On Sunday, September 3, a Libertarian Forum was held in the city of Buenos Aires with the 
attendance of about four hundred militants from various groups of the anarchist and 
related movement who gathered to discuss a non-electoral social alternative. ---- A 
libertarian movement that is made of adding the differences. ---- By MadreSelva 
Editorial[video with recordings of the forum by Matanza VIVA on Facebook] ---- The rain 
washes the sidewalk and the leaden city is set like a tango for another noonday Sunday 
with demonstrators dawning in a cell. The street is silent, except for the mobile phones 
that whistle the entrance of urgent messages that are crossed in versions found: they 
release today; no tomorrow. Uncertainty causes that within minutes of starting the 
Libertarian Forum someone mocionar suspend everything and burn the sky if necessary.

But the call is under way and the comrades of the community channel Antena negra in charge 
of the streaming of the Forum, housed in the police station 30 after the Buenos Aires city 
police kidnapping squadron drag them on the pavement, ask: follow ahead.

About four hundred people will attend the day. But let's start at the beginning.

This Forum was a call to meet to exchange ideas and experiences that help to think and act 
from democracy and direct action, resistance and self-defense, to reflect collectively on 
political tasks and anti-authoritarian historical perspectives. Without hegemonies or 
programmatic objectives to fulfill but open to the future of deliberations.


Panel of human rights with the presence of family and friends of Luciano Arruga, Nilda 
Eloy and Nora Cortiñas
Libertarian Socialist Action launched an invitation to the sea, which had a strategic 
objective: before the elections, it is imperative for those who do not vote to catch up in 
a debate that mirrors them in the difference and that seeks the encounter in what the sister.

The student group Juanito Laguna, the group of popular communication Matanza alive, 
honeysuckle publishing and the Society of resistance west Virginia Bolten joined the 
challenge of germinating conditions for groups, associations, and individuals are and, as 
in the stew that was amassing since the beginning of the day, amalgamating the ingredients 
and give them the necessary seasoning to "do" libertarian community.

It's Sunday 3 September and the dark clouds hide the sun again until you know where is 
Santiago Maldonado? And no one, of those who are crossing the threshold of the house 
culture of the neighborhood in Villa Crespo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, is alien to this 
claim.

The first thing you see when you enter the premises is a Fair with silkscreens, planks 
with pamphlets, red and black that coexist with the rainbow aguayos, engravings, shirts 
and photographs that snapshot social protest, beyond books and vegan hamburgers , some cd 
and more posters, present the Committee of solitude with the Kurdish struggle, the agendas 
of the comrades of the group The voice of women in the neighborhood of Lugano, Libertarian 
feminists of the city of Olavarria, the popular library José Ingenieros .

The center of the scene has been occupied by girls who thrive origami from the loving hand 
of the educators of the popular baccalaureate who came together.

The largest space, the auditorium, is packed and at times you have to go out to renew the 
air and that you can enter other comrades. The Forum has started and takes the floor ASL 
to welcome and put into context the social and political climate that crosses us. Like 
petals that fall on the present ones, the voices of Free Way of Colombia, of the companion 
Azizé that will speak of the revolution and the ongoing war in Rojava, of Fernando - the 
brother of the maple lonoro Facundo Jones Hualas, stopped in the Unit 14 of Esquel-, and a 
commission of colleagues of the National Alternative Media Network. The clap closed does 
not let the storm that hits the trees outside in the sidewalk is heard.

The compas come and go by carrying tuppers and containers filled with lentil stew without 
meat, in the Forum everything is discussed and even the need for a vegan option was a 
point of the agenda.

At the same time as the lunch the workshops of Cyberactivism and Cartography of the social 
struggle are developed. It smells of turpentine and paint, and the patches with the logo 
of the Forum come out like choripanes of square.

It promotes the afternoon and for a moment the area of the Fair transmutes in a round to 
the session on Education, where university militants, popular high school teachers, 
secondary students who escape the occupations that are starring in their schools are mixed.

