Thibedi was a leading figure in the International Socialist League (ISL) and in the Industrial Workers of Africa syndicalist union. Later he played an important role in the early Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA), particularly its union work. He was active in all of the key black unions from the 1910s to the 1940s. read full story / add a comment

África austral / história do anarquismo / link para pdf Monday September 12, 2011 20:00 by Lucien van der Walt
Este artigo examina a história inicial do anarquismo e do sindicalismo revolucionário na África do Sul, uma sociedade colonial que se industrializou no final do século XIX, e nos arredores da região sul-africana. A África do Sul era caracterizada, nessa época, por um movimento sindical militante, mas que era dividido nacional e racialmente, e pela opressão nacional das pessoas de cor, que constituíam a maioria da população. Em oposição à opressão nacional e à segregação, mas também assumindo uma posição crítica ao nacionalismo africano e de cor, os anarquistas e os sindicalistas revolucionários desenvolveram uma análise da opressão nacional cada vez mais sofisticada, recrutaram e treinaram um quadro multirracial, formaram sindicatos gerais pioneiros e revolucionários contra as pessoas de cor e continuaram a influenciar o trabalho regional, branco e negro, e a esquerda, em geral, após a formação do Partido Comunista da África do Sul (South African Communist Party – CPSA) em 1921. read full story / add a comment

Όταν γιορτάζουμε την Πρωτομαγιά σπάνιες φορές γνωρίζουμε ή καταλαβαίνουμε γιατί η μέρα αυτή είναι αργία στη Νότια Αφρική και σε πολλά μέρη του κόσμου. Οι Sian Byrne, Warren McGregor και Lucien van der Walt διηγούνται την ιστορία των δυναμικών αγώνων που βρίσκονται πίσω από την Πρωτομαγιά και των οργανώσεων που δημιούργησαν αλλά διατήρησαν τη σημασία της ζωντανή. read full story / add a comment

When we celebrate May Day we seldom know or reflect on why it is a holiday in South Africa and in many parts of the world. Sian Byrne, Warren McGregor and Lucien van der Walt tell the story of powerful struggles that lie behind its existence and of the organisations that both created it and kept its meaning alive.

international / history of anarchism / press release Saturday January 15, 2011 13:30 by Steven Hirsch and Lucien van der Walt
Narratives of anarchist and syndicalist history during the era of the first globalization and imperialism (1870-1930) have overwhelmingly been constructed around a Western European tradition centered on discrete national cases. This parochial perspective typically ignores transnational connections and the contemporaneous existence of large and influential libertarian movements in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Yet anarchism and syndicalism, from their very inception at the First International, were conceived and developed as international movements. By focusing on the neglected cases of the colonial and postcolonial world, this volume underscores the worldwide dimension of these movements and their centrality in anti-colonial and anti-imperialist struggles. Drawing on in-depth historical analyses of the ideology, structure, and praxis of anarchism/syndicalism, it also provides fresh perspectives and lessons for those interested in understanding their resurgence today. read full story / add a comment

Η ισπανική επανάσταση ξεκίνησε ως επακόλουθο ενός αποτυχημένου ισπανικού πραξικοπήματος από τον Στρατηγό Φράνκο στις 18 Ιουλίου του 1936. Το πραξικόπημα υποστηρίχθηκε από συντηρητικές μερίδες του μεγάλου κεφαλαίου και της Εκκλησίας, και απέτυχε στο μεγαλύτερο μέρος της Ισπανίας καθώς αντιμετώπισε την ένοπλη αντίσταση των εργαζόμενων και των αγροτών, που οργανώθηκαν κύρια από το μεγάλο αναρχοσυνδικαλιστικό σωματείο, της Εθνικής Ομοσπονδίας Εργασίας (CNT), read full story / add a comment
