 Just tracing down the roots During the famous Philippine revolution against Spain there were prominent intellectuals and key persons to the revolution who were briefly influenced by the anarchists in the west. Recently, there was an anarchist network organised in the big area of Manila Anarchism in the Philippines has still a long way to go. Anarchism was been a widespread political belief worldwide since the industrial revolution in Europe. In East Asia we had histories of anarchist uprisings and anarchist movements that radically developed the political conciousness of the common people in Japan, China and Korea. The Shanghai Commune was organised by Chinese anarchists before Mao Tse Tung came into power, while the Korean Anarchists formed a cooperative commune in some parts of the Manchurian area as their answer against the Japanese occupation. Japanese anarchists are one among the collaborator of this succesful cooperative of workers and peasants in Korea. they organised it while they fled from the Japanese Authorities who commanded to arrest and kill all anarchists in tokyo and some parts of Japan after the rice riots. While the anarchist movements in East Asia were very vibrant during the two World Wars, in the Philippines, south east of Asia... the resistance against foreign occupation was also overwhelming. but during the famous Philippine revolution against Spain there were prominent intellectuals and key persons to the revolution who were briefly influenced by the anarchists in the west. In Benedict Anderson’s lecture about his suspicion that the famous Filipino intellectual Jose Rizal was influenced by the revolutionary anarchists during the period of 1800’s while Rizal was staying in France finishing his two famous books that believed to be the spark of 1886 Philippine revolution. In his lecture, Anderson pointed it out that it was not Rizal who was directly influenced by the anarchists in Europe but Rizal used some anarchist characters in his book/novel to portray the metaphor of revolutionary uprising against Spain and the Friar system in the Philippines. Meanwhile, after several years since the Philippine liberation against Spain was realised there was a Ffilipino named Isabelo delos Reyes who organised the very first militant trade union movement in the Philippines and it was organised under the influence of anarcho-syndicalist organising which inspired him during his long stay in Spain and his brief involvement with the anarchist civil war of CNT. But eventually, it was the Communist Party of the Philippines (PKP) that was organised as the political backbone of the very first Filipino militant trade union movement. The essence of anarchist principle naturally died down as the marxist-leninist philosophy dominated the conciousness of the Filipino working-class. Until now, I am still looking for some traces of old anarchist practices in the Philippines. Recently, there was an anarchist network organised in the big area of Manila. This network is more into the pop-anarchy character, since most of its prime movers are into punk subculture. Well, there were also some of them who came from the prominent left and decided to work within the anarchist principles, but, the political maturity is still an undergoing process and part of this process was the disolution of the network itself. Anarchism in the Philippines has still a long way to go. Discovered while searching in the Manila Indymedi |

We don’t support running in elections or campaigning for them, but some Socialists are wasting their resources doing just that. Because none of them are in any danger of being elected this time around, the MACG considers that it’s possible to give them a principled vote (though it would be different if any might win – they would have to pass the test above). Such a vote is symbolic: you’re putting up your hand for Socialism and against capitalism. It’s a small gesture which you can make without compromising yourself. But we still think it was a mistake for honest Socialists to run. The struggle for a new world has been a long one and has been contributed to by countless individuals and organisations in that time. While the path often seems long and sometimes hopeless we believe that a new world is not just possible, but necessary for our survival. We hope that with this new organisation we like so many before us can play a part in making this vision become reality. As many of you know, Jack 'The Anarchist' Grancharoff died on the 15th of May, at his home in Quaama, South Coast of New South Wales, Australia, aged 91. He died 'with his boots on' - he seemed to have risen from a chair, with an open book and a glass of something interesting on the table, collapsed onto the floor and was found a day or two later. The Platform - Magazine of Anarchist Affinity from Melbourne The 4th annual Melbourne Anarchist Bookfair is an opportunity for all people to read, listen, discuss, share skills and knowledge workshops and talks, socialise and partake in a diverse range of activities around political, cultural, environmental and social justice issues.

The labour movement in Melbourne, though far declined from its former strength, has neither totally given up the ghost nor been allowed quarter by its enemies. Unions campaign for health and safety, against insecure work and against the use of temporary work visas to undermine labour standards. The campaigns, though, are undermined by the conservatism and timidity of the union officials, their support for the Labor Party and their nationalist focus on “Aussie jobs”, which interferes with building the necessary solidarity between local workers and super-exploited migrant workers. Meanwhile, the capitalists are proceeding with legislation to destroy the construction workers' union (CFMEU) and bring the entire union movement under close State supervision.
The first task of any small political group is to understand the situation in which they seek to operate. Understanding the economic, political and social situation in a given society shows a political group the way forward; it allows us to identify what opportunities exist, what challenges we are likely to encounter, and what our capacity is likely to be in responding to these.

Spring zu Komment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Anderson was a Nationalist, which is also an armchair academic, he tagged one anarchist on his symposium "cynical" for calling Rizal a fascist, and nothing but a fa(r)ce on a local currency .. what Anderson needed for someone to purchase his "what-could -have-been" half cooked blueprint. My is counterposition is to negate such theory of possible anarchist influence or intervention from a historical viewpoint on Philippine revolutions- pre civilized anarchy on the other hand did not require revolution to justify itself.
The pop tendency that is a mix of culture jammer's, punks, activist, genderfucks & guerilla artist -unlikely to set the next wave of revolutionary trend. A newly established network based in manila is not entirely 'new' in fact, filipino anarchist have always existed before the Seattle riots- while a brand of violent nihilistic display of anarchy was present during the 60's. It is sometimes hard to pin down the tendency of modern anarchism in the Philippines for it remain low fi and geographically decentralized.
The data gathered from Manila Indymedia is not sufficient, a recent backlash on the site occurred after publishing a misleading post of a ‘Wildcat Strike’. Manila imc is nothing but a shitty commie website who infiltrate autonomous movement(s) in manila. Citing the case of a-manila whom the Indymedia network try to suppress for using an IMC Software, similar to Oscailt (what anarkismo is using now) developed by cyber activist in Ireland , these folks see the potential of open publishing beyond the dominant logic of media bureaucracy.
..and so it all boils down to this. The past was uncertain the future lies unwritten.
Can you give me any more details about this attempt to suppress the use of imc software in an autonomous project? If you can give me a bit more information I will raise this on the internal IMC global lists and ask for an explanation from imc-manila
They have no right to do such a thing and I will try to make sure that this point is made very clearly to them. We do not write software so that other people can make up rules about who can use it. It is free software. Anybody can use it.
Hi!
Maybe this will be interesting to check out as well. What happened to us in Manila-IMC also has a similar pattern as for the case in IMC-Darwin.
http://lists.cat.org.au/pipermail/imc-oceania/2005-August/002859.html
Perth has been taking sides ever since, changed the passwords of editorial collective of Manila IMC in request of 1-2 person. Thats very right, they couldn't show any proof of documented meetings to reach consensus decision-making.
Don't hesitate to email back for further details and questions.

we can always talk on the email- i dont frequently visit this site. it was an issue before- now resolved.
while it's possible rizal was influenced by the anarchists in the cuban liberation struggle, i'd rather hear more about this delos rios: if he built the first militant filipino union on cnt lines, he's a far more important figure. so any extra info would be really valuable... red & black regards, michael
