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.

The struggle of the black working class majority of Freedom Park, South Africa, is not just for land on which to build housing – although that is obviously a central issue and key demand; nor is it just against the accompanying political and police violence and intimidation. It is a struggle against the injustice, violence and corruption of a system that puts the power, privileges and profits of a few before the lives and wellbeing of the majority.

Corte de rua e barricada no estado do Paraná.
O Brasil vive um terremoto político, escancarando a podridão das elites do país e fragilizando ainda mais os laços que as sustentam no poder. A operação orquestrada que possibilitou a gravação entre o presidente Michel Temer e o dono da JBS, maior empresa de carnes do mundo, altera a correlação de forças no país e joga gasolina na crise política e social. Com a instabilidade política, o governo tem mais dificuldade para mobilizar sua base e avançar com as Reformas da Previdência e Trabalhista, os maiores ataques à classe oprimida. Isso não é motivo para se comemorar, não devemos tirar peso destas lutas. Agora é a hora de partir pra cima, massificar as mobilizações com o trancamento das ruas, paralisações rumo à greve geral para barrar os cortes sociais e as reformas. Devemos aprofundar a democracia, mas a democracia direta, onde as/os trabalhadoras/es nos seus locais de trabalho, estudo e moradia decidam o rumo do país. O momento é desfavorável para nós oprimidos e oprimidas, mas a crise e a disputa entre as elites abrem margem para outros projetos.

El libro de Carretero Miramar es corto, pero está repleto de ideas para ayudar en ese camino. Cada capítulo abre mil interrogantes, estimula mil ideas, abre cientos de puertas a reflexiones en particular. Es un libro, que más que desarrollar ideas acabadas, incita al pensamiento crítico del lector. Y eso es lo que más se agradece de un libro en estos momentos.

O ex-deputador federal Eduardo Cunha e o futuro ex-presidente Michel Temer
Como o país inteiro sabe, às 19.30 no sítio eletrônico do Jornal O Globo, o colunista Lauro Jardim deu a mãe de todos os furos (ver: http://migre.me/wDFem). Imediatamente a emissora líder entrou de plantão, a nota chegou ao Congresso nacional, as duas sessões (Câmara e Senado) foram suspensas e o Planalto chamou uma reunião de emergência, com a presença dos ministros de confiança do presidente Michel Temer e do presidente da Câmara, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ). Nesta reportagem bombástica, haveria evidência o suficiente para imputar ação criminosa do presidente da República no exercício do cargo, assim como uma compra de “ajuda financeira” para a defesa legal do senador Aécio Neves (PSDB-MG) com lavagem na sequência, através de empresa do também senador tucano e mineiro, Zezé Perrella. |

Αυτή η τρομοκρατία έχει πρωτίστως ως στόχο τους συντρόφους που κάνουν την πολιτική επιλογή του ένοπλου αγώνα, οι οποίοι βρίσκονται αντιμέτωποι, όχι απλώς με τον κίνδυνο, αλλά με το δεδομένο ότι δεν θα είναι μόνο εκείνοι που θα βρεθούν στα κελιά της δημοκρατίας, αλλά και οι κοντινοί τους άνθρωποι. Έχει, όμως, στόχο και όλο το υπόλοιπο κίνημα: τους αναρχικούς -μιας και όλοι μπορεί να βρεθούμε αύριο κατηγορούμενοι χωρίς απολύτως κανένα στοιχείο, με στημένες αστειότητες που βρωμάν προχειρότητα από τα καθίκια της αντιτρομοκρατικής- αλλά και το ευρύτερο κίνημα, πάνω από τα κεφάλια του οποίου δεν υπάρχει πια μία απειλή μόνο για τους ίδιους, αλλά και για την οικογένεια τους, τους φίλους τους, όσους βρίσκονται κοντά τους. Η κατάργηση της Κυριακάτικης αργίας, αλλά και η πλήρης ελαστικοποίηση των ωραρίων, αποτελούν ένα πολύ σημαντικό κομμάτι της καπιταλιστικής αναδιάρθρωσης, που το κεφάλαιο επιβάλει τα χρόνια της οικονομικής κρίσης. Η κατάργηση της Κυριακάτικςη αργίας ωφελεί πρωτίστως το μεγάλο εμπορικό κεφάλαιο -ντόπιο και διεθνές-, αλλά δευτερευόντως και όλα τα μικρά ή μεσαία αφεντικά τα οποία με χαρά καλωσορίζουν το άνοιγμα των καταστημάτων τις Κυριακές με την υποσημείωση να μην είναι κάθε Κυριακή.
A 20 ANNI DAGLI EVENTI DI LIMA DEL 1997, UN RICORDO DEI 14 MILITANTI DEL MRTA MASSACRATI DALL'IMPERIALISMO Οι κρατικές πολιτικές καθυπόταξης και άντλησης κέρδους πέφτουν σε τοίχο συναντώντας τις κοινωνικές αντιστάσεις που ορθώνονται εναντίον τους. Τα κινήματα των κατοίκων τέτοιων γειτονιών έχουν αντισταθεί μαζικά και δυναμικά στις όποιες προσπάθειες επιβολής του κεφαλαίου στους χώρους τους και στις γειτονιές τους. Απέναντι στην αποστείρωση αντέτειναν την αλληλεγγύη και την αλληλοβοήθεια. Απέναντι στην εκδούλευση τη συλλογική δράση και τη συλλογική ζωή. Απέναντι στον έλεγχο και την καταστολή την αντίσταση και τον αγώνα. 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.

