Democracy Unchained Book Launch
Saturday 11th Febuary, 1800-2000
CCA, 350 Sauchihall St, G3 3JD

Join us for the Launch of Democracy Unchained, written by a group of supporters towards a 
Real Democracy Movement. Presentation and discussion. Refreshments will be served.

The book is presented as a draft. It sets out a framework for discussing the potential for 
a new movement. It tries to set out what is wrong with the existing system, what real 
democracy could look like and how it could be achieved. The aim is to encourage people to 
think about what lies beyond the present situation, share ideas at face-to-face meetings, 
on social media, on-line etc. with the aim of launching the RDM in the course of 2017.

The event is a contribution to the Neo-Liberalism v. Democracy Congress, Glasgow, 11-12 
February - more information here:

GAS, Tradeston Industrial Estate G5 8 (email glasgow@afed.org.uk for address)

The history of jewellery: our connection to it socially and personally and the role 
capitalism plays in that. Led by a jeweller who is also an anarchist.

Jewellery is a universal form of adornment dating back tens of thousands of years. This 
talk presented by Maddie, a jeweller and anarchist, explores some of the history of 
jewellery; its socio-economic significance, how it relates to gender, class, the 
environment and how it has been used and adapted by over the ages. Prepare to learn a 
whole new side to jewellery; a vast global business based around mythology, sentiment, 
status, ownership, exploitation and extremely successful marketing.

Kinning Park Complex, 43 Cornwall St, G41 1BA

**** 18:30 EARLY BIRDS PLACARD MAKING WORKSHOP!!****
Arrive early for a placard making workshop to make signs for the imminent One Day Without 
us- Glasgow rally taking place the next day on George Square 12-2pm Mon Feb 20th. Bring 
spare paper, paints, glue, scissors, sharpies, felt pens, cardboard, sticks, and lots of 
things to say about standing up for migrants living, working and studying in the UK.

*******19:30-21:30 SPOKEN WORD AND MUSIC EVENT********
‘A Word with Us' has been organised by One Day Without Us Glasgow in support of the One 
Day Without Us: UK National Protest and will host performances from a diverse range of 
migrant writers and musicians living, working and studying in Glasgow and their supporters.

By sharing this space and our words, we want to subvert the ways the label ‘migrant' has 
been weaponised to divide us and use it to find solidarity across our differences in song, 
story and poetry: from asylum seekers to family members, international students to EU 
workers - we ask you to join us in affirming diversity, celebrating our shared humanity 
and standing up for migrant rights.

We particularly want to welcome writers in the asylum process and will be raising funds 
for their transport costs and for organisations that support them such as LGBT Unity 
Scotland and Refuweegee

Message us if you are interested in performing  but there will be an open mic available on 
the day too

*ENTRY: free for those in asylum process / £3 donation otherwise*

I am your friend, your teacher, your nurse. I am your next door neighbour, your cleaner, 
your driver. I helped build your house and look after you and your children. I am a part 
of your community and, sometimes, even part of your family. I am not a statistic. Does it 
matter that I was not born here?

Day after day, people like me wake up in fear. Fear of persecution, violence, 
exploitation, and destitution. Fear of being torn away from our communities and the people 
we love. Through no fault of our own, we have been made pawns in a political power game 
where fear of foreigners is used to justify austerity and increased public surveillance. 
As long as this continues, we all lose.

All of us need a home, healthcare, education, meaningful relationships and to live free 
from fear. We need to stand together and not let hate and greed divide us. Our differences 
nurture our solidarity. On the 20th of February 2017, we ask you to join us in affirming 
diversity and celebrating our shared humanity.

Students Not Suspects Scotland Tour- Glasgow
Tuesday 28th Febuary, 1730-2000
University of Strathclyde Student's Association, 90 John St, G1 1JH

Find out about Preventing PREVENT, and surveillance of students

The impact of the Counter Terrorism and Security Act is normalizing Islamophobia and 
forcing public servants to act as informants. Students taking action are threatened with 
dismissal, arrest and huge court costs. Scottish institutions are under pressure, by the 
government, to produce policies, processes, and procedures to monitor students.

How can we ensure prevent implementation doesn't scapegoat our students?

