Black Lives Matter and The Race Question
An outline for my blog on the BLM movement, it's rise to prominence, and the race question. I give a detailed idea of where I think the BLM current should possibly go from here.
it must articulate a proletarian ideology which seeks the liberation of the planet from capital and class society to be struggled for on the basis of self organization of the oppressed in society.In defense of Zeng Feiyang: a critique of the smear campaign

De Alemania a Bakur: Anarquistas europeos sobre la lucha kurda
A partir de la exitosa defensa de Kobanê contra el Estado Islámico de hace un año, el movimiento kurdo de resistencia ha atraído la atención de los medios internacionales de comunicación. Mientras tanto, sus experimentos de formación de una sociedad sin estado en los cantones autónomos de Rojava tienen fascinados a los anarquistas alrededor del mundo. Pero para entender la resistencia kurda en Rojava (Kurdistán occidental), tenemos que buscar una visión más amplia sobre las luchas por la libertad y la autonomía que se suceden en la región.
Entrevistamos a dos miembros de una red de anarquistas internacionalistas de Alemania que han pasado un tiempo en Bakur (norte de Kurdistán), aprendiendo de las luchas que allí tienen lugar. Comenzando por un repaso histórico de la aparición del movimiento kurdo y del "nuevo paradigma" del PKK de la última década, describen cómo sus experiencias en el Kurdistán les han hecho replantearse su manera de entender la lucha anarquista en otras partes del mundo.
[Chile] 2016: ¿El año de la gratuidad?
Συγκέντρωση αλληλεγγύης
Την Παρασκευή 18 Δεκεμβρίου, παγκόσμια ημέρα υπέρ των μεταναστών, μέλη φοιτητικών συλλόγων, σωματείων και φορέων της πόλης διοργάνωσαν διαδήλωση αλληλεγγύης στους μετανάστες. Οι μπάτσοι επιτέθηκαν σε 4 συναγωνιστές μας φοιτητές, οι οποίοι κατευθύνονταν στο χώρο της συγκέντρωσης, χωρίς να έχει συμβεί το παραμικρό και έστειλαν δυο κοπέλες στο νοσοκομείο και ένα αγόρι με σοβαρά χτυπήματα, ενώ για το τέταρτο άτομο έστησαν μερικές πρόχειρες κατηγορίες, (εξύβριση, απείθεια, αντίσταση κ.λπ.) για να δικαιολογήσουν την σύλληψή του και τον ξυλοδαρμό. Την επόμενη μέρα τον πέρασαν από εισαγγελέα χωρίς δικηγόρο και με απόφαση του τον πέταξαν 3 μέρες στα μπουντρούμια της ΓΑΔΘ.
A vez do governismo por centro-esquerda – uma crítica bem mais à esquerda
Na tarde de 16 de dezembro, enquanto o ministro relator Luiz Edson Fachin proferia seu voto contrariando a tese da ADPF impetrada pelo PC do B, a base de centro-esquerda (ou ex-esquerda como prefiro) iam à forra contra a UDN e ocupavam simbolicamente as ruas do país. Foi um ato com alguma pujança e grande parte desta reviravolta se deve ao processo de impeachment, iniciado como forma de chantagem através do ainda presidente da Câmara Eduardo Cunha (PMDB-RJ). Sinceramente, vejo como positiva toda e qualquer ação a ocupar os espaços públicos, ainda que opere como correia de transmissão de um governo de centro-direita. Ou seja, aqui a crítica não é terem ido para a rua contra o impeachment, mas sim fazer coro com a direita que governa e jogar para a torcida, dizendo-se "contra o ajuste fiscal" e nada fazendo a este respeito.
Migranti e profughi
Non sarà facile sorreggere il peso dello scontro, una nuova fase della lotta antimilitarista ed antifascista ci vedrà coinvolti come sempre, per l’internazionalismo proletario contro il capitalismo e le sue sempre nuove, sempre vecchie, forme di sfruttamento e di violenza.
[Chile] Estudiantes frente a la represión
La movilización estudiantil universitaria del año 2015 ha sido principalmente local: el estudiantado de las universidades ha estado volcado a disputar internamente las condiciones de estudio que reproducen la precarización y mercantilización del sistema educativo. Demandas internas que en último término intentan avanzar algunos pasos hacia esa educación pública, gratuita y de calidad que anhelamos desde hace ya varios años.

Αναρχία στο Πουέρτο Ρίκο
Μια εργασία του Kirwin Shaffer που έχει πάρει τον τίτλο της από το χρώμα της σημαίας των αναρχικών και το νησί όπου οργανώθηκαν οι ριζοσπάστες: το Πουέρτο Ρίκο. Η μαύρη σημαία συμβολίζει την αλληλεγγύη με "εκείνους που έχουν υποφέρει τη μεγαλύτερη κακοποίηση από το κράτος, το κεφάλαιο και τη θρησκεία”. Ένα έργο βαθιά επηρεασμένο, στο οποίο ο Shaffer προσφέρει επίσης μια μελέτη που θα είναι προσβάσιμη στο ευρύ αναγνωστικό κοινό.
How Emissions Trading at Paris Climate Talks Has Set Us Up For Failure
