Over all the forms of oppression and exploitation we face today, debt is cast like a shadow. In “Capital’s Shadow”, Paul Bowman analyses left wing theorisations of debt and concludes that there is a lack in their understanding of “the real nature of money” and poses the need for a “new research project that analyses not only value, but value at risk over time, and through that the role of credit, risk and the world market in the current global regime of accumulation.”

En Euskal Herria,como en la mayor parte de países, el fútbol es el deporte más popular. Sin embargo y aunque parezca extraño desde nuestra perspectiva, a escala mundial está seguido muy de cerca en número de aficionados por el cricket,que es un deporte hegemónico en antiguas colonias británicas con alta densidad de población.

Συγκέντρωση και πορεία στην Κύπρο
Για όλους και όλες εμάς που εργαζόμαστε ή είμαστε άνεργοι/ες, σπουδάζουμε και αγωνιζόμαστε καθημερινά, η Πρωτομαγιά είναι ημέρα μνήμης των αγώνων του τότε, των δικών μας συναδέλφων, συντρόφων και νεκρών, τους οποίους τιμούμε μακριά από μια “ακίνδυνη” επετειακή λογική.

Report del 17.04.13
Sono passati 65 anni dal giorno ufficiale della Nakhba ed ai vecchi ricordi dolorosi si aggiungono quelli più recenti. Tuttavia, la sconfitta non fu completa. La Tsumud - la persistenza - si erge forte a frustrare ancora gli sforzi dei coloni sionisti che intendono completare la "pulizia etnica" della Palestina dai Palestinesi. Lo lotta unitaria non-armata che è nelle cronache di tutti i media del mondo è sul punto di bloccare e persino far regredire i progetti di pulizia etnica. [http://www.anarkismo.net/article/25343]

On the eve of International Women’s Day, so-called men’s rights advocates at the University of Toronto hosted an event confronting women’s studies and academic feminism. This was a follow-up to their event in November featuring self-proclaimed ex-feminist Warren Farrell, author of the book the Myth of Male Power. Warren Farrell is best known for his statements about women making false accusations of rape and his argument that incest can be a positive experience, if only women were not socialized to be victims.

Last Friday in Bil'in - the 426th demo of which I have participated in more than 400. As usual we were shot at with tear gas grenades and canisters, part of which I had to evade as they were shot in my direction. Part of the tear gas of the others I mostly evaded too. Now, on my chair in front of the computer I am taunted with the thought that I and scores of Israeli activists of the Anarchists Against the Wall initiative and others who participate in the joint struggle just got used to being shot at week after week. Some who are less lucky or less agile have taken more punishment than me... The Israeli media is used to it too, reporting on the shooting and us and the Palestinian partners as if it is just the weather. The banality of evil is the prevailing character of Israel these days, reminding more and more people of places and occurrences of other countries in other times.

Considerando que la búsqueda de la paz con justicia social es un asunto que le concierne al conjunto de la sociedad colombiana, nos encontramos cerca de 20.000 personas en el Congreso para la Paz para mandatar en torno a una agenda, y el movimiento social, que requiere el país para encontrar una solución definitiva al conflicto social, político y armado que nos aqueja hace casi medio siglo.

Los recientes resultados electorales han generado un conjunto de debates que buscan tanto caracterizar las causas del poco margen obtenido, como poner de manifiesto los nudos de tensión y problematización que permitan, en la coyuntura actual, re-definir y darle continuidad a la imagen de futuro proyectada en la figura de Chávez como líder indiscutible del proceso venezolano.

The anti-choice movements have been repeating over and over the message in recent months that 'abortion is never a treatment for suicidality' This is frequently coupled with citing the realtively low current rate of suicide among pregnant women.  But like other myths of the anti-choice movement it has emerged that until abortion became accessible to Irish women, through travelling to the UK, 10% of suicides of women in Ireland were of pregnant women, a figure far in excess of the general population.

How can we engage in any sort of creative thinking about human liberation, as long as there linger ideas that liberation depends not on active, participatory democracy but on a “Thatcher of the left”? Gabriel Levy

La importancia de entender el deterioro y destrucción de la naturaleza como conflicto socioambiental
En el Día Mundial del Agua, y estando por desgracia esta problemática muy vigente en Chile, les dejamos este artículo escrito para el nº15 del periódico libertario "Solidaridad" por Fresia Calderón.

Aminata Traoré (ancienne ministre démissionnaire de la culture du Mali, initiatrice de l’appel des Femmes du Mali contre la guerre), a été invitée à Paris pour exposer ses prises de position contre l’intervention française au Mali, lors d’une réunion publique prévue le 22 avril à l’AGECA et intitulée « Non à la guerre au Mali !

The risk of a coup d'état in Venezuela continues to be a real one, with more right-wing media analysis even betting that Nicolás Maduro will not finish his term. Apart from political Chavism, the guarantees of acquired rights are in the balance. [http://www.anarkismo.net/article/25378]
