Le gouvernement français a publié les ordonnances réformant le Code du travail le 31 août. La quasi-totalité des 36 mesures mises en avant par le ministère du Travail est au bénéfice du patronat. Une petite révolution à un mois de la commémoration du centenaire de la révolution russe. Analyse par un camarade syndicaliste et libertaire (republiée depuis le site Rapports de Force).

Renzi è caduto. Le sue politiche no. E’ sempre più urgente recuperare capacità di coalizione e di lotta alla base nei luoghi di lavoro e nel territorio, ri-costruire strumenti e metodi di ampia partecipazione dal basso, forme di solidarietà autogestite, forme di vertenzialità conflittuali che facciano crescere coscienza e progettualità.

It was long ago stated that capitalism came into the world dripping in blood and dirt, from every pore, from head to toe. While it has demonstrated that it won’t simply collapse under its own weight, the recent goings-on around the current capitalist crisis have shown that with age it has become even more hideous. Capitalism is now rank with massive state intervention required to simply keep its rotting body moving: through states propping up the financial sector and deepening the colossal attack on the working class.

The goings-on that have once again highlighted capitalism’s depravity, are the turmoil – starting in China – that has occurred over the last few weeks on stock markets; including the underlying causes that led to it, and the actions that the ruling classes have taken since then to try and end it, or at least alleviate it.

The recent volatility in world stock markets erupted in earnest in June 2015. In June, the Chinese stock markets began a plunge that has frightened the ruling classes (capitalists, top state officials and politicians) across the globe. This plunge has not yet ended, and so far the Shanghai Stock Market has lost 40% of its value. In the wake of this, stock markets from New York to London have reeled; leading to a roller coaster ride of uncertainty.

Based on a talk given in Kenya, this article argues that, while official minimum wages and other improvements are welcome gains, they are inadequate in an exploiting system based on the rule of the few. It is necessary to pose the more ambitious demand for a 'living wage,' set by the working class, and to enforce this by building powerful, autonomous, self-managed, conscientised class-struggle movements.

Rejecting 'privilege' theories, it argues that all sectors of the working class benefit from demands and campaigns that secure equal rights, equal treatment and equal wages, against divide-and-rule systems, and in which strikers build alliances with communities and users. A 'living wage' movement of this type should be located in a larger project of building a popular counter-power that can resist, and then topple, ruling class power.

This Saturday morning Cypriot people woke up to the news that they were about to be robbed. In a pre-planned ambush scheduled to coincide with a local bank holiday weekend, Eurozone apparatchiks threatened to bankrupt the Cypriot banking system by immediate withdrawal of the ECB liquidity support.

The "deal" forced on the Cypriots by Frankfurt means a "bail-out" of the banks to the tune of 17 billion euros, roughly equivalent to the annual GDP of the Republic that makes up the EU-recognised part of this divided island. But only 10 billion will be provided by the ECB and IMF, the other 7 billion will be taken by a combination of a 1.4 billion privatisation programme, but in bulk by robbing anyone with a bank account in Cyprus.

tyl.png imageFrom libertarian communism to corporate socialism Dec 20 22:58 by Miguel G. Gómez 10 comments

Alasbarricadas - We echo this historical review on the various positions that the CNT-FAI took along the Spanish Revolution. It is not usually easy to understand the complexity of a historical moment in which so many things were happening at the same time. We consider basic to understand the tactical ups and downs of any revolutionary movement in a historical moment in order to be able to learn something for our future struggles.

The article is not an academic one, but it sheds light on some little-known facts about how the CNT navigated 1938, in terms of tactics and strategy. This period has usually been completely erased, automatically branded as obscure, shameful, claudicating or bureaucratic without any attempt to understand what the libertarian organisations were actually doing. It is assumed that the drift of the war and, as the article says, the pessimism that surrounded the organisation from mid-1937 onwards, resulted in a shift in the strategic line of the libertarian movement to approaches as different from libertarian communism as could be the "trade union state" or corporate socialism.

We know that this article is the tip of the iceberg of a world that cannot be explained in a struggle of the good guys against the bad guys. Everything is full of nuances. We miss an explanation on the opposition to this shift. But to have treated that opposition as it deserves would have diverted the article from conveniently (and at a manageable length) presenting us the official line of the Movimiento Libertario Español (MLE) of '37 and '38.

And by the way, even if this history presents us with an unclear evolution towards bureaucratism and centralism, we are still amazed at with the enormous capacity of those people who built up our organisations and managed the daily lives of millions of people. Because, it must be said, when there was supposedly no social revolution any more, there were still hundreds of thousands of people living in collectivisations and a large part of industry was still under workers' control.

Vietnam 2021, l’humeur général semble être à l’optimisme. La poursuite sans relâche d’une stratégie Zéro-Covid a reçu une approbation répandue autant à l’intérieur du pays qu’à l’international. L’économie a réussi à s’en tirer avec une croissance positive là où ses voisins ont souffert d’un déclin en raison de la pandémie. Mais en dessous de toutes ces fanfaronnades, quelqu’un aurait raison de sentir qu’il y a quelque chose qui cloche. Il y a ce sentiment tenace que personne ne semble être capable de mettre le doigt dessus. Presque comme s’il y avait un spectre qui hantait le Vietnam, le spectre du communisme – le vrai communisme, sans cloche, ni sifflet.

