We were informed es placement in custody of a militant of the CGT Educ'action. His arrest followed an altercation with several activists posting, Noisy-le-Sec, leaflets in favor of "Manif for all" on 24 March against marriage rights for homosexual couples. ---- This Saturday, March 23 in custody was extended and liable to prosecution. ---- In the current context of homophobic reaction particularly aggressive, it is an attack against the whole movement for equal rights. ---- His detention under the influence of a complaint of an elected UMP whose positions against the opening of marriage to same-sex couples are notorious gives this case a highly political nature. ---- Alternative libertarian demands his immediate release. ---- Alternative libertarian, March 24, 2013

Cicero and Regina gifts!! ------------------------------------------- VIOLENCE IN THE FIELDS: ROTTEN FRUIT OF THE STATE AND Bourgeoisie "Pinga sweat on hoe the land is blessed." If on one hand the beautiful verses of the plot 2013 School of Samba States Vila Isabel - unfortunately financed by a company of agribusiness - Sing importance and the effort of the worker rural, establishing the school as a champion Carnival of Rio de Janeiro, the second negligence, cowardice and impunity stun these same characters with blood two MST, Field of Goytacazes / RJ, murdered by explorers who finance the misery and hunger. We put the Government on account of negligence that claimed the lives of two more fighters field. Not surprisingly the mediocre at best in the Dilma Government relation to the promotion of Agrarian Reform in country, even lower than the performance negligible in Fernando Henrique. Still less did the Government State of Rio de Janeiro and the mafia Garotinho, which controls the municipal policy Fields of Goytacazes city where the brutal murders occurred. The neglect of which we speak can be observed in 150 000 families are camped under black plastic, undergoing poor housing conditions, without access to sanitation, rural education, roads and electricity. There are no resources available to these farmers invest in production, there is no access to political as PRONAF (National Program Strengthening Family Agriculture), not 's rural technical assistance. In this situation abandonment, the land is only able to produce insecurity and suffering. Cowardice, as well characterized in shots the back that targeted the militant assassinated feature is the exploiters, damn landlords, colonels century XXI. These people, if they can be considered as such, are used for every means to achieve their goals: buy the state, people buy without character, the war between finance the poorest and the cult of capitalism. The These government grants all rights, incentives and subsidies for millionaires produce food contaminated by pesticides. According to S?rgio Sauer, Rapporteur of the Right Human on Earth, the Territory and Power (Platform Dhesca Brazil), "Conflicts in the field, unfortunately, that result the assassination of leaders and peasants, are the result of two key factors: the absurd concentration of land and impunity. " Historically, actual field Brazil is a deep concentration of land ownership. The data of Agricultural Census 2006 IBGE come reaffirm this concentration: while large landowners hold 45% of the land, small farmers, real providers of food, beans and rice, occupy only 2.4% of the country's land. The huge orders for land can be seen through the fact that there are at least 3.7 million landless families in Brazil. Impunity, as could not be otherwise, constitutes the contribution of the judiciary for violence in the countryside. Many cases of unsolved crimes and responsible untouched. To illustrate, in February this year was acquitted a defendant accused of murder leadership landless in Paran? - in a trial held 10 years after the crime was committed. Justice is not punishes the guilty and protects either innocent. They were not included in witness protection program, a couple was killed after tappers denounce illegal logging in Par? in 2011. Completing the scene, in the legislative large landholders and explorers field is strengthened by a countertop ruralista reactionary and corrupt. These are scoundrels who dictate the direction of policy Brazilian environmental and rural, there is seen that exercised decisive role for approval New Forest Code. The workbench ruralista is supported even by parties Based allied government (PT, PC do B, PMDB, PSB). The struggle of MST militants killed Campos was greater than the struggle for earth. They fought against Batista, who small farmers expelled from their land to build their empire tropical; against slavery, even as This absurdly in the Fields Goytacazes; against the sugarcane mill owners and their jagunfos, and especially in favor of a decent life in the field that includes production of healthy food for population. Even with all these guidelines and CLAIMS, the Raptor's corporate press is organized to expose the society the lie that the deaths were the result the movement of internal conflicts, thus omitting the list of crimes entire chain of violence that comes from concentration of land ownership to the lack of basic in the settlements and in the field. Thus, we have no more choice but we organized front to be offensive capitalism and never keep quiet while there extermination and exploitation the working class. It's time to fight, to build popular power in permanently workplaces, in the slums, in field of study spaces and all places where there are oppressors and oppressed. It is in the organization and rebellion against injustice that makes a strong people because we can not accommodate long as there fallen comrades. For the poor and oppressed / the world, all the time are fighting! We would like FARJ of these fellows, Cicero Guedes and the Regina Santos, could still be on our side, but now part of the land that both struggled to cultivate. Their bodies will be seeds of a better society, egalitarian, fraternal and against capital. Their stories of fight the culture that will make these seeds germinate. To these heroes, our honor and our struggle. We will not rest never until the land and the means of production of all are! ORGANIZATION AND PEOPLE POWER BY LAND, LABOR AND FREEDOM!! -------------------------------------------------- - For our dead, not a minute of silence! A lifetime of struggle!

(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #225 - Health: Gynecology in danger (fr)
Gynecology is a French specificity. Thanks to her, the life expectancy of women has improved significantly: early detection of cancer in women using contraceptives individualized ... but she is still in danger. ---- Too few jobs are open in gynecology: thirty in 2012 against one hundred and thirty in 1986! If this number does not increase significantly in the coming years is the eventual disappearance of gynecology in France. The possibility for women to entrust their gynecological specialist is trained to do and questioned, and with it the prevention. ---- Yet it is through this monitoring that the number of cervical cancer of the uterus was divided by four in twenty years, mortality halved and there is a decrease in mortality for breast cancer with the best survival rate. It is also thanks to gynecology and women can receive adequate contraception. What are the policies? The Defence Committee of the gynecology was received Monday, October 8th at the Ministry of Health, where he expressed his extreme concern about the health of women. For the moment no increase in the number of medical gynecologists are planned. Again socialists continue the policy right and sacrifice the health of women hiding behind the Regional Health Agencies (ARS) created by the government Sarko to manage and administer health [ 1 ]. It is they who are in charge of the internal number of positions, from the recognition of needs. What would be a technical and not political! While it is nonetheless a political will that not give the health of a substantial budget. A decline in social The ARS and 0.5 consider medical gynecologist for women 5000 in Auvergne, or 0.8 medical gynecologist for 5000 women in Ile-de-France are sufficient, according to the recommendations of the College of Physicians. However, according to the National Observatory of the demographics of the health professions, the current does not allow more than a quarter of women of childbearing age to have access to see their specialist [ 2 ]. According to the INED and Inserm this time, about 20-24, "the gynecological has also declined among young women: in 2010, 12.2% of them reported having no monitoring usual, against 6.9% in 2000. " And the situation is likely to worsen, as almost half of the gynecologists (48%) will retire in the next five years. Another social regression for women! Agnes (AL Toulouse) [ 1 ] The Act of 21 July 2009 on hospital reform and on patients, health and territories, created the Regional Health Agencies (art. 118).

