Fuck empires, support local resistances.

We, the Solidarity Collectives, call on you to fight for mutual aid against imperialist and reactionary state or para-state policies.


Today, we see the US administration implementing far-right policies and using Ukraine as a bargaining chip in domestic games. The freezing of military aid is not an anti-war move or a promise of peace for Ukrainians but a threat by a wannabe dictator to use our country as a bargaining chip that plays into the hands of those who seek the defeat of the Ukrainian resistance.

Let’s be clear: blocking arms supplies to regimes committing war crimes is an essential tool of our movement. But stopping support for those who resist genocide and imperialist aggression is not anti-war—it is participation in destruction.

For Ukrainians, every frozen shipment means fewer defenses, more civilian deaths, more cities reduced to rubble by Russian missiles. If you want to act against war profiteering, target the companies and institutions feeding the Russian war machine, not those defending themselves from annihilation.

Trump and his allies are not anti-war—they oppose struggles for liberation and self-determination while strengthening authoritarian regimes. They continue to support authoritarian regimes, reinforce racist and xenophobic narratives, and fuel Neo-fascist movements. This is not a peacemaking position—it is a rejection of international solidarity and a signal to all reactionaries of the world that oppression and repression will be tolerated.

We have no illusions about the role of the United States as an imperialist power. We know NATO is not an alliance of liberation but of interest. But isolationism is not the answer. Isolationism is a trap. It is sold as strength but only makes space for greater oppression. It is the illusion of control while the world burns. You do not win a race by running alone—you only run alone like an idiot. Strength comes from connection, from solidarity, from collective struggles.

Solidarity with the peoples who resist is a political gesture which we can’t let be manipulated into a threat to gain benefits.

We call on anti-authoritarian and left-wing communities not to succumb to pseudo-anti-war rhetoric, which in reality only plays along with imperialism, and to continue to support those who are fighting for their own existence.

Anti-fascism is not contemplation, but action.

We want to share the analysis and proposals of our comrade Tom Nomad about the current situation in the US: https://www.rupturepress.org/blog/a-call-for-new-lines-of-conflict-confr...

We have spent three years building networks of resistance—and we will not stop. But to win, we need to grow. More hands, more voices, more action. Support your local anti-fascist and anarchist groups. Build new ones if they do not yet exist. Find comrades, analyze the situation together, learn from past and present struggles, and organize.

Organizing our movement together should be a priority in the face of counter-revolutionary isolationism, together we are stronger.

If you want to contact a group with whom we work internationally, you can find the list at the end of a video we made for 24 February 2025:

https://kolektiva.media/a/solidaritycollectives/video-channels

You can contact any of them to then understand how to effectively work in solidarity with our struggle, but also other struggles that happen internationally.

And you can be in touch with us anytime: https://www.solidaritycollectives.org/

Solidarity beyond borders. Fight where you stand. Build internationalism together.
