Alain Guyard is a philosophy teacher like no other. This is what shows the beautiful
documentary Yohan Laffort released in theaters as of this October. ---- Far from the high
schools, where he taught for years, Alain Guyard travels the roads of the region (he lives
in the Gard) and beyond, to go take his questions to different audiences and in unusual
places: under a circus tent at the foot of Mont Ventoux, at the bottom of the Demoiselles
cave (Hérault), a psychiatric hospital Uzes (Gard), in a Belgian jail or with apprentice
nursery or young farmers ... ---- Because for Alain Guyard, out of school does not mean
creating philo-cafes for people already heavily featuring cultural capital nor do personal
development courses to executives at the edge of a nervous breakdown. This is to reach
those who would not have otherwise had access to philosophy, even the "humble without rank
and without qualification," as the philosopher said, without delivering them ready-to-think.
This is a thought in motion, critical, disturbing them and they will be entitled, with the
help of the concepts of great authors (Parmenides, Plato, Spinoza, Nietzsche, Jankélévitch
...), but always with the aim not to bring a small cultural bonus, but to provoke a
genuine intellectual shock. All with a carnal and funny language, and in a friendly
atmosphere.
And, as long as the images are any indication, it works pretty well: audiences are
certainly troubled and confused, a bit overwhelmed by all they heard, but also the
sparkling eyes of those who have not only spent forty five minutes excellent, but know
that once settled, all they have heard their open unexpected paths on the way of thinking.
Not only on the life, death and nature, but also on issues directly political, because the
old militant of the CNT what Alain Guyard also built in these "meetings of Diogenes" (the
name of this cynical Greek philosopher who lived in a barrel, a tribute to the truant
thinking) a subversive philosophy, through the warning against the power and challenging
the leaders of the powerful and those who claim our thinking for us and direct us. In
short, a libertarian approach to philosophy.

employers. The Abd Elsalam Ahmed Eldanf while lying on strike protection, the employer
instructs truck company to break it. The result ; The truck driver and worker in the
company breaks the strike protection and killing one worker and injuring another. The same
practice has been followed by that company in the past, but have been victimized.
But here we must not forget that apart from the employers, who will do whatever it takes
to ensure its profits come across and the driver of the truck, who although working in a
company chooses to take the side of the bosses and turned against his fellow chooses to
become a minion of the bosses and not be found on the side of the struggling workers,
people who fight for a more dignified life.
We have no illusions and no surprises us where to get the bosses to their profits. The
assassination of Abd Elsalam Ahmed Eldanf is working assassination, which adds to a huge
list written in blood exploited by the teachers killings in Mexico in 2016, the attack on
K. Kuneva 2008 with vitriol from accidents , fatal (see Latsis oils) and not by the
employer threats when workers are not "establishments complies" with their requirements
and their appetites, from state repression struggling workers by para-fascist attacks
(Perama, Michaniona).
We know that the bosses seek full control and the consequent degradation of our lives and
do not hesitate to murder devaluing the lives of those who are fighting against the
exploitation regime, the life of the oppressed fighting against the state and capital,
against the bosses and their profits.
Not forgetting the working assassination of Abd Elsalam Ahmed Eldanf, not forgetting the
fight against the rulers and the continuous war they have unleashed in from below, not
forgetting to struggle together locals and immigrants, unemployed and workers, oppressed
and damned of this earth to reclaim a life with dignity.

