Hail the October Revolution Nov 07 0 comments The October Revolution in Russia was a momentous event and the Melbourne Anarchist Communist Group celebrates its centenary. The Soviets and the Factory Committees were great achievements of the working class and taking power was an even greater achievement. We are angered by the betrayal of the Revolution by Lenin and its total perversion by Stalin, but we are not disillusioned. Rather, we have learned lessons and work in the confident expectation that, if capitalism doesn’t destroy us in the meantime, there will be another revolution, and it will be worldwide. Unlike last time, workers won’t get taken in by the siren song of leaders who tell us fairy tales about a workers’ state. We won’t be fooled again. Beyond May Day Parades: Building a Counter-Movement in Malaysia and Worldwide Apr 28 0 comments Let us learn from our past struggles, in the USA and in Malaysia. May Day should be an occasion to reflect not jubilate, to engage not agonize, to demand not relent, and to organise, not complain. We need systemic change that can guarantee equality, fraternity, self-management and socialisation of the commonwealth, guided by a bottom–up approach to decision making. We need a labour movement that is multicultural and international, feminist, active in urban and rural struggles, and that prizes reason over superstition, justice over hierarchy, self-management over state power, international solidarity over nationalism. We need to fight for a universal human community, not parochialism and separatism. The organisational power and strategic location of the Malaysian union movement provides an excellent point of departure for building this counter-movement. This is our appeal and message as we celebrate this May Day, on the eve of dark days in which the storm clouds gather over humanity – but in which the light of hope of a better future can break through, if we arm ourselves with the correct ideas and approaches. May Day began as an example of globalisation-from-below. Let us rally to it. Let us take back its original vision: liberty, equality, unity. World War One and 100 Years of Counter-Revolution Aug 08 0 comments In 1871, Karl Marx wrote that governments use war as a fraud, a ‘humbug, intended to defer the struggle of the classes’. In 1914, that fraud was so effective that not only most workers but also most Marxists supported their respective nation’s rush to war. Ever since then, governments have used war to defer class struggle and prevent revolution. But this strategy cannot last forever.[1] Initial thoughts on Egypt Feb 07 4 comments All too often, we on the Left attempt to prematurely analyze objective reality based on what we see as the expression of an internal contradiction, without thoroughly investigating, understanding or appropriating the internal factors, even at the level of perceptual knowledge.

Spring zu Komment: 4 3 2 1Dear comrades and friends,
This May 1st in the US will be a special one. For the first time in many years May Day rallies of some significance will be taking place.
We will be celebrating international workers day globally. Here in the US we will not only be celebrating May Day, we will also be fighting for immigrant rights all across the country.Some of these protests will be of a direct economic nature (such as strikes and boycotts), other much more of general rallies and protests. Either way, workers, both native and foriegn born, will be making a working class statement on this May Day 2006.
On this May 1st, let us remember the immigrant Haymarket Maytrs 120 years ago who sacrified with their lives in the struggle for the 8 hour day and for the liberation of the working class from tryanny.
Let us also remember and honor all the East and Southern European immigrants who came to the US a century ago and fought for a better life and inclusive unionism. And let us not forget our African-American sisters and brothers, many who were brought to the US in chains and shakles, and continue their fight for real and meaningful equality and freedom.
And on May 1st 2006, let us honor and support all the new immigrants who are struggling, as those in the past, for a new and better life.
From one generation to the next. From one race of worker to the next, our dreams, our desires and struggles will always be the same.
In solidarity,

IWW/Make-the-Road-by-Walking Amersino Workers Locked Out After Rigged Union Election
On April 28th Workers at Amersino voted whether to join the Industrial Workers of the World. Throughout April, the boss made threats to fire the workers and close the warehouse. He bribed workers to not vote for the union. After weeks of this anti-union activity the boss unsurprisingly manipulated the election. Several of the votes were taken from managers or workers that do not work at that location. Also, around 10 pro-union worker's votes were withheld on the account that the boss claims they do not work at that location.
On April 29th, a day after the rigged election, two IWW activists in the shop were suspended without just cause. The Union workers walked out declaring that the group would not work unless the two workers return to the job. The boss quickly brought in scabs to replace the union workers, and laid hands on one union worker, though he backed off when confronted on it. Though many scab workers were talked out of work on Saturday we expect a full load of scabs again on Monday.
Support the Locked Out Amersino workers! On MAYDAY take a stand for justice at work and join our picket line!

The Workers Solidarity Alliance sends all our May Day greetings to all.
Let the anarchist tradition of the Haymarket Matyrs once again be known and an anarchist inspired revolutionary workers movement be built.
Let no worker be "illegal" and in fear for their life and livelihood.
No War But Class War!
Make every day May Day!
Yours in solidarity, internationalism and for self-management

"To understand why the state and business class were so determined to hang the Chicago Anarchists, it is necessary to realise they were considered the 'leaders' of a massive radical union movement. "
Except that Adolf Fischer and George Engel weren't union organizers and didn't support the proto-anarcho-syndicalist strategy of Albert Parsons and others. Fischer and Engel thought that unions could not be instruments of revolutionary struggle because of their bureaucratic structure.
See Paul Avrich's "The Haymarket Tragedy".
