Both NATO and Russia must be opposed, and should war eventuate, our job is not to pick a side but to work to end the war as quickly as possible. Should war break out then the spectre of 1917 needs to be made a reality again. The best defence against imperialist wars will always be a powerful, militant working-class and the fear of revolution that brings. read full story / add a comment

Γερμανικής καταγωγής αναρχικός, κατασκευαστής βουρτσών και πινέλων στο επάγγελμα, που μετακόμισε στη Βραζιλία και εγκαταστάθηκε στο Rio Grande do Sul πριν ενταχθεί στο εργατικό και αναρχικό κίνημα στο Porto Alegre. Στα απομνημονεύματα του João Perdigcão Gutierrez (που βρίσκονταν στα χέρια του Edgar Rodrigues) αναφέρεται ότι στην Ευρώπη ο Kniestedt δραστηριοποιήθηκε στο πλευρό του Kropotkin, του Malatesta και άλλων παγκοσμίου φήμης αναρχικών. Ένας πολύ μορφωμένος διανοούμενος, που έφυγε από τη Γερμανία για να γλιτώσει τη θανατική ποινή που του επιβλήθηκε για τις επαναστατικές του πεποιθήσεις. read full story / add a comment

Alasbarricadas - We echo this historical review on the various positions that the CNT-FAI took along the Spanish Revolution. It is not usually easy to understand the complexity of a historical moment in which so many things were happening at the same time. We consider basic to understand the tactical ups and downs of any revolutionary movement in a historical moment in order to be able to learn something for our future struggles.

The article is not an academic one, but it sheds light on some little-known facts about how the CNT navigated 1938, in terms of tactics and strategy. This period has usually been completely erased, automatically branded as obscure, shameful, claudicating or bureaucratic without any attempt to understand what the libertarian organisations were actually doing. It is assumed that the drift of the war and, as the article says, the pessimism that surrounded the organisation from mid-1937 onwards, resulted in a shift in the strategic line of the libertarian movement to approaches as different from libertarian communism as could be the "trade union state" or corporate socialism.

We know that this article is the tip of the iceberg of a world that cannot be explained in a struggle of the good guys against the bad guys. Everything is full of nuances. We miss an explanation on the opposition to this shift. But to have treated that opposition as it deserves would have diverted the article from conveniently (and at a manageable length) presenting us the official line of the Movimiento Libertario Español (MLE) of '37 and '38.

And by the way, even if this history presents us with an unclear evolution towards bureaucratism and centralism, we are still amazed at with the enormous capacity of those people who built up our organisations and managed the daily lives of millions of people. Because, it must be said, when there was supposedly no social revolution any more, there were still hundreds of thousands of people living in collectivisations and a large part of industry was still under workers' control.

The Greek state has a long tradition in the racist management of refugees and migrants within it. The on going war and poverty in the Middle East and Africa (to which the Greek state actively contributes), the exclusion and exploitation policies, as well as ecological disaster, are forcing hundreds of thousands of people to seek a better future in Europe.
The planning of the European Union, however, holds a nightmarish future for them, with the Greek state being behind the expansive military interventions and at the forefront of the war against migrants on the European territories. read full story / add a comment

The Centre-Periphery model of class struggle, as elaborated by FARJ (Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro) in Social Anarchism and Organisation (2008), has been a much debated topic within ACM. This article will seek to explain the concept by analysing FARJ’s source for the concept in Rudolf De Jong’s ‘Some Remarks on the Libertarian Conception of Revolutionary Change’ (1975) before discussing the possible uses and applications for anarchists within so-called Australia. read full story / add a comment

We need free access to medical care that gives us the ability of choice, of support, of making our decision, of safe pregnancy, of facilitating a decision to terminate it and decent conditions in any kind of gynecological examination. For migrants and locals, towards the self – determination of our bodies. read full story / add a comment

The LNP government has announced this week its planned changes to the JobSeeker payment in so-called Australia. After 27 years of no increases, they have decided to raise the dole from $40 a day all the way up to $43 a day. This leaves the payment far below the relative poverty line. The real concern with these changes is the increase to already draconian mutual obligations forced onto the unemployed.
As anarchists we understand that capitalism’s illusion of being consensual and contractual is a bald-face lie, so how then can we fight back against not just these changes but the entire rotten welfare system in this country?
There are already the usual calls of putting pressure onto the Labor Party who have shown time and time again they are no friends of those in poverty. We need to build popular power in the movements and build alliances. read full story / add a comment

The notorious flu epidemic of 1918 – known as the ‘Spanish’ flu epidemic – was first reported among US troops bound for the First World War trenches. Given the enormous mobility of troops at the time, the disease was largely free to spread to fresh population centres and so it claimed the lives of 50 million people worldwide. Spreading like wildfire. A powerful example of the destructive power of a pandemic. read full story / add a comment

La famosa epidèmia de grip de 1918, anomenada “grip espanyola”, va aparèixer per primera vegada entre els soldats americans que anaven a les trinxeres de la Primera Guerra Mundial. A causa de la gran mobilitat de tropes d’aquells dies la malaltia va poder estendre’s amb gran llibertat entre noves poblacions. D’aquesta manera va matar la barbaritat de 50 milions de persones a tot el món. Es diu ràpid. Constitueix un poderós exemple del potencial destructiu que té una pandèmia. read full story / add a comment

La logica privatistica introdotta nella sanità pubblica, l’estensione del concetto della competitività con il corrispettivo allargamento di quella privata, ha portato ad una costante ed ineluttabile riduzione di posti letto complessivi.
Oltre a questa falcidia nel 2015 il Governo Renzi nel regolamento per gli standard ospedalieri definito con decreto (Decreto n70 del 02\04\2015) ha stabilito che un utilizzo medio dell’ 80/90 % dei posti letto durante l’anno deve essere ritenuto sufficiente.
Quindi basta che i pazienti di Covid-19 raggiungano il 10/20 % dei posti letto di rianimazione a disposizione per saturare i Reparti. read full story / add a comment

The "Battle of Seattle," which began November 30th, 1999, was a major event in the history of US radical struggle, and one of the high-points of the "non-violent direct action movement." Exactly 20 years later, Robin J. Cartwright analyzes the the rise, fall, and inner contradictions of the non-violent direct action movement, as well as the lessons we can learn from it today. read full story / add a comment
