Life on college campuses has changed dramatically in the last 10 months.
While institutions of higher education continue to reel from the Trump administration’s top-down attacks and scramble to adjust,
workers on campus say that their universities are simultaneously expanding their own internal repression and surveillance apparatuses to squash dissent

I've just used Good Law Project's tool to tell Keir Starmer that his ID scheme is a recipe for repression. Will you do the same? https://goodlaw.social/c78cc5

I think that it's important to remember that in these days of . . . gestures vaguely at . . . everything . . . that there is historical precedent for having some hope that things will get better.
On November 9, 1989:
The fall of the Berlin Wall was a pivotal moment in history that symbolized the end of Cold War-era division and repression in Europe; it led directly to the reunification of Germany and inspired a wave of democratic movements across E…

It’s clear now that Hitler was just ahead of his time. If he were around today and had picked a different target, our Western governments would be calling him an ally and supporting his genocide with money, propaganda, violent repression of dissent within their own citizenry, and weapons. How do I know this? Because that’s exactly what they’re doing with the Hitler of our time: the wanted war criminal Netanyahu.

Traditional politics of assistance and the repression of unemployment were now called into question. The need for reform became urgent.
Poverty was gradually separated from the old moral confusions. Economic crises had shown that unemployment could not be confused with indolence, as indigence and enforced idleness spread throughout the countryside, to precisely the places that had previously been considered home to the purest and most immediate forms of moral life. This demonstrated that poverty did not solely fall under the order of the fault: ‘Begging is the fruit of poverty, which in turn is the consequence of accidents in the production of the earth or in the output of factories, of a rise in the price of basic foodstuffs, or of growth of the population, etc.’ Indigence became a matter of economics.
But it was not contingent, nor was it destined to be suppressed forever. There would always be a certain quantity of poverty that could never be effaced, a sort of fatal indigence that would accompany all forms of society until the end of time, even in places where all the idle were employed: ‘The only paupers in a well governed state must be those born in indigence, or those who fall into it by accident.’ This backdrop of poverty was somehow inalienable: whether by birth or accident, it formed an inevitable part of society. The state of lack was so firmly entrenched in the destiny of man and the structure of society that for a long time the idea of a state without paupers remained inconceivable: in the thought of philosophers, property, work and indigence were terms linked right up until the nineteenth century.
This portion of poverty was necessary because it could not be suppressed; but it was equally necessary in that it made wealth possible. Because they worked but consumed little, a class of people in need allowed a nation to become rich, to release the value of its fields, colonies and mines, making products that could be sold throughout the world. An impoverished people, in short, was a people that had no poor. Indigence became an indispensable element in the state. It hid the secret but most real life of society. The poor were the seat and the glory of nations. And their noble misery, for which there was no cure, was to be exalted:
«My intention is solely to invite the authorities to turn part of their vigilant attention to considering the portion of the People who suffer … the assistance that we owe them is linked to the honour and prosperity of the Empire, of which the Poor are the firmest bulwark, for no sovereign can maintain and extend his domain without favouring the population, and cultivating the Land, Commerce and the Arts; and the Poor are the necessary agents for the great powers that reveal the true force of a People.»
What we see here is a moral rehabilitation of the figure of the Pauper, bringing about the fundamental economic and social reintegration of his person. Paupers had no place in a mercantilist economy, as they were neither producers nor consumers, and they were idle, vagabond or unemployed, deserving nothing better than confinement, a measure that extracted and exiled them from society. But with the arrival of the industrial economy and its thirst for manpower, paupers were once again a part of the body of the nation.

It would seem that colonialism and imperialism are also features of late stage communism.

"Astrid Lindgren tog strid mot våld, mot aga, mot hårda tag, och mot politiska beslut som slog mot barn. Hon hade aldrig accepterat att Sverige valde repression före ansvar. Hon hade aldrig accepterat att vi lutar oss mot hennes sagor medan vi överger hennes värderingar.

Det är hyckleri att vi klär oss i Astrid Lindgrens humanism samtidigt som vi river upp dess fundament. Och tittar man på Sverige utifrån – från exempelvis Tyskland, där vårt land fortfarande romantiseras som barne…

As anarchists, when we were organizing against Trump, in the lead up to and early in his last term, we recognized the potential for repression. Radicals have always been targeted, but now he's going after moderate liberals. This is going to keep escalating, so it would be a good idea for liberals to *listen to anarchists* since we've been doing this for years.
Anarchists have been kidnapped and held without charges for months at a tim (check out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_grand_jury_resisters. Only for those folks, they were kidnapped and held without trial under Obama.) Radicals have been doing this for years. It's worth your time to listen so you know how to prepare.
We had a bail fund set up. Support your local bail fund and don't try to start your own (liberals in Seattle did that last time). We focused on basic survival for our members. When the regime cracks down it will be random (since they can't get everyone). How are you going to support folks? Bail funds are a nice first step, but the whole process can take a long time. People can (and often do) lose their jobs, even if they aren't convicted of anything. Are you going to make sure targeted people are able to pay rent and get food? Are you going to make sure families are taken care of when a parent is kidnapped?
Resistence is only a threat if it's sustainable, otherwise they can just overpower and wait. You have to be able to wait longer. Occupations are *extremely* expensive. If you can support each other through an occupation, you can win.
So what is your plan? How are you going to make sure that those who fight can keep fighting? The best time to think about that question was under Biden. The second best time is now.

Die komplette Verrohung in immer größeren Teilen der Linken raubt mir echt die letzte Hoffnung.
Solidarität ist die Voraussetzung für unser Handeln, gerade wenn das mit Repression einher geht.
Für diese Leute bin ich jedoch der Feind.
Ihr seid links, ich bin emanzipatorisch.

Russia’s Ministry of Justice designated Human Rights Watch
an “undesirable organization”
on Nov. 28,
effectively banning the group from operating in the country.
Human Rights Watch noted that Russia had already forced the closure of its Moscow office in 2022.
“Our work hasn’t changed, but what’s changed, dramatically, is the government’s full-throttled embrace of dictatorial policies,
its staggering rise in repression,
and the scope of the war crimes…

“The assault by the Trump administration on honest history is hitting everyone,”
A. S. Dillingham, a tribal member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and a historian at Arizona State University, says.
This assault on history is particularly glaring this week,
as repression and censorship push teachers and politicians alike to acquiesce to the celebration of a sanitized falsehood
instead of using the Thanksgiving holiday as an opportunity to reckon with the dispossession…