This event is for anyone interested in resisting the impact of the Prevent duty and 
working together on ensuring the implementation doesn't negatively impact students. The 
speeches and workshops aim to equip students and activists with the knowledge and networks 
to take these campaigns on locally, IN YOUR INSTITUTIONS.

Organised by the Black Students Campaign - NUS Scotland, Federation of Student Islamic 
Societies (FOSIS) and the University and College Union (UCU)

Les agradecemos a lxs traductores anónimxs que publicaron esta traducción el 28 de 
diciembre de 2016 en la pagina web Insumissia ---- Los miembros del Comité de Solidaridad 
Rojava-Siria de Rosa Negra (BRRN-RSSC) condenan con la máxima contundencia al régimen de 
Bashar al-Assad y a sus aliados rusos e iraníes por su reciente conquista de Alepo 
Oriental. Esta brutal derrota de los rebeldes de Alepo, tanto seculares como islámicos, ha 
sido el resultado de un bombardeo y un asedio masivos indiscriminados por parte del 
régimen sirio y las fuerzas rusas e iraníes aliadas contra una población civil de 250.000 
personas en los últimos meses. El 12 de diciembre de 2016, esta despiadada política de 
«tierra quemada» dirigida contra Alepo Oriental produjo una derrota final de los rebeldes, 
además de un «acuerdo» estipulando supuestamente su evacuación con las familias hacia 
áreas seguras.

Informes fidedignos, sin embargo, advierten que, en numerosos casos, las fuerzas 
victoriosas de Assad y sus aliados no han observado estas anunciadas treguas desde la 
captura del resto de la ciudad: se les acusa de hacer desaparecer por la fuerza a cientos 
de hombres y niños desde que retomaron las restantes áreas donde había presencia rebelde 
dentro de la milenaria ciudadela. La derrota de los defensores de lo que antes se conocía 
como «Alepo Libre» ha sido alcanzada por los métodos más crueles, que incluían la 
destrucción ilícita de vidas humanas, especialmente las de niños, mediante el bombardeo 
aéreo masivo del régimen y ruso, y los ataques de artillería a los distritos rebeldes. Las 
extensas atrocidades de las que están acusadas las fuerzas militares y paramilitares 
sirias que han tomado Alepo Este coinciden con el modus operandi general de terror 
despótico del régimen de Assad, que ha dado lugar a una cifra estimada de 60.000 
desapariciones forzadas desde el comienzo de la Revolución Siria en marzo de 2011.

El RSSC reconoce claramente que la Revolución Siria existe y continúa, incluso en medio de 
la pérdida de Alepo a manos de las fuerzas del régimen. La devastadora caída de Alepo y el 
enorme sufrimiento humano que ha sufrido representan tragedias de inmensas proporciones 
que no pueden ser ignoradas por los revolucionarios y revolucionarias o la humanidad en 
general. Esta «victoria» para el régimen de Assad y sus crímenes contra la humanidad 
también anticipan consecuencias en general negativas para la revolución siria. Con la 
reciente captura por parte del Estado de Alepo y de Daraya hace cuatro meses, quedan pocas 
ciudades importantes de Siria que permanezcan fuera del alcance dictatorial de Assad. 
Salvo Rojava y el territorio todavía ocupado por el Estado Islámico, solamente Idlib y 
otras ciudades más pequeñas siguen bajo control rebelde. Desde los espacios saqueados, la 
destrucción de las necesidades básicas y el resurgimiento de las enfermedades raras hasta 
las desapariciones, las ejecuciones en masa, el enterramiento bajo los escombros de los 
edificios derrumbado, o el hecho de que sólo un hospital funcione en una ciudad de casi 2 
millones... La gente se enfrenta a dos opciones posibles; o escapar de la guerra o luchar 
en ella. En cuanto a la lucha armada, deseamos aclarar que la tan denostada y 
ultraderechista Fatah al-Sham (anteriormente Jabhat al-Nusra o JAN) mantuvo una clara 
minoría dentro de las fuerzas rebeldes de Alepo Este, y que de hecho había sido expulsada 
del área por los revolucionarios organizados durante casi un año hasta el verano pasado, 
cuando se reagrupó para ayudar a romper el asedio mantenido por Assad y sus aliados, lo 
que lleva al resultado final que ahora observamos. En paralelo, los rebeldes del este de 
Alepo expulsaron a las fuerzas del Estado islámicos de la zona ya en 2014. En virtud de 
las circunstancias creadas por líderes autoritarios como Assad y los estados imperialistas 
como EEUU y Rusia, hay que apoyar a los refugiados a toda costa, y de todas las maneras 
que podamos. Es de esperar que Assad y sus aliados militares rusos e iraníes ahora 
repetirán el terror ejercido contra la población civil de Alepo Este, bombardeando de 
manera similar el resto de ciudades de mayoría suní y a la población hasta su sometimiento 
y llevando a cabo desapariciones forzadas y ejecuciones sumarias en masa.

