The labour movement has been unable to de-link itself from its archenemy: capital. As its structures bureaucratise, as its leaders become career unionists, as it opens investment companies and pays staff increasingly inequitable salaries, it increasingly mirrors the very thing it is fighting. If the South African Federation of Trade Unions is to meet its promise, it must be fundamentally different from the organisation it was born out of.A federation will not liberate the class, nor will its affiliates; only the working class can liberate itself and it will never be able to do that as long as there is an implicit belief in a Great Leader/s; as long as the union is seen as a legal service and as long as power and money are centralised. A truly participatory, democratic trade union would be one where the locals/branches of each affiliate control the membership dues collected, where they would use their dues to do work on the ground and put some aside for provincial and national work; where the workers have direct ownership of the means of trade union production (negotiation, representation, mobilisation) and where the extremely loosely used term, democracy, translates into individual worker agency and empowerment to ensure that the base, the majority, the working class, is where true power lies, and that it uses its power to change the world for the benefit of the many.

When we have to deal with disagreements, conflicts and faults, these problems must be solved with a justice that is based on our libertarian ethical values. What does this concretely mean? That we have to hear all the parties involved and make sure to provide physical and psychological protection too all, especially if someone has – at least presumably – been hurt. In cases of sexual violence – for instance – we should not reproduce the bias of bourgeois patriarchal so-called “justice” that too frequently isolates (female) survivors and dismisses their feelings and words. It means that we have to establish means to examine the different positions and eliminate any doubts. That we have to have democratic and collective processes to deal with that and to take decisions and make recommendations. And, mainly, that we must first try to reeducate people instead of punishing or isolating them. Not that in some cases punishment or isolation couldn’t be the only solution, but, at least, we have to make (re)education a priority over punishment and isolation, which should be last resorts.
To deal with these problems within our movement instances of ethical justice that aim to resolve major disagreements, conflicts and faults are necessary. These instance, such as an “ethics commission” for example, could be convened and articulated whenever one or more militants within our movement or organizations identify a problem of this kind and ask formally for the establishment of a commission. The establishment of a commission (or the denial) would be the result of a collective decision made by the deliberative and decision-making bodies of the respective organizations. If a commission is established, then a certain number of militants not involved with the case could be mandated to constitute the commission and be given a deadline to listen to the different parties involved, to develop positions, eliminate doubts and then to produce a written document with a position and recommendations to the respective organization. |

«Δεν φοβόμαστε». Δεν θα τρομοκρατηθούν από τις φασιστικές επιθέσεις ή από την απάθεια της αστυνομίας που κοιτούσε καθώς μαχαιρωνόντουσαν. Το φεμινιστικό κίνημα κατανοεί ότι ενώ κατατίθενται αιτήματα για νέους νόμους, η πάλη για τον φεμινισμό είναι έξω, στους δρόμους, τους χώρους εργασίας και τις γειτονιές. Encuentros Ácratas: La experiencia de las Ligas Socialistas y la izquierda abajo en 1970. The so-called Syrian Civil War is Syrian in name only. It has seen combatants from scores of countries flooding into the jihadist fanatic armies, while Israel, Turkey, the US, France, the UK, Iran, Russia, the Arab monarchies, they all have meddled, bombarded, funded their own armed proxies and contributed in many ways to destroy the country. Syria is a shame on humanity, seen by everyone as an opportunity to flex their muscles and test each other’s red lines, limits and capacities. And we’ve been surprised to see the Russian emperor come out absolutely naked in this power-game. Απέναντι στον κόσμο της εξουσίας, απέναντι στον σύγχρονο ολοκληρωτισμό κράτους και κεφαλαίου, οφείλουμε να υψώσουμε συλλογικά ελευθεριακά αναχώματα ανάσχεσης της ολομέτωπης επίθεσής τους, αποδομώντας καταρχήν έναν από τους βασικότερους ιδεολογικούς πυλώνες του κράτους, αυτόν της εθνικιστικής-πατριωτικής ιδεολογίας. Η αποδόμηση αυτή αποτελεί ταυτόχρονα και την αναγκαία συνθήκη για την οικοδόμηση της ελευθεριακής επαναστατικής προοπτικής, που στρατηγικό της στόχο έχει την καταστροφή κράτους και κεφαλαίου και την κοινωνική και ατομική απελευθέρωση. This article looks at the phenomenon of recent migration to Europe and Aotearoa/New Zealand, highlighting both commonalities and differences.
Some on-line copies of "The North American Anarchist", publication of the Anarchist-Communist Federation of North America (ACF). La Carta Opinión de la Federación Anarquista Uruguaya del mes de agosto 2018. Voici un reportage sur les événements qui se déroulent actuellement à Bassorah, la troisième ville en importance en Irak. Les manifestants et manifestantes sont de retour dans les rues depuis le 4 septembre pour réclamer leurs droits fondamentaux.