(en) Chile, Statement of Libertarian Students Front of Iquiq in support of Mejillones dockworkers (ca)
Faced with the paralyzing the Mejillones port workers, solidarity and action of most of the country dockworkers joined in Port Union of Chile, as Libertarian Students Front-Section Iquique, we stated: ---- In the last week, we have witnessed a clear example of struggle and solidarity from Chile dockworkers. Given this, and students committed to the interests of all the exploited, we can not be oblivious to the struggle they are giving dockworkers Mejillones, which require minimum rest and sustenance in power. Specifically, their demands have translated into half time snack, a casino to develop that activity, and while the work is constructed, a $ 4,000 per shift to allow them to afford lunch after a heavy day's work. They demand an improvement in communications with the company UltraPort, which is known for its hegemony in the port sector in the north and its repeated failures and violations of labor rights established. Given these facts, and given the limited media coverage by the mainstream media, we express our full support to the port of Mejillones peers and the rest of the country, who through a concrete expression of class unionism, have achieved reduce legal obstacles set by the Labor Plan Jos? Pi?era in Dictatorship, and that, to this day, remain in place through the consent of the political class in general. In turn, we can not ignore the great gesture of solidarity that are giving the port of Iquique companions, who have paralyzed the port as a whole. In this regard, strongly sympathize with the gesture given by fellow port city and urge all students committed to the interests of the oppressed, to support this exemplary struggle. At the same time, we extend the call to all the people of Chile, that by following the steps taken in recent years, still has a long way to go in the arduous task of unifying our class, with this situation, a clear opportunity to strengthen linkages between different sectors in struggle. No big changes without a great struggle! FIGHT WITHOUT ANY SOLIDARITY! We continue to build decent people SOVEREIGN! Libertarian Students Front of Iquique Related Link: http://fel-chile.org/?p=450
Britain, Anarchist Federation bulletin - RESISTANCE #149 March 2013
Contents ---- Something in the Air: Scandals, Sex-pests, Corruption and Cover-ups ---- Hundreds Protest to Support the Halesowen Four ---- Sussex Staff and Students Fight Privatisation ---- Paisley Lecturers Strike Against Cuts ---- Coming Up: Barnet Spring Demonstration ---- Free Palfreeman! ---- Toronto Airport Fuels Dissent ---- Prisoner Support on the Web --- 1. Something in the Air: Scandals, Sex-pests, Corruption and Cover-ups ---- There?s a stink of corruption hanging in the air. From the recent cover-up of Clegg and his cronies to disguise the actions of the sexual harasser Lord Rennard, to the scandals rocking the Catholic Church in Scotland and in the inner Vatican circles and Vatican Bank we have seen how deeply corrupt the whole system of government, state, church, big business and the media are. Almost every day new scandals and cover-ups are revealed. We have seen the phone hacking and bribing of police and officials by News International journalists. We have seen the cover-up of the predatory activities of Jimmy Saville and others at the BBC. We have seen supermarkets scurrying to distance themselves from the horsemeat scandal. We have seen the Royal Bank of Scotland forced to shell out ?390 million over its Libor rate rigging. We have seen Tesco forced to pay out ?6.5 million over rigging of dairy prices. We have seen the appalling treatment of patients at the Mid-Staffs Hospital (and take it as read that that is the situation prevailing at other hospitals with 9 more hospital trusts to be investigated). Revelation after revelation is appearing at an accelerated rate. This is an indication of how unfit for use the present system is. As austerity bites, as the Bedroom Tax attacks the working class, as benefits for the disabled are under attack, as the beleaguered health service is eyed up for further privatisation, as the Coalition prepares for the possibility of further military adventures in Africa and possibly in Syria following the fiascos in Afghanistan and Iraq, now is the time to consider that a new world is possible: a world based on equality and solidarity, where the wealth of the world would be shared out, where there would be no more wars, no more famine, no more exploitation. Mass actions saw the collapse of regimes in Eastern Europe in recent decades, and more recently the Arab Spring brought down regimes in Tunisia and Egypt. That struggle is ongoing, and so are the mobilisations in Western Europe. Surely now here in Britain, we can start creating movement to sweep away this rotten system, can?t we? Education Workers in Revolt! 2. Hundreds Protest to Support the Halesowen Four On Saturday 26th January over 200 people took to the streets of Halesowen to demand the reinstatement of four members of the Maths department who had been sacked. On a cold day, with snow on the ground, there was a fantastic array of banners and placards showing how far people had come to express solidarity with the Halesowen four. Music and speeches made for a carnival atmosphere as workers, students and members of the local community assembled outside the gates of Halesowen College. The reason that these sackings have caught so many peoples? attention was highlighted in many of the speeches. Educators realize that if these unprecedented dismissals, based solely on student outcomes, are allowed to go unchallenged then no teacher is safe. Any college, school or university can ignore local and national agreements and tear up contracts because they can apply any arbitrary measure to isolated sets of student results, ignoring other outcomes that may not suit their purpose, in order to justify sacking staff. This notion of sacking at will is not only a very real fear in education but across all areas of working life. 3. Sussex Staff and Students Fight Privatisation Following a demonstration of over 300 staff and students in opposition to the privatisation of services at Sussex