"The last year paints a clear picture: fascists are now recognised politicians who are gaining votes. This is reflected both on the streets and on social media. Many people ask themselves what should happen next and what we can do. However, to understand how we can defeat fascism, we must first clarify where it comes from and how it expresses itself today This is what this little brochure is for."

Have a look at Young Struggle's new booklet on the topic of fascism, what fascism is, what it looks like today, and what you can do against the new rise of fascism today.

The Year 2025 Will Be the Year of Women’s Revolution and the Victory of the People

We have experienced a year filled with significant events, including the conflicts of the Third World War. Amidst all this, there has been widespread resistance by the people. Throughout the year, the people of northeastern Syria and the defense forces demonstrated once again the resolve of our people against all forms of colonialist and genocidal attacks, reaffirming their determination to live freely and equally. Each year is welcomed with hopes for peace, calmness, and love. However, the occupation forces attempt to suppress these hopes with their inhumane violations.

As the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), we resist all threats that prevent women and communities from living freely across all domains. We are engaged in a struggle for existence.

INTERVIEW WITH TEKOŞINA ANARŞIST FROM THE FEDERATION OF ANARCHISM ERA’S

Tekoşîna Anarşîst is an anarchist organization that has been fighting in Rojava since 2017, when it was formed. We came together to give collective answers to the questions and hopes that brought many of us here, to support and to defend this revolution. This forced us to reflect about our dynamics and our history, not just as individuals or as organization, but also as a movement. Coming together from different places and different anarchist traditions created some challenges for us, but it also opened opportunities to develop more diverse and comprehensive analysis and perspectives. This allowed us to reflect on strengths and shortcomings of the movements we come from, as well as ways to improve.

📢 Middle East Youth Initiative meets on developments in Syria and takes stand against occupation

The Middle East and North Africa Youth Initiative Coordination held a meeting on December 30th via "ZOOM". The meeting was attended by many youth organizations, individuals and women's organizations, who came from all over the Middle East and North Africa.

"The Syrian people must know that the nationalist Turkish state system is the common enemy of all and we emphasize that the only project that stands against these national, religious and gender-based and scientism-based practices is the democratic project that respects and includes all religions and beliefs. It establishes faith and free will for them. It paves the way for the construction of a free democratic society.”

The Zapatista insurgency turns 31 in the midst of the first session of "Los encuentros de resistencia y rebeldía"

It has been 31 years since that Jan. 1, 1994 when the EZLN rose up in arms against oppression and for the autonomy of indigenous peoples. The story of these three decades has often appeared to us as a tale of magical realism masterfully carried out by former spokesman Marcos, but it is the tension toward the future that has enabled the Zapatista organization to achieve these results.

It is in that context that this anniversary is set: we are within the first of six sessions of international meetings that will accompany all of 2025 (Convocatoria-zapatista-2024-2025), with a particular focus on "the day after." But what do the Zapatistas mean by "the day after"?

Young women in Heseke learn to use weapons on the basis of self-defense

Against attacks by the invading Turkish state and SMO gangs on the territory of northern and eastern Syria, SDF fighters carry out a unique resistance. In addition, young women who are leaders and symbols of the revolution are participating in the process with a mobilizing spirit and showing their attitude and reaction against the attacks.

The key thing for greater participation in the spirit of mobilization is for all people to strengthen their power of self-defense so that they can protect themselves, their people and their land.

On this basis, the effort initiated by the Hesek City Young Women's Union to teach young women who do not know how to use weapons continues.

Dozens of young women learn how to protect themselves from possible attacks by training weapons according to the strategy of the Revolutionary People's War. Young women who in the early days learned how to open and hold a gun are now learning how to use it with a shot.
