\o/ Appel à des journées d?action/rencontre \o/ :< autour des médias libres à Lyon du 9 au 13 juillet 2008 >: ------------------------------------------------------------- Les médias bourgeois sont omniprésents dans le quotidien du plus grand nombre, et leur capacité d?anéantissement des luttes sociales n?est plus à démontrer, ni leur attachement au libéralisme le plus basique. Le front de lutte sur la question de l?information est devenu essentiel. Constitué d?initiatives et supports variés et éparpillés, il nous paraît nécessaire de décloisonner et partager nos pratiques et ...

Ces journées du 15/16 mai étaient la dernière échéance judiciaire pour le squat du Prat Del Ronc. Les deux assignations au tribunal ont été l'occasion d'organiser une mobilisation et de diffuser une critique de la propriété, de la justice, et des logiques capitalistes agissant ici comme partout. Durant cette mobilisation nous n'avons pas acquis le rapport de force nécessaire à l'obstruction de la procédure judiciaire d'expulsion. Nous sommes en terrain conquis: l'absence casi-totale d'expression politique ...

A WSM member exposes one of the shadier anti - Lisbon treaty groups Irish citizens voted against the EU Nice treaty in June 2001 briefly throwing a spanner into the works of the neoliberal EU agenda. The response was to force a second vote accompanied by a lot of scare mongering the following year. Shortly before the second referendum the pro-neoliberal media 'revealed' that the leader of the right wing anti-treaty campaign had been present at far right meetings in Germany, something that helped scare people into voting for the treaty second time around. Once more Irish citizens are voting on an EU treaty. This time around some months before the vote WSM member Chekov Feeny published this expose of the strange connections of another right wing anti-treaty group, an article that illustrates the inter imperialist rivalry between the supposed USA and EU 'allies'.. In part to seperate the anarchist 'No' campaign from the right but also to pre-empt a repeat of Nice 2 with such last minute 'revelations' being used to attack the no campaign in general. ...

Kim Keyser is an activist from the nascent anarchist movement in Norway - the so-called "social democratic paradise" in Northern Europe. This summer he'll be touring the US with an illustrated presentation called "The Prefigurative Organization".

It will touch upon subjects such as direct democracy, direct action, workers councils, anarchist organizing and involvement in social movements. ---- A complementing pamphlet called "The Prefigurative Organization" - which has been made specifically for the speaking tour - will be available. ---- After the presentation there will be a ...

A personal report from last week's action days for autonomous spaces in Berlin. This report reflects the thoughts and opinions of the authors, not of any campaign, although these opinions may be shared by others. ---- Berlin - in Chaos! ---- Report back from Action Days for Autonomous Space May 27 to June 1 "we do not wish to find ourselves in a world where no one really lives, where no one really knows anyone else, where everyone has become a mere cog in a machine meshing with other cogs but remaining truly alone, then we must have the strength to attack alienation in every way we can." ---- "We believe for a space to be truly autonomous it must first be liberated. Liberated in our sense ...

The Workers Solidarity Movement are printing and distributing 50,000 of the following leaflets in our campaign for a 'No' vote on the referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. ---- WSM anti - Lisbon treaty leaflet ---- Lisbon - So What’s It All About Then? ---- Over recent months, there’s been endless talk about the Lisbon Treaty. Most political parties advise us that we’ll be embarrassed and economically ruined if we don’t vote ‘Yes’. Groups advocating a ‘No’ vote tell us that we will lose our democracy and sovereignty if we do vote ‘Yes’. We as Anarchists think they have both missed the point. People in Ireland can do a lot better than a choice between the clowns in the Dáil or those in Brussels. ...

Today some people claim that Christianity, rather than being an outdated superstition, can be a part of anarchism. They have started groups of "christian anarchists." Have they any real claim to serious consideration? What is anarchism? Anarchism means "no power", no violent power, no power over people not exercised by themselves, no State. A State is also an organisation of people, but of a group of people who have taken all the power in a society into their hands to the detriment of the rest of society. Understood in this way, is anarchism at all compatible with Christian teachings? The anarchism developed by Michael Bakunin was clearly anti-Christian. God is a Lord, a master. How can ...

By John Gibler, June 7, Z Net

This past Wednesday, June 4, a military convoy of about 200 Mexican soldiers and federal and municipal police attempted to enter Zapatista villages under the pretext of searching for marijuana plants; something patently absurd in communities that have maintained a self-imposed "dry law," prohibiting all drugs and all forms of alcohol throughout Zapatista territories for nearly fifteen years.

The convoy first stopped at the entrance to the Garrucha Caracol (the regional seat of the Good Government Council, or Junta de Buen Gobierno). Four soldiers stepped out into the road, others photographed and filmed the Zapatistas from their vehicles, but the community began to draw people together, shouting at the soldiers to leave, and gathering slingshots, machetes, rocks, and sticks. The soldiers quickly got back in their vehicles and continued down the road.

The convoy joined a second convoy down the road where they all descend and set off walking to the Zapatista support community of Galaena. A police officer from Ocosingo, Feliciano Román Ruiz, guides the soldiers through the trails towards the community.

In Galaena, the men, women, and children organized to bar the soldiers' entrance to the community.

In the Middle of the Whirlwind, an intervention in to the movement

Precarious work is a central concept in movement discussions of the capitalist reorganization of work and class relations in today’s global economy. Silvia Federici analyzes the potential and limits of this concept as an analytic and organizational tool. She claims reproductive labor is a hidden continent of work and struggle the movement must recognize in its political work, if it is to address the key questions we face in organizing for an alternative to capitalist society. How do we struggle over reproductive labor without destroying ourselves, and our communities? How do we create a self-reproducing movement? How do we overcome the sexual, racial, and generational hierarchies built upon the wage?

This lecture took place on October 28th 2006 at Bluestockings Radical Bookstore in New York City, 172 Allen Street as part of the “This is Forever: From Inquiry to Refusal Discussion Series. “
