The SUMAR platform, brings together four organizations: University Rebel Force (FUR),
Libertarian Action (AL), Dignity (MLD) and the Society of Union and Resistance (SUR)
Movement and several independent. Wills that came together in SUMAR achieved a major
victory in the second round, getting 1584 votes, winning the federative table, as well as
3 vocalías to those presented: Gender and Sexuality, Culture and Human Rights, and
Solidarity and Social Conflicts. ---- Who make up this list, declare that have nothing to
do with the old left parties, and are recognized as part of that Independent Left, growing
from below, from the concrete struggles of our peoples, and integrated into their daily
work the feminism, struggles undertaken by the working people and also the
socio-environmental resistance carried out by the communities and give up the fight.
The comrades of AL-Concepcion said in a brief comment that "will be up to the challenge of
contributing to build a FEC serving the struggles of the peoples, an FEC linked to
territorial and environmental conflicts, a feminist FEC and antipatriarchal, a class FEC
". While the FUR-Concepcion said in a statement, they hope to "converge this 2016 by the
secondary and university movement of the rest of the country on a strong political program
that can defend on the streets, will help oxygenate the social sectors in struggle of our
people. "
Notably SUMAR was not the only left list opting to driving the FEC. Moreover, the second
round was led by SUMAR and "Aperremos" left the two projects that were presented to the
elections, which at the University of Concepción is an unprecedented event. Which
expresses the collapse in adherence to the proposal unionist and the list of the New
Majority parties in this university.

Reclaiming Our Global Past: Why South Africa is Not "New Terrain" for Anarchism/
Syndicalism, and How it is Being Re-implemented Locally ---- A Presentation at the St.
Imier International Anarchist Conference by Warren McGregor (ZACF), August 2012[1] ----
INTRODUCTION ---- Red and black regards, comrades! Mass organisations of counter-power of
the working class and poor based on revolutionary counter-culture and direct action are
necessary for social revolution. To build these, anarchism needs to become the dominant
ideology of the working class, peasantry and poor (the popular classes) again.
The current South African (SA) context, given its history and the current balance of
forces, dictates that it is amongst the black majority that anarchism needs to take hold.
Black working class anarchists are best able to relate the ideas most effectively to local
community and cultural landscapes. As anarchism competes with other ideologies, a militant
black working class cadre can only emerge out of rigorous political education and activism
centred on the revolutionary class politics of anarchism and syndicalism (anarchist trade
unionism). To achieve this outcome, we argue for a specific anarchist political
organisation: a Bakuninist organisation of tendency based on a shared platform of
theoretical and strategic unity and individual discipline, working with and in the
organisations of the popular classes - trade unions and social movements.
This historical legacy of organisation has re-emerged within countries of the "developing
world." The especifismo model, influenced by the experiences of the comrades of the FAU of
Uruguay and modelled on the Bakuninist "Platformist" tradition, has tremendous support in
the anarchist resurgence in South America and has been adopted by the ZACF.
Anarchism's core principles of direct democracy, mutual aid, free and voluntary
association and its commitment to a revolutionary transformation of society from one based
on oppression and domination, are again attractive to a global working class and poor
seeking to remove the shackles of capitalism and the state. Its foremost strategy of mass
anarchism (building popular class organisations of counter-power in workplaces and
communities) is making steady progress, particularly in centres experiencing the harsh
realities of capitalist crisis, state violence and renewed austerity attacks.
However, much still needs to be done if we are to accept the historical anarchist legacy -
borne of the libertarian wing of the international workers' movement of the late 1800s, of
dedication and commitment to a global revolutionary cause for a truly free socialist,
egalitarian world. We want an anarchist world where production and distribution are based
on human need, not profit and where all are fundamentally free to live and work as they
see fit as long as the same right for others is secured. Southern Africa had several
willing and militant advocates some 100 years ago. Thus present day applications of
anarchist strategy in SA are not new in seeking to win over the black working class
majority to anarchism/ syndicalism.
