Το παρόν αποτελεί μέρος της μπροσούρας με τα κείμενα του Ομάρ Αζίζ (Συρία, 2011-2012). Πρόκειται για μερικές σκέψεις του εκδοτικού εγχειρήματος Hourriya. Αφήσαμε, επίτηδες, τον αναγνώστη αυτού του ντοκουμέντου να διαμορφώσει άποψη, απορίες, προβληματισμούς, χωρίς να προηγείται (όπως συνηθίζεται) η γνώμη των «εκδοτών», μεταφραστών ή μεγαλοσχημόνων πανεπιστημιακών. read full story / add a comment
international / anarchist movement / review Sunday May 13, 2018 14:41 by Wayne Price 1 image
Reviewing Lundstrom's "Anarchist Critique of Radical Democracy" leads to a discussion of what "radical democracy" could mean and whether anarchists should support it. Some anarchists oppose "democracy" of any sort because they regard "majority rule" as inherently oppressive and un-anarchist. This view is criticized and rejected in favor of a view of anarchism as democracy without a state. read full story / add a comment

There has been a lot of talk about the promise of a National Minimum Wage (NMW) in South Africa. This means wages cannot go below a certain level. But capitalists and politicians continue to eat the food of the workers, the poor and unfortunate. Why? In some cases, the NMW is an improvement – but generally, the NMW is not a “living wage,” meaning a wage on which you can live a decent life. Prices keep going up. This society is based on the maximization of profit, this is its logic, and this means wages are not linked to what the workers and poor need, but to what bosses and politicians need. Wages are a system of exploitation. We live a capitalist society of stress and fear and jealousy, rooted in a system of cheap black labour, and power and profits for the bosses and politicians. We need to fight for something more, take back our unions, and lay the groundwork for an anarchists society, with equality based on workers and community councils. read full story / add a comment

The remarkable “recovered factories” (fábricas recuperadas) movement saw hundreds of closed factories reopened by the workers, run democratically, creating jobs and helping working class and poor communities. It showed that there is only so much protesting can accomplish – at some point you have to create something new. But it also shows it is essential that such alternative sites of production form alliances with, and become embedded, in other movements of the working class, poor and peasantry, including unions and unemployed movements. This assists them in building larger struggles, and provides them with some protection from the capitalist market and the state. It is meanwhile important for unions and social movements to start to systematically develop alternatives to capitalist- and state- run social services and media. However, it is simply impossible to escape capitalism by creating cooperatives, social centres or alternative spaces –almost all means of production remain in ruling class hands, secured by force and backed by huge bureaucracies. It is essential to build a mass revolutionary front of unions and other movements, embracing popularly-run social services, media and production, and aiming at complete socialisation of the economy and of decision-making through a revolutionary rupture. read full story / add a comment
central america / caribbean / the left / non-anarchist press Thursday May 10, 2018 03:06 by Trevor Evans
In 1979 a popular uprising led by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) overthrew the U.S.-backed Somoza-family dictatorship which had ruled Nicaragua since the 1930s, and in 1984 the Sandinistas and their presidential candidate, Daniel Ortega, decisively won the country’s first free elections in decades. The Sandinistas introduced a major programme of land redistribution and a significant expansion of public health care and education services. However, initial gains were undermined under the impact of an armed opposition (‘the contra’) organized and promoted by the U.S., a collapse of international raw material prices in the early 1980s, and Sandinista policy errors, including an over-ambitious programme of large-scale investments. read full story / add a comment Σε αυτόν τον δρόμο, αντιλαμβανόμαστε το Σκαντζόχοιρο σαν το δοχείο που αποτυπώνει μια περιπέτεια παραγωγής ιδεών, στον βηματισμό ενδιάμεσων —ποτέ τελικών— πορισμάτων μιας διαρκούς αναζήτησης, με στόχο την απελευθέρωση της ανθρώπινης πράξης και επιθυμίας. Γι’ αυτό και στην φωλιά του Σκαντζόχοιρου ψάχνουμε να ζεστάνουμε κείμενα, ποιήματα και δημιουργίες που πάνω τους θα φέρουν ακόμα τα αίματα και τις αγωνίες αυτών που τα έφτιαξαν• που πάνω τους θα αποτυπώνεται η αβέβαιη πάλη των δημιουργών τους με τις λέξεις, τις ιδέες, τα χρώματα, τις μορφές. read full story / add a comment

El viernes 4 de Mayo la creciente lista de víctimas del movimiento popular en tiempos de “paz” se ha vuelto a engrosar. Jorge Vega Galvis recibió en las afueras de su hogar, en el barrio El Triunfo, en la Guadalosa, en las inmediaciones de Cartagena de Chairá, 7 tiros de pistola por parte de un grupo de encapuchados, que abandonaron el lugar dándolo por muerto. De milagro, llegó al centro de salud local, del cual fue enviado a Florencia debido a la gravedad de sus heridas. Hoy, cuatro días después de este atroz crimen, se encuentra todavía inconsciente y batallando por su vida.
