"Who were they ?" Foreign volunteers ? The Syrians ? What had led them to enlist ?" ---- 
Alternative libertarian reproduces the blog posts Kurdistan-Autogestion-Revolution , a 
travel diary of a fellow committed to the YPG. ---- Over the course of the weeks, he will 
testify to the life of the fighting militias, the debates that take place there and the 
experience of democratic confederalism in the liberated zones. ---- Raqqa East Front, 16 
August 2017 ---- Continued from my previous post. ---- On the afternoon of the 27th of 
May, I went down from the roof on which I was on guard, with my eyes fixed on the town of 
Mansoura, and went towards the kitchen of the house where my stool had taken a position. 
---- The thirst burned my throat and I began to drink greedily at the tap (which is rarely 
a good idea for the Western stomach, so deprived of the powerful bacteria of the Middle 
East). It was not until I left the room that I realized that I was not alone in the 
kitchen: two people were lying in the back, feet and fists tied by ropes, bandage on the 
eyes .

A little shaken, I asked a comrade for explanations, in my worst Kurdish. But the answer 
was clear: two captured Daech soldiers. Who were they ? Foreign volunteers ? The Syrians ? 
What had led them to enlist ?

The questions were jostling in my head.

At the time of the meal, a young comrade detached them, and a lot of fantasies collapsed. 
In this case, it was only two teenagers, almost children ! The first had to be 12 or 13 
years old, and the second 14 or 15. The eyes were surrounded, terrorized. What kind of 
propaganda does the caliphate run on us ? We tried to reassure them by feeding them. 
Strange moment. They were only young villagers recruited by Daech to serve as militia in 
the face of the advance of our troops. I was fetching them water. The curiosity that had 
gripped me until then seemed to me suddenly obscene, when confronted with the most trivial 
reality of the war.

This first encounter, quite unexpected, was interrupted when another unit arrived. We gave 
them the place. Night fell, and our group was to go into operation the same evening.

We invite everyone who shares, experiences or would like to know more about anarchist 
ideas and practices to build the  8th Anarchist Book Fair of Porto Alegre,  which will 
take place on October  28 and 29, 2017. ---- Do you love freedom and want to get rid of 
the bonds of this system? Get Involved! Bring your newsstand, your publications and ideas, 
organize a talk wheel, a video exhibit a workshop or other activity! ---- The Book Fairs 
Anarchists take place around the world and are traditional meeting places, fraternization, 
reflection, debates and organization. They bring together people from diverse tendencies 
who seek anarchy and new ways of living and relating, free from oppression and 
hierarchies. The Anarchist Book Fair of Porto Alegre, along with that of São Paulo, is one 
of the oldest in the territories occupied by the Brazilian State and has taken place since 
2010. This is a movement that has expanded throughout the continent, from Santiago to 
Salvador, in the Bahia, from Montevideo to Curitiba, from Medellin to Belo Horizonte.

This society that values the incessant search for money and power is killing us. By 
literally and directly killing the marginalized population, with the genocides of the 
black people and the indigenous people by the police and the militias. Killing our hearts 
and dreams with the isolation and depression caused by a way of life that brings us no 
fulfillment as human beings.

It is not only killing us, but everything that is alive and the planet itself. We must 
stop the engines of domination and destruction of the Earth, coordinated by governments 
and power-hungry corporations. They want us to believe that this is the only and best way 
of life possible, putting an end to any dream or perspective of a better life.

The Anarchist Book Fair is a breach that opens at the heart of the system, screaming 
anarchy - giving breath to the values of mutual support, autonomy and solidarity. It is a 
space to expand these ideas and ideals, through meetings or publications, to find new 
strategies and tactics of confrontation, constructing real possibilities of transformation 
of the world in which we live. For anarchy exists only in practice. This practice unites 
us with the comrades and companions whom the State has abducted and kept in its captivity 
or who have fallen for daring to defy power.

To believe in anarchy is to believe in our ability to transform reality.

