[Already circulating the 30th edition of the newspaper "El aguijón". In this issue the
newspaper carries articles on "Minga agrarian peasant, ethnic and popular in east
Antioquia", "Communities across the development: struggles for autonomy," "Against
neo-liberal educational reforms", and ma is. We reproduce below the editorial of this
issue.] ---- This editorial is a break, a self-criticism within the process "El aguijón"
but also a celebration, a recognition of the construction of its own collective memory of
anarchist practices. Were thirty editions proposing critical discussions of our reality at
different scales and diversity of events, trying to build their own perspective, from a
place on the look / act that allows us to discuss the existing and conjecture about
unstable. Six years of changes in the work pace, intensity and commitment to build each
new edition. Not in terms productivists or limitation of freedom but, in essence, an
anarchist newspaper needs conspirators committed and the obstinacy of disobeying.
Disobeying in communicative terms from our perspective is one of the cornerstones
featuring the anarchist press, which sees autonomous disinformation, anti-authoritarian
and anti-capitalist a weapon, one of our trenches fighting.
2009 here passed endless stories for which it is worth performing a break to extend the
successful, but not to such an extensive editorial text, we will tell you a little story
that the reader of the newspaper "El aguijón".
Besides the university, about seven years ago, came together desires, goals and desire to
make three characters, all anarchists and who said they were sufficiently powerful and
energy to as a snap destroy everything that hinders freedom. This is not to say that "El
aguijón" abandoned his radical critique today, but that the process that began temporally
others are ripening the seeds of rebellion in action & oti lde; es and commitment to the
struggle to change the world. First was a collage on a wall, with a few reproductions,
soon after was a printed in smaller format. "From the walls to your hands, we said," to
explain the change and objetivarmos reach more people beyond the university.
We believed not to be carriers of any ideology in particular, not to reach every corner
and autoglorificar us to be the truth of anarchism in these latitudes. Nor copied
literally communicative schedule produced by media companies and much less of the
alternative press. We proposed not conjunctural issues, discussions out of trend and
fashion made. With the intent to give own interpretation of phenomena and dominant themes
in stances Noti and content of traditional media and official, discussed anarchism itself,
radically criticize the reality in which we suffer, we destroy and build our enemies (the
authority and capital) , remember and share information about the anarchist movement of
which we are part.
"El aguijón" never ceased to sting; constantly change the number of issues per year, we
move into a kind of own periodiocidade given by our vital junctures and rebels bets. In
several opportunities to create convergence in the journal organization it was difficult,
as individuals who are also under the domain of capital and authority. Although we are
also slaves, the desire for liberation from the chains that bind us drives us to trial and
error, and we were walking with our own energies, agreements, projects and purposes.
Obdurate as ever we refuse to disappear because we want to follow lighting the flame of
rebellion.
In this walk, local circles were our first circulation space. By universities, study
groups, collective bargaining, jugglers, student organizations, students, trade unionists,
community organizations, countercultural spaces ... punks, among other social groups in
the Aburrá Valley, began to poison the minds with "El aguijón". The continuity and
qualitative growth of its content and design, mixed with a small dose of experience and
self-criticism, through the Internet and physical movement by order or by travelers and
friends travel, today we can talk and get to many places in America Latin, Europe and
North America.
In this sense, we have always maintained this debate: Who reads us? For those who write
and contrainformar? We write to people rebels, willing to let poison, not to fall into a
permanent effect and numbing of only our interpretations considered valid, but to awaken
all the senses which triggers revolt, encouraging other insights, perspectives, and start
living life for our own projects, contrary to the prevailing values of today's society.
Although follow repeating the same criticisms that autoavaliamos as brakes process.
Although sometimes seem lost the fight that we face catching the role of communication in
the alienation of the individual. But we value the self-effort that has allowed us to know
that walking is not always at the same pace, and that the dangerous and troublesome
passages have to learn to move firmly and good calculation. We are proud to present the
thirtieth edition of the newspaper "El aguijón & rdq uo;; always insist on a critical
reading of the content and without doubt and disobey.
