Battle Plans’ weren’t made up behind a desk by a ‘pacifist’ liberal intellectual. The ‘Battle Plan’ presented before the WRI was just one version of a long search for consistent strategies against war and its causes. And Bart de Ligt was not alone in developing these ideas: Clara Wichmann, Proudhon, Pierre Ramus, Tolstoy, Domela Nieuwenhuis, Albert de Jong, Arthur Lehning and so many others contributed to it.

May Day, The Haymarket Martyrs, and Indigenous Resistance | Jeff Shantz (Canada, 2025)

The connections between the Chicago anarchists and the Metis rebellion may seem like historical footnotes. Indeed, they have been largely overlooked. However, they should be viewed as integral parts of anarchist praxis at the time and reveal more deep understandings of the importance of Indigenous land defense within active working-class anarchist circles than is sometimes assumed.

Le 1er mai 2018 à Jakarta, un gros black-bloc va affronter la police. Un poste de police est incendié. 69 personnes sont arrêtées et une forte répression anti-anarchiste va suivre, orchestrée par le gouvernement central avec l’appui des religieux musulmans et du principal syndicat indonésien. Rebelotte le 1er mai 2019, dans un contexte électoral, dans plusieurs grandes villes du pays. Cette fois, le pouvoir sort la carte du complot fomenté par des agitateurs étrangers que seraient les anarchistes et l’Association Internationale des Travailleurs (et travailleuses). Des arrestations ont lieu aboutissant à de lourdes peines de prison et des tortures.

Sustainable violence is social war: against green militarism | Xander Dunlap (War Resisters’ International, 2024)

The military attempts to ‘green’ itself! This is done by powering military facilities, weapons and, together, operations on lower-carbon infrastructures, such as solar panels, wind turbines, hydroelectric power and biofuels. This has been recognized as an attempt at powering “sustainable violence,” to operate domestic and overseas military operations on supposedly lower-carbon energy sources than fossil fuels. Lower-carbon power sources, however, as documented in Oaxaca, Mexico, also end with grabbing Zapotec and Ioot lands to build wind turbines and solar farms to power US military operations overseas, such as in the Middle East.

No hay causas comunes – El marxismo-leninismo y la revolución social libertaria | F.C. (Canada, 2024)

Mientras que los anarquistas participaban activamente en la defensa y la organización interna de la Comuna de Paris, Marx escribía que añoraba el aplastamiento de la comuna y la entrada triunfal del ejército germano, por qué esto significaba el triunfo de sus ideas sobre las de Proudhon.
Históricamente Marx y sus discípulos dan empleo de la fragilidad y moldeabilidad a conveniencia de su decálogo ideológico posicionándose contra sus “principios” cada vez que lo veían conveniente. Hay que recordar cuando Lenin lanza su “el Estado y la revolución” que para atraer simpatizantes hace una falsa convergencia con los anarquistas. Se sabe de sobra en que termino esto…