Join the Anarchist Book Fair of Porto Alegre! Bring your ideas, books, seeds to trade, 
arts, materials you produce. Register your bank or activity on our website or by e-mail 
flapoa@libertar.se .

Monday,  August 21 , starting at 11 am, in front of the Zócalo Government headquarters in 
Mexico City. ---- CCH Vallejo student Luis Fernando Bárcenas Castillo  was detained in 
December 2013 in the context of protests against the increase in the subway fare, after 
which he was sentenced to 6 years in prison, more than half of which has already been 
completed, which is why he initiated the proceedings To get early release because it meets 
all the requirements for this. ---- However, this benefit was denied to him, under false 
arguments of not fulfilling the requirements of release. An asset has already been 
submitted, awaiting resolution. ---- His mother, along with companions and companions, 
began collecting Internet and physical signatures to send a petition to the Mexico City 
government. And as this is the last legal recourse, they need help in publicizing the 
petition and the case, since the process is marked by irregularities.

 From the National Confederation of Labor, we show our most absolute sadness, indignation, 
confusion and pain following the attack on Thursday afternoon (17) in Barcelona. ---- Once 
again it was the people, the civilian population, the passers-by who suffered the 
consequences of wars that are not theirs. Once again the people feel the suffering and the 
dead again. ---- This time changed the location, changed the location. This time the heart 
of Barcelona was hit. But again, the goal was the same: unarmed and innocent civilians. 
---- Whether it is in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, London, Paris, Berlin, the 
Mediterranean or the fences of Melilla, once again we become scapegoats, collateral damage 
from a war between factions we do not know, that do not measure the means or Limits to 
reach their goals, who do not know the meaning of the word "love." Bandos for whom power 
is above people and life. Bandos that do not represent us.

We are sure that no vile and despicable act like this will be able to convert us into what 
we are not. They will not be able to play against our class brothers and sisters. Of 
course, this despicable act must serve to see us reflected in the other, to understand us 
and to reinforce our moral convictions of solidarity and mutual support between people and 
peoples.

Against those who preach intolerance, persecution of the different or religious, racial or 
class superiority, we stand as a brave, diverse and fierce people.

All our love for those who suffer.

Lxs invite you to participate in the presentation of the Feminist Anarchist Women's 
Compilation "With the word in hand". ---- "Because our voice has been invisible throughout 
the stories. Because our actions have not been included in the books, because many do not 
like to remember that we were there building spaces and possibilities, we have done so 
much or more. Because we do not need the partner on the side to do, or to say. And most 
importantly, because we need each other. Because many women made newspapers, founded 
Centers of political formation, they organized and participated of revolutions with 
everything against her. And it would seem that between them and us a gap had opened, It 
seems that we had learned to be silent, it seems that we did not have memory of it, it 
seems that we did not want to establish ties and to form networks. But, it just seems, 
because our lives remind us, day by day, that if we continue in silence we will continue 
to be the protagonist of a headline on rape, feminicide or disappearance. "

MAY ALL STALLE AND NOBODY STREET!

Join us on this cultural evening and learn more about the women who participated in this 
compilation, their contributions and reflections.

We will share poetry, songs, music & more

He supports this initiative and acquires the compilation since we will have a number of 
copies on sale for a contribution of S /. 15.00

The call is at 7:30 pm

In the heart of downtown, in Casa Fela

It is not mistakes of chavistas bureaucracy. It is the collapse of the Bolshevik economy. 
---- There is fact that the regime of chavistas destroyed the country's economy due to the 
Bolshevik policy. The economy was nationalised, the industry has become property of the 
state bureaucracy. The state began to control prices. These measures always lead to huge 
economic inefficiencies. ---- Bolshevik economy (USSR, Eastern Europe, China, Vietnam, 
North Korea) eventually collapsed and these countries began liberal economic reform. These 
reforms lead to an increase in social inequality and heavy for the population, but 
Bolshevism in the economy is not viable at all. ---- Bolshevism is a system based on state 
control of the economy, production and distribution. The government of Maduro and Chavez 
has nationalized key sectors of the economy (oil production, as well as a number of other 
big companies). In addition, the government established price controls on goods and their 
distribution. In agriculture was established hundreds of state's companies. All this has 
led to the collapse of the economy.