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. Στην «καρδιά» των εργασιών του «ποδαριού», στα μηχανάκια, έχει ξεκινήσει ένας τέτοιος συνδικαλισμός. Σε έναν χώρο που μετράει νεκρούς και σακατεμένους σε «ατυχήματα», δηλαδή δολοφονίες από την πλευρά των αφεντικών, στο κέντρο του αποστήματος της επισφάλειας υπάρχει παράδειγμα. Στα σπάργανα αυτές οι προσπάθειες -στα μηχανάκια και σε άλλους κλάδους στους οποίους έχουν δημιουργηθεί και αγωνίζονται σωματεία βάσης- (σε σχέση με το πόσο πρέπει να επεκταθούν αριθμητικά, κλαδικά και γεωγραφικά) κατορθώνουν και κινητοποιούν, κερδίζουν νίκες. Μικρές είναι η αλήθεια, αλλά πόσο καιρό έχουμε να ακούσουμε τη λέξη «νίκη»; Η εικόνα του τσιγγάνου που πουλάει ναρκωτικά, οπλοφορεί και οδηγάει ακριβά αυτοκίνητα είναι το προτεινόμενο μοντέλο της κοινωνίας του θεάματος για τις γκετοποιημένες περιοχές, το αντεσταρμένο κοινωνικό πρότυπο των παραβατικών που με αυτό τον τρόπο γίνεται ακίνδυνο και ταυτόχρονα προσοδοφόρο. Αυτοί οι τσιγγάνοι είναι πρέζάκια της κοινωνίας του θεάματος. Lo que se viene aquí en nuestro país es un año por demás complicado, pero con lucha. La votación de la Rendición de Cuentas, convertida en un nuevo Presupuesto, marcará la tónica del año. Será esencial que el movimiento popular esté en la calle, reclamando recursos para la enseñanza, la salud, la vivienda, el trabajo y el reparto de tierras para los pobres del campo. Hay que trascender el reclamo de cada sindicato, de cada uno. Hay que intentar coordinar, aunar esfuerzos en la lucha, unir trabajadores y estudiantes, las luchas de la ciudad y el campo, de ir generando espacios de encuentro en la lucha, en el combate cotidiano, en la búsqueda de respuestas, en la construcción de herramientas colectivas.
NEGLI ANNI OTTANTA, LA MORTE DI UN GIOVANE OPERAIO AVEVA SMASCHERATO PRODUZIONE E COMMERCIO DI ARMAMENTI NEL "VENETO PROFONDO" Craib narrates to us skilfully a story that certainly deserves to be told: a history of repression and resistance, of savagery and hope, built by a radical coalition of workers and students in the late part of the 1910s and 1920 in Santiago de Chile. Although this is a book about a particular time and place populated by people who make sense in this very specific context, it has much to teach radicals today facing similar challenges.
A 30 ANNI DI DISTANZA, IL RICORDO DI ALCUNE INIZIATIVE CHE CONTRIBUIRONO A FAR LUCE SU PRODUZIONE E TRAFFICI DI ARMI ¡VIVA LA REVOLUCIÓN INTERNACIONAL DE LOS PUEBLOS!, ¡SOLIDARIDAD MUNDIAL CON LA REVOLUCIÓN EN ROJAVA Y EL KURDISTÁN! Por la madrugada de este domingo 11 de junio, organizaciones anarquistas en Grecia sabotearon con explosivos un nuevo conjunto de máquinas de boletos para ingresar al metro en la estación Keramikos en Atenas. Es hora de que los pueblos se autogobiernen. This Thursday 15/6, the greek “leftist” government is going to receive in Thessaloniki the prime minister of Israel B. Netanyahu for the tripartite meeting among Greece, Israel and Cyprus. During their last such meeting, in November 2015, Alexis Tsipras described the occupied city of Jerusalem as the “historic capital” of Israel, thus legitimizing the atrocities of the Israeli occupation forces. Even though minors are shot by the Israeli occupying forces on a daily basis and they are left to die on the streets of Gaza and the West Bank, while 6,500 political prisoners (including 300 minors) are detained in Israeli prisons without any formal accusations, A. Tsipras is unrolling the red carpet for the Zionist slaughterers. Corbyn’s strong showing in the June 2017 UK elections has given a big morale boost to the left. A considerable youth vote, self-mobilising in larger part as a reaction to the ‘me and mine’ selfish society revealed by the Brexit vote seriously set back Tory plans for a fresh wave of Brexit required austerity. Activists used social networking to overcome what had previously been seen as an all powerful smear machine of the billionaire print press. Very few outside the radical left expected this outcome, what drove it and more importantly where can it lead?