ANARCHISM/ SYNDICALISM IN SOUTHERN AFRICA
Acknowledging this legacy involves critically examining history and the influence of ideas
on movement-building and revolutionary politics. In looking at the history of southern
African workers' movements, particularly among black workers, the huge impact of
syndicalism on these historical formations is clearly evident. Locally, these ideas were
transmitted by, particularly, Scottish migrant workers in the late 1800s. However,
anarchists and syndicalists faced a context marred by deep racial divisions between black
(African, Coloured/ mixed race and Indian) and white workers and the national oppression
of the black working class. Local syndicalists thus "maintained a principled opposition to
racial discrimination and oppression, and a principled commitment to the creation of a
multiracial anti-capitalist, anti- statist movement".[2]
This approach distinguished it from the Marxist "national-democratic approach" that had
emerged during the early 20th century, which separated the struggle against national
oppression from the class struggle into distinct stages. The syndicalist approach sought
to mobilise black workers around both class and national issues. The formation of the
first trade union for Africans, the Industrial Workers of Africa (IWA) in 1917, modelled
on the syndicalist multiracial One Big Union concept, meant that by 1921 a truly
multiracial revolutionary syndicalist movement with a vast network of counter-cultural
practice had been formed. However, the IWA was only the latest syndicalist formation of
the time and was preceded by the Cape Town IWW of 1910, the Clothing Workers' Industrial
Union, the Indian Workers' Industrial Union, the Horse Drivers' Union and the Sweet and
Jam Workers' Industrial Union representing several thousands. These were some of the first
unions for people of colour. Side-by-side with these syndicalist formations, syndicalist
political organisations, such as the Social Democratic Federation, the International
Socialist League, the Industrial Socialist League and the libertarian wing of the
Socialist Labour Party (van der Walt, 2011), were formed.
THE NATIONAL QUESTION THEN AND NOW
The social similarities between then and now are striking. Neo-liberal economic
globalisation and migration have meant the re-emergence of the national question in our
anarchist politics. The challenge posed to us anarchists and other working class movements
is to understand the role of national and racial identities in everyday life and struggle.
If we ignore them, we risk alienating ourselves from working class contexts and people
deeply scarred by the legacies of the past and present - colonial and imperial
expansionism, slavery, racism, apartheid, etc. We also hand the initiative, both
rhetorical and in practice, to proponents of nationalism and far right-wing ideologies,
which offer attractive yet false solutions to working class frustration and discontent.
These deepen xenophobia and often lead to vicious intra-class rivalries and violence,
which divide the popular classes into political ghettos. They do nothing to build united
revolutionary counter-power, securing ruling class domination. There are numerous global
examples of this in the past and today, as the recent round of xenophobic pogroms in South
Africa makes clear.
The SA working class and poor face desperation on a frightening scale. Many are confined
to makeshift corrugated iron and wood shacks without running water nor electricity, poor
educational facilities and the daily violence of life in poverty.
Constitutional rights since the end of apartheid have meant little without concomitant
socio-economic liberation. Thus the ZACF argues that the 1994 democratic transition that
installed Nelson Mandela's African National Congress (ANC) as the new ruling class in the
state signalled an important, but incomplete national liberation for the black majority.
Despite the thousands of community protests annually, many continue to see salvation in
the ANC, political parties and the state. As such these protests are generally aimed at
reconfiguring community-level ANC political relations so as to access local state power.
The state and, thus, the ANC are seen as avenues to wealth, power and to escape poverty.
People also compete for state power (at local, provincial and national levels) so as to
reward benefactors, family and friends with state tenders. This has meant increasingly
violent competition for positions within the ANC.
The private economy continues to be dominated by local white and international elites.
Claims of a white, racist conspiracy against black people usually fails to acknowledge
that the SA state controls up to 35% of the economy, where some of the largest
multinational companies operating on the African continent are SA parastatals, e.g. Eskom,
Denel, Transnet, etc.
These conditions impact on the theoretical, strategic and tactical choices made by
anarchists in South Africa today. This means working with and in a range of working class
working class formations, but in the anarchist way: raising our critiques and analyses
openly and honestly in all fora, much in the same way envisaged and practiced by Bakunin
and the International Alliance.[3]
SOUTH AFRICA AND THE ZACF TODAY
From 1921, anarchism/syndicalism slowly disappeared from the political scene in southern
Africa. The massive propaganda machine of the Russian Bolsheviks spreading their version
of victory in 1917, the formation of the Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA) in 1921
and its purge of libertarian communists and syndicalists in 1928 (on Comintern orders)
launched Marxism as the dominant left force in South Africa, a position it still holds today.