University; a large group of people occupied the university conference centre on February 12th. In May 2012, the University announced its unilateral decision to sell off most services provided on campus, over 10% of its workforce, to private investors. This announcement came with no student consultation, and next to no consultation with the 235 workers concerned. Since then, management has failed to offer any more than a series of ?negotiations? and piecemeal Q&A sessions, only after repeated requests by students and staff, and the conclusions of which it repeatedly proceeded to ignore. The workers and students demand: A complete halting of the ongoing bidding process and end to the entire privatization program, effective immediately. A commission of students, staff and lecturers to be formed. With full remit to re-evaluate procedures and channels for holding management accountable as well as reviewing and extending student and workers? say in these decisions. An end to the intimidation that senior and middle management have used to deter students and workers for airing and acting on their concerns. 4. Paisley Lecturers Strike Against Cuts Over 200 lecturers at Reid Kerr College, Paisley, started a series of rolling strikes on February 27th. The lecturers are fighting attacks on their wages and conditions. Around 40 pickets covered the four college gates on a freezing cold day. Reid Kerr, like all FE colleges in Scotland, faces massive attacks. The Scottish government wants another ?30 million worth of cuts this year by merging colleges. Reid Kerr is to be merged with James Watt and Clydebank colleges. Workers at both these colleges supported the Reid Kerr strike. Strikers plan a further strike for two days for each of the following two weeks and a three-day strike each week until June if there is no movement from the management. 5. Coming Up: Barnet Spring Demonstration Saturday, 23rd March Meet at 11 am at Finchley Central Station March starts at 12 noon Barnet Alliance are building towards a demonstration on the 23rd of March in Barnet. They aim to turn it into an all-London event, since Barnet is the flagship of the government annihilation of local services, running under the name One Barnet. The scheme involves handing over 90% of the council services to private companies (Capita is the preferred bidder with the Tory council) nailed into a 10-15 year contract, worth around ?1bn. This means massive lay-offs of the local work force, major cuts to services and moving services out of the borough. You are all invited to participate, and to spread the word. For further details contact Barnet Alliance for Public Services. Email: barnetalliance4publicservices@gmail.com Twitter: @BarnetAlliance Tel: 07534 407703 Or visit: www.barnetalliance.org 6. Free Palfreeman! Australian prisoner Jock Palfreeman, currently serving a 20-year sentence in Sofia, Bulgaria for defending two Roma boys from a racist mob, was on hunger strike this January. The Director of the Central Sofia Prison had ordered another punishment measure because of Jock?s activist work as chairman of the Bulgarian Prisoners Association. Due to this punishment Jock is now not allowed to finish his education. After 30 days Jock ended his hunger strike, having lost 20 kilograms, because he got an answer from the prison administration. However, they will only allow him to study in a Bulgarian university, not in a foreign one. Bulgarian universities do not accept prisoners as students, so in practice he is not permitted to continue his studies. However, he can now apply in the courts against the decision. The issue is not resolved, so please continue to write letters of complaint to the Ministry of Justice in Bulgaria.

Toronto Airport Fuels Dissent Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and members of the anarchist Common Cause Toronto joined picket lines in support of striking refuelers employed by Porter Fixed Base Operations at the Toronto Island airport. The strike has been bravely fought by 22 workers fed up with unsafe working conditions and low wages. Workers currently earn just 12 dollars an hour. A recent picket saw IWW and Common Cause members come down to the lines in the bitter cold. Workers stopped cars going into staff parking lots for over 10 minutes. Delays this long are rare on picket lines today, with standard delays being just 2 to 3 minutes. In addition on January 26 a large number of anarchists, IWW members and others, with encouragement from the striking workers, blocked the only road into the airport causing serious disruption. It remains to be seen if or when Porter will come to the negotiating table, but what is clear is that when they do the IWW and Common Cause will have a real voice with the workers to help ensure the refuelers? demands are met in full. 8. Prisoner Support on the Web Books to Prisoners Haven Distribution buys books for inmates who are on courses in prison. They supply dictionaries to inmates whose first language is not English and send to prisoners with dyslexia books on improving reading and writing skills. havendistribution.org.uk Green & Black Cross G&BC was set up to support autonomous social struggles.

This is Anarchist Communism. We see today?s society as being divided into two main opposing classes: the ruling class which controls all the power and wealth, and the working class which the rulers exploit to maintain this. By racism, sexism and other forms of oppression, as well as war and environmental destruction the rulers weaken and divide us. Only the direct action of working class people can defeat these attacks and ultimately overthrow capitalism. As the capitalist system rules the whole world it?s destruction must be complete and world wide. We reject attempts to reform it such as working through parliament and national liberation movements (like the IRA) as they fail to challenge capitalism itself. Unions also work as a part of the capitalist system, so although workers struggle within them, they will be unable to bring about capitalism?s destruction unless they go beyond these limits. Organisation is vital if we?re to beat the bosses, so we work for a united anarchist movement and are affiliated to the International of Anarchist Federations.

