Anti-Fascism Has Been Banned in Hungary

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.”

Fascist US ICE Agents Publicly Execute Man in Minneapolis for Filming Them

A man has been summarily executred by US federal immigration officers in Minneapolis during ongoing enforcement operations sparking protests and renewed calls from local leaders to end the federal deployment.

The incident occurred around 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue Saturday morning as federal agents, part of a broader immigration crackdown known as Operation Metro Surge, confronted a man on a snow-covered street. Video circulating on social media shows people wearing masks and tactical gear wrestling with the man before multiple gunshots are heard, and he falls to the ground.

The Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said the man was shot by a federal agent and later died at a hospital.

Nothing illegal, suspicious

Other videos showing the beginning of the confrontation demonstrate that the man was standing by, recording the ICE agents in the middle of what is presumed to be an arrest, and he did not appear to be doing anything unusual.

An ICE agent came up to the man and started shoving him before the remaining agents joined in and started brutally assaulting the man, kicking him as he fell on the ground, before at least two agents pulled out their handguns and fired over six shots at the victim.

Armed victim?

There were claims that the victim was armed, though there is no evidence that he pulled out his gun or pointed it toward any of the officers. There was a brawl in which the man was repeatedly pepper-sprayed, and even then, the squad, upwards of six agents, did not successfully subdue him, pointing to inefficient training.

The footage shared widely online and aired on cable TV shows agents grappling with the man in the snow before gunfire begins. Shortly after shots are heard, the individual falls to the ground. Another angle in a video obtained by Drop Site News shows that the man was instigated and illegally approached by the ICE agents before he was shot and killed.

In the videos, one agent says, “he’s got a gun,” but the footage shows that the gun was on the victim’s waistband and was not drawn. Only one agent saw the gun as the man was being assaulted, then the man was shot several times by several agents, even after he died.

Anarchist Prisoner Casey Brezik Released

After 15 years in prison, anarchist political prisoner Casey Brezik has come home!

He is adjusting well, and psyched about life, but needs help to get started.

Living expenses and basic needs can be difficult to meet without a job, connections and experience moving through this technology-driven, end-stage-capitalist reality.

Anything you give will help ease the labor and anxiety that anyone would be dealing with after nearly two decades in a highly-controlled, hyperviolent carceral system.

Donate at $caseybrezik on cashapp.

Casey is an anarchist from the Kansas City area who was charged with slashing the throat of the Dean of Metropolitan Community College-Penn Valley. This occurred when the Governor of Missouri, Jay Nixon, was scheduled to give a talk at the college. In February 2011, the state declared him to be incapable of standing trial, which means he was forced to stay locked up in a mental institution pre-trial until June of 2013. He was sentenced to 12 years on each of three counts – assault, and two armed criminal action charges – and seven years on a second count of assault.

US Regime Intends to Execute Pro Palestinian Revolutionary Elias Rodriguez

The Attorney General for the US criminal regime, Pam Bondi, opened a Friday address to the Zionist-American Council (IAC) National Summit by recalling the May 2025 revolutionary action assassinating two Zionist, genocidal employees in Washington DC.

The action was notable for its militancy and it represented a rare instance where the genocidal countries — the settler-colonial US regime and its client the Zionist colony — received a small dose of the violence it unleashed on Palestine and the rest of the colonized world.

Bondi told the audience that federal prosecutors are pursuing capital punishment in the case, framing the action as “anti-semetic.”

The US regime and its puppet Zionist state use this framing to hide their genocidal behavior and to attempt to distort the reality of the situation from their own publics perception.

Genocidal states and those complicit in their crimes are judged harshly by history, and often judged worse when they perpetrate the actions.

Rodriguez has not be convicted and may likely be innocent of the accusation, but the two states making the accusation have no place to judge anyone.