"El aguijón" April / August 2016.
"El aguijón" is published by young anarchists of Colombia that has made its way since 2009

In his latest book, Imperium, Frédéric Lordon's ambition to "sober up libertarian" to show
them the way of "realism" and "adulthood". A response in defense of internationalism and
radical anti-capitalism. ---- Frédéric Lordon renew claims left thinking, becoming almost
official intellectual standing of Night. From this point of view he began his latest book,
Imperium, a very strange way: by asserting that the principle of verticality is necessary
in any organized society. It basically refers to the holistic sociology Durkheim, that, in
an organized society, the whole is more than the sum of its parts, and this form of
transcendence would imply necessarily a verticality within the company. Moral or legal
norms arising from the superiority of any of its parts would be inevitable, necessary. It
thus denies that they are the fruit of an authoritarian construction. The Spinoza's idea
of a "common affect" collecting society individuals completes the analysis.
Caricature of libertarian thought
Considering that verticality and transcendence are inseparable from social, and
transcendence, verticality, and state are synonymous, Lordon sets his axiom: the State is
unavoidable in any politically organized society. He calls "general state" own this
abstract entity in any society whose modern republican state under capitalism is only a
particular form among others. The problem is that this notion of general state is too
vague, not historical. Lordon going to assume that the experiences of libertarian communes
have also established forms of state, to the extent that they were based on regulatory
federal bodies. He thus ignores the specificity of libertarian political forms. He thinks
discredit libertarian thought and his search for pure horizontality. But he thought this
caricature, which admits forms of verticality at federations of municipalities, without
assimilating these verticals to state forms. That is missing from Lordon: think a
verticality that departs from the base, and no longer based on a seizure of power by a
separate state of self-es.
All this is still very theoretical, but this theory, in which concrete practical steps she
returns? One can get an idea by reading the articles of Lordon, explicitly Keynesian and
protectionist, in Le Monde diplomatique. Certainly, to listen, it would still be "reclaim"
the state. Not destroy it, it's impossible, but to the citizens through the establishment
of a new constitution, most have a say regarding how the state collects social power. They
and they can therefore defend a policy "just" more "social" more "egalitarian". But this
is to forget that the modern state, even if the Citizens are reclaiming the remains
subject to the sphere of financial capital, is only the manager of the capital, and it
does not depend on institutions or the Constitution. Through his critique of unregulated
speculative sphere, Lordon implicitly defends a kind of welfare state radicalized, a
strong central state that redistributes more egalitarian wealth, and prevents the excesses
of finance. But this solution is only a response to the crisis in sales (recovery by
consumption), where the state remains one of the principal agent. Lordon does not attack
capitalism, he is attacking one of its ideological forms, neoliberalism. Keynesian
economists from the group of 1 aghast, he advocated basically a capitalism with a human
face. Is that enough?
Because Lordon naturalizes the "national sentiment", always pressing bases "Spinoza",
"left" would necessarily nationalist, and left nationalism defend protectionist policies
to maintain the autonomy of the national territory. As such, Lordon is not an
anti-capitalist, let alone a revolutionary. Protectionism, in fact, is the defense of a
national economy designed according to the criteria of market rationality. Furthermore, as
only national policy, not international, it does not call into question radically the
rules of the capitalist game, otherwise the country would be faced with the punching power
of the world imperialist military complex (Lordon is constantly attentive to the issue of
"social peace" and "security of the French").
Lordon also criticizes or libertarian communist internationalism, he considers naïve and
unanchored. He quietly merges the simplicity of the "world citizen" new age and the
internationalist libertarian project. It scans the back of his hand the idea that the
workers of the world are all linked and all-es by the fact of their operation, reaffirming
the principle of national belonging. Demonstrating a total lack of nuance, not designing
the universality of internationalism as a universal abstract, theoretical, he forgets the
reality of operating globally, and the possibility to reconcile membership in several
groups humans. Yet local ownership does not exclude the overall membership.
