COMRADES OF LEFTYPOL, ERIK HOUDINI NEEDS YOUR SOLIDARITY
Houdini has been arrested.
https://gofund.me/826555a5f

He is in deep Florida country. Anons in Florida, please do what you can for him. Those who can make online payments, please help him.

Pasting the message from his comrades:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
TL;DR Our friend Erik is in jail for allegedly trolling a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, and we’re putting together a bail fund for him. If we don't get him out in 10 days or locate a foster the local animal shelter may put down his dog.



Hey everyone. We do not come here lightly and it is with a heavy heart that we come to you and ask for monetary assistance. Not for ourselves but for a dear friend of ours who was arrested Tuesday February 24th 2026 by the police.

Sometime in November of 2025, not long after the Kirk assassination, our friend allegedly got into a conflict on Instagram with a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, when she visited their city. In this conflict he allegedly referenced Kirk's assassination and that was enough for her to take these as threats on her life and call the police on him and an investigation was conducted where they allegedly found evidence of plans to harass Bennet next time she visits their City.

He never threatened to hurt or kill her, but they live in one of the most conservative areas in the the country where stochastic terrorists like Bennet can get away with whatever and sic the police on political dissidents.

We spoke with the detective handling his case and he informed me that the state is only seeking probation for him, but as many of you know we live in a tiered justice system and the first hurdle in that justice system is bail bonds. Despite the state not seeing him as dangerous and not seeking to put him in prison or charge him with a felony they set his bail to $20K with his first court date being March 31st.

We will have to go the bail bondsman route which means we need $2k to pay the bail bondsman and get him out of jail. Or somehow raise the full $20k. Past this our friend will need assistance with court fees, lawyer fees, living and eating expenses, and more.

My friend Erik has been experiencing housing instability for over 8 months now living out of a motel in the area. He just landed a full time position 2 weeks ago and was finally going to see some stability in his life which makes the timing of all this incredibly tragic. The sooner we get him out of jail and back to his job the less disruptive this will be to his life.

His dog Jax was also taken to a local animal Shelter by the police and he has 10 days to claim him and if he does not claim Jax then Jax might be put down. Suffice to say he cannot claim Jax while in jail.

Please donate whatever you can time is of the essence here.



Please see an excerpt below of Erik's project Houdini Magazine, where you may famously know him from:

"HOUDINI magazine is the brainchild of Erik Houdini and a faceless army of working class—writers, artists, musicians, researchers, scientists, producers, first responders, film makers, journalists, clerks, taggers, goths, 'reformed' felons, juggalos, janitors, freaks, radicals, truckers, addicts, activists, schemers, plotters, connivers, psychonauts, conspirators, swashbucklers, dastardly dudes, femme fatales, them fatales— and whoever else decided that today was the day we start giving a shit about each other.

Well over half a million total visitors. The big dogs of the underground. HOUDINI exists to reclaim counterculture from the branded dead. Anti-corpo, broke as fuck, grindset bros who read Marx. Hustlers who respect their own, living theory without reading it, tired of being ground into soylent by the powers that be. Chaos magicians who dog-ear Kropotkin. Real, human, DIY, underground counterculture.

We believe a true counterculture, should it be forged, must be anti-capitalist. It must be anti-algorithmic. We must break through the prison walls of capital's psychic warfare on our souls and into a new era.

Remember: No doomers. Uplift. Struggle."

I noticed the same style of cointelpro in this thread, occurring in my threads. There's a lot of agents and analysts here, possibly more so than honest users during certain hours and people like Houdini and I are likely on future kill lists; so they tend to wage cointelpro against us in the meanwhile to attempt to thwart our efforts by making our lives hell. I've experienced this for so long. Maoanon is another you can see the agents here target. We must remain vigilant, and fight until the end, even when they push us into a corner, even if they have us dead to rights, we must live in such a way to the final moments that our names invoke fear into the hearts of the reactionary, even from the grave.

>>2706698
Maybe if you stopped namefagging and tripfagging we would stop targeting you

>>2706706

Every plan of repression you have, will result in great consequence when acted upon and we will consistently battle your psychological tactics with ease. Soon my tripfag will disappear and I'll be operating in realms you cant touch or conceive.

>>2706608
I have a strong dislike for fuckers that are like "if you beg you cant use your money how you want"
fuck off man, poor people are allowed to treat themselves and choose their priorities to get what make them happy

>>2706608
and "a place to stay" isnt a home you cunt

>>2706711
Did you seriously believe I was a real fed?

>>2706726

I thought we were role playing? Why break the character shaking my head.

