Ce qui suit est un récit de la situation actuelle dans le sud et dans le centre de l’Irak. Cela fait plus d’une semaine [Note du Traducteur : plus de deux semaines à l’heure de la traduction] que des manifestations et des protestations de masse se tiennent contre le gouvernement central et les autorités locales, mais également contre les compagnies pétrolières. Cet article tente d’expliquer brièvement la situation. A lire aussi : Des nouvelles des manifestations à Bagdad et dans le sud de l’Irak : ça continue! read full story / add a comment

The context we now exist in is one that is defined by glaring contradictions everywhere, its fractured, changing, unstable and confrontational. It is a time of despair, but also pockets of hope. On the one hand, a spectre is haunting us, but it is not the one that Marx spoke of. Rather an authoritarian and extreme right wing form of capitalism, last seen on extensive scale in the 1930s, is rearing its hideous ghost-like head. This right wing extremism has become an ‘acceptable’ form of politics amongst some people in the context of the unresolved capitalist crisis. It is the ‘solution’ amongst sections of ruling classes in many countries to a crisis that is not going away. As part of this, many states are passing laws attacking basic rights that oppressed classes have won through decades and even centuries of struggle (including in South Africa); states are beginning to bare their teeth more often rather than being in a position to rule by consent; toxic nationalisms based on exclusionary racial, ethnic and religious identities (including within sections of the population in South Africa) have once again become acceptable and even embraced by sections of the population (giving rise to the likes of Trump, Le Pen and Duterte and xenophobia and other ills in South Africa); and bigotry and hate are back. Yet there is also hope. In many parts of the world, sections of the working class have fought back. This has seen movements of protests in some parts, attempts to revive unions in others and in some cases the re-emergence of left political parties and projects. But it is also a restructured working class, a working class that is fundamentally different from even the 1970s. New or different forms of organising happen next to the old. It is thus also a working class in which the past weighs like a nightmare on the present in organisational terms; experimenting with the new and different ways of organising, but also falling back into the old. read full story / add a comment

A call for socialist Left unity is heard widely today in South Africa, but is usually taken as a call for unity of praxis (unity in theoretical programme and action). This is sometimes framed as transcending old divides (these seen as outdated, divisive or dismissed as dogmatic), and sometimes as unity in order to have action (rhetorically set up as the opposite of “arm chair” theory).

Estamos em plena crise política, uma crise que abala as instituições da chamada "Nova república", fruto da transição inaugurada a partir da Abertura Lenta, Gradual e Segura de tipo GGG (Geisel e Golbery, elogiada por Gaspari) e garantida pela Anistia, Ampla, Geral e Irrestrita - na sua segunda versão e através de jurisprudência obtida com o fim do AI-5. Na sequência, o Brasil quebrou mas, simultaneamente, a classe trabalhadora aparecia na cena política através do reformismo radical, então de base e legítimo. Graças a essa luta social intensa - mesmo que discorde das opções, as quais sigo em discordância - tivemos a versão substantiva da transição do autoritarismo na metade dos anos '80, através da Constituição de 1988. Pois bem, é esta versão de democracia liberal com traços oligárquicos e elementos, contraditoriamente, substantivos e representados até há pouco, na tentativa de controle do orçamento público que está em jogo. E estamos perdendo o jogo. read full story / add a comment

Για εμάς, ως αντιφασίστες/ριες, η μνήμη των σφαγών της Σρεμπρένιτσας και των σχέσεων που είχε το ελληνικό κράτος και η ελληνική κοινωνία - άμεσα και έμμεσα- με τις κτηνωδίες που πραγματοποιήθηκαν στη Βοσνία, έχει μεγάλη πολιτική σημασία. Γιατί, 23 χρόνια μετά, οι ηθικές και ιδεολογικές προϋποθέσεις που οδήγησαν στην υποστήριξη των σφαγών εις βάρος των μουσουλμάνων της Βοσνίας είναι ακόμη εδώ. Τα εθνικιστικά συλλαλητήρια που διοργανώνονται στην Θεσσαλονίκη και αλλού για την υποτιθέμενη ελληνικότητα της Μακεδονίας, οι αναφορές σχεδόν του συνόλου του πολιτικού φάσματος για την ύπαρξη μουσουλμανικών τόξων, ο διάχυτος αντιτουρκισμός και οι άμεσες διαπλοκες μέσω του αντιιμπεριαλισμού μεγάλου κομματιού της ελληνικής αριστεράς με τον εθνικισμό φανερώνουν ότι, τα χίλια πρόσωπα του ελληνικου εθνικισμού παραμένουν ακόμη εδώ. read full story / add a comment

