We have completed 100 years of Istrian Anarchist activities, popularity among the workers 
of the 1870s, and the "surrender" of anarchist ideas from Italy and Switzerland to Istria, 
to monitoring anarchists who internationally act until their death in the 1970s, such as 
Nikola Turcinovic. After the confession of the secret police of that time, the workers of 
Istria were more inclined to the "Italian type" of workers 'organization than to the 
German one, which means that the anarchist stream of the workers' movement in Istria was 
popular. But not all "merits" were taken over by Italian anarchists who, since their 
founding of the Brotherhood in 1856 in Naples and the activities of the famous Errico 
Malatesta, have created their "base", Istrian anarchists were created by generations of 
anarchist militants who worked in the workers' movement in Istria, Trieste and Rijeka, 
opposed the terror of Italian fascists, all the way to international action in France, 
Argentina, Spain and Italy. To have enjoyed the great trust of the International Anarchist 
Movement, they speak of the responsible positions they occupied when they came to foreign 
anarchist organizations and revolutionary situations such as the Spanish Civil War and the 
Italian resistance movement. Anarchism has a rich past and continuity in these areas, 
despite the shrinking of different powers.

The regimes are changing anarchism in Istria remains!

On the afternoon of Friday 2/2, we took part at the Benetton store on Maizonos Street in 
Patra, during the week of actions called by the IFA (International Anarchist Federation) 
for solidarity in the Battle of the native Mapuche who accept the repressive attacks of 
the Argentine state. Attacks in which the anarchist companion Santiago Maldonado and the 
young fighter Mapuche Rafael Nahuel were murdered. ---- For about 1 hour we put banners 
out of the store, we threw tits and distributed texts to the passers-by. ---- Respective 
interventions take place this week in many parts of the world. ---- MARICHIWEU! ---- 
Following is the joint announcement of the organizations participating in the 
International Anarchist Federation (IFA): ---- PRICE IN THE ANARCHICAL AGIENT SANTIAGO 
MALDONADO ---- UNDERSTANDING AND ASSOCIATED BY THE ARGENTINE STATE

The multinational company Benetton, which, through its advertisements, attempts to present 
a supposedly anti-racist profile, actually buys large land in Argentina, most of which 
belong to the indigenous Mapuche, a land that has been beaten by the Argentine state-and 
Chile - by indigenous peoples. Mapuche contestants and those who also stand solidarity in 
their struggle are targeted by the Argentine state as "terrorists" - as part of the 
repressive "RAM plan" drafted by the national security ministry - for their social 
isolation and suppression of their resistances . Last August, Argentine police kidnapped 
and murdered the anarchist SantiagoMaldonado, and in November he murdered companion Rafael 
Nahuel.

On August 1, in Chubut province, Argentine Patagonia, a Mapuche tribe together with 
solidarity ruled out a street in the area where Benetton's headquarters are located, 
protesting for the landing of their land by the company. Gendarmerie forces attacked by 
shooting and chasing those who tried to defend themselves as they could. During the 
repressive operation - according to many eye-catchers - the anarchist Santiago Maldonado 
was arrested by the gendarmerie, who was forced into a white van by force and actually 
abducted him since Santiago did not communicate with anyone again . His corpse was found - 
two and a half months later - on October 18th in a river of Patagonia, in a barbarous 
reminder of the 30th.

During the kidnapping of his partner, a major mobilization has been developed to return 
Santiago with gatherings, demonstrations and conflicts in many Argentine cities. While the 
state, the cops and the media were involved in a pardon of the indignation of indigenous 
struggling indigenous communities and anarchist fighters, they were denied any 
responsibility for abducting their partner by focusing their propaganda on conspiracy 
theories about extinction or the threat they pose for the state as "internal enemy" those 
who stand against the plans of the bosses and especially the anarchists.

The natives of the Mapuche tribe - in Chile and Argentina - struggle to defend their 
communities, their culture and their land from the looting and destruction brought about 
by their exploitation by large multinational corporations to which they are granted by the 
state, which has taken it from indigenous peoples with a series of wars and genocides from 
the time of the "conquest" of the American continent. In their struggle, they have often 
faced persecution, imprisonment and the violence of repressive mechanisms, as well as the 
gangs of partisans operating on behalf of the bosses on both sides of the Andes. In 
Chubut, much of Mapuche claims the land owned by the Benetton Group,

Santiago was murdered because, as an anarchist, he chose to stand and fight with 
indigenous peoples, chose to stand by the oppressed and the exploited, and against the 
torturers and murderers of the suppression powers, the anti-social and anti-social plans 
of the state and economic elites.

