Solidaridad, Xile -Els recents esdeveniments que sacsegen a Veneçuela reflecteixen no solament el nivell d’ingerència que EUA manté a la regió o la tendència colpista omnipresent a l’elit veneçolana que practica amb detall el manual après de l’estratègia colpista a Xile.

The acceleration of the B.D.S. and international pressure to yield a bit cause near panic in the more ideological Zionist elite. Their response is the acceleration of suppression of the Palestinians and efforts to transfer them from key areas that the die hards dream of holding for ever. The Israeli state force back the irregular settlers and initiate lot of action itself. The harassment of the Ni'ilin, Nabi Saleh, and Qaddum who are not in the focus of international media is more vicious than ever. Bil'in, that earned international fame and attention of media, got partial immunity. The chanting of the demonstrators expressed the real opinion on the two states pseudo solution: "free free Palestine from the river to the sea". The "no state redNblack flags" which the anarchist-communist Ahdut members hold high in Bil'in demos are accepted without any reservation. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

Desde un tiempo a esta parte, los 'libertarios' se han ganado un modesto pero merecido espacio en la izquierda chilena, de la mano de diversas luchas que, entre otras cosas, los ha llevado el 2014 a la presidencia de la federación estudiantil más importante del país.
Con todo, es preciso tener en cuenta que, si se toma al conjunto de las organizaciones que se definen como libertarias, se trata de una identidad relativamente joven y en proceso de construcción, en buena medida dispersa en lo orgánico y que -se puede reconocer sin mayor dramatismo- no constituye ni de lejos una fuerza a la altura de los desafíos que se plantea cualquier movimiento de intención revolucionaria. read full story / add a comment

Δεν θα υποκύψουμε στην εθνικιστική μέθη. Στο διάολο το κράτος και τα “έθνη” τους, οι σημαίες και τα αξιώματά τους! Αυτός δεν είναι δικός μας πόλεμος, και δεν πρέπει να πάρουμε μέρος σε αυτόν, πληρώνοντας με το δικό μας αίμα τα παλάτια τους, τους τραπεζικούς λογαριασμούς τους και την απόλαυσή τους να κάθονται στις μαλακές καρέκλες των αρχών. Και αν τα αφεντικά στη Μόσχα, το Κίεβο, το Λβιβ, το Χάρκοβο, το Ντόνετσκ και τη Συμφερόπολη ξεκινήσουν αυτόν τον πόλεμο, καθήκον μας είναι να αντισταθούμε με όλα τα μέσα! Όχι πόλεμος μεταξύ των “εθνών”, όχι ειρήνη μεταξύ των τάξεων! read full story / add a comment

Article originally written in Spanish for the latest issue of the Chilean anarchist paper Solidaridad- The recent events that have shaken Venezuela reflect not only the level of interference that the USA maintains in the region or the pervasive coup-mongering trend in the Venezuelan elite which knows by heart the manual of the Chilean coup strategy. It primarily reflects the latent tensions in the Venezuelan model which should start to work themselves out from below, through struggle. Today more than ever we need critiques to be the essential tool of revolutionaries, rather than the attitude of passive approval of everything the Bolivarian leadership does.

Une page est tournée mais l’histoire de l’anarchisme au Québec n’est évidemment pas terminée. Les organisations sont des moyens et non des fins. Les personnes qui ont fait l’UCL continuent de s’impliquer dans plusieurs projets libertaires, dont les éditions Ruptures et le Collectif Emma-Goldman qui poursuit sur sa lancée. read full story / add a comment

The overthrow of the authoritarian regime of Yanukovych by no means signifies for us the end of our fight. New dictators hasten to take the place of the Party of Regions. They will not hesitate to rely not only on considerably weakened security agencies, but on the far right militants as well. The regime of police and prosecutorial arbitrariness deserved its overthrow unconditionally, but now there may come a time for a new terror that will justify itself ideologically.

Since 2009 the US state has been undertaking Quantitative Easing (QE), which has involved the US state creating $ 85 billion a month, effectively electronically printing money out of thin air, and linking this to the “purchasing” of paper assets like US government bonds and also more importantly mortgaged backed securities from banks, hedge funds, private equity firms, and asset management companies, which lost their value when the capitalist crisis hit hard in 2008. Through this, these financial institutions and banks have been given up to $ 85 billion a month for the last five years. Much of this money has been used by these corporations to increase their speculative activity, including speculating on government bonds sold by the likes of the South African, Brazilian, Argentinean, and Turkish states. Now the US state has been looking to start tapering QE and speculators as a result are exiting these government bond markets. As this article explores it will probably not be the ruling class (capitalists and top state officials) that suffer the worst convulsions associated with tapering, although they may be affected, but the working class in countries such as South Africa, Brazil, Indonesia, India, Argentina and Turkey. This article examines why and how this could take place, how ruling classes from different countries are trying to protect themselves; and why and how the working class will in all likelihood be worst hit. In order to, however, understand how the class war around QE is unfolding it is important first to look at the role states have played during the crisis, along with the competition that exists between states.

