I came from the kind of poor that people don’t want to believe still exists in this country. Have you ever spent a frigid northern-Illinois winter without heat or running water? I have. At 12 years old were you making ramen noodles in a coffee maker with water you fetched from a public bathroom? I was. Have you ever lived in a camper year-round and used a random relative’s apartment as your mailing address? We did. Did you attend so many different elementary schools that you can only remember a quarter of their names? Welcome to my childhood. ... read full story / add a comment niederlande / deutschland / Österreich / gemeinschaftliche kämpfe / andere libertäre presse Thursday March 30, 2017 - 02:42 by G. Stppnbr4nd Am 8. März, zum Frauen*kampftag, fand in Karl-Marx-Stadt eine Solidaritätsdemo für die neu gegründete GG/BO Sektion statt. Vom Hauptbahnhof an liefen circa 170 Teilnehmer*innen durch Chemnitz, um sich am Ende der Route vor dem Chemnitzer Frauen*-Knast zu sammeln, wo neben lautstarken Solidaritätsbekundungen auch viele tolle Redebeiträge zu hören waren. Darunter verlesene Briefe anderer Inhaftierter, die ebenfalls in der Gefangengewerkschaft aktiv sind, Beiträge feministischer Gruppen und Einzelpersonen. Auch dieser Beitrag wurde vor Ort vorgetragen. Er ist von uns als FAU Sektion Chemnitz, die zusammen mit vielen anderen Ortgruppen und Syndikaten an diesem Tag vertreten war. Denn: Unverträgliche Gewerkschaften sollten zusammenhalten, genau so wie wir auch die sozialen Kämpfe auf dem Weg in die befreite Gesellschaft nur gemeinsam gewinnen können. In diesem Gedanken steht auch der hier veröffentlichte Redebeitrag.

They vote for reactionary and fascistoid political parties. They helped to vote the UK out of the EU and to make Trump president of the world's superpower number one, and they vote so massively for the far right political parties that the latter have government power in sight throughout several of Europe's most populous countries. ... read full story / add a comment international / migration / racism / non-anarchist press Monday March 06, 2017 - 16:30 by Hamid Dabashi Today's worst Islamophobes are not hailing from the ranks of the far-right movement, instead they claim to be liberals. ... read full story / add a comment north africa / imperialism / war / non-anarchist press Monday February 27, 2017 - 00:28 by Nizar Visram 1 image At the 28th Summit meeting of the African Union (AU) held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on 30 January 2017, Morocco's readmission to the continental body generated heated discussion.

These uprisings include the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom, the rejection of the Renzi reforms in Italy, the Bernie Sanders campaign for the Democratic Party nomination in the United States, and rising support for the National Front in France, among others. Although they differ in ideology and goals, these electoral mutinies share a common target: all are rejections of corporate globalization, neoliberalism, and the political establishments that have promoted them. In every case, voters are saying “No!” to the lethal combination of austerity, free trade, predatory debt, and precarious, ill-paid work that characterize financialized capitalism today. Their votes are a response to the structural crisis of this form of capitalism, which first came into full view with the near meltdown of the global financial order in 2008. ... read full story / add a comment international / imperialism / war / non-anarchist press Friday December 30, 2016 - 16:21 by David Bush The debate over Syria on the Left is toxic.

This Saturday December 3, the protests marched on the Presidential Blue House. The three opposition parties introduced a bill last week to impeach the President, supported by a majority of the parliament (171 of 300 members), for abuse of power in an influence-peddling scandal. But the vote needs a 2/3 majority and requires a rump of Park's Saenuri party to break and support the opposition to pass the bill. These are the largest demonstrations in South Korea since the pro-democracy movement of the 1980s. But the street protests are also against the neoliberal reforms Park has pursued and the attacks on the KCTU (Korean Confederation of Trade Unions), and an emphatic statement that all politics is not forming in a populist hard right. The below essays were written just after the fourth demonstration weekend. ... read full story / add a comment central america / caribbean / the left / non-anarchist press Wednesday November 30, 2016 - 18:59 by Slavoj Zizek In the last decades, Cuban “socialism” continued to live only because it didn’t yet notice it was already dead. ... read full story / add a comment international / history of anarchism / other libertarian press Friday November 18, 2016 - 02:55 by KSL KSL: Bulletin of the Kate Sharpley Library No. 88, October 2016 has just been posted ... read full story / add a comment internacional / workplace struggles / other libertarian press Saturday November 12, 2016 - 17:33 by CIB Unicobas Bari A la luz de la convocación de un “Congreso de refundación de la A.I.T.” propuesta por la C.N.T.-E., la F.A.U.-Alemania y la U.S.I.-Prato Carnico (hizo la escisión de la U.S.I.), nos hemos sentidos obligados a expresar algunas consideraciones sobre eso y de volver a proponer nuestro testimonio en el 20° Congreso de la A.I.T. de diciembre 1996 en Madrid.