(en) Anarkio.net: A-Infos #18 - Brief history of unionism (pt)
In most cases studies on syndicalism in Brazil, almost always start in an abbreviated form of anarcho-syndicalism, when mentioning its existence, in a dizzying rise and fall, often attributing to themselves anarcho-syndicalists such decline, enclosing the period with the decree of the Get?lio Vargas CLT, which was the final stop on free trade unionism in the country and the beginning of a period of over 70 years of fascist organization in the middle of work. ---- Highlighted in these studies, however, the formation of CUT and CGT, both derived from discussions and cracks of paths that unionism should tread to advance workers' struggles. In our analysis, we believe that this historic building meets the partisan interests in order to reduce the strength of anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian practices that marked its 30-year life of workers in Brazil. It is a grotesque record, which distorts and obliterates the Memory of social movements and workers. Let addition, there are several theories that attempt to erase the existence of anarcho-syndicalism and give unionism revolutionary another connotation than anarchist, but socialists and other aspects ideological minorities who were and acted without problems within the revolutionary syndicalism, basic anarchist as shown in historical documents, newspapers and letters of the period. Seek to isolate the anarcho-syndicalist thought as a museum piece the heads of these bizarre invented "the Illuminati institutional left. " Given these we can only revisionisms with all respect, keep fighting those fellows, many murdered by the state repression of service interests of capital. Trade unionism in Brazil originates with the end of slavery and immigration, bringing experiences worker organization of mainly Italian and Spanish. We have here a case of change of working arrangements, what about a deeper analysis reveals that have far more in common than you might believe. The labor, slave labor was becoming increasingly difficult to obtain as it pushes the enclosure abolitionist, translated into an escalation of laws aimed to reduce and eliminate slave labor gradually. Allied to these laws, Britain decree in 1845, the "Aberdeen Bill" which was the practice of attacking and imprisoning boats of slave trade, bringing much of the price Africans. For a while there was still trafficking internal, but with tougher laws in force, the labor- slave labor became too expensive. With the decline of the viability of the use of hand labor slave in the country, one of the solutions was to use Hand workforce employed mostly immigrant. One can not say that it was a hand labor more Qualified that Africans, once came just perform the same work as the Africans already were, initially working in the plantations. It is an illusion and believe it's a wonder why it was not wage hand-to-work existing in the African country? Understanding the extent of large plantations Coffee is easy to understand that much more was needed workers, the cost of bringing these immigrants from their countries was much smaller than give the Africans a living wage structure, since nothing had. The omission of government and contempt for farmers with Africans and their descendants, led to the forming outskirts of cities, the first favelas of Brazil. The option by using immigrants was basically an option economic, because even if you opt for hand- of African labor employed, there would be enough using hand also seek labor abroad. Whereas hand to bring African labor would be much more expensive because they should bring them in human conditions (no more ships in the dark "Slave"), there were no boats under appropriate conditions between Africa and South America The situation was different between Europe and South America, with regular routes ships with the minimal conditions to bring families whole, was the natural choice for the latter. But there much to study to understand this period of indeed what occurred and what paths. The point is that with immigration, became the labor relations. In principle, many of these workers went to the coffee plantations where the exploitation of farmers was immense, creating huge friction. The large farmers still accustomed to slavery, authoritarian attitudes kept on hand labor employment, which leads to many abandon their fields and go to work in the cities. We must remember that it is a very prosperous for coffee, the largest merchandise export country, generating much wealth, as to be politicians directly linked to the grower sector. With this prosperity huge influence on a part of European industrialization, solve form the first factories, what is considered by some economists, the Brazilian late industrialization. This implementation is mill plants of low cost, small and Replacement of commodities. Nevertheless needed labor-wage labor. Many immigrants, already familiar with the mode of production industrial and factory floor would form this labor- works. But equally as farms, exploitation exaggerated on workers, led us to in organizing resistance groups, trade unions, to defend the rampant exploitation by employers. Salientarmo it is very important because if for This is still many images of military dictatorship and the impact it in the middle of workers, on the other hand, little is remembered about the authoritarian period of Old Republic was and how cruel this period to the recent unions. It must be stressed that the issues related to work were treated as if police. There was legislation and working governments had no concern with the exploited and oppressed. All measurements government for the period were of repression against workers. One for instance, was the Law Repression of Anarchism, 1921 by Pessoa. Other repressive measures were trapping fields concentration as in the middle of the Clevel?ndia Amazon, the deportation of the elements foreign subversives; disclosure of blacklists with names of workers considered agitators; constant invasion and police chase in the spaces union and frequent breakers in graphic workers (jamming), preventing the circulation of union stuff. But turning to newspapers period, we have many cases of persecution and murders ordered by bosses. Workers persecuted, exploited to maximum working hours of 12, 14 and 16 hours were able to organize themselves to face such abuses. When we write workers we refer not only to men but women and children who made up the workforce in period. The Brazilian Workers Confederation (COB) was created in 1906, given the advancement of the organization performed by workers. Considering the strong repression, not only was a important milestone, but showed the ability organizational and free workers, many coming from anarchism. In developing this revolutionary syndicalism, associations of resistance had commitments the education of fellows and their sons, Modern Schools (secular and rational) inspired by Francisco Ferrer. Boxes were Greve raised to support the families of the strikers. Also contributed to medical help and in case of bereavement, had support the family realized from contributions of each syndicated simple, without charge, without mandatory. The process union itself was highly educator and preparing associated with a good life being and freedom, bases for human emancipation. The most important thing in all this is that no separating social struggles, economic and political. All was one movement of class struggle, of confrontation direct with the powerful. We can write that social movements in this period were coordinated, united through struggle that anarcho-syndicalist contemplated the breadth and comprehensiveness of the fight emancipatory. It would be strange to speak of this period social movements because there was no separate partisan prevalent as we thought Now, which led to a "specialization" of the struggles and fragmentation of social movements. The general strikes, work stoppages were common and important practical education and the struggle between workers. Stand the General Strikes of 1917 and 1919, which is considered the largest strikes in Brazil to date, the extent and impact of downtime society. On the other lada, introducing the idea of ??a party workers, laborers emerge with the advent the Russian Revolution, which by a knowledge of what occurred and the consequences of the counter-revolution Bolshevik, led to form the Communist Party, which soon begin to compete with unions anarchists, with the orientation of the coordinates Moscow. In this situation, anarcho-syndicalism faces three classic enemies: the employers, the state and party communist. Weakened by constant attacks and persecutions by these enemies, still manages to hold, eg, in 1934, there were over 50 Unions associated with the Workers Federation of S?o Paulo (FOSP) and