- So instead of asking whether an action is violent, we might do better to ask simply: does it counteract power disparities, or reinforce them?
This is the fundamental anarchist question. We can ask it in every situation; every further question about values, tactics, and strategy proceeds from it.

What is violence?
Is it tossing a tear gas canister back to the mercenaries who shot it at you?
Is it blowing a whistle at bounty hunters who are trying to abduct someone?
Perhaps, rather than asking whether an action is "violent," we should ask—
Does it perpetrate oppression? Or interrupt it?

The Illegitimacy of Violence, the Violence of Legitimacy
What is violence? Who gets to define it? Does it have a place in the pursuit of liberation? This discussion never takes place on a level playing field.

“Israel has systematically disinterred thousands of bodies in cemeteries across Gaza. Israel keeps some of these bodies in morgues, others in unnamed, numbered graves inside military zones called ‘cemeteries of numbers.”

US forces murdered a child's parents, a marine then kidnapped the kid from her surviving family, and "adopted" her. A court decided this was totally legal and fine due to a technically in Virginia law even as dissenting judges made it clear this was a fucking kidnapping

Yeah this is EXACTLY what they did after killing Silverio Villegas González here.
The ICE agents who killed him walked around the scene, picked up dropped gear and a magazine, holstered their weapons, and then one drove their car away.
Cops helped them out and never even asked their names.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "I don't know. You kill a man and then you just leave? You're law enforcement and you just leave? Is there a single case in American history where you just, like, walk away and say, 'I guess that just happened and we're not going to clean up our mess'?"

The great secret of the state is laid bare: there never was a difference between the secret police dragging someone away and a group of random paramilitaries doing the same thing
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Liberals fear that if people act unruly, Trump will be able to impose totalitarian control.
That gets things backwards. Trump is already imposing totalitarian control. That's what is driving people into the streets.
It's too late to avoid this fight.
We can be passive and lose—or give it our all.

It's Safer in the Front
Faced with intensifying repression and state violence, there is an understandable inclination to seek safety by avoiding confrontation. But this is not always the most effective strategy.

What if we took emotional care labor seriously as an organizing priority so that our fucking organizing didn't collapse when a bunch of broken traumatized people broke under the pressure?

Having ever worked for or snitched to ICE should from now on be the kind of thing you have to run away from. In ten years when antifascists out you as a former ICE agent it should be the kind of thing where you have to pack your bags, immediately move town, and change your and your family’s names
ICE is entrapping people who are here legally---telling them to report to the Immigration Office to advance their status--and then abducts them for deportation without due process. This can't be legal.
They are just mean and nasty. Cruelty is the point.

there's a scene in Conspiracy, a movie about the Wannsee Conference where the Holocaust was planned, in which one Nazi asks everyone in the room with a law degree to raise their hands almost the whole room does
you should not be framing your objections to this regime in terms of what is legal.

I don’t know. People want to grasp to grasp to ideas of legality like a life preserver while authoritarians warp the legal system. If you want to drown in the water, best of luck. But people are going to have to wrap their minds around the fact that authoritarian takeovers change everything.