On the first floor are the Feminisms, until there arrived the comrades of Casa Karacol of 
the city of Cordoba - one of the premises raided in the August 31 raid that will evoke 
excited what would have pleased the beloved comrade Maite Amaya el Forum. The Pre and Post 
Council of Villurka that creates networks and materials to accompany safe abortions in the 
groups of people with disabilities. The Juanito Laguna relates day by day the 48 that took 
the National University of Art to avoid the cuts in public art education, gratuitous and 
of quality and in that frame to apply the law of Integral Sexual Education, fights that 
also forge affections - and again present anarchism and its possibilities of exploring the 
political power of friendship.

In the trade union plenary, trajectories as dissimilar as that of the companions of 
precarious Scientists share the mate, for example, with that of the drivers of bus line 60 
or the workers who recovered their positions in the newspaper Hoy! of La Plata, with the 
FORA de Lomas de Zamora and the other municipal workers of the city of Lanus.

The main salon now witnesses the plenary of Human Rights and anti-reprisal struggle that 
opens Nilda Eloy of the Association of former Disappeared Detainees. Vanesa Orieta holds 
the voice like a banner and, again, the Forum is silent in the middle of an applause 
because she is walking, slowly, with a smile that does not hide her joy, her confidence 
and her hope: Nora. Norita Cortiñas is going to sit there, like one more, and in the 
semipenumbra someone gives a tear like a kiss.

In the space of discussion of territorial struggles, the members of the Federation of 
Grassroots Organizations, the Front of Organizations in Struggle, militants who have made 
their experience in the Popular Front Darío Santillán, and the Mapuche referent Moira 
Millán, of spreading their joy.

The afternoon drops the blind of the night and the phones do not shut up. Rumors of the 
barricade say it is likely that at any moment detained protesters will regain their freedom.

It begins the reading of a document, which will officiate farewell to the day, where it is 
stressed that the Forum sought to promote the meeting so that anarchism plays a leading 
role as a social force.

Again the applause is like the sound of a thousand drums clacking in the chest and it is 
not possible to ignore the cries of freedom! and present! to the fallen.

The band is now on stage and shows that you can raise the temperature a couple of degrees 
higher. To the barricades, the closure chosen by the Artistic Club Libertad is like a 
strawberry for dessert, worth the common place.

The place is already sweeping and folding the tables. The collective stops welcome those 
who are going to return home chewing ideas, anecdotes and conspiracies.

The libertarian forum was, for an afternoon, that temporarily autonomous area of which Bey 
speaks, a border where the different territories of the horizontal, antiauthoritarian, 
anarchist, rebel, indomitable, came together without passports, became confused, accepted 
and even narrowed in kisses, hugs and laughter.

The libertarian Forum showed that the anarchist, antagonistic, autonomous and free 
movement is made of adding the differences, of speaking in other languages, of dwelling in 
common practices without diluting our particularities, assuming them, enhancing them.

There is a beast outside the territory house, neighborhood, social center, union, which 
feeds on speculation and terror. And another beast in the body territory, who from fear of 
losing freedom makes his feast of selfishness. Both beasts bit the dust during the Forum.

While they were leaving, many compas asked in passing how does this follow? It continues 
as it began, because this trip is circular, to finish to begin.

Health and Social Revolution and Why not? Ever onward to victory.

Final document of the libertarian forum

Companions, companions, companions:

First of all we thank all of you for coming to discuss and exchange in this long day full 
of tasks, experiences, new perspectives, approaches and collective solutions to the great 
problems that cross our class.

This Forum was organized with the joint effort of some militant and libertarian 
organizations, on the basis of meeting to discuss the axes referred to the resistance and 
fight against patriarchy; to the hard fights that we give in the union world; the complex 
educational and student space; to reflect on the experience of our territorial 
intervention; in the struggles for DD. H H. in a context of advanced state repression and 
economic adjustment.

In the past we find ourselves in various opportunities and trajectories putting on the 
table the need to discuss the fundamental elements of our militancy. However, the 
imagination to transcend the barrier of intellectual debate or the accidental practice of 
unity was not enough. We must, our companions and partners, join and redouble our efforts 
to become a social force. As powerful as the dreams we harbor in our hearts.

