Inter-regional meeting of Autonomous Action in Ivanovo

Communique No.5
Coordinating Council, Autonomous Action

The inter-regional gathering of various groups federated to Autonomous Action (AD) took place in Ivanovo on April 22-23, 2006. Representatives from AD-Moscow, AD-Minsk (Belarus), AD-Ivanovo, AD-Ufa and AD-Nizhniy Novgorod attended the meeting.

The participants addressed the following points:

  • Participation of Autonomous Action to the upcoming G8 Summit protests in St. Petersburg
  • financing of various AD projects
  • various technical issues concerning the website, Situation newspaper, etc.
The delegate from Belarus gave a detailed account of participating in what took place in that country in March 2006. Next came local reports from the various AD sections of central Russia and the Ural that gave people a sense of the trends evolving at the organization.

One important result of the meetings came in the agreement on a need for a common program for Autonomous Action. The program is not merely a burocratic document - it facilitates organizational self identification and self awareness. People reached a decision to hold a special organizational convention in the summer of 2007.

This convention is to be distinct in that it'll serve as the venue for fleshing out Autonomous Action's common platform and require the attendance of delegates from all federated groups. Several delegates from AD's Coordinating Council said that they plan to propose the rescinding of AD membership for groups that do not send a delegate or a mandate.

An tense debate arose around the extent of the Coordinating Council's powers. Given the difficulty in resolving this issue the participants decided to postpone the final deliberations until the next meeting.

Discussion on the following question closed up this event: "How does one understand the social and political ideal of Autonomous Action and how can we reach that ideal?" All those present had an opportunity to contribute to the discussion on this question.

We'll publish a detailed account of the gathering in the next informational bulletin called "Samoopredelenie" N.8. The Council will distribute the bulletin to each federated group.

Coordinating Council,
Autonomous Action

belarusriots.jpg imageHow did the Belarusians come to rebellion against the dictatorship 00:11 Wed 12 Aug by Pramen 0 comments

If you had asked people in Belarus how long the dictatorship of Lukashenko was left in early 2020, they would have looked at you like a fool. In a respected dictatorship, such questions are not asked, because you know what can happen. And in general, it so happens that the reign of the great leader is timeless. But the situation has changed so radically over the last 8 months that Belarusians took to the streets and for the first time in the new history of Belarus they fought back the police in at least 33 different cities of the country.

Today Belarusians have woken up in a new country. In it, people openly talk about hatred for the government and prepare for a violent confrontation with the police and state. They discuss online and live effective methods of struggle. Several factories went on strike the day after the elections.

And although the electoral commission reports about the victory of the dictator once again, objectively speaking, Lukashenko lost the election. He lost the election not to some certain candidate, but rather to the Belarusian people, who said that 26 years was enough.

How has Belarus turned from a stable dictatorship, where the most peaceful people live, into a protest center in Europe?

textRussian Anarchism: After the fall 00:48 Sat 26 Feb by Laure Akai and Mikhail Tsovma 0 comments

Although many classical anarchist theorists and figures came from Russia, the advent of the Soviet State effectively crushed the movement. Now anarchism is reborn in Russia. Laure Akai and Mikhail Tsovma write from Moscow to tell us a little about the trials and tribulations of the Russian anarchist movement in the early 1990's

textAre Anarchists Giving in to War Fever? Feb 18 by Wayne Price 16 comments

My response to an article, “British Anarchism Succumbs to War Fever” by Alex Alder. That article expresses dismay that many anarchists, in Britain and Eastern Europe and elsewhere have come to support the Ukrainian side of its war with Russian imperialism. It regards this perspective as a betrayal of anarchism, internationalism, and anti-militarism.

I, on the contrary, think that this solidarity with the Ukrainians is a very good thing. It is completely consistent with revolutionary anarchism.
