Lezinhlobo zombili zinenhloso ezehlukile zivaleleke emzabalazweni wangokwezinga. UBANDLULULO LWAKHA ICAPITALISM Uhlelo lwe-capitalism e-S.A. lwakhiwe ngenxa yokucindezela ngokobandlululo - ukudliwa kwemihlaba; uhlelo lwezinkompolo, ukushintsashintsha unsebenzi, ukumisa imithetho ethize kanye nokuncisha amalungelo alowomuntu ompisholo osemazingeni aphansi. UMZABALAZO UYAQHUBEKA Ubandlululo lwahlulwa umzabalazo wabasebenzi, kodwa lona lusekhona. Ayina kususwa ngaphandle kokunyanzela indledla yenqcinga zenququko kumphakathi. Ukuvota kwango 1994 akuzange kukugudluze ukucindezelwa ngokobandlululo okuyizinhloso zama-Capitalist. Umzabalazo kufanele uqhubeke ulwisane ne-capitalism ne-racism (ukucwasana ngokwebala): asibesinye isitha, asilwe ngokuhlanganyela! ABASEBENZI ABANGAKHULULA ABANYE ABASEBENZI Ukulwa kwabasebenzi okungaqeda ukucwasana kanye ne-capitalism, ukuze kwakheke inkululeko nokulingana kwabobonke abantu. Abasebenzi kanye nalabo abahluphekayo abangakha umphakathi okhululekile, ngoba ibona abanamandla ngokwenhlangano, uthando lokushintsha lesisimo sokubuswa. UKUZWA NOKUCINDEZELWA KANYE NOKUCWASANA Siphikisa lonke uhlelo lokucindezelwa: ngokwebala, ngokobulili, ngokokusibusa, ngokucekela phansi imvelo nokucwasa labo abayizinkonkone. Sihambisana nokulingana kwabobonke abantu; ukulwa kwabasebenzi okungaqeda ukucindezelwa. Impi elwisana nokucindezelwa kanye nomfutho wabasebenzi kuphela okungahlanganisa abasebenzi. Ukucindezelwa kanye nokucwasana akuhambisani nentando yabasebenzi. Kuhlukanisa kuphinde kwehlise izinga lomzabalazo. INKULULEKO NGEKE ILETHWE UHULUMENI Inkululeko yabasebenzi ngeke yaqhamuka ephalamende noma ekuthatheni izintambo zoMbuso. Umbuso (izinkantolo, abasemagunyeni kahulumeni; amaphoyisa; iphalamende njalonjalo) uyithuluzi le-capitalism le politiki kanye nabaqashi. Ukusetshenziswa koMbuso (State) kungagcina ukuxoveka, ukuhlulwa noma ukulawulwa emzabalazweni wabasebenzi. Ukwehla komnotho kanye kokubuswa ngesihluku ngokwepolitiki kuka Marxist ehola i-Soviet Union kukuveza obala loku. AKUBE NEZINGUQUKO EZINYUNYANENI ZOHWEBO Uhlelo lwe-socialism kufanele luqhamuke laphaya emazingeni aphansi ekulweni ngokuhlanganyela. Izinyunyana zohwebo kufanele kube izona eziphethe umhlaba kanye namafemu ziwafake ngaphansi kwabasebenzi alawulwe yibo uma sekunokhukhulela ngoqo wesiteleka esiyobe simaqondondana nokuba kuthathwe / kungenwe ezindaweni zokusebenzela. Indawo yomsebenzi kumele ihanjisiwe ngandibano zabsebenzi nekomiti ezidityaniswe jikelele kwisiko labasebenzi. QHUQHUZELA ABASEBENZI MPHAKATKINI Okumele kuthathe inxaxheba ngokwendibano yomphakathi uku thabatha wokulawula inkonzo zikamasipala ngendibano zokwa khelana kwe komiti ne council eziqulathwe jikelele kwidolophu kumakhaya a se maphandleni. Ngokukubambanisana komphakathi, nabasebenzi-council, ku lukwe iqhinga kusuka phansi kuya phezulu, malunga nobutjebi ukusebenzisa indledla evulelekileyo yomsebenzi kwinoibano nezidingo zomphakathi, ukuphuculwa indawo yentlalo yabasebenzi nqumgeni mali. Ukulungisa intlalo yabantu apho wonke umntu uphathwe ngokulingana. IKUSASA LAKHIWA NAMHLANJE Imbewu yabasebenzi nendibano yokwakhelana komiti khanselam kumele ifumaneke kwimanyano zabazebenzi ne mibutho bahlali ukwenzela lemebutho idityaniswe ngokuvulelekileyo