Under the leaden asphyxiated lead of the capitalist order, its bulldozers destroying 
social conquests and organized solidarity, in the union sluggishness, the word of women 
emerges as a volcanic irruption that puts pleasure in rage. ---- There were years of 
struggle but with so little space, that one could have gotten used to the depressed 
system. The patriarchs had donned their slippers. They had lost the privilege of the right 
to vote, abandoned abortion and even equality of rights and felt calm, everything was in 
order: the few hysterical, resilient bitches were always cleaning up. No one, from the 
husband to the boss, from the comrade to the colleague, feared the women: they raped, they 
exploited, they laughed, they denied, according to. And yet ! It was enough of a match to 
set the sheets on fire, the claim boils where it was called domesticated.

99 years ago, Rosa Luxemburg was murdered in Berlin by the men of the order: her last 
words remind us that it is also the reaction that unfolds the red carpet of the fight. 
Because the reactionaries never fail to respond, " revolutionary fights are the opposite 
of parliamentary struggles.[...]the revolutions have brought only defeats so far, but 
these inevitable failures are precisely the repeated guarantee of the final victory. " As 
such, the reaction expressed valètes in Le Monde January 10 is exemplary, it shows the 
revolutionary nature of women's speech and the fear it inspires.

Two titles. One for online buzz: " We defend a freedom to annoy, indispensable to sexual 
freedom " ; one for the paper: " Women free another word " To importunate, as to 
transgress ? To liberate, as to emancipate ? Joke, bad faith or rhetoric because all this 
oversees the order of the old world. The authors are obviously anti-feminists. Folles du 
Roy, they watch the patriarchal feudalism so that, above all, nothing changes. They have 
made a place in the sun at the price of allegiance to men, they defend by act of 
submission and fight for their right to abuse. Like all valets, they have an interest in 
flattering the powerful - and inequality statistics indicate that it increases with class 
hierarchy. This is incompatible with solidarity: asserting submission involves rivalry 
with other women and feminism.

In this fight, all the old weapons serve.
The words of the assaulted women are disqualified, the facts, minimized: " insistent 
dredge is not a crime ", " they were only wrong to touch a knee ". The hackneyed argument 
of victimization runs in a loop: to denounce and possibly to legislate is puritanism, it " 
enchains women to a status of eternal victims, poor little things ". The basics of the 
right are in the spotlight: nature grounds inequalities, so there is nothing to do. " The 
sexual drive is by nature offensive and savage ." The drive of the male, of course. By 
nature offensive, it justifies the freedom to attack - sorry, " to annoy ", and obliges to 
charity with the rubbers of the subway poor wretches in sexual misery. And stupid of the 
Apocalypse, the war of the sexes ! Not that of men who strike and kill millions of women 
every year, lock them into poverty and domestic activities and jobs, in fear of night 
outings. But the one that thwarts men's obsession with harassing, possessing, dominating 
and exploiting them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=PHVNnh1CPYM

What is left to women ? The freedom to say no ...
We see you from here the naughty, singing a slogan of November 25: " No, it's no ! Next 
time, it will be three shots of cutter in your cock, asshole ! ". Ah ! Put away your 
blade, girl ! On the right, the sexual freedom (of the women) is the adaptation since it 
is necessary to raise the girls so that they are sufficiently informed (risks ?) and 
conscious to be able to live their lives without being intimidated or guilty (when they 
will, of course, be bothered). Freedom is therefore the withdrawal of survival: We are not 
reducible to our bodies. Our inner freedom is inviolable ... and does not go without risks 
and responsibilities. They go far, women of the right in abnegation and in the terrible 
injunction they impose on others: my body, your body, we do not care, it is made to cash. 
The freedom of men, it is total, no one envisages to raise the boys not to annoy.

The reaction of the bourgeoisie of the world reveals the fundamentally revolutionary 
character of the speech and through the scarecrows we see the flickering of the system. 
Because sexual violence is the fear that is the keystone of the patriarchal, capitalist 
order. Violence, harassment at touching, rape and murder, and wage inequalities, 
employment, are not independent of each other: they all make the system. This is because 
it is possible to rape a woman, that can be paid 25% cheaper. " Justice " keeps the 
temple: " You have to complain This is the appropriate tangent to clear all the culprits. 
Because most complaints die: in 2017 in France, out of more than 60,000 rapes, 46 were 
sentenced. The prescription is 3 and 10 years for touching and rape prior to March 2017, 6 
and 20 years since. The requalifications of the crimes in crimes or non-place, finish the 
undermining. Like society, justice accepts violence. Calling him, instead of supporting 
the women victims, relegates them to the invisible solitude of the room of the not-lost.

