ireland / britain / the left Thursday June 15, 2017 - 20:24 by Andrew Flood   image 4 images
Corbyn’s strong showing in the June 2017 UK elections has given a big morale boost to the left.  A considerable youth vote, self-mobilising in larger part as a reaction to the ‘me and mine’ selfish society revealed by the Brexit vote seriously set back Tory plans for a fresh wave of Brexit required austerity.  Activists used social networking to overcome what had previously been seen as an all powerful smear machine of the billionaire print press.  Very few outside the radical left expected this outcome, what drove it and more importantly where can it lead?
[ This is a long read so you can also listen to an audio of the text ] This piece is not going to answer that in terms of assumptions and assertions but as far as possible through hard numbers.  66% of 18-24 year old’s voted Labour, only a quarter of that, 18% voted Tory [p4].  27% of those 18-24 year olds said the NHS was the most important issue for them, even though they are least likely to need it [p40].  For the over 65 age group this was flipped, only 23% voted Labour and over twice as many (58%) voted Tory [p4].  In fact, given the way the UK election system works, if only 18-24 year olds had voted, Labour would have been heading for 500 seats.  If it had only been those over 65 voting the Tories would have had over 400 seats. ... read full story / add a comment

El presente texto se sitúa como un aporte, aunque corto y quizás limitado, a la necesidad que tenemos los sectores antiautoritarios de suplir esta deuda histórica y política que tenemos hace un par de años con las luchas en el país, que son atravesadas por un conflicto social y político que inició hace más de 5 siglos, pero que se materializó con una guerra civil de baja intensidad que lleva carcomiendonos un poco más de 50 años. No ahí que dejarlo de ver este como un aporte personal: muchas compañeras pueden tener su visión, más o menos lejana o cercana, sobre ciertos puntos, pero este texto quiere pretender ser una síntesis subjetiva de, con la mayor de las humildades, una suerte de conversaciones, definiciones y decisiones de quienes hemos venido acumulando desde abajo una nueva alternativa libertaria para estas tierras. ... read full story / add a comment

venezuela / colombia / imperialismo / guerra Tuesday June 13, 2017 - 02:14 by José Antonio Gutiérrez D.   image 1 image
Ahí donde las FARC-EP abandonaron los territorios, en el marco del proceso de paz adelantado con el gobierno (en el cual, dicho sea de paso, solamente los guerrilleros están cumpliendo su parte del acuerdo), las multinacionales han puesto la mira para adelantar actividades extractivistas y agroindustriales. En esos territorios existía no solamente insurgencia armada, sino también, por decirlo así, una insurgencia social: comunidades en resistencia contra la imposición del modelo neoliberal extractivista, que han buscado activamente participar en procesos amplios por una transformación de las estructuras políticas y económicas del país, así como en la creación de alternativas en su propia realidad local. ... read full story / add a comment

There are recent histories of the First International researched from anarchist perspectives, which balance the dominant Marxist narrative. Both sides had their strengths and weaknesses, but overall the anarchists had the better program. ... read full story / add a comment