performed the Battle of Cathedral Square, confronting fundamentalist and troops of the Armed Forces (the PM period). But anarcho-syndicalism worn by repression, would still have to confront the dictatorship of Get?lio Vargas that was the height of repression against the movement of workers against the free trade unions. Having inspiration in the fascism of Mussolini decreed Vargas a sequence of steps that would cause impacts terrible in the middle and revolutionary union free. The starting with the need to have an authorization State to operate and regulate a union. The then arrested unionists considered subversive and closed all unions that did not conform to new legislation and opened new unions profile corporatist, fascist supervised by the State. Another milestone of dismantling unions revolutionaries, was the enactment of free CLT, a straitjacket fascist that lasts until today. Enacted in May 1, 1943, regulates the work in the country for satisfy the interests of capital, with the state through Ministry of Labour, his faithful squire. That also reconciles Organization guidelines International Labour Organization (ILO), an arm of capital international organization within the United Nations (UN). It's easy to imagine why, after 67 years, and the CLT practices are steeped in fascist organization Brazilian labor. The unfolding of this story can understand and comprehend contemporary unionism that all unions formed from reforms institutional structures, were and are bound to being instruments, transmission belts of Fascist corporatism, gagging workers ballast for keeping the capitalist model work. Let us look at the formation of the Central Workers (CUT) to illustrate and justify what expose. In the process of political opening, a way that military found to transfer slowly, the authorities had confiscated in 1964, and ensure that all they had done might not be capable of future cases, as the Amnesty Law, which served tortured and torturers, creating resentment and issues that still need to be resolved. The process of political opening softened the rigid dictatorial system, providing the conditions for social movements began again to organize. That that occurred in the union movement. Were raised documents across the country through state meetings and that led to the First National Conference Class Working (CONCLAT), bringing together the most diverse groups linked issues of labor, Where did a Commission pro-Central Unica dos Workers, leading to Congress Class Working in 1983, where he finally emerges CUT. This path was not direct and unambiguous, there discussions, disagreements and separations, which would give more late formation CGT (1986). As we described, during this period the left institutional formed by Catholic sectors, PT, PCdoB, MR8 and other actors so hypocritical politicians tried to print a paper the new center, something that had not, and populism extending up today. Created aiming to break with the and corporatist fascist model, focusing on concepts that signaled by a revolutionary syndicalism in practice has become a central bureaucratic institutionalized and reformist. As we mentioned previously, in Treasury building, the history of trade unionism in Brazil revolutionary practice of the early twentieth century was completely ruled out, leaving the new central use some slogans of effect, as Lenin had done in Russian Revolution to attract workers and betrays them later. Not only the speeches and propaganda made by "leaders" are in stark CUT mismatch with its practice reformist and pro-state, As the structure that remains critical, and the largest "Trade union in the country." We need not extend this text the history of other unions. All have more or less populist speeches, some even more radical, but all of reformist practices, bureaucratic government and receiving sums of their relationship organic with the state. The union tax, tax, logo mandatory drains annually and encourages workers maintaining the current system corporatist union. Unions today Every union that seeks legality, will be subjecting the logic model time Getulio though we have some small advances, roughly Similarly, the subordination of the Ministry of Labour is huge. The union fight is done primarily by cool lawyers. Some still try to point within that spectrum some different practices, as scabs / white plate What are complicit with the system and practice a result of unionism and labor conciliator. Not There is a deepening of the issues of workers, remained superficial and always seeking the path of According to the employer. It is seen as an extension of the employer work in harmony. Moreover, there are those who practice a corporate unionism, seeking above all, resolve and generate gains for the category in which they are linked detriment of the others. It's what we consider a unionism "selfish", which sees only its own cause and only seeks to satisfy the interests of its category. A especially result of unionism. We practice trade union said "resistance" with a bias radical and a discourse of "class struggle", which uses the union structure to maintain a power struggle a political class and the state apparatus in marxist?ides molds. But there is no confusion, if maintains the official union structure, seek legality by recognizing the State which control aspire to practice programs supposedly "revolutionary". And finally, the revolutionary unions. And it is by a simple question: are constructed without consent of the State, without the blessing of the boss, seeking the legitimacy of fact among the workers, ignoring existing structures addicted: no a board made no union dues, no union officials, there is no structure of privileges, the construction work is all and according to the words of the International: "The emancipation of the oppressed and exploited is work of their own oppressed and exploited. " In this sense, contrasts with the other union practices, using the means union to favor their own interests. The revolutionary syndicalism is anarcho-signer unionism, the COB, 1906, reborn today with the proposals of large fight, leading to have a much greater interaction with social movements, incidentally, bringing the concept union struggles of our people in order to strengthen all social struggles. Searching for each the composition of a worker collective energy of a union truly free, legitimate, by well known revolutionary being and freedom, the slogans of yesteryear revived the fervor of the fight.

Promise Kept: Revision Policy (RGPP) the right, it's over. Instead, the modernization of public action (Map) must " improve the quality of public services in a more constrained . " In other words, do more with less. The difference with RGPP? The name change especially. ---- The government's fiscal policy Ayrault supports the business, and the note is salty, twenty billion on behalf of the tax credit community employment. Will be paid by the working classes. In addition to an increase in VAT (from 19.6 to 20.0% for the standard rate) which had not been proposed by Holland during the presidential campaign, it is sixty billion economy that will Map allow to carry out all of the quinquennium. While the principle of non-replacement of an official two was abandoned. It remains that each department was invited last December 19 to prepare audits (forty public policies will be evaluated in 2013) that warrant future cuts. As at the time of the RGPP. The plane is made for planing " We must combine savings and efficiency. If you say plane say efficiency, indeed our country will not be in a good position , "said on Europe 1 Marylise Lebranchu, Minister of State Reform and Public Administration. The austerity and competitiveness as registers (less political than accountants) of public action supporting the pretext of budgetary savings. They are ideologically consistent with the transfer of government debt and payment by local authorities (in the form of block grants payment diminished functioning) and more generally by the workers. Specifically, it will reorganizations and mergers of services. They will necessarily result, job losses and use of non-holders in the public, undermining the status will increase while the public-private partnerships. The plane on the government to end the Map will be completed accordingly at its other end by a plane on the service actually rendered to the population, still less egalitarian. In the wake of Welsh report [ 1 ], the decline of public policy reflects the new role for the State in the context of neoliberal domination. It is to divert an ever greater social wealth in favor of the lucrative pension and global finance. That is why the department planned march in Seine-Saint-Denis on 17 January and the national day of action on 31 January for the public represent a minimum two important steps to reverse the balance of power.

