"Anti-fascism will only triumph if it stops dragging the trail of bourgeois democracy. 
Challenge us the "Anti" formulas. They are always insufficient because they are purely 
negative. A principle can be conquered only by opposing it to another principle, a higher 
principle (GUÉRIN, Daniel, 1945). ---- In a written report for the London-based Chatham 
House, Mathew Goodwin identifies six possible ways to react to right-wing or fascist 
parties and populist groups: to exclude them, to defuse their message, to adopt to some 
extent their rhetoric and politics; Confront with principles, turn more to grassroots 
people and do outreach work, and encourage dialogue among different groups at an 
intercultural level (1). ---- The Role of the Media ---- Journalists are always looking 
for something out of the ordinary. The emergence of groups such as the Pack, the soldiers 
of Odin, Storm Alliance or Atalante Québec, to name but a few, represents a boon for them 
and them. In a context where the traditional media are fighting fiercely for exclusivity 
and to capture the largest share of advertising revenues, it is not to be expected that 
media coverage will be anything other than sensational. For these groups, the latter is 
free advertising that allows them to grow and gain credibility. It is therefore essential 
to oppose the extreme right with an inclusive discourse and not to give them the street. 
Thus, journalists will have to cover both views.

Popular, but not populist

Many reasons lead to an ever-increasing number of people losing out of politics, be it the 
waltz of the corrupt or the indifferentiation of political parties to the government. It 
is imperative to revive hope in a better future by proposing something other than the 
order of privilege and exploitation imposed on us by the state and capitalism. We need to 
recreate a "collective will," as Gramsci put it, by empowering individuals, groups and 
communities to the detriment of capital and the ruling classes. In order for the laboring 
and popular classes to begin to win again, we must first of all believe on our own and 
believe that struggle is not only possible, but necessary.

To counter the rise of populism and intolerance, the social left must attack the extreme 
right-wing Achilles heels. The extreme-right speech is based on emotions and resentment. 
It has no positive alternative to propose in relation to unemployment, underemployment, 
the precariousness engendered by the capitalist economy. While the extreme right may 
whisper in the ear of a worker (white and male) who has lost his job that he has been 
"stolen" by an immigrant, he 'Has nothing to offer on how he could get another job, still 
less how he could pay his expenses and put some bread on the table. On another occasion, 
she will describe people of immigrant background as "profiteers and profiteers" Or "loose 
and lazy parasites". So thieves and thieves job or lazy? You'd have to plug in. As we can 
see the discourse of the extreme right does not always consist in coherence. Therefore, in 
order to counter the division of the people between "them" and "us" that is trying to 
impose the extreme right, the left must rebuild a class united around progressive values 
and resolutely against racist oligarchy and demagogues. To xenophobia, we must oppose 
international solidarity, sexism feminism, ecological irresponsibility awareness of the 
climatic emergency, authoritarianism and the cult of the leader forms of libertarian 
organization.

To defeat the populist right and the neo-fascist groups, it is more necessary to oppose 
them with left-wing populist leaders or adopt some of their rhetoric. For if the left 
constructs the political alternative to a Bernie Sender (USA), a Jean-Luc Melanchon 
(France) or a Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois (Quebec), it will necessarily relegate popular 
education and Self-organization in the background. By wanting to put individuals in a 
political party and to channel their legitimate anger into the ballot box, we can only 
borrow paths that are already known, doomed to failure, notably due to the influence of 
finance and the ecological crisis. Unfortunately, this impasse will help pave the way to 
despotism and oligargues, as well as to the sense of helplessness of the oppressed social 
groups.

Interesting and finding solutions to everyday problems

We see in the anarchist collective Emma Goldman the libertarian social actions as acts of 
propaganda by the fact, intended to raise awareness among the "Have-not" of this world 
(young people without future, women, LGBTQ people, people Unemployed, long-term 
unemployed, employed, retired, student movements). It is a matter of animating the desire 
to take action; They can self-organize and form a common front against the discrimination 
of governments and the arrogance of capitalists. In the Saguenay region, the organization 
of events of this nature, see self-managed kettles (free food distribution), free markets, 
the free social space and many others,

In our opinion, what is essential is to build, without waiting for permission from the 
"authorities", a world of cooperation and mutual aid. To organize ourselves where we are: 
our places of life, work and study, and to forge links between different groups in 
society. Moreover, it is imperative that this work be carried out in parallel with the 
development of links with groups affected by inequalities.