En Cauca, dentro de las mismas tierras liberadas que han dado luz de resistencia durante los últimos años, cientos de organizaciones sociales, grupos universitarios, feministas, sindicalistas, campesinas y campesinos, ecologistas, entre otros, acudimos a la cita propuesta por las guerreras y guerreros milenarios que han protegido este territorio y que, desde hace más de cuatro años se han erguido frente al modelo de despojo y violencia implantado desde la Colonia, hoy expresado en los monocultivos cañeros extendidos por una vasta región del Norte del Departamento. read full story / add a comment

En los últimos días, se registra un incremento sustancial de las amenazas y asesinatos de líderes y lideresas sociales en todo el país. Desde la elección presidencial del pasado 17 de junio se han asesinado 22 líderes sociales, una persona cada día[1]. El panorama es bastante gris, pues mientras los grandes medios de comunicación se han dedicado a cubrir ampliamente el mundial de fútbol y el gobierno nacional continúa negando la sistematicidad de este fenómeno[2] en un intento por invisibilizar los patrones comunes de la masiva vulneración a los derechos humanos que se está produciendo en el país, tras bambalinas se encuentra la cruda realidad que está marcada por el asesinato, solo en lo corrido de 2018, de 123 líderes y lideresas sociales según las últimas cifras de Indepaz.[3] read full story / add a comment

Yine bir seçim ve yine bir seçim öncesi gerilimli günleri bu coğrafyada yaşayanlar olarak deneyimlemekteyiz. Yaşadığımız coğrafyada ya da diğer coğrafyalarda, seçim denilen siyasi sürecin yarattığı şey, oluşan yeni “gerçekliğin” bir sonraki seçimlere kadar süreceğidir. Siyasal iktidarın şekillendiği seçimler sürecinde, seçimler sosyal ve ekonomik gerçeklikte şekillenir, toplumun iktidarını isteyen tarafların bireye sunduğu vaatlerle geçen bu seçim gerçekliği, iktidarın kazanılmasıyla sonlanacaktır.
Seçim ismi verilen siyasal sürecin, toplumun sosyal ve ekonomik ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması için organize edildiği iddiasının gerçek olup olmadığını soru ve cevaplarla tartışarak içselleştirmeliyiz. Çünkü katılacağımız ya da katılmayacağımız seçim süreci gerçekliğinin iddiası şudur; katılmamamız durumunda toplumun sosyal ve ekonomik işleyişine dair söz söyleyemeyiz.
Peki katılmamız durumunda bu işleyişe dair söz söyleyebilir miyiz? Toplum içinde siyasal etken bir birey olmanın şartı olarak karşımıza konan seçimlerin dışında başka bir yol yordam yok mu? Toplumun bütünlüğünü önemseyen, sosyal ve ekonomik kararlarının bir parçası olan, adalet ve özgürlüğü sağlayan bir birey olmanın tek yol yordamı seçimlerde seçmen olmak mı?
Sorular ve cevaplarıyla, Haziran 2018 seçimlerinde seçmen olup olmama, oy kullanıp kullanmama şeçimini yapmak için yani gerçek seçimi yapmak için siyasal süreci, bu süreçte olanları ve olasılıkları değerlendirelim. read full story / add a comment

Ecology is one of the three pillars of the paradigm of Democratic Confederalism, the political-theoretical concept of the Kurdish Freedom Movement. Besides democracy and gender liberation, ecology has been mentioned explicitly as a dimension in this concept since 2005. However to date, ecology is less discussed and practiced than the two other pillars. read full story / add a comment