On the contrary, autonomous speech connects us. The wave of denunciations of sexual 
violence tells harassed or abused women that they are members of a group that includes ... 
all women. It also opens the eyes of men who would have been distracted enough to have 
seen nothing. And because it reaches the heart of the system, it carries a hope that one 
believed dead everywhere else. Could women be at the side of other " dominated ", victims 
of racism, migrant, especially since they are proletarians and have everything to gain, 
the women revolutionaries that we want ?

On Sunday, January 21, Wroclaw saw a solidarity picket at the POLO Market store. ---- 
During the campaign, we distributed leaflets, talked with clients and passers-by about 
working conditions. Some of the passers-by were even able to confirm our accusations 
against the network citing friends who worked in the shop at Budziszynska. ---- Current 
postulates of employees and former employees include ---- Paying overdue overtime 
(currently 12 employees are asking for overtime, new ones are still being reported) ---- 
Cessation of intimidation of employees with dismissals (it is absurd that job ads are 
hanging at the same time) ---- Discontinuation of repressions against employees for 
admonishing oneself for their dignity and for association in the Polish Syndicalists' 
Union ---- Withdrawing an unfounded lawsuit against one of your former employees is an 
attempt to discourage further action
Thanks to the determination and self-organization of current and former employees and 
employees, we managed to recover the arrears in wages for 5 people, and to win an 
improvement in working conditions at the plant, including, among others;

Employees report that overtime records are improving
The breaks in the meat department begin to apply - you no longer have to consume 
sandwiches in the cold store
Thanks to pickets and PIP inspections, employees do not have to buy outdated products anymore

Moscow Anarchist Black Cross released the review of repression of anarchists by Russian 
state in 2017 and early 2018. During this period, the authorities continue to frame and 
persecute the Russian comrades. Anarchists are also a subject of repressions in prisons. 
Here is the extract of recently published list of repression in Russia. ---- St. 
Petersburg and Penza ---- In October 2017, Russian Special Services (FSB) fabricated a 
large-scale criminal case against anarchists and anti-fascists, whom they declared members 
of the terrorist organisation called The Network. Russian authorities allege that the 
accused planned and prepared terrorist acts to be conducted during the coming presidential 
elections in March 2018 and the World Cup over Summer the same year.

In Penza, Yegor Zorin, Ilya Shakursky, Vasily Kuksov, Dmitry Pchelintsev, Arman Sagynbaev 
and Andrei Chernov were detained. In St. Petersburg, the cops arrested Victor Filinkov and 
Igor Shishkin. Ilya Kapustin is currently a witness.  The relatives of the arestees 
reported that their loved ones were tortured in order to extract confessions from them. 
All detainees in this case are in a difficult situation, under the threat of repetition of 
tortures, and very much need your support – and your solidarity. You can make a donation 
towards their legal costs here. The arrested will also be delighted to recieve letters of 
support. Here are their addresses:

Moscow

Two activists, Elena Gorban and Alexei Kobaidze, are charged with criminal damage of 
Putin’s United Russia Party offices. They were charged after, at the end of January 2018, 
unknown activists smashed the window of one of the branches of the United Russia Party in 
Moscow and threw a fire inside in protest against the upcoming presidential elections.

“No matter who becomes president, their policy is always the oppression and exploitation 
of a simple working people. We, as anarchists, offer self-government and direct democracy 
in exchange for presidents and other state institutions. Join our fight! “- the people 
responsible for that action said in their statement.

The police broke into the apartments where Gorban and Kobaidze lived on February 13. After 
the interrogations, the activists were released on bail, and now they are on the run.

**
Chelyabinsk: criminal case for anti- FSB banner
In Chelyabinsk, five activists were detained on 19th February 2018 after the action near 
the local branch of the FSB. Persons unknown hanged a banner saying “FSB – the main 
terrorist” and threw a smoke bomb over the fence of the FSB property. The action was held 
in support of the anarchists arrested in Penza.

