Message: 1
AGAINST STATE AND capitalist barbarity
The frontal attack of the state and the bosses and the constant introduction of new
burdensome conditions of exploitation and oppression express overall violent restructuring
of the state and the capitalist mode of societal organization. ---- The current political
management of power, has undertaken both seamless continuation of submission policies and
impoverishment of society and the restoration of the regime in crisis conditions,
promising a capitalism with a human face while aiming at neutralizing resistances through
kapilefsi, the assimilation and integration. ---- ORGANIZATION AND STRUGGLE FOR SOCIAL
REVOLUTION AND THE ANARCHY libertarian communism ---- From our side, the side of the
unemployed, the workers, the poor, the plebs, the story of our social and class struggles
shows that proletarians are not expecting anything from the institutions, parliaments,
elections, bureaucratic union leaderships , their hope traders and intermediaries of the
class struggle.
They have to earn it is a result of the broad, organized on the base, militant and radical
struggles. Only the total subversion of the state and capitalism, social expropriation of
wealth that we ourselves produce and sucks a caste of rulers and the social revolution for
a new common ownership society, solidarity and freedom can vindicate their aspirations and
actual social needs oppressed and exploited.

By Cristian Villablanca, union leader, member of the board of the Federation of Workers of
Education (FTE) ---- What are the challenges that open with the Professional Teaching
Profession Act and Inclusion? ---- How do we face the next elections College of Teachers?
---- The demonstrations last year are fundamental to understanding the current scenario.
There the municipal sector led a historic strike against our guild for Professional
Teaching Profession (CPD). The level of massiveness and adherence throughout the country
was indisputable, however, no institutional gains of this process were evident, as the
project was approved without the consent of the majority mobilized. But there is a
qualitative Gain organizational experience and level of awareness of and education workers
in the subsidized municipal and private sector.
This year is important for the working people of Chile in this sense and education workers
can not be absent. The labor reform, the implementation of the CPD and Inclusion Act are
political factors that will change conditions in workplaces in the municipal area as the
particular subsidized. Living up to these circumstances, will involve continuing to
promote training, policy reflection and union organization from below.
The approval of the CPD was the result of bad driving Teachers College, revealing its
proximity to the Ministry of Education and its distance towards Chile and teachers who
rejected the bill in a 97.40%, according to the national consultation May 2015. what is
interesting is that despite this great rejection, Teachers College from its management
bodies failed to establish relevant clauses in the bill. Instead, just put cold cloths to
lower mobilization and compromise with the government.
In the municipal sector it has advanced although in legal and institutional terms the
Teaching Profession will be implemented this year. Qualitative gains that we spoke above
are what we must promote the most active and mobilized sectors. We can not let the process
of "politicization of educational thinking" (as suggested Teaching Building Movement
Organized Santiago) or "pedagogical political work" (concept used by the "Educate and
Transform" Valparaiso collective). This exercise of politicizing pedagogy and reflection
around it, is a form of empowerment need to follow driving through training workshops,
debates surrounding the sexist curricula, building proposals for a new educational project
and advancing training and political discussion.
In organizational terms are crucial elections Teachers College this year, there is a
criticism of the current sellout and colluding with the government that it has become
apparent within the union leadership. Therefore the most active sectors must overcome this
condition of dissent and aim to dispute the Teachers College in the elections of 2016,
bringing the leaders of the New Majority do not represent our interests. This is central
to the unity of the most active sectors, working from bases in both municipal schools,
subsidized private schools and to register and vote for new bets.
At the scene of the workers of the private sector subsidized difficult scenarios to the
organization with the implementation of the Act Inclusion also come. This will force the
private-subsidized change institutional figure going to become corporations, foundations
or private schools paid. If however contractual relations do not change according to the
law, several holders are already enunciating, the climate of uncertainty, to balance the
negotiations for their interests.
The labor reform will hurt us, taking away power to collective bargaining and the right to
strike, prompting the disorganization and depoliticization of the trade and other sectors.
Chile is the country with the lowest coverage in collective bargaining with the US
according to data from the SOL Foundation 2011, placing in countries with greater income
inequality. This structural reality, where the richest 10% earn 26.5% more than the
poorest 10%, is to be maintained with this labor reform and the CPD. Against this
background, we must all continue to build more unions, strengthening those already armed
and promote unity in the struggle and bottom of each and all education workers and other
sectors.

