Feed aggregator(en) Czech, afed.cz: Footsteps Adamit --- Another pocket booklet published by AF brings the narrative Roman Laube specific group of men and women from the beginning of the Hussite movement. [machine translation]
Adamité were one of the most interesting and also one of the most mysterious heretical
groups in the history of Czech heretical movements. They existed at all? There are reports
of "orgies" just rumors and trying to justify their disposal in the eyes of the society?
These questions seek to answer modern historiography for decades. The authors of the
Stalinist period, eg. Their ritual nudity totally denied as contemporary propaganda
designed to discredit them (predecessor of the communist movement to do something like
this could commit) and authors from across the political spectrum, this aspect conversely
used to argue how far can the various social experiments, disruption of traditional values
and keep order. Only work the last twenty or thirty years, especially Peter and Francis
Cornej Šmahel, tried to bring up this issue more objective view. However, sometimes

Brigades enlisted in Republican Spain from 1936 to 1938. ---- October 25, Arte aired a
documentary by Patrick Rotman on the International Brigades, who will remain accessible on
Arte.tv until November 1. ---- Certainly the exhumed footage is remarkable and extremely
rare. That's the only positive thing to find. Because finally, how is it possible, with
all the research done for years to produce a documentary about two hours, which
accumulates as many clichés and approximations? ---- There is no question of calling into
question the sincerity of combatants and veterans of the International Brigades. Many were
convinced revolutionaries. But the romantic myth of the Brigades should not overshadow

(en) zabalaza.net: Worker-Student Alliances: Anarchist Approach Needed by Leroy Maisiri (ZACF)
Recent worker-student alliances and activities are lacking in an anarchist/syndicalist
approach which focuses on ‘people's power' and ‘worker control'. Such an approach is
important for radical transformation, writes Leroy Maisiri. ---- After 20 years of
neo-liberal democracy, South Africa has not truly begun the much-needed purge of race and
class structural inequalities and constraints inherited from apartheid South Africa. Many
university campuses across the country, since 2015, have been set alight by the actions of
a non-compromising body of students. This political wildfire has moved from campus to
campus, for a range of reasons: one thing remains central, that tomorrow's future is
shaped by today's youth, restlessly tackling the structures and impediments that stand in
their way.

an enforcement order), and the ongoing proceedings before the courts finally been
suspended. In total this applied to approx. 430 cases. The scale of the phenomenon may,
however, be much greater, but it is not clear how many tenants would be at risk of this
type of claim. Greater Tenants' Association and the European Coalition for the Right to
the City believe halt the execution of a major success in the fight for the rights of tenants.

emerging. An almost unique example in the history of the international labor movement.
---- As soon as the military coup (Uprising) triggered by General Francisco Franco, 18

revolutionary organizations. The government of the Frente Popular, elected in February

(en) Libertarian Youth of Madrid: Disobedience spreading -- Die domesticated strikes (and domestication) (ca, pt) [machine translation]
In the realm of obedience everything is repeated, everything plays. boredom and routine
are repeated in the classroom, in the neighborhood or at work. And this sad scene, where
even the tools of struggle and rupture of normality, such as strikes, have been
domesticated, obedience commands unopposed. ---- Obedience is the Students' Union and its
one-day strikes, which only serve to, face the press, justify their treacherous role.
canned obedience is offering us all the youth and student organizations (but especially
senile) Marxist character, hoping to occupy the role of the Students' Union. Obedience is
fighting for chains, wanting to change their rings, but keeping intact its oppression:
this is what it means to fight for public schools, the state education for
entrepreneurship education and their needs.

(en) wsm.ie: Hundreds protest conviction of Jobstown teen following Burton sit in
Hundreds of people marched through Dublin on Saturday to protest the conviction of a
Jobstown teen for false imprisonment. He had been part of a protest which delayed Labour
Party leader Joan Burton who had made an unwelcome visit to the community resulting in a
sit down in front of her car as she left the area. The delay in her being able to leave
resulted in dawn raids on the houses of activists across Jobstown and in the trial of many
of them for false imprisonment. ---- Burton remained in her car throughout the protest
with people sitting in front of it. This verdict is a shocking undermining of any sort of
right to effective protest, massively expanding the power of the state to criminalise
almost all forms of resistance including those which many members of Burton's Labour Party
engaged in previously.