The activists, who prefer their names to be published, reported that the FSB officers 
tortured them with a taser gun, demanding that they admit that they hung the banner. They 
were eventually released on bail, but with a condition preventing them from leaving the 
country or changing address. You can help them with legal costs by transferring money to 
the account of ABC.

Crimea: Yevgeny Karakashev arrested for “justifying terrorism”
In February 2018, Crimean FSB arrested anarchist Yevgeny Karakashev. He is accused of 
“inciting hatred” and “justification of terrorism”, or in other words, posting a video on 
Russian social media page VKontakte. Karakashev is currently under arrest.

Eugene has been busy with activism for some time. Prior to his arrest, he took part in a 
picket near the FSB building in Crimean city Simferopol, and in November 2016, along with 
like-minded people, planned to hold a picket “against police arbitrariness in the Crimea” 
near the building of the Ministry of the Interior. This picket was banned by the local 
authorities.

Administrative Persecution of Anarchists
In Janury 2017, on the anniversary of the political assassination of lawyer Stanislav 
Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova, there were memorial events across the country, 
which the cops tried to break. Anarchists were detained in Moscow, Petersburg, Murmansk 
and Sevastopol. The police conducted more arrests this year during commemoration actions 
for Markelov and Baburova.

**

On 23rd February 2017, dozens of people were detained on left-wing “Desertir Fest” in the 
southeast of Moscow. The festival was held in protest against army conscription. The 
police considered such a cause unduly radical. In 2018 the festival did not take place 
because the cops prevented it in advance.

In Irkutsk in April 2017, searches were conducted with the participation of the SOBR 
(Russian Special Forces) unit and the Center for Countering Extremism. Nine people were 
detained. With regard to one of the activists – Dmitry Litvin – a criminal case was 
initiated under Article 148 of the Criminal Code (insulting religion). The rest were 
interrogated as witnesses in the case – the detainees themselves were sure that the main 
reason is different: local anarchists are the most active participants political life of 
the city and repeatedly intensified social protest.

In November 2017, when Russian antifascist traditionally commemorate Timur Kacharava: a 
musician and antifascist murdered by neo- nazis, the police broke the celebrations. As 
result, one person was arrested.

Persecution of Russian Activists Abroad
In April 2017, an anarchist Alexei Polykhovich was deported from Belarus after 12 days of 
arrest for participating in a rally in Minsk, where people protested against new taxes. 
During Summer, in the Belarusian city of Baranovichi, the riot police rushed into the 
lecture of Alexei Sutugi. The subject of the lecture was how to oppose the authorities 
from prison. Almost all those present were detained until evening. On October 12, a local 
court ruled that the materials confiscated at the lecture were extremist.

In October 2017 in the Belarusian city of Grodno the riot police interrupted a lecture of 
the philosopher Pyotr Ryabov. Pyotr Ryabov is sympathetic to anarchists associate 
professor of philosophy at the Moscow State Pedagogical University. He specialises in the 
history of anarchist thought. After the lecture entitled “Informal movement of Belarus 
1991-2010” in Baranovichi, Ryabov was sentenced to 6 days of arrest for “dissemination of 
extremist materials”. After that, the Citizenship and Migration Department of the local 
militia decided to deport Ryabov and barred him from entering the country for 10 years. In 
Moscow, a series of pickets took place against the arrest of Pyotr Ryabov in front of the 
embassy of Belarus.

“The state overestimated my contribution to revolutionary propaganda: several of my 
lectures would have produced less hype than their prohibition. I think that the whole 
thing is in the term “anarchism”. The authorities remember, and the fact that the 
anarchists were condemned for the arson of the Russian embassy in 2010, and the fact that 
the anarchists in many cases led a mass protest against the law on parasitism, “ Ryabov 
said in an interview after his release.

In 2017 anarchists of Belarus were the most active force of protests against the tax on 
parasitism, which the Belarusian authorities wanted to introduce for the unemployed.

News from prisons
The Crimean anarchist Alexander Kolchenko celebrated his 28th birthday in prison where he 
is still kept – despite the recent exchange of prisoners between Ukraine and Russia. On 
his birthday, the anarchists from Ukraine, Czech Republic and Poland held actions at 
airports in solidarity with him.

