Il mondo malato

Quanti anni sono passati dal vertice di Kyoto che partorì il famoso protocollo, secondo il quale gran parte degli Stati della Terra si impegnavano a ridurre le proprie emissioni di CO2 e degli altri gas serra, responsabili principali dell'aumento repentino della temperatura media del Pianeta?

Come possiamo continuare a delegare i nostri bisogni, la difesa della nostra salute e dell'ambiente biologico in cui viviamo, a persone che, per il ruolo sociale che rivestono, pensano prima di tutto ad accumulare denaro e proprietà, infischiandosene del bene collettivo?

Il 24 febbraio in un vertice bilaterale svoltosi a Villa Madama, a Roma, Silvio Berlusconi e Nicolas Sarkozy hanno firmato un Protocollo che getta le basi per una cooperazione in tutti i settori della filiera produttiva dell'energia atomica che accompagna il primo concreto atto verso il ritorno dell'Italia al nucleare.

Ma gli obiettivi futuri dello Stato italiano in campo energetico, del tutto in linea con la berlusconiana megalomania, sono molto più ambiziosi del suddetto protocollo d'intesa e prevedono entro il 2020 un contributo dell'energia nucleare sulla potenza totale elettrica italiana installata del 12%.

Ciò significa mettere in campo circa 12 mila megawatt e per realizzare questo obiettivo i nostri governanti non disdegnano di rivolgersi anche alla concorrenza dei francesi, ossia l'americana Westinghouse, costruttrice degli impianti Ap1000.

E ciò significa costruire almeno una decina di centrali, calcolando un cocktail tra gli Epr, aventi una potenza media di circa 1600 megawatt, e gli Ap1000 più piccoli, con potenza media di 1100 megawatt. La media di una centrale ogni due regioni.

Tutto ciò quando, nella peggiore delle ipotesi, noi sfruttiamo nei momenti di maggior consumo solo il 75% della potenza elettrica gia installata nel nostro territorio, con una riserva di potenza elettrica che non ha eguali nel mondo.

Peak Oil Theory has been around since the 1970s. Some think we have already reached 'peak oil', others think it will happen with the next twenty-five years. The theory argues that when we reach 'peak oil' the rate at which we extract oil from the earth (measured in millions of barrels per day) will reach a maximum and thereafter will start to drop.

As the rate at which we use oil is currently close to the rate at which we extract it, the point of peak oil will coincide or be closely followed by the world consuming more oil than it is producing. As oil reserves are very limited, within months there simply will not be enough oil available.

ireland / britain / environment Saturday December 31, 2005 20:13 by Sean
The economic boom in Ireland and the construction boom that has come alongside it has led to a growth in the importance of environmental campaigns. There has frequently been a large gap between the environmentalists involved in such campaigns and the left - including anarchists. Sean, one of the 'Carrickminders' and now a member of the WSM gives his view on what can be learnt from the recent struggles.

This article is not an attempt to be a pejorative statement from a class struggle point of view; there is a lot to be learnt on our part from these campaigns. Primarily the heritage based activists who took on the authorities at Carrickmines and the ecologists at the Glen of the Downs were doing something we failed at - taking on the issue of the environment. The campaign at Carrickmines, which I was directly involved in, felt resentment at the time due to the lack of participation and even interest from organised political left-wing groups

Residents of the Eris peninsula in North Mayo have for five years being fighting against a proposed high-pressure gas pipeline line. The pipeline will pass over land, approaching farms and houses as close as 20 metres in some cases. A consortium comprising Shell, Marathon and Statoil is building the pipeline

For about a month now locals with some help from outside have been blockading the proposed refinery site, the Shell depot and the site where the pipeline is supposed to come ashore. This July five of them jailed for refusing to allow Shell from moving onto their own land which has sparked off an escalating round of nationwide protests including the blockading of Shell and Statoil filling stations and depots.

Irish anarchists have been playing a role in these protests for some time including a few who have been working with the locals for months. A number of reports have already been carried on Anarkismo.net - here we bring these together with some more detailed explanations about what is going on.

The unions in Australia today are a shadow of their former selves, led by cowards whose main job is to police their members to ensure that unions aren't fined out of business by the vicious anti-union laws. This needs to be turned around completely before workers will consider fighting for a Just Transition – but also for workers to defend working conditions, maintain health and safety and be adequately compensated for the inflation that is now ripping through the economy and devastating real wages. And to do that, we need to take on the union bureaucracy and beat them.