People's Self-Defense

Unfortunately, in the face of hatred, intolerance and real threats to the physical 
integrity of individuals from minority groups, it is not always possible to discuss with 
those who have come close to the extreme right-wing groups. Like many living organisms, 
including roses and their thorns, we must develop our own system of self-defense - not to 
attack but to defend life ... As we seek societal change and liberation, we oppose 
Radically safe to the institutions on which rest more than 400 years of colonialist, 
capitalist and patriarchal domination. Since the police are clearly positioned on the side 
of our exploiters and oppressors, we can only rely on our own means to ensure our security.

In short, we consider that it is urgent to value an alternative and egalitarian society 
project through libertarian social actions having a real impact on people's lives to 
effectively fight fascism at its root. Let us not forget that the fascist groups represent 
a peak of intensity in the racist continuum of the Quebec-Canadian fabric. To fight, we 
must build our networks of solidarity with the main groups affected. We do not wait for 
the approval of the political elites or the adoption of new bills. This new world that we 
hope for, we want to build it on our own, in an anti-authoritarian way and through direct 
democracy. We want equality and freedom, But we do not underestimate the violent and 
hateful threat posed by the extreme right-wing groups. We advocate for this purpose the 
popular self-defense.

"It is not a crumb of bread, it is the harvest of the whole world that it is necessary for 
the human race, without exploiter and without exploited". - Louise Michel

In this post we publish a text of the Assembly of anarchists for social and class 
emancipation on the continuing attempts of the economic and social elites to eliminate the 
festive character of Sunday. --- No Sunday with shops open. Social and class counterattack 
against the State and the Capital ---- Within the framework of capitalist restructuring, 
the offensive of the State and Capital is intensifying. Political leaders continue their 
offensive against society without stopping, demonstrating the continuity of the State, not 
only supporting and materializing the measures within the framework of the memoranda 
imposed by its predecessors, but imposing a fourth memorandum and intensifying the 
indigence and the impoverishment of the exploited and the Oppressed, constantly lowering 
wages and pensions, imposing precariousness, unemployment and privatization of public 
wealth and natural resources.

After several attempts to legislate the abolition of Sunday as a holiday, that is, 
abolishing a labor right won with hard fights, recently voted the law that provides for 
the opening of stores every Sunday from May to October, that is, 32 Sundays a year . The 
opening of stores on Sundays has been legalized in the name of the coveted development, 
the heating of the national economy and the creation of new jobs, but it is nothing more 
than the continued deterioration of the conditions of exploitation. It adds to the violent 
change in working conditions, including paid work, flexible working hours, individual work 
contracts, retraining of the unemployed through so-called social work programs, work 
without social insurance, etc. This change leads to the continued devaluation of the labor 
force, always benefiting Capital. It is integrated in the attempt to impose (consolidate) 
a more flexible labor model, in which workers will have to be constantly willing, 
according to the needs of the bosses. In the same frame are integrated the so-called 
"White Nights", with the dependents being forced to work until one or two of the dawn.

The fight against the abolition of Sunday as a holiday is yet another field of struggle in 
which we are claiming and we are fighting for our needs. By practicing class solidarity 
and self-organization, we resist yet another measure that intends to subject us, and we 
oppose any attempt at degradation of our lives. The defense of the festive character of 
Sundays, the struggle against housing auctions, the struggle for free access to mass 
media, solidarity with refugees and immigrants, the struggle to defend squatters, as well 
as any Mounted barricades against capitalist barbarism, are paths that lead to social 
liberation, to a society in which those under the world can determine their lives. They 
are also part of a broader struggle for a world of equality,

Thursday,  July 13, 2017: Labor demonstration for the defense of Sunday as a public 
holiday, at 18:00, Jafteia (corner of the streets Stadiou and Eolou).

