WORLD WORLDWIDE UK UNITED KINGDOM - news journal UPDATE - (en) UK, AnarCom: Anarchy and the State (ca, de, it, pt, tr) [machine translation]

 A commentary on graffiti created by an "unknown" artist by Lukáš Borl

---- I used to think that everything had limits. But when I saw the
graffiti in the attached photo, I thought that the political confusion
of the artist was absolutely limitless. Incorporating an anarchist
symbol into the name of a state, that takes a great deal of deranged.
Perhaps the author does not know that anarchy is the negation of all
states, i.e. Russia, Czech Republic, Ukraine, France and all other
states. Perhaps it is not important for him that anarchists have always
been persecuted, criminalized, imprisoned and suppressed by all states -
totalitarian and democratic. Perhaps the author thinks that if we put an
anarchist symbol in the name of a state, the state will cease to be a
state and turn into anarchy. If only it were that easy.

Who knows, maybe next time we'll see the same anarchist symbol in the
words stAte or CeskÁ RepublikA. These words also include the letter "A",
so the confused graffiti artists have good material for their work.

For those who are not into political confusion, other areas may be more
interesting. For example, facts about the nature of the state that bears
the name Ukraine.

Ukraine is a state that has closed its borders to a large part of its
male population, effectively trapping these people in a war zone.
Ukraine is a state whose army persecutes men of draft age and forcibly
forces them to the front, putting them in danger of serious injury or death.
Ukraine is a state whose border guards persecutes, tortures and murders
deserters.
Ukraine is a state whose courts prosecute deserters and whose prisons
imprison them. At the moment, official statistics speak of more than
200,000 deserters, but there are likely to be others who are not
officially registered.
Ukraine is a state whose courts are currently conducting political
trials against anti-militarists on charges of "discrediting the armed
forces of the Ukrainian state."
Ukraine is a state that criminalizes certain political entities on
charges of "supporting and promoting communist ideology," which
logically could also affect anarchist groups that refer to class
struggle and anarchist communism.
Ukraine is a state that applies a discriminatory policy towards the
Russian-speaking population.
Ukraine is a state that has incorporated far-right formations such as
Azov, the Brotherhood, the Right Sector, the Organisation of Ukrainian
Nationalists (OUN), etc.
Ukraine is a state that provides protection for the bourgeoisie that
grossly exploits the working class. Workers in Ukraine normally receive
20 000 hryvnia (= 460 Euros) for a month's work, while the prices of
basic commodities are similar to those in the Czech Republic.
The Ukrainian state suppresses workers' struggles for better working and
living conditions.
Ukraine is a state that is less brutal than neighbouring states such as
Russia or Belarus, but nevertheless its basic essence is the defence of
the privileges of the capitalist class at the expense of the working class.
Ukraine is a state that oppresses, in particular, that section of the
working class that, in terms of the state bureaucracy, falls into the
category of ‘Ukrainian citizens'.
Ukraine is a state that preserves all the contradictions of class
society and therefore all the misery of proletarian life.