Anti-liberal and anti-capitalist not
As such, one would think a concrete universal, as part of a cosmopolitan federation of
Commons. Lordon refuses to think these nuances, because basically the political model he
advocates is clear: be a little "realistic", he tells us, first save France, and do not be
like those utopian libertarians who would change the whole world. This "realism" in a
world where, at the global level, the disaster is permanent, is quite unconvincing ...
So Keynesians now. As "critical of neoliberalism," they insist especially on the crazy
deregulation of the financial sector, without much worry about besides the recovery of
this criticism by red-brown Semitic. But it does this is only a superficial expression of
capitalism, not its foundations, namely the principles of commodity exchange, accumulation
of value, and labor designed as merchandise.
Keynesians want to save the "real" economy, so it is based on the extraction of surplus
value, that is to say on the exploitation of labor power, and the abstraction of
'accumulated unconsciousness and lack of control of an economy that reverse ends and
means. This is not the abolition of exploitation they want, but the more livable and less
unequal capitalism possible. And lasts longer because Keynesians have the solutions to the
crisis of capitalism. They do not understand that capitalism destroys itself: the
automation of production, which continues with the computer revolution, produced a
devaluation of the value, destroying everything in its path. If he believes that global
capitalism can thrive indefinitely, and that it is to build a society more "healthy" in
it, Lordon has actually nothing realistic, this is a utopian. In a world that destroys
itself and destroys all the way, the realism is the revolution (International).

lt has come to our attention that various organizations have been invited to a conference
ostensibly about "rebuilding the IWA" that is to be held in November in Spain. Due to the
fact that this has caused some confusion as to the nature of said conference and to avoid
any misunderstandings, we would like to clarify a few matters. ---- The Congress of the
lnternational Workers' Association is to be held at the beginning of December in Poland.
This Congress and only this Congress is where decisions about the proposals submitted to
the Association can be made by the entirety of its member Sections. ---- The conference
being held in Spain, to which some organizations were invited, is not organized by the
IWA, although it claims to be a "conference for the preparation of the IWA refoundation".
This initiative is thus a split where outside organizations are being invited to decide
over the future of a federation to which they do not belong. It is held against the
statutes, agreements and principles of the very federation it claims to be refounding and
its aim is to exclude a dozen other member Sections from the process.
We refer to these facts since it has come to our attention that some comrades around the
world may not have been informed to the nature of the conference and believe this is just
an international "solidarity" event. However, the invitation sent to these organizations
clearly state what the purpose is in the title. Therefore, those who are not members of
the IWA Federation must really consider basic principles and ask how it is possible that
anybody proposes to cut out the Members and give a voice to non-members.
The reason for holding this parallel conference before the legitimate one is to involve
outside organizations in shaping the internal conflict. Instead of coming before the
membership. Such a maneouvre is to make it look as if outside organizations are taking
sides in an internal conflict and to place them on one side of a split. This is how the
attendance of outside organizations will be treated, whether or not that was their intention.
With this clarification, we hope to inform the rank and file members of various
organizations, who may not have seen the invitation or be aware of the circumstances. The
IWA meets in December and it is at the Congress that the Member Sections must discuss and
make decisions about the future of the federation, not any non-statutory meeting to which
outside organizations are called to interfere and support the split faction. As stated
before, time is needed to work things out in accordance with the procedures of our
federation and we would appreciate it if outside organizations refrain from involvement in
these matters which concern us directly and need to be resolved by ourselves.
We stress that in no way do we imply that any organizations avoid either the IWA or the
split faction in matters such as international solidarity, which must continue even
through this difficult time. It is possible that no resolution will be reached right away
and that a longer conflict may exist, should the split faction continue to insist on
acting in the name of the existing federation. The IWA has tried not to involve other
organizations in these internal matters or ask them to take sides in the split. The split
faction however has decided to do just that. We ask that people be cautious about such
circumstances so that the situation not have new negative repercussions.

