The military slaughter, and all that entails is in the region of Palestine, not responding
to a phenomenon that generates only pitchers victims. Totalitarian methods of recruitment
to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been state procedures are challenged by youth
living in the Palestinian area occupied by Israel since the endthe Great World (about
1921) War has had territorial and political conflicts to achieve self-determination and
sovereignty (even by the tranquility of surviving in a disaster area!). After the
"conflict" between the Gaza Strip and Israel in 2009-2014, there have been groups of
activists and militants who focus on modifying the deplorable living conditions for the
Palestinian people, which is guided in uncertainty, fear and tragedy of this immediately.
The Ahdut / Wihda Unit is a great example. Calling himself as "a libertarian communist
organization based in the Israeli-Palestinian occupation, which fights capitalism, sexism,
patriarchy, racism and all forms of oppression and exploitation", is responsible for
spreading the libertarian ideal through several texts of classical authors and implement
various organizational forms that have taken up the confederalism the Kurdish people and
some other communities in the Middle East.
Among their ranks are Golan Tanya, a young militant of 20 years in addition to fight for
the defense of life of the Palestinian people, it is dedicated to raising awareness for
environmental balance and veganism. In the "Declaration of Refusal" Tanya has written
manifesto denounces as compulsory the Israel Defense Forces and translate later, the
companion expands its libertarian thought in defense of justice and civil rights of
Palestinians, They have been overwhelmed for years, and now, the education of youth
through public institutions encourage continuing slaughter cons ethnic minorities.
Today it is a prey to fight the Israeli regime for opposing joining this mechanism
barbaric and systematic murders.

On 6 February 2016, right-wing organisations in 13 countries are planing a joint day of
action against European refugee policies. These organisations include radical right-wing
groups like the Front National (France) as well as militant groups like Golden Dawn
(Greece), who do not shy away from taking up arms and killing their political opponents
and refugees. Leading the way is the Pegida movement from Dresden, Germany. ---- At no
time since 1945 have people in Europe been so threatened by the dark veil of fascism. The
Europe-wide actions as well as the influence of right-wing radicals on governments in
France, Hungary and Poland, for example, show just how professional the network as well as
the financial capabilities of this movement have become. By contrast, the networks and
ability to mobilise of emancipatory leftist and anarchist structures are not nearly as
well developed.
What we are currently experiencing is the radicalisation of hundreds of thousands of
people in Europe, which is for the most part based on their fear of social decline,
hardships and lack of perspective. Current events will determine whether such a
radicalisation will turn on outsiders or turn into a common, emancipatory struggle of the
underprivileged for a fair economic and political order.
A struggle that only focuses on counter demonstrations will most certainly lose. Counter
protests are of course better than doing nothing. But over the medium term, we can only
oppose the right-wing ideas which are spreading like wild fire with our own solution and
explanations. We have to show that the solutions offered by the right (i.e. repression,
isolation and aggressive foreign policy) will at most slow down the increasing precarity
and poverty for a while at the cost of our own freedom and the lives of others. We have to
show that the inequality, disenfranchisement and lack of perspective of the vast majority
of the human race is a necessity of capitalism, and that the dream of jobs for everybody
is dead and buried. Finally, we have to show that most refugees are fleeing and
traumatised because the current economic order persists. Capitalism lives from
humiliation, brutal oppression and wars on entire continents.
Even if our support of refugees and migrants costs us much of our energy, we cannot ignore
the increasing precarity of those with the same citizenship as us. We have to support and
help organise their struggles, so as not to play into the hands of the radical right and
to become bourgeois paternalist philanthropists ourselves.
For this reason, we call on you not only to take part in anti-fascist counterprotest and
self-defence on 6 February, but also to show an alternative to the current misery through
direct action, solidarity, anti-parliamentarism and self-organisation, i.e. the entire
bracket of anarcho-syndicalist activities. We call on you to unmask the European right as
what they truly are: the best thing that could ever happen to capitalism and its endeavor
to prevent a sorely-needed class war and an alliance of the oppressed.
Stop the enemies of our emancipation! Towards a free and anti-capitalist future!

The State is less embarrassing and less pretense about its democratic pretensions. With
the establishment of the state of emergency is his real nature which is reflected under
the democratic varnish. The hypocrites of the left parties pretend to believe that this is
a perversion of the laws of the Republic, yet we are not fooled. The state is erected in
the arbitrary system, regardless of its bourgeois nature, left or fascist. The state is
the tool of enslavement of one class by another. It is the enemy of the social movement,
as illustrated by the prison sentences handed down against trade unionists from Goodyear.