The recent history of the libertarian movement is marked by the disconnect between our 
organizational aspirations and its results. Although much is the delivery, the militancy, 
the struggles that aware of libertaries we gave and we give in pickets and factories; in 
assemblies and route cuts; in student mobilizations or in resistance against the advance 
of the reaction, we could not channel organically. As libertaries, we are part of a 
tradition that gave the popular movement many tools for combat. We were an active part of 
the piquetero resistance, the construction of experiences in the world of trade unions, 
which helped to form internal delegations and commissions of anti-bureaucracy, historical 
struggles in universities and research spaces, in the struggle against patriarchy so 
entrenched in our class and in the urgent need for the appropriation of feminism. In 
recent decades we have built good ideas, great companions, sound criticisms of the stage 
and the popular field, but the material translation of a period is a constant "re-start". 
Many were also the companions who went away for lack of answers, by sectarianisms or 
self-constructions, because the ivory tower is unattainable for our class.

We propose, we propose, to learn to rebuild ourselves as libertarian militants, to recover 
the confidence that our ideological current is not a museum piece in the class struggle. 
Learning is to look at each worker and each worker as an ally; is to know how to live in 
permanent contradiction and to find the right methods to solve them and increase our 
popular strength; is to learn that our ideology is fundamentally anti-dogmatic and we 
should never become churches that give doctrinal purity: our ideology is the liberation of 
the oppressive forces of Capital, the State and the Patriarchate.

Learning from a libertarian practice is also to live up to the construction in the short 
and medium term for the working class, to get involved in consensual strategies, to 
overcome the demands and to organize to build that new world today, to undertake with the 
bodies a struggle from self-defense in the face of the violent attacks of capitalism and 
patriarchy, but also of collectively rethinking, making organizations spaces where it is 
questioned, separating the violent and abusive. Males can not be the priority in our 
organizations, nor the homopolitan practices, nor the competition between partners. Where 
we are not daily generating training, problematizing, raising awareness to prevent, 
repudiating and denouncing the intolerable, wins the patriarchy, gains the machismo, gains 
the oppression and the self-exclusion of the companeras. We want you alive and free. We 
want to be organized.

The current situation marks the inequality of forces: from the Condor Plan and the 
genocide to 30,000, the dominant sectors undertook the most ruthless advance on the 
workers, breaking the solidarity, breaking bodies and minds with individualism and 
consumerism, precarious structurally the lives of millions of people.

Those above seek to banish the idea of change and to enshrine the capitalist logic, the 
idea that capitalism and the state can not be replaced. They seek to destroy any kind of 
resistance. Proof of this is the repression, the dispossession of the original peoples and 
the construction of these as internal enemies, as terrorists.

If we understand that today is marked by fragmentation, our main task is to rebuild 
solidarity, the possibility of social change and the idea of Revolution.

The social organizations do not lie, the struggle gives results and we will continue to 
demonstrate that we have the capacity to manage ourselves and the organization of life 
that the State has today. An example of this is the valuable experiences we share in the 
panels and debates today. If the State prohibits and denies public policies to women who 
decide to abort, putting our lives at risk, we create Counseling; if the State does not 
generate effective public policies or allocate a budget against gender violence, we plant 
a camp, make protocols for action, raise awareness, prevent femicides, act collectively; 
if they aim to make working conditions even more flexible, to retrace a century of labor 
conquests, to lower our wages to make the regional economy more profitable with the Labor 
Reform, we will continue to underpin the resistance and organization in the broadest unit; 
if they want to make the forced disappearance of the common currency, a message of fear, 
an excuse to safeguard the interests of the landowners and extractivist multinationals 
there, we will be building dignified self-defense and the struggle for appearance with 
life. We do not want to get out of our hands a partner or a partner. excuse to safeguard 
the interests of the landowners and the extractivist multinationals there we will be 
building the dignified self-defense and the struggle for the appearance with life. We do 
not want to get out of our hands a partner or a partner. excuse to safeguard the interests 
of the landowners and the extractivist multinationals there we will be building the 
dignified self-defense and the struggle for the appearance with life. We do not want to 
get out of our hands a partner or a partner.