noku xhomekeka kunzabalazo nokufundisa ngendlela zenqunquko zamaAnarchist-komanisi, sakha ingomso namhlanje, inyathelo kuqala nesiko lokuphikisana ngamandla enqondo ngamandla emphisano nombuso. BASEBENZI HLANGANANI EMHLABENI WONKE Ukuze kuphumelele ukuvikelwa kwabaqashi kufanele kuncike ekuhlanganyeleni kwabasebenzi balolonke ibala, bonke ubulili nakulolonke izwe. I-capitalism igcwele umhlaba wonke ngakhoke kufanele thina basebenzi ukulwa kwethu sikwandise umhlaba wonke. Simelana nenzame zokuhlukamisa abantu ngobuhlanga ulwimi, enzenkolo, abasebenzi abananto yakwenza nabantu abatsund abalawulayo, abamhlophe abasebenzayo abananto yokwenza nabamhlophe abakulawulo. Abantu amakhalati, namandiya, nabamhlophe, abacendelo labantu abazhomekeke kwimpilo yokusebenza abananto banenyongonye. UKUHLANGANA EMHLABENI SILWELE I-SOCIALISM Ukhukhulelangoqo wesiteleka uzoqeda ukucwasana ngokwebala kubasebenzi, ubuye ulethe nentando yeningi: Anarchist-komanisi. Lokhu kuzogxila kumfelandawonye walabo abasemazingeni aphansi, ezindaweni zokusebenzela kanye nakumakhansela emphakathini, bese kuvikelwa umbutho wokuvikela wabasebenzi. Sifuna umphakathi ongenabo obasi (bosses), abaluwuli kanye nabacindezeli noma ngabe kuthiwa abaluphi uhlobo. Sifuna umnotho okhululekile olawulwa abasebenzi. Asifuni ukulawulwa: okuyilona zinga kwinkululeko yethu ukuthi ungabomphuca omunye umuntu inkululeko yakhe. IZINHLOSO ZE TOKOLOGO AFRICAN ANARCHIST COLLECTIVE (TAAC) I- Tokologo African Anarchist Collective (TAAC) ayincikile ekungeneleni ukhetho noma ezinhlosweni zokuthatha amandla ombuso. I-TAAC akuyona inyunyane yabezohwebo kodwa inhlangano yezepolitiki yalabo abalwayo ngenhloso yokugqugquzela ukuzenzela kanye nokuqonda isimo sezepolitiki soquqaba lomphakathi wabasebenzi kanye nabahlwempu ukuze bakwazi ukuzilwela bona. Inhloso yethu ukugqugquzela umzabalazo, kodwa ekugcineni abasebenzi abayokhulula abanye abasebenzi: ukunyanya kwabasebenzi. Ikusasa lakhiwa namhlanje. Siyahambisana nomzabalazo wabafundi wenqubekela phambili. Siyaxhasa izinyunyana ezikhona zabasezimbonini kodwa silwela ukuba zilawulwe abasebenzi; uhlelo lwezinguquko kanye nokubumba inyunyana eyodwa enkulu. Simelana nokhetho kunye nembutho esetyensiswa njengenkomo khetho kgoso politiko. ISIKO LOKULWA Siyaziqhenya ngokumela usiko loquqaba lokuba silwele i-socialism hayi ubugqili (Anarchist-komanisi). Inhlangano yethu ngokomlando isizuze izigidi zabantu umhlaba wonke, ngoba ilwela izidingo zabasebenzi kanye nalabo abangamahlwempu. Ayilweli labo abazifunela bona amandla kanye nokuxhaphaza abasebenzi. Namhlanje i-TAAC isisabalale umhlaba wonke. Uma uvumelana nathi -Joyina i-TAAC! |

We are very pleased to be able to congratulate you on the realisation of your First Congress as a specific anarchist political organisation. In light of the disbanding of the Federación Anarco-Comunista Argentina we believe that this is a very important step both for our shared especifista tendency as well as for the development of anarchism in general, both in Argentina and the region. Anarchist Women attending to the Young Women Conference, in a small village Amara which is in Urfa (Kurdistan), made a speech on the resistance in Kobane, the effect of women on this resistance and women's freedom struggle.
