The Erdoganist army and its barbarian allies (namely the Turkish backed Free Syrian Army 
/TFSA & the so-called Syrian National Army /SNA) invaded 4 outer villages and 4 defensive 
points in the Afrin region. They are moving really very slow. They have air power and more 
superior weapons than us but our defense line fuck Erdoganists and their Syrian 
terrorists’ moral. Erdogan’s fighter jets are bombing blank points. His special operations 
units are fearful of moving into the Afrin city center. Our last stand defense line can 
survive at least 4 months. Yes unfortunately, without international support, Erdoganists 
can invade Afrin. But it will be a great chaos for them. Erdoganist army will be sad!
Comrades, we need your help more than everything. Its a life or death situation. This 
invasion isnt only about Afrin nor Rojava/Assyria/N. Syria but Erdogan wants to invade 
also the whole border territory, including Iraq’s Ezidistan (Zoroaster Kurdish lands 
/Sinjar), Ninewah (Iraqi Assyria), Turkmeneli (Iraqi Shia Turkomans) and Iraqi Kurdistan’s 
Qandil mountains area (PKK’s HQ and dissidents and opressed people’s refugee villages and 
camps). Its clearly IMPERIALISM and he wants to destroy everything and massacre every 
people he just hate.

Another important thing is Turkish and Bakur (Turkish Kurdistan) Kurdish comrades 
situation. Before the invasion, Erdogan first invaded Turkish Kurdistan and Eastern Turkey 
to eliminate PKK and her Turkish Marxists allies. Not only guerrillas but also autonomous 
municipalities were invaded. Erdogan and his fake opposition (Kemalists and Nationalists) 
are all fascists, they even arrested members of parliament from HDP (pro-Kurdish and 
Turkish Marxist alliance, 3rd biggest party in parliament). Our comrades in Turkey and 
Turkish Kurdistan are in HELL.

In Western Turkey (İstanbul, Ankara, Smyrna regions) anarchists are suffering. We even 
lost contact with lots of groups. For example there has not been any statement from DAF 
(Revolutionary Anarchist Movement) nor Kara-Kızıl (Black-Red). Comrades from Kara Bayrak 
Otonomu (Autonomous Black Flag) are missing (possibly arrested without legal process). All 
HDP coalition and anarchists of Turkey paying the “heaviest price” after Afrin.

We need your help. This war is chaotic already and our military power is decreasing day by 
day, we need to protect our comrades (and their families!) from Erdogan’s revenge and 
torture dungeons. Without international support, he will kill us one by one. Please make 
something. We are dying. Please hear us.

Western comrades, your warlord countries made this hell. Especially USA and EU made our 
“shithole countries” like this, after their Iraqi War and Syrian Civil War. When we ‘fix’ 
our broken land and defeated the Islamic State, your countries ‘support’ us(!) and saw us 
as their ‘coalition partner’, when Erdogan started the invasion they all played blind! We 
are not Barzani, we wont forget! They remember ‘PKK case’ like a miracle? What is chance? 
ISIS HAS GONE! Your countries SOLD US!

Millions of Kurds, Turks, Arabs, Armenian, Assyrian, Greek peoples are sold by USA, Russia 
and the International Coalition.

So make them regret this.

If Rojava, Bakur, and we, revolutionaries lose, also YOU will lose. Rojava, like Chiapas, 
is not only our gain but its part of the anti-neoliberal global revolution.

So all anarchists, anti-authoritarians, revolutionary Marxists and democratic 
confederalists have to support us and have to do something to stop this war.