The anarcho-syndicalist Initiative Rosinante welcomes thousands of demonstrators / mation
of strike concentration of 8 th May at Syntagma Square, as well as their / its multiple /
ies strikers across the country. Welcomes in particular the presence of several hundred
refugees marched on the side of workers, through the block of busy Refugee City Plaza
Housing Area. The massification of social movement in a direction class and
internationalist and strike anticapitalist orientation, away from parliamentary and
governmental illusions is only real opportunity to answer the brutal assault of Capital,
which continues uninterrupted regardless of whether it governs the left or the right.
This piece of barbarism is the last night openly murderous attack by riot police of the
left against our block and total of the strike demonstration. Completely unprovoked
assault the uniformed battalions attacked the crowd by launching tear gas and stun -
grenades in a straight shot.
Three of the grenades and two by tear fell upon the comrades and comrades of AP Rosinante,
causing burns. Seven people from our block were injured and suffered deep burns and three
among them had to servers in the hospital. The rage of the left gendarmes continued to
attack the world of blocks using batons while in human psychological paroxysm time, man
riot police began beating furiously with his club the canvas of our banners. Other
colleagues of course, more calm and practical, hitting protesters and demonstrators in the
hands and head, causing in turn receding injuries and wounds. Corresponding injuries
agonists / mation by straight shots murderous police were in other parts of the
demonstration. Injury protester from tear the head, shows that only by luck we had tragic
events yesterday.
The orgy of state authoritarianism and repression continued in hospitals, where
plainclothes officers, harassed them / the wounded to prevent them to make a statement
about the circumstances under which they were beaten and indicate whether they want the
criminal proceedings against the police, but also by leaving.
It is not from our side of course be represented their amazed and surprised not to speak
of "unprecedented" events. The heavy hand of repression the left we met last July when our
block had received a corresponding attack -from motor segments police then- while
parliament voted the first left memorandum. The intentions of the government are
experiencing daily in the increasingly shrinking our labor rights and incomes. The left
sensitivity is found every day in the camps for refugees and migrants / Ries sown
throughout Greece and application of racist Euro-Turkish agreement of shame. We know that
whatever mask you wear, the state is the executive committee the ruling class. Well know
that the one and imagines himself Allende, actually will be whether Pinochet should follow
hard enforcement Fund policies.
We know well the left and right "Darius". Not afraid of them. Not scare us. We know from
both left and right-wing political servants of Capital. We are here to deal with them and
we are committed and determined to do it until the end. Yesterday's orgy of state violence
of the murderers in uniform, it is just a proof that this government is unable to convince
the society that works for the benefit of.
The anarcho-syndicalist Initiative Rosinante invites / the workers / s and / the
unemployed / s, young people and all oppressed / or to strengthen the ranks of social
confrontation, enhance the effort to revive the militant, libertarian and anticapitalist
unionism, to establish a large solidarity movement and contamination with refugees.
Our tear left frightened as our horrified and right: no. The power of the oppressors was
and will always and only our fear. Let the beat to create a society without poverty,
without sedation and without exploitation.
SOLIDARITY will win.

PS2: The announcement of the Police Department, on the other, which speaks of "limited use

protesters with heavy burns and cops that prevented them from doing deposits, probably
entered into a new campaign for the legalization of hard drugs.

Hi all, ---- Back after a wee break with a bumper round-up. Of special note is that on
Saturday there is a day of action to surround Dungavel detention center and show
solidarity with those inside, building a movement towards an end to all detention. That
evening also has a choice between a roller derby fundraiser and a film screening on
migrant and climate issues before a late night fundraiser for the new Glasgow Autonomous
Space. There is also much more besides: ---- Screw War; Let’s Dance! ---- Friday, May 6 at
8 PM ---- Kinning Park Complex, 43 Cornwall Street, G411BA (opposite Kinning Park
Underground) ---- Screw War; Let’s Dance! ---- Sick of daily reports of acts of violence
and harshness? Then join KPC’s Donation Disco! ---- A party that asks nothing of you other
than your attendance and maybe your spare change, Screw War; Let’s Dance aims to raise
some money to fund art works or creative activism that’s pro-peace and anti-war.
It’s a BYOB affair with tunes by Edinburgh based duo Wonkee Baw. All the money raised will
go to a fund to be administered by KPC to fund a creative response to conflict ladden
narratives in the media.

We Will Rise is a group of migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and their allies who have
come together to organise and take direct action against the systems, institutions, and
corporations who contribute to our oppression. We are the movement we want to see. We aim
to take on all forms of oppression, including between ourselves. We aim to empower those
most affected by migration barriers – to lead a movement for change and for allies to work
effectively with them.
We also want to build connections and share experiences with our allies. We will tackle
racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, and all forms of oppression. Our regular protests at
Dungavel will aim to embody our principles. Reform is not the answer, we want abolition.
We expect our allies to respect our politics and work with us towards these ends.