>>2706685
>doxxing yourself on a site where you have been constantly saying edgy compromising shit while namefagging and tripfagging
uygha seriously for you own safety you have to stop. Now. You're just digging yourself deeper into the hole with this wannabe influencer bullshit.

Sorry i might be autistic >_>

>>2705619
dunno why anons here are so shitty to Houdini. Sure he's always begging for money but he's also an actual Marxist and engages in actual praxis despite being homeless. I always liked him.

Free Houdini

>>2706295
>If he ate less he would have to e-beg less
Could have out-ran the cops too..

free at least free at last my uygha erik houdini is free at last

>>2706781
>he's also an actual Marxist and engages in actual praxis
Bro you're setting the bar so low the cast of Willow couldn't do the limbo.
That said I feel bad for the guy. His heart is generally in the right place but his burgerbrain ego and lack of self awareness is a bottomless pit of cringe and fail. Dude needs to settle down with the compulsive self promotion and read more theory.

>>2706811
I'm generally of the opinion that I'd rather someone have their heart in the right place and an unrelenting desire to do good than for them to bury themselves in theory and just talk down to others about how they're wrong.

If you think Houdini's praxis sucks do your own and lead by example, basically.

Not that theory isn't useful but it should be thought of as advice for applying in real life activism to maximize your chances of success, not dogma to mold your life around and you suck if you don't adhere to it completely.

>>2706819
>If you think Houdini's praxis sucks do your own and lead by example, basically.
I do. A lot. But I'm careful to never mention the projects and groups I'm involved with on this low-effort shitposting forum. It would be bad optics to publicly associate with this place. Surely there are many such cases.

>>2706828
Indeed, on one hand I respect Houdini for being open and transparent about his life and his politics. But on the other I would never in a million years want to be in a group with him because he is likely already under surveillance by like 10 different glowie orgs, doubly so after this arrest.

>>2706564
>why don't the dumb poors just eat less?
lmao

>>2706801
Damn I wanted to eat that dog.

>>2705619
>Houdini now has more street cred than anyone on this site

figured something happened when he wasn't here posting and asking for money. i take this as vindication that sometimes "doing something" is actively counter productive to the point you get yourself captured by the state for absolutely no tangible purpose. turns out you should actually put some thought into what you are doing and not just do it because you have the opportunity and a have baked moralistic inclination to do so.

>>2706851
actually him getting arrested for making fun of a nazi means he's cooler than you will ever be.

>>2706853
coolest man around, for sure. cool people are the revolutionary subject of history.

>cool people are the revolutionary subject of history.
yes

>>2706858
che was never caught by security forces like a dumbass until he'd already been an instrumental leader in multiple successful national liberation movements. the cool factor is largely irrelevant to the point.

We ARE Erik Houdini. We carry the flame.

Can we donate glp1s and an electric razor?

Isn't it funny how so many "real" communists here do apologism and cheer for the tyrany of Capital as long as the victim doesn't share their "scientific" methods of struggle or dares to deviate from their orthodoxia? All of this has its roots in our good ol' Marx saying shit like imperialism is "progressive" 150 years ago, its literally the same brainrot. Where are we currently progressing towards, Karl? The planet literally can't handle any more of your "progress" and the revolution is nowhere in sight. Fat fuck had brains but really needed to shut his mouth sometimes smh…
I'm glad Houdini is free and will be reunited with his dog Jax. Haters gonna hate!

>>2706883
all i said was dude is a dumbass, the result of doing dangerous work while being a dumbass is evident in this thread for all to see, and that people should smarten up and figure out about what it would even mean to practically oppose contemporary bourgeois society without effectively neutralizing oneself. none of these considerations were made by our dear friend erik. in fact he argued against considering them much as you do on the basis that to do so is arm chair purity politics. has nothing to do with being happy he's been captured. has everything to do with my sincere wish that those with the inclination to act would take responsibility, and that those willing to take responsibility might start to act.

>>2706883
Nothing to do with 'dogma' or 'science'. It's just yank animals being yank animals.

>>2706218
I would kill your cat to extend my lifespan 3 hours. Problem?


>>2706898
>if you shit on a rightoid bitch and cops arrest you for it its your fault
fuck off retard

>>2706937
>Too retarded to practice basic opsec
>Get arrested for being retarded on the internet
<Um akshually you're the retard fascist if you don't support this blob
Lol! Go donate some more money for his doordash and bail if you want to make yourself better.

