signatories - including more than 120 union structures as such. Featuring debate renewed
strike, he especially helped popularize Economic blocking objective. ---- When the call
"It blocks all! "Is launched, the social movement has taken off with the demonstration of
9 March [ 1 ]. The goal is then to strike while the iron by placing the outset a simple
question: if we want to win and so how is it done? ---- We did not leave anything. The
experience of previous major movements helping, then it is obvious that it is blocking the
economy that must be sought. And there is no blockage of the real economy without a strong
strike rooted, widespread and extended massively. Throughout the fight against Labour law
is what it is endeavored to share the call "It blocks all! ".

(en) US, WSA, ideasandaction: Leninist Vanguardism vs. Libertarian Left Militant Minority Organization
It is not uncommon for class struggle libertarians to hear Leninists equate vanguardism
with a libertarian militant minority group, such as the Friends of Durruti in libertarian
Spain, yet suggest that the libertarian role is simply lacking in strategy. This shows a
poor understanding of the militant libertarian alternative to Leninist vanguardism and why
we see it as far more desirable and superior. The phrase “militant minority” was created
by anarchosyndicalists to refer to working class people who are class conscious and have
an informal influence within their workplaces and unions due to being hard-working or
being good at public speaking, being politically knowledgeable, etc. Anarchosyndicalists
have also used the term “vanguard” to refer to an active, organized and
politically-motivated militant minority.

(en) solfed.org.uk: Don't work for free. Say no to unpaid trials!!
Some workplaces in Brighton, including hospitality companies like pubs, restaurants and
hotels, to hospitals, care agencies and the building trade, employers ask potential
employees to come and work a 'trial shift' to see if they are up to the job. ----
Sometimes this trial can last a couple hours, sometimes twelve, but all too often the
trials can last a few days. Some companies are taking advantage of this and are covering
exceptional workload issues with workers doing unpaid trials. To put it clearly and
succinctly: working for free. ---- Bosses know that there is no law on the issue but they
always try to reduce their costs: so they will try to avoid paying your holidays, some
wages, notice pay or even a few hours from your first days. Probably you are just owed a
few tens pounds. So, probably you think it is not worth it.

(en) US, Call For Antifascists At Trump’s Fundraiser
Donald Trump thinks he will be having a fundraising event in Minneapolis on Friday, Aug.
19th. (The time and location are unknown at this time.) We think Trump and his supporters
should get a rude awakening when they rear their fascist heads in Minnesota. ---- We are
calling everyone who wants to stop the rise of fascism to come out and show Trump and his
supporters that their racist, patriarchal, and all-around oppressive-as-fuck agenda will
meet resistance and disruption wherever they go. We would like to invite people to engage
in creative actions to show Trump that his politics and agenda will not find fertile
ground in our communities. ---- Over the last number of months, the radical right has
become emboldened by the rise of Trump and the success of his bid for the Republican
nomination. As the Republican Party has moved even farther right with Trump and as the

(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL n° special - SNCF: The duplicity ... and lack of boldness (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
While the movement against the rising labor law throughout the country, the CGT-Railwaymen
did everything to sabotage the departure ended strike. And, unfortunately, too few have
tried overflow. ---- Before the start SNCF strike on 18 May, the number of railway and
railway workers already had nearly 10 days of strike action since March. The fight against
the labor law partly explains, but it is also the result of tactics very questionable:
while locally union teams and general assemblies grew to a call for renewal by March 31,
s' based on the high number of strikers, no federation has relayed, preferring to continue
24 hours in rehearsal. ---- The scenario was repeated in late April, and worse: the CGT
has imposed a square strike at the SNCF April 26, while the inter inter called for weeks
at 28! Favoring alliance with UNSA and CFDT, CGT-Railwaymen refused to make the connection

police pressure, breakage, clashes ... With Valls-the-baton, the demonstrations have not

of legality. ---- Swimming goggles, scarf, possibly helmet ... No harm people
rediscovered, in spring 2016, the basic equipment of the anti-globalization protester

of the protesters is the index of exasperation when you put a ballot, it is betrayed; when
you go down to 3 million in the street as in 2010, it is despised. What then remains to be

(en) awsm.nz: The Olympics: a reflection of society under capitalism
The Olympic games are here again and while it’s sold to us a demonstration of peace and
solidarity and the finest humans have to offer, it is often anything but that. In fact, in
many ways, it is a reflection of the very worst of society under capitalism. ---- The
modern Olympics were established with the highest ideals, and a desire to foster peace.
Instead they have become little more than a display of nationalistic pride and flag waving
by nations who co-opt the efforts of the athletes to further their own schemes. From the
very first games this has been demonstrated when the 1896 games in Athens led to a surge
in Greek nationalism, and an eventual war with Turkey in 1897. ---- The rich countries of
the West also get the chance to reinforce their perceived superiority over the rest as the
Games are heavily weighted in their favour. From the very beginning the Games were set

(en) solfed.org.uk: Brighton SolFed opens a dispute against Leaders letting agency
Brighton SolFed has started a dispute against the Western road branch of the letting
agency Leaders. The agency facilitated an eviction attempt against a tenant that failed
after a court hearing. SolFed has been trying to find a settlement for the dispute the
last couple of weeks. Along with SolFed, the tenant is fighting for compensation for loss
of earnings and damage to her health. ---- The failed eviction process caused the tenant
months of instability whilst she was suffering from a serious illness. While the tenant
was a few weeks late with rent because of illness, she had informed the agency that this
would be the case, and was told that it would be ‘no problem’. At this point, the tenant
had already been at the property for a year, and paid rent in six-monthly instalments.

(en) US, black rose fed: We Don’t Need a New Jail, We Need Abolition
For five years, Champaign-Urbana (CU) residents have been battling jail expansion in our
community while supporting community-based alternatives to incarceration. Like the rest of
the nation, the racial disparity in CU is horrific, from school discipline to the criminal
justice system. Although Black people make up 13% of the general population in Champaign
County, Illinois the jail population is around 70% Black. Despite reformist approaches to
addressing systemic anti-Black racism in our County, county officials along with the
sheriff’s office are attempting again to move forward on expanding the satellite jail at a
minimum cost of $15 million through a sales tax referendum. Speaking to the Champaign
County Board on Tuesday, August 9th, local Black organizer/activist, Kadeem Fuller made a
much needed case for the abolition of jails, prisons, and white supremacy. The following

(en) Czech, afed.cz: Existence 3/16 - TTIP as one of the tentacles of an octopus capitalism: A brief introduction to the corporate assault on the remnants of social and environmental gains. [machine translation]
Transatlantic trade and investment partnership (TTIP) and unintelligible sounds remotely.
Why should this agreement should deal with and protest against it? TTIP (and its Canadian
version CETA) is not an ordinary commercial contract. It is a further concession on our
civil rights in favor of large multinational companies and global capitalism. To truly
understand our situation, we must first outline what TTIP ever is and what allows us, if
its approval is imminent. ---- Capitalism is generally unsuitable solidarity with weaker.
Dream of all good capitalists is to eliminate all the rules protecting consumers, citizens
or employees so that they gain nothing stood in the way. Directors and other
representatives of large companies with long-term (at least since the establishment of the
Transatlantic Business Dialogue in 1995) seeks to enforce an agreement that would