---- As usual, this state strikes primarily those he considered deviant from the norm or
not belonging to the white majority and its "Christian culture". With the state of
emergency, it is no longer in lace and can now operate openly work harassment, humiliation
and violence. And it is primarily Muslim and Muslims, or assigné.es to this identity, it hits.
It is they and they, whatever their ideas, which undergo first the "blunders" unreasonable
searches, raw state violence against this minority designated public condemnation
following the attacks. The doors smashed the cry of "no amalgam!»And house arrests based
on beard lengths do not fool anyone. Racist attacks of Ajaccio and the repeated attacks
against places of worship or shops "Muslims" by a member of the extreme right shows that
they have understood the message from the state. They do the same work, hypocrisy and the
legality and less.
In this stinking climate, deprivation of nationality is only the icing on the cake of
repression. It is a call barely concealed extreme right and racist reflexes and security
against which the left is obviously far from immune. We will not forget the votes of the
Left Front, unanimous in supporting the state of emergency. These scoundrels are now
trying to participate in demonstrations against the situation they have helped create. The
recovery in full swing, but again, no surprise. They and they are Set, PG or PCF, we know
enough practices. Moreover, they began to stumble at the time of COP21 and repression
against certain.es militant.es left présenté.es as sympathetic "environmentalists". With
this left, you better be white and nonviolent hope to get some support. Their presence in
our events is an insult, do not let them get our anger!
In this period of assumed class violence, we have a thought for Amine Bentounsi and
relatives, who know well what to expect from the justice of this country and its
watchdogs. The maintenance of order, as Republican as it is, kills and maims always in the
proletarian neighborhoods, especially racialized minorities with impunity.
So that burst their sham unity, we will not fall into the trap. We will never be the cops
side of the state and political parties.
Build an autonomous class movement to destroy the state and capitalism!

The ultraprécaire and ultra-fragmented digital world labor force does not promote
collective organization. Yet fighting lead and even managed to win. Illustrations. ----
Competition and insecurity do not facilitate the mobilizations, but if in addition we
consider the conditions of self-employment on the platforms of the world of the Internet,
like Uber physical work or digital as the Mechanical Turk (see box), it hard to imagine
how to build collective resistance, and French unions are far from worry about it. Yet few
leads have emerged recently. ---- On June 17 of this year, the Commission's work in San
Francisco, California, decided to recognize the employee status to a conductive Uber. The
reason given is that the company is involved in all aspects of the activity of its
drivers, since it controls the relationship with customers, influence the wages of
drivers, excludes lower-rated drivers, etc. In France, this is due to a decline in wages
of 20% as Uber drivers come to mobilize to create the first union in the area and impose
the maintenance of wages, under threat of boycotting the platform. Corporatist union and
few policy, certainly, but nevertheless a first step towards the construction of a report
to force.Quant platforms and freelance microtasking is notably the German union IG Metall
came the first effort publicizing, by conducting a survey on working conditions
"Faircrowdwork" for depositing evidence, to note the different platforms, etc., but also
by a few words taken on the subject.
Organization Turkers
Furthermore, a group of activists, researchers and the Mechanical Turk workers, created
the Dynamo Group (orbiting the wearedynamo.org website) to share information and allow the
self-organization of Turkers. A few hundred people were mobilized, but it did not last and
the movement fell after some pressure campaigns on Amazon. However, many mail lists,
forums, Facebook groups and other help to create the job of Turker, transmitting the
strings, the best way to use the platform or escape bad employers, and communicate
collectively suffering felt.
Finally, the most surprising is certainly the development of Turkopticon, an Internet
browser extension that is grafted onto the interface of the Mechanical Turk, and already
enables tens of thousands of Turkers noting each different employers, according to quality
its communication, the amount of wages paid, the frequency of arbitrary rejection of work
and speed of payment of wages. The will to organize seems not to be missed, but it remains
to find ways to fight effectively against this way to exploit a largely atomized
precarious proletariat.