Mientras la burguesía se prepara para un nuevo plan de ajuste para salir de la crisis económica profundizando la precarización y explotación laboral, el movimiento obrero y popular se muestra ineficaz y replegado. La síntesis de situaciones que se presentan y desaprovechan en la coyuntura de negociación del salario mínimo sigue siendo excepcional, y hay pocos momentos de mayor y más general politización clasista, sentido de comunidad y crítica antigubernamental entre una clase trabajadora precarizada y dividida, que en su mayoría no participa de negociaciones sectoriales o convenciones colectivas de trabajo y por lo tanto tiene en la negociación del salario mínimo su única instancia reivindicativa. Aprovechar esta coyuntura en un sentido clasista y libertario sigue siendo una tarea urgente, y hacer de esto un elemento clave, para resistir mejor la ofensiva patronal en curso.

La situation sanitaire que nous vivons actuellement est dramatique. Pire qu’au printemps, des milliers de personnes mourront ou garderont des séquelles graves de leur infection au coronavirus, sans compter celles qui ne pourront pas être prises en charge pour d’autres pathologies. Cette crise sanitaire est doublée d’une crise sociale avec l’augmentation des licenciements. Comme si aucune leçon n’avait été tirée du précédent confinement, Macron annonce le 28 octobre un reconfinement qui n’en est pas un mais plutôt un couvre-feu de la vie sociale.

Introdução do quarto e último artigo da série
Até este episódio viemos apelando para a narrativa de fábula macabra, pois seria um risco jurídico muito grande escrever que a Terra é plana e dar nomes aos bois, incluindo sobrenomes e apelidos. Neste texto, a fábula só retorna na conclusão, e vamos nos valer do que circula de informação, conceitos e análises históricas recentes a respeito da complementaridade da economia política do crime, as estruturas de organizações criminosas como forma contemporânea de “acumulação selvagem” e os riscos reais consequentes da maximização dessas estruturas.

Pero lo que no está claro es que nos valga cualquier Europa. Estamos ante una Europa sin solidaridad, sin fiscalidad común, sin un Derecho del Trabajo que sirva como suelo legislativo, sin una defensa soberana e independiente. Pertenecemos a una Europa que desoye las llamadas a compartir la deuda, a la construcción de una renta básica de ciudadanía, a una profundización democrática y a una apuesta federal para el continente, que sólo puede estar basada en la convergencia hacia arriba de las condiciones de vida de los trabajadores europeos.

Em uma data forjada no calor da luta da classe trabalhadora, símbolo da vitória que foi a consolidação da jornada de 8 horas de trabalho diário, hoje somos obrigados a assistir às centrais sindicais brasileiras (aquelas mesmas que se consideram no direito de representar a classe e negociam às custas dos direitos das e dos trabalhadores) transformarem o luto e a luta em palanque político eleitoral. Seria patética, se não fosse trágica, a traição que CUT, CTB e demais centrais cometem ao chamar para discursar figuras como Rodrigo Maia, João Dória, David Alcolumbre, Fernando Henrique Cardoso e Dias Toffoli. Inimigos declarados das e dos de baixo, esses senhores foram e são responsáveis pelos mais diversos ataques feitos ao nosso povo, ataques esses que só nos trouxeram mais miséria e opressão. Tal desatino também serve para mostrar a incapacidade desses setores da esquerda que acreditam ainda na disputa pelo aparelho de Estado, disputa essa que os leva a cálculos sujos e os obriga a tentar alianças com o que há de mais podre na política profissional.

Recientemente el mercado petrolífero ha estallado, provocando una conmoción internacional justo en el momento más delicado, cuando la pandemia del Covid-19 tiene completamente paralizadas gran parte de las economías del mundo. Los precios del petróleo han caído acusadamente en el último mes, alcanzando a todos los segmentos del mercado y motivando el colapso de la capacidad de almacenaje que llevó a situar con precio negativo el barril de West Texas Intermediate (WTI), de referencia en Estados Unidos, el lunes 20 de abril.