In advance of tonight's Clinton versus Trump presidential debate Black Rose/Rosa Negra
presents a debate our own on how we see this political moment. We also want to know your
thoughts and encourage you to leave them in the comments here or on our facebook page.
---- The Danger of Trump? ---- The question is: Does the possibility of a Trump presidency
represent an unprecedented danger to the left and social movements in the US such as Black
Lives Matter and others? Will a Trump presidency unleash a floodgate of racism and white
nationalism that is deeply embedded into his campaign? Or, are these sentiments
exaggerated as Trump stands a slim chance of actually winning given that much of the
ruling class and "deep state" are adamantly opposed to the unpredictable and
bad-for-business antics of Trump? And do these fears serve to drive the left into
supporting the Democrats out of fear and emboldening their rightward shift and neo-liberal
policy that lays the groundwork for reaction?
We present articles by two sharp left writers that have been publishing some of the best
analysis on the current election cycle from critical and anti-capitalist perspectives. The
first is by radical journalist Arun Gupta and argues the first set of questions above,
essentially that "The Left should take the Trump threat very seriously." The second is by
author Paul Street which argues the later set of questions above and is in response to
Gupta. Although we do not support Street's advocacy for Green Party candidate Jill Stein,
him as well as Gupta offer strong points that we should debate and consider.
The Debate
"How a Trump Presidency Would Unleash a Torrent of Racist Violence - And Devastate the
Left" by Arun Gupta:
"[A]n authoritarian strongman like Trump is such a threat, there is an urgent need to
defend people of color and social movements from the violent white nationalists now riding
his coattails and who will shape his White House agenda. ... This is not a call to stop
criticizing Clinton or to abandon independent organizing and shunt that energy into the
Clinton campaign. That must continue without pause, but taking a second to cast a vote to
stop Trumpism from taking state power will benefit that organizing enormously."
"Keep Calm and Vote Green: Fascism Is Not Coming" by Paul Street:
"[T]he American corporate, financial and imperial ruling class doesn't yet need or want
real or quasi-fascism through Herr Trump or anyone else at this historical moment. The
U.S. model of corporate-managed and "inverted totalitarianism" sold as "democracy" is not
about strongmen and brown shirts. ... Neofascism is simply not where the American ruling
class is right now. When it is, we will know. If and when it gets there, it will put
forward a far more serious and capable frontman than the preposterous Donald ... The "deep
state" has zero interest in the riotous instability that would result from Trump's
election and inauguration."

We are pleased that it was the study of working conditions in non-governmental
organizations. It is a matter which concerns 28 thousand. organizacjii over 100 thousand.
osóbii. This report is a signal that the third sector still creates an opportunity for an
open and critical self-reflection.[PDF report:
http://popop.org.pl/raport-trzecia-strona-medalu-sytuacja-osob-pracujacych-w-polskich-organizacjach-pozarzadowych/]
---- Many phenomena, which collected and describe the author of the report coincides with
the diagnosis of the Commission's Working in Non-Governmental Organizations OZZIP. With
the experience of our members and members but also people outside of our relationship, we
know the stories about the working conditions for NGOs, similar to those collected as part
of this study.
The low and uncertain wages (of which sometimes still need to accompany "tribute" to the
needs of their own contribution projects), mobbing, the lack of job stability, low
standards of health and safety, unpaid overtime, expected full availability (after
conferences and other "events" are usually held in the evenings or weekends), excessive
ambition boards, while lack of space for their own ambition, exploitation volunteers or
forced bending and breaking the law (with exposure to penalties) - all pathologies sector,
which have become - in the end! - The subject of public debate in 2015. Before moving on
to the detailed analysis and recommendations, we note that these phenomena in a
significant part are the result of a broader mechanism of "outsourcing", where you shall
have important public duties to perform non-governmental organizations. Crowning argument
in favor of this action becomes "saving", while less is said to have done it at the
expense of pushing workers and workers in low-paid prekaryjne forms of employment. As an
example, a number of educational foundations, leading schools and educational
institutions, publicly funded, but employing staff on contract, and omitting junk
Teacher's Charter, or the sphere of social welfare.