We’ve gone forward with republishing our agitaional broadsheet. Now renamed, Anarchist
Revolution/Revolución Anarquista. The broadsheet reflects the issues, organizing and
struggles we and the movements we are a part of are engaged in. The Jan/Feb issue has
short articles on struggles in Minneapolis, Detroit & Chicago. ---- ANARCHIST REVOLUTION
---- We need a different kind of world – a world without war, exploitation, oppression and
ecological devastation. We believe those conditions stem from a social system that
ultimately favors only a small ruling class and that they won’t give up their profits or
power without a struggle. Their system promotes a dog-eat-dog culture and seriously risks
a common catastrophe for us all. To live and love, we must fight. Anarchism is a
revolutionary vision for life without bosses, landlords, police, racism or rape. It is
also a method for organizing in the here and now based on solidarity, mutual aid, and
direct action. M1´s affinity is built around four principles:
1) commitment to revolution
2) working class orientation
3) non-doctrinaire anarchism
4) non-sectarian and multi-layered approach to organization.
Defend the Community!
Smash White Supremacy & Police Brutality!
Over the last year and a half the murder of young
Black people by the police has sparked a
powerful movement against white supremacy
and police brutality. While many different
strategies and agendas have been in play, the
high points of this on-going struggle have seen
Black working-class communities assert a total
rejection of the racist police and a refusal to
allow anyone to set limits over the movement.
In Ferguson/St. Louis MO, Baltimore MD and
more recently in Minneapolis MN protesters
have carried out a militant struggle against the
police and the system they protect. Now
Chicago seems to have entered a moment of
crisis too, where the community is also saying
“No more!”.
In Minneapolis, anarchists, Wobblies and other
radicals have actively participated in the
upsurge in response to the police murder of 25
year-old African-American truck driver Jamar
Clark there: joining in mass direct action
protests and militant resistance, advocating and
organizing for community self-defense, forging
unity and support for families of those murdered
by police, researching and exposing the racist
president of the Police Federation and the
dangers of “bad-jacketing” within the
movement, and building relationships with
militants from the community and the movement.
The close to 1000 fatalities in the U.S. this year
from police shootings are not a case of a few bad
apples. The role of the police is not to “serve
and protect” our communities, but rather to
intimidate and contain us. The police are one of
the main tools used by the rich and powerful to
maintain this racist, unfair and unequal system.
So this is nothing new, but it has become too
much. The government doesn’t respond to
passive please for justice, but it can be made to
pay a social cost for injustice.
Direct Action in Minneapolis
The movement in Minneapolis marched on the 4th
Precinct Police Station in the heart of the northside
Black community, occupying the front vestibule and
setting up an encampment on the surrounding streets
and sidewalks for 18 days. When police first tested
the resolve of the protest by forcibly removing the
occupiers and some of the encampment, protesters
responded by blockading all of the Precinct’s
entryways, keeping the cops penned in the building.
Police power-sprayed mace and shot chalk at the
crowds. Many protesters answered with rocks and
bottles. A mobile police surveillance camera tower
was pulled over by neighborhood rebels, forming a
barricade. Protesters continued to lay siege to the
Precinct for several hours.
Some organizers tried to stop this militant reaction.
They insisted that the protests must be non-violent.
They blamed “outside agitators” and “white
anarchists”. This was a lie that sought to erase the
leading role of militants from the neighborhood, as
well as Black and other anarchists of color, and also
aimed to isolate and eject white radicals that had
joined in. The overwhelming impetus for the fightback
that night came from Black northsiders. They
didn’t need to be agitated by anyone. The unity of
Black militants from the community and multi-racial
radicals in the street, fighting back, was very
powerful.
Community Self-Defense
On the night of November 23rd white supremacist
fascists attacked the protest encampment in
Minneapolis, shooting and wounding 5 protesters..
Black community militants responded the next night
by ensuring that the protest encampment was safe.
Serious barricades of firewood were built in the
street and a well equipped but low-key security
network posted up on the edges of the protest.
Multi-racial working-class defense groups
integrated into the neighborhood defense structure.
Any further fascist attackers would have been very
sorry.
While we strongly advocate and participate in movements for
justice for victims of police murder and brutality, we cannot just
continue to respond to each tragic injustice – we need to promote
and build for community self-defense. Beyond monitoring the
police and providing security for the movement and certain
neighborhoods, community self-defense projects can begin
addressing some real issues that lead folks to call the cops today
such as domestic violence and mental crises. These projects must
be open to democratic discussion and decision-making and
accountable to the communities they are based in. And finally we
need an understanding of what we are up against and what it will
take to win.
For us, as anarchists, that means a revolutionary struggle,
controlled by the grassroots (not by top-down leaders), against
this system of exploitation and oppression and the government
and police that protects it. It’s a big task, and Community SelfDefense
is where we begin. – Kdog (Minnesota M1)
