How
did Trump come to power, and what does that tell us about the times we
are living in? What strategies are effective in countering
increasingly repressive governments and the rise of grassroots nationalism?
Framing Trump’s presidency in a global context, we will explore some of
the approaches to self-organization and self-defense that anarchists
and others are employing in various parts of the United States.
Immediately upon Trump’s election, anarchists set out to disrupt
business as usual in hopes of fracturing the ruling class before the US
government could legitimize even more repressive policies. In the first
weeks of Trump’s presidency, a powerful wave of protest around the
United States temporarily accomplished this goal. Now, as the Trump
administration endeavors to realign itself with the rest of the state
machinery while grassroots fascist organizing gains momentum, resistance
movements face new dangers and new opportunities.