Le renversement du régime autoritaire de Ianoukovitch ne signifie nullement, pour nous, la fin de notre combat. Les nouveaux dictateurs s’empressent de prendre la place du Parti des Régions. Ils n’hésiteront à s’appuyer non seulement sur les agences de sécurité considérablement affaiblies, mais aussi sur les militants d’extrême droite. Le régime de l’arbitraire en matière de police et de poursuites judiciaires méritait absolument d’être renversé, mais maintenant, une nouvelle période de terreur, qui sera justifiée idéologiquement, peut arriver. read full story / add a comment

Hace dos semanas, Nosotros los Pobres tuvimos la buena fortuna de poder presentar un taller que contaba con dos integrantes del Frente de Estudiantes Libertarios de Chile, con quienes tuvimos un intercambio sumamente productivo de ideas. Pocos días después, llegue a ver una declaración publicada por el FEL en la cual afirmaban su apoyo al “pueblo venezolano “ en su lucha contra el golpismo. Como miembro de Nosotros los Pobres, quería compartir algunas reflecciones sobre lo que pasa en Venezuela, tanto ahora como a través de los últimos 15 años; espero que sean de interes para mis compañeros especifistas como también para las personas que generalmente se han preocupado por el caso venezolano. read full story / add a comment

Свержение авторитарного режима Януковича отнюдь не обозначает для нас конец борьбы. На смену Партии Регионов спешат новые диктаторы, которые будут без стеснения опираться не только на изрядно ослабевший силовой аппарат, но и на ультраправых боевиков. Режим милицейского и прокурорского беспредела безоговорочно заслуживал свержения, но сейчас может настать время нового террора, который теперь будет обосновывать себя идеологически.

Όσα διαδραματίζονται αυτές τις μέρες στην Ουκρανία είναι το ξέσπασμα μιας μακράς ιστορικά περιόδου, που περιλαμβάνει πολλές αντιθέσεις και συγκρουόμενες δυνάμεις. Δεν είναι ασήμαντο το γεγονός ότι όλα όσα βλέπουμε αυτές τις μέρες συμβαίνουν σε ένα κράτος του λεγόμενου δυτικού κόσμου. Όσοι δεν έχουν υπόψη τους το νήμα που συνδέει αυτές τις μέρες με το παρελθόν της Ουκρανίας ίσως και να ξαφνιάστηκαν για το πώς θα μπορούσε να ξεσπάσει ένας εμφύλιος πόλεμος, εκεί όπου οι πολιτισμένοι εξουσιαστές λύνουν συνήθως τις διαφωνίες τους στα διπλωματικά τραπέζια. Η αλήθεια όμως είναι ότι όλο το προηγούμενο διάστημα προετοιμαζόταν συστηματικά το ξέσπασμα που παρακολουθούμε. read full story / add a comment

Il movimento anarchico coreano voleva costruire una società anarchica indipendente ed autogovernata, un sistema cooperativo delle masse del popolo coreano. Volevano prendersi il progresso civile portato dalla classe capitalista per restituirlo alle classi popolari. In questo modo, la società capitalista e coloniale che esisteva allora in Corea (come in altri posti dell'Africa, dell'Asia e dell'Europa) sarebbe stata sostituita con una nuova società. Questa nuova società si sarebbe fondata sui principi di libertà ed uguaglianza che garantiscono l'autogoverno indipendente delle classi produttrici: la classe operaia e contadina.

I media israeliani sono del tutto ossessionati dalla escalation della campagna Boycott, Disinvest, Sanctions come se sapessero cose che non possono rivelare. Sia i sostenitori che i detrattori della fine dell'occupazione iniziano a ritenerla immanente in un futuro non lontano. Una componente del capitalismo israeliano, colpita dal boicottaggio e timorosa che possa andare sempre peggio ha iniziato a spingere per una accelerazione della fine dell'occupazione. Un centinaio di capitalisti israeliani si sono recati alla conferenza di Davos dove si sono ufficialmente costituti in organizzazione. Sul campo, sembra che le forze di stato israeliane stiano aumentando la repressione sulle lotte in corso così come stanno forzando gli sgomberi di interi villaggi da territori considerati strategici. Bil'in celebrerà il nono anniversario della sua lotta. [English] read full story / add a comment

Two weeks ago, Nosotros los Pobres had the good fortune to host a presentation by two members of the Federacion de Estudiantes Libertarias of Chile, with whom we had a very productive exchange of ideas. Soon after that, I saw a statement published by the FEL, commenting on the situation in Venezuela, in which they expressed sympathy for the “Venezuelan people” in their resistance against a coup d’etat. As a member of Nosotros los Pobres, I wanted to share some thoughts about Venezuela and what’s going on there, both now and for the last 15 years, and I hope they will be useful for especifista comrades as well as for concerned and informed people generally. read full story / add a comment