Al reflexionar sobre la caída de Alepo, debemos criticar el papel que el Partido de la 
Unión Democrática Kurda (PYD) y sus mundialmente conocidas milicias YPG e YPJ, jugaron en 
este proceso. Mientras que la izquierda antiautoritaria internacional ha aclamado 
acertadamente a la Revolución de Rojava (2012-presente) como un proceso emancipador que 
recuerda a la Revolución española de 1936-1939, se ha prestado menos atención a la 
relación entre Rojava y el régimen sirio. La verdad es que los innegables logros de la 
Revolución del Kurdistán sirio fueron posibles gracias a la retirada de las fuerzas de 
Assad de la región noreste de Siria en 2012.Todo lo contrario por desgracia que la 
situación de la Revolución Siria, con las pérdidas masivas durante estos mismos años de 
los movimientos de la mayoría árabe suní en las regiones del país levantadas contra Assad. 
De hecho, algunos comentaristas críticos han acusado al PYD, ya sea por permanecer 
«neutral» o incluso ponerse abiertamente del lado del régimen desde 2012. En lo que 
respecta a Alepo, se acusa a las milicias del PYD de haber conspirado con Assad y sus 
diversos aliados internacionales reaccionarios para el desmantelamiento de sistema del 
consejos de Alepo Este y de ayudar a llevar el distrito de la ciudad de nuevo bajo el 
control del estado. Deseamos investigar más estas afirmaciones sobre las acciones de las 
milicias del PYD en Alepo, expresando nuestra preocupación, y declaramos nuestro apoyo 
-salvo en algunos de los aspectos militares del PYD- al movimiento TEV-DEM  que lucha para 
implementar el confederalismo democrática mediante la construcción de poder popular basado 
en las comunas y concejos de la región, así como a los elementos específicamente 
feministas de la Revolución de Rojava.

En medio de este giro negativo de los acontecimientos posteriores a la caída de Alepo -el 
silenciamiento de las revoluciones árabes, tal vez, al menos en este momento- reconocemos 
la dignidad de la resistencia de la defensa civil de Siria a las atrocidades de Assad, 
Rusia, Irán y sus milicias aliadas. Declaramos nuestro apoyo a la revolución siria que se 
mantiene viva en los restantes Comités Locales de Coordinación (LCC) y en los esfuerzos 
paralelos de autoorganización, así como en el martirio de las personas muertas desde el 
inicio de la revolución y su desarrollo en una guerra civil regional/mundial .

Denunciamos el terrible desprecio por la vida humana demostrado por el Estado 
contrarrevolucionario y las fuerzas militares internacionales en Alepo y en gran parte de 
Siria. Exigimos el cese inmediato de las ventas y transferencias de armas al régimen de 
Assad y la retirada de los militares rusos e iraníes y las milicias chiítas iraquíes, 
libanesas y afganas que están sosteniendo una dictadura que se tambalea, además de la 
cancelación del apoyo de EE.UU y la OTAN a las milicias kurdas y el apoyo económico y 
militar a los rebeldes islámicos de derecha por parte de Turquía, Arabia Saudí, Qatar y el 
resto de monarquías reaccionarios del Golfo. Creemos que sólo despejando Siria de todas 
las intervenciones imperialistas se logrará avanzar hacia la justicia y la liberación, ya 
que estas fuerzas imperialistas inevitablemente sólo causarán una degradación de las 
estrategias emancipadoras, y contribuirán a un aumento de la guerra entre potencias. 
Apoyamos además la investigación inmediata y el enjuiciamiento de Assad y sus aliados por 
sus violaciones del derecho internacional y natural. Animamos a nuestros camaradas y 
lectores en todas partes a que se organicen a favor de los refugiados sirios y de la 
revolución amenazada, contra la intervención extranjera y el militarismo en Siria, así 
como contra el resurgimiento fascista de Assad.

