El carácter dictatorial del régimen de Erdoğan ha quedado al desnudo, así como la complicidad de las potencias, que necesitan a los kurdos en la lucha contra el Estado Islámico, pero que hacen la vista gorda a los zarpazos brutales del Califa de Ankara. read full story / add a comment

Quindici anni fa, quasi nello stesso giorno (rispettivamente 9 e 11 febbraio 2001), se ne andavano due tra i maggiori esponenti dell'antifascismo militante nel Vicentino.
Il Tar, Ferruccio Manea, a 86 anni; Ferrer Visentini a 90 anni.
Quella della morte quasi sincronica non è stata l'unica coincidenza. Le loro vite in qualche modo si erano già incrociate.
Nato a Trieste, Ferrer Visentini (il nome gli era stato in memoria del pedagogista libertario fucilato a Barcellona nel 1909) mi aveva raccontato con partecipazione, direi anche con orgoglio, di aver conosciuto il fratello maggiore del Tar, Ismene Manea, destinato a perire tragicamente nel 1944 per mano dei nazisti. Avevano combattuto fianco a fianco come volontari internazionali in difesa della Repubblica contro i franchisti (fronte di Caspe e battaglia dell'Ebro).
Sia Ferruccio che Ferrer parteciparono attivamente alla Resistenza, ma in seguito i loro destini personali erano stati diversi: il Tar quasi emarginato per il suo “estremismo” (tacciato a volte di “anarchismo”), Visentini rispettato militante del PCI e consigliere comunale dal 1956 al 1970.
Il saluto al Tar lo avevano dato gli antifascisti dell'Alto Vicentino al Circolo Operaio di Magrè di Schio mentre Ferrer Visentini era stato ricordato nella storica Loggia del Capitanio, in piazza dei Signori. Le note dell'Internazionale e di Bella ciao avevano accompagnato l'ultimo viaggio di entrambi.

Donald Trump and those who follow him have shown certain specific traits of a fascist movement. Does that make Trump or the Trumpets into fascists? What is fascism? How is it counterposed to bourgeois democracy? Is there likely to be a fascist movement in the U.S.A.? How do we fight fascism? read full story / add a comment

Δεν ξεχνάμε τη δολοφονία του Παύλου Φύσσα στις 18 Σεπτέμβρη 2013 στο Κερατσίνι. Δεν ξεχνάμε τη δολοφονία του Σαχτζάτ Λουκμάν στα Πετράλωνα. Ούτε το βάναυσο ξυλοδαρμό των αιγύπτιων ψαράδων στο Πέραμα και τις εκατοντάδες δολοφονικές επιθέσεις σε βάρος προσφύγων και μεταναστών που πραγματοποιούνται με την κάλυψη ή/και τη συνοδεία της αστυνομίας. Δεν ξεχνάμε τις δεκάδες θρασύδειλες επιθέσεις σε καταλήψεις, σε αυτοδιαχειριζόμενους χώρους και στέκια γειτονιάς, τις μαχαιριές σε αναρχικούς, αριστερούς και αντιφασίστες αγωνιστές. read full story / add a comment

All efforts must now be made to bring the unions into the struggle. This will be difficult, though, due to the cowardly nature of the union bureaucracy. The message must be got through to all unionists that racism is fatal to working class solidarity. read full story / add a comment

La escandalosa escala de la purga no se condice con la realidad de un golpe improvisado y con escaso apoyo, sino que responde a la existencia de un plan prefabricado para comenzar una reingeniería profunda del Estado turco, que refleje las nuevas hegemonías, que lo aleje del modelo secular en que se fundó la república en la década de 1920 y lo acerque al modelo del neo-sultanato defendida por el sector islamista político del bloque dominante. read full story / add a comment

