Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, the anarchist environment has been
flooded with war propaganda. It is spread by liberals and social democrats whocall themselves anarchists for whatever reason. They are trying to gain followersfor their militarism and claim it is an anti-war stance. They talk aboutinternationalism, but they soon feed Ukrainian nationalism. They say they areagainst all states, but they encourage others to support the army that defendsthe domain of the Ukrainian state. ---- But there is also an anarchist oppositionhere. However, liberals like to accuse her of dogmatism, condescension,recklessness and insensitivity, or lump her in the same bag with the followers ofPutin's regime. But don't expect liberals to explain to you face to face what ispragmatic about dying for the interests of the ruling class and what is dogmaticabout defending proletarian interests. Liberals usually avoid direct discussion.However, he does not miss any opportunity to prevent opposition views fromcirculating in public places or on the Internet. They are afraid that someoneelse will see through their mystification and hypocrisy."Anarcho-liberals" claim that their positions are based on listening to people inUkraine and Eastern Europe, but they forget to add that they selectively consideronly those voices that fit their war propaganda. They are not interested inanti-militaristic voices from Ukraine or Russia, and they systematicallydiscredit those from other parts of the world. The Anti-MilitarismInitiative[AMI]has therefore taken on the difficult task of helping silenced andoverlooked voices be heard. That is why the Collection of Articles on the topic:Anarchism and War was published . It will be available for the first time at thebook fair in Prague and, like all AMI publications, it can also be downloaded inPDF format .https://antimilitarismus.noblogs.org/files/2023/05/anarchismus_a_valka_cerven_2023.pdfThe publication is published in cooperation with Nakladatelství Subversze .https://oafed.noblogs.org/post/2023/06/19/novy-sbornik-anarchismus-a-valka/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
