3 years ago by Five to c/anarchism

Georgia prosecutors have indicted 61 individuals under the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, for their alleged participation in the #StopCopCity movement and for, as they put it, promoting “virulent anarchist ideas.”

Indicting anarchists under organized crime statutes is deeply ironic.

What do you mean? Anarchists can (and should!) be organised.

Anarchists are opposed to being ruled, not opposed to organization. We want our organizations to be voluntary.
