Update on the Global Bank Users Strike Campaign

category international | economy | non-anarchist press author Saturday December 27, 2008 04:02author by Bank Users Strike North Americaauthor email bankstrike at riseup dot net Report this post to the editors

Update a the Global Bank Users Strike, a global campaign against commercial banking and consumer debt. Over 200 people worldwide have signed up to take part in coordinated withdrawals from the commercial banking and debt resistance.

Global Bank Users Strike Update

This September Catalonian anti-banking activists called for a global bank users strike in response to the global economic crisis.

The plan is to develop a worldwide, coordinated effort to organize withdrawals from the commercial banking system and debt non-repayment. People can ‘pre-register’ to participate; when enough people are signed-up in a given city or region, they can call a day to withdrawal money from commercial banks and place it in non-capitalist financial institutions and begin debt nonpayment.

Since the initial call, over 200 people around the world have signed up!

People can participate as much or as little as they like; people already living without the banking system or resisting debt payment can coordinate with others and give them advice. The idea is to begin—in a public and collective way—popular resistance to the banking system that can no long be trusted with out paychecks and savings.

Interested?
The North American Bank Strike campaign is looking for people to help organize this campaign. There are lots of ways to help out...

What we need:
Participants: Join the strike and close your commercial bank account.

Sign up at http://www.17-s.info/en/banks-users-strike-form

Organizers: People to organize support for this campaign at the local level. See how organizers have been debating at http://www.17-s.info/en/forum. Contact bankstrike@riseup.net for organizing materials.

Researchers:We are hoping to make http://www.bankstrike.net a good source for critical information on the banking system, the financial crisis, and alternatives to capitalist finance. Contact bankstrike@riseup.net for more information.

Translators: This is a global effort; organizing efforts are underway across the world in multiple languages.

tnimilitaryspending01.png imageEU: No austerity for military spending 17:18 Sun 09 Jun by ROAR Collective 0 comments

High levels of military spending played a key role in the unfolding European sovereign debt crisis — and continue to undermine efforts to resolve it.
A new report by the Transnational Institute — ‘Guns, Debt and Corruption: Military Spending and the EU Crisis’ — looks at the ways in which excessive militarization directly fed into the unfolding European debt crisis, and continues to undermine efforts to resolve it. Below the downlink links and infographic you can find the executive summary of the report.

To move ahead and build international solidarity, all the movements must come together on a European scale. The capitalists know how to organise on that level and how to adopt the treaties they expect to seal peoples’ fates with. We, the working men and women of Europe, have not yet achieved this level of organisation, even though alternative forms of trade union organistion have found ways to converge. This effort must be pursued, and a response organised on an international level. [Français] [Ελληνικά] [Nederlands]

In recent weeks, the signs of anger among the peoples of Europe have been increasing: a general strike in Portugal, demonstrations of historic proportions in Ireland, the student movement in England and, hopefully, the beginning of a lasting movement following the mobilizations over pension reforms in France.

In the tragic and bloody framework of the wars (both geopolitical wars and wars for the sake of war) for the strategic control of raw materials, which from the Middle East to Central Asia sees a clash of imperialist interests for the control of energy resourses and of the various corridors needed to bring oil, gas and water out of the area, the stakes have been raised by Putin's (and Gazprom's) Russia on the very eve of Putin taking over the presidency of the G8 and Gazprom placing 49% of its juicy shares on the market.

textIs a moneyless economy possible? 22:58 Fri 25 Nov by Terry 17 comments

Anarchists want a non-market socialist economy, with free access to goods and services. Is this just a nice but impossible idea? Is an efficient economy possible without money, trade or barter? Terry reports from the discussion at an anarchist meeting in Dublin on this topic.

imageThe State and the power of Business Mar 08 by Zaher Baher 0 comments

This article is about the relation between the state and business. It shows how powerful the business is by imposing its conditions with the help of the rest of economic and financial institutions on the government and the state. The article also highlights the importance of fighting the state by the anarchists.

imageA Case for Anarchist Class Analysis May 01 by Leroy Maisiri 0 comments

The purpose of this pamphlet is giving a coherent, comparative analysis on how anarchists and Marxists view the concept of “class,” and the political implications of each approach. Class is the nucleus of both Marxism and anarchism; however the conceptualisation of class is different for both. In pointing out these differences, it is my hope that I will convincingly show how and why the anarchist conceptualisation of class is more comprehensive and more useful, providing a more holistic analysis of many related aspects of class, and a more practical political guide. In particular, the anarchist approach – which stresses ownership and control of administration and coercion, not only means of production, as with Marxism – allows us to develop an effective analysis of why the state simply cannot be used to emancipate the popular classes i.e. the working class, the poor and the peasantry.

Our global society is broken. Donald Trump & Brexit are symptoms along with the rise of the far right elsewhere in Europe. In an old pattern, fundamental economic crisis often results in society becoming very much more brutal for most people.  In the age of nuclear weapons this current crisis could be our last.  And with a somewhat longer countdown to disaster we are also facing climate catastrophe.

imagePutting Politics into Practice: The Importance of Democracy and Education in Unions Dec 02 by Pitso Mompe 0 comments

Trade unions have played a major role in defending workers’ rights against the bosses and politicians, also in advancing workers’ interests. This is why, even today, workers are still loyal to their unions. However, there are obstacles within the unions – one being the union bureaucracy, of paid and full-time officials. This can develop its own interests, undermining the unions.

This is a challenge faced by many unions. This bureaucracy is at times unable to represent workers’ grievances effectively: they often spend more time fighting amongst themselves for certain positions within the union instead of for workers’ rights. Due to this bureaucracy, which is structured hierarchically, higher positions hold more power, including in terms of decision-making. Those in leadership are often full-time and recieve much higher salaries than those of the workers they represent. This means they often want to prevent union actions that threaten their own positions, like long strikes.

textIn Defense of the Anarchist Use of Marx’s Economic Theory Aug 21 by Wayne Price 1 comments

Wayne Price has defended Marx's critique of political economy as useful for revolutionary anarchists. In the past many anarchists have agreed. But some have not, such as Kropotkin. Several topics in Marx's economic theory are discussed, criticisms reviewed, and responses given.