On Monday, October 3 throughout the country will be held Nationwide Strike Women - a
series of protests against the planned tightening the law on abortion. The organizers and
the organizers are appealing to all women about not coming to work that day and
participated in protests. ---- OZZ Workers' Initiative supports the strike and urges all
members and members of a compound of active participation in Monday's protests. Our
relationship has consistently spoke out against the ban on abortion and participated in
demonstrations and pickets in defense of women's rights. We encourage you to join the
fighting, which we are in our workplaces with the struggle for women's right to decide
about their own bodies. ---- [Read the position of the National Commission 'strike women
now! "][Page action Nationwide Strike Women]
The National Commission OZZ Workers' Initiative OZZ IP issued a position which indicates
that "a total ban on abortion denies women control over their own fertility. In this way
they are forced to perform unpaid work in the care of unplanned offspring. The ban on
strikes so in the poorest social strata, which have limited access to means of
subsistence, not to mention the funds to pay for the "illegal" abortion. "
Although the existing regulations on the different ways to reduce employees and workers
the opportunity to organize a "legal" strike, however, there are a number of means that
can be used to Oct. 3 not to come to work, "Since the Act on the settlement of collective
disputes prohibits strike in the social and economic issues concerning the entire country,
we call for taking strike in other forms. without looking at the formal constraints do not
come that day to work. Every absenteeism workers and employees is not only a head in a
single employer, and the whole system of exploitation. that day we leave on demand,
holiday area or free, we give blood. These forms strike repeatedly been practiced in
Poland and around the world many times and have proven their effectiveness. "
We hope that on October 3 meet on the streets of Polish cities.
What can you do to support the strike?
Print a poster and flyer, which you can find at the bottom of the text, and then
distribute them to colleagues in the workplace;
On Oct. 3 report "leave on request", make an application for leave or free, or use the
right to take the day off to "child care" - if this is not possible you can donate blood
that day, what is also entitled to a day off;[Read the guide "Blood donation - additional
free and not just"]
If your plant operating committee of the factory or the inter OZZ IP then you can delegate
your committee members to participate in the demonstrations taking place that day, using
the so-called. "hours of union"[read the guide on the use of union hours];
If you can not take the day off in any of the above-mentioned manner, dress for work in
black, and after work, take part in a demonstration organized in your town.
Where will be protests?
Full list of events organized within the framework of the "National strike women," is
available on the event on Facebook - demonstrations are held in virtually all urban

------------------------------------------
* A model for tomorrow's National Women's Strike is the occurrence of Icelandic women of
24 October 1975. When the work is not joined this 90% of women (almost half of the
citizens). The event unique in the world. The reason for the protest was uneven situation
of women and men in the labor market and wages. Women showed a great strength have and how
important they are to the economy of Iceland. They took to the streets under the banner
EQUALITY - PROGRESS - ROOM. In the capital to protest participated 25-30 thousand people,
and in other cities organized meetings and lectures on women's rights. The protest was
widely commented on in the world media. Photos of the protest in Reykjavik flashed around
the world, and foreign journalists conducted interviews with Icelandic women about their
pay and working conditions.
The background to these events is the proclamation by the General Assembly of the United
Nations 1975 International Year of Women. First World Konferecja on Women, held in late
June and early July 1975 in Mexico, assumed to strengthen efforts to promote equality
between women and men to ensure that women have full-fledged participation in the
development and enhance their contribution to the building of world peace.
After forty years of these events, the labor market situation has not changed. There are
still inequalities in wages and in taking positions. In rural areas, these disparities are
greater than in the capital, and in the West fjords (Vestfjörður) as high as 63% (data
from 2014.).

The Occupation of the American Mind
Israel's Public Relations War in the United States
film screening
Sunday 2nd October.
2-4pm
Kinning Park Complex 43 Cornwall St, Glasgow G41 1BA
"It is arguable that the success of business propaganda in persuading us, for so long that
we are free from propaganda is one of the most significant propaganda achievements of the
twentieth century." John Carey
The education of persuasion
Maybe we need to ask why our education system trains us in the merits of Public Relations
(propaganda), in, being first, winning a place, getting to the top, fighting the
competition. While there is little or nothing in teaching students how to protect
themselves from the adverse effects of corporate propaganda?
The scope of this film is much wider than this particular subject matter, it has lessons
that can be applied to a wide variety of propagandised social and political issues.
Are we being educated by media propaganda? Watch!
"Harrowing and incendiary! A vital and unmissable film"
Dave Zirin The Nation
Israel's Public Relations War in the United States
Narrated by Pink Floyd's Roger Waters
"Once you know how something is put in place you can start to take it apart"