Sunday,  July 16, 2017: Strike in the commerce and concentration sector, Ermú street, at

NOTICE ON MOBILIZATIONS AGAINST THE SUMMIT OF  G 20 IN HAMBURG ---- The G20 summit in 
Germany and the city of Hamburg became a world event for resistances from below, thanks to 
the militant presence of thousands of demonstrators in the streets. The choice of 
organizing this meeting in a big city in Germany from the beginning was a showdown effort 
on the part of the ruling. Consistent with German Chancellor:  'We can not say that there 
are some places we can not do that' . Those responsible for the misery and oppression of 
billions of people gathered next to an area with historical racing symbolism and close to 
capture Rote Flora, both to ratify and apergastoun deepening their attack and partly to 
notes that they have won the war against the plebs. The point of the meeting and the 
desire for a presence in undisturbed as possible there sought to present resistance as a 
marginal and no central political importance of the case.

      They dashed miserably, as the main political event of the day was not meetings and 
luxurious dinners global political elite, in the custody of a repressive army of 20,000 
cops. Were the battles and barricades, protests and conflicts, which have shown that the 
state and capitalist dictatorship reigns but does not govern. Which showed that the 
requirements of global sovereign imposed due to their ability to exercise violence through 
their armies. The shooting in the air, the savage attacks on the resistance block, arrests 
and injuries us enrage, but also constitute a major political defeat for world domination, 
and cracked the false image of consensus on their checks and ridiculed their democratic masks.

      The story continues to be written in the streets and the modern totalitarian 
enforcement effort impinges on existent social and class forces that are the real feeder 
competitions. Poverty, misery and fear imposed by the tiny minority of politically and 
economically dominant. The G20 represent this condition, this imposing, and conflicts in 
Hamburg expressed the moods and anger far more than those who were in those days in the 
mobilization against the summit. Are many who suffocated in the state and capitalist 
regime and turn their gaze to the fight against the rulers. Together with them we want to 
be on the streets of resistance, reach out to them and to organize political, social and 
class. To prevent the grim prospect of generalized war authoritarian and build more and 
more communities struggle. To gain the battles in international meetings and local 
resistance to the prospect that their equivalent, that of the World Organization of down, 
which puts central political apart from the issue of resistance to state and capitalist 
dictatorship, destruction and the organization of world from below based on the principles 
of equality, freedom, mutual.

      In this way every step opens the possibility for the next. The battles of Prague and 
Genoa, the December '08, the riots in France and Ferguson, the barricades of Istampoul and 
paths of Chiapas, the Rotzava and NoDapl movement, strikes, fascist guard, the 
occupations, the raised fist. This is our big world and comes scan aging world power. Is 
the world's only real prospects for billions of poor, destitute and hunted for us all. 
Life of struggle for equality and freedom.

Sunday, July 16, was another Sunday when the stores were open. Based on the SYRIZA 
government's agreement with "institutions", workers will be forced to work 32 Sundays per 
year. ---- On Sunday, July 16, trade unions and political forces were once again on the 
road in order to break the opening of the shops. ---- In Athens, Coordinating Against 
Sunday Labor and Freelance Hours, framed by a union and political collectives, gave the 
dynamic presence, with blockades in the shopping center of the city, on Ermou Street, from 
9:00, before even opening the shops And at 16:30. ---- In Thessaloniki, the Coordination 
of Action Against Sunday Work and the Liberalized Hours, called for strike strikes on the 
most central shopping street of the city: Tsimiski. From 10:30 to 13:30, exclusions took 
place in a number of shops, such as marks and spencer, two zara shops, h & m, 
Stradivarius, pin up, 'Massimo dutti', 'Benetton', Ms.

In both cities, the Anarchist Federation and its member collectives supported and 
participated in the exclusions.

Both in Athens and Thessaloniki, the presence of the world in the blockades was quite 
good, and there was no hesitation with many consumers who definitely wanted to exercise 
their ... right to consume, regardless of the consistency of this measure in their lives 
Employees. Many shops rolled down because of the presence of protesters who were actually 
refusing to let them work.
The response of the workers was good, with the vast majority of them facing exclusions 
with clear relief.

The need to defend the Sunday holiday is a very important staple of our time.

The struggles of political and trade union forces have succeeded in hindering capitalist 
plans. No one has delusions that in the end either the right to a common holiday for 
everybody will be "universally" - as much as we have lost - or we will go to a Thatcher's 
jungle.

The struggles given by political and trade union forces must be supported by all and all. 
Within workplaces, outside of them, but also in every field of social life. Negotiating a 
joint holiday and consciousness of the consequences of abolishing it must lead us to fight 
for it in our workplaces, our societies, on the road.

It is a fight we can win. It is enough to give it as we can.