Kolchenko was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the case of the so-called “Crimean 
terrorists” – he participated in actions against the entry of Russian troops on the 
peninsula, in particular, the arson of the local branch of United Russia and the office of 
the nationalist Russian community of Crimea. In November, the convict was diagnosed with a 
“weight deficit”. At the same time, the FSIN denied him the opportunity to study in 
absentia at a Ukrainian university.

You can write a letter to Alexander Kolchenko at the address: 456612, Chelyabinsk Region, 
Kopeysk, ul. Kemerovskaya, 20, IK-6, detachment 4, Kolchenko Alexander Aleksandrovich.

**

In Mordovia, anarchist Ilya Romanov continues to serve his sentence for terrorism: a 
conviction he acquired after he was injured with fireworks in October 2013. Due to the 
accident, Romanov lost his hand, but still, he was convicted for terrorism and sentenced 
to 10 years in prison.

In April, the ECHR considered one of the complaints of Romanov and awarded him 3,400 Euro 
in compensation for unreasonably long detention during the investigation. However, it is 
unclear how the prisoner will be able to receive this money – all his accounts are blocked 
by the state. The elderly relatives of Romanov, who tried to transfer the money to Ilya 
via the post office, were detained by the police. In May, Romanov was placed in solitary 
for four months, and in July, new terrorist case against him was launched

Ilya Romanov is detained in IK-22 Mordovia, the address: 431130, Mordovia, 
Zubovo-Poliansky district, st. Potma, n. Lepley. Write a letter to him, he will really 
appreciate it.

Finally free
In May 2017, anarchist Alexei Sutuga was released from prison. In September 2014 Sutuga, 
known by the nickname Socrates, was convicted to three years and a month after he 
allegedly took part in a fight in a cafe. The anti-fascist himself did not admit guilt: he 
says that he tried to break the fight, but he did not beat anyone. The victims in the case 
were Russian neo-Nazis.
**
In October 2017, the antifascist from Tomsk, Yegor Alekseev, disappeared before he was due 
to be sentenced for “public calls for extremist activity”, or posting a YouTube video on 
his social media profile. At the moment he is safe in unknown location. According to 
Yegor, he decided to hide from the Russian justice system, fearing to get a conviction 
with a real term of imprisonment.

In early November 2017, historian and anarchist Dmitry Buchenkov escaped from house arrest 
and is currently in undisclosed European country. His escape was possible because he was 
not fit with electronic bracelet due to lack of resources. According to investigators, on 
May 6, 2012, Buchenkov allegedly attacked a policemen.He was charged despite of evidence 
clearly indicating that on the day of alleged attack he wasn’t even present: he was 
visiting his family in other town. The complaint of his arrest and politically motivated 
persecution is directed to the European Court of Human Rights.

This review was prepared by the team of the ABC-Moscow. It is not a complete list of the 
prosecutions of anarchists by Russian state – at the request of some of the comrades, the 
review does not mention all the misadventures of post-Soviet anarchists. If you want to 
help, you can find out how to transfer money for the needs of the ABC Russia on this page .

The collective fighting for the closure of the Black Pavilion, local GUD-Bastion Social 
calls for a mobilization of magnitude on Saturday, March 3 at 14h place Terreaux. Wherever 
this tiny right-wing group is trying to establish itself, mobilizations have been put in 
place. ---- On January 13th, at 73 quai Pierre-Scize, Lyon 5 th , a local " associative " 
called the Black Pavilion. This local is managed by a small group, the Social Bastion. 
---- The Social Bastion is the new denomination chosen by the GUD, a radical right-wing 
movement that has existed since the end of the 1960s. The Gud is known for its street 
violence and its proven links with the neo-Nazi milieu. ---- Many of its activists have 
gone through the prison cell (or are still there) for racist attacks, lgbtphobes[1]or 
towards militants said left.

This movement (Social Bastion) created a few months ago chose as model the neo-Nazi Greek 
Golden Dawn but also the " Casa Pound " Italian.