Rafael Nahuel, a young companion from the Mapuche region, was a member of the Al Margen 
college and had taken part in many actions to defend the native Mapuche and their land. On 
25 November 2017, on the day of Santiago's funeral, the Argentine police conducted a 
business in a Mapuche area for the violent removal of indigenous peoples from their land. 
The cops attacked the people with both plastic bullets and real fire resulting in the 
murder of companion Rafael.

Comrades Santiago Maldonado and Rafael Nahuel will be present in races that break out in 
every corner of the earth like all the fighters who gave their lives for a free and fair 
world without inequalities, without exploitation and oppression ...

Internationalist Solidarity

- our comrades in Argentina who accept the repression of the Argentine state and resist

-The Indians Mapce and all the indigenous peoples who defend their land against its 
exploitation by Benetton's modern conquistadors.

One of the struggles that make ecological news in Germany is that of the Hambach forest: 
from direct action to lobbying, the challenge is to protect an old millennium forest 
threatened by the establishment of a colossal coal power plant. ---- It is possible to 
follow the daily struggle with the site Foret.hambachforest.org and to support the 
occupants. ---- The movement also has a Facebook page and a Twitter account ---- Since 
2012, a group of mostly anarchist activists have been busy occupying the Hambach Forest in 
confrontation with the authorities and RWE, one of the major energy groups in Germany, 
which is officially owner. ---- In a mining area, between Aachen and Cologne, the 
challenge is to save 1,000 hectares of forest from lignite extraction, or brown coal, 
considered one of the worst fossil fuels. "  Hambi  ", nickname given to this space 
several thousand years ago by the militants, was initially 9 times larger.

Spiral of repression

Police operations are regular and brutal, coordinated by RWE's private security and the 
public forces can mobilize several hundred agents. The goal is to prevent the 
establishment of a real area to defend by regularly destroying the huts and 
infrastructures in an escalation of violence contrary to the declarations of good intentions.

Bullying and confiscation of laptops and computers is common. In total more than 200 
investigative procedures were supported by RWE on the basis of false accusations. RWE is 
developing, in the wake of the punch operations, access roads for deforestation machines 
and patrols as last March.

Equipped with oversized equipment, the operation is done 24 hours a day up to 450 meters 
deep and up to 3 million cubic meters of earth maneuvered per day, creating a sustainable 
disaster zone. More than a million trees of what was originally a protected natural area 
were destroyed ; Agricultural land and valuable ecosystems have disappeared in the area of 
approximately 170 square kilometers, the largest open pit mine in Western Europe. Nearly 
40,000 people were expelled - or "  displaced  " depending on the point of view.

The ore is used to supply the company's thermal power plants, which emit high levels of 
CO2, arsenic, nitrous oxide and mercury. To this must be added the radioactive emissions 
present during the extraction and burning of lignite, making coal-fired power plants the 
largest sources of radioactive pollution after nuclear power plants.

Peripheral housing areas are confronted with levels of radioactivity above thresholds that 
are declared tolerable, more prone to diseases caused by fine particles, and also suffer 
from soil subsidence caused by pumping water that must not be released. reach the mines. 
Dewatering groundwaters condemns to death surrounding biotopes and underground reserves 
suffer pollution by heavy metals released during extraction.

Against RWE and his world

If justice allows deforestation, the fight does not stop despite the potentate RWE. Place 
of concrete resistance, Hambach is also a point of support for the campaigns of a broad 
movement on the climate. It combines both the techniques of blocking and demonstrations 
from the antinuclear movement, direct actions and also a more institutional lobbying 
calling for the gradual end of coal-fired power plants, a reasonable political option that 
is supported by Greenpeace against the claim of an immediate stop of the die.

The same organization states that the nine German brown coal plants cause the death of at 
least 1800 people a year. For the most radical part of the movement, only the halt without 
transition will save what can still be - and this includes the current generations victims 
of coal - without entering medium-term negotiations skillfully recovered by large 
corporations .