A basic introduction to anarchism you could give to co-workers, neighbors or comrades looking to know more. #TryAnarchism El presente texto se sitúa como un aporte, aunque corto y quizás limitado, a la necesidad que tenemos los sectores antiautoritarios de suplir esta deuda histórica y política que tenemos hace un par de años con las luchas en el país, que son atravesadas por un conflicto social y político que inició hace más de 5 siglos, pero que se materializó con una guerra civil de baja intensidad que lleva carcomiendonos un poco más de 50 años. No ahí que dejarlo de ver este como un aporte personal: muchas compañeras pueden tener su visión, más o menos lejana o cercana, sobre ciertos puntos, pero este texto quiere pretender ser una síntesis subjetiva de, con la mayor de las humildades, una suerte de conversaciones, definiciones y decisiones de quienes hemos venido acumulando desde abajo una nueva alternativa libertaria para estas tierras.
intervista a 10 donne anarchiche, marxiste e femministe incontrate tra la Catalogna, la Francia e l'Italia dal marzo 1997 al febbraio 2013 Ahí donde las FARC-EP abandonaron los territorios, en el marco del proceso de paz adelantado con el gobierno (en el cual, dicho sea de paso, solamente los guerrilleros están cumpliendo su parte del acuerdo), las multinacionales han puesto la mira para adelantar actividades extractivistas y agroindustriales. En esos territorios existía no solamente insurgencia armada, sino también, por decirlo así, una insurgencia social: comunidades en resistencia contra la imposición del modelo neoliberal extractivista, que han buscado activamente participar en procesos amplios por una transformación de las estructuras políticas y económicas del país, así como en la creación de alternativas en su propia realidad local. Το Σάββατο, 10/6, η Ευγενία Β., έκλεισε τον κύκλο της ζωής της. Η Ευγενία του Προλεταριακού, της Καισαριανής, των αγώνων, της καθημερινής αξιοπρέπειας και αλληλεγγύης. Η βία μπορεί να αποτελέσει εργαλείο του φοιτητικού κινήματος, όταν νομιμοποιείται από τους καταπιεσμένους/ες και στρέφεται ενάντια στον κόσμο του Κεφαλαίου. Για αυτό και η κατάργηση των φοιτητικών εκλογών είναι χρέος των ίδιων των φοιτητών/ριών και όχι κάποιων “πεφωτισμένων”. There are recent histories of the First International researched from anarchist perspectives, which balance the dominant Marxist narrative. Both sides had their strengths and weaknesses, but overall the anarchists had the better program. Στον αγώνα των μεταναστών εργατών στο κάτεργο του Κώστα Γεωργίου, αναγνωρίζουμε την πιο αυθεντική έκφραση εργατικής αλληλεγγύης, τέτοιας που οφείλει να αποτελεί έμπνευση και υπόδειγμα για όλους/ες μας. Γι’ αυτό στηρίζουμε και στεκόμαστε μέχρι την νίκη δίπλα στον απολυμένο εργάτη Ασίφ Μαχμούντ και στους συναδέλφους του: Γιατί η ίδια η σύγκρουση με την ασύδοτη εκμετάλλευση και τον αυταρχισμό, γέννησε έναν νέο κόσμο αλληλεγγύης και ισότητας. Και θα φροντίσουμε αυτός ο κόσμος να μεγαλώσει… Guerrero está de luto una vez más. ¿Hasta dónde llegará la barbarie de la guerra contra el pueblo?
¡VIVA LA SOLIDARIDAD INTERNACIONAL DE LOS PUEBLOS!, ¡QUE SE VEA ESE APOYO A LA REVOLUCIÓN DEL KURDISTÁN! The hope that the end of apartheid would herald a better life for the oppressed in South Africa has evaporated. Their conditions today are materially as bad as under apartheid - and even worse in some cases. But the upper classes are having the time of their lives. Working class struggles should be intensified and linked, based on self-organising and direct democracy to bring about real change. ... δεν βλέπουμε πια ουρές αυτοκινήτων των εργαζομένων που περιμένουν κάθε πρωί να περάσουν την πύλη του εργοστασίου. Δεν υπάρχουν πια εργοστάσια. Έχουν κλείσει ή έχουν μεταφερθεί στις χώρες της Νοτιοανατολικής Ασίας. Οι δημόσιες τράπεζες και οι επιχειρήσεις κοινής ωφέλειας έχουν αποχωρήσει από τη χώρα ή πρόκειται να αποχωρήσουν. Το συνδικαλιστικό κίνημα, που κάλυπτε κάποτε το ήμισυ του απασχολούμενου εργατικού δυναμικού και συναγωνιζόταν το κράτος για οικονομική εξουσία, ως επί το πλείστον βρίσκεται σε άτακτη υποχώρηση. The struggle of the black working class majority of Freedom Park, South Africa, is not just for land on which to build housing – although that is obviously a central issue and key demand; nor is it just against the accompanying political and police violence and intimidation. It is a struggle against the injustice, violence and corruption of a system that puts the power, privileges and profits of a few before the lives and wellbeing of the majority. |