UNITY ARABIC/ENGLISH LANGUAGE EXCHANGE –
Tuesday, May 10 at 7 Pm – 9 PM
Kinning Park Complex, 43 Cornwall Street, G411BA (opposite Kinning Park Underground)
Free/donation
Every Tuesday we meet to exchange Arabic and English language in a conversation class. It
is a space for all levels to come and we all learn what we like in the way that we want –
some focus on writing and grammar, others prefer to swap slang.
We aim to improve our language skills and get to know each other in a supportive
environment – the class is a welcoming place, where English is not put on a pedestal and
everyone is learning.
The group is volunteer run and functions collectively – we make decisions all together.
The class is free but we welcome donations. Any money goes directly to funding others’
travel, who could not otherwise afford to attend the class. If you can’t come to the class
but want to support us anyway, you can donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/languageexchange
Bringing snacks to share is encouraged
The Unity Centre offers practical support and unconditional solidarity to asylum seekers
and all migrants – http://unitycentreglasgow.org/. The class has gotten so big we have
outgrown Unity’s office, hence the move to KPC.
[We are particularly in search of English speakers to join us, as there are many more
Arabic speakers than English speakers. You certainly don't have to be a native speaker,
anyone from anywhere is welcome!]
Please email unitylanguageexchange if you’d like to come down and feel free to extend this
invitation.

Hope to see you there!
* KPC will host us for the next weeks, but do email unitylanguageexchange to confirm venue
as it might change later in the year.

Restless Natives: Euromaidan Rough Cut
Saturday, May 14 at 7 PM
GMAC Film, 103 Trongate, G1 5HD
Document Human Rights Film Festival is delighted to offer another chance to see our 2015
International Jury prize winner, Euromaidan Rough Cut.
What does it look like when the streets of Ukraine’s capital are turned into a war zone? A
sequence of several stories uncover 2014’s transformation of Kiev’s Independence Square,
or Maidan, which took place beneath an onslaught of tear gas during anti-government
demonstrations. The situation escalated from playful protests in winter into the most
extreme levels of violence and chaos. What motivates Ukrainians to place their own bodies
against the police cordons? Where do opinions diverge and when does solidarity triumph?
The personal portraits of the protesters form a mosaic of stories that is far from completed.
This screening is free and ticketed via http://documenteuromaidan.eventbrite.co.uk/

Exploring Expressive Life Modelling with All The Young Nudes
Monday, May 16 at 6 PM – 9 PM
Saint Luke’s, 17 Bain Street, G40 2JZ
Many of you have been asking about more life model training workshops, so here we have it!
We’ve decided to make this life modelling workshop in Glasgow slightly more interesting.
There has been a lot of feedback of late about models’ poses and what people find
interesting to draw. Many are keen on poses which don’t seem contrived, but more like a
moment frozen in time. From this, we bring you a workshop in which you can explore your
expressiveness!
**SUITABLE FOR ALL LEVELS – BEGINNERS WELCOME**
This session will be run by two very talented and fun-making individuals; Gavin Glover
(puppetteer, director, theatre maker) and Beth Frieden (theatre maker, performer and life
model).
Participants will leave feeling comfortable experimenting with emotion and narrative in
their life modelling practice.
Expect lots of creating poses out of movement. Attention will also be drawn to the factors
that determine how long a pose can be held for, such as body tension, face tension, points
of support, balance, and different ways to cope with these.
You will work on expressing emotions with body language, and will also use props and the
surrounding space to generate stories, and consider how stories can be used to create
series of poses. The class will culminate in a simulated scenario where you will be
encouraged to use your new narrative, expressive, and critical skills to experience what
being a life model is really like, in a series of held poses with props similar to what
would be expected of them in a real life drawing scenario.
This workshop is open to beginners and experienced life models alike.
Do get in touch if you have any specific queries or questions and we’ll get back to you ASAP.

United Glasgow: Can You Support Us? A Call To Action!
From like-minded football clubs to individuals who agree with our stance on financial
inclusion and anti-discrimination, United Glasgow has many supporters from across the
world. We’re calling on you, your friends, families and local businesses to support our
cause and help us to continue to provide access to football for Glasgow’s young people. As
you will be aware, we operate under a system of paying only if you are able to, which is
why we’re appealing for supporters to set up a monthly subscription (£10 suggested
donation) to cover the costs of hiring training facilities.
"We spend nearly £800 per month on training venues alone; your monthly support can ensure
we can keep providing access and opportunities for all." – Alan, Chairperson
In 2014/15, the significant of our total costs were spent on renting venues to provide
access to sports (and we have grown since then!) and we could really use your help to
continue to provide this.
If you would like to set up a subscription or one off payment, you can rest assured that
your contributions are directly helping provide young people from all walks of Glasgow
life the chance to train and play together.

