The attack on Charlie Hebdo last January was carefully designed to the full benefit of IS, but also to the benefit of the ruling Elite in the advanced capitalist world. It was not intended as punishment for Charlie Hebdo's satiric attitude toward what IS considers as "sacred", but as punishment for millions of Muslims who accepted such an attitude by their silence, especially Muslims who live in France and the west. IS, like everyone else, knew very well that Muslims in Europe and the west will be under heavier pressure after such an attack. IS offered Muslims only one way to defend themselves: to accept its fundamentalist hyper-dogmatic version of Islam and join its ranks - martyrdom and heaven through killing and suicide bombing. The message of IS was clear: freedom of conscience and expression is never a part of Muslims' identity, so it must be declined, denied and fought against. Both IS and the western elite accepted this as a "fact". [Italiano] read full story / add a comment
southern africa / the left / feature Tuesday March 24, 2015 23:06 by Shawn Hattingh 1 image
Karl Marx once said that history repeats itself, first as a tragedy then as a farce. A case in point is that in South Africa sections of the left are once again calling for a mass workers’ party (MWP) to be formed to contest elections – this they believe will bring us closer to revolution. History says otherwise. Of course the new calls for a MWP stem from the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) breaking from the African National Congress (ANC). As an outcome NUMSA is exploring the possibility of setting up a MWP to contest elections. Many Marxist and leftist influenced organisations, but also cadres within NUMSA, are therefore providing reasons why activists should be interested in such a party. read full story / add a comment

El desfalco a la Empresa de Ferrocarriles del Estado (EFE) obligó al cierre de numerosas estaciones y dejó a cientos de comunas sumidas en la pobreza y el olvido. La triste herencia del gobierno de Lagos se convirtió en la bandera de lucha de un pueblo que se cansó de esperar: Yumbel quiere ser recodado no solo por su santo. read full story / add a comment
venezuela / colombia / luchas indígenas / opinión / análisis Tuesday March 24, 2015 08:19 by Grupo Estudiantil Anarquista 1 image
Desde aquel 1492, el sol se empañó pero no se apagó, los pueblos indígenas y nosotras (trabajadoras, estudiantes, profesoras, campesinas, entre otras) seguimos en lucha y resistencia sin menguar la perseverancia. Estas tierras son de aquellas personas habitantes de esta masa continental mucho antes de la mal llamada “conquista”. Son sus habitantes legítimas mucho antes de las fronteras y banderas. read full story / add a comment

"Este es un Paro para expresar nuestro malestar porque aunque muchos políticos coinciden con nosotros que a este proyecto de reforma deben hacerse muchos reparos, estos iban a hacerse conversando con los trabajadores, con sus organizaciones representativas, y la verdad es que a pesar de haber solicitado audiencia 2 veces a la Comisión de Trabajo de la Cámara, simplemente no nos invitaron." read full story / add a comment |
