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! [English] [Ελληνικά] [Castellano] [العربية ] read full story / add a comment

Kapitalismen bidrager til at opretholde diskrimination og sexisme i samfundet. Det har store konsevenser for alle mennesker, især kvinder. Men hvordan slipper vi af med sexismen og de fastlåste kønsroller? read full story / add a comment

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. Gadaffi, in spite of his past as a thorn in the side of the US, had became a key ally in their War on Terror, as was proved by the late and clumsy reaction of the US to the events unfolding in Libya and the late suspension by the EU of their considerable trade in weapons with the Libyan regime. While the US and the Western powers re-discover, for public image purposes, that they really did not like Gadaffi after all (after a decade of friendly relations), talks have started about a possible intervention and US carriers have moved into waters close to the Libyan shores. The result of such a prospect would be terrible to say the least. In the meantime, the US and their Western allied are exploring the way to make sure that the revolt of the Libyan and the Arab masses does not settle down in revolutionary terms, as well as making sure that their economic and strategic interests are served in the best possible way in the post-Gadaffi scenario. 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 José Antonio Gutiérrez D.

Le Xe Congrès d’Alternative libertaire s’est tenu du 30 octobre au 1er novembre dernier à Angers. S’il a été beaucoup question du conflit social sur les retraites, bien d’autres thèmes furent abordés. Un ordre du jour très chargé.

When Mohammed Bouazizi set himself alight he unwittingly ignited a wave of popular uprisings and rebellions that have spread like wildfire across North Africa and the Middle East, the heat of which can be felt as far afield as Zimbabwe where, on Saturday 19th February, 46 pro-democracy activists including students, workers and trade unionists were arrested in Harare. According to police documents they were arrested for plotting an Egypt-style revolt to overthrow Robert Mugabe, who has been in power since 1980, at a meeting to discuss the fall of Hosni Mubarak and events in North Africa and the Middle East. The arrested, who represent the Zimbabwean Federation of Trade Unions (ZCTU), Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZNSU) and the International Socialist Organisation (ISO), had just watched documentary news footage on the uprising in Egypt and, according to state prosecutors, were there to "organise, strategise and implement the removal of the constitutional government of Zimbabwe ... the Egyptian way".

The news that is flooding from Libya is very shocking. Qaddafi's regime is perpetrating a horrible massacre against the masses in revolt, the mercenaries (the equivalent to the Mubarak regime's baltajia) recruited by Qaddafi's regime, besides the regular army and security forces, are opening fire at unarmed Libyan people or, in some cases, armed with only very light firearms. The regime's repressive forces are not only using firearms, but also artillery, tanks, jet fighters and gunship helicopters...

South African unions, centred on the 2 million-strong Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), have consistently articulated a policy vision that breaks with crude neo-liberalism. This is remarkable – but is it enough? Just how viable and desirable is this vision, particularly as the neo-liberal era lurches into a serious slump? And is there an alternative?

الانتفاضات الكبرى التي هزت العالم العربي في اليمن , الجزائر , تونس و الآن مصر قد فاجأت الجميع . إنها من دون شك واحدة من أهم الأحداث في وقتنا التي ترسل رسالة واضحة أنه لا يوجد أي مكان في هذا العالم كتب عليه أن يكون مجرد ملعب لديكتاتور ما مدعوم من الإمبريالية . تبين أن الأنظمة مفرطة السلطوية مثل نظام بن علي كانت عاجزة تماما في وجه شعب موحد و مصمم على خوض النضال . الناس الذين يقومون بالثورة هم شباب , عمال , عاطلون عن العمل , فقراء , و هم الذين يشكلون اليوم صورة المنطقة , و يرسلون رسائل مثيرة للقشعريرة إلى العصابات التي تجلس في واشنطن و تل أبيب . لم تمتلك كل الأسلحة التي جمعها نظام مبارك و لا كل الدعم الأمريكي العسكري القوة الكافية لمنع الاحتجاج من أن يتعاظم . إنها تظهر قوة الشعب و الطبقة العاملة عندما تتوحد , و تظهر الإمكانيات السياسية للناس العاديين في خلق سلطة مزدوجة بغريزة تحررية واضحة و هي تثبت للعالم أننا في مرحلة تغير ثوري . كان لنا حوارا سريعا مع رفيقنا مازن كم الماز من سوريا , محرر المدونة اللاسلطوية www.ahewar.org/m.asp?i=1385 الذي تحدث عن أهمية هذه الحركة السياسية الرائعة [Français] [Castellano] [Italiano] [Deutsch] [English] [Català] [Nederlands] [Ελληνικά] [Română] read full story / add a comment

Nos organisations affirment leur entière solidarité avec la lutte du peuple tunisien pour la liberté et la justice sociale et son soutien aux militants anticapitalistes tunisiens ; elles condamnent l'attitude des États occidentaux et plus généralement de leur classe politique, de droite comme social-démocrate, investie depuis toujours dans le soutien au pouvoir autoritaire de Ben Ali.

Die Frage der Gewalt spielte im anarchistischen Diskurs schon immer eine grosse Rolle.

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. read full story / add a comment

It is an uncommon pleasure to see the world’s politicians scuttling around furiously, much like woodlice uncovered by the lifting of a rock. WikiLeaks are the ones who did the lifting, and have exposed for us the working of US diplomacy; the information, intentions and concerns of the world’s dominant power.

Neste artigo, publicado originalmente no portal Passa Palavra, busquei uma definição de objeto, tentando conceituar o que são os movimentos sociais e quando eles surgiram; depois buscando um método de análise coerente, discutindo brevemente as três principais correntes teóricas sobre os movimentos sociais e chegando à Teoria do Confronto que, no campo acadêmico, parece oferecer boas bases para um trabalho teórico sobre os movimentos sociais. Ainda que sem aprofundar significativamente o assunto, considerei as reflexões da Teoria do Confronto Político em torno de mecanismos e processos dos movimentos sociais e tentei aplicá-los, tanto para uma análise da burocratização como para um possível programa antiburocrático para os movimentos sociais. Se na primeira parte, de definição do objeto e de busca de um método de análise, utilizei referenciais acadêmicos, para a segunda parte, tentei formalizar uma série de conhecimentos que foram sendo adquiridos na prática com os movimentos sociais nesses anos. A idéia foi, basicamente, a partir de uma definição de burocracia e burocratização, listar tudo aquilo que contribuía com elas e, refletindo sobre causas e conseqüências, poder classificar e evidenciar mecanismos e processos de burocratização – o que constitui o problema a ser resolvido. Em seguida, desenvolvi um programa antiburocrático, que pode ser considerado uma saída para o problema apresentado. Nessa reflexão sobre o programa antiburocrático, trago a discussão sobre o poder popular, baseando meus argumentos em material bastante recente produzido por uma determinada corrente, que hoje atua em movimentos sociais dos mais diferentes tipos – sindical, comunitário, estudantil etc. E a partir dessa discussão, formulo teses sobre o poder popular que definem a concepção que sustento do conceito. Por fim, entro em problemas que a prática coloca para a implementação do programa antiburocrático e do projeto de poder popular defendidos, levantando questões sem resposta para futuros debates coletivos. read full story / add a comment
