The General Defense Committee of the Industrial Workers World (IWW) has become an important pole of struggle for pro-working-class revolutionaries in the Twin Cities.

The GDC has grown to approximately 90 dues-paying members in Minnesota, and has several active working-groups. In the wake of Trump's election victory, Wobblies and others across the country have begun establishing their own GDC locals - strongly influenced by the Twin Cities' model. ---- Interview: ---- First of May Anarchist Alliance spoke to Erik D. secretary of the Twin Cities GDC Local 14 about the history and work of the General ...

Hello fellow workers! ---- As a unionist from Adelaide the closing of Holden's, as well as the selling or potential closure of the Arrium Whyalla Steelworks presents a massive working class struggle. It's my opinion that if these businesses close down the workers should take control of the factories for themselves. What I want to know is how to plant that seed and instigate that struggle? Any suggestions on where to start and what to do? I don't know much about Holden's and even less about Arrium Steel, the sheer size of these operations would make organising a workers occupation a major struggle. ---- Radelaide-the-tragic ---- Well that's a huge task to be honest. ---- In Brisbane when Campbell Newman sacked masses of Railway workers, a few years ago, BSN went out to the train yards in Ipswich to set up stall with info flyers to encourage general strike ...

Let's show him on Wednesday just what us "Unproductives" think about that! ---- This is PATRIK SCHUMACHER, director of Zaha Hadid Architects, hater of the working class, and social cleansing denier.

"Blueprint for a New Party" recently published in Jacobin Magazine advocates a model of building a new left electoral party - but author Scott Jay argues it is strategy that leads to campaigning for Democrats and expanding the focus on electoralism rather than a path to strengthening social movements. ---- These are desperate times. The victory of Donald Trump promises a rightward turn in US policy as well as an emboldened far-right in the streets. Immigrants will be among the first attacked by Trump's promise to expel them en masse, but they and others will also continue to see an increase in daily harassment, racist attacks and organized vigilante violence. ---- In response to these horrors, Jacobin Magazine, which enthusiastically promoted Bernie Sanders as a route to rebuilding the Left, has published an article by Seth Ackerman which provides what he calls "A ...

The women of Poland retained their right to abortion already reduced to almost nothing and almost impossible to practice despite an attempt by the Church to remove it entirely. This is not really a victory. ---- Polish women took to the streets in October to protect their already very thin right to abortion against an attempt to ban it completely. Yet this fundamental right of women has not always been absent from the country. Thus, from 1955 to 1993, abortion was free and open. From 1989 to 1993, fundamentalists cathos parties and the Church attempted several times to ban do. And it almost succeeded.

Though many of the groups say they do not openly support Trump they find an alignment with both his political ...

Do not let our anger get bogged down in the electoral swamp! ---- 2016 stopped Sept. 15 ---- rhythm, or not having attempted an appeal to three consecutive strike days we will of course blame the National Inter for not having enough drive. We can make the same reproach to many union structures (federal, local, dishes) played qui'ont not always win. But the fact is, disturbing and frightening: if there 's been no progressive development of mobilized fringes, this is indeed due to the demoralization of the majority of salarié.es and their organizations. ...
