Ultime notizie dal nostro compagno siriano Mazen Kamalmaz: La situazione sembra piuttosto difficile per il futuro delle rivoluzioni dei popoli arabi: la macchina ufficiale della repressione di stato sta funzionando a pieno regime in parecchi paesi, minacciando di sopprimere con forza brutale le rivolte di massa in Libia, Bahrain e Yemen. E' necessaria la nostra solidarietà in termini di azioni e di supporto!

La lotta in corso non è un'eccezione. Naturalmente, queste lotte non sono di quelle a carattere puramente proletario e lo stesso proletariato locale vi ha avuto finora un ruolo minore. Ma la verità è che tali lotte hanno un potenziale molto alto per un indipendente movimento di massa dei lavoratori.

The struggle of the Libyan people, as part of the wave of popular rebellions spreading like fire in all of the Arab world, is taking a really dramatic turn, with the people advancing their struggle against a regime bent on staying in power by whatever means necessary.

To understand better what is going on there, we held another dialogue on February 27th with our friend and comrade, the Syrian anarchist Mazen Kamalmaz, who works on the revolutionary blog http://www.ahewar.org/m.asp?i=1385

El siguiente artículo analiza la actual coyuntura coreana y el significado de los provocadores ejercicios militares surcoreanos que se están realizando esta semana. Aún cuando a las partes, objetivamente, no les convenga un escenario de guerra. La volátil situación coreana hace que ahora en el 2010, tal cual en 1950, cualquier escalamiento de las tensiones pueda salirse de control -más cuando existen sectores interesados entre los "halcones" de Seúl en una resolución militar de la crisis. También la influencia norteamericana, que busca utilizar la crisis coreana como una manera de presionar y socavar la creciente hegemonía china en la región, es un factor que exacerba enormemente las tensiones. Un artículo previo, La nueva vieja crisis en la península coreana: el largo camino a Yeonpyeong, trata con mayor detalle con los antecedentes de la actual crisis.

"In order to make any sensible decision you need to know what's really going on, and in order to make any just decision you need to know and understand what abuses or plans for abuses are occurring.” (J. Assange)

In the face of perception management, WikiLeaks is information sabotage; disrupting the control that state and corporate bodies exert over information.

The institutions and organisations that shape and misshape the world are rarely interested in transparency, and journalism’s decline has been a boon for the powerful. They have their ‘information warriors’, but WikiLeaks can make us all into information guerillas.

If we want to understand our world better, if we want to manage our own perception, we should support WikiLeaks, we should support whistleblowers, and we should find ways to make journalism work for the people, not for power.

In recent days we have seen an escalation in tension betwen the two Koreas which is being presented by Western countries as an intolerable aggression on the part of the dictatorial, bellicose northern State against their democratic, peaceful neighbours. We think it might be interesting to present to our readers a text from our regular contributor Wayne Price, as a way to better understand the current situation and the reasons behind today's divided Korea.

At this stage we would support a mediated solution which sees the Korean people themselves, on both sides of the border, as main players, with no external interference or decisions made behind their backs. Such a solution would be the only way to open the door to a united, socialist, democratic and free Korea and guarantee, in this way, a sustainable peace with social justice.
