A-infos(en) France, Alternative Libertaire - unionism, Response to Permanent Revolution: Being syndicalist today by AL Orleans , AL Saint-Denis (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
Three libertarian unionists meet Permanent Revolution. Because the ritual denunciation of
"union bureaucracy" should no longer be used to mask the failure to act. ---- In the
monthly Alternative Libertaire July-August 2016, a critical article was devoted to the
Permanent Revolution website (RP). This article gave rise to online answer on that site .
Linger to return on important issues concerning the relationship between political and
union activism, issues of interest to all those convinced of the need to change society.
---- If we wrote this article, it is not for the pleasure of arguing with another
revolutionary current, let alone to defend the trade union bureaucracies. But because,
beyond the differences we may have on trade union action (and we do not find in the vision
RP attributes, we shall return), a red line seems to have been taken with the recovery

(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL - international, Bangladesh: 33 killed in factory fire (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
Saturday, September 10, at least 33 people died in a factory fire in Bangladesh food
packaging. Developing countries are a favored playground for capitalists: cheap labor,
virtually no labor regulations and lack of safety standards. All for profit and allow
export in rich countries. ---- The fire follows the many factory accidents in this region.
We remember especially the Rana Plaza in 2013 that killed more than 1,000 people, mostly
women. The building collapsed even as workers and laborers were demanding safer working
conditions. In 2012 a textile factory caught fire killing more than 100 women. ---- But
these are not just accidents. They are proletarians who were tué.es by the onslaught of a
deadly global capitalism. To all those who extol the virtues of industrial and rich
countries, these dramas are here to remind them that this wealth (monopolized by a small

(en) Souther Africa, zabalaza: Where to now, Zimbabwe? Beyond the "good" charismatic pastor. by Leroy Maisiri (ZACF)
Pastor Evan Mawarire unwittingly began the #Thisflag movement in May 2016 by posting a
video online in which he expressed his frustration with the socio-economic and political
crisis in the country. ---- The last 4 months in Zimbabwe can surely be characterized as
an awakening of the Zimbabwean working class, as thousands of these citizens have taken to
the streets, responding to Pastor Evan Mawarire's call: "hatichatya" - we are not afraid.
This is certainly a historic time for Zimbabwe; a time of growing labour pains as the
country (hopefully) enters a process of rebirth towards a better and new Zimbabwe. ----
But before we can even begin to talk about a free Zimbabwe and how we would go about
getting that, we need to first have a clear and coherent class analysis of the Zimbabwean
social and political climate.

(en) Poland, A statement of Anarchist Federation section of Poznanon on the Modern Party's program [machine translation]
September 11 during a convention of - Modern - party program, lips of their leader Ryszard
Petru announced: "We will introduce legislation restricting or banning the activities of
organizations of a racist, chauvinist and widespread hatred of weaker and anarchist
organizations, occurring against the state and its institutions. We will defend the state
against extremism and populism of the left and right of the political spectrum." ----
Power, whatever it, is to himself that there is always against the people, especially
those who are not needed it for anything. Just as modern, it is shoulder to shoulder with
the developer, kamienicznikiem or exploitative employers, strengthen anti-social solutions
and most sweeping under the carpet the problems of those who would rather not feed the
electorate of one of the leading party. Anarchists but appear wherever the needs and

assault battalions in the city center, the walls of Fortress Europe, the anthropokynigous

of nationalism, racism, xenophobia becomes commonplace. ---- September 17th through the

and oppression. In conditions of a systemic crisis in the context of the modern
totalitarian state and the bosses, pursuing the militarization of society and the

(en) zsp.net.pl: Workers Win against Citibank for Discrimination and Mobbing
Two workers have won their cases against Citibank in Poland. Three people had sued the
company - for discrimination of a worker after paternity leave, for mobbing and for sexual
harrassment. The court found in favour of the two workers who claimed discrimination and
mobbing and awarded them significant compensation. In the case of the discrimination case,
the victory is especially significant as there is widespread pressure at work for men not
to take paternity leave - a pressure which reinforces patriarchal practices in the society
and which penalizes men who might want to share parenting responsibilities. ---- Citibank
has appealed the decision. ---- A third case, held separately in another city, has been
dropped. Unfortunately, issues of sexual violence are not treated very well and it is
often an ordeal to see such a case through to the end. However, we hope that even the

(en) Australia, Melbourne, anarchist affinity: Means and Ends: Anarchist vs Marxist praxis By Mitch
"The very revolutionaries who claim that they are against the state, and for eliminating
the state...see as their central task after a revolution to build up a state that is more
solid, more centralized and more all-embracing than the old one." - Ron Taber, 1988 (1).
---- The remarkably common attitude among revolutionaries of all stripes is that "the
means justify the ends". We're told it is acceptable to embrace authoritarian
organisational practices because these practices are necessary to achieve an
anti-capitalist revolution. As Anarchists we argue that the theory and organisational
practice of revolutionary groups must be consistent with the principles upon which we want
a future society to be based. We believe that the praxis of groups which seek communism
should point them toward communism, and not toward statism, authoritarianism, hierarchy,

In the late 1970s, in many European countries is growing Green movement (with "H" great)
politically aspire to pursue environmental sustainability. They have a network with a
variety of political ideologies ekosentris, including ekososialisme, ekoanarkisme and
ecofeminism and actively campaign on the issue of anti-nuclear, peace, environmental
conservation and civil liberties. The movement flourished after the emergence of Die
Grünen (The Greens), a Green Party formed in Germany and public attention. This movement
is already networked globally and sensitize on four pillars, namely ecological wisdom,
social justice, grassroots democracy and non-violence. ---- The influence of anarchism on
the movement of Green is very apparent in the third pillar, namely grassroots democracy,

(en) US, black rose fed: FEMINIST FREQUENCY FEATURES THE REVOLUTIONARY LIFE OF EMMA GOLDMAN By Tariq Khan, BRRN
This short video on Emma Goldman is useful as an introduction, is well produced, is
appealing, and will likely spark people's interest in learning more about Emma Goldman.
That last point alone makes it worthwhile. However, be aware that it waters Goldman down
to make her palatable to a liberal feminist audience. ---- Anti-capitalism was central to
Goldman's analysis of social institutions, but this film does not use the word capitalism
even once, instead saying Goldman rejected "business interests." She was also far more
antagonistic to the suffrage movement than this makes it seem. She saw the suffragists as
bourgeois individualists who had no connection to the kind of working-class immigrant
women and men that Goldman organized with. She saw that working-class men had the right to
vote, and were still oppressed and exploited, so what good would that same right do

In these circumstances widespread social liquidity, which seamlessly continued imposition

other than the complete control from below. Simultaneously with the imposition of poverty
