Seattle Anarchists Create Autonomous Zone to Battle Racism, Police Brutality Then Practice Racism and Police Brutality

Headlines Health Politics U.S.


Far-left anarchists have created a 6-block autonomous zone in downtown Seattle, WA. The area has been dubbed the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone or CHAZ, for short.

The area was purportedly created so that the anarchists and ANTIFA crowd could teach the rest of us barbaric people how to create a just, equitable society where practices such as racism and police brutality would be left far, far behind.

It hasn’t quite worked out that way. Within the first several days of the founding of CHAZ, residents have been ordered to pay what amounts to a “race tax.” This is done, they say, to prove loyalty to the “struggle.”

“By the time you leave this autonomous zone I want you to give $10 to one African-American person from this autonomous zone. And if you find that’s difficult…you have to think really critically about in the future, are you gonna actually give up power and land and capital when you have it,” the speaker says.

“If you have a hard time giving out $10 you gotta think about, are you really down with this struggle? If that is a challenge for you, then I’m unsure if you’re in the right place.”

In other words, if they believe that people should be treated equally regardless of race or past action, then perhaps CHAZ isn’t the place for you after all.

In other developments, the declared leader of CHAZ, local Seattle rapper Raz Simone, is seen confronting a man for graffiti-ing on a wall.

The confrontation results in CHAZ security forces stealing the man’s phone, breaking his glasses and reportedly assaulting him by kicking him in the head, all without due process.

“We are the police of this community here now,” the group says before the assault.

“For your own safety, you need to go,” and “You might need a little love tap” Raz says to the man before seeming to assault him.

“You just broke my glasses! I’m blind! You just broke my glasses and stole my phone!” the man says. “Yeah, we should have broken your face,” he’s told in response.

The man is then ordered to relinquish his cell phone as a tribute to Raz or else be punished with more violence.

“Don’t be making no threats … I’ll blow your brains out,” Raz says.

It’s unclear whether the man was afforded due process or whether he was given a court date in which he could appear before a judge and defend himself.