Afrin, the Afrinites. The peoples who lived in Afrin died in these lands and were born on 
these lands. Living there is not related to any plan with the program. They are not in 
Afrin as a strategy. Afrin for them water, bakery, play, play, story, friend, friend, 
lover, street, home, location. For the state it is just a strategy. A strategy that does 
not care about Afrin and Aphrodisians. ---- The Afrin attack is now a strategy of the 
Energy War, which now breaks down Syria and destroys many states in the region. States 
create the illusion that they are doing these wars "for their citizens". They make 
nationalist conservative propaganda to convince their citizens of this misconception. This 
is an inevitable need both inside and outside. If it is necessary for voting in the 
elections inside, it is valid for the rent in the outside tables. Managers who experience 
a completely commercial process such as the extraction, transport, and sale of energy 
resources use all their materials to increase their gains. In these discussions where the 
number of rifles, tanks, airplanes is important, the most important is the number of 
soldiers. A soldier is no different from a material. This is the creation of this 
nationalist conservative mistaken.

Who joins a battle to win more? Who is always fighting for gasoline, which is expensive 
from drip bread, sold to the state or companies everywhere? We, the ones who live in the 
fact that everything has been raised in the liter of gasoline, are always lost, why should 
we always fight for the winners? In reality, nobody will fight for them. They need to know 
this fact, to nationalism, to conservatism.
Now, newspapers are shouting slogans of misconceptions from television about "national, 
national, national!", "National will, national unity". They can never say clearly; "We are 
pursuing three or five," "We will fight or fight, we will sell everything to you. We will 
produce it, we will consume you, we will exploit you. "Here is the plan, program, 
strategy, war of the states. We peoples - those who are necessarily citizens of the states 
- can change everything. Today the people of Afrin live freely because they changed it. As 
in Kobanê, Cizére, Chipas. This is also the important difference between the war of the 
people and the war of the states. The state attacks in the war with more irregularity to 
earn more of its own system, more to win. Bombs with tanks and airplanes. Wounds, kills, 
kills and wants to capture all life. Freedom in the war of the peoples.
Every day, every bomb dropped on Afrin is thrown into freedom. TC, which wants to increase 
its share in the mask, has started the Afrin attack. This illusion created by nationalist 
and conservativeism is an established strategy. It's a pure election strategy. It is 
completely a commercial strategy. The war of the state is a strategy. The war of the 
peoples is freedom. And a people fighting for freedom, no state can beat.

REVOLUTIONARY ANARCHIST ACTIVITY

After many sporadic threats and attacks, Turkish troops, with heavy artillery, aviation 
and combat cars, have begun the invasion of the land and the destruction of the Afrin 
canton. This territory of Rojava, located in the north of Syria, has been a living 
specimen for some years now that it can be lived in freedom and harmony in the middle of 
the punished lands of the Near East. So far this region has enjoyed some stability and 
even sheltered part of the refugees fleeing Daesh. For this reason the Turkish state 
attacks Afrin and Manbij: to destroy everything that symbolizes, by racism and the search 
for revenge for the defeat of Daesh to Raqqa. ---- Our organization is placed on the side 
of the brave people who had freed themselves and now suffers and defends. We solidify 
ourselves with all the civilian victims of this conflict that opens up.

We want to denounce with all our forces the liberal and undemocratic character of the 
Recip Erdogan regime , which is also deeply antiquated, since it is based on both Islamic 
supremacism and Turkish supremacism.
We also want to make clear that Erdogan would never have attacked the corner of Afrin 
without the permission of Russia, the Syrian government or the United States . 
Geostrategic implications overlap human life or the craving for freedom of a whole people.
Report that Erdogan (among other countries) for years has encouraged, financed, organized 
and armed Jihadist and paramilitary bands entering Syria or Iraq to destroy both Syrian 
and Kurdish populations. The West looks shamelessly on the other side, it may be that it 
does not cause Erdogan to use refugees as a political weapon by sending them to Europe at 
will.
But not only does the West look to the other side because of the refugees, but also sells 
it a key weapon , such as the 300 German-type Leopard 2A tanks, which are now being used 
to invade Afrin.
For all this, we encourage all organizations and individuals to concentrate on Friday 26 
at 6 pm in front of the Turkish Consulate of Barcelona.