>>2706937
you're taking this guy's word at face value when he is not a reputable character whatsoever

Very telling that dishonourable lumpen-mongrels peddle the idea that only first world wypipo love dogs.
Dogs are loved universally by Men.
Only backward mongrels mock the love that Men have for dogs.

>>2706846
Being fat is unhealthy, he shouls eat less even if he had all the money in the world
>>2706840
>I respect Houdini for being open and transparent about his life and his politics.
Why? Where has this stupidity led him? What is respectable about bad OpSec/stupidity?
stupidity ≠ bravery
>>2706781
He is annoying

>>2706975
>unhealthy
The only thing thats unhealthy here are your attemps to make life under the rule of Capital more "rational", efficient and overall marketable. But calling it "unhealthy" might be too dramatic: is just cucked (at least from my point of view). If you want to be more healthy for the shareholders I say suit yourself! Just don't ask me or Erik "fatty" Houdini to do the same. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

>>2707055
>If you want to be more healthy for the shareholders
What about being healthy so you get to live socialism or at least watch the empire and not die before because of a heart attack?

THE DOG. THING ABOUT THEM DOG. DON'T THING ABOUT THE PRICE OF MAINTAINING THE EMPIRE.

FOCUS ON THE DOGGO!

…so…. since he's been arrested, is there a fucking jail photo or something?

just fucking google the county and all

you fags even know his name

just post the pic, ffs

>free erik houdini
I'll take null.

>>2706949
>you have to shut up in public and only do shit in the shadows
thats not how you build a mass political movement

>>2706950
he literally posted the court orders links

>>2707166
>thats not how you build a mass political movement
getting v& because you couldn't resist using a personal instagram account to publicly broadcast your opposition to the violent police state which you are constantly reminding us you live under does not build anything except cases and rap sheets.

>>2707166
>thats not how you build a mass political movement
How does e-beef with a random reactionary constitute building a mass political movement?

I have a feeling that his lawyer or similar instructed him to add that

>>2707319
We told him months ago to jump to the west coast but states with human rights are too expensive.

>>2706861

You invoke Che as if he operated within conditions transferable to our present condition, as if the technological and repressive apparatus of the mid-twentieth century Cuban insurrection bears any resemblance to the high-tech GWOT reality we now inhabit. Che lived in a different era, under a state formation of a less modern shape. We exist beneath the total information awareness of contemporary counterinsurgency, where the resources once mobilized against Islamic radicals are now being applied with equal vigor to what the state designates "racial extremist left." The surveillance architecture, the fusion centers, the algorithmic monitoring of digital communication, the predictive policing of dissent, the high level military spy capabilities, these are not the conditions under which Guevara organized.

Moreover, your fixation upon one man obscures the broader historical truths of the lives of real leftists. Revolutionary communists and anarchists from the old days traveled the world as revolutionary missionaries, they were constantly banished, deported, imprisoned across multiple jurisdictions for offenses that today appear almost trivial. A French socialist arrested for insulting public morals. Another for stealing bread for comrades. Thousands of such figures populate the archives of revolutionary history, in and out of dungeons from Buenos Aires to Berlin, from Algiers to Shanghai.

if you would read beyond the iconic photographs and stop fetishizing the more well known personalities, you would recognize that the revolutionary life has always entailed carceral circulation. The dungeon is not a mark of failure or inauthenticity. It is the predictable response of the repressive state apparatus. Your petty criminal charges, your deportees, your repeatedly imprisoned agitator, these are not deviations from the revolutionary tradition. They are it's historic norm.

Consider the Obama Department of Justice's SWAT raids upon over forty anarchist squats in the Pacific Northwest, a coordinated assault upon autonomous infrastructure that preceded the Trumpist fixation upon "antifa" by several years. One must ask whether Trump's DHS's obsessive cartography of that region did not derive directly from the intelligence, evidence, and maps compiled during the Obama era. The repressive state apparatus does not shift with electoral cycles; it accumulates over years. Or consider the vigor with which federal agents investigate so-called "riots" a term the state applies to any unauthorized collective action. The FBI has demonstrated its capacity to kick down doors for attacks upon fascists committed four years prior to arrest. Four years. This presumes either a four-year active investigation or the continuous review of closed cases, the maintenance of files, the patience of institutions that measure time differently than the individual militant. And this occurred well before Trump, well before the current moment of visible crisis.The continuity is the point. The state does not require dramatic fascist rupture to target revolutionaries. It operates through the mundane administrative violence of the liberal order, the warrant, the indictment, the prison term, while the professional left maintains its illusions of constitutional protection and has no eyes or knowledge of these cases.
