We present these texts which are relevant in several ways.

On the one hand, "7 letters from FAU" which talk about the importance and decisiveness of the Political Organisation in the struggle, where it is stressed that it is not possible to aspire to a revolutionary outcome of the political accumulation of the popular struggles without such a specific organisation. Political organisation which is not a vanguard but a driving force which pushes and contributes to the popular struggles, but which has as its mission an important area of specific tasks to develop in a process of such characteristics.

These texts date from around 1968 to 1970 and in them we will see these concepts clearly expressed, through the sieve of the language of that time.

Secondly, two "tendency" materials are published, both at trade union and student level, setting out the need to deepen the struggle and also explaining what the unity of the trade union movement is for and what role a student tendency should play.

We hope that both materials will be useful to anarchist comrades all over the world. Health and Up with those that Struggle!

İktidar Covid19 önlemleri adı altında ucu açık ve anlaşılmaz yasaklar açıkladı. Salgın süreci boyunca göstermelik önlemleri uygulayan iktidar gerçekçi önlemleri uygulamadı. Önlemleri fakir ve zengin yaşamını ayrıştırarak uyguladı. Bu ayrıştırma sadece ekonomik değildi, tarafı olduğu kültürel kesimleri kayırmasıyla sosyal bir ayrıştırmaya da dönüştü. Başkanın açıkladığı son salgın yasaklarında da bu açıkça ortadadır. Atölyelerde, fabrikalarda, inşaatlarda işçiler çalışıyorken patronlar izolasyonlarını sürdürmekteler. Kahvehaneler ve kıraathaneler kapanıyorken AVM’ler açık kalıyor, dip dibe yapılan ibadetler sürüyor. Bunlar bize, yapılan bu ayrıştırmayı apaçık göstermektedir. Bu yasakların Covid19 ile alakası yoktur. Yasaklar, krizle karşı karşıya kalan toplumun kontrolünü sağlamak ve krizi anlaşılamaz, algılanamaz kılarak saklama çabasının bir ürünüdür.

The Power announced open-ended and incomprehensible prohibitions under the name of Covid19 measures. The Power, which applied the ostensible measures during the pandemic, did not implement realistic measures. It applied the measures by separating the lives of the poor and rich. This segregation was not only economic, but also turned into a social segregation by favoring it’s own cultural segments. This is evident in the latest pandemic prohibitions announced by the president. While workers are working in workshops, factories and constructions, bosses maintain their isolation. While coffeehouses and cafes are closing, shopping malls remain open, and the religious services continue their operation. These clearly show us this segregation. These restrictions have nothing to do with Covid19. Prohibitions are a product of the effort to control the society that is faced with the crisis and to hide the crisis by making it incomprehensible and imperceptible. ... read full story / add a comment

Es claro que esta siempre fue una disputa interburguesa, entre dos facciones de derecha, cada cual representando sus propios intereses y agendas políticas. Y en esta contienda perdió el que tuvo menos respaldo estratégico. La caída de Vizcarra demuestra un Ejecutivo debilitado y carente de gobernabilidad, pues —entre otras cosas— nunca tuvo una bancada parlamentaria que lo respalde y frene las arremetidas del Legislativo que sí logró consensuar su ataque en bloque bajo la desgastada argucia de la «lucha anticorrupción», cuando siempre estuvo claro que en ambos poderes del Estado el nivel de putrefacción es realmente alarmante. Ahora, con la toma del poder de Manuel Merino, quien está abocado a convocar un gabinete ministerial acorde a sus socios parlamentarios, empieza una nueva repartija del poder, que no quepa ninguna duda. ... read full story / add a comment

In South Africa over the last few years we have seen many struggles within workplaces and communities. A feature of these struggles, however, has been the difficulty in maintaining and building organisations that are long-lasting and that are also inclusive and participatory. In these struggles, new layers of activists have emerged. This booklet is a tool to introduce these new activists to what capitalism is, how it functions and in whose interests, how society is divided into different classes with differences in power and interests, what role the state plays, and how the state functions in the interests of capitalism and the ruling class. ... read full story / add a comment

Se cumplen 26 años de la masacre del Hospital Filtro, aquella durísima represión que costó la vida de Fernando Morroni y Roberto Facal. Represión que castigó con tal saña la solidaridad del pueblo uruguayo con un conjunto de exiliados vascos. Cientos de heridos -algunos de gravedad- y detenidos y la constatación que la represión estaba ahí, a 9 años de finalizada la dictadura, agazapada para cuando fuera necesario utilizarla para defender los intereses de los de arriba. ... read full story / add a comment

La pandemia determinata dal virus Covid-19 sembra, almeno sul continente europeo, in via di attenuazione benché continuino ad apparire sempre nuovi focolai di infezione e sul futuro penda l’incertezza di una possibile e paventata nuova ondata nel periodo autunnale; al momento la diffusione del virus colpisce, sia per contagiati che per vittime, soprattutto il continente americano con la massima espansione proprio in quei paesi come gli Usa ed il Brasile dove i rispettivi presidenti ne avevano minimizzato la pericolosità in maniera superficiale ed irresponsabile. E ovunque la gestione della pandemia aggrava le condizioni delle classi subalterne e delle categorie sociali più deboli. ... read full story / add a comment

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it often seems as if we are stuck in a dystopian movie. In this movie death is stalking us, hospitals overflow with the sick and dying, and the grave diggers are at work. We know more victims will soon die as the folly of millions of workers being forced by circumstances to return into cramped mines, banks, factories and warehouses is so evident. Those that are no longer needed by the billionaires who own the companies are marshalled daily by the police and military dishing out violence and on occasion, humiliation, to underline their power and the power of their bosses. It all feels so unreal, a ghastly movie playing out before our eyes.

The trauma of it all has led many people to seek solace in fiction or conspiracy theories. It can be morbidly comforting to believe in fantasy in times of strife. We, however, fall into such fantasies at our own peril. When we try and deny reality and escape from it – even if we are traumatised – we are left powerless. We miss that all of this has to do with the workings and power relations that define our everyday lives – the very workings and power relations of capitalism and state systems. ... read full story / add a comment
