Illustration protest Wednesday 29/9 at the head of Wind in Maroussi, conducted by the
National Workers Wind Association (Passe-WIND), together with other associations and
collectives and solidarity-ies.
In the notice calling the Passe-Wind said: Over the past two years our Association is
fighting for signing operational collective agreement based on our needs. After the
expiration of the contract (December 2014), the administration turned all facilities on
voluntary redundancies and continued with the method of coercion to resign, so many
colleagues have led to unemployment and intensified in sections beating red. In any
recruitment shall, wages are mostly lower, launching in practice to establish a system
where two gears are workers that will be replacing staff with new cheaper with the
ultimate aim of total salaries and allowances fall. This also requires the signature of a
collective agreement: the denial of service and the non-payment of language allowance to
newcomers (resulting in a gap of up to 35% of the older workers who covered the last
contract), the conversion of foreign language allowance in voluntarily providing older,
the discontinuance of extra days off in a section that works in a standby status. But he
stays there but makes an unprecedented proposal: integration in terms of the binding
agreement for debate on security personnel in order to legitimize the strikebreaking
mechanism that management sets in each mobilization and the company must be declared with
the agreement of the Association as utilities .. and all this in anticipation of the new
anti-worker measures will be submitted for approval and apoteleiosoun that still had left
from what we call 'labor law', giving a rich toolkit for employers.
The last General Assembly convened on 15.09.16 took once again the decision to continue
the fight for signing operational collective agreement with the terms of the latter,
without salary reductions and rights, without gaps between young and old workers. In this
context, we continue our demonstrations following the protests show that will take place
on 09.28.2016, out of the building of Wind facilities in Maroussi (66 Kifissias). Because
we believe that the fight that we do not begin and end in the Wind but overall terms the
industry and beyond and is part of the overall struggle against the attack we receive from
governments and employers, we invite our colleagues in Wind and associations and other
collectives to contribute to the success of mobilizing their active participation.

C'de Bobo at the "Reclaim June 16" demonstration in Soweto, 2009. ---- The ZACF is
saddened to learn of the passing away of comrade Bobo Makhoba in Soweto this Thursday 29
September, at the age of 41, after a long illness. He is survived by his son, to whom we
extend our deepest sympathies and condolences - as we do to the rest of his family,
friends and comrades. ---- Bobo was a founding member of the ZACF as well as one of the
original guerilla electricians for the Soweto Electricity Crisis Committee's Operation
Khanyisa campaign, which illegally reconnected thousands of households' electricity after
it was cut off for non-payment - forcing Eskom, the state electricity utility, to scrap
arrears for thousands of Sowetans. ---- Born in KwaNongoma in KwaZulu Natal, Bobo first
became involved in politics and struggle in high school, where he joined the Pan African
Students Organisation.
He became involved in social movements and community struggles when he joined the SECC,
soon after it was established in 2000, and later served as the organisation's organiser
and then co-ordinator.
He first came into contact with anarchism in 2002 during the mobilisations around the UN's
World Summit on Sustainable Development and soon thereafter established the Shesha Action
Group (SAG). Based in Dlamini, Soweto - where Bobo lived - the SAG ran a study group and
community food garden, as well as some of its members being active in the SECC and social
movements, and was one of the founding collectives of the ZACF in 2003.
The SAG was unfortunately not very long-lived, its members dispersed and Bobo later moved
toward Marxism and joined a small Trotskyite organisation but we maintained mutual respect
and comradely relations. Although we saw less of him in later years we were always happy
to run into him at demonstrations, where he would still ask to fly our red and black
flags, or at Careers Centre in Soweto, where the SECC has its office.
Comrade Bobo Makhoba will be remembered as a dedicated and struggle-hardened working class
militant who believed in direct action and grassroots organisation and made important
contributions both to the ZACF, notably its model of township organising adopted in the
early 2000s, and the struggle of the black working class in South Africa.
We find consolation in the belief that Bobo would not have wanted us to mourn his death,
but rather for us to strengthen our resolve in the struggle of the exploited and oppressed
majority against capitalism.
For our fallen comrades not a moment of silence - but a lifetime of struggle!
Long live the fighting spirit of c'de Bobo, long live!
Bobo Makhoba at the Founding Congress of the ZACF, Johannesburg, 1 May 2003