Anarchists and antifascist activists have been arrested and imprisoned in Russia with 
extreme violence by police and FSB (federal security forces) in recent days, which appears 
to be part of a generalised clampdown on dissent during the presidential election period 
(of which the first round is due to take place mid-March). Read this call for solidarity 
including legal funds. ---- The following was posted on Avtomon (Autonomous Action 
anarchist network) website on 29/01/2018: 
https://avtonom.org/en/news/support-anarchist-and-antifa-prisoners-stpetersburg ---- Note: 
For background information, see 
https://avtonom.org/en/news/arrests-and-searches-regard-anarchists-and-antifascists-stpetersburg 
and https://avtonom.org/en/news/airsoft-penza-terrorism-case ---- "We are currently 
fundraising to pay the lawyers working on several cases related to the police raids and 
arrests of anarchists and antifascists in St. Petersburg and Penza, Russia.

As of now, two people in St. Petersburg and five in Penza are under arrest, while many 
others have been connected to their cases as witnesses. The raids and repressions are 
likely to continue.

The arrestees are charged with part 2 of article 205.4 of the Russian Criminal Code, 
participation in a Terrorist Organisation, and the entire process has been started at the 
request of the court in Penza.

On January 23rd, on his way to Pulkovo Airport, Victor Filinkov was detained by the 
Federal Security Service (FSB). In order to force a testimony out of him he was beaten, 
and tortured with electric shocks in the woods. Signs of torture have been confirmed by 
the Filinkov's lawyer and members of the Public Monitoring Commission (ONK) who have 
visited him in the pre-trial detention center. Filinkov is currently in pre-trial 
detention/remand for the next two months.

On January 25th the FSB raided Igor Shishkin's apartment. After the raid neither his 
lawyer, nor members of Public Monitoring Commission were able to find Igor for more than a 
day. On January 27th Igor was brought to a session in court with clear signs of beating. 
He is currently in pre-trial detention/remand for the next two months. Journalists were 
not allowed to attend the hearing and furthermore two of them were arrested.

Several witnesses were also tortured: Ilya Kapustin was beaten up and tortured with 
electric shocks while police demanded he give testimony that some of his acquantances are 
up to "something dangerous." Medical services later recorded numerous traces of stun gun 
usage.

In Penza, arrests began in October 2017. Local FSB officers have arrested six people, five 
of whom are currently in pre-trial detention. All of those arrested were brutally 
tortured. The events in Penza are described in detail in this article.

Legal help is needed for prisoners and witnesses, as their numbers are constantly 
increasing. It is early to speak about an exact amount of money, but it will cost at least 
200 thousand rubles (around 3000 Euros/3500 USD) to pay for lawyers' fees in the next months."

Defending Afrin means defending the women's revolution: "Erdogan's fascism will not pass!" 
---- Since 20 January 2018, the Turkish army has been attacking and attempting to invade 
the Kurdish region of Afrin in the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria. Day and night, 
our towns and villages, refugee camps, historical sites and holy places were bombed by 
Turkish warplanes and artillery. During the first 10 days of these attacks, 65 civilians 
died and 163 were seriously injured. Among the victims are women, men, children and many 
refugees from other parts of Syria. ---- The fascist regime in Turkey openly announced the 
goal of its military aggression against Afrin, how to annihilate the autonomous democratic 
self-management of Rojava and occupy the territory of northern Syria. In this way, 
Erdogan's dictatorship strives to spread its racist, religious-fundamentalist, and sexist 
oppression regime throughout the Middle East.

As Afrin women we call upon women from all over the world to join in our resistance to 
defend Afrin and the values of humanity! For 6 years, the women of Afrin and Rojava 
resisted the attacks of the Islamic State. At the same time, we play a leading role in 
building democratic self-management structures. Women in Rojava have built autonomous 
structures based on community organization, women's councils, academies and cooperatives, 
as well as women's self-defense. When we realize that the solidarity of women is one of 
our most effective weapons, we develop our strength and our conscience. The courage that 
our Comrade Arîn Mirkan, in the struggle for Kobane's defense against the fascism of the 
ISIS, extended among women from all parts of society in Rojava. Its resistance was taken 
up by our companion Avesta Xabur, who sacrificed his life to stop the attempt of invasion 
of the Turkish army Fascist in the region of Afrin. Ten thousand women took up arms to 
defend their land, their lives and their future in Afrin. The resistance of the YPJ 
Women's Defense Units and the women's civil defense forces, Parastina Jinê, organized 
under the Rojava Women's Movement, Kongreya Star, are part of the global resistance of 
women against any form of oppression, feminicide and fascism .

While international institutions and state governments are silent about war crimes and the 
abuses of international law we face, we believe that women's international solidarity will 
be our most powerful weapon in defeating fascism and patriarchy. In this regard, we call 
on all women in the world to join in our struggle to defend Afrin: to defend a revolution 
of women.

