Not Just an Incel Attack

3WF

The manifesto of the June 22nd Montréal incel shooter has been widely dismissed as “salad-bar extremism,” a confused hodgepodge that is “neither left nor right.” It’s actually a carefully constructed fascist manifesto that addresses all the key far-right tropes, but replaces the ethnonationalism usually at the center of fascist ideology with a vicious misogyny.

Three Way Fight virtual book event August 5th

Book co-editors Xtn Alexander and Matthew N. Lyons will discuss Three Way Fight: Revolutionary Politics and Antifascism in an online event sponsored by Firestorm Books. “Three way fight” refers to a political approach, a political project, and a book, and the presentation will give an overview of all three.

“Anti-hate” think tank scapegoats China for Palestine solidarity protests

There’s a real money trail linking China’s propaganda apparatus with some pro-Palestinian organizations in the U.S. But the Network Contagion Research Institute distorts this bid for influence into a conspiracist vision of the Chinese Communist Party secretly directing mass protests to destabilize America.

New Video Promo For Three Way Fight: Revolutionary Politics and Antifascism

What’s the relationship between combating the far right and working for systemic change? What does it mean when fascists intensify racial oppression and patriarchy, but also call for the downfall of economic elites or even take up arms against the state? Three Way Fight: Revolutionary Politics and Anti-Fascism offers an introduction to three way fight politics, with more than thirty essays, position statements, and interviews spanning from the antifascist struggles of the 1980s and 1990s to the political upheavals of the 21st century.

Anti-Zionist Reflections on Zionism and the American Jewish Community

To uphold the idea that Jewishness is equivalent to Zionism in a world where a large chunk of younger Jews no longer identify with Zionism and oppose the inhumanity of Israel’s rule over Palestinians, you have to silence all of the Jews who disagree with you.

Genealogies of Anti-Fascism Book Review

New book by D.Z. Shaw, Genealogies of Antifascism: Militancy, Critique and the Three Way Fight

We are excited to see this new collection of writings from D.Z. Shaw, Genealogies of Antifascism: Militancy, Critique and the Three Way Fight. This book puts together material found on the Three Way Fight site as well as new unpublished pieces. This book, along with Three Way Fight: Revolutionary Politics and Antifascism, while different in scope and content, should be seen as complimentary with the intent on deepening analysis, discussion and debate within the militant antifascist and anti-capitalist movements.

Global crisis. Political and social uncertainty. War, repression, death and displacement. The ruling classes struggling to maintain their systems legitimacy. The rise of popular far-right and radically reactionary movements asserting themselves electorally and in the streets. And yet, the world over, people see that the only way towards a better future built on dignity, justice and freedom is to organize and fight back. Here’s some contributions to our movements from our movements.

Notes on Trump/MAGA 2024

Even more than in the past, Trump and the MAGA movement have brought key elements of fascist politics into the Republican Party, and a second Trump presidency is likely to be significantly more authoritarian than the first one.

The institutional far right is strong, while the far left is weak and disorganized. To develop the capacity to meaningfully intervene in the current crisis, far leftists need to engage with oppressed communities and work together with liberals in a united front.

Who’s Afraid of Luigi Mangione? A Response to Alexander Reid Ross

2 comments

Luigi Mangione’s recent alleged killing of an insurance CEO touched a wedge issue that cuts across class and across the political spectrum—the massive corruption of the health insurance industry—and created an opening for the left. A recent article by ex-leftist Alexander Reid Ross, which dismisses Mangione as expressing an American proclivity for violence, represents a counterinsurgency action in defense of the state.