The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), the largest trade union federation,
emerged out of the struggles against apartheid and capitalism during the 1970s and 80s.
Despite its recent expulsion of its largest affiliate in the metal section, NUMSA, it
represents most of the labour force in South Africa (a country with a 35- 40% unemployment
rate) [4] and is predominantly black. It is in an alliance with the South African
Communist Party (SACP, renamed so in 1950) and the ruling ANC, which dominates this
alliance. There are 3 smaller union federations, viz. the Federation of Democratic Unions
of South Africa (historically made up of unions for white workers, but which has many
black workers as dual members with Cosatu unions), the National Congress of Trade Unions
(influenced by Black Consciousness and Marxism) and Solidarity (mainly of white Afrikaner
membership).
Despite a heavy Marxist-Leninist rhetoric, the socio-economic policies of both Cosatu and
the SACP are social-democratic/ Keynesianist, which in turn are subsumed by the
neo-liberal policies of the ANC. This despite the fact that many SACP and Cosatu officials
are members of and are elected to state office though the ANC.
The ravages of neo-liberal capitalism and state domination have meant sustained attacks on
workers and the poor in SA. Cosatu's ties to the ANC, SACP and Marxism, as well as its
highly authoritarian, bureaucratic structure, its inability to combat casualization which
divides the organised from the unorganised, its refusal to link with community struggles
for better living conditions and thus its inconsistent social and economic analyses, in
most cases, means that for years it has alienated itself from the working class and poor
society outside its unions.
As more and more people became and remained unemployed, became poorer and more destitute,
new avenues for protest and contestation emerged in the struggle for a share of the wealth
produced by SA (the continuing product of imperialist South African expansionism into Sub-
Saharan Africa by both private and state-owned enterprises). Social movements located in
SA's poor and predominantly black townships have emerged over the last 13 years, focusing
their struggle against the neo- liberalisation of South African society.
It was within this social movement milieu that anarchists/syndicalists, many also from
similar student protests, re-emerged as a small, but dedicated force. They sought to
expose the SA poor to anarchism through workshops, solidarity work and campaigns. After a
decade of organisational trial, error, success and self-critique, the ZACF was founded in
2007 and continues to work with and in the working class and their organisations.
We are engaged in a battle of ideas. The SA working class terrain is one of many competing
ideologies, but is dominated by authoritarianism, male chauvinism and nationalism - on the
Left and Right. Anarchism competes with Marxism (of the Leninist variety) and a black
nationalism that incorporates a revolutionary Marxist rhetoric, for ideological influence
in the class.
Recently, the ZACF, despite years of hard work and sacrifice, found that many people knew
of the anarchists, but not many knew about anarchism and its analyses. Self-critique has
therefore led to a much greater emphasis on intensive, regular programmes of political
education amongst grassroots activists and students. We have seen slow and steady progress
and remain cautiously optimistic, knowing that much hard work lies ahead.
CONCLUSION
A collective programme and strategy in which collective responsibility plays a central
role, seems the best path of organisation to meet the demands of promoting anarchism. We
argue that the tradition of "Platformism" / Especifismo, is a re-statement of the
Bakuninist approach and not a "Bolshevised" form of anarchist politics as some have
charged. Bakunin once wrote, our organisation aims "to awaken and foment all the dynamic
passions of the people" to organise from below "spontaneously, without outside
interference… [or]…official dictatorship. [5] But he recognised that mass organisations do
not, automatically generate a revolutionary consciousness. Thus we argue for engagement in
the battle of ideas via a tight-knit collective and specific organisation. The fundamental
task for anarchists is to win this battle, highlighting the way forward to a libertarian
socialist direction of struggle and organisation. The masses constantly demand clear
responses from anarchists and we need to respond in clear and precise ways to the contexts
faced by the working poor.