International solidarity IN THOSE FIGHTING AGAINST THE REGIME OF EMERGENCY IN TURKEY ---- 
On January 22 the repressive forces of the Turkish state murdered after scuffle agonist 
Bilgehan Karpat, and arrested injured agonist Erkan (Serif Turunç), two days after the 
attacks made by the DHKC (Revolutionary Popular Front) at the Istanbul General Security 
and the ruling AKP main building. ---- This police operation is part of the overall 
repressive campaign of the Turkish state, which in recent years manifested in military 
operations in the Kurdish areas, mass persecution and murderous attacks on opposition 
movements and revolutionary organizations. A campaign peaked today, after the failed coup 
last July and the extension of emergency rule. The Erdogan regime, accusing his political 
opponents of trying to overthrow uses the attempted coup on the one hand for clearances in 
all state apparatuses (army, judiciary, public sector) and the other impose totalitarian 
war on enemy within, for the dissolution of class and social elements. At the same time it 
triggers the fans together with the gray wolves to attack the neighborhoods and places of 
leftist and anarchist activists and organizations.

In this direction, anarchists, communists, unionists, teachers, journalists, artists and 
those who deny in any way the omnipotence of the regime they face persecution, torture and 
imprisonment. Also, catalyzed elementary rights, prohibits gatherings and demonstrations, 
suspended newspapers, radios and television stations, censorship and access exclusion 
applies to the Internet, parties and organizations designated as terrorist groups, 
incursions made into fighters homes and made attacks on politicians and social spaces. 
Note that, in this climate anarchist Meydan newspaper is under sedation. On December 23, 
the editor and member of the DAF (Anarchist Revolutionary Action) Husein Civan sentenced 
to one year and three months for "propaganda of terrorism" while the prisoner Umut Firat 
Suvariogullari, also author of Meydan and member of the DAF, held the previous period on 
hunger strike for more than 50 days to denounce the inhuman conditions of detention of 
political prisoners imposed by the state of emergency.

The form of state aggression in Turkey is shaped so based on the country's position in the 
arena of geopolitical alliances and rivalries as well as its long-term orientation of 
state and paramilitary terror against revolutionary movements and racing inside.

The iron control and suppression grid that spreads in every field of social life in the 
interior is complemented by its policy in the greater Middle East region which, according 
to the chauvinism of the Turkish state, includes extermination companies Kurdish 
communities, military operations of the Turkish army in northern Syria and elsewhere, 
haphazard cooperation within NATO and the European Union, but even with the ISIS itself.

H EU-Turkey agreement on refugees, which characterizes Turkey as a safe place at the same 
time imprisons thousands of refugees in camps in southeast and west borders and unfolds 
planning to establish an absolutely totalitarian system internally, is declarative for 
what is in store for us the states and the bosses in the coming period, especially at a 
time of sharpening endokyriarchikon rivalries in the region, but also globally.

Internationalist solidarity to those fighting in Turkey against state totalitarianism, the 
killings, persecution and imprisonment of militants, keeping alive the vision of a world 
of equality, solidarity and freedom.

Against state and capitalist barbarism and the modern totalitarianism, only hope of the 
oppressed is to connect them so that coping with the joint attack they receive. Only 
through the flame of the games and international resistances it is possible to vindicate 
the real social needs of a free and just society. From neighboring Turkey and 
revolutionary Rozava, the slums of France, to the struggles in Mexico, the resistance of 
the indigenous people in North America and the massive protests against the regime in the 
United States, no one is oppressed not only as there is struggle for freedom.

To take life in our hand, to build a new emancipated society based on dignity, justice, 
freedom and solidarity on the ruins of the power world of the state and capital, making 
reality generalized social self-management.

