Nationalist and neo-fascist organizations always try to pass for the organization of a
political nature. This is true even if the whole spectrum of their activities comes down
to actions purely militant (eg. Beating and intimidation of their opponents), and
propaganda whose aim is only stoking hatred of a particular social group (formerly the
Jews, today people with a different orientation sexual or refugees). ---- All-Polish Youth
(MW) absolutely does not deviate from the above scheme. Gentlemen MW - although dressed in
suits, not brown uniforms as their ideological colleagues from the National Radical Camp -
they decided to play the role of "normal" politicians allegedly concerned for the welfare
of the homeland. However, if the good of the homeland will also mean protection of its
income, it szermujacy the slogan "Death to the enemies of the homeland" must first become
interested in their own leader, or Adam Andruszkiewicz. As reported by the press, the
Member elected to parliament from a list of formations kukiz'15 'fetch cash from
Parliament nearly 40 thousand for the so-called. "Kilometrówke" within commuting to the
capital. MP has neither a driving license nor a car, and commute by train to the Sejm.
This is not the first and the last politician who uses his position to draw cash from
taxpayers. What therefore declared by his party antysystemowoscia and radicalism against
enemies of the homeland?
Few of his leadership different local representatives MW. After the attacks on
lo-bookstores Revenge (16 March.), Leader of All-Poznan, Ziemowit Przebitkowski, and did
his troil to attack not associated with the rally organized on the same day by MW. For
some time MW generally tries to put the image activities - and this is manifesting
interest in the maintenance of order on the Warta River, and is organizing a pilgrimage,
even though the conservative hierarchy of the Catholic Church clearly condemns nationalist
ideology. However, just a little bit of attention to clearly note that these treatments
are only a smokescreen, and the actual operation of nationalists, is basically a strictly
business bojówkarska extended to treatments aimed at building an atmosphere of hatred to
selected individuals or groups.
Eighth day of April in Poznan, anti-nationalist demonstration was held, which was attacked
by several supporters Youth Wszcechpolskiej. The perpetrators of this attack, taking place
in a flash media flashes, they were very quickly stopped. Numerous photos and videos of
the event also allowed us to accurately identify the attackers.
In previously published on Rozbrat summary of the demonstration was announced the name of
the initiator of the attack, Remigiusz Stalewskiego - the owner of a clothing store
"patriotic" located at ul. Mill 7 in Poznan. On Stalewskiego also published a separate
article ( 1 , 2 ). A few days ago published the leak Stalewskiego text messages containing
min. strict correspondence with Ziemowit Przebitkowskim, head of Poznan Polish Youth on
the shares of these organizations, information from colleagues about cars, which move
social activists on the occasion, for example. marches, or contracts for baseball bats and

After the media "hail", which fell on Remigiusz person, he deleted the profile

Resisted racism and nationalism. In places of residence, work, colleges and schools.
Should publish and exposes the manipulation mechanisms which allowed the neo-Nazi right
now hiding behind their government representatives in suits of Rural. Let people see the
resistance is possible and is part of the freedom struggle, rather than passive
consumption. We are witnessing when Orwell's words - "War is peace. Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength." They are becoming a reality.
In an article about Poznan nationalists made a mistake. After verification, we would like
to apologize to the owner of the bar staff and Kraszkebab and correct information about
the alleged employment there, one of the attackers. Thank you for pointing out and once
again apologize. False information removed.

