 Hi all! Today is Monday, September 19 and we continue our podcast "Trends of

Order and Chaos". This is episode 72. Here are the highlights of the week's
agenda. ---- 1. Retirade ---- The score of the war this week has already exceeded
200 days. Putin did not succeed in an easy war with "little bloodshed on foreign
territory". But how much fun the TV propagandist Simonyan once had: "In a hot
war, we will defeat Ukraine in two days. Why defeat her, God, well, Ukraine,
well, they suppressed these firing points, so we discussed this during the
commercial break. So, the Russian blitzkrieg did not work out, but the Ukrainian
one came out - a swift breakthrough into the territory occupied by Russia and
squeezing it from the enemy right up to the border with the Belgorod region.
Russian propaganda did not admit defeat, it turns out that it was a cunning
maneuver and everything went according to plan. "In order to achieve the stated
goals of the special military operation to liberate Donbass, a decision was made
to regroup the Russian troops stationed in the Balakleya and Izyum regions in
order to step up efforts in the Donetsk direction" (from the telegram channel of
the Russian Defense Ministry). In short, a kind of "negative offensive."
Increased efforts on the speed of draping. Channels of Russian patriots
supporting the war against Ukraine howled, they say, how is it? There are "ours!"
"We don't leave ours!" As if they had forgotten that what A. Babchenko was right
about was that "The Motherland will leave you, son. Is always". So, the patriotic
guys "we can repeat", all this time you supported the lies that poured out of all
propaganda irons, and now you suddenly want the truth? True true? Honestly? From
whom? From the Ministry of Defense, which is embarrassed to call the war a war?
Maybe from journalists who can go to jail for any careless word? Maybe from
bloggers who were equated with the media with a corresponding trip to jail? So
eat what you yourself helped to grow.

2. Torture and death
We have already said in our issues that suffering and death seem to be the
national idea of the "Russian World", and that it brings them everywhere it tries
to spread. After the liberation from the Russian occupation of villages and
cities, prisons with torture chambers and many graves are found there, some of
which are people who survived the bullying by the invaders. It seems that the
only motivation of the occupiers was the ability to torture, kill and rob. As
soon as they were rebuffed, all motivation evaporated. They did not expect a
rebuff, they did not count on a counterattack. The entire hierarchical system of
the Russian army, built, like everything else in Russia, on the "vertical of
power" and fear of the authorities, crumbled like dust, the colossus of the
Russian army - the second in number and armament in the world - turned out to be
on feet of clay. Of course, it is still too early to celebrate the victory over
him, and every step towards this victory has been paid at a great price,
including the blood of our fellow anarchists who are fighting against fascism,
which the Russian invaders bring with them. But one can already see that the
devil is not so terrible as he is painted. The agonizing Russian Empire in its
current version is not so strong, and its Achilles' heel is precisely that it is
all built on lies, violence, submission and fear. She looks more and more like a
dinosaur that has been bitten off half of its body, but this fact has not yet
reached the brain.

3. Who will be thrown into the furnace?
Meanwhile, due to heavy losses, the Russian army is forced to replenish the
reserves of the so-called manpower. But the population of Russia, as we see, does
not show high motivation to fight in Ukraine. Especially after the current losses
and lies about the retreat. The government is clearly afraid to announce
mobilization. Well, firstly, what kind of mobilization is it if there is no war.
There is a "special operation". Secondly, the government is clearly still afraid
of its people and, therefore, is afraid to give them weapons. Well, how to rebel?
And then there were precisely the defeats in the war, which in the
Russian-Japanese war led to the first revolution, suppressed with great
bloodshed, which became the forerunner of the second, in 1917, when the mobilized
had both weapons and military experience, and the absence of any fear, but evil
on the "traitors in the headquarters" more than enough. And most importantly,
after the "Bloody Sunday" the king and his power lost their sacredness. So,
perhaps, in Putin's office, someone has learned to read real historical books,
and not just Dugin's fabrications. Well, where do you get people? Who to throw
into the furnace of war? The government no longer hides the fact that it is
recruiting criminals into its paramilitaries, including those imprisoned for
murder and robbery.

Anarchists are opponents of prisons and the punishment system that exists in
Russia, but a reasonable question arises: why, if murderers can now continue to
kill, just now they will also be paid for it, the main thing is that they kill on
Ukrainian territory, then it turns out, that the worst enemies for Russia are
artists, journalists and bloggers? Any honest person who writes the truth can be
repressed. Although... the apparatus of repression is also already beginning to
be thrown into the fire, as, for example, is happening with some parts of the
National Guard, created to fight protesters inside Russia itself. Well ... the
earth is glassy to them.

It is difficult to predict whether mobilization will eventually be announced, but
just in case, look at the resources that give advice on how to avoid
conscription, as well as how to protect children from brainwashing by fascist
propaganda, and other tips that are useful to you and very harmful to the
government. And history tips are in all high school textbooks.

4. And about the noble robbers
So, if we talk about history, then the times of noble robbers and dashing
expropriators, it would seem, have long since sunk into oblivion. However, this
week news came from Lebanon. There, a woman seized a bank and demanded the money
that was needed to treat her seriously ill sister.

The fact is that this money just belonged to her sister, but Lebanese banks froze
dollar accounts due to a lack of cash. Now Sally Hafez is a folk heroine. Because
the people love justice, and do not like when the opposite is true.

To the question, so what, anarchists propose to return to the days of raids on
banks? We will answer that anarchists propose to step forward into new times,
where human life will not depend on banks, governments and their territorial
disputes, as, for example, happened this week in another border conflict between
Azerbaijan and Armenia, and Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Since anarchists propose
to build a classless, stateless society based on self-government and mutual
assistance. This is what the 21st century should be remembered for.

Well, that's all for today! We remind you that in "Trends of Order and Chaos" the
participants of "Autonomous Action" give anarchist assessments of current events.