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. Ως Διεθνές Συνδικαλιστικό Δίκτυο Αλληλεγγύης και Αγώνα υπερασπιζόμαστε την ίση πληρωμή για ίση εργασία. Δεν μπορεί να γίνεται ανεκτό κρατούμενοι που έχουν να υπομένουν την ίδια την φυλάκιση, να δέχονται και εργασιακή εκμετάλλευση. Θεωρούμε ευθέως υπεύθυνες τις πολιτείες που φυλακίζουν αυτούς τους ανθρώπους για αυτές τις πρακτικές. Lado a lado com a violência simbólica dos discursos de ódio, galvanizados pelo atingido em Juiz de Fora (MG), temos a negação do direito ao reconhecimento e, concomitantemente, a perda progressiva dos direitos coletivos que vinham num crescendo desde 1932 e se consolidaram como política pública permanente na Constituição de 1988. Trata-se de restauração burguesa e liquidação da soberania popular e, por tabela, a soberania nacional. A review of the nature of the State as understood by anarchists, especially as proposed by the tendency called "post-anarchism." This is done through a review of the opinions of Saul Newman, a leading proponent of post-anarchism, in his work, "Anarchism, Marxism, and the Bonapartist State." The post-anarchist view is opposed by the class theory of the state, versions of which are raised by traditional, revolutionary anarchists and by Marx. This is a report about what is currently going on in Basra, the third main city in Iraq. The protesters back to the streets from 4th of this month, September demanding their basic rights. This article is a brief analysing of the future of Rojava in Syria in Line with the attack of Assad’s forces on Idlib’s Province . The battle of Idlib can be a crucial one for all sides who are involve especially for the regime and the Kurdish in Rojava . There are few scenarios that the Kurdish forces there and its self rule administration are facing . There is also a strong possibility after this battle the Kurdish question there can be on the top of Assad and Russia’s agenda to be resolved either way. Μια συνέντευξη του 2001 με τον συνιδρυτή της Federación Anarquista Uruguaya (FAU - Αναρχική Ομοσπονδία Ουρουγουάης). Από την μπροσούρα The Federacion Anarquista Uruguaya (FAU) Crisis, Armed Struggle and Dictatorship, 1967-1985 (Η Αναρχική Ομοσπονδία Ουρουγουάης [FAU]: Κρίση, Ένοπλος Αγώνας και Δικτατορία, 1967-1985, που διατίθεται από την Kate Sharpley Library. 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. Ο Selby Semela, ηγετική φυσιογνωμία της εξέγερσης του 1976 εναντίον του απαρτχάιντ, πολιτικός εξόριστος και συγγραφέας (με τους Sam Thompson και Norman Abraham έγραψε το «Reflections on the Black Consciousness Movement and the South African Revolution» - «Σκέψεις για το Κίνημα Μαύρης Συνειδητοποίησης και τη Νοτιοαφρικανική Επανάσταση»), πέθανε την Τετάρτη, 22 Αυγούστου 2018, σε ηλικία 60 ετών. Το ζευγάρι των Βούλγαρων αναρχικών, η Μαριόλα Μίλκοβα Σιράκοβα και ο Γκεόργκι Σεϊτάνοφ, συνελήφθησαν και εκτελέστηκαν μαζί για τις ιδέες τους στις 26 Μάη 1925. Selby Semela, a leading figure in the 1976 revolt against apartheid, political exile, and author (with Sam Thompson and Norman Abraham), of “Reflections on the Black Consciousness Movement and the South African Revolution”, passed away on Wednesday, 22 August, 2018, aged but 60 years. A partir de 2014 o país se viu diante de um avanço das ideias oriundas daquilo que se convencionou chamar de neoliberalismo selvagem ou ultra liberalismo. Motivos não faltariam para fazer uma lista de pessoas físicas e jurídicas que diuturnamente operam para poluir o debate político com parâmetros estadunidenses ou paradigmas absurdos como da “escola austríaca”. A sociopatia desta gente ultrapassa qualquer possibilidade de diálogo, e justo por isso, para evitar problemas legais e manter o tom da crítica, não vou me referir a nenhum instituto com pessoa jurídica no Brasil, mas às suas ideias gerais assim como uma de suas matrizes no coração do Império, talvez a baboseira mais citada. Fica subentendido do que e a quem se trata e que vistam as devidas carapuças. Τοποθετήστε όλους τους ανθρώπους σε ένα καθεστώς ισότιμων οικονομικών συνθηκών, παρέχοντάς τους όλα τα μέσα παραγωγής και έχετε την αρχή της δικαιοσύνης. Δώστε σε όλους τους ανθρώπους την ελευθερία να διαθέτουν, όπως τους ταιριάζει καλύτερα, τα συναισθήματά τους, τις σκέψεις τους και τα έργα τους και θα έχετε δικαιοσύνη σε όλη την εκπληκτική πληρότητά της. Αυτό λέει ο