The Italian Casa Pound is a neo-fascist political group that openly claims the ideology 
and history of fascism (and therefore Mussolini). Its racist ideology can be summed up as 
follows: to help only Italians of Italian origin by opposing them to the immigrants they 
have been for several generations on the territory. Like any fascist movement, this 
discriminatory policy is accompanied by multiple aggression.

It is not possible to remain unresponsive facing this new public place held by the 
far-right radical Lyon. Indeed, other local businesses and managed by other small groups 
(Generation Identitaire for example) are already open especially in the 5 th 
arrondissement. These places create a deleterious atmosphere in the neighborhood for 
residents and traders.

The opening of this local " The Black Pavilion " only reinforces and even amplify this 
situation and multiply the attacks against people who do not correspond to their vision 
racist, sexist, lgbtphobe ... Voices are heard in the 5 th borough to denounce these 
abuses which weigh on the district. We must stand together and act today to close the 
premises that welcomes the Lyon neo-Nazi fringe.

Demonstration on Saturday March 3rd at 2 pm
Place des Terreaux
At the call of the collective for the closure of the Black Pavilion: Libertarian 
Alternative, Coordination of Anarchist Groups, YDG, Young Guard Lyon, JC Lyon, CNT,

" The alliance displayed today in Afrin against the Turkish invasion does not change this 
rivalry ; it results from a compromise that can only be temporary. " ---- Libertarian 
Alternative reproduces the posts of the blog Kurdistan-Autogestion-Revolution where, after 
Arthur Aberlin, engaged in the YPG, now expresses Damien Keller, engaged him in the 
International Battalion of Liberation (IFB). ---- Over the weeks, he will testify to life 
in the IFB, the debates that are going on and the evolution of the revolutionary process 
in the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria. ---- International release Battalion, ---- 
Canton Cizîrê, 1 st March 2018 ---- The entry of Bashar al-Assad's troops into Afrin, to 
reinforce the Kurdish defense against the Turkish invasion, raises many questions. Will 
this end the offensive ? Are the Russians going to put pressure on Erdogan ? Did the SDS 
throw itself into the dictator's arms ? Were they cornered to the point of having no 
choice ? etc.

Above, the self-administration elected officials from Afrin Township on January 23 read a 
statement of resistance to the Turkish invasion. In arms.
To begin, we must measure the weakness of this reinforcement, more symbolic than anything 
else. It was not regular troops of the Syrian army that entered Afrin, but only a convoy 
of 300 to 400 Shiite militiamen (probably ultranationalist, so anti-Kurdish), with the 
red-white-black flag of the Baath party. A 2 e convoy bombed by Turkish artillery, fled to 
Aleppo and Afrin has not reached. For now, that's all. That's not much compared to the 30 
or so thousands of MSF fighters and fighters who defend the township on foot.

As for cohabitation with these pro-Assad militiamen, it is obviously quite tense. As it is 
whenever we have to neighbor, whether in Hassakê, Qamislo or Deir ez-Zor.

Bloody clashes
Since 2011, the " armed peace " between the YPG-YPJ and the regime has been broken several 
times by bloody clashes. That of April 2016 in Qamislo has killed dozens of people. Ditto 
Hassakê, four months later, during clashes that saw the soldiers of Damascus almost driven 
out of the city. As for Deir ez-Zor, the regime's troops took advantage of the Turkish 
attack on Afrin to launch an assault on the SDF on February 8 - an assault that ended in a 
bloody rout for them.

The alliance displayed today in Afrîn facing the Turkish invasion does not change this 
rivalry ; it results from a compromise that can only be temporary.

A few words on Qamislo, the capital of the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria, where 
there is still a war atmosphere, with flags hanging on the roundabouts, discolored 
portraits of Abdullah Ocalan and martyrs (sêhid) of the revolution displayed in the streets.

The memory of the martyrs is very present: we baptize with their name schools, hospitals, 
premises of self-administration ; some businesses display their photos, as well as flags 
of the Turkish and / or Kurdish revolutionary organizations they support.

Traders refuse to pay for our purchases
Some destroyed buildings have not yet been cleared, some are uninhabitable, and 
interrupted shipyards have never restarted. In front of the local employment center, 
dozens of people are looking for work while the reconstruction of the country is hampered 
by the blockade organized by Turkey and its ally in Iraq, the Regional Government of 
Kurdistan.