But the indication symptoms is not enough to make a thorough analysis of the problem.
What's striking to us in a number of discussions on working conditions in non-governmental
organizations lack the perspective of gender and class, which does not allow to articulate
the essential inequality. As a result, the discourse of apparent equality between workers
and management staff ( "we are going in the same boat") contribute to deepening problems,
imposing gag those who want these inequalities and violence speak and fight them.
Therefore, even though the pathologies described in the framework of the report are
similar to those which recognizes Commission NGO, however, the solutions proposed by us
going in the other direction.
The situation of female employees (or volunteer) in the NGO is different than the
employer, a member of the board or prezeski . We are not going in the same boat. In our
opinion, this difference is an inherent feature of labor relations (including those
relating to unpaid work) and the third sector is no different here essentially neither of
budzetówki, or from the private sector. People who work and those employing not assume the
same result, do not have the same responsibilities, the other is their responsibility and
influence decisions. This applies to the whole diverse range of situations which we
encounter in NGOs. Regardless of whether the board gets a salary for their work, or doing
it socially, it is always at an advantage to employees and workers. It's members and board
members are people who decide about their working conditions and the degree of
involvement, as well as other conditions of employment. This distinction is fundamental to
take effective action to improve their situation by employees and workers, volunteers and
volunteers. As an important recommendation we see the approach to the organization
pozarzadowaiii as a place of work, not a non-hierarchical community in which everyone the
same rights act for one mission.
The easiest way to this inequality to see when you run out of money for the salaries of
executives (in those organizations where we are dealing with such a paid feature). None of
the managers do not slow, it Coordinator, working for wages not allowing to postpone for a
rainy day, he must say goodbye to his livelihood. You will be lucky if he gets
(embarrassingly low) unemployment benefit, because it requires employment min.
oskladkowanej year contract, and the NGOs are often employed for a shorter period of time
or on a contract for work. In this context it is not surprising what one of the
respondents of this study: "We sometimes we wondered: why do we need this board? Let us
then refute it! Because why? We and so everything we do. We recruit employees, we write
development strategies, writing projects. This board we only bother and a lot of money
takes away from the budget, because it earns, like, ten times more than us (...)
"(14-PN-F-Noppe-DM).
We must also emphasize that we postulate it is not to replace any agreement in each case
the employment contract or to require full-time jobs in the regulations grant - we are
talking only about the situation, when there is an employment relationship, which is not
in accordance with the provisions of the Labour Code, for the convenience of the board or
to increase the amount of the net is hidden in the form of orders, work or volunteering.
Yes, the employment contract will not solve all the problems of workers, but it will give
rise to a more balanced relationship between management and employees and female
employees. In the so-constructed partnership debate you will find solutions to specific
problems, such as bullying, or bad health and safety.
Another important element is the change in public debate and we are very happy that there
was in her last year of a major breakthrough. But remember that this debate can not be
suppressed in the name of so-called. interest sector, especially when interest is defined
by only one dominant group. The quest for "national unity at any price," which is to take
place at the expense of the weaker participants and participants of social life, is a
problem faced by all progressive environment, also resounds in the discussions on the
current political situation. Women's rights, tenants, social issues or climate change -
all these topics, which is to come later. Similarly, labor issues in the NGO. Only the
right time never comes.
But above all, this discussion must be based on facts, which is why research such as
interviews conducted by the Foundation for Social Initiatives "Up will do!", Can
contribute to improving the situation of working in NGOs. They may, provided that the
views of workers and employees will be dismissed as "wrong", or threatening the very image
of the sector. Therefore, we hope that such research to generate more. It is also
important that the difference in the prospects of the employer and the employee or the
methodology or analysis is not obscure.
