Anarchists Fighting ISIS in Rojava Announce New Formation
Today we announce the formation of the International Revolutionary People’s Guerrilla
Forces, an explicitly anarchist, militant group in Rojava seeking to defend the Revolution
and advance the cause of anarchism. ---- The Role of the IRPGF ---- The International
Revolutionary People’s Guerrilla Forces (IRPGF) is a militant armed self-organized and
horizontal collective working to defend social revolutions around the world, to directly
confront capital and the state, and advance the cause of anarchism. We recognize and
affirm that principled action necessitates principled politics. We are not a political
party or platform but rather an armed collective comprised of comrades with different
anarchist positions. The IRPGF’s collective unity manifests itself in the praxis of
militant action which we consider a prerequisite for achieving liberation. Our role is
twofold; to be an armed force capable of defending liberatory social revolutions around
the world while simultaneously being a force capable of insurrection and struggle against
all kyriarchal forms of power wherever they exist.
We do not enter conflict zones with intent to command but rather, while retaining our
autonomy as a collective, to fight alongside other armed groups in solidarity with those
who are oppressed, exploited and facing annihilation. The IRPGF believes collective
action, solidarity and unity are necessary for struggle. International solidarity is the
most powerful weapon of the oppressed. At the same time we maintain the need for criticism
when and where appropriate. (Self)Criticism is not something to be feared. It is to be
embraced as the constant source of energy that drives individuals, communities and
revolutionary movements towards realizing liberation.
The Need for Armed Struggle
Within movements for liberation an enormous chasm exists between those who deploy peaceful
means to confront the enemy and those who defend both their communities and themselves
through armed struggle. These dichotomous positions contain within them an inter-sectional
network of social positions and identities that reveal their location, context and
content. For the IRPGF, peaceful methods are unable to confront and destroy the state,
capitalism and all forms of kyriarchal power. In fact, they do the reverse. They protect,
embolden and strengthen the enemy, enhancing the forms of oppression against increasingly
isolated individuals and divided societies. We believe that our liberation springs forth
from the barrel of a gun.
Armed insurrections and rebellions around the world will be carried out to the end. We
fight in defense of life and we struggle for total liberation. The nation-state,
authority, capital and social hierarchy are the enemies of a liberated world and therefore
enemies of us all. While we struggle through self-criticism and collective criticism of
our personal and collective internalizations of these oppressive behaviors, attitudes and
practices, the external enemies; the bosses, along with their armies and police, must be
confronted with bullets, bombs and dynamite. The fires of justice and freedom are
cleansing and all consuming. For us, there is no stepping back and no way to achieve
liberation except through struggle. Our communities will only be liberated when we destroy
those few whose wealth and power depend on the suffering and exploitation of many.
The master does not give the slave freedom simply out of an ethical act of pity,
selflessness and love. The slave must achieve their liberation through insurrection,
resistance and revolution, using every tool of the master to destroy both the master and
their mechanisms and apparatuses of domination and oppression. The yoke of tyranny and its
chains of repression cannot withstand the insurrection of the oppressed. We long for the
day when swords will be turned into ploughshares, but until that day arrives, if it ever
does, we will hold on to our weapons. The IRPGF’s existence is predicated on the necessity
of armed struggle. The moment this is no longer necessary, the IRPGF will cease to exist.
Our position is against the notion of “standing armies” or ossified revolutionary groups
that become insular states unto themselves.
The IRPGF’s International Position
We believe that the third world war has already started and that the conflicts in Syria,
Ukraine and in other parts of the world are only the beginning. The capitalist system,
nearing its end and having plundered the world and stripped it of its resources, faces its
most acute crisis yet. With no surplus labor population to put in its dungeons and
assembly lines, the antagonisms and contradictions of the system in crisis are unfolding.
With imperialist powers fighting for the last scraps to safeguard their livelihoods and
with fascism on the rise, a common struggle is developing against both the domination of
capital and the state. The IRPGF will stand with all peoples looking to secure their
futures free from ALL forms of oppression, domination and exploitation. We are cognizant
and recognize the intersection of unique identities and the particularities that exist
within individuals, in communities and between individuals and communities. We support and
seek to fully realize the polymorphic nature of human identity and struggle. To this end
we join with peoples around the world in their uniqueness, and in ours, to realize our
collective liberation.
