Working Class - Why Aren't You Kicking Off?

The UK is currently in the worst state the public has seen since the Great Depression, with hundreds of thousands of people homeless and living in temporary accommodation while thousands more freeze to death in the bitter cold on the streets outside. The establishment's response to this crisis? "Just open more food banks and force the working class to set up homeless support groups with their meager earnings. Oh, and make sure they're all out of the way on the day of the Royal Wedding!"

Fuck that #FuneralsNotWeddings

They're cunts! No red-and-black-blooded anarchist or anyone else with compassion for their fellow human beings is going to allow comrades to die on the streets with nothing but a cardboard box to protect them from the harsh English temperatures, and so it's only right that direct action groups use their skills and knowledge to prevent that from occurring. Of course, while people do all they can to help those most vulnerable, the actions of non-state-run assistance programs for homeless people, while providing a lifeline to adults and children in need, can also mask the problem somewhat.

We want to get rid of the state, the monarchy, and all forms of hierarchical authority in our society, and so fully support all charitable community organisations focused on improving the lives of the people most let down by the UK establishment. It's just crucial that those feeding the homeless on our streets and collecting money for sleeping bags don't do so in silence. You need to get angry as fuck about the fact that you're having to do it when the Government has more than enough money and resources to give everyone a roof over their heads.

If you're part of a group that supports homeless people, start keeping records of everything you do. Create a log that you can publicise and stick under the noses of other people in your community. Make your voice heard at your local council and shout so fucking loud it's impossible for those pricks to ignore you. Don't mask the housing crisis with your good nature because that's what the bastards who continue to cause it want!

On 1st January this year, the BBC reported there are more than 216,000 homes in the UK that had been empty for more than six months. 11,000 of them have been without human life for more than a year! Is it right that we live in a society where the rich fat-cat landlords and their Eton-graduating, subsidised-fish-and-chips-eating, politician puppets allow and even encourage this blatant disregard for decency and justice? No it is fucking not, and we need to do something about it.

Anarchists believe in creating a democratically-run society in which there are no forms of oppression, and every man, woman, non-gender conformist, and child has the right to take part in any and all decisions that affect their lives. This is about more than just putting a tick in a box every four years and choosing between someone who clearly thinks you're scum, and someone who pretends they don't. Through anarchy, it's possible for workers to take control of their lives and build a world based on co-operation and respect rather than violence and coercion. Free housing for all. Free food for all. Anything human beings need to survive? FREE FOR EVERY MEMBER OF SOCIETY. And how do we pay for it? With the money and assets those upper-class hereditary bankers and business owners stole from us for hundreds of years.

Homelessness is only one of the major issues terrorising the working class today. Just take a moment to think about what our slimy establishment is getting up to overseas. They've raped, pillaged, and stolen everything they could lay their hands on from the Middle East and Africa for hundreds of years, and while they might attempt to cover their tracks a little more these days, it's still going on right now. The Queen's military's intervention in Libya led to a situation in which there are videos online of slaves being sold in the streets, and British and coalition actions in Syria are almost too gruesome and cruel to imagine.

Theresa May's government has just met with Saudi Arabian officials and secured a new arms deal worth more than £100,000,000. They're selling equipment and military support to a country that's massacring thousands of innocent civilians in Yemen with no sign of halting its brutal campaign. While unconfirmed by official sources, we've all seen that video online that seems to show the dropping of a tactical nuclear warhead on the country and the devastation it caused. Yet we let this band of Thatcher-loving, armored BMW-owning, shit stains sell ever more weapons to the very regime that funds this oppression and chaos?

At the same time, those wankers still imprison republicans in Ireland without charge and lock you up for peacefully planting a few seeds and growing weed in your bedroom.

Fuck off. FUCK RIGHT OFF.

Capitalist systems are designed to create a wealthy and delusional elite at the very top and a vast pool of suffering and poverty at the bottom. That is fundamental to the basic make-up of the concept, and it's something we must reject at every juncture. There are probably only a few thousand dedicated anarchists in the UK at the moment who understand the revolution and the part they must play for the success of the movement going forward. However, there are thousands more poor folks out there in the working class who agree with the principals of smashing the state, but who feel terrified about the uncertainty of what comes next.

While there's endless propaganda spurted by the "other" side about the dangers of an anarchist non-state, this video gives an interesting insight into the situation in Spain during the 1930s when many parts of the country adopted the anarchist model. It's still the most successful attempt at anarchism in global history, and those people who feel concerned about living in an anarchic community are sure to gain some relief from this clip. It highlights the way in which Spanish people went about organising their lives, and it should provide a better understanding of how an anarchist system in the UK might work. Show this video to anyone who thinks they need a Queen or a Prime Minister to run their societies.

