It’s always the same in wars. Those who start and organize wars benefit the most. When there is a war, the bourgeoisie increases the profits, but the proletarians count the graves. It is the working class that suffers most in wars: at the war front, on the home front and in civilian life.
The logic of war is reproduced when proletarians dressed in army uniforms fight inter-bourgeois conflicts and murder their class brothers and sisters on the other side of the war line. But the same people also have the power to stop wars. Every deserter brings us closer to that goal. Desertion is not just an individual form of self-defense. It is a class struggle. The struggle of the working class, against the bourgeoisie and the wars it produces. That’s why the logical step is to expropriate capitalist resources and share them with deserters.
Shopping centers, warehouses, factories, offices, trucks… Everywhere there are products that we can expropriate and donate to deserters who can more easily escape from the front, hide from repression and organize anti-war resistance. We can also sell the seized resources and use the money to finance practical support for desertion.
Go ahead! Let’s take back everything the capitalists stole from us. Let’s share it with the proletarians who are deserting the army and expressing their practical sabotage of war and militarism.
This call is inspired by the internationalist project Revolutionary Defeatist Network. We hereby send greetings to those who organize within this network. We call on others to be inspired and organize as well.
The only war worth fighting is the class war.