For that, it is necessary to put forward the facts, to foresee, to strategically discuss 
how we are going to stop in the face of conflicts, not to go after the next femicide, the 
next 10 adjustment measures. It's not about being left on the left. It is a matter of 
analyzing deeply and collectively what are the most effective tactics to develop for 
resistance and the accumulation of power from below. To resist is not to stand still or 
simply to be defensive. We must look at political creativity as a patient but firm 
addition to the destabilization of the dominant sectors. The current stage of rearmament 
of the working class has a high preparatory component and requires specific tasks: in 
labor places and unions strengthening workers' awareness, from below, a combative and 
participatory perspective; in social movements we should not accept reducing our struggles 
to the merely vindictive, breaking with the pointy logics, building popular power. We are 
unemployed workers and precarizades and we will propose to move forward in taking 
seriously the programmatic debate of our sector and the development of power in the local; 
from feminism we will do everything to continue deepening direct action and 
self-management, together with the movement of women who believe in street combativity by 
urgent and publicly felt demands to combat gender-based violence and heteronormative 
culture. Sadness and anger should not blind us. breaking with the pointy logics, building

Are we moving towards the abolition of assisted jobs ? They will in any case seriously 
planed, announced in August the government. The result is a probable wave of large-scale 
redundancies in the voluntary sector, linked to the rise of civic service. ---- The 
government announced in August the decline in the number of assisted jobs, considered " 
expensive " and " ineffective " by the Minister of Labor Muriel Pénicaud. Only 293,000 
contracts of this type are scheduled this year, compared with 459,000 signed in 2016. This 
government initiative is part of a silent plan for the disappearance of employment in the 
voluntary sector. Indeed, all public action is centered on training linked to the needs of 
employers and aid for the creation of companies. This, together with the reform of 
vocational training, led to the first disappearance of intermediary associations and to 
the dismemberment of Afpa (vocational training for adults) as well as training boxes.

subsidies abolished

Many town halls also cut subsidies from the associations that disturb them, while we are 
talking about participatory with a turn of arms. Many MJCs have closed down and have their 
premises destroyed. They are replaced by structures that conform to the elitist cultural 
policy of the people in power at the moment. We did not see that coming.

Today, the government's policy of saving local governments leads to the closure of 
associations, especially those involved in the "  city policies  ". The reform of the 
housing tax will undermine the culture, solidarity and the social bond on a daily basis. 
These associations are adjustment variables, since the public authorities favor 
associations and tenders with a sports dimension (linked to the forthcoming Olympics).

Indirectly, the decrease in Taps (extracurricular reception time) will also reinforce 
poverty, the precariousness of the staff of animation. It is, however, a supplementary 
salary for students or professors who can often have two to eight different bosses.

Associations suffer from a lack of long-term funding, as this funding is liberalized due 
to the shift from an operating subsidy logic to a competitive bidding process in ad hoc 
markets. In Paris, for example, social enterprises are gaining control of public 
facilities. This is in line with this liberalization, the financialisation of the 
voluntary sector and a weakening of public power. The State duplicates the commercial, 
capitalist logic.

The voluntary sector benefits from specific employment policies (employment for young new 
services, employment support contract - CUI / CAE, stepping-up jobs, and to some extent 
civic service), although it is sometimes a poor employer: 53  % of employees in the sector 
are on permanent contracts, compared with 88  % in the private sector and 83  % in the 
civil service ; 50  % of the associative jobs are part-time, and up to 70  % in the sports 
and culture sectors. Following the abolition of assisted jobs, Pôle Emploi is in the 
process of canceling all applications made since 1 st August concerning new conventions, 
and no new convention will be made. There is no information on the duration of this 
suspension.

Is it a matter of making room for the "  rise in charge  " of the civic service promised 
by Jean-Michel Blanquer, Minister of National Education in charge of Youth, on 29 June 
last before the Conseil d'orientation des youth policies ? In July 2016 the mandatory 
civic service was adopted in Parliament, but the decrees were not published.