International Women's Day means national Women's Strike! ---- Soon it will be March 8, and 
like women in many other countries, we too will go on strike! A notice of industrial 
conflict has been filed by the SAC, specifying a 24-hour political strike covering all 
women working in the Swedish private sector. The reason for this political strike is 
simply that enough is enough! We are saying no the undervaluation of women in the labor 
market; no to the reactionary forces that are threatening our rights; no to domestic as 
well as structural violence against women! On March 8, we are reclaiming the International 
Women's Day to the labor movement -never a day for "showing a little extra appreciation", 
always a day to celebrate our struggle to get the same rights already taken for granted by 
men.

The SAC has serving a confederal notice of a 24 hour political strike, on March 8 2017, 
from 00:00-24:00, covering all women employed in the private sector - meaning public 
servants are lamentably exempted (the reasons for this are laid out under the "Political 
Strike" heading). Remember, if your co-workers are striking but you are unable to 
participate, you have the absolute right to remain neutral - no one can force you to take 
care of leftover work caused by a strike. Read the headings of "Obligation of Industrial 
Peace" and "Neutrality" to learn more about your options for maintaining neutrality.

The decision to serve industrial strike notices on the national level was taken by the 
members of the SAC on its 2015 congress. The primary purpose of the strike notice draw 
attention to an important issue - we are raising our voices, creating debate, and doing 
some necessary stirring of the pots. Secondly, serving a national strike notice also means 
that even those who haven't had much experience going into industrial action will be able 
to feel more confident in doing so.

As branch autonomy and membership democracy are central to the SAC, it is hard to arrive 
at any sort of estimation of how disruptive the strike will end up being - the decision to 
take action is left to every local federation (LS), syndicate, workplace section, and, of 
course,  every individual member too. This is not disadvantageous, however, because no 
matter what the outcome, we will have shown that International Women's Day is not just any 
other day, and we will bring out experiences with us into future struggles.

Complementary Activism

If you are not allowed to participate or prefer other expressions of resistance, there are 
naturally lots of different things to do to support the strike. These are just a few examples:

*     Make sure there are informational leaflets or fliers in your workplace
*    Wear a badge or clothes with designs supporting the strike
*    Share syndicalist posts with your social media networks
*    Hand out leaflets and put up stickers
*    Organize a syndicalist workshop or talk on the subject of feminism in the workplace
*    Organize a protest meeting or demonstration
*    Support the local women's shelter by organizing a petition or solidarity party
*    Send letters to the editor to your local newspapers

About Political Strikes in Sweden

When workers go on strike on issues that are not specifically workplace-related, these are 
considered as political strikes. In other words, these are strikes that aren't presenting 
the employer at a workplace with a set of specific demands for them to meet, but to 
protest, for instance, a political decision in your or some other country. The political 
strike is a controlled burst of working class power, with the downing of tools often 
combined with demonstrations and other forms of protest.

However, not everyone is allowed to participate in political strikes. The Public 
Employment Act contains stipulations banning such strikes for employees of the Swedish 
Parliament and its authorities, Governmental authorities, public insurance agencies, 
municipalities, county councils, and municipal associations. (That is, these workers will 
only be able to participate in the Women's strike if they connect the industrial action to 
practical workplace issues when serving their strike notice.) Aside from these, Swedish 
law does not stipulate any further limitations on the right to participate in political 
strikes.

Remember that you have the absolute right to "remain neutral" if you fellow workers go on 
strike - this means that the law is on your side when you refuse to carry out the tasks 
that your co-workers would have carried out if they weren't on strike. It is extremely 
important to show solidarity with striking co-workers, and it is our duty as syndicalists 
to make sure our workmates have understood that they cannot be forced to do something they 
don't want to do here.

Obligation of Industrial Peace

If you are a member of a labor union that has signed a collective bargaining agreement 
(CBA), you are automatically bound by an obligation to maintain industrial peace. In other 
words, if you go on strike - or participate in any other industrial actions, such as bans 
on working overtime - you are also in breach of the Co-determination Act (MBL) and 
therefore liable for damages. These type of strikes are also known as "wildcat strikes". 
Since very few of the local federations, syndicates and sections that belong to the SAC 
have signed CBAs, this means that we strike legally, and are also covered by legal 
protections against bosses threatening to penalize employees organized in the SAC.

Moreover, while participants in wildcats are liable for damages, retaliatory firings and 
similar actions are not allowed. It is important to realize that if your boss threatens 
you with writing reports, warning notices, or giving you the sack, he or she is engaging 
in illegal harassment.