This year marks the 140 year anniversary of the first anarchist International held at St.Imier, Switzerland, in 1872. In celebration of the anniversary an international gathering was called in St.Imier in mid-August. A contingent of Collective Action militants attended the gathering along with thousands of other anarchists from around the world to discuss politics, create new international ties and, of course, have some fun. August saw a gathering of a couple of thousand anarchists from all over the globe in St Imier, Switzerland. This small town was the site of the founding of the Anarchist International in 1872, the gathering was organised to commemorate this event and involved dozens of political, organisational & cultural events. As part of this gathering Anarkismo, the international network that the WSM is the Irish section of, held both a European conference and a global gathering.

In the last few years, Anonymous has gained increasing notoriety for its action against websites, agencies and organizations that promote censorship and control. It has helped spread information and supported protestors demanding freedoms and rights. But the popularity of the movement, the attention it brings along, and the structure it has engendered threaten to push Anonymous away from the decentralized, collective movement it has been. As decisions become more centralized and newcomers jump on the bandwagon, Anonymous risks becoming yet another ineffective reformist group, fueled by well-meaning rethoric but subject to third party interests and paralyzed by its fear of authority... more >>
There are many people from leftists, communists , socialists and some of the anarchists believe that Marxism and Leninism are two different things . They think that Lenin has distorted Marxism. My article here explains with evidence that whatever Lenin said and did have been originated from Marx . It tells you that Marxism has contributed greatly in damaging the socialist/ anarchist movement as much as the rightwing did.
Since 9th of March, across the French territory, an important and combative social-class struggle is taking place against the “labor law” by which the French Government attempts to impose a total restructuring of labor relations. By constant squatting in schools, colleges and public buildings, through reappropriation of public spaces on a daily level, with strikes and sit-ins in factories and in conflict with the forces of repression, French society ‒ especially the youth ‒ holds strong resistance against the attack unleashed by the bosses and the State.
Today’s attack on society is the result of the endless effort made by the state and bosses to transform it into a sweat-shop and a prison. Within conditions of an overall profound systemic crisis and de-legitimation of the political system, this attack is escalating. In the process, it is revealing the incurable contradictions of the state-capitalist organizational structure, as much as the absolute weakness to produce from above any coherent social vision, perspective or hope.
"Africa today lies prostrate, bleeding, and embattled on all fronts, a victim of capitalist and, to a great extent, state socialist ambitions. The heart-rending misery of its peoples, the conditions of abject poverty, squalor and disease in which they live, exist side by side with the wanton luxury, rapacity, and corruption of its leaders." Sam Mbah and I.E. Igariwey, 1997, African Anarchism: The History of a Movement, Sharp Press: Tucson, Arizona. Our vast continent, Africa, is the poorest in the world, host to dozens of wars and conflicts, and marked by instability and inequality. The root causes of the instability lie in political corruption and the profiteering system run by local and international elites. The local ruling classes are interested in making profits and getting wealthy, by any means necessary. The elites are not promoting the development of the working class and peasants (small farmers), but only worsening our conditions. If the choice is between building a road in a poor area or pocketing the money, they will pocket the money.
What if we build it and they don’t come? That was the experience of the left during the crisis - decades had been spent building organisations and a model of how crisis would create revolution but when the crisis arrived the left discovered that the masses weren’t convinced. The expected pattern of crisis leading to small strikes and protests, then to mass strikes and riot and then perhaps to general strike and revolution didn’t flow as expected. Under that theory the radical left would at first be marginal but then as conditions drove class militancy to new heights the workers disappointed by reformist politicians and unions leaders would move quickly to swell its ranks. more >>
