Anarchists rarely adhere to a statist conception. From the inception of political Zionism, this national question arises among libertarians and provokes fierce debates. These controversies flare up with the course of events. At the birth of the State of Israel, anarchists took an official stance. They rejected the war in the Middle East and, apparently, the creation of a new state. However, the experience of the kibbutzim, which echoes the images of the agricultural collectives of revolutionary Spain, arouses strong sympathy.

Working class infrastructures of resistance can take many forms—workers centers, free schools, cooperative food production, communal childcare, defense committees, collective housing, and more. They provide resources, venues, and logistics for supporting and sustaining struggles on a longer term basis. They also provide space for developing revolutionary consciousness, strategies, and tactics. Grounded in working class communities, relationships, and experiences. We need to focus on building the resources and infrastructures that get us through the current capitalist hellscape while also increasing our capacities to fight toward revolution.
