Oigan bien señores y señoras, de por allá en las esferas del poder: Que sus miradas se vuelquen al Suroccidente colombiano; que sus miedos aparezcan donde se creía que no había dignidad; que sus pesadillas comiencen en donde se creía no existían sueños, allá, donde se creía que no había corazones ni manos ni pies para andar, para caminar y para dignificar. Allá, en el Suroccidente colombiano, que tantas veces ha sido atacado, estigmatizado y condenado, hoy vuelve a renacer, florecer y a arder, porque las comunidades y los pueblos de aquella Colombia profunda han vuelto a levantarse después de 1500 acuerdos firmados con Gobiernos de hace más de 20 años.

BRENTON TARRANT, WHO stands accused of killing 50 adults and children at two mosques in New Zealand last week, wants us to know what inspired his actions. Before livestreaming his massacre of Muslim worshipers, he composed a lengthy document that proudly advocates the murder of innocent people in the name of racial purity. The manifesto is predictably disturbing. It is the work of a nihilist who sees a world so bleak and hopeless that it could be improved through acts of mass murder. There is one word in the 74-page document, however, that stood out to me: “invader.” read full story / add a comment

Five years after the “EuroMaidan” protests in Kiev and elsewhere toppled the government of now-exiled former president Viktor Yanukovych, the people of Ukraine are set to elect a new leader. Over 34 million Ukrainian citizens will be eligible to cast their vote on 31 March, although several million will be prevented from participating due to the ongoing conflict situation in the country’s eastern Donbass region. Should none of the candidates receive an absolute majority, a second round of voting will be held on 21 April.

Ukraine consistently ranks among the poorest countries in Europe – last year it overtook Moldova to occupy the top spot in the list. The largest post-Soviet state after Russia in terms of population, it finds itself torn between the European Union promising economic integration and a limited degree of freedom of movement, and deepening the country’s relationship with Moscow, the largest consumer of Ukrainian exports to which Ukraine is tied by centuries of shared history, tradition, and repeated conflict.

EuroMaidan exacerbated the country’s ongoing economic decline and mounting social pressures in 2013–14, ultimately triggering the war in the Donbass region and the Russian annexation of the Crimean peninsula. These tensions have facilitated the rise of a vicious Ukrainian nationalism that the government led by current president Petro Poroshenko is not afraid to manipulate for its own purposes. Attacks on left-wing activists and ethnic minorities are becoming increasingly common, while armed far-right paramilitaries like the so-called “Azov Battalion” are normalized and integrated into mainstream political life.

That said, not everyone in Ukraine is happy about these developments. Although none of the candidates in the upcoming elections offer a particularly radical or progressive vision for the country, voters will at least be able to decide whether to endorse Poroshenko’s current course or throw their support behind another figure. Loren Balhorn of the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung spoke with Kiev-based sociologist Volodymyr Ishchenko to get a better understanding of the candidates, the state of the county, and what is at stake for the people of Ukraine in 2019. read full story / add a comment

No es lo mismo una trabajadora o desocupada que una milica que reprime en los barrios a las hijas e hijos de las trabajadoras. Este es el día de la mujer de abajo, muchas veces sostén económico del hogar, que se encarga de la crianza de sus hijos e hijas, de las tareas de la casa, entre otras cosas, sin valorización de todo ese trabajo. Hay una cuestión de clase que marca una línea divisoria. No es el día de todas las mujeres, es el día de la mujer que marcha junto a los oprimidos con sus sueños de un mundo distinto y mejor. read full story / add a comment

