On this International Women’s Day, we stand in solidarity as, and with, the gender oppressed and the many global struggles that centrally challenge the various forms of patriarchy in our lives as part of a broad movement against capitalism, the state and all forms of oppression! read full story / add a comment

Global Crisis; American Nightmare
A global economic crisis has brought a new Great Depression to the doorsteps of working class families. While the corporations, government officials, and bureaucracies are experiencing record profits and compensation, those who are least able to pay are expected to shoulder the majority of the burden [1,2]. This collapse is placed upon the backs of workers, and even more to the most oppressed in working class communities, for example: working class women, immigrants, blacks, and latinos [3,4]. Despite the promises of a Democratic congress and presidency, deportations of undocumented immigrants have dramatically increased since Obama took office, tearing communities apart and criminalizing whole populations. If we don’t fight back, the crisis may drive a permanent decline in our standard of living, deepen the domination over the oppressed, and widen the gaps in American society.

Un mouvement est né. À travers les États-Unis et le monde, les occupations se sont propagées. Nous sommes témoins de la beauté et de la lutte d’un nouveau protagoniste joignant le combat contre l’oppression et l’exploitation.

La crise nourrit le conflit : le pillage des communautés galvanise les gens de la Grèce au Chili, du Bangladesh à la Chine, des États-Unis à l’Espagne. Une vague massive d’appauvrissement, de perte d’emploi, d’austérité et de vol des ressources a été déchaînée par le Capital, les gouvernements et les riches. Nous faisons face à la perte de nos emplois, de nos domiciles et d’une façon de vivre, avec aucune avenue pour contester ces problèmes à l’intérieur des institutions du pouvoir. Les portes sont fermées. Les futurs sont volés.

Les nouveaux et nouvelles appauvri-e-s, les étudiant-e-s dont les espoirs ont été anéantis par une vie de dette et de chômage, les vétérans retournant d’une guerre infernale pour être rejetés, les travailleurs et travailleuses faisant face à une augmentation de la cadence de travail et aux coupures partout, les familles déplacées et attaquées par la réaction anti-immigrante, les malades sans accès aux soins, les gens forcés hors de leur domicile : nous sommes les indigné-e-s. Alors que les restructurations économiques créent de nouvelles opportunités de piler la richesse par-dessus plus de richesse et d’entasser la pauvreté par-dessus la pauvreté, de nouveaux et nouvelles protagonistes sortent dans les rues. La classe ouvrière se recompose : les puissant-e-s forcent des changements dans nos vies, et nous répondons avec de nouvelles luttes, de nouvelles revendications et de nouveaux rapports sociaux – un nouveau combat social.

A movement is born. Across America and around the world occupations have spread. We witness the beauty and struggle of a new protagonist joining the fight against oppression and exploitation.

Crisis feeds conflict: the pillaging of communities galvanizes people from Greece and Chile, Bangladesh and China, the United States and Spain. A massive wave has been unleashed of impoverishment, unemployment, austerity, and stealing of resources by capital, governments, and the wealthy. We face loss of our jobs, homes, and way of living, with no avenue for contesting these problems within the institutions of power. Doors are being closed. Futures are being stolen.

The newly impoverished, students whose hopes have been dashed by a life debt and joblessness, veterans returned from hellish war to be discarded, workers facing speed-ups and cuts across the board, families displaced and attacked by anti-immigrant reaction, the sick without access, people forced out of their homes: we are the indignants. While economic restructuring creates new opportunities to pile wealth upon wealth and heap poverty on poverty, new protagonists come forth. The working class recomposes: they force changes on our lives, and we respond with new struggles, new demands, and new relationships – a new social protagonism.

Workers, the unemployed, and oppressed classes have taken to the streets across North Africa and the Mediterranean. The fate of these struggles lies in the hands of the exploited and their movements. If these struggles remain isolated however, they will perish.The strongest solidarity we have is our own power, where we are strongest. We need to organize as workers and the unemployed in our communities and bring our fights to bear on our State and our ruling classes, many of whom are the same people North Africans are fighting now. read full story / add a comment

Een natuurramp is op Haiti neergedaald, waarvan we op dit moment alleen de oppervlakte van de gevolgen zien. Het Haitische volk zal mogelijk gedurende decennia vechten om hun levens en hun huizen opnieuw op te bouwen, in het licht van de ineenstorting zonder precedent, zowel fysiek als sociaal. Toch is deze ramp onnatuurlijk, ondanks de onvoorspelbaarheid van aardbevingen, een wangedrocht van onze tijd. [Français] [English] read full story / add a comment

Μια φυσική καταστροφή έχει επέλθει πάνω στην Αϊτή της οποίας προς στιγμήν βλέπουμε μόνο την επιφάνεια. Ο λαός της Αϊτής θα αγωνιστεί για να ξαναφτιάξει τη ζωή του και τα σπίτια του, ενδεχομένως για δεκαετίες υπό το φως μιας άνευ προηγουμένου πτώσης, τόσο φυσικής όσο και κοινωνικής. Ωστόσο, παρά το απρόβλεπτο των σεισμών, αυτή η καταστροφή είναι ένα αφύσικο τερατούργημα της εποχής μας. Η έκταση των ζημιών εξαιτίας του σεισμού είναι μέρος του κόστους της ανεξέλεγκτης εκμετάλλευσης που σε κάθε βήμα βάζει το κέρδος πάνω από την υγεία, την ασφάλεια και την ευημερία του λαού της Αϊτής. read full story / add a comment

Una catastrofe naturale si è abbattuta su Haiti, della cui portata ancora intravediamo solo la superficie. Gli haitiani dovranno lottare per ricostruire le loro vite e le loro case, forse per decenni considerando l'entità senza precedenti del crollo, sia fisico che sociale.

A natural disaster has descended upon Haiti whose scope we only are seeing the surface of at this time. The Haitian people will be struggling to rebuild their lives and their home possibly for decades in light of unprecedented collapse, both physical and social. Yet despite the unpredictability of earthquakes, this disaster is unnatural, a monstrosity of our time.