MILITANT HORIZONTAL SELF-ORGANIZED COLLECTIVES & COMMUNITIES
FOR THE REVOLUTION AND ANARCHISM!

Update: Transnational protest on the Hungarian-Serbian border // 15 April
Transnational demonstration against the the EU border regime and its
actualization in the prisons and the militarized border of Hungary!
April 15th, Röszke/Horgos border crossing
https://www.facebook.com/events/1321782624534459
The Hungarian state continues to take an especially visible role in the
deathly puzzly of Fortress Europe, guarding capitalist means of
production in white hands. As the latest piece in the puzzle on March
15th the state passed legal changes which mean that ALL
people seeking asylum will be detained in prison-containers at the
Hungarian-Serbian border. It also means that the only place to apply for
asylum is in the two transit zone-prions at the border, where only 10
people per day can enter. Everybody who enters the country through other
parts of the fence — proud private property of the Hungarian state–
can be pushed back from the whole territory of Hungary to the Serbian
side of the fence again.
The push-backs, which are nothing less than legalized state violence,
are already happening since the fence was built in September 2015 and
years before that. Day by day people get beaten up, humiliated, attacked
with dogs and robbed
by the police in their attempts to cross the border. Without even the
need for masking, the special unit of the police in charge of this
violence is called the border hunter unit. 2 months of ‘training’ are
enough to be equipped with weapons and sent to the borders, with the
licence to protect white supremacy, at the frontiers of fascist Europe.
NO to the prisons guarding white Europe!
NO to the web of violence and militarized borders!
No to the criminalization of migration!
NO to the legalization and normalization of fascist politics!
PROTEST on the 15thof April on the Hungarian side of the border, at the
Röszke/Horgos border crossing! Further directions later:

POZIV NA TRANSNACIONALNU DEMONSTRACIJU NA MAĐARSKO-SRPSKOJ GRANICI
Transnacionalna demonstracija protiv graničnog režima EU i njegove
aktualizacije u obliku zatvora i militarizovanih granica!
15. April Horgoš/Röszke prelaz
https://www.facebook.com/events/1321782624534459/
Od 15. Marta je promenjen zakon u Mađarskoj koji nalaže da će SVI ljudi
koji
zatraže azil biti zatvoreni u kontejner- zatvore na srpsko-mađarskoj
granici. Takođe novim zakonom dve tranzitne zone na granici će biti
jedina mesta gde ljudi mogu zatražiti azil, a gde samo 10 ljudi svakog
(radnog) ima dozvolu za uđe u tranzitnu zonu. Svako ko uđe u zemlju van
ovih zona, ‘ilegalno’ biće izguran sa čitave teritorije Mađarske nazad
na srpsku stranu ograde.
Ova nasilna vraćanja se događaju još otkad je ograda izgrađena u
septembru 2015. a i godinama pre toga. Ljudi prijavljuju ozbiljno
nasilje koje sprovodi mađarska policija,
uključujući sate mlaćenja, ponižavanja, napada psima i pljačkanje.
Zakonske promene sistematski legalizuju nasilje, specijalne policijske
jedinice, takozvani GRANIČNI LOVCI nakon 2 meseca treninga se
naoružavaju i šalju na granicu, misijom da brane belačku superiornost
na granici fašističke evrope.
Mi protestujemo protiv bilo kakvog zatvaranja migranata i ljudi koji traže
azil!
Mi protestujemo protiv nasilja mađarskih (i svih ostalih) vlasti na
granicama! Mi protestujemo protiv dehumanizirajuće državne propagande!
NE zatvorima koji “čuvaju” belu hrišćansku Evropu!
NE nasilju i militarizovanim granicama!
NE kriminalizaciji migracije!
NE legalizaciji i normalizaciji fašističle politike!
Priključite nam se 15. aprila na mađarskoj strani granice!