For the past few years, most people would have come across news stories of how Kurdish fighters in Syria, especially women, have been crucial in battling the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Very few, however, would be aware that in the north and eastern parts of Syria these same Kurdish fighters are part of a revolution as progressive, profound and potentially as far-reaching as any in history. In the north and eastern parts of Syria, an attempt to create an alternative system to hierarchical states, capitalism and patriarchy is underway and should it fully succeed it holds the potential to inspire the struggle for a better, more egalitarian Middle East, Africa, South Africa and indeed world. As in any revolution it has had its successes and shortcomings, but it is already an experiment worth reflecting on as it shows a far different world could be built to the extremely unequal and increasingly right-wing and authoritarian one that exists today. read full story / add a comment

international / anarchist movement / policy statement Wednesday March 20, 2019 19:12 byJornadas Anarquistas   image 1 image
In these challenging times, where there is great political confusion, where old practices which lead to the same port are renewed, as is the case with the variety of electioneering offers that ensure they are not going to deviate from the path of a “responsible and mature” politics: while global poverty, precariousness, unemployment and the desperate migration of millions of people increase; while despair grows and authoritarian and neoliberal proposals are gaining ground, where technical coups take place with a view to the most rancid bourgeoisie taking up the state's helm again. Nothing should escape its control and, within this framework, the imperialist policies of the USA and European Union place their chips and interests on the global game board. Thereby increasing, with variants in every region of the planet, the so-called surplus population, stripped of the essentials to live; while the population that suffers various levels of precariousness grows in size and severity. A world that is increasingly designed for less and less people, an increasingly small population that is fully “integrated” into the global capitalist system, where precariousness, segregation, segmentation and survival are constantly increasing. And at the other extreme, wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of fewer people. Castellano read full story / add a comment

Estos tiempos que corren, donde la confusión política es grande, donde se renuevan viejas prácticas que conducen al mismo puerto, como en el caso de las variadas ofertas electoralistas que aseguran que no van a desviarse del camino de una política "madura y responsable”; mientras aumenta a nivel mundial la pobreza, la precarización, el desempleo, las migraciones de millones de seres humanos en forma desesperada, mientras crece el desconsuelo y ganan terreno propuestas autoritarias y neoliberales, donde se producen golpes de Estado de carácter técnico en aras de retomar el timonel del Estado por parte de la burguesía más rancia. Nada debe escapar a su control y en ese marco, la política imperialista de EEUU y la Unión Europea disponen en el tablero mundial sus fichas y sus intereses. Aumenta de ese modo, con variantes en cada región del planeta, la población llamada sobrante, desplazada de todo lo elemental para vivir y también crece en volumen y problemática la población que sufre varios niveles de precarización. Un mundo diseñado cada vez para menos gente, cada vez menos población "integrada" plenamente al sistema mundo capitalista, donde aumenta de la precariedad, la segmentación, segregación y la sobrevivencia. Y en el otro extremo, la consiguiente concentración de la riqueza cada vez en menos manos. English read full story / add a comment

iberia / historia del anarquismo / entrevista Wednesday March 20, 2019 00:08 byALB   image 1 image
Gonzalo Berger (Barcelona, 1977), es doctor en historia por la Universidad de Barcelona y docente universitario. Es autor de varios libros y trabajos de investigación sobre la Guerra Civil y el obrerismo de principios del siglo XX en la comarca del Maresme. Algunos de ellos son consultables por internet, dando así la oportunidad a nuevas investigaciones partiendo de lo que ha recopilado. En concreto se podría destacar el artículo que recoge el peso concreto de la CNT catalana en 1937, con cifras y extrapolaciones; o el trabajo sobre los muertos de las milicias catalanas, con nombres y apellidos, unidad y filiación que ha publicado recientemente en su blog su primera versión; o la lista de columnas y centurias que salieron de Catalunya que publica en los anexos de su tesis doctoral y de su libro (ya os adelantamos que salieron 151 columnas - muchas compuestas solamente de 1 o 2 centurias - entre julio y diciembre de 1936, en las que el bloque CNT-FAI aportó el 43% de milicianos y milicianas).

Berger además se dedica a difundir el conocimiento de lo que supuso la guerra a través de documentales y exposiciones como por ejemplo “Dones en Guerra", "Espais de la Batalla de Mallorca", "Milicianes" o "No Pasarán: 16 días. Madrid 1936".

