Almost a month ago, Peter Gelderloos wrote an article entitled "The Invasion Of Ukraine: Anarchist Interventions And Geopolitical Changes". It is gratifying that the perspective in the author's new work has shifted somewhat toward recognizing the subjectivity of the Ukrainian people and their allies.

"We must balance the conflicting needs of short-term survival and a revolutionary horizon, the conflicting lessons of always making space for anarchist positions in a conflict, never trusting states, and not being able to act from a place of purity and isolation. [...]

Authoritarians who claim to care about the the victims of US wars in Iraq or Afghanistan don’t care at all about the people suffering right now under Russian bombs. In fact, the question of “what should people in Ukraine do now that they have been plunged into war?” cannot even make an appearance in their analysis. Simply because Russia is a somewhat shorter range imperialist than the US, Ukrainian war victims must disappear from view."
