In these circumstances, the military effort in Afghanistan quickly became an occupation. All Afghan civilians were the enemy, unless they were known tools of the occupiers. And so the fighting age males were deemed fair game. Imperialist war cannot be waged justly, so the political decisions of John Howard, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard and other Prime Ministers made the crimes of the soldiers on the ground inevitable. The soldiers named in the secret version of the report deserve to be in the dock, but so do their political masters. read full story / add a comment ![]()

The workplace is the source of the capitalists’ power, so the struggle in that location is decisive. It is the vehicle for fighting the economic inequality that is driving down living standards for US workers for the first time since the Great Depression and fuelling the growth of Fascism. It is, though, much more than that. The struggle in the workplace can unite the multi-racial, multicultural and gender diverse working class in the fight against all forms of social oppression and build the solidarity needed to make the revolution to overthrow capitalism as a whole. read full story / add a comment ![]()

Ο αγώνας που υποστηρίζουμε θα αποκαλύψει σε εκατομμύρια πώς ο καπιταλισμός και οι ανθρώπινες ανάγκες είναι έννοιες εκ διαμέτρου αντιθετες. Θα δώσει ώθηση στην εξουσία εκείνη που θα μπορούσε να κάνει κάτι γι 'αυτό. Μπορεί να είναι η αρχή ενός επαναστατικού κινήματος. read full story / add a comment ![]()

As Anarchists, we argue for workers’ revolution across the world and take as our primary duty the fight against the capitalists where we live. Here in Australia, we must fight against the Australian Goverment’s military alliance with the US, including the ANZUS Treaty, the 5 Eyes intelligence group and the spy base at Pine Gap. And we must fight to build a labour movement that can link up with the working class across the region to make revolution against both the capitalists and the Chinese so-called “Communist” Party. There is no other way. read full story / add a comment ![]()

Το κύριο καθήκον των Αναρχικών είναι το ίδιο όπως πάντα. Πρέπει να οικοδομήσουμε οργανώσεις βάσης στους χώρους εργασίας και να μετατρέψουμε το συνδικαλιστικό κίνημα σε ένα οργανωμενο και μαχητικό κίνημα. Ενώ το καθήκον μας αυτή τη στιγμή είναι να συνεισφέρουμε στην ενοποποίηση των εμπροσθοφυλακών των αγωνιζόμενων αυτόχθονων και των Μαύρων κοινοτήτων στις ΗΠΑ, πρέπει ταυτόχρονα να είμαστε πεπεισμένοι ότι η όποια νίκη μας μπορεί να επιτευχθεί μόνο σε άλλο πεδίο. Ο αγώνας κατά του ρατσισμού μπορεί να κερδηθεί μόνο στους χώρους εργασίας. Και η εξάλειψη του ρατσισμού θα επιτευχθεί μόνο όταν η εργατική τάξη κάνει μια επανάσταση ενάντια στον καπιταλισμό. read full story / add a comment ![]()

The main task of Anarchists is the same as always. We need to build rank and file organisation in the workplace and turn the union movement into fighting organisations. While our duty at the moment is to join the front lines defending indigenous people here and Black communities in the US, we must remain aware that our victory can only be achieved on another field. The fight against racism can only be won in the workplace. And the fight against racism will only be won when the working class make a revolution against capitalism. read full story / add a comment ![]()

The struggle against the coronavirus pandemic is one that can only be won by an act of unprecedented human solidarity. Through that act the values of a new world can be born. But turning those values into reality requires the working class. Only the working class: global, multi- racial, multicultural and gender diverse, has the potential strength to uproot the power of capital at its source and steer a new course. We can start by defending health and safety for all workers and by fighting for adequate resources for the health care system. We can extend the struggle by defending civil liberties and opposing austerity. And we can culminate it with a revolution to overthrow capitalism and create libertarian communism, worldwide. read full story / add a comment ![]()