In the midst of these ruins, schools work. Arab, Kurdish and Assyrian children often share 
the same, and sometimes walk several kilometers to get there.

A ceremony in Qamislo on 14 February for Afrîn defenders fallen in action.
In Qamislo, the regime of Damascus still holds an enclave. Nearby, the YPGs, the regular 
police as well as the regime's army each have their checkpoints. The portraits of Bachar 
el Assad and those of Ocalan sometimes meet, in a strange face-to-face. A war of images, 
with giant portraits shot.

Small shops and workshops are also open, despite the damage: often, parts of their walls 
were ripped to the ground to open passages during street fighting. These traders, who also 
display political posters, it is not uncommon for them to refuse that fighters and 
combatants pay for their purchases, even when we insist.

And then, there is Afrîn: the population lives to the rhythm of the information that comes 
from the battle, the demonstrations of solidarity and the funeral of the combatants and 
fighters who fall.

War, fascism, capitalism, poverty and violence are part of one system. We don't want to 
change this system, we want it gone! ---- Against a politics of war, colonialism and 
imperialism! ---- Germany and other Western countries profit for centuries from the 
colonisation of the world. They still profit from war and genocide, and export weapons to 
conflict regions. When people flee, they are met with racist and sexist state violence. 
---- Against growing racism and fascism! ---- We fight against racism and fascism in the 
streets and in the parliament! We fight against state attempts to criminalize resistance! 
---- Against violence against women*! ---- We fight to end femicide and domestic violence. 
We struggle against rape culture, where violence against women*, non-binary, inter* and 
trans*people is perceived as normal - at work, by state authorities, on the streets, at home.

Against oppression and exploitation!

This society is built on the systematic exploitation of women*: of our labor, our bodies, 
and our spirit. It isolates women* from each other - in prisons, Lagers, workplaces and homes.

No matter how bad a situation of a group of people, women* in this group often have worse 
conditions. To free and liberate ourselves, in a time when hegemonic governments have 
decided to support attacks and fascism around the world, we have no choice but to come 
together and fight back! We have no choice but revolution!

We fight for Justice!

We want to build a society based on communal life and feminist solidarity! Where water and 
land are common goods, not private property!

We fight for our self-determination over our existence, our gender identity, our bodies 
and our spirits!

We will fight and we will win by organizing ourselves and defending ourselves! By 
practicing solidarity with each other!
By organizing International Strikes! By taking the streets!
BY FIGHTING TOGETHER!

COME WITH US TO THE STREETS!

Message: 8






The International Women's Day - celebrated on March 8 - in its early days commemorated the 
demonstrations of American workers who in 1908 demanded workers' rights and voting rights, 
appearing under the slogan of "bread and roses". We want to continue this tradition and 
therefore we appeal to all members and members of the union and people supporting the 
Workers' Initiative for participation in initiatives organized in connection with the 
International Women's Day: Social Women's Congress in Poznan (March 3), 19th Warsaw Manifa 
(March 4) and International Strike Women (March 8). ---- The fight for women's rights and 
gender equality is an integral part of the fight for better working conditions, higher 
wages and worthy income for all: ---- Discrimination and wage inequalities, as a result of 
which women receive lower wages than men, are means of sharing the working class. State 
authorities and capitalists use them as a means to reduce the wages of all employees and 
employees;

Mobbing, sexual harassment and sexual violence are phenomena affecting mainly women, but 
they are part of a wider system of controlling and keeping employees and employees in fear 
and obedience and pacifying workers' protests;

Forcing women to give birth by banning abortion and restricting access to contraception is 
an extreme form of controlling state power over our lives and bodies;

Lack of places in nurseries and kindergartens and high fees for using care facilities are 
a way of transferring reproductive labor to women (giving birth and raising next 
generations of workers and employees), which extends their working time by creating a 
second - unpaid - full time home;

The risk of poverty in the situation of unemployment, motherhood, transition to a pension 
or retirement is a means of forcing female employees and employees to take up low-paid 
jobs and reduce the level of remuneration for all employees.

The struggle for women's rights is therefore part of a wider fight for social justice, and 
as a trade union movement we should and should fight it both in workplaces where we 
operate and support demonstrations, pickets protests of feminist movements on city streets.