Alain Guyard philosophy conducts workshops in places where it does not usually progress
(in prison, mental hospital ...). On the occasion of the release of the film The Philo
vagabond , who follows him in his wanderings, maintenance on the political significance of
this commitment for a thought in motion. ---- Alternative Libertaire: you organize
meetings with various and diverse audiences, often on the sidelines. It is a political
choice? ---- Alain Guyard: No. Philosophy is an address at the margin. In taking shape in
antiquity, it is primarily as a technical dislocation mental patterns, emotional and
physical structuring people to the page, decent, ordinary. It is intended to marginality,
if we mean by marginal one who feels the desire to get out of the "page" to go to the
"margin," or one that is already in the room because it was there banished, or even
because it is installed.
Marginality is a defining characteristic of the philosophical life, Socrates passes for
whoever torpedo the city and that the threat stake at Patocka, demoted by the Soviet
government to the worker rank in the chain to avoid that he spends time studying and
teaching, through Descartes, mercenary soldier whose motto is "I advance masked." We do
not choose to philosophize in the margin. It is condemned to do so if we want to philosophize.
You observe great differences between these public receptions?
Alain Guyard: Yes. The sound quality of the public is determined by the horizon waiting
for that audience. If upstream desire was awake, if he comes because a nagging questioning
if he feels like a burning bite the need to think his condition, then listening is
optimal. We must not forget that philosophy is one of the few disciplines in which,
etymologically, a central place is reserved for the "desire".
This leads to an education, when one speaks to young people, or didactic, when addressing
adults who care to magnetize the desire of the audience. He becomes actor of his
condition, his thoughts, not the passive listener of the master. Hence the central square,
in the philosophical practice of seduction. The first texts explicitly link philosophy to
the erotic. We must attach great importance to the game of seduction, which, as the
etymology suggests, are not used to find a guide who accompanies us (lead), but we away
(seduce).
You think philosophy, at least as you strive to get across, is emancipatory?
Alain Guyard: Yes. Emancipation is inherent in philosophical practice. Emancipation is a
legal first given by what we frees a slave, a child, a woman, from the tutelage to which
that person was subject. We find the great and wonderful project of Kant and the
Enlightenment for which philosophy is one of the operations that will allow to move from
minority status to that of majority. This passage from one state to another has nothing to
do with age. It is not related to a legal decree.
Access to the majority - a condition of his own emancipation - when we dare to think for
yourself. This is also the definition that Kant gives the Enlightenment. So that there can
be men or women who are over 18, who have full rights but remain deliberately or
insidiously maintenu.es are in the minority. They are therefore not yet émancipé.es.
Do you strive to link your response to political and social issues?
Alain Guyard: No and yes. One can philosophize well as the condition that we take his
distance vis-à-vis the urgency, indignation, currency - always hot. A Nietzsche's book is
untimely considerations. As such, it does mean that philosophical meditation escapes a
present that the sommerait react immediately and warm. This does not mean that the
philosopher renounces commitment.
But that means it needs a critical distance to judge the events of flow measuring a
criterion that escapes this flow. So will he then plunge into action without being held
hostage. The best image is that the helmsman, often taken in antiquity. The helmsman is
aft of the vessel, allowing it to embrace the storm for how direct its rudder. It is the
same philosopher. Onesicritus, helmsman Alexander, was also a disciple of Diogenes.
We see in the film that you are very politically active, and at the same time you have the
desire not to play the spiritual directors. How do you go about it to introduce the policy
in your interventions not dogmatically?
Passing for an idiot, a joker, a philosopher sometimes crappy showman. Since the
philosopher is serious and that it is credible, it is played between him and his audience
something that has to do with faith; and fall in the humiliating role - for him and for
those who listen - director of conscience. Socrates, the father of philosophy, sets up a
philosophical technique he called "irony". Mocking, biting, outrageous, troublemaker
making it sometimes too, he disgusts her closest disciples who would rest in it as we find
shelter and rest from a master of wisdom.
But this comical buffoon, because he knows that it is the other way for the master, but to
deny as master, that his disciples will even release him. The disciples wanted to become a
master teacher in their turn? Pitiful ambition!

On Tuesday, September 27 in Athens, Greek police dash with the hounds and managed a great
win against particularly dangerous sexual predator. - The intrepid men of the DIAS group
worked with preparedness and alert and prevented a heinous crime from being committed. -
They canceled a kids show. - The cops stopped children and young people aged 12 to 22
years close to the University, some of which reside in the occupation immigrants roof "2nd
Filoxenion" as going to a theater show. ---- The prosigagan in AT Concord for
identification purposes where the withheld for about 7 hours, removing the first-time
necessary for communication with parents and lawyers their mobile phones. ---- Then, they
forced them to remove their clothing under the pretext of inspection, stripped naked, and
sexual innuendo are not missing and their humiliation, he forced them to move to the
section area. The findings of thoroughly vulgar and brutal investigation against them was
2 plastic arms for the needs of the show. This was sufficient reason for the order
institutions and their principals for what followed. Nothing was disclosed in Mass
Enimerosis.To incident after the 7 hours of detention five children for them never happened.
The action of ELAS, as the executive body of the Greek state and its decisions shall be
responsible for the invisibility of immigrants (ri) s and refugees from the urban tissue,
crowding and their humiliation in camps under appalling living conditions and can not but
It should not surprise us.
Not forgetting evacuations and demolitions squatting IMMIGRANT roof (ri) s and refugees
during the summer in Thessaloniki, statements of Tosca in the formula for the dubious
hygiene in occupations and for the world (with or without papers) who frames, with
exemplary punishment for those arrested so
And if Toskas (or anyone Toskas) expresses his doubts about the hygiene of housing
occupations and how solidarity passes through the organized left, along with the
aforementioned suppression of solidarity, we see how it winks or in gangs to they put gas
canisters squats of migrants and refugees roof either bigots - racists - supposedly
indignant parents not allow refugee children attend schools with their children (see.
Oreokastro).
We do not want to forget neither these events, nor used to the unaccountable, inhuman
violence, whether it originates from central policy decisions and management concerning
massive human lives or concerns molecular annihilation of those who resist extinction.
Instead, we participate in solidarity and squats roof structures, desire and strive to
build common struggles locals and immigrants, from below, on terms of equality and solidarity.
We defend people and our structures.
They are our people, though unknown in appearance, these children and what happened to
them, in this case, a feeling we generate: anger.
We do not accept this grim condition, let alone consent, and the passive acceptance of
such events.
We do not remain indifferent, take position and strive for a world where you do not fit
fascists, cops and every kind of authority, who are waging the same war on the bottom.
Do away with brutality.