Como planteamos oportunamente, podemos ver que la gran ganadora en el proceso de cambio de gobierno en nuestro país fue la institucionalidad. A pesar del nivel de pobreza, la inflación, devaluación, endeudamiento externo, pérdida del poder adquisitivo de la mayoría de la población, entre muchos otros saldos del gobierno macrista, la clase política supo llevar el “juego” a su propio campo y canalizar prácticamente todas las iniciativas y acciones en torno a la participación electoral y las expectativas puestas en el gobierno entrante. Así el gran vencedor de este proceso ha sido el Estado como estructura política de la clase dominante, uniendo los lados de “la grieta”, fortaleciendo la idea de que por “primera vez un gobierno no peronista termina su mandato”. En este sentido observamos, como rasgos fundamentales del nuevo período, intentos del Gobierno y sectores de la clase dominante de profundizar el control social y la institucionalización de las organizaciones populares en un contexto donde los de arriba siguen exigiendo más ajuste para los de abajo. Buscando también realizar cambios estructurales que atentan contra la lucha de clases, como el establecimiento de aumentos salariales por decretos gubernamentales, que no solo apuntan a poner un techo a los ingresos, sino que de fondo es una injerencia clara del Estado en la relación de fuerzas entre las patronales y los gremios, paralizando la dinámica sindical.

huelga3mexicolahuelgadecananeaenlinleodelpintorymuralistapabloohiggins.jpg imageA Case for Anarchist Class Analysis May 01 04:59 by Leroy Maisiri 0 comments

The purpose of this pamphlet is giving a coherent, comparative analysis on how anarchists and Marxists view the concept of “class,” and the political implications of each approach. Class is the nucleus of both Marxism and anarchism; however the conceptualisation of class is different for both. In pointing out these differences, it is my hope that I will convincingly show how and why the anarchist conceptualisation of class is more comprehensive and more useful, providing a more holistic analysis of many related aspects of class, and a more practical political guide. In particular, the anarchist approach – which stresses ownership and control of administration and coercion, not only means of production, as with Marxism – allows us to develop an effective analysis of why the state simply cannot be used to emancipate the popular classes i.e. the working class, the poor and the peasantry.

Em termos de política energética, o país foi “virado de cabeça para baixo”, e sem nenhum razão funcional a não ser a fabricação de uma crise. As reservas de Pré-Sal capacitam a Petrobrás para contrair empréstimos com carência centenária, significando a saúde financeira e a liquidez da empresa. Ou seja, a empresa jamais esteve “quebrada” e menos ainda com perda de faturamento.

Οι αναρχικοί καλούν τους εργαζομένους σε ανυποχόρητο και διαρκή αγώνα. Δεν αρκεί να γίνονται απεργίες που τελειώνουν σε μια ή δυο μέρες. Οι αναρχικοί πιστεύουν οτι πριν την τελική επανάσταση θα πρέπει να οργανωθούν μαζικές άγριες απεργίες που δεν θα έχουν ημερομηνία λήξης, δηλαδή γενικές απεργίες διαρκείας που θα κάνουν το καπιταλισμό και το κρατικό μηχανισμό να χάσει τόση πολύ δύναμη που θα είναι μετά εύκολο να αποτελειώσουμε το κράτος και το καπιταλισμό με μια μεγάλη επανάσταση που θα δημιουργήσει τη νέα κοινωνία.

La situación mundial y latinoamericana vienen expresando elementos de un nuevo período marcado por la profundización de la injerencia del imperialismo norteamericano en todos los niveles. En el plano comercial la prepotencia yanqui viene provocando la reacción de China en una guerra de aranceles a la importación sin precedentes. Esta disputa entre las dos potencias capitalistas más importantes del planeta, más allá del cambio de socios comerciales, representa un abrupto viraje hacia el proteccionismo imperialista que solo beneficia a las burguesías de ambos países.

textThe US-Turkey stand-off in context: the US and the weaponisation of global finance Sep 13 19:04 by VASSILIS K. FOUSKAS and BULENT GOKAY 0 comments

Mainstream pundits and media commentators see the crisis in US-Turkey relations and the collapse of the Turkish currency as a result of Turkey's refusal to hand over to the US an American Evangelical priest. The analysis here shows that the roots of the conflict in times of crisis, uncertainty and hegemonic instability, go far beyond political epiphenomena. The US, a declining superpower, is trying to use the power of the dollar as a weapon to punish Turkey and other disobedient actors in the international system.

Trata-se de restauração burguesa e liquidação da soberania popular e, por tabela, a soberania nacional.

Se viven jornadas intensas en nuestro país. En los últimos días una corrida cambiaria ha llevado el dólar a valores que pulverizan los ingresos populares e instalan un escenario de inestabilidad económica y política. Ante esta situación la respuesta del gobierno está supeditada a la reunión que tendrá el martes el Ministro de Economía Dujovne en Washington. Es decir, es claro el rol del gobierno en este momento de ser un simple mensajero de los poderes imperiales. La respuesta que va a obtener de los jefes del norte es previsible: es necesario para los sectores dominantes que se lleve adelante el ajuste de la manera más brutal e inmediata posible. No le basta al “mercado”, con la degradación de nuestros salarios y los miles de despidos; como tampoco le interesa, al parecer, la continuidad del proyecto político de cambiemos. La organización y la movilización popular son la única respuesta para poner un freno a la embestida neoliberal. Desde nuestra organización estaremos promoviendo desde nuestros espacios de inserción la unidad y la acción directa como respuesta inmediata ante el ajuste que seguramente tomará un impulso redoblado.

Παρά τις διαφορές και τα ψεγάδια τους, στηριζόμαστε πάνω τους. Χτίζουμε πάνω στο έργο τους.
