A-INFOS-ORG
The A-Infos news
lists are democratically self-managed by an international
organizational collective. Here's how to participate.
We especially encourage women, non-english speaking people, and those
living outside of Europe and America. Here is a list of our current
policies.
A-INFOS
VISION
The A-Infos Project is coordinated by an international
collective of revolutionary anti-authoritarian,
anti-capitalist activists, involved with class
struggle and who regard it as a total social struggle.
These are people who conceive themselves as
revolutionary class struggle social anarchists,
anarcho-communists, libertarian communists, syndicalists
and others who hold similar opinions but use other labels.
A-Infos is organized by people who feel anarchism is a
social theory, and that a revolution is necessary to
bring about the new class-less social order, and that
this revolution can only be made by the vast majority
of the working people.
The specific kind of anarchism we talk about and
promote is the anarchism of the Haymarket martyrs and
those expelled by Karl Marx from the First
International for criticizing his authoritarianism and
the elitist, vanguardist degradation of the masses of
the working class...
We do not support the kind of anarchism proposed by some
pseudo-modernists and pseudo-"revolutionaries" who
regard symbolic activity as substitute to mass
struggle, or the kind of anarchism of "humanists" who hold
other tasks as equal or more important than the
revolutionary struggle for abolishing the capitalist
system.
A-Infos work is not inspired by egoistic and
egocentric individualism, primitivism, "free
capitalism without a state" or even a state without
free capitalism - who oppose the present capitalist
order but do not offer instead a viable model of modern
social order of freedom, equality, and solidarity.
It is not enough for individuals and groups to use an
anarchist label for their texts to be distributed by
A-Infos.
In the struggle for a free society, we distribute news
and articles in several languages, covering a wide
range of areas of struggle. These include workplace
and environmental struggles as well as the fight
against racism, sexism and homophobia. A-Infos also
distributes news on indigenous peoples
anti-colonialist fight against settlers, occupation
and marginalization, as well as anti-nationalist and
anti-regional separatist struggles, because workers
have no country but the world as a whole....
A-Infos is specialized press agency, in the service
(as we see it best) of the movement of revolutionary
anti-capitalist activists who are involved in the
various social struggles against the capitalist class
and its social system.
A-Infos is not an open "liberal" service that
distributes anything "we" are sympathetic to -- it is
not Indymedia. It is first of all a free distribution
tool for information from and about collectives of
anarchist (and other anti authoritarian
revolutionaries) involved in the struggle.
A-Infos workers do not think we are the ones who
should decide who, on the social anarchist camp, is a
"real" anarchist or not. However, as resources are
limited, we have the right and duty to (autonomously)
choose what we distribute what we feel is best among
the contributions and contributors. The freedom of
association the A-Infos collective is based on means
nothing without the freedom not to associate, if
workers so choose.
A-Infos has a role to play in the world anarchist
movement. Information is strength. A-Infos helps to
build a sense of an international movement. A-Infos
is, to a certain extent, one of the few international
organizational tools of the movement. But to keep this
role it must stay a tool in the service of the
movement and not a free-for-all information service.
A-Infos is not just an internal movement tool. Like
the Anarchist FAQ, it's also a means to present the
movement to the wider audience and to a new
generation, and acquaint them with international
aspects of the movement.
A-Infos is an autonomous anarchist press agency that
is not the bullhorn of any "social" movement. Even
when self-proclaimed anarchists (or even if real ones)
are involved is not a guarantee A-Infos will
distribute contributions. Even if we ourselves
sympathize with given movements is no guarantee
articles will be posted.
Thus, A-Infos distributes the news and analysis its
workers want to share with the world non-authoritarian
activists community -- mainly posts from
anti-authoritarian revolutionary collectives and
reports about direct action of social struggle
both of activists and of common people in their daily life.
Anyone who is not satisfied with the services we
provide, is welcome to use other services or build
her/his own.
A-infos is both an organizational tool, a propaganda tool, and an
information tool of the movement -- and is not merely "news
by, about and of interest to anarchists."

At a time when anti "marriage for all" believe that society will collapse because a law
authorizing has been passed, it may instead regret the lack of radical social movements
present progressive. Indeed, among both feminists and anarchists, it was rather old to
abolish marriage. ---- The anarchist Joseph DÃjacque, a supporter of women's emancipation,
advocated the abolition of the contract. The contractual form seemed contrary to both its
communist and feminist ideals. He writes, for example, in a utopia he HumanisphÃre
entitled: "Men and women have sex when they please, as they please, and they like. Full
freedom of both sides. No agreement or legal contract between them. The attraction is
their only channel, pleasure their only rule.

reproduce below a note from the Trade Union Commission CESP / CGTP-IN, the company Day /
Minipreço on the boycott campaign initiated against the supermarket chain following the
forcible transfer of four workers for taking part in the last general strike on 27 June.
As a simple matter of class solidarity, without which the workers' struggle is invariably
doomed to isolation and defeat, we are perfectly indifferent to the charge of terms
nothing to do with the group's employees or their representatives . It is important that
situations like Minipreço begin to be the target of a forceful response by the workers,
not just those directly involved, but for everyone.

Before the Labour Court Potsdam yesterday agreed a member of the FAU Berlin with the
former "trainers" in an orderly settlement of 2,750 euros as compensation for the
unreasonably low wages with which the employees had been fobbed off for months. "At the
quite high sum becomes clear how much the contractor had pulled the trainees on the
table," explains Andreas Foerster, spokesman for the FAUB campaign. ---- The salary issue
was only one of the grievances, to eliminate the basis of the union FAU had set out on the
organic farm "Teltow turnips." After inconclusive talks had the unionists in the last
quarter of 2012, a campaign under the slogan "For training instead of exploitation! -

Because the states and companies, who create and guard the borders are our natural enemies
in the ongoing struggle for freedom. ---- Because the intrusive smear against the several
migrants fits within the international tactics of repression by the governments and
semi-governmental organizations, to expand and intensify their power positions. ----
Because we think it is important to be visible in the streets as anarchists, and to keep
on executing the concept of demonstrations which is under continuous attack by the
authorities. ---- Because we are in solidarity with the hunger strikers and the people in
the several refugee camps and buildings.--- Because no one is legal or illegal.---Because
anarchy knows no bosses and politicians, but also no legal statuses, racism, human rights
or prisons. These are all definitions and practices of the existing system of oppression

Fall 2013 will be there "hot" in Italy? This is certainly what they want and expect a
number of movements, collectives, activist networks - guidance and political references
also very diverse - whose main common to oppose capital policies austerity, poverty,
dispossession and looting. As with other common, the use of direct action if necessary,
unscrupulousness out nails legality in control practices, whether in the pickets,
occupations of buildings, blockages site and sabotage. ---- We publish below the statement
from the two days of meetings and discussions as meeting held at NoTav camping Venaus 20
and 21 July 2013 between the main movement against high speed and movement on the right to
housing and occupancy of homes and places to live in the city, to "live in the crisis".
