We would like to announce that Interregnum will be temporarily closing. There are many reasons for this, including personal and political ones. However, the closure of Interregnum is not, in itself, a negative thing- we have simply decided that, with our limited resources and time, we don’t currently have the capacity to keep it running at the level we want and aspire to. Hopefully, Interregnum will re-open when the conditions are right. Our social media links will be closed until we re-open. The web page (https://interregnum.live) will remain open but will not be renewed and will not be accep ..read more

Britain has entered the worst recession since records began. This crisis comes at a time when we see fascistic rhetoric aimed at migrants deployed by the UK government. The inevitable recession that COVID-19 was going to bring has arrived. The conditions are a perfect storm for fascist movements to gather pace and strength. Fascism thrives on the results of economic inequality- this is clear from an historical and global perspective. From Hitler’s rise from the ashes of economically decimated post-WWI Germany, to the contemporary examples of Greece’s Golden Dawn movement borne from the 2008 g ..read more

Yesterday’s spontaneous gathering in the centre of Glasgow took place in solidarity with a Polish non binary transgender activist Margot Szutowicz who has been put and is currently unlawfully held in pre-trail detention for a supposed act of vandalism. She is a part of Warsaw-based queer radical collective “Stop Bzdurom” which promotes sexual education and actively opposes the wave of extremely homo-, trans- and queerphobic violence actively promoted, encouraged and perpetuated by Poland’s far- right government, the Catholic church and conservative society. Margot as a transgender person is i ..read more

-Reporting from San Francisco- So, it has come to this. Unidentified Department of Homeland Security goons openly blackbagging American citizens in the streets of Portland.  You’d think they would’ve at least shown some awareness of the usual niceties observed by secret police the world over, from the KGB to the Chicago PD, and used the time-honored tactic of the 2AM knock on the door.  Maybe the pigs, assuming these are of the federal variety that’s totally unprepared for riot duty and not a bunch of mercenary scumbags or deputized right wing gun nuts who swore their private arsenal ..read more

-Reporting from Vienna- What has been happening in Vienna, Austria these past few days has shown once again how real and dangerous fascism is. No matter where it is, or where it’s from, and how little it concerns the political class and its executive arm so long as they can’t be called out for it . But that is exactly what we must do. Yesterday. Today. And Tomorrow. Favoriten, Vienna’s tenth district, has a long tradition of being heavily working class and has long been a centre for radical politics, unfortunately on both sides. The Grey Wolves are a highly organized group of Turkish fasc ..read more

–Reporting from San Francisco– In hindsight, we all should’ve seen this coming.  The onrushing descent into a cyberpunk dystopian hellscape would only call for a totally cyberpunk response.  I’m referring, of course, to Anonymous Juneteenth’s present to the world better known as #BlueLeaks, a steaming data dump on the face of the pigs that rivals Wikileaks in size and scope.  This trove of 269 gigabytes of data from over two hundred law enforcement agencies has everything from emails to policy papers, department records, and, for even more fun, information from agencies includin ..read more

Unlike the fascists, Brit-Nats and proud patriots currently ‘defending’ blocks of bronze and marble from imaginary hordes of An-tee-fah supersoldiers, we anti-fascists actually have a regard for the human life.  The preciousness of life inspires and informs every action we take as anti-fascists. It is the reason why more than 1,000 people decided to reclaim George Square on International Refugee Day. Arguably, it is the reason why we are anti-fascists in the first place.  History shows us that fascism will always result in the mass-murder, oppression and exploitation of the working c ..read more

The National Defence League (NDL) has once again announced its intention to hold a demo in George Square against working class protests. This time, the target is the Glasgow United Against Fascism (GUAF) rally due to be held at 10:30AM on George Square on Saturday the 20th of June. This rally is backed by the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT), the Fire Brigades Union (FBU), and the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) in a clear show of workers’ solidarity in the face of the bosses’ henchmen- the NDL class traitors who recently showed their patriotism by defending t ..read more

When Boris Johnson condemned Black Lives Matter protesters as ‘thugs’ recently (1), he may or may have not fully realised the racialised significance of what he was doing. Thug – as a term – has a long colonial history which, ironically, further paints the Prime Minister as having a somewhat romanticised view of colonialism (8). A brief history of the word ‘thug’: ‘Thug’ comes from Thuggee, who were groups of armed robbers who were said to roam the Indian subcontinent during the period of British colonialism in India. These groups of itinerant soldiers would wander from place to place, robbing ..read more