À l’été 2021, le gouvernement du Québec officialisait son rejet du projet d’usine de liquéfaction du gaz naturel de GNL Québec après avoir longuement persisté à le promouvoir. Cette volteface sur un projet évalué à 14 milliards $ est le résultat de plusieurs années de luttes écologistes. Concrètement, ce sont de petits collectifs populaires locaux, organisés sur la base d’assemblées, qui ont réussi à faire pencher la balance. Devant eux se dressaient un promoteur, un État et des élu-e-s qui ont dépensé des millions $ dans une bataille qui leur était annoncée gagnée d’avance par un gouvernement conquis à leurs idées.

Not every step that is necessary is suitable for solving at the level of the individual workplace. Cities need a massive expansion of public transport and improvement of facilities for active transport modes like walking and cycling. Mobilising public transport workers alone, however, would be insufficient to achieve the power necessary to get the system expanded to the degree required. These questions, and some others, would have to be resolved at the society-wide level by the labour movement as a whole.

What is necessary is to create workplace climate groups that link up with the School Strike for Climate. These groups will discuss the way the climate crisis affects their industries, the responsibility of their bosses for aggravating climate change and what possible solutions could be. They would develop the School Strike for Climate into a Workers’ Strike for Climate. In the process, workers would need to become capable of acting independently of the union officials and of defeating them when these officials try to dampen down action.

Classical socialists, both anarchists and Marxists, have written of the eventual end of capitalism--either through a popular revolution creating a new society or through the self-destruction of capitalism. Global warming raises the question of whether humanity is now facing such a possible total crisis, of choosing between socialism or social ruin.

In risposta al modello industriale e capitalista di produzione alimentare che ha decimato i modi di vita rurali e la nostra madre terra, i movimenti sociali di tutto il mondo hanno identificato l'agroecologia come la loro proposta alternativa per lo sviluppo rurale. Fondata sulle conoscenze contadine e indigene, sulle lotte per la sovranità alimentare e sulla riforma agraria, l'agroecologia è intesa dai movimenti sociali come "uno strumento per la trasformazione sociale, economica, culturale, politica ed ecologica delle comunità e dei territori". Questa intervista che Black Rose ha condotto nell'estate del 2020 con un militante del Fronte di Lotta Contadina della Federazione Anarchica di Rio de Janeiro (FARJ), esamina il loro lavoro con alcuni dei movimenti sociali del Brasile che lottano per l'agroecologia e la sovranità alimentare. Provenendo da un contesto con movimenti sociali contadini molto sviluppati, FARJ condivide importanti intuizioni da cui i militanti anarchici possono imparare.

Em resposta ao modelo industrial capitalista de produção de alimentos que dizimou modos de vida rurais e nossa mãe Terra, movimentos sociais ao redor do mundo identificaram a agroecologia como sua proposta alternativa para o desenvolvimento rural. Baseadas em conhecimentos camponeses e indígenas, lutas pela soberania alimentar e reforma agrária, a agroecologia é compreendida pelos movimentos sociais como “uma ferramenta para a transformação social, econômica, cultural, política e ecológica de comunidades e territórios.” Esta entrevista que o Rosa Negra conduziu no Verão de 2020 [no hemisfério norte] com um militante da Frente de Luta Camponesa da Federação Anarquista do Rio de Janeiro (FARJ), mostra seu trabalho com a luta de alguns movimentos sociais brasileiros por agroecologia e soberania alimentar. Em um contexto de movimentos sociais camponeses altamente desenvolvidos, a FARJ compartilha questões importantes para o aprendizado dos militantes anarquistas.

Στον θόρυβο που έχει δημιουργηθεί στις μέρες μας σε σχέση με την κλιματική αλλαγή μπορούν και πρέπει να ειπωθούν πολλά. Το παρόν κείμενο του Price είναι ένα κείμενο σημερινό (δημοσιεύτηκε το Γενάρη 2019 – πριν γίνει ο μεγάλος ντόρος) το οποίο μας δίνει τη μεγάλη εικόνα από την άλλη μεριά του Ατλαντικού. Οι αναγνώστες ας έχουν κατά νου ότι αντίστοιχο με του αμερικανικού «Πράσινου New Deal» πάει να επιτευχθεί και σε επίπεδο Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης (οι προτάσεις έχουν ήδη κατέβει στο ευρωκοινοβούλιο). Αυτά σαν μια προσπάθεια κατανόησης της πρεμούρας των αστών για το κλίμα σήμερα…
Το κείμενο είναι “σημερινό” ωστόσο τα ζητήματα αυτά οι Αναρχικοί, ανά τον κόσμο, τα έχουν στην ατζέντα τους εδώ και πολλά χρόνια. Σε θεωρητικό επίπεδο τίποτα δεν έχει αλλάξει· το ζήτημα της οικολογίας παραμένει στην επιφάνεια, μαζί με την αναγκαιότητα καταστροφής του συστήματος της ατομικής ιδιοκτησίας.

