1886 1º DE MAIO 2013 (127 ANOS DE LUTA PELA REDUÇÃO DA JORNADA DE TRABALHO) ---- Para muitos é só mais um feriado, é claro que gostam. Para alguns é motivo de festa, nesses se contam os burocratas do Estado, dos aparelhos sindicais, dos partidos políticos... neste ano comemoram o fascismo legalizado na CLT, criada por Getúlio, nos 70 ANOS DA CRIAÇÃO DO IMPOSTO SINDICAL, em 1933. Esses escroques, a verdadeira Farsa Sindical, mostram a sua face despudorada outra vez. Já estão em campanha para 2014... ---- Isso significa uma traição à memória operária, sua história de lutas, para que nós acreditemos que é só uma dádiva dos poderosos – que eles podem retirar quando quiserem. Ao reescrever a história - em consonância com o poder estabelecido: a burguesia no poder, tendo as Forças Armadas e a Técno-Burocracia ...

This year IWA Days of Action coincided with May Day. On May 1 and the days immediately preceding it, various actions were held by IWA sections around the globe. The following are a few of the reported actions. ---- Argentina ---- Members of FORA held May Day rallies in a few cities such as Buenos Aires, Neuquen, Rosario and in the Andes region. Members of FORA called on workers to create free unions which will not be part of any compromises and reminded of the tradition of the organization. ---- Brazil ---- Activists of COB-FORGS organized a May Day action in Porto Alegre. ---- They demonstrated, handed out leaflets, had a rally with speakers and played music. COB also organized a rally in Araxa, calling for the reduction of the working week to 30 hours without any reduction in pay and for workers' organization outside of the collaborationist unions. ...

Au sommaire: ---- Création d'un collectif antifasciste dans l'Hérault ---- A Saint-Denis comme ailleurs, non aux expulsions ! ---- Contre la répression des mouvements sociaux,la lutte paie ---- La peur doit changer de camp ---- Qu'est-ce que la Coordination des Groupes Anarchistes? ---- Libertaires Anti-fascisme Création d'un collectif anti-fasciste dans l'Hérault ---- La crise économique et sociale qui secoue l'Europe et notamment la France favorise la montée des idées fascistes. Ce mouvement se nourrit des inégalités économiques et sociales engendrées par le système capitaliste ; il concentre la colère populaire sur les minorités stigmatisées en raison de leurs origines, leur sexualité ou leur culture. ---- En ce sens il peut, en temps de crise, être un recours pour les classes dominantes. ...

Muitxs submetidxs ao sistema atual, nem percebem ou pouco se dão conta o quanto do modelo escravo se mantém. ---- A sociedade atual construiu mascaras e subterfúgios que mantém essa condição imersa nas relações de trabalho. O que mais aponta para a escravidão reinante é não possibilidade das pessoas terem controle da riqueza. Através de uma convenção, de um contrato, x trabalhadorx (empregado no jargão jurídico) abdica (sabendo ou não) do que produzirá, das riquezas que colaborará para fazer, em troca de uma fração ínfima dessa riqueza, denominada salário. Quando isso ocorre, cada umx que produz deixa de receber integralmente parte direta da riqueza que produziu, muito similar a submissão do escravo, que deveria trabalhar ou morrer. ...

Yesterday a new Nottingham campaign http://nottingham.indymedia.org/articles/5642 was begun to demand that Framework, a local homelessness and housing charity, stops using mandatory work placements from the Job Centre. Everyone can get involved. ---- Charity involvement in workfare, where benefits claimants are forced to work for free with the threat of cut-off benefits if they do not, is rife in Britain – see the list of ‘providers’ compiled by Boycott Workfare http://www.boycottworkfare.org/?page_id=16 . The goodwill of true volunteers, a vital part of most charities, can only be degraded by the coercion of these work-for-free schemes which also displace paid jobs. Some of the larger charities may operate like any cut-throat business and not care how they cut costs, but at least some have been shamed into pulling out of workfare ...