The US-dominated world order can only be maintained by endless war. Australia, a junior partner, has signed up to this to maintain its domination of the South Pacific and Timor L’Este. The situation would not be improved by allying with China or any other would-be hegemon, because that wouldn’t change the system. The working class needs to unite internationally and abolish capitalism. Only this can build the basis for a world of liberty, equality and solidarity, where war is no more and the nation state has been abolished. We can have a new world of libertarian communism read full story / add a comment ![]()

Αλλά αν δεν πάρουμε τους χώρους εργασίας από τους καπιταλιστές, δεν θα τους νικήσουμε ποτέ. Οι νίκες μας θα είναι μερικές και αναστρέψιμες. Οι αγώνες μας εκτός των χώρων εργασίας πρέπει επίσης να κατευθύνονται προς την οικοδόμηση μιας τέτοιας δύναμης που μπορεί να επιβάλει ένα άλλο είδος πολιτικής. Μόνο η πολυφυλετική, πολυπολιτισμική και διαφορετικής φύσης εργατική τάξη μπορεί να απαλλαγεί από τον κόσμο του καπιταλισμού. read full story / add a comment ![]()

Η Melbourne Anarchist Communist Group (Αναρχική Κομμουνιστική Ομάδα Μελβο-ύρνης καλεί τους αναρχικούς να ξεκινήσουν και τις ομάδες βάσης στα συνδικάτα να αγωνιστούν για την απάντηση των εργαζομένων στην πανδημία του κορονοϊού. Οι εργαζόμενοι πρέπει να χρησιμοποιήσουν κάθε δύναμη και εξουσιοδότηση διαθέτουν στους χώρους εργασίας ώστε να αναγκάσουν το κλείσιμο μη βασικών βιομηχανιών, την επαρκή προστασία της υγείας και της ασφάλειας και την παροχή εισοδήματος για όλους. Εάν τα αιτήματα αυτά κερδίσουν την υποστήριξη των εργαζόμενων, η συνδικαλιστική γραφειοκρατία είτε θα πρέπει να παραδώσει τα συνδικάτα στη βάση τους είτε να εξοστρακισθεί μια για πάντα. read full story / add a comment ![]()

The Melbourne Anarchist Communist Group calls on Anarchists to start rank and file groups in the unions to fight for a workers’ response to the coronavirus pandemic. Workers need to use workplace power to force the closure of non-essential industries, adequate protection of health and safety and the provision of a living income for all. If a groundswell for these demands gains strength, the officials will have either to give in to the rank and file, or be swept aside. In the course of this struggle over immediate issues, workers will raise broader demands, both about the management of the pandemic (e.g. civil liberties) and the sort of society we want afterwards. And it is in the context of this struggle that we can begin to win the argument for Anarchist Communism and to build the movement for a workers’ revolution that can create it. read full story / add a comment ![]()

The Melbourne Anarchist Communist Group advocates that Anarchists should orient their strategies to the workplace. Other areas of struggle are also vital. People can and should struggle against oppression wherever they find it and struggle outside the workplace can win reforms and radicalise people. But unless we take the workplaces off the capitalists we’ll never beat them. Our victories will be partial and reversible. Our struggles outside the workplace should also be directed towards building a force that can take its politics inside it. Only the multi-racial, multicultural and gender diverse working class can rid the world of capitalism. read full story / add a comment ![]()

Η Αναρχική Κομμουνιστική Ομάδα Μελβούρνης πιστεύει ότι το Κίνημα Απεργιών στα Σχολεία για το Κλίμα έχει μεγάλες δυνατότητες και ότι θα πρέπει ολόψυχα να ενωθούν μαζί του τα συνδικάτα. Οι σχολικές απεργίες πρέπει να μετατραπούν σε απεργίες των εργαζομένων. Στην Αυστραλία, η επόμενη ημέρα παγκόσμιας σχολικής απεργίας πρέπει να είναι η ευκαιρία μαζικών συντονισμένων απεργιών από εργαζόμενους από όσο το δυνατόν περισσότερες βιομηχανίες και κλάδους, με στόχο την οικοδόμηση μιας γενικής απεργίας. Η δύναμη του κεφαλαίου δημιουργείται στο χώρο εργασίας και μόνο με την οργάνωση εκεί μπορούν οι εργαζόμενοι να ανατρέψουν αυτή την εξουσία, να την αφαιρέσουν από τους καπιταλιστές και να την χειριστούν οι ίδιοι. read full story / add a comment ![]()