After denouncing the alleged racism of a union internship organized by SUD-Education 93, 
workshops are reserved for people who are victims of racism, Jean-Michel Blanquer, 
Minister of Education, decided to file a complaint against the union for the use of the 
notion of "  state racism  " as being defamatory. However, the use of this term is 
beautiful and well adapted to the discrimination suffered by a large part of the 
population. ---- Racism is a reaction of fear and rejection of difference producing " 
theories  " based on the purported superiority of a race. In all cases a stupidity since 
the human race is one and indivisible, beyond the nuanced physical attributes. To all 
these forms of racism, there has always been a moral, humanist or religious anti-racism. 
Even if some political anti-racism activists are making a mockery of the moral anti-racism 
from which most of the activists involved in the daily support of Roma, refugees, 
undocumented migrants or they sometimes lock themselves into communitarian impasses, this 
fight is also ours.

Because there is a state racism that must be fought, whatever the Minister of National 
Education thinks.

In France, the homeland of human rights (!), It has long been considered that state racism 
existed only in the paroxysmal forms of anti-Semitism between the Dreyfus and Vichy affair 
; or so far from home in South Africa for example. It is this intellectual comfort that 
has been roused in recent years by intellectuals, often born of immigration, who denounce 
in France a state racism to which many refuse to believe. And it is to this fight that 
political antiracism is tackled.

Researchers wishing to go beyond the question prefer to use the concept of institutional 
racism or systemic discrimination. These two depoliticizing formulations have the 
advantage of clarifying the stakes because the racism in question is produced not only by 
the State but by all the public institutions, and is concretized by very real 
discriminations without any need for legislation.

Right to denied accommodation

It is quite obvious that the prohibition of access to public service and certain 
professions is an objectively racist law. But the policies of the government, the 
practices of the state apparatus (army, police, school ...) or those of the local 
communities do not always need explicit law to be racist. When France banned access to 
employment for Bulgarians and Romanians who had just entered the European Union, it was 
not aimed at the people of two poor nations but very directly with the Roma, whose 
discrimination in their countries was feared. an influx of population ... When schooling 
is refused or not implemented in practice with host classes for non-francophones who 
remain empty while hundreds of files were treated in the CIO 93,! He has also been 
sentenced to Brussels several times without this changing his practices !

When the French state organizes facies checks, when it proclaims a permanent state of 
emergency around the stations to hunt the undocumented, when it prepares a military 
intervention in Libya for supposedly "  free  " slaves victims smugglers but in fact to 
send them back to their countries of origin, when they deploy ineffective bone tests to 
determine the age of the refugees and to reject their legal obligations towards the 
minors, yes we can and we have to talk about state racism.

Internationalism, then, is the only feasible, unifying and peaceful solution. This is 
because it does not seek the extermination of populations and entire peoples. On the 
contrary, he proposes the solidarity of the proletarians and oppressed against those who 
exploit us and destroy our lives. And let's not get lucky. Content may change, but the 
form of exploitation is the same on both sides of the border, as in every state. Lacking, 
downgrading our lives, subtracting our rights are just some of the aspects of the attack 
that have unleashed state and capital against us. And the only real resistance is 
class-antithetical-internationalist. ---- Political analysis for the Macedonian question 
---- "These peasants here do not want either" Bulgar ", or" Scrp "or" Gretsch ". Only 
"Macedon Ortonotox" "Stratis Myrivilis," Life in a Trench "

