Let's talk about the violence committed by men to seek real solutions? ---- On 25 November, there will be protests against violence against women everywhere in France, ask for details. Slogans will argue that violence against women is unbearable, need other laws. The government will add perhaps a measure of awareness or a monitoring unit to existing devices. Some show their solidarity "Woman, when you hear a woman screaming, do not let her alone, solidarity," others their ras-le-bol "Raped, beaten, harassed, women have had enough," some will link with capitalism "money against violence, not for the world of finance." Years of demonstrations, lobbying and petitions demanding a framework law against violence ...

An M1 comrade and I went to a demonstration held in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak last night, an action in response to that atrocious video that went viral showing white children in a Royal Oak middle school chanting "build a wall" in the cafeteria, antagonizing Latinx children (link to video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxW1oid2oe8). We thought it was important to show up and show our solidarity, to stand for these children - not just those in the Royal Oak area, but all over this country. Racist assaults and threats have been occurring at an accelerated rate amongst our very young as well as our adults since Donald Trump's victory (Story Here http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/schools-report-racially-charged-incidents-election-43476177). ...

In November, Alternative Libertaire launches a campaign against violence against women: to inform, train, see, understand, discuss ... to roll back one of the most commonplace forms of violence in today's society. ---- But in fact, what violence are we talking about? Violence against women are all behaviors of psychological, physical and sexual abuse brought against one or more women. ---- The types of violence: ---- Mobbing: repeated acts (critics, humiliation, physical abuse ...) that aim to psychologically weaken the victim and place it in a state of terror. ---- Sexual harassment: harassment aimed at obtaining sexual relations with the victim. ---- Sexual assault: sexual relationship imposed by the aggressor and not granted by the victim. ---- Rape: type of sexual assault characterized by an act of sexual penetration. ...

Feminist pedagogy has developed practices to help female students to deal with violence at school and outside school. ---- The school was characterized by the philosopher Michel Foucault as a disciplinary institution. This leads to consider the school as a place where abusive relationships are exacerbated: microviolence between teachers, students and teachers, peer violence. Girls, more than boys, suffer violence between peers at school. But these gendered school violence are only one aspect of a broader continuum of gender-based violence in society ranging from sexist remark to physical and sexual violence, which can lead to death of the victims. ---- Feminist pedagogy has been especially developed in North America, but also in Spain, for example. It would also more accurately speak of feminist pedagogy because it brings together different currents. ...

The crime I committed is as white as the graffiti spray I used. The real reason why I am here is that I as a young student dared to protest against lies of political system and nihilist mind existing in this state, the country that I belong to. ---- I didn't break any written law. In written laws, my deeds are not described as a crime. What I broke is the non-written rules of the system. The system uses these ...

# Disrupt J20: Call for a bold mobilization against the opening of Donald Trump's mandate on 20 January 2017. ---- On Friday, January 20, 2017, Donald Trump will open his US president in office. We invite all people of good conscience to join us in sabotage the ceremony. If Trump will even take the presidency, that is behind closed doors, showing the true face of police state that Trump will preside. It must be clear to the world that the vast majority of people in the United States do not support his presidency or has consensus with your order. ---- Trump is tyranny, greed and misogyny.

When we look around at the thousands of people marching with us, we can feel the power that we hold. But we know that this isn't enough. In the coming years, our communities are going to be under attack. We need to organize strong communities that can resist the attacks and take the power back! When we leave this march, we need to go back into our neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools and start organizing! ---- We've seen that relying on politicians to solve our problems doesn't work. The Democratic Party is a big part of the reason why we have Trump now, and why we risk seeing so many of the gains we fought hard for taken away. We need to rely on ourselves. We need to build our own movements that can build our power and lead the way to not just being on the defense and resisting Trump's attacks, but to taking control of our neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces and ...

In November 2014, Libertalia editions emerged a new edition of Fascism and Big Business of Daniel Guerin. This book, classic, had not been reissued decade. This edition which follows those of Maspero and Syllepse, is the most comprehensive to date. It includes all prefaces written by Guerin, and the postscript to the American edition. ---- This book intends to give a materialistic reading of the phenomenon of fascism, beyond simple legal explanations that see it as a form of absolute evil, but often do not go much further. ---- Guerin at a meeting of the Popular Front (1936) ---- Instead, Guerin, who has a materialistic interpretation of history, due to the social situation of the country fascism in Italy as German Nazism.

In exciting texts he explicitly feminist theoretical references that have been useful to their fight. ---- The book's starting point is a sexual assault: at the rally of a popular education network, a member was assaulted by another. Following this attack, which is unfortunately part of the repeated history of "anti-capitalist groups," the eleven women of the writing group decided to politicize what is supposed to be a "private matter". They chose to "make class" against male violence. They then held a testimony and an analysis of the most useful, with all the complexity and demanding nature of such an approach. ---- In a "position limit" like: what to do?

Tuesday night many of us were shocked about the election of Drumpf. Social media was full of disbelief and fear. People felt a new era approaching, an era of mass deportation and registering Muslims, an era where white nationalists are comfortable in public. Last night in Richmond, Virginia, I caught a glimpse of another beginning. ---- A local radical organization posted a call for a 9pm protest gathering at Monroe Park, which sits adjacent to Virginia Commonwealth University, a rapidly expanding working class school. Black Rose militants, along with other revolutionaries, were involved in calling for the protest but our control over the nights events ended with the posting of a meme. The march left the park shortly after we dumped a bundle of signs to be distributed. While so many demonstrations begin late, this march nearly stepped off early. ...

In the absence of concerted international pressure on Turkey to rein in Erdogan's authoritarianism, the only plausible outcome is further violence. ---- The political situation in Turkey continues to deteriorate in the wake of the attempted coup d'état in July 2016, allegedly organized by the Gülen Movement, a former ally of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). It has in fact led to a slow incremental counter-coup where Erdogan and his cronies have progressively jailed, marginalized and silenced opponents of all hues - but especially the Kurdish movement. ---- The botched coup has conceded the Erdogan regime the pretext to arrest 80,000 suspects, 40,000 of whom remain in custody, while forcing the shutdown of more than 150 publications, the firing of more than 100,000 civil servants and the re-staffing of the army's upper echelons with Erdogan loyalists. It ...
