Nomattimen is a new blog. Lots of news and has an international perspective.
However, while its cool to give a nod to the Indigenous/First Nations, it’s puzzling to see the antifas at nomattimen calling out for an anti-fascist “brotherhood”.
Assuming that the comrades at nomattimen agree that the struggle against fascism is a struggle premised on a joint work that is not limited to and infact seeks to undermine “brotherhood”, then why the emphasis?
The history of antifascist struggle is rich in cross gender, gender bending, and non-male idetified partisans and militants.
An element of fascism is determining strict gender roles. The revolutionary and anti-capitalist antifascism that our side advocates is about identifying and promotring opposition to the current values of this class-patriarchical society and developing new human relations and expressions, both individual and collective. Brotherhood aint what this struggle is about.
With that said, we welcome nomattimen and look forward to engagement with ’em.

Nomattimen is a word in the ancient Native American Algonquian language. It means “we are brothers”.
In this blog we support the anti-fascist brotherhood.
