The union movement must be rebuilt and as soon as possible. It will only be harder the more the movement declines. Rebuilding can only be done through a rank and file insurgency. There may be times and places where it is appropriate to organise new unions (for example in entirely unorganised parts of the workforce, or where the existing union is wholly on the side of the bosses and cannot be recaptured by its members). Most workers, though, will not break with the officials until they are already mobilised and a practical decision is in front of them, so the insurgency must operate largely within existing unions. ... read full story / add a comment

Ο Francesco Fantin και ο ιταλικός αναρχισμός στην Αυστραλία --- Οι τελευταίες μέρες του Fantin ήταν τραγικές, καθώς ήταν εγκλωβισμένος σε ένα στρατόπεδο με εκείνους τις πολιτικές απόψεις των οποίων είχε περάσει όλη του τη ζωή πολεμώντας. Στο ημερολόγιό του στο στρατόπεδο, ο Francesco κρατούσε σημειώσεις και έγραφε ποιήματα. Να ένα τραγικό, θρηνητικό παράδειγμα: «Όνειρα; Η πικρή πραγματικότητα του να βρίσκομαι πάντα εδώ ανάμεσα σε αυτή τη μολυσμένη πολεμοχαρή μάζα. Και ανάμεσα σε ελάχιστους με δίκαιες συνειδήσεις, αυτά τα τελευταία είκοσι χρόνια, σε αυτούς τους καιρούς δικτατόρων και δικτατοριών, το ανθρώπινο είδος γεμάτο τέτοιου είδος πυρετούς μοιάζει τρελό».

We don’t support running in elections or campaigning for them, but some Socialists are wasting their resources doing just that. Because none of them are in any danger of being elected this time around, the MACG considers that it’s possible to give them a principled vote (though it would be different if any might win – they would have to pass the test above). Such a vote is symbolic: you’re putting up your hand for Socialism and against capitalism. It’s a small gesture which you can make without compromising yourself. But we still think it was a mistake for honest Socialists to run. ... read full story / add a comment

It should go without saying that Anarchist Communists defend the CFMEU against bosses and the State, even when its officials haven’t done the right thing. It’s up to the labour movement to clean its own house, so neither the CFMEU’s failure over COVID19 nor the personal misbehaviour of the Victorian Secretary justify State intervention against the union. Instead, the Melbourne Anarchist Communist Group calls on construction workers to learn the correct lessons from the COVID19 debacle, clean out the ranks of the officials and bring the union under the direct control of the members. The CFMEU is in danger. Only class struggle will save it. ... read full story / add a comment

Το National Plan to Transition Australia’s National COVID-19 Response (Εθνικό Σχέδιο αντιμετώπισης της COVID-19 στην Αυστραλία) είναι ένα σχέδιο καταστροφής. Η Ομοσπονδιακή Κυβέρνηση, μετά από εντολή των ισχυρότερων εγχώριων καπιταλιστών, σχεδιάζει να εγκαταλείψει τον αγώνα για την εξάλειψη της COVID19 και ακόμη να την επαναφέρει σε περιοχές της Αυστραλίας που τώρα δεν επηρεάζονται από αυτήν. Απορρίπτει ευγενικά τις όποιες ανησυχίες αναφερόμενη σε σχετική έρευνα του σεβαστού Doherty Institute (Ινστιτούτου Doherty). ... read full story / add a comment

The National Plan is that solution and the current outbreak in New South Wales is the wedge which the Federal Government is using to make it look inevitable. Unlikely as it might sound, Scott Morrison and Gladys Berejiklian don’t want to stop this wave. They just want it to move slowly, while the vaccination campaign is implemented. ... read full story / add a comment

This article was originally written at the request of our comrades in France, the Union Communiste Libertaire. A translation of this article into French will hopefully be published soon. It is intended to be a follow up to an article by the UCL entitled “1788 : Les générations volées de l’Australie coloniale”, which deals at length with the details of early colonisation and the Stolen Generation. As such, our article does not go into detail about these two things, and is directed more to a global audience instead of a domestic one that already knows about Indigenous struggles. ... read full story / add a comment