For the sake of this debate also appeal to the workers and employees of the disclosure of
any conflict, violence, and violation of workers' rights. Let the example will be our
courageous attitude of one of the employees of the Foundation Bec change, which revealed
that for several months he worked under a contract of work, but demanded a contract of
employment, rightly recognizing that his work fulfills the employment relationship
(carried out his work in one place at the appointed time, on a continuous basis and
subject to the decisions of the superior). It is therefore in that organization ceased
pathological practice (to our knowledge few people changed the contract for work on the
contract of employment, which in Polish reality of the third sector should be considered a
success). What's more, the courage of the people launched a wider debate on the status of
work and workers' rights NGOs.
The key category that we use in union activities, is the concept of building your
bargaining power, understood as a source of strength employees and workers to negotiate
their interests and the possibility of development of their relations. This strategy is
vitally important, "associational bargaining power" iv, ie that which is constituted
concerted action group of employees.
Our recommendation stems precisely from this, the well-known movement Staff (as well as
other social movements driving the systemic change) has long been the truth that the basic
recommendation for the weaker participants social game is: organize yourself!
Let's solidarity and solidarity with colleagues from work, when they are in conflict with
his superiors.
Wesprzyjmy those who - despite fears of ostracism environmental and difficulty in finding
another job - talk publicly about pathologies.
Solidaryzujmy with other professional groups, because someday we will need their support.
Let us also remember about employees and pracownicach from other countries, especially
outside Europe, where often working conditions are significantly worse, and the chance to
break into the social consciousness even smaller.
Disclose their salaries and conditions of employment, remembering that to the
"associational bargaining power" to build must neutralize potentially conflictual issues
in the team.
We demand real democracy in our workplaces. Some non-governmental organizations on their
banners have passwords associated with increased social participation, some implement
projects for participation of citizens and nationals in public life - let the association
or foundation will be the place where the process starts. Let us walk to the restoration
of the idea of the association, where the highest authority is the general meeting of the
members and the members, and the board is an entity which implements the decisions. Strive
to us as employees and workers have a real impact on our workplace - both in terms of
working conditions, strategic objectives, and substantive tasks carried out by the
organization.
Let us use of our rights workers - have won it for us generations of activists. Urge
adequate wage for the work, full-time contracts for an indefinite period, to respect the
right to free time, decent and safe working conditions. And when that fails - Let us dare
to articulate our interests. If necessary, we can also report the matter to the National
Labour Inspectorate (PIP), Provincial Sanitary-Epidemiological or the competent local
labor courts and social security.
But most of all, Let us now in a wider movement for change, we assume commissions works,
inter-regional and, wstepujmy to existing environmental committee. "Solidarity our weapon"
is not just a slogan, it is also an effective strategy for change in the tightly
sprekaryzowanym NGO world.

Today, prisons in the US largely base their operation on the work of prisoners. - Over
2.5 million people are imprisoned, condemned to work compulsively or interior finish
prison, in plantations, the military industry or multinational companies such as
McDonald's, Microsoft, Victoria's secret, Honda, Starbucks, Johnson and Johnson, Wendy's,
Bayer and many others. - So, the detainees and US prisoners experiencing poverty and
realizing that without their work in prisons can create a deregulation mode of operation,
the April 1, 2016 published a call for action against the slavery of confinement imposed
on them, announcing coordinated abstention from wages across country starting on September
9, 2016. ---- Like they say "The slavery of the prison system still exists, but by the end
of this year we will do for now. This is a call n 'apoteleiosoume slavery in America and
addressed directly to / bis themselves / their s / bis slaves / s. We do not make requests
or ask something of them that keep us captive / s. Instead, we call ourselves n 'take
action. For every prisoner / or in any state and federal detention in these territories:
to invite you to stop it easy slave / s, n 'let the crops rot in the plantations, to go on
strike, and to cease to contribute to reproduction of institutions that keep captive / a.
This is a call for abstention prisoners of wages throughout the country in order to put an
end to slavery prison, starting on September 9, 2016. These facilities can not function
without us.