The disappearance of the Ministry of Youth and Associative Life, the decline in national 
subsidies and the end of public aid to associations in too many regions, leave us 
wondering what is expected of the almost 2 million workers of the associations. Missions 
of general interest or of public service, defended by the associations, should now be 
carried out only by "  volunteers  ", earning less than the SMIC and not benefiting from 
labor law ? Is this the way in which the Ministry of Labor promotes the professional 
insertion of young people and those most in difficulty ?

Civic service as a republican rite ?

Civic service is working between 24 and 48 hours a week, without rights or social 
protection ... Mr. Blanc, president of the Civic Service Agency, says that the civic 
service is " neither a job nor an internship " , on the ground, we can verify the reality 
of the work of these volunteers. The argument of civic service as a new " republican rite 
" hardly holds ground.


The reform of youth information (1,700 places in France) promised by the socialists and 
which will be set up by Macron and Blanquer in 2018 will reveal the government's 
objectives on youth. It is a safe bet that the focus will be on the "  fight against 
radicalism  " and put forward the so-called republican values. We must also imagine the 
orientation of young people towards precarious or underpaid jobs, and of course 
entrepreneurship or even the obligation to advertise civic service. Youth information will 
become an armed wing of governmental and capitalist ideology.

Under the guise of promoting national unity, the civic service instructions drawn up by 
the civil service agency are clear: the aim is to promote the "  employability  " of young 
people (the Europe 2020 project), to pacify social relations especially in sensitive urban 
areas ... The voluntary sector will undergo a major upheaval in the coming years, that of 
the disappearance of employment: hundreds of thousands are concerned. Struggles will 
emerge, the values of popular education will have to be reaffirmed. It is up to us all to 
remain vigilant and to put in place the conditions of solidarity and struggle of this 
ultra-priced sector.

In February 1917 autocracy collapsed like a chateau of cards. Joy almost unanimous. 
However, this is not enough to solve the social distress and suffering of a useless war. 
Now the socialist intelligentsia, desirous of "  normalizing  " the revolution, knows only 
how to temporize. Yet in some of the red bastions of Petrograd, exasperation is palpable. 
---- "  Feed the children of the defenders of the mother country.  Petrograd Textile 
Workers' Parade shouting famine on February 23, 1917. The weather was very lenient for a 
week and undoubtedly favored street demonstrations. ---- A few years later, the Russians 
had to say of Nicolas II, jokingly, that it would have been necessary to award him a medal 
of revolutionary merit posthumously, as he had worked for the fall of the tsarist regime 
by the stupidity of his policy.

History, indeed, furnishes but few instances of a government so obstinately attached to 
sawing the branch on which it sat.

The incompetence and cruelty of this anachronistic monarchy had alienated almost all 
sectors of society: the progressive intelligentsia, of course, but also the modernist 
patronage and especially the working class and part of the peasantry. It was by a miracle 
that the regime had survived the revolution of 1905-1906. His entry into the war against 
Germany in August 1914 was destined to be fatal. More than ever, the conflict exposed the 
regime's defects, unable to bear the logistical effort of mobilizing 12 million soldiers. 
The campaign which was to resupply the people around the triptych " 
autocracy-nation-orthodoxy  " turned into disaster.

 From 1915-1916, Russia was on the verge of defeat. Discredited by the hecatomb, surpassed 
by needs, the State, in full disaggregation, was supplemented already by the associations 
citizens, patronages and cooperatives.

The revolution of February 1917 swept away the regime as a castle of cards, to the general 
relief.

At the end of a week of strikes, demonstrations and riots in the capital, Petrograd, the 
tsar, tetanized, yielded to the supplications of the staff and, no doubt relieved himself, 
renounced the throne. Petrograd snow covered the abdication with an explosion of joy. 
Then, very quickly, public opinion forgot the Romanovs. The page of Tsarism was turned.

