A-infos(en) Palestine-Israel, The Tsumud/persistence of 13 years of joint struggle will continue as long as it takes* (it)
It is not because the Jews rule US... It is because Israel play an essential part in the
Imperial struggle between US and Russia. Though the oil is less important to US economy it
is still important to its partners. The western empire elite came to Peres ceremony
because Israel helped to return Egypt to US sphere of influence. Protected Jordan from
being taken by pro Russian Syria, Pushed Syria out of Lebanon for a while... and supply
important services all over the world. Thus, the struggle against Israel apartheid is
going to be much harder than the abolishing of it in Southern Africa. However, we have
here the joint non armed struggle, the tens of thousands international activists who come
here to participate and return home with the torch of struggle. The Israeli Jews who
participate every week in the joint struggle refute the "anti-Semitism" false claims.

(en) wsm.ie: Solidarity against the Terrorist Narco-State of Mexico from Dublin, Ireland by Mary Murphy
On Saturday, 24 September, LASC and the Mexico-Ireland Solidarity Collective organised a
vigil at the Mexican embassy to remember and to call for justice for the 43 missing
students of Ayotzinapa and the thousands more like them who have been disappeared in
Mexico. ---- Over a year ago, on the night of 26 September 2014, a group of student
teachers in the Mexican state of Guerrero were ambushed by municipal police as they
travelled in a convoy of buses through the city of Iguala. Five people, including two
students, were killed when the officers opened fire on the buses, and another student was
later found dead, his body showing signs of horrific torture. Forty-three other students
simply disappeared without trace. The students' disappearance unleashed a wave of public
outrage fuelled equally by the attack itself and by the narco-corruption which has enabled

migrant solidarity migrants' struggles immigration Greater Manche ---- Starting a new life
in the UK can be intimidating. Many things are different to how they were at home. Most
things are expensive, and some things are just plain difficult. There might be a new
language or a new culture to contend with. Dealing with all this whilst struggling to find
a job or accommodation can feel impossible. With this in mind, Manchester Solidarity
Federation have put together a short guide to the city. We've tried to cover all the
basics about living and working here, and where to go for help and what resources are
available. ---- The guide is available at manchestermigrantsguide.org.uk. We hope to have
translations into languages other than English in the near future. We must emphasise the
guide is a work in progress and if you have any suggestions, corrections or comments

(en) afed uk: Organise! magazine issue 86 summer 2016 - Editorial: A Victory for the Commons
The main theme of this issue of Organise! is the ‘Commons' and issues related to the
control of and access to space. As anarchist communists we reject both private property
and state ownership. Therefore, we must consider how we might organise our use and our
access to the world's resources. How do we ensure that these resources are managed
sustainably and equitably? ---- The idea of the Commons has often been put forward as an
alternative way of viewing land and resources. However, there are two interpretations: It
could refer to land or resources that are not owned by anyone but to which a designated
group of people have the rights of access; or it could be land and resources that are
owned by everyone. In this issue you can find radical and utopian ideas of the commons and
public space. In order to struggle we need to have a vision of a different future, one

The nuclear industry is struggling globally since Fukushima. In France, the mining of
uranium at its disposal through plant construction, updating and control, everything is
open to criticism. And the challenge is building momentum. Meet at Flamanville October 1!
---- The different actors in the French nuclear industry through a bad period. Areva is
indeed at the heart of the storm with his trial on the incomprehensible awarding of a
depleted uranium deposit, but more recently with revelations about the defects in the
construction and validation of 128 pieces of business in reactors La France. ---- The

(en) afed uk: NO BORDERS, NO STATES, NO WARS! - RESISTANCE BULLETIN #160 - Editorial
This issue contains articles about action against detention centres, anti-racist action,
migrant/refugee support centres, experiences from Greece, AF's pre-Brexit viewpoint, and
more. ---- Editorial ---- The ‘migrant crisis', the referendum about withdrawing from the
EU, and many conflicts past and present are all about artificial lines that divide groups
of people. ---- These borders are both physical - you are not allowed to cross from one
piece of land to another - and mental and imaginary - the idea that people of one side of
the line are fundamentally different from those of the other side. In this issue of
Resistance we focus on the borders between nation states. Governments have control over a
particular patch of land that is perceived to have some kind of common social and cultural
identity. The fact that humans have been migrants around the globe for thousands of years

