We note the recent proscription of the so-called ‘Antifa Ost’ at an international level by the Trump Administration and the increased repression taking place worldwide against the radical left, anarchist and anti-fascist movements.
The Hungarian government made antifascism officialy illegal through legislative means. Antifascist activists are under surveillance, demomstrations are banned. The new legislation makes room for limitless repression.
At the 14th of February, there is going to be an international nazi meeting in Budapest. Nazi rock festival, nazi grand meeting, nazi tour, with several thousands of attendees. The antifascist counter demonstration is banned. Several hundred policeman are going to protect the nazi events and in the meantime, hunt for antifascists.
We ask all antifascists, to protest the Hungarian fascist regime at the 14th of February! Show international solidarity before embassys, consulates or any other sorts of Hungarian state-sponsored facilities!
Down with Orbán’s fascist system!

In September 2025, a Hungarian government decree declared “anti-fascist gathering together” (sic!) to be “terrorist organization.” This means that anti-fascist activity is now prohibited in Hungary. They are not persecuting a specific organization or taking action against specific acts, but rather ordering the persecution of anti-fascism itself.
For now, the decree has resulted in the police banning half a dozen anti-fascist demonstrations. (police.hu assembly decisions.) On January 15, the MEASZ (Hungarian Organization of Resistance Fighters and Anti-Fascists) and the FIR (Fédération Internationale des Résistants) were also banned from holding a Holocaust memorial event, at which a Holocaust survivor, among others, would have given a speech.
The justification refers to “public order,” which they claim is threatened by “supporters of the antifa ideology.” The message is clear: anyone who does not want fascist rule is a threat to public order.
In February 2023, several nazis, mainly foreigners who had come to Budapest for international nazi events, were attacked. The case against those suspected of the attacks was turned into a political trial aimed at criminalizing anti-fascism. A show trial is currently taking place in Budapest. The defendant, Maja T., has been held in solitary confinement for a year and a half and tortured with psychological methods. The presiding judge and the police consider the participation of Maja’s friends and relatives in the trial to be an aggravating circumstance.
Since December, solidarity demonstrations in front of the court have been banned, but fascists are free to demonstrate in the same place. This clearly shows who benefits from the anti-fascism decree: the fascists.
Neo-nazi organizations have been operating openly in hungary since the transition. Although some of their demonstrations are occasionally banned, they still hold dozens of public events every year. Street demonstrations, memorial tours, protests, nazi concerts, martial arts galas…
And accompanying this: there have already been several fatalities as a result of nazi attacks, and the number of people attacked and injured by nazis can be estimated at several hundred or even several thousand.
One of the police prohibitions cites as a negative example that the anti-fascist demonstration against the international nazi meetings in February became the largest event of its kind. The so-called “day of honour” nazi event has been held for almost three decades. It was banned several times in the past, which is why they started organizing a “memorial tour,” which has now become the “sortie tour,” attracting thousands of people. The tour pays tribute to nazi “heroes” and attracts a significant number of foreign participants. All hungarian nazi groups are represented on the tour. The international nazi demonstration in February has been officially banned since 2022, mainly because of the anti-fascist counter-demonstration, which has now been condemned by the police, but it always takes place. They hold a “press conference,” demonstrate at Normafa, stage a flash mob at Heroes’ Square, and in 2025, they organized a nazi rally at the headquarters of the World Federation of Hungarians.
The police is simply carrying out what the government expects of them.
What is the government’s goal? What could be the purpose of a decree banning anti-fascism? To support fascism. The authoritarian regime employs countless elements of fascism. In addition to dismantling the rule of law, suppressing political opposition, controlling the media, and bringing institutions into line, state propaganda also contains explicitly nazi elements. Inciting hatred—against refugees, opponents, and minorities—is the government’s main message. There are more than a few nazi sympathizers among those shaping memory politics. The official position denies the hungarian state’s role in the Holocaust. Poverty is ethnicized and treated as a “gypsy problem.” Social darwinism – “everyone is worth what they have” – is the social policy of fascism. Government officials and leading politicians openly pose with well-known nazis. They have built loyal nazi satellite parties.
The government’s anti-anti-fascism stems from the general political climate. This is how Orbán is trying to score points with trump and set an example for European governments. At the same time, the anti-anti-fascist, i.e., fascist decree also shows that his regime is becoming increasingly uninhibited, especially because he feels his power slipping away as the April elections approach.
In fact, it is irrelevant what motivates the regime. What matters is that the government is attacking anti-fascism and thus strengthening fascism.
“If you want to know what you would have done in the 1930s, during the nazi era, then look at what you are doing now.”

