The terrain is changing beneath our feet. Since the collapse of the majority of the “official communist” regimes, the world has witnessed both events and ideas that have undermined the former dominant thinking within the left. The Zapatistas, Argentina in 2001, South Korean workers movements, Oaxaca in 2006, the struggles around anti-globalization, and Greece’s series of insurrectionary moments have increasingly presented challenges to traditional left answers to movements and organization. In previous eras Marxist-Leninism was the nexus which all currents by default had to respond to either in agreement or critique. Today, increasingly anarchist practices and theory have come to play this role.

As a member of an anarchist political organization, a friend once told me I in fact was practicing democratic centralism. This was perplexing, because the group had no resembling structures, practices, or the associated behaviors of democratic centralism. However, I was told that since we debated, came to common decisions, and acted on that collective democracy, we were in fact democratic centralist. This kind of productive confusion led to questions about the concept, and why the target of democratic centralism has shifted. This move, the shifting conceptual territory of core concepts of a certain orthodoxy, comes up repeatedly not only with democratic centralism, but also surrounding ideas like crisis, dialectics, the State, and class. The resulting cognitive dissonance caused me to investigate attempts at reinvigorating the concept of democratic centralism (democratic centralist revisionism), and understand truly what it is, where it came from, and how it has been practiced. ... read full story / add a comment

Non vedremo più uno degli uomini più importanti dell'ultimo decennio in America Latina. Impossibile negarlo. Non dubitiamo che a Chacao avranno brindato col lo champagne più caro. Noi non lo faremo, così come non lo faranno le masse popolari venezuelane. Non possiamo che sentirci loro solidali per il sentimento di dolore di fronte alla scomparsa fisica di chi negli ultimi anni è stato il loro leader indiscusso e referente per il movimento popolare di tutto un continente.

We will no longer see one of the most important men in Latin America in the last decade. It is impossible not to be somewhat shaken by this fact. We do not doubt that they will be celebrating with the most expensive champagne in Chacao. Naturally that is not our feeling, nor is it that of the Venezuelan masses. We can only feel solidarity with them in their sense of grief over the passing of one who in recent years was their undisputed leader and benchmark for the popular movement across the continent.

No tornarem a veure a un dels homes més importants per a Amèrica Llatina en l'última dècada. Impossible no esglaiar-se davant semblant fet. No dubtem que en Chacao s'haurà brindat amb el xampany més car. No és per descomptat nostre sentir, com no ho és per a les masses populars veneçolanes. No podem més que sentir-nos solidaris amb elles en el seu sentiment d'angoixa davant la desaparició física de qui durant els últims anys fos el seu líder indiscutit i referent per al moviment popular de tot el continent.

Hemos gastado nuestros días buscando la potencia entre las ruinas y la chatarra, pero finalmente nos hemos dado cuenta que no era ahí donde debíamos buscar. Lo que perseguimos no pude habitar en este mundo miserable que no es nuestro, y cuyo entorno es una “snuff-movie” eternamente en “play”. Su esbozo se encuentra acá, en una estrella a punto de estallar que cada uno de nosotros lleva sobre sus hombros. Podemos afirmar que ahora, que hemos perdido un mundo entero y maldecimos con toda la fuerza de nuestras almas, nos encontramos en disposición de conquistar uno nuevo, uno propio.

From 25th to 27th January 2013, ELAOPA returned to the city of its birth to commemorate ten years of the difficult but necessary journey to building people’s power in Latin America. It seeks to “maintain its independence in the face of political parties, the state and its governments, NGOs, companies and all those that, with authoritarian structures distant from our realities, come to tell us what we have to do.” ... read full story / add a comment

Clare Daly’s was elected to the Dáil in 2011. A founder member of the Socialist Party, Daly was initially hailed as a bright new voice for Ireland’s parliamentary Left. But in strange and controversial circumstances, Daly left the Socialist Party in 2012 on foot of her defence of fellow TD and tax fraud, Mick Wallace. In this first post from the Anarchist Lens, Daly’s about turn is examined from an anarchist point of view. ... read full story / add a comment

Los procesos que se están dando en otros países latinoamericanos hay que analizarlos siendo capaces de reconocer los espacios que abren, de visualizar sus límites y de calibrar lo que tienen de aplicable, y lo que no, a nuestra realidad nacional. Parafraseando a Mariátegui, no se trata de imitar, sino de construir creativamente un camino propio hacia el socialismo. ... read full story / add a comment