Present-day anarchism in SA, however small, heeds the lessons of past struggles of
anarchist/ syndicalist organisation in southern Africa. Our practice locally is in no way
new terrain for anarchism, but a re-emergence of what was once the world's dominant left
ideological practice. Statist solutions have failed the world over. It is time anarchism
reclaims this position of leadership - not of individuals, but of ideas. History shows
that the desperation of the popular classes leads to all manner of reaction. We must make
sure that it is anarchism that provides the light in the darkness.
Forward to Anarchist Mass Counter-Power!
Forward to the Anarchist Social Revolution!

Almost a century ago, an armed insurrection took place in Ireland to end British rule and
to establish an independent Irish Republic. The 1916 Rising was soon accompanied by major
popular revolts against World War One across Europe and later emulated by anti-colonial
movements across the Global South. ---- When it comes to remembering the 1916 Rising, why
do conservative politicians and historians want to convince us that it would have been
better for us if Pearse and Connolly had stayed at home? Why did the state parade lots of
military equipment and personnel down O’Connell Street to mark the centenary? Why did so
many people turn out to watch it? ---- This panel attempts to think through the meaning of
1916 for us today, and the politics at stake in how these events are remembered,
forgotten, and mis-remembered.

SPEAKERS
Andrew is a member of Workers Solidarity Movement, currently based in Dublin. He will be
making the case for a more critical assessment of the legacy of 1916 in terms of the sort
of movement we should be building today
Fionnghuala is a member of the Workers Solidarity Movement, currently based in Belfast.
She will be taking a post colonial look at the celebrations and modern day ireland and
where we find ourselves in the north.
Donal is a local Dublin historian and activist. He is one of the founders of the
award-winning blog on Dublin life and culture, ‘Come Here To Me’. He will be looking at
the revisionist nature of centenary, the reinvention of World War One as some kind of
wonderful thing and the cult of Redmond.

Second day of the 51st Congress confederal CGT. Stern warning, with nearly a third of
opposition on the activity report; silence of the national leadership on Lepaon case;
debates rattrappés by the news, the word of renewed strike order... A standing ovation
made from life, day to day, the blog Communisteslibertairescgt.org. ---- After the usual
applause to new guests present - Solidarity and the UNEF, the arrival of a representative
of the PCF still not anoncée - [...] between the congress in hard with the report
activity, a masterpiece of wooden language... ---- Of the outstanding interventions
ovationnées the room: Federal Show, Michelin Haute-Loire, Capgemini,... Journalists say
that the analysis of operational problems is not sufficient or complain of having their
activity forgotten. The case Thierry Lepaon comes up. Who benefited overcharging insists
the National Union of Journalists (SNJ)?
The responses of the national leadership are poor little and the rapporteur booed by the
room ending with a call to vote for the progress report on the grounds that Pierre Gattaz,
head of Medef, said evil of the CGT in the Figaro!
The vote on the interim report falls like a chopper: against 31%; for: only 68%.
Abstention concerned 14% of mandates.

Who benefited from the overcharges in Lepaon case?
The afternoon takes on the financial report, the report Cogétise - the contribution
management tool - and financial control commission. Figures are given declining
enrollment. Year after year, the decline in new members worried: 12,800 new and new
members in 2012; 10,987 in 2015. The year 2016 started pretty well, with already 11,078
new memberships.
A delegate from the Federation of Education, Research and Culture (FERC) is particularly
applaud stressing that the SGC is funded at 50% by contributions from its adhérent.es,
which is a real risk to his political independence. It strongly condemns the partnerships.
A huge "living partner" is indeed active during the congress, and next mutual and
consulting firms Bossant for works councils, there is... a Dassault stand, exposing a
giant model of the Rafale!
Surprisingly, the report of the Financial Control Commission does not even mention the
Lepaon case. When the overcharges "on" always research that could have benefited!
A vote on the financial report: against 27%; to 72%. Abstention concerned 12% of mandates.

Need for a clear call to the ongoing general strike
But it is the debate on the policy paper that would ignite the room. The rapporteur
announced that 59 amendments are incorporated, but the document is not distributed. So,
does anyone know if the amendment is adopted or not... can not debate so (the presidency
should in). Delegates intervene to tell what they do in their business or industry. These
stories are often interesting but do not advance the debate.