Η Αναρχική Κομμουνιστική Ομάδα Μελβούρνης πιστεύει ότι το Κίνημα Απεργιών στα Σχολεία για το Κλίμα έχει μεγάλες δυνατότητες και ότι θα πρέπει ολόψυχα να ενωθούν μαζί του τα συνδικάτα. Οι σχολικές απεργίες πρέπει να μετατραπούν σε απεργίες των εργαζομένων. Στην Αυστραλία, η επόμενη ημέρα παγκόσμιας σχολικής απεργίας πρέπει να είναι η ευκαιρία μαζικών συντονισμένων απεργιών από εργαζόμενους από όσο το δυνατόν περισσότερες βιομηχανίες και κλάδους, με στόχο την οικοδόμηση μιας γενικής απεργίας. Η δύναμη του κεφαλαίου δημιουργείται στο χώρο εργασίας και μόνο με την οργάνωση εκεί μπορούν οι εργαζόμενοι να ανατρέψουν αυτή την εξουσία, να την αφαιρέσουν από τους καπιταλιστές και να την χειριστούν οι ίδιοι.

The Melbourne Anarchist Communist Group believes that the School Strike for Climate movement has great potential and that it should be joined wholeheartedly by the unions. School strikes should be turned into workers’ strikes. In Australia, the next global school strike day should be the occasion for mass co-ordinated strikes by workers from as many industries as possible, with the aim of building towards a general strike. The power of capital arises in the workplace and it is only by organising there that workers can wrench that power away from the capitalists and wield it themselves.

The general strike for a Just Transition will be the beginning, but not the end of the matter. We will open up a debate about the dimensions and shape of the Just Transition. As the struggle progresses, more workers will come to realise that the only Just Transition is a transition away from capitalism. Two facts will drive this. First more people will see the existing capitalist class is so invested in fossil fuels that it has to be swept aside for humanity to achieve sustainability. The understanding will also emerge that eternal growth is the ideology of the cancer cell. Only by abolishing capitalism can we disconnect living standards from resource consumption and adopt a circular zero waste economy.

Expandir fronteras agroganaderas mediante la quema de un cierto territorio (técnica de rose y quema) es una práctica antigua y recurrente en muchas culturas a lo largo de la historia. Usualmente se la considera una técnica “primitiva”, propia de aquellas sociedades mal llamadas “de economía de subsistencia” . No obstante, paradójicamente, es dentro del capitalismo moderno donde esta técnica ha tomado dimensiones desproporcionadas que han provocado la destrucción irreversible de ecosistemas así como el masivo etnocidio hacia pueblos indígenas que viven dentro de aquellos territorios deseados por la burguesía rural y el Estado.

Τα στοιχεία του Εθνικού Ινστιτούτου Έρευνας (INPE) έδειξαν σημαντική αύξηση των πυρκαγιών από τις 10 Αυγούστου και ιδιαίτερα στους Δήμους Novo Progreso και Altamira, οι οποίοι περιλαμβάνονται τόσο στο πρόγραμμα ROUTE BR-163 όσο και στo πρόγραμμα αποδάσωσης εκ μέρους των «αφεντικών» της περιοχής του Αμαζονίου. Σύμφωνα με το INPE, ο Novo Progresso διαθέτει στοιχεία για 124 αρχικούς πυρήνες πυρκαγιάς κατά τη διάρκεια της «ημέρας της φωτιάς», δηλαδή αύξηση κατά 300% σε σχέση με την προηγούμενη ημέρα. Την επόμενη μέρα υπήρχαν 203 πυρήνες. Στη Altamira, οι δορυφόροι ανίχνευσαν 194 πυρήνες στις 10 Αυγούστου και 237 την επόμενη ημέρα, μια εντυπωσιακή αύξηση κατά 743%.

When it comes to greenhouse gas emissions, South Africa falls within the 15 biggest polluters in the world. But there is also a class dimension when it comes to pinning down which sections of society are responsible for air pollution – the major polluters in South Africa are the ruling class (capitalists, politicians and top state bureaucrats) and their state and corporations (including state corporations), continuing an economy based on cheap black labour, mining and externalising costs. State-backed”empowerment” firms — for Afrikaners from 1948, and blacks from 1994 — are deeply involved.
