WORLD WORLDWIDE CZECH News Journal Update - (en) Czech, OAFed: The hypocrisy of "anarchists" in Ukrainian uniform and their supporters (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 We are reprinting an article from the Antimilitarist website. ---- The

Anarchist Federation (AF), which until last year was a supporter of
anti-militarism and revolutionary defeatism, i.e. the defining
principles for anarchism, i.e. anarchists do not participate in the
military operations of the state and, on the contrary, call for an end
to the fighting through mass disobedience, desertion, sabotage, etc.,
following the example of several former anarchists in Ukraine influenced
by nationalism, decided to support one side of the war conflict. The
main argument of this negotiation was to become the protection of the
civilian population from the occupying army. The falsity of these
arguments is shown now in the collection of AF per vehicle for this unit
fighting for Bachmut.

The city of Bakhmut has become a sad symbol of this war, a meat grinder
for thousands of Ukrainians and Russians for a piece of land. The city
is razed to the ground and without inhabitants! Thousands of people are
dying dressed in uniforms just so that one of the states can
symbolically raise their national flag there. Whom do the "anarchist
frontline soldiers" want to protect and what are the real purposes of
the purchased car when they falsely claim that it is for medical
assistance? For the residents of Bachnut who left the city long ago?
What will it carry? More unfortunates forcibly taken to the front line?
Where is the lifespan of a soldier a few hours? Or to import the dead
and wounded? To distribute ammunition? This is not in line with
anarchism, on the contrary, it screams against its principles. Do you
really want to support this instead of stopping fighting, stopping dying
for a city of rubble and rubble? What better to support the real
anarchists in Ukraine from the Kharkiv "Gathering" group, who are
calling for desertion, helping deserters and local residents affected by
the war, waging a class struggle with Ukrainian bosses and now trying to
help rebuild the city of Hulyajpole, the center of the famous Makhnov
anarchist movement?
