Program:

Our guest is Giulia, one of the organizers of the Demo: International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Womxn* (FLTI*) and a member of Berlin Migrant Strikers. We discuss the upcoming march and why it’s important to take a cross-community stand against violence against womxn.

Wählen Gegen Rechts: Stand Der Dinge - News about the right wing at home and abroad

- Nazis in the Bundeswehr: Around 200 far-right and neo-nazi “preppers” used their position in the Bundeswehr to plot an armed rebellion and mass murder of left-leaning politicians and individuals.

- Right-wing paramilitaries in the US: The militant far right is also engaged in physical training of armed groups, possibly linking up with Minutemen-style border vigilantes. Sigh.

- Gab moves to Bitpay: The site where Robert Bowers got inspired to carry out his anti-Semitic attack has lost their access to monetary instruments – so of course Bitpay stepped in. It is hardly the only time evidence of fascist fetishization of crypto-currencies has turned up.

We also chatted briefly about Neo-liberal darling Hillary Clinton’s recent statements can only be described with a thousand facepalm emojis… Also more from the Guardian about why some moderates think they lost.

Recommended events in Berlin:

25/11 3-5PM: Demo: International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Womxn* (FLTI*) starts at Hermannplatz. Cis-Men are not invited, they are welcome to take other actions to stop violence against women.