(en) anarkismo.net: Flowers for the rebels who failed by Kate Sharpley - KSL Rebellion in Patagonia by Osvaldo Bayer [Book Review]
In Rebellion in Patagonia Osvaldo Bayer rescued this tragedy from historical oblivion.
‘The 1921 massacre of the rural workers of Patagonia is no longer a taboo subject,
mentioned as if it were but a legend.' (p467) Patagonia, in the far south of Argentina,
dominated by the livestock runs of large landowners, is a long way from Buenos Aires. It
may be a long way from where you are, but this is a story that resonates. ---- Rebellion
in Patagonia tells how the anarchist-organised rural workers strike in 1920-21 and win
historic concessions, after the army and reformist politicians opt for compromise. The
landowners are intent on destroying the workers' organisation and resist implementing the
agreement, which leads to the second strike (of 1921). The owners want a solution, one
that leaves them in full control. ‘If the military doesn't intervene, "there will be

(en) wsm.ie: Rojava revolution - Co-operatives & assemblies - video with commentary in the text by Andrew N Flood
As they have driven ISIS back in northern Syria / Rojava the Kurdish YPG and their allies
in the SDF have won increasing visibility in western media. While such reports often
mention the key role in this fight played by women in the YPJ, there is otherwise little
examination of the revolution happening behind the front lines in Rojava. That revolution
is why they stood and fought ISIS rather than fleeing. This can be true of a lot of
alternative media coverage. In part this is due to the limited amount of information on
what this revolution involves. but it's also in part because photographs of women with
guns are judged to be more striking than women workers in a co-operative bakery or a
community assembly. ---- We've tried to address this imbalance somewhat, both in our
coverage and through bringing a number of Kurdish and other speakers over to talk at the

(en) solfed uk: Statement on Laibaz dispute -- wage theft
Over the last few weeks the Manchester Solidarity Federation has been escalating the
campaign against Laibaz restaurant in Bolton. As well as further phone blockades, we have
leafleted in Bolton, organised a poster campaign and held a stall outside of the
restaurant. The support we have received from groups and individuals has been tremendous
and we would urge people to continue with their support for the campaign. ----
The owner of the restaurant, Sunar Alom, has responded to the campaign with verbal abuse
and by posting lies and smears against the workers involved on social media. Needless to
say, wild accusations such as these will not deflect from Laibaz's shocking treatment of
its staff. Nor will such allegations deflect the Solidarity Federation from our continuing
campaign in support of the workers involved. We will now be stepping up the campaign

The traditional smoky "participatory public debate" on Europa City was held between March
and July 2016. Despite the involvement of opponents and opponents, the result to be
published in mid-September leaves little doubt about the continuation of this project

The following is a speech given by Champaign-Urbana organizer Tyler Camp at the Rally
Against Rape Culture, September 23, 2016. The rally was organized by Students Against
Sexual Assault at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. ---- I made it a project of
mine this year to construct a sort of pedagogy, or theory, of radical love. And people
have directed me to all kinds of resources that are really great and radical. My friend
Kaitlin pointed me toward Shine theory- which is summarized really well in the simple
thought: I don't shine if you don't shine. Specifically, the focus was on women uplifting
other women but I think we can expand it to all genders. Use it as a way of pushing back
against gender-embedded violence. ---- And I talk about gender in a broad sense keeping in
mind this concept of toxic masculinity. Toxic masculinity is what creates and perpetuates

This decision followed the city council of Oreokastro, and was strongly supported by both

(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL Septembre - Interview, Silvia Federici (feminist): "Capitalism separates and isolates women" (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
How is capitalism possible? In Marxist question Marx's answer: by the unpaid labor. The
worker of the labor force is exploited, and the wealth it produces is extorted by the
capitalist. How is the work of the workman possible? In feminist issue, Silvia Federici
answer: by the work of women that allows the worker to reproduce his daily labor. In an
interview with Hourya Bentouhami, philosopher and activist U, Silvia Federici returns to
the specificity of patriarchy within capitalist societies. ---- AL: Is it that you can
explain your background that goes from the study of witch hunt (in "Caliban and the
Witch") as having contributed by you to the first form of primitive accumulation with
enclosures[1]women, on reflection you lead today on domestic work and capitalism on a
global scale in what amounts to a form of neo-colonialism?

Dear comrades, glad to meet and to create a transcontinental communication and solidarity
with you. We are an anarchist magazine/website from Turkey/Kurdistan. We can not say that
we label ourselves anarcho-communists but mostly we agree in principles of solidarity,
mutual aid, organized struggle and a world without bosses, states, ruling classes etc. the
most important thing is for us to be in solidarity with all anarchists, libertarians and
social movements which seek to destroy capitalism, states and dominations of all kinds.
Only way to achieve success in class war against capitalism and its all apparatus, is to
organize, to stay in touch/contact and to stay strong against it together.
There are lots of documents about ZACF but mostly English. We have very few sources in
turkish. So that we feel to inform anarchists and libertarians who are reading and