Hoy en día, la apertura de los archivos y la mejora de su accesibilidad (empiezan a digitalizarse en algunos lugares) está dando y dará pie a nuevas reformulaciones de lo que ha sido investigado ya. Pero se necesita primero un trabajo de base, desde el que empezar a leer la historia, que suele ser una tarea titánica y más basada en la estadística y la recopilación de datos y nombres que en su interpretación. Comentaba hace poco Rafael Cid la importancia de la labor de "arqueología" que realizan los militantes que investigan y los historiadores que militan y que constituyen una enciclopedia con trabajo. read full story / add a comment

This article, with the guidance of anarchism as a theory, provides a critical analysis of Zimbabwe and its current state, arguing against simple analysis and going beyond individual politics. The real, underlying problem is a society governed by a class system under the control of a predatory state that cannot survive a day without the exploitation of its people. It is essential to organize and educate the masses for a revolution they can claim as their own, against all forms of oppression and that builds on everyday struggles to improve the deplorable conditions of Zimbabwe. read full story / add a comment

Πρέπει να είμαστε κομμουνιστές επειδή στον κομμουνισμό θα συνειδητοποιήσουμε την πραγματική ισότητα. Πρέπει να είμαστε κομμουνιστές επειδή οι άνθρωποι, που δεν καταλαβαίνουν την κολεκτιβιστική σοφιστεία, κατανοούν απόλυτα τον κομμουνισμό, όπως έχουν ήδη παρατηρήσει οι φίλοι μας Ρεκλύ και Κροπότκιν. Πρέπει να είμαστε κομμουνιστές, επειδή είμαστε αναρχικοί, γιατί η αναρχία και ο κομμουνισμός είναι οι δύο όροι που είναι απαραίτητοι για την επανάσταση. read full story / add a comment

En este sentido, hay que reconocer que si bien en los encuentros, marchas y asambleas se evidenciaba un gran flujo de personas, su participación no era igual de efectiva, vemos que muchas veces son las mismas quienes participan en todos los escenarios, lo cual puede limitar el abanico de opciones sobre las decisiones que se pueden tomar; pero esto no es para preocuparse, pues se debe reconocer también que es un proceso que todavía está empezando a construirse y que falta mucho camino, sin embargo para que este proceso siga adelante, nosotras, como estudiantes, debemos asumir una participación activa, sacar la militancia de la pertenencia de una organización y actuar bajo una militancia colectiva, que permita enriquecer los procesos y volverlos más contundentes read full story / add a comment

“Neste momento decisivo em que as definições devem ser traduzidas de forma fulminante em feitos e as posições em ações contundentes, a definição e posição das mulheres – de mulheres livres, das que afirmam sua vontade resoluta de ser – nos dão os fatos e ações que essas páginas coletam da maneira mais plausível possível. Junto à mão suave das mulheres que curam feridas, cuidam das crianças ou oferecem um gole de água para a sede ardente do combatente, destacamos o braço forte da mulher que ergue um fuzil. Isso não significa, de maneira alguma, a renúncia de um sentido humano que queremos proclamar acima de tudo. Mas nosso sentido humano é integral, ativo e beligerante. E é transcendente. Isto é, atinge mais do que alívio imediato da dor imediata. Aspira à eliminação radical da dor, pelo menos da dor social que nasce da opressão política e da injustiça econômica.
[…] Enquanto isso, o nosso sentido humano, precisamente o nosso sentido humano, obriga-nos à luta dura, cruel, implacável contra um inimigo implacável. Através da morte, sobre a morte, defendemos a vida. A única vida que merece ser defendida: a vida em plena liberdade “.

Em 1925, a costureira e militante anarquista Alzira Werkauser tomou a palavra e presidiu uma sessão do 3° Congresso Operário do Rio Grande do Sul. Nesta ocasião atuou como delegada sindical com mandato do sindicato dos alfaiates, costureiras e anexos. Alzira foi
ativa militante da resistência a opressão sobre as mulheres, da luta sindical das costureiras e das convicções anarquistas em uma peleia diária e incansável para mudar o mundo com socialismo e liberdade. Sua moção ao Congresso a que nos referimos levava intuitivamente, pelas misérias que padecia como mulher trabalhadora e mulher oprimida, aquela noção tão forte e tão feminista que pronunciou a comunera Louise Michel: “Tomem cuidado com as mulheres quando se cansarem de tudo o que as rodeia e se levantem contra o velho mundo. Nesse dia um novo mundo começará.” read full story / add a comment