The socialist intelligentsia wants to calm the situation

For the progressive intelligentsia, it is an immense hope, mingled with a dull anguish. 
Hope to see Russia finally attaining "  European modernity  " ; the anguish of having to 
deal with an actor unpredictable, hungry and exhausted patience: the people.

These herds of workers and workers, vomited by the giant factories that have grown like 
mushrooms for twenty years, what will they demand ? These hordes of mutinous soldiers, 
mujiks, dressed in uniforms, whom their officers were still treating like dogs the day 
before, what are they capable of ? The crowds of enraged sailors who, on the 1st of March, 
shot the whole staff of Kronstadt, took a taste for blood ? How, finally, will the 
hinterland react and its unfathomable multitude of barefooters who, in 1905-1906, had set 
fire to the manors of the nobility in order to seize the land ?

At the beginning of March 1917, however, the crowd celebrating the revolution by singing 
La Marseillaise is still motley: ladies in hats and bourgeois democrats ; high-school 
students ; sailors and soldiers brandishing their rifles ; workmen and workmen wearing red 
ribbons and who already claimed the eight hours ; revolutionaries somewhat stunned by the 
rapidity of events and brutally exposed to their responsibilities: what to do now ?

Government and Soviet: two non-antagonistic powers ... for now

At the end of February, two distinct powers emerge from the ruins of the tsarist state. On 
the one hand, a group of parliamentary leaders is a provisional government composed of 
modernist bourgeois and a progressive aristocrat, Prince Lvov. On the other hand, the 
socialist intelligentsia of Petrograd - Menshevik, Bolshevik and SR - replicated the 
experience of 1905 and founded a "  Soviet[council]of Workers 'and Soldiers  ' Deputies " 
and called the factories and barracks to send delegates . Miracle: it works. It works even 
beyond expectations. In a few days, the room of the palace of Tauride where the soviet was 
installed is filled with nearly 3,000 delegates mandated. A proletarian Parliament was 
born, but also an administration, which will ensure the supply of Petrograd.

We must not believe that the Soviet and the Provisional Government are opposed, quite the 
contrary. The socialist intellectuals piloting the Soviet have no desire to govern a 
country in full shipwreck, under the pressure of crowds unleashed that deep inside of them 
they dread. They have been very relieved that this cabinet is being constituted as a 
lightning rod, with an ideological alibi in keeping with "  Marxist science  ": Russia is 
not ripe for socialism, it must first go through a long phase of modernization capitalist 
period during which the bourgeoisie must govern.

In this view, the Soviet's role is limited to that of a "  representative chamber  " of 
workers 'and soldiers' interests with the government ... at least until the convocation of 
a Constituent Assembly supposed to define the architecture of Russia new.

In practice, this pattern will be untenable. First of all, because the 250,000 soldiers of 
the Petrograd garrison send delegates to the Soviet and declare that they will only accept 
orders from him. The same goes for factory workers.

The situation is thus paradoxical: the government issues decrees but hardly has the means 
to enforce them ; the Soviet exercises real power, without any formal responsibility.

 From February to August 1917, however, there was a clear consensus between the 
Provisional Government and the Petrograd Soviet: urgency to "  complete the revolution  ", 
normalize the situation and get the country out of chaos. The role of Lvov is therefore to 
win the confidence of the allied countries, the employers, the military staff and the 
administration of the ministries. That of the Soviet is to moderate the popular demands, 
the fundamental triptych of which is land to peasants, workers' control over production 
and the conclusion of peace. Wasted effort. So much to ride a furious bull. By continually 
postponing to the Constituent Assembly the satisfaction of these demands, the moderates 
will discredit themselves in the space of six months for the benefit of the revolutionaries.

In the rest of the country, among the dozens of Soviets created in a few weeks, the 
situation is mixed: some are in the same conciliatory position as in Petrograd ; others 
are more radical, in the first rank of which the Soviet of ... Cronstadt ! Although the 
island is only a district of the capital, it acquires its own soviet, before accepting its 
inclusion in that of Petrograd  [1]. Nevertheless, over the course of the weeks, Cronstadt 
became a Bolshevik bastion, anarchist and maximalist SR.