An Anti-Colonial Menu
Sunday 2nd October 7-9pm
Kinning Park Complex, 43 Cornwall Street, G41 1BA
Culinary Legacies of Colonialism:
An Anti-Colonial Menu
Sun 2 Oct at 7pm, Kinning Park Complex, 43 Cornwall Street, Glasgow £10 (includes film
ticket and two course meal)
An Anti-Colonial Menu looks to discuss ancestral delicacies from the African continent
pre-colonial rule. This one off dine and view event looks to discuss the politics and
heritage of African cooking as one of the most diverse, yet least experienced, least
understood cuisines in the world, through the research of historical foods and lost
recipes from all of Africa - with the idea that the hangover of colonial rule also extends
its legacy within the everyday food experience.
This communal dining experience will be followed by the film Black Girl.
This event is brought to you by Black History Month, Soul Food Sisters, Aya Distribution,
Africa in Motion Film Festival, Küche and African Challenge Scotland.
La noire de... (Black Girl) | Ousmane Sembène | Senegal/France 1966 | 1h5m | French with
English subtitles | 12
This recently and beautifully restored version of Black Girl is pioneering Senegalese
director Ousmane Sembène's first feature film, and is one of the first features by a
director from sub-Saharan Africa. The film tells the tragic story of Diouana, a young
Senegalese woman who finds work as a childminder for a French couple in Dakar. When the
couple return to the south of France, she goes with them, dreaming of a life of luxury and
fine clothes on the Côte d'Azur. However, things don't turn out as she planned. A very
moving and beautifully filmed portrayal of the gradual breakdown of a fragile, young
woman, this is a great opportunity to see one of the genuine classics of African cinema.

In front of the Polish embassy held the first protest against the adoption of the law
restricting the access of Polish women to abortion. ---- Ages over, Ages takes ... I
remembered known chorus hit, after the Internet began to spread the news that the Polish
Sejm passed the first reading draconic law restricting the access of Polish women to
abortion. ---- Compared to the current situation in Poland, where it is possible for a
woman to undergo an abortion in the case of threat to their life or health (or if the
fetus is malformed, or when the pregnancy as a result of proven / sic! / Rape or incest),
decided to Polish lawmakers get to debate the option where it already so cruel act also
harder to a complete ban. Left only exception would remain an acute danger to the mother's
life. I say to myself, what is probably led to the last minor concession stand?
Women in Poland and in solidarity with them and abroad began to prepare for protests. In
the Czech Republic the protests, decided to join the progressive part of the political
public, represented by green, pirate, social democrat, unsurprisingly, also an anarchist
and other followers of the radical Left and the trade unions.
The Polish embassy in Waldstein street'm 26. 9. Monday against "our black-and-red
practice" arrived half an hour before the official start. On site at the moment it was
just the first of the organizers Bartošová Lydia Frank, a member of the Pirate Party, but
other organizers arrived within fifteen minutes and the event started on time, which, I
hate to repeat myself, not for domestic activist scene completely custom. Gradually
gathered half a second hundreds of people in black clothing with pickets, flags and wire
straps (instrument back door abortions). Among the gathered women had at least a
two-thirds majority. The first speech was given by Lydia F. Bartošová and it was a
striking manifestation of a radical, which pleasantly surprised me because we anarchists
have little pirates for conformists. In her speech sounded inter alia: "The policy of the
state should be in the interest of the people who live there. The proposal, which
discusses the Polish Sejm, by this satisfies us. Anyone who wants to enslave women seek to
have the power of their fertility. Sterilization, forced pregnancy, forced abortion or
vice versa zakazovanými. We women are the heart of the company. As long as women are
legally raped, it is futile to seek peace. As long as we are oppressed, we all suffer ...
with concern the rise across Europe, authoritarian and paternalistic tendencies. They also
include a pressure suppression already been hard-won women's rights. "For Social Democrat
spoke Magdalena Pospíchalová, then the green Monika Horakova, for the Czech Women's Lobby
Hana Stelzerová. In all the speeches were heard calls for solidarity, self-organization
and to relent in the fight, because only those rights that are permanently defended and
guarded, only that it is possible to maintain.
Very strong was the performance Lucie Hradecka of the Green re / vision, who presented his
speech, raising his bloody fist, which wielded menstrual tampon, which then with a sign
saying "My body, my choice" and "My blood, your shame!" Tossed over the fence at Embassy
plot. Onlookers policemen tried it fine, but at the same time began Protesters hang wire
hangers on the fence, which the police also tried to defend himself. Some protesters also
threw hangers behind the fence, and as far as I know, the police eventually fined not
granted to anyone. Besides these women spoke of pirates and chairman Ivan Bartos, who
early on in the speech he emphasized that the Assembly came as a private person. He said
that the attack on women's rights is a manifestation of a broader shift in society towards
authoritarianism with which he strongly disagrees, though himself not considered a radical
feminist. Under this amendment harvested from the present critical remarks.
Shortly after Zewlakk Petr Vrabec took a group photo, protesters peacefully dispersed.
Another black protest will be held on Saturday 1st 10th at 13 o'clock at Palacky Square.
