Dramatic imbalances in economic and political power have driven people into the streets. These are structural features dating back to the origins of democracy itself; they appear in practically every example of democratic government. Representative democracy preserved all the bureaucratic apparatus that was originally invented to serve kings; direct democracy tends to recreate it on a smaller scale, even outside the formal structures of the state. Democracy is not the same as self-determination. ---- Rather than championing democratic procedures as an end in themselves, then, let's return to the value that drew us to democracy in the first place: an urge for freedom. If democracy is not the most effective way to actualize this urge, what is? We need a framework that can fulfill the promises democracy has betrayed. Can anarchists provide helpful ideas on these matters? ...

I've not got much experience of organising, and I work in an industry where it's rare for people to be unionised (IT). But I did win some small victories at my last workplace (mostly thanks to SolFed's workplace organiser training) and like they say, the best way to learn is by trying! This is a report on two of those victories - blocking an attempt to give us unpaid overtime, and improving health and safety. Things were easier because we were all on permanent contracts and couldn't be replaced quickly, but harder because no-one else had much knowledge of unions or organising and because we worked in a small open-plan office where it was hard to talk without the boss overhearing. ---- My first issue came up just after I'd finished the probationary period of my contract, which I'd kept my head down for. The company was trying to squeeze more work out of us - already ...

Another show that has the whole package: Pavilions-monuments of consumerism, concerts with well-heeled singers supposedly popular, and of course with the country's Prime Minister inaugurating the fair with statements about "the future of the economy." ---- Since 2012 , the year the country joined the International Monetary Fund, to date, all prime ministers who "took it upon themselves to rescue (save) the country" announce (at the show) the new measures, new cuts, always promising the coveted "development". ---- For our class this year was a year of retrogression.

Hereby, the Collectif anarchist Emma Goldman wishes to recognize certain breaches in recent years and apologize to those who have broken their trust. The facts are discussed in connection with the behavior of a man participating in collective past few years. Despite repeated interventions and several organizational rifts at different times of the facts reported were reproduced.

The native Irish ruling class have long been prone to parasitical activity, enriching themselves by acting as agents of absentee landlords or today as law firms for multinationals keen to avoid and evade paying taxes. As landlords agents that involved breaking down the doors to evict those who were literally dying of starvation. The modern form is less hands on but the repercussions are similar, the 13 billion they don't want to collect from Apple are the same billions whose absence has people dying on hospital trolleys. ---- The modern myth of Irish nationalism denounces those who acted as the landlords agents and celebrated rebellions against their power.