The following has been written by a collective of women activists in Ireland in response
to the Irish Times' latest article on Identity Politics: ---- Cop on Comrades ---- We are
a group of activist women from a wide variety of backgrounds, races, ethnicities, and
sexual orientations. Last week, a good number of the left-wing men we work and organise
with seriously disappointed us. These men - our friends, our fellow trade unionists,
activists, writers, organisers, and artists - shared and commented on a reductive and
damaging article written by Frankie Gaffney, which was published in the Irish Times. ----
We live in a world where our advantages are tangled up with the things that disadvantage
us - some of us are working class, some queer, some of us are poor, some of us come from
minority ethnic groups or have disabilities or don't enjoy the security of citizenship. As
well, some of us have had a multitude of opportunities in our lives while some of us have
had to fight our way through. It is an obligation on all of us to honestly look at our
different positions within the structures of oppression and privilege under patriarchal
racial capitalism. It is only by acknowledging all these differences that we have any
chance of imagining and building a better world that includes us all.
Working-class ‘straight white men' in Ireland don't have it easy these days. They never
did. They are ignored by a political class that couldn't care less about them. They should
have a say in the decisions that affect their lives, but they often don't.
However, that doesn't make them immune to critique. We all have to examine ourselves as
oppressor as well as oppressed - because we are all both. The response to the article felt
like a silencing to us and we are writing this because we are way past putting up with
that. You will see from the names on this letter that we are women who have been in the
thick of things. Whether in political parties and organisations, education, trade unions,
or grassroots and community-based movements, we are tired of being accused of ‘bourgeois
feminism' and of betraying the struggle when we raise our voices. No campaign in this
country could survive without women, without us - our work and energy and knowledge and
organising have been instrumental in all the progressive movements in this country. When
we say we need to be recognised and respected within our movements, we need you to listen.
The article expressed the view that identity politics is good for nothing except dividing
movements, using language and narratives that have been made popular by MRA (Men's Rights
Activist) groups and the alt-right. According to such narratives, straight white men are
the new most oppressed group. This ignores the struggles of women and others at the sharp
end of misogyny, racism, anti-trans and anti-queer violence. It aims to silence those who
will no longer tolerate the violence, abuse and marginalisation we have suffered for so
long. These alt-right arguments have been used by people on the left to support the view
that women, and feminists in particular, are to blame for the rise of the far right - for
instance, for Trump's election - and for neoliberal capitalism, which is seen as having
damaged working class men in particular.
In this version of events, straight white men are made to feel uncomfortable about being
‘born this way' by social media-fuelled ‘political correctness'. They are too afraid to
say what they think or express opinions for fear of online retribution. Men who claim to
be silenced in this way might try a week or even a day as a vocal woman or person of
colour online and see how they deal with the rape threats and threats of racist violence
that follow.
We are not concerned here about one opinion piece by one person. Rather we have all been
aware of the increasing trend towards this particular new type of silencing of women from
our supposed fellow activists on the left. The arguments mounted here and elsewhere are
apparently to criticise some of the worst aspects of ‘call-out culture', as well as the
lean-in type of so-called feminism that disregards class and race. Yet they seem to be
used now by some of our left-wing activist comrades as an excuse not to deal with the
complexities of gender, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation in our political
organising. These excuses, when accepted, prevent us from seeing clearly the state of our
movements - who is taking part in them, who is heard and represented, who is doing the
work. These are massive issues that have to do with how we are creating mass movements,
which need to be addressed and faced to ensure that people of different classes, races,
ethnicities, sexual orientation and gender have not just a voice but leading roles in our
struggle. Without this solidarity in working together, we are simply imitating the
oppressive structures we want to fight - the structures that say "not now, your life comes
second." It is not the straight white men who are being silenced when this argument is made.
We are working-class women, women of colour, migrant women, trans women, Traveller women,
disabled women, queer women, women who are sex workers, women with children, and women who
are none of these, active in our communities and committed to an anti-capitalist struggle.
We are well aware that a right-wing, neoliberal distortion of feminism and what is called
‘identity politics' exists. We know this because it erases our experiences and struggles
and we resist this erasure through our work as activists every single day. It is
distressing and enraging that we also have to fight against the bad faith of fellow
activists on the left - mostly men, sometimes women - who, for their own reasons, blur the
distinction between this kind of middle-class neoliberal faux-feminism, and a truly
radical feminist politics that has class struggle at its very core. This hurts us because
it erases and undermines our realities, our suffering, our analyses, and our organising,
and gives more strength to the powers that are ranged against us. For many of us, it is
heart-breaking to look at some of the men around us and realise that they are nodding in
agreement with this erasure of their working class women friends and comrades.
Most of us have grown up learning to appease men. How to give them our space, how to deal
with the fact that they dominate any political discussions, that they are paid more, heard
more and believed more. However, most of us expect that the men we work with in all the
social justice movements we are part of should have at least considered how they are
complicit in this domination when they refuse to recognise that it exists. Patriarchy
forces men into roles that damage them as well as us. Most of us have men that we love,
admire and respect in our lives and for that reason, not only because it damages and
diminishes the life experiences of women, we should all be fighting patriarchy together.