The document is finally distributed, but trade gradually deported to a topical debate.
Several delegates applauded truly evoking, in different ways, the need for a clear call to
the ongoing general strike. Standing ovation, even for a Rouen delegate with a standing
room singing "All together, all together, general strike "!

After a time, twice "left" three elections, it is clear that any hope is now bankrupt. In
the third memorandum signed by the coalition SY.RIZ.A. - AN.EL., antiasfalistika the
measures to be voted on, impose such changes to the pension and the taxpayers'
contributions, the only certainty is that it will impoverish even more the lower classes
for the benefit of capital. Initially, it is proposed to consolidate all funds into a
single entity that will "guarantee" main insurance and another that will "guarantee"
subsidiary. The public social security is now behind us, as it will become an individual
obligation of workers and the public health services will no longer be a private and
therefore expensive "luxury". On top of all this comes on top of the cut of the main and
auxiliary pensions frightening rates! The new single will be provided (where possible!)
Markedly reduced and the government promotes the reduction of each with the aim of gradual
disappearance in 2019. At the same time increasing employee contributions for health
insurance and thus further reducing their wages.
It is obvious that the government aims to cover the deficit on the backs of already
impoverished social groups, such as pensioners, but also with the changes promoted
condemns all future employee, as the new insurance system is merely another attack of the
local and international capital in the acquired labor rights. In this way, not only
affected the lower classes, but also goes a step further individualization of work with
obvious purpose even more fragmented workers' interests, so as to remain inactive in the
face of impositions state and bosses. The freedoms circumvented, rights violated and to
have their peace of mind, state and bosses promote social cannibalism in all aspects of
daily life, ensuring their stay in power. The competition, the individual interest and the
pimp welcomed the working environment to become the rule will dissolve class resistance
before they barely occur.
At a time of intense political and economic turmoil, as the maintenance of social peace is
a key challenge of all governments (let alone this "left-right" abortion) there are still
forces that resist the rule of poverty. The whole of society, living in permanent terror,
which translates as either impoverishment / unemployment either as an external threat
because of the "invasion" of immigrants / three fails to recognize the single interests
and oppose the real enemy called capitalism. We, for our part, we see ourselves as an
integral part of this society and against the logic of the award, against bosses sold out
of GSEE and unorganized pseudo-strikes that call, we set our own spearhead. Through base
unions and ventures with anti-hierarchical characteristics and horizontal structure, but
put forward and engage in self-organized, akidemoneftous social and class struggles. We
stand by the emancipation of labor in the context of social liberation, as we understand
that the labor demands can not be divorced from social needs. Perceive as crucial to a
stable pole that will be the "awe opponent" in the institutional state-syndicalism and
proceed to militant demands both at work / labor, and socially. Faced with strikes -
fireworks, collated general term strikes but put forward the belief that labor rights and
our social needs are not negotiable and as such will defend! Do not live like slaves!
THE INSURANCE DOES NOT solved by LAWS OR ONE LIFE TO Treat Or A LIFE IN THE STREETS

The repressive operation phoenix was written and narrated a lot, but in our region has so
far been silent - because we are on Saturday, April 16 convened in Podebrady Boss Bar with
a clear action entitled "Discussion about protianarchistických repression". ----
Strategizing with the location of the action before the concert hardcore bands Betrayal,
Sword flat and blunt blade is paid off, so the first lecturer from a local group Anarchist
Federation could shake the stage fright before at least twenty people. They heard a
lengthy recapitulation of the case Fénix, which followed as the second lecturer falsely
accused anarchist Igor, who shared information about your story with absurd charges of
assault on the villa defense minister, but also experience and impressions of the
three-month stay in custody.
The conclusion was given space questioning and debate that revolved primarily around the
possibility of disclosure of police infiltrators in the movement. Visitors and Visitors
also can contribute to the vegan diet for ever arrested Martin - and thanks to their
solidarity, we handed the anarchist black cross, a thousand crowns.
Overall, the discussion went well beyond the expectations of the organizers of the
concert, which it replaced, was too great. The only fault was to delay the beginning (and
end) talks, which were postponed due to the planned solidarity dopisovacka.