κολεκτιβισμός, αυτό λέει η αναρχία. Θα συνεχίσουμε να συμμετέχουμε, ως οργάνωση αλλά και ατομικά, μαζί με τους/τις παλαιστίνιους/ες κατοίκους της Δυτικής Όχθης, με ισραηλινούς/ές και άλλους/ες ακτιβιστές/ριες, στον καθημερινό αγώνα ενάντια σε όλες τις πτυχές της κατοχής και της καταπίεσης στα κατεχόμενα εδάφη του 1967. Θα στηρίξουμε και θα συνεργαστούμε όσο καλύτερα μπορούμε με τον αγώνα των κατοίκων της Γάζας ενάντια στις επιθέσεις του ισραηλινού κράτους και στην ισραηλινό-αιγυπτιακή πολιορκία. Και θα είμαστε ενεργοί/ες εντός των συνόρων του 1948 ενάντια στις διακρίσεις, την καταπίεση και την εκδίωξη των παλαιστινίων εργατών/ριών που έχουν ισραηλινή υπηκοότητα. Πρώτος ο Sacco, πριν εκτελεστεί φώναξε «Ζήτω η αναρχία!» και πρόσθεσε πιο ήρεμος «αντίο γυναίκα μου, παιδιά μου και φίλοι μου». Ο Vanzetti στην ηλεκτρική καρέκλα είπε «Επιθυμώ να δηλώσω ότι είμαι αθώος. Ποτέ δεν διέπραξα έγκλημα, κάποιες αμαρτίες ναι, αλλά ποτέ έγκλημα. Σας ευχαριστώ για όσα κάνατε για μένα. Είμαι αθώος για όλα τα εγκλήματα, όχι μόνο γι’ αυτό αλλά για όλα. Είμαι ένας αθώος άνθρωπος. Τώρα επιθυμώ να συγχωρέσω ορισμένους ανθρώπους γι’ αυτό που μου κάνουν».
Este noviembre los movimientos de resistencia al trumpismo en EE. UU. tendrán su primera cita electoral nacional: las elecciones de medio término. En el contexto preelectoral, la victoria de diversas candidaturas rupturistas en las primarias del partido Demócrata ha generado muchas expectativas, algunas de las cuales se identifican abiertamente como socialistas, como es el caso de la candidata al Congreso Alexandria Ocasio. Todo apunta a que sectores importantes de la población consideran necesario no sólo ganar al partido Republicano, sino también echar a los demócratas establishment. Μακάρι να γίνει αυτή η νέα καταστροφή πέρα από αφορμή πένθους και επίδειξης εθελοντισμού και κοινωνικής αλληλεγγύης (που πρέπει να ειπωθεί ότι είναι ανέλπιστα συγκινητική) και αφορμή προβληματισμού. Βαθύ προβληματισμού γύρω από την ποιότητα και την ιεράρχηση των κοινωνικών αξιών. Γιατί από τις προηγούμενες μεγάλες καταστροφές το μόνο που έμεινε ήταν δυστυχώς περισσότερα αυθαίρετα.
The following talk was given on 21 July 2018 to a two-day seminar at York University entitled “Historical perspectives on united fronts against fascism and the far right.” El 19 de julio de 1979 (43 años después del inicio de la Revolución Española contra el golpe de Estado de Franco) triunfaba en Nicaragua una revolución de claro contenido popular. Se ponía fin así a la dictadura de 46 años de la familia Somoza, dueños de Nicaragua y personeros de Estados Unidos. Desde 1855, con la invasión del “filibustero” Walker, Nicaragua ha sido un enclave norteamericano, una especie de semi-colonia, un país “libre” e “independiente” sólo formalmente, donde el control de Estados Unidos era total en todas las actividades nicaragüenses. On the 21st April 2015 the Magistrates Court in Sebokeng sentenced 4 community activists from Boiketlong, to a total of 16 years in prison. The activists are: Dinah Makhetha, Sipho Mangane, Dan Molefe and Pulane Mahlangu. Key witnesses could not even identify the 4 but the courts sought to use the apartheid law of ‘doctrine of common purpose’ to jail them. They were found not guilty of ‘public violence’ but guilty of ‘assault, arson and malicious damage to property’. Around the world the ruling class (capitalists, politicians and state managers) is trying to restore its profits by making the working class pay for the economic crisis. One way capitalists do this is by retrenching workers and making the remaining workers work harder to meet production targets, as well as by attacking wages, working conditions and benefits. States help capitalists do this, among other things, by increasing interest rates while giving corporations tax cuts, commercialising and privatising state owned enterprises and outsourcing the provision of basic services. States also help capitalists by undermining workers’ rights, such as the right to strike, in order to make it more difficult for workers to resist these attacks.
Nel Bakur (territori curdi sotto amministrazione-occupazione turca) il partito di Erdogan (AKP) continua a saccheggiare e sfruttare le risorse naturali (petrolio, minerali...) di questa regione curda. Anzi, le operazioni di estrazione negli ultimi mesi hanno subito una significativa accelerazione. more >> |
