cross-posted from: https://hexbear.net/post/1009299 > Not the best article as it's mainly meant to appeal to liberals, as I was told recently, and convince those sitting on the fence. *People's World* does this from time to time as it has 2 million subscribers, at least, so the audience is much broader. Hopefully, you'll understand, though I know many will criticize this article, rightfully for certain things. > > Victor Grossman was someone that defected to the GDR (or DDR) and defended the GDR/DDR as well as the wider Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries. > > For the record, I do not believe that what happened on October 7th was reported accurately at all.
>Furthermore, Rivera filled the pages of *Sagitario* with scathing critiques of the post-revolutionary governments of Mexico, which would again land him in prison. On April 1, 1927, Rivera was arrested for authoring two articles published in *Sagitario*, denouncing the war of extermination being carried out against the Yaqui tribe in Sonora, and calling President Calles an assassin. For this, Librado Rivera spent seven months in the infamous Andonegui prison in Tampico. > >Rivera’s imprisonment didn’t silence him. He continued writing, denouncing the repression against him, and doubling down on his criticism of the post-revolutionary Mexican governments. He turned to other anarchist newspapers, including *Cultura Proletaria* in New York and *La Antorcha* in Buenos Aires, to get his word out. In a letter written from prison and published in *La Antorcha* on October 16, 1927, Rivera wrote: > >>The Calles-Obregón government that appears discursively to be resisting Yankee capitalism, is in practice a true lackey, who even lends itself to modify and impose the laws that those millionaires crave, as do the politicians and millionaires of Mexico.
>The appeal trial of comrades Vangelis Stathopoulos and Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis is currently ongoing for the case of the robbery of a betting office and alleged association to the Organization: “Revolutionary Self-Defense”. During their initial trial they were sentenced to 19 (Vangelis) and 16 years (Dimitris) in prison. All started in October 2019, after a robbery in a betting office, where one of the two participants was injured. In November 2019, armament was allegedly found and attributed, according to the police, to the Organization “Revolutionary Self-Defense”. Then, Vangelis Stathopoulos and another person were arrested by “anti-terror” police and remanded into custody. Vangelis Stathopoulos denied any involvement in the organization “Revolutionary Self-Defense”, but had admitted to helping the injured anarchist Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis with a medical emergency. > >Without any involvement in the original robbery of the betting shop, the prosecution chose to punish comrade Vangelis, because he showed his solidarity in practice when helping the wounded anarchist Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis. Thus, he was taken to the prison in Larissa, where he is kept until today. Meanwhile, Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis went underground and participated in the public political debate, defending the revolutionary action. On August 9, 2021, unfortunately he was arrested after an armed bank robbery in Thessaloniki and today he is being held in prison in Domokos.
>Many have accused the Portland police of refusing to arrest Sean’s killers due to his politics as an anarchist and the [documented bias of local law enforcement](https://nitter.42l.fr/IGD_News/status/1145636129011425282). Portland police have coordinated directly with far-Right groups while targeting antifascists at street protests and for years, police have allowed far-Right groups like the Proud Boys to engage in violence against the broader community and counter-protesters with impunity.

>I’m angry and bitter about the denial, but not really surprised about it. The Alabama Parole Board has been in the news lately about the refusal to grant parole to prisoners who have been incarcerated for 20 to 30 years or more and the racial disparity in who gets parole and who doesn’t. Last fiscal year, 23 percent of white prisoners were considered for parole, but only 9 percent of black prisoners. In fiscal year 2017, 54 percent of parole requests were granted. This was a high rate for Alabama. By the fiscal year that ended in June, the approval rate was just 15 percent. So far in fiscal year 2022, the rate is 10 percent. The current parole board is led by Leigh Gwaffney, a former prosecutor. Other members include a former probation officer and a state trooper. Victims of Crime and Leniency (VOCAL), an influential victims group, sends volunteers to testify against nearly every prisoner up for parole. A representative from the State Attorney General’s office does the same.
Actually, though, I'm surprised to not see at least one book by Kropotkin on the sidebar of c/anarchism. Edit: Especially when Bakunin 👀 is on there...
Diverging from the site developer's political views even slightly results in a ban. Lemmy is not for all types of communism, only the type the site creators believe in and enforce. Hopefully this notice will save new users from wasting their time.
I don't come here often, but I see that 11 days ago AnarchoBolshevik deleted all his comments. Anyone know what's up? Hopefully he is alright