We salute all our sisters who feel the same responsibility as us and take measures to stop 
the aggression of the Turkish state against Afrin by all means necessary.

Let us strengthen the networks and actions of international solidarity of women to stop 
the fascist wars and to spread the revolution of the women from Afrin and the north of 
Syria to all the regions of the world.

Long live the resistance of Afrin!

Long live the international solidarity of women!

Long live the Reber APO!

"The abolition of the state requires specific material conditions which can only be the 
fruit of a social revolution." ---- Former professor of philosophy and sociologist 
passionate about Marxist thought, long militant in the left self-management of the CFDT 
and host of the critical bulletin In Contre-courant, Alain Bihr is now a member of 
Alternative Libertaire in Alsace. He is the author of about twenty books for forty years, 
some of which have made milestone: La Farce Quiet (1986), Between the bourgeoisie and the 
proletariat: the capitalist framework (1989), From the Grand Soir to the alternative 
(1991) ), The Twilight of Nation-States (2000), The Neoliberal Novelanguage (2007), The 
Inequality System (with Roland Pfefferkorn, 2008), The Unknown Logic of Capital (2010).

Read the presentation of this book in Alternative libertaire of October 2017
At the time of digitization, uberisation, platform economics, etc., what is the relevance 
of reading, studying or referring to an author as old (some and some would say "  dated 
Karl Marx ?

Alain Bihr:This question is naive. It proceeds from the ignorance of one of the 
fundamental and specific features of the capitalist mode of production that Engels and 
Marx pointed out as early as The Manifesto of the Communist Party: the fact that it can 
not reproduce its constituent relations (the relations of production, property, class, 
etc.) without constantly upsetting their forms and contents. In a word, the structural 
invariance of the capitalist mode of production is only possible in and through the 
permanent change of modes of production, consumption, habitation, etc. to live in short, 
to which he puts humanity under his control. To say that Marx remains current is simply to 
affirm that the principles of analysis (method, concepts, guiding hypotheses, etc.) of the 
structural elements of capitalism that he has elaborated remain necessary, even if they 
may prove insufficient, to understand that what is new today in the capitalist world 
proceeds fundamentally from this dialectic of invariance in and through change. Even 
insufficient, Marx remains necessary !

What are the differences and continuities between the proletariat of today and that of the 
XIX th  century ? And for the bourgeoisie ?

Alain Bihr:The transformation of social class relations, starting from the social classes 
themselves, illustrates what I have just said. They remain relations of exploitation, 
domination and alienation, linking and opposing those who own and manage the social means 
of production and monopolize the monetary wealth to those who, by their wage labor, value 
the precedents in as capital. This is the structural datum. At the same time, and this is 
the main transformation that has been amplified and accelerated in recent decades, these 
reports have today a global dimension. Hence both a greater concentration and 
centralization of capital (and hence of the power of the bourgeoisie) at the world level 
and an increased differentiation of statutes within the wage-earners, itself globalized,

The phrase "dictatorship of the proletariat" has historically served to cover the 
dictatorship of a party claiming to act in the name of the proletariat. But when 
libertarian communists claim "all power to workers" or "all power to councils", does this 
not imply a form of undivided power exercised by the proletariat?

Alain Bihr: Of all the texts in which Marx explores the political forms of the proletarian 
revolution, it follows that we must be careful to articulate three elements that are as 
many imperatives or objectives of this revolution. "The dictatorship of the proletariat", 
certainly, that is to say the exercise by the proletariat of political power, possibly 
involving coercive measures against counterrevolutionary social forces. But also "the 
achievement of democracy  Which, from a formal and indirect democracy, must become a real 
and direct democracy: the exercise of political power, in the sense of the direction, 
organization and control of all social activities, by the vast majority of the population 
in the form of bodies (factory councils, neighborhood committees, municipalities, etc.), 
in which the democratic debate and decision are the rule, or through representative 
assemblies of which members are subject to strict principles (rotation, revocability, 
imperative mandate, etc.). And "the withering away of the state" in the sense that, to 
this very extent, political power will cease

gradually to be exercised in the form of an apparatus placed outside and above society and 
by professionals of the political action, since the simple civil servant to the leaders 
populating the tops of these apparatus d 'State.

The way in which Marx thinks of the state remains a stumbling block for libertarian 
thought. Maximilian Rubel felt that Marx had not developed this in his work. What to think?