A place for experimenting self-management and direct democracy, it is the project that
activists Fougeres (Ille-et-Vilaine) aim to achieve from 1 st May Back on an experience
to greet. ---- Since February, activists, activists, inhabitants of Fougeres,
sub-prefecture of the north of Ille-et-Vilaine, in Brittany, rent a room in order to make
it a place that will allow to experiment Self-management and direct democracy. ---- This
place is political, its objective is to propose a space of encounter, construction of
struggles, sharing of knowledge and skills. Activities will be organized according to the
wishes of each of them: bookshop, library, parents café, signed café, furniture
construction, public meetings, screenings, canteens, public writer, French, Arabic and
Russian courses, Permanence of trade unions and political organizations ...
We also want to build a non-commercial space by offering, as much as possible, free or
free-price activities. A free zone, in particular, should be set up.
Building and developing such a place also aims to democratize some of our principles and
practices.
Open to all, the local has adopted a charter whose objective is to lay down the great
principles among which, among others, antipatriacat, antiracism and anti-fascism. A rules
of procedure stipulate the mode of operation in order to guarantee the self-management of
the place.
Since the announcement of the opening of this premises, people regularly contacted the
members of the place to propose activities, including exchanges of knowledge.
Do not lock yourself
The premises are located in the center of Fougères. The construction of large areas of
activity on the outskirts of the city has resulted in the gradual closure of many
businesses. This situation has led to the emergence of various alternative projects over
the last few months, such as a bookstore and a restaurant and a grocery store based on
local producers, for example.
We do not want to lock ourselves in the city center, which is why we want to set up "
ephemeral social centers ", in short time and outside, in other parts of the city. They
can take the form of meeting spaces and political exchanges or free zones.
Members of the local wish an opening for the 1 st May If the progress of the works does
not allow it will take place on the 8th. To have this information you can consult our
facebook page. You can also financially support: Lepotcommun.fr/pot/yndpyvau.
If you live nearby you can also come during the time of works and activities by contacting
us: csaf@laposte.net.

At the end of May. Poznan city launched a program under which ultimately intends to
allocate more than 50 so-called. training flats. WSL calls these premises "social
apartments shared with support." We do not believe that social housing tenants in most
cases need special treatment. The fact that the plight of most social housing and not the
result of their individual characteristics or psychological maladjustment, but the
systemic exclusion and inability to protect their rights. ---- A manifestation of
exclusion is the fact that tenants who had to be strictly a social flat (eg. By a judgment
of the court), had to wait a few or even a dozen years of his assignment. Excluding also
meant growing debt rent entire groups of residents and the increasing number of violent
eviction "on the pavement" or "cleaning houses", which were witnessed in recent years.
Therefore, putting 50 apartments on the needs of the most needy citizens and residents, we
consider significant progress in changing the priorities of the Poznan housing and social
policy, the existing beneficiaries were mainly developers, landlords and politicians the
likes of Filipa Kaczmarka. Finally, another public housing have not been appropriated by
speculators, but were in the hands of women with children from shelters for the homeless,
the seniors' houses cleaned, "sick of struggling victims of illegal evictions. Therefore
WSL directly included in colonization "common housing support" and signed an agreement in
this regard with the city. We will also monitor the progress of the program and take care
to have grown in the poorest citizens of our city.
The acquisition of the 50 most in need of housing is another fulfillment of our demands
next run the program to build public housing, the liquidation of the estate of a
container, to stop downloading through the ci