Disclose groups, collectives, initiatives, like experi?nciase that have relevance in the anarchist movement, anarchist regardless which side are aligned. ----- Barricade Libertarian - Liberacana Barikado (LoBo) ---- The Barricade Libertarian resists and tries to organize ideas according to some builders / destroyers. ----- It is a concept individual / collective Advertising and Direct Action whose intention is to keep the information up to date and libertarian knowledge and practice it. The libertarian propaganda is not limited to fabricate critical texts or apologetic. ---- Advertising libertarian attitude and goes through with it is that we act. Our policy is contrary to the party and its bureaucracies as well as any state. ---- To raise this Barricade Libertarian, Fenikso Nigra (Since 2005) we need to get organized and have some principles, let's think about it. The points below will help it: 1) The barricades used to block actions repression and violence of groups and / or individux * s who like to oppress and exploit. They can be erected in any place and time. So do not be afraid to raise or join one, because they are always fair and justice bothers and is often illegal. But if it is legitimate, that "Legality" does not matter! 2) A barricade is made of all that is hand. Gather everything you find it useful to build a barricade ... and do! There is no matter that can be used. Reinvent new uses to old things, destroy the meanings and build new the Barricade. If you do not get good, redo, not have to worry every time it destroys a barricade, another is built. 3) There is no plan, this is the plan. A barricade is and will be pure improvisation. Be wary of any that seems obscure or too complicated. A barricade is simple: a lot of things to stop the enemy. And that's not is complicated. 4) Any barricade should be a line defense and simultaneously ahead of a possible attack. To distinguish from one another, it is necessary to inform and learn always. Ready! It's all there to build the base a barricade. Each one adds or takes a some material on these points. When more people participate, the stronger, Our extensive and resistant barricade becomes. To do so does not need authorization nobody, not his conscience rebel! Hugs libertarians! If you thins with these ideas, practice them at BARRICADES! Created in 2003, updated in 2012. Contact: lobo@riseup.net Fenikso Nigra (Since 2005) Writing about anarchism can organize in sound strange, but for lack of knowledge this weirdness happens. Every anarchist understands that is fundamental to organize a society free, because without it, we are doomed to management of the state. If we do not organize the State parties and the ruling classes will, as they currently control society and making it favorable to its interests that are not the society as a whole, making it hostage its arbitrariness. Organize not form a party, or delegate authority and create a bureaucracy, because it is contrary to our principles. No authority, so there are no bosses, leaders, or any definition of control. Or all participating or not. The commitment of each is intrinsic, is Within each. Organizing is inherent anarchists, since with the participation of all, is need to combine as it happens, as each activity will be done and who takes action. One or multiple, independent in each time it happens or always. What is important is the set all manifest it in the way that best understand maintaining the balance between individual freedom and the collective commitment. For more considering our priorities, will tend to selfishness, an essential part of liberal thought and very helpful in today's society the economic and social model of capitalism. Our Organization To make clear what we do or left undone and strengthen our relationships anarchists, we will establish our principles and line of action. 1-That the Fenikso Nigra is a union of anarchists and supporters for the development of anarchism in general. We respect and will respect each strand anarchist, a As we believe the lack of "true" "right" or any single form of dogma; 2-Each participant, within their means, assumes the responsibilities necessary for development of the union. All respond by our union; In the three-met according to the needs union. Decisions shall be by consensus all. In case of disagreement, the good judgment of all in consensus. 4-The basic principles are freedom union with full accountability and justice correspondent anacionalista egalitarian, since we have no homeland or nation; 5-In the fight for the exploited and oppressed worldwide; 6-Participation and admission will be by acceptance the 5 points above statement in our meeting.
(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #225 - Elections in very small enterprises: An election for nothing (fr)
In December 2012 were the first elections in very small enterprises (VSEs). They have resulted in a low turnout, a corollary of low union density and an election which gave no new rights to employee-es. ---- In almost all companies employed fewer than eleven-es, there is no staff delegates or committee business: it is not mandatory, so necessarily the owners do not. In December, for the first time, these workers could vote for the union of their choice.The very low turnout (10.38%) is not a surprise. These companies are deserts union. The trade union movement, locked for years in what he thought to be bastions bears a heavy responsibility for the desertion of this sector. But the first reason is the repression against those who try to unionisation. The absence of representative institutions, and on legal protection they entail, weighs. And this is one of the major flaws of this election: it gave no new rights to employee-es, created no staff representative or trade union rights. Its sole purpose was to meet the obligations of the law on the representativeness of 2008. Another major difference with professional elections: in the latter, are employee-vote to select spokespersons who are accountable to their mandate. There they had the choice between acronyms, "Marks union" somehow! Numerous failures making access difficult vote did not improve participation: voter approximate random internet voting, postal voting material received late, etc.. To develop an implementation If we refer only to national organizations, the scores are as follows: 32.99% for CGT, 21.51% for the CFDT, FO 17.03%, 8.21% for Unsa, 7, 29% for the CFTC, 5.31% for Partners, 2.67% for the Autonomous Confederation of Labour (CAT), 2.59% for the GSC and 2.38% for the CNT. Power relations are essentially the same as in union elections and are not unrelated to the number of unionized workers in each organization. It should be noted that the Corsican Workers Union, the General Union of Workers of Guadeloupe and Guyana Workers Union confirmed their first places in Corsica, Guadeloupe and French Guiana. In the aftermath of the election, unionism is not more prevalent in TPE. But there is the real issue! If the campaign has hardly motivated many union collective basis, however, it has led to a resurgence of activity of local unions or inter-departmental to these companies. We have a role to play: to continue this momentum, broadening support, to ensure that trade unions in which we advocate translated into action reaffirmed the priority of one congress (the CGT and Solidarity in particular) development sectors in the most precarious and least unionized. Impose new rights for these employee-es, involve them in the union local support their struggles ... Make unionism! Mouldi (AL Transcom)
(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #225 - School timetables: Peillon tinker school (fr)
The "refounding School" proclaimed loudly by Vincent Peillon proves a masquerade more. In many aspects, continuity with previous policies, All?gre in Chatel, is obvious. Staff of National Education will mobilize they provided? ---- One of the greatest sleight-of-Password government is to swallow his so-called "priority to education." But can we talk about priority when does not even 8000 posts, only 10% of the 80,000 jobs lost in five years under the National Education Sarkozy? When one finds ministry is to provide a substitute for youth employment with the "jobs of the future teachers," all for 900 euros a month? When insecure of Education can not see the shadow of a massive tenure profile is? And the list could be extended! ---- closures for classes ---- This overhaul, cobbled together in a hurry, really hard to convince both the word itself is from the policy. On school timetables, the hiatus is overwhelming. The children will have to go back to school on Wednesday morning, continuing in most municipalities, to stay up to 16 h 30 the other day, the lunch break is extended. And this "revolution" was imposed on the grounds that children have overloaded weeks? For teachers in any case, the thing is heard: they are asked to work one morning back again without lowering their amplitude work elsewhere (and of course without upgrading their salaries). Not to mention that we are very far from a real reflection on school timetables in the context of a school emancipatory. In secondary schools, grants are coming cruel: the means are not lost back and working conditions, severely degraded, will continue to affect the lives of staff and students. Faced with the nonsense of the government, the largest union of education, FSU plays dithering. Should be "constructive", "critical", "offensive"? It depends sectors, trades and departments. If the level of the national machinery is the wait dominates in vocational schools, trade unions FSU, South CGT called joint strike on January 31. The ministry has decided to decentralize some of its powers, which threatens many closures of classes and sections. On school timetables to Paris, SNUIPP-FSU is a party to the Inter-built broad mobilization. Other examples exist, and it is on these mobilizations, still sparse, and South-CGT ?duc'action Education and would like to support the struggle to engage at the national level. Exceptional mobilization Paris on 22 January, with 90% of teachers of first-degree strike and demonstration in 3000, shows a significant response is possible, leading beyond union activists.