Lucien van der Walt – 2017 Statement on Michael Schmidt Affair 00:52 Wed 12 Apr 0 comments On 11 February 2016, I issued an initial personal statement on the Michael Schmidt affair.[1] I completely rejected the irredeemable racist and right-wing statements attributed to Schmidt, which were mainly posted under false names online. They represent positions I have consistently opposed, for decades, to the best of my abilities. I noted problems with his explanation, centred on the claim that his posts and false personas were solely means for infiltrating the radical right for undercover research. I raised serious ethical problems with his actions, including his admitted role in repeatedly frustrating earlier investigations into his actions by myself and others. I also laid out my emotional turmoil over the affair, the gulf between the Schmidt I knew and trusted, a man active in left and black working class circles, and another Schmidt, increasingly exposed.

Apr 14 0 comments Στα αποσπάσματα αυτά από το βιβλίο της Ida Mett “Οι Ρώσοι Χωρικοί στην Επανάσταση”, η συγγραφέας παρέχει κάποια ιστορικά στοιχεία σε ό,τι αφορά τη ρωσική αγροτιά, κατά την παραμονή και την αρχή της Ρωσικής Επανάστασης του 1917. Υπήρξε μια έκρηξη του αγροτικού συνεταιριστικού κινήματος καθώς μεγάλο μέρος των Ρώσων αγροτών εγκατέλειψε τον στρατό, γυρίζοντας την πλάτη στον πόλεμο της Ρωσίας κατά της Γερμανίας και επέστρεψε στο σπίτι του. Το πολιτικό κόμμα που απολάμβανε τη μεγαλύτερη υποστήριξη εκ μέρους των αγροτών και χωρικών ήταν το Σοσιαλιστικό Επαναστατικό Κόμμα (SRS - ή αριστεροί εσέροι), αλλά ήταν διαιρεμένο σε δεξιές και αριστερές φράξιες και σύντομα άφησε την επαναστατική πρωτοβουλία να περάσει στα χέρια των μπολσεβίκων, οι οποίοι από το 1921 άρχισαν να καταστέλλουν αποτελεσματικά όλες τις άλλες επαναστατικές ομάδες, συμπεριλαμβανομένων και των αναρχικών.

Apr 13 0 comments Nonviolence can be used in many circumstances as an effective tactic, but it is irrelevant, irresponsible, and utterly ridiculous to even consider it as a strategy. So yes, nonviolence should be utilized as a tactic where pertinent, and in turn pacifism, as an ideology and a strategy, must be purged from our movement. [Chile] Las mujeres decimos No+AFP Apr 10 0 comments Cuando hablamos del sistema de pensiones en Chile nos imaginamos que debería responder a los principios que hacen funcionar la seguridad social, abarcando con ello la universalidad, la solidaridad, la eficiencia y la integralidad. Pero sabemos que el sistema no se ajusta actualmente ni a parámetros internacionales ni a las necesidades de las personas, y como rasgo estructural, es sumamente discriminatorio con las mujeres. Sectarismo y vanguardismo – Debatiendo un problema en la izquierda Apr 09 0 comments Una práctica política ética que respete las diferencias políticas y procure siempre por el fortalecimiento de la clase trabajadora es lo que diferencia una propuesta liberadora de un proceso autoritario; una meta democrática de un método impositivo. Prácticas informales de articulación y grupos mal estructurados también perjudican el camino hacia el poder popular, porque pueden reproducir por otras vías el vanguardismo, creando “liderazgos ocultos” y desestimulando espacio de construcción colectiva. more >>[Colombia] Comunicado público ante situación de violencia machista al interior de nuestra organizaci...