Also: Do you have any spare football boots that you could donate to those who have none
but desperately want to play football? We’re always accepting donations of astro-trainers
and moulded boots (no metal studs!) for our men’s teams. Please get in touch if you can
help out.

Severoceská Anarchist Federation (SAF) this year decided to organize the celebration of
Labor Day in the region where it operates, and continue in the more than century-old
tradition of anarchist first maypoles, which are held under the auspices of local
anarchist organizations in their ranks to organize miners, textiláci and people in many
other professions. ---- From half past nine, they began to come first participants and
participants to park in front of the train station in Teplice. On the site it was possible
to have breakfast pastry with various vegan spreads within modest anarchist picnic. The
insight was distro SAF magazines, leaflets and stickers. You can see the black-and-red
flags and a banner "Anarchism lives and alternative exists" . At half past ten sounded
speech, in which member of SAF, inter alia, said: "We are facing new challenges and
attacks on our rights. We are not going to remain silent and heads hanging, just the
opposite. May Day is an opportunity for us to present to the everyday concerns of most
companies to establish and trying to lift his head to gain their lost dignity and
confidence in our own strength. "
Soon a group of anarchist climbs into the bus and migrating to Duchcov. He is not elected
for that day by chance, there is in fact held the first North Bohemian anarchist May 1 at
all, and that's in 1890. Duchcov itself was in those days a bastion anarchist miners and
trade unionists, who have had strong backing, not only in Duchcov but also other nearby
workers' colonies. City Walk beneath fluttering black-and-red flags pointing to a local
cemetery. On the way was a short stop at the monument to the fallen fascists, where we are
one name still familiar - Bohumil Holub, son of the famous anarchist Hynek Holub.
The Duchcov cemetery event participants gathered at the graves, where they rest anarchists
Hynek Holub and his wife Barbora Holubová, Alois Šefl, Vaclav Krampera and Tomes Porridge.
The fact that these former activists of the anarchist movement gathered in one place, the
merit of Duchcov native and historian Pavel Koukal. Followed by cleaning graves, pulling
out weeds and laying flowers. It was a pleasant surprise discovery that we were not the
only ones who brought flowers to the graves of anarchists, fresh tulips shining from a
distance. SAF member read the second speech in which he remembered the old anarchist
times, and also reminded the repression which our predecessors faced: 'anarchists were
arresting s n and distribution of magazines, their meetings, strikes and demonstrations
were y expanding the gendarmerie and the army. Many ended up in prison. Their magazines
were confiscated and censored magazines often come with only white pages. Mining
associations and unions were officially banned and disbanded. Anarchists were behind their
activities and opinions arrested, fired from their jobs, expulsion and outside the region
or forced even to emigrate abroad. " Whereupon speaker continued reminder of the current
repression and prosecuted buddies Igor, Peter and Martin.
Then everyone went to the lake and enjoying the sunny weather in the countryside. During
the picnic was discussed on various topics, both serious and non-binding, and fell
consensus repeat this action, if possible, in greater numbers, and the following year.

After years without any real mobilization, high schools seem to wake up facing the labor
law. Since March 9 agitation continues to rise. On 17 March, they provided the big
battalions of youth events. If, in memory of CPE, eyes turn mainly to the facs, it may
well be the spark schoolgirl! ---- Apart from small ephemeral mobilizations (expulsion of
Khatchik and Leonarda in 2014), the last high school mobilizations date back to 2010 for
pensions. The last movement itself schoolboy was in 2008 against Darcos. The nascent
movement against the labor law puts the counters. ---- On 17 March, the student unions
décomptaient 200 high schools blocked, against 100 on 9 March. The mobilization in high
schools is increasing and thus progressively structure, faster than in the universities.
Beyond the movement that is built, so there is hope to see the birth a new generation of
activists. New teams seem already to be like in Nantes for example where coordination
interlycéenne has quickly established.
The efficiency and ingenuity of these young people is surprising and exciting for the
future. Despite the lack of movement in recent years, the struggles of practice seems to
reinvent itself quickly. The lack of political and trade union organizations in majority
of schools implies a certain spontaneity of high school mobilizations.
But activists and revolutionary activists also have their role to convey to students the
tools they need to organize themselves and conduct their struggles as far as possible.
However, do not count on student unions (UNL Fidl SGL) to create dynamic dynamic self. No
doubt the schools will be mobilized on 31 March, the difficulty will be to continue
despite the holidays that follow!