https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=27564 #antifa #antifascism #europe #hungary #repressionAt this point, I must sincerely and publicly apologize to Mr. Daniel Micay and the entire GrapheneOS team! In my rant about US products and US services and as part of my boycott of these services due to the new fascism in the US under Trump, I mistakenly referred to them as American or an American project – which, according to a clarification from the GrapheneOS team, is absolute nonsense! I would like to thank GrapheneOS for clearing up my misconception!
It was absolutely not my intention to spread false information or defame anyone for their great work – many years ago, when I first started working with CopperheadOS and then GrapheneOS, I read somewhere that Mr. Micay and the project were from the US. Unfortunately, after all these years, I can no longer trace this source.
So there was no malicious intent behind this claim, it was simply the passing on of false information in good faith. I would like to apologize once again to everyone affected!
But thankfully, other users were better informed than I was and also brought this to my attention.

Considering that under Trump, the US is turning into a fascist terror state where opponents of the orange leader are simply shot dead on the street by his private Gestapo, ICE, or persecuted by his terror justice system, I am considering completely disposing of all US hardware and services that I still use to some extent.
In addition to Linux and Pixel with GrapheneOS, I unfortunately still use a few Apple devices such as MacBook Air, iPhone, Watch, and iPad Mini, and of course I also have a Google and Amazon account for some services. And it is precisely these that now need to be carefully deleted or replaced.
This includes the Pixel with GrapheneOS, both of which come from the US, and there's no telling what else the GrapheneOS team will be forced to do by this criminal government. Under fascism, there is no freedom, no privacy!
In the end, all that's left is an old dumb phone from Nokia. Apple, Amazon, and Google must go completely, and they can be replaced. It's purely for convenience that I haven't completely eliminated them yet. The planned Framework laptop is also canceled. Fedora/RHEL must be replaced by European Linux solutions. Signal, as a US service, also falls under the Cloud Act and is no longer acceptable.
I have a lot of planning and work ahead of me now...

Google has filed a USPTO patent for a “removable battery subassembly” in a grounded metal frame instead of glue, aiming to keep thin, sealed phones easier and safer to repair. 🔋
This could support EU-style right-to-repair rules and cut e‑waste, but there’s no guarantee it will ship in future Pixels. ⚖️

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the World Economic Forum in Davos:
We have entered a time of great power politics.
The international order of the past three decades, anchored — however imperfectly — in international law, has been shaken to its very foundations. This new world of great powers is being built on power, on strength, and ultimately on force.
It is not a cozy place. But we do not have to accept it as fate. We are not at the mercy of this “new world order.” We have a choice. We can shape the future.
To succeed, we must face harsh realities and chart our course with clear-eyed realism.
As Mark Carney said in this hall two days ago, we must no longer rely solely on the power of our values. We must also recognize the value of our power. — I share that view.
We must invest massively in our ability to defend ourselves. We are doing this.
We must never forget one thing: a world in which only power counts is a dangerous place — first for small states, then for middle powers, and ultimately for the great ones.
I do not say this lightly. In the twentieth century, my own country, Germany, went down this path to its bitter end and pulled the world into an abyss.
In recent days, the United States administration has argued for a greater role in Greenland, stating that this is necessary to counter security threats in the High North.
We welcome the fact that the United States is taking the threat posed by Russia in the Arctic seriously.
This threat itself is a clear expression of renewed great-power rivalry.
We will protect Denmark and Greenland from the threat posed by Russia.
We should not give up on NATO.
Democracies do not have subordinates; they have allies — trusted partners and friends.
We are entering a new era of great-power politics. We are already in the midst of it.
The winds are harsh, and we all feel the threats they carry. But we have to be very clear: We are not subordinate to this world; we can form it.
Dictators might have subordinates; we rely on partners and reliable friends. That principle will guide our work, and we will ensure it is not forgotten.
Both Germany and Europe have wasted incredible potential for growth in recent years by dragging their feet on reforms and by unnecessarily and excessively curtailing entrepreneurial freedom and personal responsibility.
We must substantially reduce bureaucracy in Europe. The single market was once created to form the most competitive economic area in the world.
Instead, we have become the world champion of overregulation. That has to end.
The world around us is changing at an unprecedented pace. The direction it is taking should concern us: a world of great-power rivalry is becoming the new reality.
Europe has understood this message — and Germany has as well. We will live up to these challenges.
The entire energy system has to be reformed, and we are on a way to do that, even though it’s not easy.
Nuclear power plants have been switched off. This is a final decision; we cannot recall that, but we have to address it.
New gas-powered plants will be in place.

A group of organizations in Europe has launched a new social media platform, W, as an alternative to X. "There is an urgent need for a new social media platform built, governed, and hosted in Europe. With human verification, free speech, and data privacy at its core," CEO Anna Zeiter said in a LinkedIn post announcing the venture. @PCMag has the details.
