Everything we are now is built upon all that we were and where we came from. The same can be said for countries, any analysis has to look backwards before it can begin to understand the influences and causes of the present. This makes analysis intrinsically complex and often, almost impossible. At some point we are forced to simplify, look for patterns and analyse situations with a focus on where the key locus of power lies.
An analysis of the recent events taking place primarily in Kwa-Zulu Natal and Gauteng has to be done with this in mind. It is impossible to follow every strand of the complexity that is South Africa, but at the same time the link between the spate of large scale looting that took place and two very obvious conflicting ruling class power bases that currently exist in the country is undeniable. To claim that there was an exercising of working class power is to fundamentally misunderstand the powers at play and where the locus of power at this point in history actually lies. read full story / add a comment

Mandy Moussouris and Shawn Hattingh explain the roots and principles of anarcho-syndicalism and what these mean for the practice of worker education in movements inspired by these principles and traditions. Emphasising the democratic practice, working class rooted, organic and critical nature of the pedagogy, they explain that the practice seeks to intersect employed and unemployed women and men. Practically, the education provides a platform for post-revolutionary practice of direct democracy at the point of production and, thus, naturally included practical skills such as trades, accounting and sciences. read full story / add a comment

The ongoing war in the Middle East, the Arab Spring followed by what seems to be a winter of war
that rivals Game of Thrones has seen the death of many a revolutionary and many a revolutionary
dream.
Within this ongoing war are stories of struggle against tyranny, struggles by ordinary people to gain
some sort of control over their lives as they get buffeted between superpowers and ideologies
fuelled by greed and underlying neoliberal capitalism. The struggle of the Kurdish people of Rojava is
one such story. It is not a new one and it is not a perfect one. It is a story of courage and inspiration,
of brave women and men, of complexity and of huge challenges. It is a story of our age, where
competing geo-political powers fuel wars in other lands and on other people to further their own
interests. read full story / add a comment

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. read full story / add a comment

In what will no doubt become known as a historic strike, women workers at Robertson Winery have played a key role, both because they form the majority of the striking workers but also as leaders of the strike. read full story / add a comment |