Alain Bihr: It is true that one does not find in Marx a perfectly elaborate theory of the 
state in general or even of the capitalist state in particular. And yet the question of 
the state has not ceased to concern him, since his criticism of the section devoted to the 
state in the Philosophy of Law of Hegel (1843) until the Civil War in France (1871) in 
which he draws lessons from the Paris Commune. Many of the passages he has devoted to it, 
however, reveal some major guidelines. Let's remember two. On the one hand, the state is 
fundamentally a social relation or, more exactly, the synthesis of all social relations 
structuring society.; as such, it possesses a materiality (an objectivity) that can not be 
reduced to the subjectivity of statesmen or men of the state, to their good or bad will. 
On the other hand, the division, the opposition and the hierarchy between state and civil 
society, which makes the state exist, have their origin in internal divisions (especially 
between social classes) which prevent civil society from establishing or maintain unity on 
its own. From this it follows that - and this is undoubtedly a fundamental point of 
divergence with part of the anarchist thought - that the State can not be abolished by a 
stroke of the pen: its abolition requires specific material (social) conditions that can 
only be the result of a social revolution and the process by which society (re) conquers 
control of its own (re) production process. I will add that the same thing could be said 
about the commodity or the currency.

In the Manifesto of the Communist Party, Marx evokes the "organization of proletarians in 
class, and therefore in political party". In what way does political party organization 
and classroom organization overlap ?

Alain Bihr: Let's move aside to start a misunderstanding. When Engels and Marx speak of a 
political party or communist party in The Manifesto, the word party does not have the 
narrow and exclusive meaning it has today. It does not mean that specific form of 
political organization created by the exercise of representative democracy 
(parliamentary), which is still largely non-existent in the first half of the XIX th 
century. It then has a much broader meaning, the one attributed to it when we talk about 
"taking the side of": Choose such cause, option, decision, opinion, etc., among multiple 
possible. Therefore, to propose that the proletarians organize themselves into a political 
party, is to propose to them that they come together, regroup, organize themselves to act 
(fight) in common in the sense of their own interests. This can be done in the form of 
parties (in the current sense), unions, cooperatives, mutuals, popular education 
movements, cultural associations, etc., without prejudging the relative importance of 
these different forms. of organization which are so many foci of formation and 
reinforcement of class subjectivity. In this sense, the organization of the proletariat in 
part is the same as the affirmation of the class as a class for itself.

Marx would have written: "The working class is revolutionary or it is nothing at all". 
What is this statement based on?

Alain Bihr: For my part, I have never read anything like that under the pen of Marx. But I 
do not pretend to have read all Marx ... This kind of sententious remark is not in his 
usual style. I will therefore willingly formulate the hypothesis that this is one of those 
innumerable deformations or falsifications of which his thought has been a victim.

Faced with the very serious news about secret experiments in which animals were used to 
try to test the benefits of diesel, we would like to convey to Seat Management some 
considerations: ---- Our union is currently personalized in the case against the 
Dieselgate in the National Court, as representatives, both car users who have asked for 
it, as well as workers who have been exposed to the consequences of the The technological 
scandal of fraud in the consumer equipment of certain models of the VW Consortium. ---- We 
find it shameful that once again the direction of VW, along with other German companies, 
recognize and ask forgiveness to use gas chambers to cruelly experience living things 
(monkeys) about the consequences of nitrogen dioxide (NO2). And we hope that VW can fully 
deny the news about possible trials in humans.

  At the time, we conveyed our rebuff to any type of fraud in reality about the polluting 
aspects of automobiles. These news exceeds the seriousness of what was at that time 
computer fraud because of the serious consequences that could have on the population in 
general.

  Although it is known that the decisions about motorizations are marked by the 
Consortium, we want to convey them, so that you can do so at the highest VW address, the 
need to demand maximum responsibilities for people who have played with the life of Living 
beings (hopefully never have been with humans) and the sooner the consequences can be 
avoided on the group's templates, which may have a scandal of this caliber.

  Finally, we remind you that in 2007, the CGT encouraged them to investigate with the 
best means, for the adoption of electromobility engines. We now commit to this and with 
the requirement that technological alternatives be without emissions or pollutant (lithium 
batteries).

  We are sure that a multinational like VW has the economic and technical capacity to be 
able to change the technologies of motorization towards non-polluting energies. But in 
addition, we demand that these costs be assumed by the shareholders and the top guilty 
executives AND ALSO THE TEMPLATES OF VW COMPANIES that we have already put quite a lot on 
our part, with daily effort and work.