Στη θέση του καπιταλισμού και του κράτους θα βλέπαμε τον έλεγχο των εργαζομένων στους χώρους εργασίας, τον κοινοτικό έλεγχο στη στέγαση και έναν διεξοδικό εκδημοκρατισμό όλων των σφαιρών της ζωής. Η κοινωνία θα ελέγχεται συλλογικά από όλους και τα προς το ζην θα παρέχονται δωρεάν σε όλους.
Στη θέση μιας κοινωνίας που βασίζεται στην αποξένωση, την ανισότητα και την αδικία αναζητούμε ένα κοινωνικό σύστημα βασισμένο στην ελευθερία, την ισότητα και τη δημοκρατία, όπου ο στόχος της κοινωνίας είναι η πλήρης ανάπτυξη, η αυτοπραγμάτωση και η άνθηση όλων, παρά η ατελείωτη επέκταση του κέρδους. ... read full story / add a comment

The Centre-Periphery model of class struggle, as elaborated by FARJ (Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro) in Social Anarchism and Organisation (2008), has been a much debated topic within ACM. This article will seek to explain the concept by analysing FARJ’s source for the concept in Rudolf De Jong’s ‘Some Remarks on the Libertarian Conception of Revolutionary Change’ (1975) before discussing the possible uses and applications for anarchists within so-called Australia. ... read full story / add a comment

The myth of Australia’s unique military has been deployed to boost support for Australian participation in all subsequent imperialist wars. The less justification there is for the war, the more the propaganda focuses on the supposed virtues of the troops rather than the justice of the cause. While the virtues of the Anzacs were part of the propaganda for World War II, they were more prominent during the Korean and Vietnam Wars and have become the dominant theme in reporting and discussion of Australia’s participation in the imperialist wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. ... read full story / add a comment

The LNP government has announced this week its planned changes to the JobSeeker payment in so-called Australia. After 27 years of no increases, they have decided to raise the dole from $40 a day all the way up to $43 a day. This leaves the payment far below the relative poverty line. The real concern with these changes is the increase to already draconian mutual obligations forced onto the unemployed.
As anarchists we understand that capitalism’s illusion of being consensual and contractual is a bald-face lie, so how then can we fight back against not just these changes but the entire rotten welfare system in this country?
There are already the usual calls of putting pressure onto the Labor Party who have shown time and time again they are no friends of those in poverty. We need to build popular power in the movements and build alliances. ... read full story / add a comment

The struggle for a new world has been a long one and has been contributed to by countless individuals and organisations in that time. While the path often seems long and sometimes hopeless we believe that a new world is not just possible, but necessary for our survival. We hope that with this new organisation we like so many before us can play a part in making this vision become reality. ... read full story / add a comment

In these circumstances, the military effort in Afghanistan quickly became an occupation. All Afghan civilians were the enemy, unless they were known tools of the occupiers. And so the fighting age males were deemed fair game. Imperialist war cannot be waged justly, so the political decisions of John Howard, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard and other Prime Ministers made the crimes of the soldiers on the ground inevitable. The soldiers named in the secret version of the report deserve to be in the dock, but so do their political masters. ... read full story / add a comment

These universities are not alone. In fact, this struggle for our lives, for our freedom to dictate our destiny, is the struggle of every student, in every institution across the archipelago! All schools, colleges, and universities have their own versions of our very native concept of bayanihan, that entails a camaraderie and solidarity where no one will be left behind. It is in our values and in our history that we can learn what it takes to take our liberty now. ... read full story / add a comment

Ως αναρχικοί, υποστηρίζουμε την εργατική επανάσταση σε όλο τον κόσμο και αναλαμβάνουμε ως πρωταρχικό καθήκον μας την καταπολέμηση των καπιταλιστών όπου ζούμε. Εδώ στην Αυστραλία, πρέπει να πολεμήσουμε ενάντια στη στρατιωτική συμμαχία της Αυστραλιανής Κυβέρνησης με τις ΗΠΑ, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της Συνθήκης ANZUS, της ομάδας πληροφοριών 5 Eyes και της βάσης κατασκοπείας στο Pine Gap. Και πρέπει να αγωνιστούμε για να οικοδομήσουμε ένα εργατικό κίνημα που μπορεί να συνδεθεί με την εργατική τάξη σε ολόκληρη την περιοχή για να κάνει επανάσταση ενάντια τόσο στους καπιταλιστές όσο και στο κινεζικό λεγόμενο «Κομμουνιστικό» Κόμμα.

The Philippine government refuses to implement mass testing and competent contact tracing, two policies that have proven to be effective in other countries. Instead, the government prioritized increasing policing powers, surveillance and warrantless arrests with an “anti-terror” law that critics quickly labeled the “Terror Law.” The militarized nature of the quarantine in the Philippines is already a martial law in fact, which has only been further entrenched with the passing of the Terror Law. ... read full story / add a comment