Recently, on the occasion of the Greek and FYROM governments' intention to come to a 
solution to the name of the latter, nationalist rhetoric has once again flooded the public 
discourse, giving fertile ground to the fascist fascism of Greek society. But this story 
goes back over a century, interwoven with the conflicting interests of Greek nationalism 
and the nationalisms of other Balkan countries. The national narrative has changed from 
time to time when considering these populations as "Bulgarian" when "Bulgarian-speaking 
Greeks believed in the Patriarchate" when they were "Macedonians" to be incorporated into 
the Greek state and then as "Macedonians". The current position of nationalist circles 
that Macedonia is one and Greek does not surprise us at all that it comes from the 
Hellenistic period and was discovered in 1992 by the then Mitsotakis adviser on "national 
issues" and also vice president on her junta (appointed by Papadopoulos) "Counseling", 
Nicholas Merzzo. This position goes hand in hand with the policy of the Greek state until 
today, although a milder attitude has been adopted by the governments in recent years. 
Each time, however, what remains the same is a national narrative fully aligned with the 
"national interests" that are no more than the interests of the ruling class. This 
position goes hand in hand with the policy of the Greek state until today, although a 
milder attitude has been adopted by the governments in recent years. Each time, however, 
what remains the same is a national narrative fully aligned with the "national interests" 
that are no more than the interests of the ruling class. This position goes hand in hand

adopted by the governments in recent years. Each time, however, what remains the same is a 
national narrative fully aligned with the "national interests" that are no more than the 
interests of the ruling class.

"Macedonian issue": an old affair

It is striking that on this issue the far-right agenda and mythology have been harmonized 
in many ways with national politics. One of these points is the belief that the name 
"Macedonians" appears in 1943-44 and is a work of Tito. The truth is that this name 
appears at the end of the 19th century, as the question arises of the ethnic origins of 
the Slav-speaking Christian populations in the wider geographical area of Macedonia.

Having a central position in the Balkans, Macedonia, with the three vilates of Selanik 
(Thessaloniki), Monastiri (Vitoli) and Oswuk (of Skopje, which after 1877 was named Kosovo 
vilayet), was at the center of the struggling nationalisms. Macedonia has been a place 
where most of the distinct linguistic and religious communities met - and mostly, a great 
deal of peace. The Macedonian site over time has been a great melting pot of peoples and 
cultures. After the conquest of the area by the Romans, Greeks or Hellenized local 
populations, Romans or Greeks, Greeks, Greeks, Thracians, Painians, Huns, Goths and 
Visigoths, Slavs, Albanians and Turks have been living peacefully or hostilely for a long 
time or for a short time with a variety of masters.

At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the population of the region 
consisted of several ethnic groups that converged and overlapped: Greeks, Serbs, 
Bulgarians, Turks, Jews, Vlachs and Albanians, but also various variants. All of these 
constituted the colorful mosaic of Macedonia. It is clear that the ethnological 
distinction of such a multicultural region could not be based on any criterion (language, 
religion, morals, customs), since one could very well contradict each other. For example, 
the well-known Macedonian captain Kottas, speaking to the foremen of Kores, says: "We the 
Macedonians, in order to gain freedom, have two ways to follow. One goes to Bulgaria, the 
other goes to Greece. "This speech was made in a language that Pavlos Melas, who was an 
eyewitness, is referred to as" Macedonian ". And it is Captain Kottas himself, who, when 
he was a Slav-speaker, was calling at the time of the Ottomans: "Da Zievi Gsta! (Hire 
Greece) ".

So two things had to be clarified: which of the existing nation-states (Greece, Bulgaria, 
Serbia) will integrate the region and in a second time what will happen to the populations 
of different language, religion, etc. For the first issue, the beginning of the last 
century and the eve of the First World War clashed in the region with three aggressive 
nationalisms with irredentist aspirations: "St. Stephen's Bulgaria", "Great Serbia" and 
"Greece on the two continents and the five seas" were confronted in m merciless massacre 
artfully named Macedonian struggle. After all, most of the region was incorporated into 
the Greek state.

