The welfare state has been under pressure since the mid-1980s and the onset of neoliberal economic policies across Europe. Capital has used the current crisis to intensify this pressure further. In Southern Europe, this is often directly enforced through the Troika (European Union, European Central Bank, and International Monetary Fund) in exchange for bailout packages, but in other countries such as the UK too, drastic cuts are justified by reference to increasing national debt and the global financial crisis. Trade unions and civil society organizations have struggled hard to defend the welfare state, but it has been a defensive struggle all the way and many aspects have already been lost. Trade union rights have been curbed in many countries, key industries such as telecommunications and postal services privatized and core services such as health and education increasingly marketized. Full employment policies have been a thing of the past for quite some time. In this blog post, I will reflect on the nature and contents of the welfare state and the possibilities of defending its achievements. read full story / add a comment

Like the fading sun of the Summer, there is now little time left to enjoy the last days of Eurostasis we have been enveloped in of late. The relative calm that descended on the Eurocrisis, with the brief exception of the Cyrpus panic in March, is coming to an end with the German elections this coming Sunday. read full story / add a comment

Se sacrifica una vez más el bienestar del pueblo en aras de cumplir con el pago de una deuda ilegítima e inmoral que fue contraída por una política económica al servicio de los mismos que hoy nos pasan, con desvergüenza, la cuenta de la fiesta que se pegaron. read full story / add a comment

L'instabilità nel mondo cresce e la concorrenza tra nazioni, tra imprese transnazionali, tra flussi di moneta è sempre maggiore. Infatti questa instabilità economica diventa pressione sociale. La lotta di classe riappare sempre più spesso nel mondo dopo decenni da "vecchia talpa". read full story / add a comment

“The international community is so screwed up they’re letting Haitians run Haiti.” –Luigi R. Einaudi, US career diplomat, member of the Council on Foreign Relations and former Assistant Secretary General at the Organization of American States

Haitian author and human rights attorney Ezili Dantò heard Luigi R. Einaudi make this shocking comment in 2004, as Haiti was about to celebrate its 200 years of independence with its first democratically elected President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Apart from his efforts to raise the minimum wage and other social measures for the majority of Haitians living in extreme poverty, Aristide planned to nationalize his country’s resources, a move which meant more money for Haitians and less for multinationals. One month later, in the name of the “international community”, Aristide was overthrown in a coup d’état orchestrated by the U.S., France and Canada.

Today, the “international community” is running Haiti again, colonial style. read full story / add a comment

The Value of Radical Theory is a well-written, non-sectarian introduction to Marxism from an anarchist perspective. It highlights both the key differences between Marxism and anarchism and the potential for mutual learning. It engages with Marxism on the grounds of critical solidarity, which is the most promising start for any fruitful exchange. read full story / add a comment

Ante este panorama, CGT considera inaplazable una movilización sindical y social general, global, inclusiva, que defienda en la calle de una forma continuada, un cambio de rumbo en la política económica y social, con nuevos objetivos, una nueva partitura, unos nuevos intérpretes para una nueva sinfonía. read full story / add a comment

Création de la première globalisation qui a fait suite à la « découverte » de l’Amérique en 1492, soit 71 ans après le voyage de l’amiral chinois Zheng He (1) en 1421, Haïti constitue en même temps une rupture avec le mouvement de subjugation et de contrôle des peuples par l’Occident chrétien. De la route de la soie empruntée par Marco Polo en 1271 à celle des épices liant l’Europe, l’Afrique et l’Asie va succéder le commerce triangulaire reliant l’Europe, l’Afrique et l’Amérique. Pour des raisons sociohistoriques, Haïti n’a pas pu ouvrir ses frontières pour accueillir les Blancs au cours des 18e et 19e siècles, comme ce fut le cas avec les grandes migrations qui ont contribué au développement de pays tels que les Etats-Unis d’Amérique. Très tôt, des débats ont eu lieu au sein des élites haïtiennes sur l’octroi du droit de propriété aux Blancs. Le racisme anti-noir dominant à l’échelle mondiale place Haïti dès sa naissance dans un univers sans avenir. read full story / add a comment