Neutrality

Scabbing is one of the most disgusting activities known to man. Unfortunately, there's 
nothing in the law against strikebreakers - but on the other hand, there are no laws 
forcing you to become one either! Even if you are unable to participate in a strike or 
blockades, you still have the right to enter the conflict as a neutral party. This 
absolute right to neutrality is upheld by the state through the Employment Ordinance, 
which also extends to workers in the private sector (see §14).

Thus, even workers bound by the obligation to maintain industrial peace can show their 
support by remaining neutral. As such, you are entitled to refuse all work that would have 
been carried out by strikers, and may continue going about your usual tasks. Of course, 
not everyone will have the same idea about what tasks belong to the category of "ordinary 
work" and "infected work" - that is, work you are under no obligation to carry out. If 
your employer refuses to come to an agreement with you, never carry it any work without 
first having requested a written order work order, which your boss then has to provide you 
with. If your boss refuses to do this, then his or her interpretation of the situation 
will carry little weight later.

Overtime

During strikes overtime order are not unusual. However, if you work overtime in a strike 
situation, you will in fact be taking part in the boss's efforts to sabotage the union by 
undermining the strike. In this context there is only one thing to do, and that is 
refusing to work overtime. If your employer refuses to back down in this context, you have 
the right to demand a written work order, exactly specifying the exactly the amount of 
hours and tasks. Should the boss refuse to do this, there is no credibility to his or her 
demands - as long as there is no written work order there is no way for you to make sure 
that you will actually get paid for your work, and consequently not under any obligation 
to carry out any work.

America is in the middle of the crisis. Elected as the less popular president in history, 
Donald Trump has taken the reins and intends to force his agenda over the world by brute 
force. Beside him, white supremacists are taking to the streets, convinced that their time 
has come. Millions that already had the Democratic Party are losing faith in the entire 
political system. Will anything be done to stop the rise of tyranny? ---- This is the 
context in which the anarchists are once again returning to the stage of history and to 
the front page of the New York Times. Neither voting nor passive protest has worked, and 
popular imagination is shifting to open confrontation. Even Trump is tweeting claims about 
"professional anarchists, thugs and protestant payers". Imagine that billionaire who hired 
actors to launch his campaign, accusing working class protesters of being mercenaries.

The grassroots resistance that has shaken the US since the election of Trump is not the 
work of paid or professional Protestants - nor, by extension, George Soros, the so-called 
"puppet master" of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories to which Trump is Reference. It did 
not come from the Democratic Party, the not-for-profit sector, or the various dissident 
socialist groups.

Resistance to Trump came from ordinary people acting on their own terms without waiting 
for leadership or instructions. It came from the same people who breathed tear gas into 
Ferguson as they faced a militarized police force to defend their neighborhood. It came 
from tens of thousands of people who survived the ice water cannons and rubber bullets in 
Standing Rock to block a wave that Trump is now trying to cross. She came from those who 
risked their lives to face KKK at Stone Mountain and neo-Nazis in Sacramento. It came from 
people who disrupted Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, which shut down airports Jan. 28 and 
29 to challenge Trump's Muslim ban, which closed Milo Yiannopoulos on Feb. 1.

All these efforts were organized horizontally according to broadly anti-capitalist and 
anti-authoritarian frameworks. They are not just some masked people: the spirit of the 
times is anarchist.

This resistance was growing long before Trump. The wave of momentum that has exploded in 
American consciousness in the last two months has its roots in many years of discontent. 
The object of this discontent is not just the Trump regime, but a social order that 
creates dramatic imbalances in power and access to resources as war, climate change, and 
ecological collapse precipitate. With the most authoritarian advocates of this order at 
the helm, only a comprehensive approach to social change has any chance of having any impact.

Anarchists are among the only ones who offer a clear view of another way of living. By 
organizing networks and community spaces around the world, we gather to help each other to 
meet basic needs and build collective self-defense capacity.

In neighborhoods, workplaces and schools, anarchists are struggling against petty 
bourgeoisie, police brutality and exploitation, creating alternative and alternative 
infrastructure for survival. Through the bioregions, we are organizing to protect the 
drinking water and land that we all depend on for life.