Inside this bludgeon of slaughtering and slaughtering among the local populations, 
Macedonian nationalism also began to create its own national narrative and finally 
fulfilled its cravings for statehood in 1991. From its appearance, but especially after 
1991, Macedonian nationalism, like any nationalism, is constructing its own national 
narrative. A narrative full of anachronisms, silences, distractions from historical 
events, and of course myths that construct national identity. The discussion of the use of 
the name Macedonia is the most telling example of the manipulation of historical events to 
serve nationalist perceptions. In recent years, he has expressed various irredentist 
aspirations, following the footsteps of other Balkan nationalisms,

Concerning the second issue, the methods used in the Balkans are widely known: evictions, 
exterminations, massive cleansing and violent homogenization of the populations in order 
to integrate the extremely complex ethnic, religious and linguistic areas into sovereign 
nations. This also happened in the part of Macedonia that came to the Greek state, since 
the majority of its population at that time was not Greek or at least Greek-speaking.

Against every nationalist threat

So the question that emerged "suddenly" 25 years ago is shaking again now. The political 
world appears ripe and ready to solve the issue once and for all, without making political 
rebates and retreats from the previous policies, while the various Macedonians say they 
are ready to take the roads for Macedonian Greekness. Once again, in Greek society, there 
are pseudo-dilemmas that divert it from the real connotation of the issue, which is not 
the national one, as is alluded to, but political-class.

This is because the meaning of the whole rush to solve the issue is the neighbor's state's 
intention to join NATO and the EU and the necessity of stabilizing the alliance of 
Greece-Israel-Cyprus in the region under the auspices of the United States. By finding a 
solution to the name, Greece can play a strong partner role in the Eastern Mediterranean 
region, while at the same time serving the interests of the Greek bourgeoisie, as 
according to the available data of the FYROM Central Bank, all foreign direct investment 
in the country, Greece comes third with investments amounting to 477.3 million and 10.8% 
of the total. At the same time, mobilizing a portion of the population around the issue is 
disorienting public opinion at the same time that measures are being adopted, such as the 
abolition of the strike. He, moreover,

Classes are not measured in nation and race

This is the important thing to understand. The oppression and further degradation of our 
lives will not change. Our disenchantment with this growing treaty will only be to 
strengthen the state and the capital. In addition, his long hand, the fascists will be in 
the rallies for the Greekity of Macedonia. It is no coincidence that, together with the 
various "Pan-Macedonian clubs", they call fascist and neo-Nazi groups, right-wing liaison 
officers and officers and of course a steadily nationalistic and intolerant portion of the 
Greek church.

Here is where the real question comes: what do we want the Balkans? Do we want the Balkans 
of irrational nationalisms, "population exchanges," ethnic cleansing and self-inflicted? 
The Balkans of the Asia Minor Catastrophe, the genocide of Pontians, Srebrenica and the 
Yugoslav civil war? Or do we want the Balkans of peoples' co-operation, solidarity, 
internationalist reunification around our common enemies (state, capital, nationalism)?

Only real internationalism and solidarity

Internationalism, then, is the only feasible, unifying and peaceful solution. This is 
because it does not seek the extermination of populations and entire peoples. On the 
contrary, he proposes the solidarity of the proletarians and oppressed against those who 
exploit us and destroy our lives. And let's not get lucky. Content may change, but the 
form of exploitation is the same on both sides of the border, as in every state. Lacking, 
downgrading our lives, removing our rights are just some of the aspects of the attack that 
have unleashed state and capital against us. And the only real resistance is 
class-antithetical-internationalist.

 From the Trade Union of Transport and Communications of the CGT in Seville, we inform: 
---- ELECTORAL FARCE at Ilunion Sevilla. ---- As everyone knows, next Monday, January 15, 
are the elections in ILUNION SEVILLA. From the CGT we spoke with some colleagues to 
integrate our list and we got 19 colleagues to commit to it. ---- However, the management 
of ILUNION started its bad arts and, using its followers from UGT, CCOO and CSIF, pressed 
several colleagues to sign the resignations to our list. Despite this, we managed to 
resolve this situation and correct it; but, again, ILUNION, now with the connivance of the 
electoral table left the colleagues of the CGT out of this electoral process. ---- From 
the Union of Transport and Communications of CGT-Seville we will not let go of this 
outrage to which, unfortunately, we are accustomed / os some representatives of these 
organizations that call themselves unionists but that as soon as they can they are placed 
next to the employer to attack us. There must be a reason.

