A-INFOS-ORG
The A-Infos news
lists are democratically self-managed by an international
organizational collective. Here's how to participate.
We especially encourage women, non-english speaking people, and those
living outside of Europe and America. Here is a list of our current
policies.
A-INFOS
VISION
The A-Infos Project is coordinated by an international
collective of revolutionary anti-authoritarian,
anti-capitalist activists, involved with class
struggle and who regard it as a total social struggle.
These are people who conceive themselves as
revolutionary class struggle social anarchists,
anarcho-communists, libertarian communists, syndicalists
and others who hold similar opinions but use other labels.
A-Infos is organized by people who feel anarchism is a
social theory, and that a revolution is necessary to
bring about the new class-less social order, and that
this revolution can only be made by the vast majority
of the working people.
The specific kind of anarchism we talk about and
promote is the anarchism of the Haymarket martyrs and
those expelled by Karl Marx from the First
International for criticizing his authoritarianism and
the elitist, vanguardist degradation of the masses of
the working class...
We do not support the kind of anarchism proposed by some
pseudo-modernists and pseudo-"revolutionaries" who
regard symbolic activity as substitute to mass
struggle, or the kind of anarchism of "humanists" who hold
other tasks as equal or more important than the
revolutionary struggle for abolishing the capitalist
system.
A-Infos work is not inspired by egoistic and
egocentric individualism, primitivism, "free
capitalism without a state" or even a state without
free capitalism - who oppose the present capitalist
order but do not offer instead a viable model of modern
social order of freedom, equality, and solidarity.
It is not enough for individuals and groups to use an
anarchist label for their texts to be distributed by
A-Infos.
In the struggle for a free society, we distribute news
and articles in several languages, covering a wide
range of areas of struggle. These include workplace
and environmental struggles as well as the fight
against racism, sexism and homophobia. A-Infos also
distributes news on indigenous peoples
anti-colonialist fight against settlers, occupation
and marginalization, as well as anti-nationalist and
anti-regional separatist struggles, because workers
have no country but the world as a whole....
A-Infos is specialized press agency, in the service
(as we see it best) of the movement of revolutionary
anti-capitalist activists who are involved in the
various social struggles against the capitalist class
and its social system.
A-Infos is not an open "liberal" service that
distributes anything "we" are sympathetic to -- it is
not Indymedia. It is first of all a free distribution
tool for information from and about collectives of
anarchist (and other anti authoritarian
revolutionaries) involved in the struggle.
A-Infos workers do not think we are the ones who
should decide who, on the social anarchist camp, is a
"real" anarchist or not. However, as resources are
limited, we have the right and duty to (autonomously)
choose what we distribute what we feel is best among
the contributions and contributors. The freedom of
association the A-Infos collective is based on means
nothing without the freedom not to associate, if
workers so choose.
A-Infos has a role to play in the world anarchist
movement. Information is strength. A-Infos helps to
build a sense of an international movement. A-Infos
is, to a certain extent, one of the few international
organizational tools of the movement. But to keep this
role it must stay a tool in the service of the
movement and not a free-for-all information service.
A-Infos is not just an internal movement tool. Like
the Anarchist FAQ, it's also a means to present the
movement to the wider audience and to a new
generation, and acquaint them with international
aspects of the movement.
A-Infos is an autonomous anarchist press agency that
is not the bullhorn of any "social" movement. Even
when self-proclaimed anarchists (or even if real ones)
are involved is not a guarantee A-Infos will
distribute contributions. Even if we ourselves
sympathize with given movements is no guarantee
articles will be posted.
Thus, A-Infos distributes the news and analysis its
workers want to share with the world non-authoritarian
activists community -- mainly posts from
anti-authoritarian revolutionary collectives and
reports about direct action of social struggle
both of activists and of common people in their daily life.
Anyone who is not satisfied with the services we
provide, is welcome to use other services or build
her/his own.
A-infos is both an organizational tool, a propaganda tool, and an
information tool of the movement -- and is not merely "news
by, about and of interest to anarchists."