To achieve this goal, we need support from the world outside the walls. A prison is an
environment in which it's easy to urgency locking prisoners in cells, a containment and
control part, where repression is built into every stone fence and chain link, in every
gesture and routine. When they stir up against these principles, turning furiously against
us, and the only protection we have is solidarity from the outside. "
Of course, the 9 Semptemvri is a date symbol for the prisoners' struggles as 45 years ago
on September 9, 1971 occurred the uprising in the prison of Attica. Approximately 1,200
prisoners occupy the premises of the Attica prison while holding hostage 38 guards and
prison officials. Their demands include amnesty and the release of all political prisoners
in the US. On September 13 police intervention performed and the army unleashing barrage
of gunfire with the report 43 dead and over 250 wounded.
The mobilization of prisoners has now spread to many US states from Alabama to universal
participation of prisoners and Florida where performed extensively episodes to Louisiana,
Virginia, the Georgia, Texas, North and South Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, California and Hawaii, and Alaska. Simultaneously it has
expanded outside the US where detainees in one of the camps of Guantanamo in Cuba are on
hunger strike for the hearing, the die booking. Moreover, prisoners / s from other corners
of the earth (eg, Mexico, Canada, Greece) have already responded to the call.
Demonstrations prisoners raging elsewhere in the world, from Greece (eg the Women's Prison
of Korydallos, male prisons Trikala) to Australia (eg juvenile prisons in Melbourne).
Also, dozens of prison inmates in France stole keys from a sergeant, opened all the cells
and rushed in mass vandalism, torching and a building.
The prisons are all forms of promotion and breeding areas of inclusion practice. A
practice which acts as an integral tool of a system from the beginning of the
consolidation of uses labor slavery at the altar of profit and production. In other words,
labor slavery in sweatshops prison, with the clear coercive and alienating nature, is
configured based on the needs of the state and capital. So, in this case the
marginalization of certain individuals on the part of the state and imprisoned them with
pieces consensus of society, not only serves the "chastisement" through innumerable forms
of repression, but also reinforces capitalism. The imprisoned workers (and non-human
animals), that is, turning the gears of factories for profit of multinationals are the
main driver of the economy, with the minimum cost for this. Of course, the massive
practice of such abuse in prisons is a valuable opportunity that such a system be
strengthened.
From our side we could not help but stand in solidarity with the struggle of the US
prisoners' against slavery. " The various forms of inclusion, and regardless of the type
to which they apply are presented as fundamental for the proper functioning of the system
and thus distract social consensus. The rule, therefore, organized and set up by the state
and capital legitimize incarceration as a means of maintaining normalcy, as a punitive
practice as a method for easier access to the exploited person and the industrialization
of the extermination. On the labor slavery in the US until the labor slavery in milk
production units, etc., All, the enclosure forms are closely intertwined. Prisons borrow
surveillance and control techniques of the slaughterhouses, the limits of sensory
deprivation and social isolation investigated in biotech-neurobiological laboratories in
other animals, and then the human incarceration industry utilizes the results of the
experiments, or not so
The solidarity between those who fight, rebel, rebel knows no walls, rails, borders and
distances. It is an integral condition of antiauthoritarian struggle, an ongoing process.
In the struggle against the state and its mechanisms, the capitalist edifice, the
plundering of nature, confinement and non-human animals and the values of hierarchy,
solidarity is one of our weapons. To fight for the destruction of the world powers, the
freedom of us all.
On the occasion of the "fight against slavery" of prisoners in the US, will be held in
Patras, Thursday 29/10 at 20:00 to the St. Nicholas stairs projection of documentary
"Prisoner world".
Also Saturday 1/10 will take place Concentration-Microphone solidarity with eligibility
Annex, at 12:00.