 From the CGT we defend the need to make another type of trade unionism: justifying the 
union hours, honest with the partners we defend and firm against the unfair attitudes of 
the company. Something that ILUNION Sevilla has not done any of those who have been on the 
works committee for a long time, changing unions, not losing union hours and continuing to 
defend the company every time they need it.

Today, once again, both UGT and CCOO have shown that, in addition to being immersed in 
cases of CORRUPTION by black cards (among others), collect bonuses, apply EREs to their 
own workers, sign labor reforms with different governments shift, or sign sector 
agreements in which leave the employer the power to fire us by decreasing calls; now they 
are dedicated to pressuring the workers so that they do not go on the CGT list.

Companion, today DO NOT PARTICIPATE in this electoral farce that these apprentice wizards 
of institutional unionism have set themselves:

DO NOT GO TO VOTE!. OR IF YOU PREFER IT SEE AND VOTE IN WHITE (WITHOUT MEET ANYTHING IN 
THE ENVELOPE) OR VOTE NULL (BY PUTTING INTO THE ENVELOPE A ROLLED, WRITTED PAPERWORK OR 
WHAT YOU WANT).

Since the CGT we have already challenged this electoral process as fraudulent and 
undemocratic and, surely in a few months, they will have to repeat the elections. We will 
reach the end in the struggle for the rights of workers and against abuses and pressures, 
wherever they come from.

IF NOBODY WORKS FOR YOU, THAT NOBODY DECIDES FOR YOU

strikes It workers Fujitsu Manchester victimisation sexual discrimination sackings ---- 
Union members at Fujitsu have announced a series of strikes-as bosses dismissed victimised 
reps. The first walkout will begin on Wednesday 24 January. Management sacked two reps 
over the christmas with one of the reps being dismissed  while he was on compassionate 
leave to attend a family funeral. ---- These are just the latest attacks in a long running 
dispute over compulsory redundancies, victimisation of reps and breaches of a redundancy 
agreement. IT workers at Fujitsu in Manchester have already taken 27 days action in this 
long running campaign and plans further  strikes  on Wednesday 24 - Friday 26 January, 
Tuesday 30 January and Thursday 8 February - Wednesday 14 February. Union members are also 
taking part in action short of a strike and are working to rule.

Fujitsu announced it planned to chop 1,800 UK jobs in 2016 in order to boost profits. 
Since the announcement they have attempted to undermine  workplace organisation by a 
campaign of harassment of union reps, as a means forcing through redundancies and cuts to 
pay and pensions.
Workers seen as troublemakers have also been targeted as part of an attempt to create an 
atmosphere of intimidation amongst the workforce. One worker was sacked before the company 
had even bothered to investigate her grievance, she had complained of sexual harassment 
which then resulted in her being  immediately selected for redundancy.  Not too surprising 
given that one of the central issues in the  this long running dispute has been the 16% 
gender pay gap under which women are paid on average £5,500 less than male colleagues, 
which Fujitsu have steadfastly refused to discuss with the unions.

Yet Fujitsu in the UK  to a big extent  is a publicly funded company with over half of  of 
Fujitsu's contracts in the public sector. For the last two decades the company has 
received vast amounts of public money with government contracts estimated to be worth over 
£640m. Public funding that enabled Fujitsu to make £86.5m profit in the UK last year. 
Needles to say while cutting jobs, driving down pay, slashing pensions and discriminating 
against women, the directors found the money to give themselves a massive pay rise, with 
one director getting  a 13 per cent pay rise to £1.635m.

Fujitsu is yet another publicly subsidised company, making vast amounts of money for 
investors and directors at our expense, while being allowed to wreck workers lives. The 
tremendous solidarity shown by the UNITE members at Fujitsu should be an inspiration to us 
all and they should have all our support.
