This is by Reem Abu-Hayyeh at the excellent IRR news service. Read the original here. A timely pamphlet aimed primarily at French trades unionists provides an opportunity to reflect on the FN’s growing appeal to working-class voters. ‘If we don’t stop the waves of immigration, in ten years whites will become a minority in France.’ ‘If we […]


These posts are from Infantile Disorder, from over the last month: Merseyside Anti-Bedroom Tax Federation Go Animal Farm on “The Anarchists” A campaign of lies, in aid of fascism In a sickening act of deceit, the Merseyside Anti-Bedroom Tax Federation Twitter account has begun attacking “the anarchists” with misinformation designed to cover for the undemocratic actions of […]


A third Greek/fascism post in a row. This story has been chronically underreported: A Holocaust memorial in Rhodes was spray-painted with swastikas.

The resulting mess has been splattered over several gritty sidewalks on the information superhighway, including anarchistnews.org (see: ‘Post-Immigration March Scuffle Targets National Anarchists’; a re-post of Lauren Smiley’s article from SF Weekly). This fact prompted me — somewhat foolishly, I admit — to have another crack […]


On Friday May 7th during a meeting of the Pacifica Forum where known National Socialist Movement speaker Jimmy Marr was hosting an anti-Semitic event entitled “Deciphering Jewish Intellectual Movements” multiple Antifa activists were brutalized, detained, and charged. More info on from Infoshop. Detailed report from the bourgeois Daily Emerald. And on the previous fixture. (The […]


Some time ago, I linked to some allegations made against leftist antifa activists by a group of ultra-conservative sites, Diana West, Tundra Tabloids and Brussels Journal. These sites were alleging that in various places, including Koln and Malmo, antifa activists had violently targeted Jewish people, calling them Nazi because of real or imagined affiliations with […]