This view conflicts directly with Trump's  top-down  ( top-down ), exclusive, and 
authoritative agenda. It's the only real alternative: Obama's time in office has shown 
that attempts to improve the state have only left him stronger and more legitimate, so the 
next tyrant to take the helm has more power at his disposal. Many people are afraid that 
the regime will crack down on resistance, but Trump is determined to wipe out all of us, 
regardless. The more we unite, the more we engage the authorities, the faster and more 
courageously we act, the more secure we will be.

You and your friends already constitute an affinity group, the essential foundation of 
basic anarchist practice. Identify the goal you want to accomplish, build your skills, get 
in touch with other groups and take action. That could mean disrupting efforts to recruit 
white supremacists or blocking the infrastructure Trump relies on to implement his 
executive orders. It could mean uniting people in the defense of their homes, evicting or 
protecting their land from development. It could mean setting up rapid response networks 
to react to attacks or establishing a free clinic to provide health care for people who 
can not get it through institutions. We are counting on you to help us get out of this 
situation, to create the world of union and freedom that we all deserve.

Dozens of lycées have been mobilizing since the start of the school year to obtain a map 
of the lycées of priority education. Without a new announcement by then, the next strike 
will take place on January 3 and will be renewable. ---- In national education, priority 
education is the device that is supposed to give a little more to the students who need it 
most. This makes it possible to have smaller groups in the classes, specific devices but 
also for the personal bonuses and the possibility of accumulating more points for 
mutations over the years. "Supposed", because anyone visiting a Paris downtown college and 
then a REP + college (the highest level of priority education) will see that it is not 
always obvious that it is the latter Is best off in terms of means. ---- Since September, 
a mobilization is gaining momentum. Part of lycées du 92, it gathers several dozens of 
establishments all over France and especially the most concerned academies: Créteil, 
Versailles, Marseille, Toulouse ...

Gathered in the collective Touche pas à ma ZEP (TPAMZ) and organized in general 
assemblies, these lycées call for a new map of priority education.

Indeed, if schools and colleges saw a reform of primary education in 2014, there is no 
longer a map of secondary schools of priority education. There is therefore a jungle of 
acronyms attached to the institutions (Eclair, APV, Suburban Hope Plan, Clair, Ambition 
Success ...), inherited from successive reforms or related to the city's policy (such as 
"Prevention Violence" They therefore grant no additional means of staffing. In clear 
(without bad play of word), there are therefore no more ZEP secondary schools but only 
bits of knowledge saved locally without any readability.

Less inequalities after college?

Yet no one is fooled. Social inequalities, academic difficulties, allophone pupils, all 
this does not disappear after college. This is particularly true for high schools in 
vocational education given the current orientation system. The lycées grouped in the 
collective TPMZ and supported by most teacher unions are therefore determined to continue 
a mobilization that directly affects both the conditions of study of their students and 
the working conditions of the staff. There is also an issue to broaden this mobilization. 
South Education called schools and colleges to join her in the November 29 strike.

The Paris event hosted several. But to avoid shortness of breath it is necessary to 
continue the work of ant realized until then by the mobilization (tours, calls in the 
rooms of teachers, mails ...). The descent of DHGs and the presentation of the TRMDs 
(global hourly allocations and summary tables of the means by discipline, which determine 
the duplication, the number of pupils per class for the following school year) in the 
chests in January could constitute a point of support To develop and anchor this movement. 
Even in an election year it is not certain that an effort will be made so these 
institutions will be despised by a government that should give priority to education.

As of February 8th, refugees living in tents in the Torbali and Bayindir districts of 
Izmir are being evacuated in accordance with district governorate decisions and the 
intervention of the gendarmerie. The tent areas are being removed. Thousands of refugees,

survive as seasonal agricultural workers and living in the tent camps, constructed with 
their own effort, in rural areas of Izmir. Since Wednesday, many tent areas have been 
removed by gendarmerie without reason. ---- Today, throughout the world, borders enclose 
the world to people as the most prevalent and permanent signs of racism and exploitation.

