@narchist Talking Points
We're not anti-war because we disagree with the need to defend oneself against oppression and attack. As anarchists, we're anti-war because war is an instrument for only one thing: extending the power of the State. The so-called "war against terrorism" may be the biggest power grab yet by the most powerful State in human history: the USA.

Anti-Capitalist Call to action against the war and U.S. Imperialism by Anti-Capitalist Convergence
As the U.S. government wages war on an entire population abroad, we call for an escalation of resistance against U.S. imperialism here at home. The power of the Taliban in Afghanistan is the direct result of years of U.S. arms supply, funding, training, war mongering, covert operations and interventionism. We, the members of the Anti Capitalist Convergence in Washington, D.C., have long opposed the actions of the U.S. government.

Why Anarchists Oppose Militarism and Nationalism by BAAMN
Anarchists oppose the idea of nationalism, believing that America is a superior nation, and even patriotism, blind devotion to America. Emma Goldman, a famous anarchist, wrote: "Patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one surrounded by an iron gate. Those who had the fortune of being born on some particular spot, consider themselves better, nobler, grander, more intelligent than the living beings inhabiting any other spot. It is, therefore, the duty of everyone living on that chosen spot to fight, kill, and die in the attempt to impose his superiority upon all the others. The inhabitants of the other spots reason in like manner, of course..."

Fighting the next war not the last one by Michael Novick
It has been said that generals are always preparing to fight the last war. In this case, it looks like the generals and spy-masters are way out in front fighting the next one, while it is we on the left and in the peace movement who are fighting the last one. Compared to what we are entering on, the Gulf War or even the Vietnam War were only skirmishes. We are facing a colossal political watershed. Bush, Cheney et al have lied about many things over the past weeks, but they have told one truth -- this is going to be a long, total war, and the terrain on which we struggle has been fundamentally changed. It establishes the groundwork for all on-going struggles, in the US, Canada and throughout Bush's global "coalition" of states.

After the Fall –Our Future is Now by Crimethinc
When I laid down my weary head to rest on Monday, September 10, 2001, I felt that I had a fairly clear idea of where the anarchist project was heading in the next few years and of what my part in that project was to be. We were picking up momentum, patiently building the infrastructure that we hoped would ultimately facilitate the system's demise and occasionally confronting it, overtly by day and covertly by night. We did the quiet work, built quiet armies, and went largely unnoticed while the powers that be largely slept - so fat, lazy, senile and over-confident that it really did seem like maybe we could just evade them until we could bring them down. When I woke up Tuesday morning to the twin towers falling and the Pentagon burning, it became quickly apparent that this trajectory was no longer realistic.

An Anti-authoritarian Response to the War Efforts by Chuck Morse
We are living through scary times. Clearly the US Government and its allies believe they have a grand opportunity to realign domestic and international relationships in their interest. This is frightening: major shifts in the political landscape threaten to tear the ground from beneath our feet.