What The Fuck Is Anarchy Anyway?

When most people hear the term "anarchy" or "anarchist, they tend to think of gangs of face-covered kids throwing bricks at the EDL's finest racist wankers. While that's certainly one function of the anarchist movement, the true ideology runs much deeper, and Invisible Guerrillas work hard to support all true anarchists around the world. The dictionary definition of the political theory is: "a political philosophy that advocates self-governed societies based on voluntary institutions." That probably explains the fundamental idea of the concept, but what does it mean in practice? Well, all true anarchists should aim to overthrow the government, monarchy, and any other form of authority in their societies. Anarchists believe that it's possible for human beings to co-exist peacefully without being forced into societal participation with the threat of impending violence. Just think about it for a minute. Are people who live in the UK free citizens

Another Royal Wedding, Another Working Class Robbery

On 19th May, 2018, Royal parasite Prince Henry or Harry as he's commonly known, plans to tie the knot with some trumped up footballers-wives-dreamer at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. As anarchists who believe in the abolition of the UK's medieval-style gangster-monarchy, it is our duty to expose this disgustingly-sick, paid-for-by-the-public event for the robbery it is. While the exact cost of the shit show is still unknown, the UK press estimates the ceremony itself will cost no less than £500,000. St George’s Chapel can accommodate 800 guests, and Harry, as the third-in-line to the throne, is sure to invite some of the most hideous members of the UK government alongside those shameful leeches on society who sell their souls to become a Knight of the Realm (and if you're reading this from overseas, yes, Knighthoods are still a thing in the UK.) It is estimated that 5000 of the worst and most aggressive police "officers" will take to the streets in

Anarchists Show Support For Kurdistan #WorldAfrinDay

Today is World Afrin Day, and as such, anarchists around the world are offering their support and solidarity to their Kurdish brothers and sisters currently suffering atrocities and crimes against humanity at the hands of Turkish head of state Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan and his jihadi proxy armies. There are protests happening right now (Saturday 24th March 2018) in the UK, US, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Italy, and hundreds of other countries around the world in which anarchists are out in force to condemn the actions of the terrorist Turkish government against the Kurdish civilians and freedom fighters in Afrin city. The Women's Protection Units also known at the YPJ, and their male counterparts in the YPG fled the area in an attempt to limit the Turkish military and their militias in their attacks on the civilian population. Turkish airstrikes have devastated the city and displaced more than 100,000 residents in the imperialist government's attempt to invade and capture A

New Song: For Bernadette

Lyrics:  I know  There'll never be another  Rebel who can touch her  And I'll shout it out  Right there  Fighting in the Bogside  Fire all in her eyes  Man she did us proud  She was the girl with the petrol bomb in her hands  Never giving in to their demands  Slapping politicians where they stand for control of the Irish land  The girl with the petrol bomb in her hands  Building barricades, she took command  And I'll never understand how some people don't get, my beautiful Bernadette She was the girl with the petrol bomb in her hands  Never giving in to their demands  Slapping politicians where they stand for control of the Irish land  The girl with the petrol bomb in her hands  Building barricades, she took command  And I'll never understand how some people don't get, my beautiful Bernadette

New Song: Kill Capitalism

Lyrics: (Capitalist) Well hello there England, it's is my pleasure to welcome you to the shit show. The system is in full swing, and although you haven't got anything, capitalism is thriving! Don't look at that poor man dying or think about homelessness. We've got the best in Saturday night entertainment. Eat your McDonald's and think of the empire! Forget about your troubles, come on get happy, but don't you dare talk of revolution or we'll really put the boot in! (Workers) I am not stupid, I won't let you do it, I can see through your lies. You tell me it's okay, you're taking all my pay, it's slavery in disguise. Working for nothing, it's doing my nut in, you're lazing in luxury. I'm gonna take your yacht and everything you got cuz you stole it all from me. (Capitalist) Perhaps I didn't make myself clear so let me say it again. Capitalism is thriving! We're opening up new branches all over the w

New Song: This Is Class War

Lyrics:  She's just a parasite  Set the palace alight  Too much blood on her hands  From when they stole the land  And she's still dropping bombs  On other people's sons  We've gotta take the crown  We've gotta do it now  THIS IS CLASS WAR  She is really mean  So fetch the guillotine  Yeah she is really mean  So fetch the guillotine  We'll rewrite history  And smash the bourgeoisie  All the matters to me  This state of anarchy  THIS IS CLASS WAR