El TLC entre Colombia y Estados Unidos fue puesto en vigencia el 15 de mayo de 2012. Ya en diciembre de 2007 las compañías más importantes de Estados Unidos entre ellas Microsoft, Coca Cola, General Motors y Wall-Mart, enviaron cartas al Congreso de ese país pidiendo aprobación al TLC 1 , con ello mostraban quienes realmente se verían beneficiados de dicho acuerdo. Durante la campaña presidencial de 2008 en Estados Unidos, el tema fue un punto de discusión, donde el Republicano John McCain manifestaba su total respaldo, y por el otro lado el entonces candidato Demócrata y actual Presidente Barack Obama, manifestaba que no le parecía conveniente mientras en Colombia persistan las violaciones a los Derechos Humanos de los Sindicalistas. read full story / add a comment

Ad ascoltare i “soloni” dell’economia politica, o almeno i presunti “esperti” del settore che fanno capo ad alcune scuole di pensiero assertrici del dogma della crescita del PIL “ad oltranza”, la crisi economica internazionale avrebbe risparmiato i paesi “in via di sviluppo” come il Brasile e in generale i cosiddetti BRICS (acronimo che indica Brasile, Russia, India, Cina e Sudafrica), descritti come economie nazionali in fase di ascesa produttiva, caratterizzate da una forte crescita del PIL e delle esportazioni commerciali. read full story / add a comment

Pelear por lo común, practicar lo cooperativo son, en definitiva, formas confluyentes de prefigurar y defender un nuevo tipo de sociedad que tenga a los seres humanos como su centro, y no a la acumulación sin fin de Capital a cualquier precio. Defender lo común, practicar lo colectivo. Producir y resistir, pues. read full story / add a comment

High levels of military spending played a key role in the unfolding European sovereign debt crisis — and continue to undermine efforts to resolve it.
A new report by the Transnational Institute — ‘Guns, Debt and Corruption: Military Spending and the EU Crisis’ — looks at the ways in which excessive militarization directly fed into the unfolding European debt crisis, and continues to undermine efforts to resolve it. Below the downlink links and infographic you can find the executive summary of the report. read full story / add a comment

The "Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Bill 2013", published by the government on Thursday last (23rd May), is a clear attempt to bully public sector workers into voting for the re-hashed terms of the Croke Park II deal emphatically rejected by them just a couple of weeks ago. read full story / add a comment
Tassa sulla casa: pagata in rosso, non pagato/non registrato in verde

A dispetto di una una lunga e pervicace campagna antipopolare condotta sull'imposizione di questa ingiusta e crudele tassa sulla casa, oltre 650.000 famiglie al 22 maggio 2013 non avevano ancora provveduto al pagamento della tassa. Né una legge draconiana né le minacce di multe hanno portato la gente a recarsi volontariamente agli uffici del catasto. [English] read full story / add a comment

Durante le ultime elezioni, il multi-milionario John Key, leader del National Party di centro-destra, aveva dichiarato che avrebbe privatizzato parte delle aziende di stato, se fosse stato rieletto. Il suo principale avversario - ancorché perdente - era il Labour Party, all'epoca guidato dal poco carismatico Phil Goff, che era stato uno degli architetti delle privatizzazioni degli anni '80. Il National Party ha ora deciso di procedere nella realizzazione di questa minaccia. Toccherebbe ora al gruppo Mighty River Power, una compagnia che produce energia, oltre ad altri gioiellini di stato messi in palio per il futuro. Quali saranno gli effetti di queste grandi privatizzazioni? Quali opzioni hanno i lavoratori in Aotearoa/Nuova Zelanda? [English] read full story / add a comment