(en) Anarkio.net: The revolution begins with education. (pt)
Knowledge is a powerful weapon which must be disseminated as widely as possible. What interests us most is that every individual develops awareness and through her ??ability to analyze, reflection and action. Ignorance only serves the powerful! ---- institutional But education has become an obligatory reference and dictates the form of moral and political people. There is an inequality in the educational process. There are popular models that cares more about the results. MEC's ??efforts in this direction are changing the form of evaluation, leveling down the averages of students. This is important because it is necessary to say that there is a workforce that has performed the steps and obtained the certificates attesting that. Of course, to make a more accurate analysis it is clear that they are only elementary knowledge, no depth, no quality no. In contrast, educational areas with the highest degree of preparation and having a clear goal in an authoritarian society, so hierarchical. It is forming a group leader in several areas and that will dictate the course of society in all its aspects. course in a pseudo-democracy, the fact can not be so clear and should be florid, with a speech that makeup can understand how " egalitarian. " The rule omits this speech, magna into law the country. But its implementation does not match speech. People have the right, but the relationships that dominate census is, or who has enjoyed economic conditions is that the prerogatives of law in the system. See the example class entities. In MTE and other ministries, which organizations have free access in these spaces? In 90% of cases, employers, business, the employers who attend. The influence and partnership is such that news is often said that in meetings, conferences and meetings of these associations, there are always representatives of the government as ministers, presidents and consultants related. This promiscuity occurs under our eyes, but as the critical capacity of our population is negligible, seems to be something common. In fact, the formation of an ignorant population is a success for capitalism. This ignorance leads as we explained, the maintenance of social inequality and models of social harmony, nationalists, philanthropic (you can also read as "pilantr?pico") and welfare.
Britain, Collective Action - association of anarchist communists: Budget 2013 brings us more smoke and mirrors
Populist measures used to hide a pat on the back for bosses and even the TUC turns against workers. ---- It?s the most wonderful time of the year! Who am I kidding? The weather sucks, plenty of us can?t afford to turn the heating on and to top it off George Osborne?s been smirking in the papers holding up his red briefcase containing all the evils of the world. (That?s Pandora?s box ? Ed.) ---- So what does Ozzy have in store for us this spring to cure those winter blues? The headline being touted is an advanced delivery of the Lib Dems? flagship policy: a raise in the Personal Tax Allowance to ?10,000. This populist move appears to benefit everyone, especially people on low incomes. However, any support for the move should be critical. The impetus for the new PTA is to create effective demand, i.e. getting people spending, which puts the money we?ve saved through lower taxation into the pockets of businesses on the High Street. Furthermore, the package will act as a state subsidy for poverty wages, meaning businesses do not have to raise wages in line with inflation. Interestingly, our politicians of all stripes neglected to inform us of the Office for Budget Responsibility?s calculations that this year real wages (adjusted for inflation) are down 10% since summer 2010. Of course the tax break on earnings also deflects attention away from the hike in council tax, which helps the government direct the blame for cuts to public services onto local government. Noticed your boss looking chirpy this week? It?s not just because he can afford 24 hour heating! Osborne has announced that bosses will be rewarded with a ?2000-a-year cut in National Insurance contributions, amounting to a ?1.25bn tax break. Bosses will presumably have the option of either pocketing the saving or putting more people to work on poverty wages to fuel the company?s profits now that everyone?s got a bit more to spend. Just in case bosses weren?t sure whether or not Christmas really had come early, Osborne ensured no mistake could be made by slashing corporation tax to 20%, which is the lowest rate in the G20. And for the rest of us? 1p off a pint of beer. Cheers, George! Sounds like a joke? Unfortunately it isn?t. This is George Osborne trying to show how in-touch he is with the plebs. Sorry, ?Britain?s hard workers?. Wondering what the hell?s going on? Having ditched the ?Big Society? project, which I?m still not sure most of the front bench ever really understood, the coalition?s new rhetorical device is the ?Aspiration Nation?. Catchy, eh? The idea as it?s presented is that if we all knuckle down, work hard, do ?the right thing?, abide the law, marry suitors of the opposite gender and have well-behaved children (though not too many, you benefit scrounger), we can all be upstanding individuals with healthy bank balances. Who says politicians are out of touch with the real world? First in the government?s blueprint for the ?Aspiration Nation? is to make us all property owners. As we may by now suspect, this is not the kind gesture it may appear to be. The government is shelling out ?3.5bn over three years in shared equity loans ? indicative of serious pump-priming. The idea here is to buck the trend towards private rents, which currently risks increasing demand towards social housing and deflating the housing stock. Of course it?s no problem that house prices are spiralling; the government will just help us take on more debt. This measure has an added bonus for the government; encouraging growth in the ?home-owner? demographic will pay dividends in years to come. Typically conservative, economically-stable and individualistic, who better to vote in the next Tory government? Feeling up against it? Fear not, the trusty Trade Union Council is on our side. TUC general secretary Frances O?Grady said, ?This budget is the wrong answer to the wrong question. We face a jobs, growth and living standards crisis.? Indeed, growth isn?t quite going how the government had hoped ? halved to just 0.6% this year. However, let?s just have a little look at the TUC?s stance on jobs. Recently the TUC announced in relation to the ?job guarantee? programme for young workers, ?Claimants who turn down a job guarantee job without good cause should face benefit sanctions?. It seems our friends at the helm of the union movement are all for Osborne?s ?Aspiration Nation? after all. We should be clear that advocating benefit sanctions supports the narrative of the unemployed as ?workshy? versus the ?hard worker?. This is a shameful piece of divide and rule manoeuvring on the part of the TUC, which serves to reinforce the ideological advancement of theories about the ?culture of dependency?, whereby unemployment is apparently a lifestyle choice. Clearly this does not account for the many valid reasons someone may not accept a job, whether ill-health, childcare issues, or indeed: not wanting that job! I don?t think we should be surprised by anything in the budget. Clearly the government is adopting a pump-priming strategy of cutting taxation and stimulating the housing market, but with benefit sanctions, poverty wages, continued cuts to public services and the proposed welfare reform, it?s going to be another difficult year for the class and a busy year for class-war militants. Pint of beer anyone? -CM.