1980 darbesinden bu yana, bu topraklardaki devlet varlığının kaçınılmaz bir siyasi gerçeği olan darbe, 36 yıl sonra 15 Temmuz’unu 16’sına bağlayan gece vuku buldu. İstanbul ve Ankara merkezli gerçekleşen askeri hareketlilikte pek çok devlet binası bir süreliğine bloke edildi. Ankara’da savaş uçaklarının havalanması ve İstanbul’da köprülerin askerler tarafından trafiğe kapatılmasıyla başlayan darbe, Genelkurmay Başkanı’nın rehin alınması, sokaklarda tank ve silah seslerinin yükselmesiyle devam etti. MİT Müsteşarlığı binasından TBMM’ye birçok devlet binası F16’lar ve helikopterlerle vuruldu; pek çok yerde asker ve polis arasında silahlı çatışmalar yaşandı. Bu gelişmeleri izleyen süreçte devlet televizyonunun yayını kesilerek canlı yayında “Yurtta Sulh Konseyi” imzası taşıyan darbe bildirisi okundu. “5 saatlik darbe” sona erdiğinde yüz üzerinde asker, 80 üzerinde polis ve 80 üzerinde darbe karşıtı protestocu öldü. Aralarında çok sayıda yüksek rütbeli komutanın bulunduğu 2839 asker gözaltına alındı. read full story / add a comment

The coup, which has been an inevitable reality of the state presence in this geography since the military coup of 1980, arose after 36 years, on the night of July 15. Many state buildings were blocked for a few hours during the military mobilisation based in Istanbul and Ankara. The coup started with flypast of fighter jets in Ankara and blocking of bridges in Istanbul by soldiers, and continued with taking hostage of chief of general staff and tank noise and gun shots in the streets. Many state buildings were shot by F16s and helicopters including the parliament building and the headquarters of National Intelligence Organisation; There were clash of arms in many places between soldiers and police. Following the events, national state television broadcast was cut and the coup declaration signed 'Peace at Home Council'' was read. When the ''5 Hour Coup'' ended, more than one hundred soldiers, more than eighty police officers and more than eighty anti-coup protesters died. 2839 soldiers, among them many high ranked ones, were taken into custody. read full story / add a comment

La tentative de coup d'État, mal ficelée et ratée, a été décrite par le président turc Erdoğan "comme un don de Dieu". Certains sont mêmes allés jusqu'à dire que le président turc avait finalement eu son "incendie du Reichstag", qu'il va utiliser comme un prétexte parfait pour continuer à imposer son projet autoritaire et réduire au silence les voix critiques dans le pays comme à l'étranger. read full story / add a comment

La pobremente organizada y fallida intentona de golpe militar, fue descrita por el presidente turco Erdoğan “como un regalo de Dios”. Hay quienes han dicho que el presidente turco por fin ha tenido su propio “incendio del Reichstag”, el cual utilizará como la excusa perfecta para seguir imponiendo su proyecto autoritario y silenciar las voces críticas tanto en lo doméstico como en el exterior.Erdoğan hoy se cree invencible, pero su victoria es pírrica –su barco está en franco naufragio, y esta intentona golpista fue solamente un síntoma más de esa crisis. read full story / add a comment

The umbrella organisation of the Kurdish movement, the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) Executive Council Co-Presidency, has released a statement about last night's coup attempt in Turkey.

The statement said; “There has been a coup attempt by persons whose identity and purpose is yet not clear. This attempt comes just before the military council meeting, where Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was reportedly going to assign generals close to himself to the army's top tier. Another striking dimension of the coup attempt is that it comes at a time when discussions about the fascist AKP government's foreign policy, were taking place.” read full story / add a comment

Η Ευρώπη παρακολουθεί μία επικίνδυνη αναβίωση των φασιστικών και ρατσιστικών λαϊκίστικων κομμάτων και οργανισμών. Στις επόμενες εβδομάδες θα δημοσιεύσουμε μια σειρά άρθρων που θα αναλύουν την κλίμακα της απειλής. Θα εστιάσουμε σε χώρες όπου τα φασιστικά και ρατσιστικά κόμματα έχουν σημειώσει σημαντική εκλογική ή και οργανωτική εξέλιξη. Υπάρχουν μικρές φασιστικές ομάδες που λειτουργούν σε αρκετές άλλες χώρες, αλλά με μικρά νούμερα και μικρή επίδραση. Σκοπεύουμε να μελετήσουμε ξεχωριστά την κατάσταση στη Ρωσία και να μην την περιλάβουμε εδώ. read full story / add a comment

Il 25 aprile 1945 il Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale Alta Italia proclamava l'insurrezione in tutti i territori italiani ancora occupati dai nazifascisti.
Nel giro di 6 giorni, quasi tutta l'Italia settentrionale era stata liberata dai partigiani.
Così il Primo Maggio si festeggiarono contemporaneamente la liberazione e la giornata internazionale dei lavoratori, read full story / add a comment
