The United Front tactic – aimed at uniting masses of workers in action and winning Communist leadership for the working class – was adopted as policy by the Communist International (Comintern) in 1921 and will be discussed later in this series. However, there are important examples of working class unity in action which predate Comintern policy and bear relevance to the united fronts discussion. One often-cited example is the united front to defend the gains of the February Revolution from a military coup in Russia in 1917, which will be discussed in the next article in this series. Before looking at this, however, there is another example of proletarian unity in action – that didn’t seek to win Communist leadership – which warrants attention; that of a revolutionary worker-peasant alliance. This conception of united front action found expression in Italy’s anti-militarist “red blocs” and it is to these that we now turn. • Part 1: NUMSA and the ‘United Front Against Neoliberalism’ ... read full story / add a comment

The resolution adopted by the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) to form a ‘United Front against neoliberalism’ – as well as its decision not to endorse the ANC in the elections – represents an interesting development in the political landscape, one which activists should look at carefully and engage. Due to the language used by the media, the Left, NUMSA’s critics and even NUMSA itself much confusion surrounds the debate – leaving many questions: Is the ‘United Front’ an organisation or attempt to build a new labour federation or political party? Is it an attempt to revive the 1980s United Democratic Front (UDF)? Why NUMSA’s sudden interest in community struggles? This series, of which this article is the first, aims to clarify these and other questions by looking at the proposal and history of united fronts locally and internationally to clarify key issues and draw lessons that activists can use when engaging the pros and cons of NUMSA’s United Front proposal and if and how they think it should be developed. • Part 2: Anti-militarist United Fronts and Italy’s “Red week”, 1914 ... read full story / add a comment

Ciò che leggerete di seguito è l'esperienza della mia visita di un paio di settimane nel maggio di quest'anno, 2014, nel Nord Est della Siria o Kurdistan siriano (Ovest del Kurdistan) con un mio caro amico. Durante la visita abbiamo avuto piena libertà e l'opportunità di vedere e di parlare con chiunque. Incluse donne, uomini, giovani e partiti politici. Ci sono più di 20 partiti dai curdi ai cristiani, alcuni sono nell'Auto Amministrazione Democratica (DSA) o Autogestione Democratica (DSM) della regione di Al-Jazera. Al-Jazera è una delle tre regioni (cantoni) del Kurdistan dell'Ovest. Abbiamo incontrato anche i partiti politici curdi e cristiani che non fanno parte della DSA o della DSM. Inoltre abbiamo incontrato i vertici della DSM, membri di diversi comitati, gruppi locali e comuni così come uomini d'affari, negozianti, lavoratori, persone al mercato e gente che semplicemente camminava per strada.

Quando alcuni mesi fa scrivemmo "Preparativi di guerra in Ucraina e Russia: realtà o show?" intendendo dire che stavano maturando le condizioni per un nuova guerra, molti compagni espressero dubbi o anche disaccordo verso un comunicato così categorico. Ora possiamo dire che il conflitto in Ucraina è chiaramente passato dalla fase "fredda" a quella "calda" e che ciò di cui siamo testimoni nell'est del paese è proprio guerra in tutti i sensi.

Il peggio è ormai passato. È una frase che sento ripetere dall’autunno del 2007, qualche mese dopo l’estate in cui la caduta delle quotazioni azionarie di Wall Street segnava la fine della bolla immobiliare americana e l’inizio della peggiore crisi economica dopo quella degli anni ’30 del secolo scorso. Davvero c’è una luce in fondo al tunnel? Per formarsi un’opinione motivata, è opportuno comprendere le diverse dinamiche che caratterizzano i mercati finanziari e il sistema produttivo. ... read full story / add a comment

Bruno Lima Rocha, 28 de agosto de 2014 No meio da corrida eleitoral de 1º turno, onde a 7ª economia do mundo vai decidir seu destino consultando a vontade e desinformação da 79ª sociedade mundial em índice de IDH, é preciso fazer uma série de reflexões. Para tal, precisamos ir além da denúncia do esvaziamento da democracia em sua versão liberal e indireta. Entendo que vivemos um problema estruturante, que tem relação direta com dois fenômenos. O primeiro passa pela individualização do cotidiano, com tarefas que se multiplicam e tempos esgotados. O capitalismo em sua era informacional não dá tempo hábil para a vida coletiva e menos ainda para as experiências políticas massivas. Quando isto ocorre, temos uma “crise”, como em junho de 2013. Saudável “crise” por sinal. ... read full story / add a comment

Bruno Lima Rocha* En este texto compilo los análisis que publiqué en las redes sociales que a su vez son una compilación de entrevistas y participaciones en los medios comerciales brasileros que vengo realizando luego del anuncio del desastre aéreo y el consecuente fallecimiento de Eduardo Campos, ex gobernador del Estado de Pernambuco y candidato a presidente por el Partido Socialista Brasilero hasta el suceso que además hizo víctimas a su comitiva y a la tripulación de la aeronave. El accidente ocurrió en la ciudad de Santos, litoral del Estado de San Pablo el 13 de agosto de 2014. Nadie esperaba nada parecido. Su candidata a vicepresidente, Marina Silva es neopentecostal y ex ministra de Medio Ambiente de Lula. Dejó el gobierno en 2010 y en las elecciones presidenciales de ese año se enfrentó a Dilma Rousseff y alcanzó la tercera posición con más de veinte millones de votos. Ahora, como candidata a presidente del PSB, partido que era parte de la base del gobierno central hasta el fin de 2013, representa una preferencia de votos como alternativa al lulismo. Vale una observación con tono de autocrítica, nunca anticipamos un escenario con el abandono de algún candidato, ni menos a partir de un desastre como éste. Todo analista debería tener este escenario en cuenta, aunque con menores posibilidades. ... read full story / add a comment