Text for the Anarchist Campaign of Internationalist Solidarity ---- The brutal assault
that society is currently experiencing is the result of the state's and bourgeois efforts
over time to transform it and to impose catharos and prison conditions. This attack, under
the conditions of deep and comprehensive systemic crisis and the de-legitimization of the
political system worldly, raises both the incurable contradictions of the state-capitalist
model of organization and the absolute inability to produce from the top any coherent
social vision, prospect and hope. ---- The roots of this, the ever-increasing aggression,
are in the very nature of the oppressive and exploitative system. The need for deepening
and expanding power places the company in control of every human activity, in order to
fully enslave society to the requirements of the state and the bosses. The

WHO ARE WE? ---- "The platform" is an anarcho-communist organization. It has set itself
the goal to build a federation for the German-speaking area, which works according to
platformistic principles. In the German-speaking world, the ideas of platformism and
especifismo are unknown and so far weak. We want to change that. We want to add a well
thought-out organized contribution to the anarchist movement. We want to support social
struggles and develop class struggles. We want to contribute to the social revolution and
fight back the reaction in the face of the shift to the right. We are a platform for all
those who have not yet come to terms with this system, who want to move forward on the way
to a society without dominance. Let's start it together!

In June will be held the founding congress of a new libertarian communist organization. It
will be open to all those who are tired of capitalism, social inequalities, racism and
sexism, and who think that we must break with the current political institutions. ----
Since November 17, 2018, the movement of yellow vests has come to break the window of
macronism. By massively participating in the protests, workers came to remind us that the
class struggle was more than ever on the agenda. ---- The anger that has begun to speak
and continues to boil is legitimate. It is directed first of all against Macron and his
government, who apply the law of the bosses without any difficulty and go even further
than previous governments in the destruction of social rights.

"Even though the anarchist movement in the German-speaking world has become stronger again
in recent years, it does not manage to gain social relevance. Why this is so and what
solutions are there should be the topic of the lecture. At this point we want to go into
more detail on the concept of "platformism" - an exciting anarchist current that offers
interesting approaches to the further development of German-speaking anarchism. " ----
Together with the initiative " the platform ", we will be organizing this presentation of
the platform on Tuesday, April 9, 2019. We look forward to a lively solidaristic-critical
discussion.

We come to the largest city in the Ruhr metropolis, the largest metropolitan area in the
German-speaking world: Dortmund. The city has undergone an exciting and successful
anarchist reorganization process in recent years. Meanwhile, in addition to our own
anarchist center, the Black Pigeon , in which our event will take place, there is with the
Anarchist Group Dortmund probably the busiest group of the Federation of German-speaking
anarchists .In addition, there are other anarchist projects, groups and structures, which
Dortmund in comparison, in terms of organized anarchism, is doing quite well. We look
forward to the event and how our approach can help the local movement move forward.

field and demand better working conditions. You can not consent to wages below the SMI nor
that peonages are made that are not quoted. A fraud that extends from the greenhouses of
the east of Almeria to those of the western region. Practices that harm us all ... Who
throws the wage and also who receives your pension today. The income to the Social

Today, 24 of march, a second action against IMS Agency and Urban Lodge Hotel took place.
Urban Lodge hotel charges more than 200 hundred euro per night but at the same time they
are refusing to pay salary to the employers. ---- We went inside the hotel with a group of
15 people and spread flyers, stood in the hall with banners and talked to the guests about
the situation. Manager and some staff at reception were defending their boss and the
hotel. The manager said he was aware of workers not being paid and refused to take
responsibility, blaming IMS Agency. After a while he decided to call the cops. Police
didn't show up and we could continue with picketing outside of the hotel for another 30
minutes. ---- Some guests were really supportive and said that they would not have stayed
at this particular hotel if they had known that the workers have not been paid.