On September 24 last thousands of people demonstrated in Rome in solidarity with the
Kurdish people. Women and men of all ages, from the early hours of the morning, came to
the city from all parts of Italy, from north to south and islands to focus on Praça da
Porta Pia. ---- The event, opened by the Kurdish community, was followed by solidarity
movements from different regions, women, committees, associations, the No Tav[No to High
Speed Train]without MUOS[Mobile User Objective System - Telecommunication System
Military], community centers and anarchist groups. ---- The USI-AIT[International Italian
Association-Union Workers Union], grassroots trade unions, civil society together in
support of the Kurdish resistance and the people living in these territories. Many, in
fact, libertarians, represented by the Anarchist Federation or not, have responded to the
call made in recent days by the Anarchist Group Carlo Cafiero / FAI-Rome and the Italian
Anarchist Federation and participated in the red segment and black "In State In Nation
Federalism Revolution "(No State, No Nation, Federalism and Revolution).
The red and black flag of IFA[International Federations Anarchists]and USI-AIT
characterized the journey and not just as the march paraded through the city streets. Near
the Turkish embassy were heard cries of protest against the fascist Edorgan[Turkish
President]and Kurdish resistance songs were chanted along the march. In the days before
the event took place in Rome pamphlets and speeches through megaphones and a protest in
front of the Turkish embassy tourist office, still experiencing a Bicicletada and the
opening of solidarity groups in the Garibaldi Bridge, and posters solidarity to the
Kurdish people have filled the walls of the city.
The event took place exactly one month after the Turkish army's entry into Jarablus (city
in Kurdish / Syria). Jarablus is a city near the Turkish-Syrian border and Kobane city
released in January 2015, after 137 days of siege ISIS[Islamic State].
The city of Kobane was released by the Kurdish resistance, the guerrillas and guerrilla of
the People's Self-Defense Units (YPG) and Self-Defense Units of Women (YPJ).
The Turkish state, on August 24, invaded Jarablus obviously in a concerted manner, as when
the Turkish army arrived ISIS had just left the city.
An invasion planned by the Turkish army, right between the Turkish state and ISIS, has the
purpose to crush the revolution in blood Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan). The Turkish state has
begun "Operation Shield Euphrates" to implement the final solution and the annihilation of
the Kurdish people.
The Kurdish genocide of the project and of all people living in the Kurdistan region came
after a year of bloodshed and war, thousands of civilian deaths, hundreds of villages,
destroyed villages and summary executions, forcing thousands of displacements.
In regions of Turkey, a Kurdish majority (Bakur) is now in an open war against the
civilian population.
After the failure of the military coup in Turkey in July, Erdogan has strengthened his
dictatorship and increased terror among the population not only Kurdish. Has press freedom
been eliminated across the country, were imprisoned journalists and lawyers, laid off tens
of thousands of civil servants, teachers and academics, objectors to military service,
while it has increased repression of active groups in struggles and movements social,
under the guise of a state of emergency.
Anarchists, Socialists and Democrats Kurdish groups were hit by liberticidal attitude of
the Turkish government. Even the anarchists and the anarchist group DAF (Devrimci Anarsist
Faaliyet / Action Revolutionary Anarchist) were affected by repression when his Meydan
newspaper was closed.
The Erdogan project to create a "buffer zone", an incomplete wall along the Turkish /
Syrian border, follows well ahead and is where the Turkish state has made and continues to
move supplies to the ISIS.
On August 13, the city of Mambij was liberated by Syrian Democratic Forces (FDS)
controlled by the Islamic State. An important step for the revolution in Rojava (Syrian
Kurdistan). This advance of the Kurdish resistance and ISIS defeat was not appreciated by
the Turkish regime of Erdogan and Syrian Assad.
With the revolution in Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan), in July 2012, the Kurdish liberation
movement has created an advice self-management system in urban and rural areas based on
communitarianism a federalist self-organization based on ecology, equality in diversity of
peoples, cultures and genres. The advancement of self-determination of the Kurds is a
threat to capitalism, the state, patriarchy, and the imperialist powers and the arms
dealers who profit from the war.
Under the pretext of helping refugees created by a war from which the Turkish state is
directly involved, the EU[European Union]granted to such State 6 billion euros, and added,
in recent days, EUR 348 million.
In Rojava in Bakur, as in Italy and the rest of the world revolution in a libertarian
perspective it is the heritage of all anarchist and internationalist anarchist groups.
