struggle ---- Editorial ---- The third edition of Via Combative (VC) magazine hits the 
streets in a decisive struggle of the workers for the period in Brazil. In 2013 we 
experienced the awakening of popular direct action and setting a new standard in the class 
struggle in our country from the June Days. The reformist left and the revolutionaries 
were put forward evidence to the radicalization of popular demonstrations, the action of 
marginal proletariat and State repression. This framework promises to worsen in 2014, the 
year of the World Cup, bringing the main challenge for this edition of Via Combative the 
correct understanding of this reality and its contribution to theoretical and political 
consolidation of the mass of the arm anarchism, revolutionary syndicalism, process 
construction.

As a continuation of the second number of the VC, this edition progresses in the 
application of Bakuninist method for understanding the formation and action of fractions 
of the working class in Brazil between different occupational categories and their 
national, ethnic gender and generational layers. Although not drain completely, this 
edition represents a concrete step forward in the analysis of class structure from the 
anarchist theory.

One of the main challenges posed by the popular uprising of June and the struggles of this 
period is the identification of the subjects of this process and what is their role in the 
class struggle. Marxism, thought tab of the main left organizations in Brazil, can not 
overcome the dilemma between sectarianism and opportunism in their mass politics: 
sometimes just giving centrality to labor (at the expense of other working class 
fractions), now expanding its alliances "national bourgeoisie" policies while seemingly 
opposing derived from the same economistic stageism. Have anarchism advocated by UNIPA 
brings a new interpretation and practice, from the sociological materialism that 
understands the centrality and the role of the different fractions of the working class 
(proletariat marginal, service, industrial, peasantry, etc..) And while to combat any 
class collaboration.

In this sense, the text "The Lift of Marginalized" points to the key role of marginal 
proletariat in the June days, the product of two decades of neoliberal reforms which 
deteriorated the conditions of work and life, thus forming a sector composed largely by 
precarious proletarian youth and their subcultures, but not only, who have been 
marginalized PT covenant between union bureaucracies and party with the government, a 
factor that led to its non tutored his action and therefore explosive and dynamic in 2013.

The article "Students as occupational category and class structure" indicates that the 
mass of poor education in recent decades has consolidated the presence of the working 
class in the student movement as well as its major weight in school environments (defined 
in absolute numbers) from that text debunks the opportunistic left line that justifies 
their reformism in the Student Movement on the grounds of delay in an essentially petty 
bourgeois student condition. Anarchism aims, instead, that the proletarians students have 
a fundamental role in the revolution, but it is necessary to organize them from a classist 
and new methods program.

The other two texts deal with the class perspective of anarchism in relation to rural 
workers, fundamental issue of Brazilian society today. In "Anarchism and Agrarian 
Question" criticism is taken Marxist design that designed the peasantry in two main ways: 
a) as a sector to be fought; b) as a sector to be used; both starting from an economic 
viewpoint regarded the peasantry as a petty bourgeois sector doomed to disappearance or 
the subordination of the Action Party / workers' state. Have anarchism points the 
peasantry (who lives in his own work) while a section of the working class and fundamental 
subject of Brazilian constructive revolution. In the article "Between the state 
supervision and revolution: some thoughts on the history of rural unionism and peasant 
struggle" a historical analysis of the role of trade unionism state, represented by CONTAG 
in the 1960s, the dismantling of the Peasant Leagues, is held and its lessons for today.

The text "The full statement and Bakuninist critical libertarian pedagogy" demonstrates 
how the anarchist eclecticism in education, known as Libertarian Education, he joined the 
bourgeois movement to defend education as the primary method of transformation of society. 
Bakunin advocated a socialist education that unites the manual and intellectual work, but 
in a capitalist society the struggle was the main method of learning and destruction of 
class society and state fundamental condition of emancipatory education.

Via Combative magazine hopes to contribute to the Unity of all fractions of the Brazilian 
working class. In this year 2014, commemorate the Bicentennial of Comrade Mikhail Bakunin 
in the application of his teachings: uniting urban and rural workers, striking the 
bourgeoisie and the state through direct action and the general strike.
