On this day in 1999, Swedish syndicalist Björn Söderberg was murdered by nazis outside his home in Stockholm. He had raised the alarm that a nazi was infiltrating a union at his workplace, and was killed as retaliation. Every year since, he is remembered for his courage, and acts as an inspiration in the fight against fascism. Rest in power Björn.

@anarkisminfo This is why We need to kill them.

@yama @anarkisminfo

killing random fascists won't help, and is more likely to undermine efforts

billionaires who rely on fascism to undermine democracy, i.e. Musk, and particularly henous political leaders, i.e. Trump and the more extreme parts of his circle, are better targets

@yama Anti-fascism can take many forms. One of the most fruitful is simply making fascist organizing as difficult and unfun as possible, exposing and ostracizing them, and working to create exit-opportunities for those that honestly reconsider their choice and want to return to a normal life.

Another is creating the visions and practical alternatives that make fascism uninteresting in the first place, and working for social change that undercuts the socioeconomic conditions that create the breeding ground for it in the first place.

Between all that, of course we should defend ourselves, our movements and our communities by any means necessary when the need arises. But violence is something we should do reluctantly, without any glorification, and as a last resort. Because in the end, it's not our language, it is the language of fascism and authority.