Nel 2001-2002 l'Argentina andò in default. Bancarotta. Tutti ricordiamo l'ira popolare, le manifestazioni del "cacelorazo", i mercati di quartiere con moneta libera e di libero scambio, l'esperienza delle "fabricas recuperadas" ed autogestite. Crogiuolo di rinascita anche del movimento libertario organizzato. Magari ricordiamo pure l'ira dei non pochi investitori italiani, mica solo quelli milionari, mal consigliati dalle banche, mobilitarsi per avere il rimborso dei bond argentini da loro acquistati per pura speculazione. Dopo il default, l'Argentina ha ristrutturato il suo debito per 191 mld di dollari, dilazionando le scadenze dei bond al 2005 e 2010, senza ricorrere alle draculesche politiche di austerity del FMI. ... read full story / add a comment

Este Martes [19 de Agosto] se realizó una consulta por parte del colegio de profesores en torno a la propuesta elaborada por el gobierno sobre la situación del profesorado, esta propuesta fue rechazada enérgicamente por las bases del colegio de profesores tensionando a los intereses partidarios de su dirección. Por otro lado profesores y trabajadores de la educación se organizan en paralelo al magisterio al cual critican de no representar a la mayoría de los profesores ya que muy pocos profesores están colegiados y en su mayoría son profesores jubilados, es en ese contexto donde surgen organizaciones de base en torno a demandas como el 50/50 de horas lectivas y no lectivas. ... read full story / add a comment

Όπως στη γραμματική υπάρχουν οι κύριες και οι δευτερεύουσες προτάσεις, έτσι και στη ζωή υπάρχουν τα κύρια και τα δευτερεύοντα ζητήματα. Η υπόνοια ότι τα μεν είναι σημαντικά και τα δε ασήμαντα είναι ελαφρώς απατηλή. Ακριβώς με τον ίδιο τρόπο που αν αφαιρέσεις μια δευτερεούσα πρόταση από μία φράση η κύρια μπορεί να στέκει άλογη και ακατανόητη, έτσι και τα δευτερεύοντα (ή δευτερογενή) πράγματα στη ζωή είναι συχνά απαραίτητα για να αποκτούν λογική και ουσία τα κύρια. ... read full story / add a comment

(by: Bruno Lima Rocha. Translated by: Daniel Gutiérrez) The BRICS alliance — a bloc of countries formed by the meetings of their leaders and without any formal documentation — has once again caught the world’s attention for trying a new hand in global power politics. The premise of the relationship between Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa is based on the economy and the potential of sharing a common destination point. Culturally, Brazil is most similar to post-Apartheid South Africa, and proportionally we carry a similar weight to Latin America, as does South Africa to sub-saharan Africa. ... read full story / add a comment

La guerra di Israele su Gaza intendeva indebolire Hamas ma renderlo indipendente dall'Autorità in Cisgiordania. Un mese e mezzo è passato ed Israele non riesce a fermare il lancio di razzi di Hamas su Israele. Hamas ha chiesto ad alta voce la rimozione dell'assedio ed il primo ministro israeliano non ha avuto l'appoggio necessario dalla sua coalizione per il necessario compromesso. Per diminuire le perdite e per salvare la faccia Israele con il sostegno degli USA stanno ora delegando la questione a quel Consiglio di Sicurezza dell'ONU di cui Israele non si è curato per molti anni. [English]
The war Israel started with the Hamas was intended to keep it weaker but independent of the west bank authority. A month and a half and Israel cannot stop the Hamas firing of rockets on Israel. The Hamas raised its demand about the lifting of the siege (closer) and the Israeli prime minister failed go get the support of his coalition for the needed compromise. To diminish the losses and to save face Israel with US backing are passing the decision to the UN security council the Israeli ruling elite evaded successfully so many years. The mounting economic pressures create cracks in the Israeli ruling elite and even the populist coalition party head - the foreign minister, start to promote the end of the 1967 occupation. And the joint popular grass root struggle continue - within Israel at the Arkib Bedouins as focus, Bil'in, Ma'asara, Neby Saleh, Ni'ilin, Qaddum, Sheikh Jarrah, South Hebron Hills. [Italiano] This is as complete a story about what happened to 'Migrant X' that we are aware of. Migrant X is a young migrant women who it emerged was refused an abortion by the Irish state despite apparently meeting the grounds of the X-case legislation and instead forced to carry the pregnancy and agree to a C-section. The pregnanacy itself was the result of rape, Migrant X attempted suicide after being refused the abortion and later went on a hunger and thirst strike. Once what had happened to her became known there were sizeable pro-choice solidarity demonstrations called across Ireland and at Irish embassies overseas. We have been given information that the migrant woman at the centre of the current forced pregnancy was 'committed' to a psychiatric hospital following her initial request for termination. It’s already known that the initial request was made when she was 8 weeks pregnant. It was this crucial period in which she was being held incommunicado which led directly to the Caesarian option being possible to impose as an ‘alternative’ to allowing her to access the abortion she had asked for. more >>