The Melbourne Anarchist Communist Group believes that the School Strike for Climate movement has great potential and that it should be joined wholeheartedly by the unions. School strikes should be turned into workers’ strikes. In Australia, the next global school strike day should be the occasion for mass co-ordinated strikes by workers from as many industries as possible, with the aim of building towards a general strike. The power of capital arises in the workplace and it is only by organising there that workers can wrench that power away from the capitalists and wield it themselves. read full story / add a comment ![]()

Τέλος, είναι απαραίτητο να αναγνωρίσουμε ότι δεν υπάρχει σύγκρουση μεταξύ αυτών των δύο καθηκόντων. Πράγματι, το πρώτο είναι προϋπόθεση του δεύτερου. Οι αναρχικοί που οργανώνονται με βάση το Especifismo πρέπει να προπαγανδίζουν αδιάκοπα στη Χιλή και οπουδήποτε αλλού αυτό είναι πρακτικό, οι εργαζόμενοι να σχηματίζουν μαζικά όργανα εργατικής δημοκρατίας και να απομακρύνονται από τους κοινοβουλευτικούς δρόμους που μπορούν να οδηγήσουν μόνο σε ήττα ή από πολιτικά κόμματα που αναζητούν εξουσία μόνο για τον εαυτό τους και όχι για τους εργάτες. Μόνο η επαναστατική κατάργηση του καπιταλισμού μπορεί να λύσει την πιεστική κρίση της Νότιας Αμερικής και μόνο ο Αναρχικός Κομμουνισμός, το Especifismo, μπορεί να φωτίσει τον δρόμο προς αυτή την επανάσταση. read full story / add a comment ![]()

Finally, it is necessary to recognise there is no conflict between these two tasks. Indeed, the first is a precondition of the second. Anarchists organised on the basis of Especifismo need to be propagandising ceaselessly, in Chile and wherever else is is practical, for workers to form mass organs of workers’ democracy and to turn away from Parliamentary roads that can only lead to defeat or from political parties which seek power only for themselves, not the workers. Only the revolutionary abolition of capitalism can solve South America’s pressing crisis and only Anarchist Communism, Especifismo, can light the way to that revolution. read full story / add a comment ![]()

We recognise the right of the West Papuan people to self-determination and we call on the working class in both Australia and Indonesia to join us in this. It is particularly important for the working class movement in Indonesia to recognise the West Papuans’ right of self-determination, because this is the only way in which the question can be resolved peacefully. read full story / add a comment ![]()

The general strike for a Just Transition will be the beginning, but not the end of the matter. We will open up a debate about the dimensions and shape of the Just Transition. As the struggle progresses, more workers will come to realise that the only Just Transition is a transition away from capitalism. Two facts will drive this. First more people will see the existing capitalist class is so invested in fossil fuels that it has to be swept aside for humanity to achieve sustainability. The understanding will also emerge that eternal growth is the ideology of the cancer cell. Only by abolishing capitalism can we disconnect living standards from resource consumption and adopt a circular zero waste economy. read full story / add a comment ![]()

The growth of Fascism is ongoing. The massacres will continue and perhaps keep accelerating until we have a movement that can both confront it physically and address the political issues that give it life. This requires workers uniting across borders to win battles that cannot be won on the national terrain. Whether we are talking about cars, mining, garments or anything else, we confront global corporations and global supply chains. Our response must be global. And by building a truly global labour movement, we can not only defeat Fascism, but open the door to a workers’ revolution that will do away with capitalism forever. read full story / add a comment |