Governments and capitalists, in cooperation, have been pursuing to make exploitation the 
dominant culture. In this way, the borders that they are trying to impose us do not let 
the people, who have been running away from wars and poverty, also in the places where 
they have temporarily settled. According to the UNHCR's reports, in the last year, there 
are over 65 millions of displaces people around the world (the equivalent of one in every 
113). However, the structural violence created by capitalism and techno-industrial system 
continues to debar or threaten every living creature from essential necessities such as 
food, security, accommodation, health services, education.

We can only fight against the system that threatens, exploits, and suppresses the life on 
the plant through solidarity! There are struggle and solidarity beyond the borders, walls, 
and fences!

Subversion seems to be the quality sine qua non to present itself to the presidency of the 
Republic. One of those who boast of being "antisystem" is of course Marine Le Pen. In this 
context, she uses feminist discourse from an opportunistic and electoralist perspective. 
---- Various personalities or groups of far right are inspired at this time by feminism 
and affirm that the answer to the inferiorization of the women is in the defense of a 
traditional femininity. Marine Le Pen, unlike Antigones, for example, does not claim a 
"sensitivity" specific women but rather states that "it is not a species to protect! We 
(women) are not poor things!" [1]. ---- Recently, Marine Le Pen and his entourage were 
displayed against the positions of Marion Maréchal-Le Pen who wants to "return to full and 
unlimited reimbursement of abortion." This position is politically expedient and not 
feminist. It is indeed permissible to doubt the anti-patriarchal commitment of the one who 
until then had always vigorously criticized the right to abortion.

Women's rights as a strategy for

Certainly, sometimes Marine Le Pen defends the rights of women with a rhetorical emphasis 
in the stands of big daily newspapers, but only if it allows him to broadcast a racist 
speech. After the sexual assault and rape that occurred during the night of Christmas Eve 
in Cologne last year, she said: "What barbarism can be exercised again against women, due 
to political Migratory fills me with fright. "

On the other hand, when the barbarism is accomplished by white men, French and patrons, 
Marine Le Pen and the FN supports it. Thus, Frontist senators tabled an amendment to the 
Labor Act aimed at abolishing Article 1-bis on sexual harassment. According to them, 
"allowing victims of gender harassment to present only the facts of facts suggesting the 
existence of harassment, Article 1a opens the door to serious abuses and promotes negative 
attitudes procedural relations between employer And employed ". The fear of the party 
leader fades easily when gender-based violence is committed by employers. Marine Le Pen 
does nothing but defend his own class interests here.

It is, indeed, the bourgeois and patriarchal order, established for centuries, that it 
defends. Marine Le Pen and her party praise the "traditional" family and castigate the 
right of women to dispose of their bodies and homosexuality. Criticism of the system and 
the struggle to destroy it require courage, tenacity, materialist analysis and the 
elaboration of a collective and emancipatory political project. Marine Le Pen has only one 
objective: power. It instrumentalises feminism for a purely personal and electoralist 
purpose. The FN, by its very nature as a party of extreme right, defends the reaction, the 
tradition and therefore those who already possess, those who are already powerful, those 
who are perfectly integrated into the system.

STATE AND CHAPTER breeds fascism ---- "... In constant international instability and 
turmoil systemic policies stable, born the great potential of its revolutionary 
emancipation. Opposite already formed the counterrevolutionary extreme right and fascist 
facet of modern totalitarianism to get as ultimate barrier to the development of social 
history, which goes through the ceaseless struggle for freedom and equality. War and 
fascism, this is the "response" of the system in a comprehensive and deep crisis in its 
own contradictions, who causes the incurable conflict imposed by the basic principle, the 
exploitation and oppression of man by man. " ----  (excerpt from the Declaration of the 2 
nd  of APO) Conference ---- The organized presence of anarchist anti-fascist movement in 
the trial of the Golden Dawn, the days-trial for the attack from assault battalion of ASE 
in June 2008, is another point of the struggle against the fascist assault battalions and 
their state patrons.

We do not have any kind of illusions that fascism can be fought in courtrooms. Fascism can 
be defeated on the road from the world of the game and understand the presence of the 
movement in this trial as yet another barrier against the fascists and the State attempts 
to flush them and disorient the society of the inextricable relationship with them.

Against modern totalitarianism, war and fascism is necessary on our part our organization

for society to respect the principles of equality, freedom, solidarity.
