Un an après l’offensive militaire israélienne dans la bande de Gaza et ses 1.400 victimes, la situation de la population palestinienne reste dramatique. Alors qu’un rapport de l’Onu confirme que Tsahal s’est livré à des crimes de guerre en janvier 2009, les dirigeants israéliens ne font pas profil bas. Netanyaou refuse toujours un gel des colonies, Barack Obama laisse les mains libres à l’État sioniste, et la perspective d’une nouvelle guerre, voire d’une réoccupation de Gaza ne sont pas à exclure. La solidarité s’impose. À l’appel de la société palestinienne, les anticolonialistes du monde se mobilisent au sein de la campagne Boycott Désinvestissement et Sanction (BDS).

Mais en palestine, où en est la résistance ? Les médias ne cessent de diaboliser le Hamas, justifiant ainsi toutes les exactions israéliennes. Pourtant le Hamas et le Fatah ne sont pas seuls à s’opposer à Israël. Le Front populaire de libération de la Palestine (FPLP), d’influence marxiste, n’a jamais reconnu ni Israël ni les accords d’Oslo et n’a jamais renoncé à la lutte pour la libération de la Palestine.

Pourquoi les forces progressistes et laïques palestiniennes ne sont-elles pas en mesure d’incarner l’espoir auprès de la population ? Où en est la gauche palestiniennes dans son ensemble ? Comment se porte le mouvement populaire palestinien ? Pourquoi les mouvements sociaux dans les Territoires occupés sont-ils à ce point dans le creux de la vague ?

Autant de questions à se poser avant la prochaine Intifada.

Brasil. Breve análise das eleições municipais em Cuiabá - MT

Para nós, anarquistas organizados na Rusga Libertária a disputa por um projeto político que atenda as nossas urgências não serão nunca disputados dentro das instâncias criadas e administradas pela mesma classe que nos oprimi. Deve ser construída no cotidiano, em nosso dia a dia em cada bairro, escola, universidade e local de trabalho, empreendendo nestes espaços todos os esforços para se impulsionar um forte movimento organizado da classe trabalhadora e oprimida, lutando sem trégua por um combativo movimento comunitário nas periferias, pela reorganização do movimento sindical a partir da base e da juventude relegada ao desemprego e a precarização do trabalho informal, resguardando em todos estes espaços a mais ampla independência de classe em relação aos governos, partidos e aos patrões.

Lutando para que estes movimentos forjem um povo forte e lutador, protagonista de seu destino, e não oportunistas que se aproveitam dos mesmos para se construírem na política burguesa, que encontram nas lutas um trampolim para uma ascensão social através de seus mesquinhos partidos. Tarefa esta que deve se estender em todo território estadual e nacional nestes dias difíceis para nossa classe.

An Anarchist View of the U.S. Elections

In the United States, there has developed an enthusiastic movement of support for the Democratic presidential candidate, Senator Barack Obama. Besides the large forces he appeals to, especially among young adults, he is overwhelmingly supported by the left: liberals, social democrats, and Stalinists. I appreciate the movement-like aspect of his popular support, yet I personally will not vote for him.

The contradictory meanings of "communism:" both as a society of freedom and as one of totalitarianism. What Bakuknin, Kropotkin, and Marx had meant by communism and how this term was changed by the Leninists.

There was a vision, called “communism,” which was held by Kropotkin and other anarchist-communists in the 19th and early 20th century. Marx and Engels shared essentially the same goal. In the stateless, classless, society of communism, the means of production would be held in common (by the community), work would be carried out due to social motives rather than for wages, and consumer goods would be available to all according to their needs.

But during the Cold War, “communism” came to mean something entirely different. Great nations were ruled by self-named Communist Parties. Their economies were managed by totalitarian states, their powerless workers produced commodities sold on the internal and international market, and they worked for wages (that is, they sold their labor power as commodities to their bosses).

Part 2: It is Not the Label but the Content Which Matters

On December 1, by mutual consent of all its members and following consultations with the WSM (Ireland), OCL (Chile) and FdCA (Italy), the Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Federation was replaced by a new, unitary organisation, the Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Front. The new ZACF retains all the assets of the former federation. On December 2, the members of the new ZACF held talks with our Swazi comrades with a view to establishing a new unitary organisation in Swaziland. The new Front's constitution follows.