In the early 20th century russian anarcho-communist Mendel Dynov showed that 
nationalization leads to the destruction of the economy. Enterprises of the state sector 
is almost always unprofitable. Unlike cooperatives or private enterprises, they receive 
wide support from the state, at taxpayers ‘ expense. So they have no motivation to 
efficient production and the quality of their work is typically worse. This is a classic 
case for Venezuela. So the production of key products, crude oil, decreased by 30% after 
nationalization according to data published by Russian economist Milov. And according to 
the opposition, 300 of the agricultural state farms of Venezuela produce about 0 products. 
All this stuff is typical of the Bolshevik economy, based on a total or near total, 
control of the state.

In the political field Bolshevism means repressive dictatorship of one party of 
socialists-statists, mass repression against critics of the regime. This is exactly what 
is happening in Venezuela. United socialist party of Maduro took power. It is trying to 
remove from power the Parliament, which is leading by the opposition. United socialist 
party organizes mass murder of demonstrators and arrests of they leaders. Within United 
socialist party there are different factions( a) military b) Marxist-Leninists in) 
Pro-Cuban group), but Maduro is close to the Pro-Cuban faction, and Chavez referred to the 
Marxism-Leninism ideology.

Chavistas led to the fall of GDP, inflation of 800%, the lack of food and toilet paper. 
Venezuelans stand in mile-long queues for food. Maduro has created a nightmare. The 
economic catastrophe of Bolshevism is even more evident that Venezuela is the richest 
country in South America. Here is located the largest oil reserves in the world (!), huge 
reserves of natural gas, iron and gold. The subtropical climate wich is ideal for 
agriculture could provide an abundance of products. Chavistas held their Bolshevik reforms 
in almost 20 years, when there was no civil war or embargo (the US sanctions were minor 
and affected only a few leaders of the regime). Venezuelans need to destroy the Bolsheviks 
and Venezuelans know it: 2\3 vote for the opposition. However, the problem is that the 
liberal opposition is unlikely to improve their lives.

It is necessary to add that neo-liberal reforms proposed by opposition, is extremely heavy 
and can only worsen the situation of a huge part of employees. So in Russia during the 
liberal reform in 1990-2000 50% of industry has been destroyed; tens of millions people 
lost their jobs. Therefore, the protesters people, Venezuelans will make a big mistake, if 
support liberal leaders: it is extremely dangerous to support the leaders of the liberal 
opposition.

I know the only way: libertarian communalism. This output is beyond both Bolshevism and 
Liberalism. Residents of cities and towns can and should establish direct democracy and to 
take in self-management all local infrastructure and industry. The country should become a 
Confederation of Autonomous Municipalities, where the working people themselves manage the 
entire life. This is the only way not to depend on parties (Liberals and Bolsheviks).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foTIrpMjMzM ---- Embat, the libertarian organization of 
Catalonia, wants to show his solidarity with all the victims of the incident today August 
17 in Barcelona. ---- We believe that, first of all, popular organizations must defend, 
above all, serenity and support for all the people affected. ---- We also believe that it 
is important that we strengthen our critical and analytical ability calmly, without 
falling into paranoia. We know that the liberties will want to take advantage of this 
tragedy to cut freedoms and attack the movement against touristization and gentrification 
or the one that fights against the shortage of life. ---- If the thesis of the Jihadist 
motivation attempt is confirmed, we must continue demanding the end of hypocrisy by the 
institutions. Demand the immediate end of any help to Western financing of Islamic and 
Judaist movements (used as subsidiary armies in the Wars of the Near East), blocking of 
countries that provide material coverage (well-known to all) and explicit support To the 
populations and movements like the Kurd Liberation Movement that are in front of the 
battle against the Salafist and Jihadist groups.
