Dear comrades!
We in the KRAS-IWA, as heirs to the anarchist anti-militarist tradition of the 1915 Manifesto, welcome participants in the international conference who have gathered to speak out against capitalist war and capitalist so-called “peace” and to denounce the supposed leftists and pseudo-anarchists who take sides in the capitalist wars. We hope that this forum will be an important step in establishing practical interaction from below and across all organizational boundaries between all genuine anti-war and anti-militarist social revolutionary forces.
Unfortunately, the situation in this country and the difficulty of communication with foreign Europe do not give us the opportunity to directly participate in the conference. But in spirit we are with you. We are sending you a statement of our position on the issue of war and ask you to familiarize the conference participants with it.
International Secretariate of KRAS-IWA Continue reading “KRAS-IWA: TO THE INTERNATIONALIST ANTI-WAR CONFERENCE IN PRAGUE”
The discussion will be focused on trying to articulate an autonomous, anti-capitalist position against war and militarism. Relaying on the experience of the anarchist activities during the 90s’ wars on the theritory of the so-called yugoslavia, we will discuss ways in which the logic of war and its “normality” was and still can be escaped. We will also try to consider the consequences of war on various aspects of our existence such as gender roles, environment and other material conditions, and finally call for the connection of all struggles against the capitalist machinery which include fights against the military, against racist migration laws, gender-based violence, privatisation of higher education, extractivism and so on.
The event is part of an Anti-war congress
On Thursday, May 23, 2024, as a part of the Action Week, Des(s)ertion will take place in Prague’s Park of Parukářka.

As a part of the May Action Week, we are calling for a protest on Monday May 20th, 2024 in front of the headquarters of STV GROUP a.s. in Prague. STV Group materially supports the Israeli army that is massacring the people of Gaza. It is part of a war machine that is a profitable business and at the same time it brings destruction, death, misery, famine…
We will not remain silent when we know that thousands of miles away people like us are being murdered. We call for solidarity with them and will work to ensure that the massacres cannot continue. At the same time, we clearly declare our refusal to support nationalist tendencies that do not benefit the impoverished people of Gaza, but above all those who rule and exploit them. Our solidarity is directed towards our class brothers and sisters in Gaza who are under attacks by the Israeli army and, at the same time, under daily attacks by Palestinian capitalists, repressive forces, bureaucrats and religious fundamentalists.
The exploited and oppressed in Gaza have no common interest with those who exploit them at home, just as it is not in the interest of the exploited and oppressed in Israel that the bombing of Gaza continues. We are not calling for “national unity” or “national liberation struggle”, but rather for the dismantling of national unity, which always represents a false “unity” between the subjugated social class and the capitalist class that subjugates it.
The cracks in the nationalist construction help the exploited, regardless of national borders, to recognize their common interests and the need to unite against their exploiters in Gaza, Israel and all over the world. Let us together denounce the “external” aggression of the Israeli State, but also the “local” aggression that takes place under the Palestinian flag. Let’s take a stand against nationalism – Israeli, Palestinian or otherwise. Let’s disrupt the business of the STV Group, which is adding fuel to the heat of the ongoing conflict in Gaza, but also in other parts of the world.
As part of the Action Week, we will also focus on art forms of protest against wars, and we will link it directly to a collection for war refugees. On Wednesday 22 May 2024 there will be a fundraising tattoo event as part of the Make Tattoo Not War campaign.
We know tattoos can’t stop war. But people who flee war need the means to be able to escape and then live with dignity. We will provide the money we raise to the refugees that the Russian and Ukrainian states tried to involuntarily mobilize and send to the front. They fled to save their lives and to avoid having to thwart the lives of those on the other side of the war line.
For the week of 20-26 May, an organising committee (OC) is inviting radical opponents of war from all over Europe to a week of action and a conference “against capitalist wars and capitalist peace” in Prague. In an interview with Transmitter, the organisers explain the aim of this meeting and their view of the war in Ukraine and how various left-wing movements are dealing with it.

Civil peace within capitalism is not an alternative to imperialist war, but rather its source. National “liberation” and “self determination” are fodder for interstate competition. National “liberation” only leads to the founding of new capitalist states or national ” Autonomy” in existing ones (for example: Kurdish nationalism in Syria and Iraq) and is a toy of imperialism. We are against pro-capitalist and pro-imperialist anti-fascism. Social revolutionaries fight democracy uncompromisingly – just like all other forms of government Military coups and dictatorships, but never defend democracy. Only the class-struggle-revolutionary proletariat has the power to progressively end the imperialist wars by destroying capitalism.
The collective organizing the May Action Week in Prague is calling for an anti-war demonstration to take place on Friday 24 May 2024 at 5pm on Palacký Square.

We invite you to workshops and a lecture “Kites instead of drones.” Wherever we are, a kite in a blue sky is a beautiful moving image. But the lives of people holding a string in their hand can be very different. In Afghanistan, today in Ukraine, in Palestine and in many other places around the world, children are afraid of clear skies because the weather is ideal not only for flying kites but also for drones. The “Kites instead of Drones” campaign is organised for children around the world living in fear. The campaign is a creative project for young people and was inspired by a true story that took place during the protracted war in Afghanistan.