Liga-nieuwsbrief maart 2013
Beste lezer,
privacy... in de ons omringende landen en in de VS brengt de huidige afbreuk van onze privacy heel wat beroering teweeg. Bij ons liggen er jammer genoeg maar weinig mensen wakker van. Terwijl tegelijkertijd de controle op ieder van ons verscherpt wordt. Op dit eigenste moment wordt de Europese privacyregelgeving herzien, onder zware druk van Amerikaanse lobbygroepen. Actiegroepen uit heel Europa proberen een tegengewicht te bieden om alsnog onze privacy veilig te stellen. Zelfs vanuit de VS komen actiegroepen op voor onze Europese privacy. Tijd om de realiteit onder ogen te zien: de bescherming van onze privacy is meer dan ooit aan de orde. Willen we een toekomst met meer controle en minder privacy? Of willen we onze vrijheid vrijwaren?
Stem tussen 25 april en 23 mei op de kandidaten van de Big Brother Awards 2013.
Kom op 30 mei naar de prijsuitreiking in de Vooruit, Gent en debateer mee.
Want privacy is een mensenrecht!
Veel leesplezier!

(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #225 - School timetables: Peillon tinker school (fr)
The "refounding School" proclaimed loudly by Vincent Peillon proves a masquerade more. In many aspects, continuity with previous policies, All?gre in Chatel, is obvious. Staff of National Education will mobilize they provided? ---- One of the greatest sleight-of-Password government is to swallow his so-called "priority to education." But can we talk about priority when does not even 8000 posts, only 10% of the 80,000 jobs lost in five years under the National Education Sarkozy? When one finds ministry is to provide a substitute for youth employment with the "jobs of the future teachers," all for 900 euros a month? When insecure of Education can not see the shadow of a massive tenure profile is? And the list could be extended! closures for classes This overhaul, cobbled together in a hurry, really hard to convince both the word itself is from the policy. On school timetables, the hiatus is overwhelming. The children will have to go back to school on Wednesday morning, continuing in most municipalities, to stay up to 16 h 30 the other day, the lunch break is extended. And this "revolution" was imposed on the grounds that children have overloaded weeks? For teachers in any case, the thing is heard: they are asked to work one morning back again without lowering their amplitude work elsewhere (and of course without upgrading their salaries). Not to mention that we are very far from a real reflection on school timetables in the context of a school emancipatory. In secondary schools, grants are coming cruel: the means are not lost back and working conditions, severely degraded, will continue to affect the lives of staff and students. Faced with the nonsense of the government, the largest union of education, FSU plays dithering. Should be "constructive", "critical", "offensive"? It depends sectors, trades and departments. If the level of the national machinery is the wait dominates in vocational schools, trade unions FSU, South CGT called joint strike on January 31. The ministry has decided to decentralize some of its powers, which threatens many closures of classes and sections. On school timetables to Paris, SNUIPP-FSU is a party to the Inter-built broad mobilization. Other examples exist, and it is on these mobilizations, still sparse, and South-CGT ?duc'action Education and would like to support the struggle to engage at the national level. Exceptional mobilization Paris on 22 January, with 90% of teachers of first-degree strike and demonstration in 3000, shows a significant response is possible, leading beyond union activists.

(en) Anarkio.net: A-Infos #18 - P1. Summary + Editorial (pt)
March 8 - The Fight is All! ---- page 02 ---- Let us always remember that we are all about and I think if there's oppressed and exploited that they feel are more than a companion that can send and oppress because they are men, it is a big mistake that should be repaired. ---- page 04 ---- workers persecuted, exploited to the maximum working hours of 12, 14 and 16 hours were able to organize themselves to address such abuses. When we write workers, we refer not only to men but women and children who made up the workforce in the period. ---- page 08 ---- Anarchism respects the philosophical opinions private. There is no harm in that people seek religious explanations to make sense of their lives. Every person has suffered a chill in thinking about death. There are those who need the belief and another lifetime to better withstand the pain of losing what they have. Editorial March 8 - The Fight is todxs!! We can not deny all oppression and exploitation that women were subjected. Can not forget all oppression and exploitation of existing on all of us, women, children, elderly men and animals. Let us always remember that we are todxs on the judge and whether there are oppressed and exploited who think they are more than a companion, that can send and oppress because they are men, this is a big mistake that should be repaired. No the anarchist proposal, one whose supremacy whatever. Sums iconoclasts, we should not bend to anyone, whether male or female. We stand for equality for all, justice between todxs, freedom of todxs. We must fight reproduction of the patriarchal model of domination, but not replace it with a supremacy of one gender over another. The break with this is the only option our daughters to be educated so human, without falling into stereotypes and labeling castrating and limiting. When more than 200 women are burned in Weaving in the U.S., is a direct attack aas workers. And the union should be the answer to that brutality, because if we go in the draft politicization of fights where everyone is in a niche struggle and fight against all, keep in long the capitalist system working. The division of the fights is a throwback to the proposal anarchist revolutionary, because it makes the fights isolated and easier to dominate and suppress, if necessary. To destroy the system, we must join. Not only all the struggles for emancipation, by order exploitation and oppression are just as we deepens them. March 8 is a day of awareness that all We must rise up against the system, for our daughters, our caregivers for our people. Not hopefully no one else! If sozinhx fight, Tips UMX oppressor / exploiter; unidxs, emancipate us!! ------------------------------- Politically Correct? Politically Correct, Dictatorship of view, policing ideas, restriction of a supposed "free speech", which is all this? Reactionaries feel their liberties by the oppressed reviews contrary, they feel oppressed minorities who advocate is their verbal violence. They feel oppressed by whom they oppressed forever. If speak both freedom of expression, because they can not also respect the freedom of expression of minorities? Mr. Reactionary, you poor thing, right? It is because tristinho people react when you are bigoted, intolerant, racist and scrotum? If you want to have freedom to express shits and prejudices, prepare your ears! "Politically correct" yes! And why not? Incidentally, this term seems to have been born head pies Conservatives to discredit opinions, ridicule, oppress freedom of expression and put those who defend minorities as "Moralists", but note that the moralist is today politically incorrect, thinking along the lines just right Catholics macho!