La Grèce est un pays qui constitue un très bel exemple des fluctuations du capitalisme: une économie agricole et épuisée par des guerres et des dictatures qui est entrée dans une période de prosperité qui a duré une trentaine d'années puis a fini par devenir le pays européen le plus endetté auprès du FMI. ---- Depuis deux années, le peuple est en mode « survie ». Il fait des efforts gigantesques pour payer les impôts fonciers exigés par le gourvernement (la majorité des familles grecques étant propriétaire), qui se montent jusqu'à 1_500 euros environ pour une petite maison ou un grand appartement pour une famille et qui sont incorporés à la facture d'éléctricité, les habitants n'ayant d'autres choix que de payer ou rester sans éléctricité. Pire, selon la nouvelle législation, les personnes qui ne sont pas capables de payer peuvent être imprisonnées si leur dette ...

Greece is a country that is a very good example of the fluctuations of capitalism: an agricultural economy and exhausted by wars and dictatorships which came in a period of prosperity that lasted thirty years and eventually became the country Europe's largest debtor to the IMF. ---- For two years, the people in survival mode. It makes huge efforts to pay real property taxes levied by the Governement (most Greek families owning), amounting to 1_500 euros for a small house or a large apartment for a family and are incorporated into the electricity bill, people who have no choice but to pay or remain without electricity. Worse, under the new legislation, those who are unable to pay can be imprisonnées if their debt reached 5_000 euros. ...

Back before many people had discovered the internet a small group of anarchists including this writer began work on the Anarchist FAQ. We were tired of having to provide the same basic explanations over and over as new people joined the news net group, alt.soc.anarchism, so we began the FAQ so newcomers could be referred to it. ---- I soon dropped out of the project as did most of the others involved but a small group, with Iain McKay the most active among them, kept working on it year after year. In the sixteen years that have passed the FAQ has became huge and an exhaustive argument for anarchism. ---- Long texts are hard to read off a computer screen so publication of the FAQ in a printed form was an obvious step. Volume 2 of the FAQ has just been published by AK Press, it is a six hundred plus page volume containing sections G-J of the FAQ. ...

Gerd Stange, Aktivist seit den 1970er Jahren, kehrt in die politische Bewegung zurück mit einem Text, der deutlichen Manifest-Charakter hat und in dem er eine Lanze für die Utopie bricht – eben mit dem Zitat Victor Hugos, dass die Utopie die Wahrheit von morgen sei. --- Revolutionär Neues muss man dabei nicht erwarten – und vielleicht ist das auch vollkommen in Ordnung so, denn die alten Ideen und Utopien sind ja nun teilweise so verschütt gegangen, dass es ein durchaus lohnenswertes Projekt darstellt, diese noch mal in Erinnerung zu rufen und neu zu kombinieren – gerade in einer Zeit, in der Utopien als „utopisch“ gelten. ---- MUT ZUR UTOPIE ---- Dass sie das nicht sind, hat der Frankfurter Sozialwissenschaftler Alex Demirovic mal auf den Punkt gebracht, als er betonte, dass die VertreterInnen des Neoliberalismus im Gegensatz zur Neuen Linken Mut zur Utopie bewiesen ...

There comes a point where you either fight back or you make peace with being a slave. I can’t make peace with being a slave, so I have to fight back. I am sick of smirking tea party republicans, I am sick of bosses who treat free working people like servants; I am sick of being forced to pay more while people who are filthy rich pay little or nothing. I’m sick of war for profit and homeless shelters full of veterans. I’m sick of men and women working 40 hours a week and still having to endure the embarrassment of applying for food benefits to feed their families. I’m sick of a prison system that is used as a substitute for decent education and good jobs. ---- I don’t know how general strikes work, but I do know we need one. When the republican scum rammed through “Right to Freeload” in Michigan, the words were on the lips of many of the workers on the capitol lawn, as well ...
