Four anarchists living in Rio de Janeiro answered the question. Check below. The decree of
military intervention in public security in the state was signed on February 16 by
President MichelTemer. ---- " She is rather a threat to life" ---- The military
intervention in Rio de Janeiro is only the extension of the policy that has been practiced
more objectively in the favelas of the capital in the last ten years. What was a
peculiarity applicable to peripheral airs, against the "dangerous classes", now spreads to
the whole city and its surroundings. When the occupations of Complexo do Alemão (2010) and
Maré (2014) were scandal, the preferential or exclusive targets were black and poor.
Although the current military intervention has its own economic reasons, very evident in
an election year, it is no less genocidal and racist. Its priority targets denounce the
longevity of its true reasons. As for the Army, that after the War of Paraguay (1865-1870)
declined of the condition of captain of the bush, by refusing to persecute enslaved women
and men evaded from farms, it seems that now he is taking up this task from where he left
off. Disregarding this lapse of time, he reassumes the ignominious function by harassing
and eliminating the descendants of the quilombolas. If on the one hand, intervention is
also a relevant aspect of the project that aims at withdrawing rights, on the other, for
those who do not even have rights, it is rather a threat to life. Those who thought and
executed the intervention are the followers of Domingos Jorge Velho. it is rather a threat
to life. Those who thought and executed the intervention are the followers of Domingos

" A link between arms industry interests, political parties"
For years the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro has been used by successive governments
as a laboratory of techniques of repression by police forces and the other armed forces in
specific moments. What we have today is a totally politically demoralized government, a
state that is economically and financially in recession, and various mafia organizations
operating in different spheres of power, along with the endemic poverty of certain parts
of the city, in contrast to the opulence of the more affluent neighborhoods. rich, often
neighbors of the wall, favelas and luxury condos live side by side with discomfort on both
sides. The corporate media contribute greatly to the dissemination of the discourses of
fear, where those affected by poverty are the usual villains. The middle class digests
this discourse and responds in large part with appeals for more repression of the poor. It
is, therefore, in a few lines of an articulation between interests of the armaments
industry, political parties and a significant part of the population that buys the speech
of the fear of the great corporative newspapers. This articulation culminates in the
process of broad militarization we see today in Rio de Janeiro. In short, it is the
"Terror of State" where the same that generates the problem offers a "solution". The
purpose is the violent and vertical ordering of society through the discourse of the need
to repress the "dangerous classes." political parties and a significant portion of the
population who buy the fear speech from the big corporate newspapers. This articulation
culminates in the process of broad militarization we see today in Rio de Janeiro. In
short, it is the "Terror of State" where the same that generates the problem offers a
"solution". The purpose is the violent and vertical ordering of society through the
discourse of the need to repress the "dangerous classes." political parties and a
significant portion of the population who buy the fear speech from the big corporate

" A strategy of political preservation of the MDB and allies"
I have been living in Rio de Janeiro since 2011, in a neighborhood (Santa Teresa) where
the shots next to the house have been and are constant. Despite being a "foreigner" in the
city, through conversations with the population, it was possible to draw a map of urban
violence in Rio. On the other hand, the manifestations of 2013, prolonged here in Rio
since the attack on the Assembly until the occupation and attack on the Chamber, brought
public visibility to political corruption and anticipated the legal siege of Sérgio Cabral
e cia. I will not say from the anarchist position that a priori rejects the state, the
police, the policy instituted, etc. etc. and etc. I will comment on the intervention from
the critical reflection of a common individual on the political conjuncture. More than a
change of focus to deflect the failure of the government in the attempt to reform social
security (as has been reported by the media and in what a large part of the population
believes), military intervention should be seen as a strategy of political preservation of
the MDB and allies in Rio de Janeiro. Announced in advance, as well as the former
occupations of UPPs, it allows any persecuted of all kinds (politicians, traffickers,
militias, etc.) to not only evade the state, but also burn files - including living -
documents that could jeopardize the Rio de Janeiro MDB leadership still active in the
federal government (Moreira Franco, heirs of Cunha and Picciani, ahead). As will always be
the young, usually black of the poor areas, to suffer the consequences, quenching the
thirst for blood and "revenge" for this huge segment of the well-to-do, now bolsonarista,
or "worker", who goes from the small proletarian owner to the middle classes who applaud
this circus. In the meantime, the politicking around the MDB would gain a year to face the
denunciations of the MP with the unfolding of the testimonies and the possible accords of
demarcation of the already detained investigated. This seems to me the political scenario
mediated by the Jungmann[Minister of Public Security]with the military summit, which is,
pathetically, aware of its manipulation. the politicking that gravitates around the MDB
would gain one year to face the denunciations of the MP with the unfolding of the
testimonies and the possible agreements of demarcation of the investigated ones already
detained. This seems to me the political scenario mediated by the Jungmann[Minister of
Public Security]with the military summit, which is, pathetically, aware of its

" It's just a laboratory for something that could spread to other states"
As a FARJ member, I will respond based on my organization's assessment. We see another
chapter of this government of "shock", which with the advance of neoliberal barbarism,
resorting to the containment of the lower, replacing the failed policy of the UPP's
(initiated in PT governments) by the intervention of the Army and the Ministry of
Security. In addition to guaranteeing the application of the neoliberal Tax Recovery
Regime in the State (selling state-owned companies, withdrawing rights, etc.), it tries to
give political survival to the PMDB in the polls and to guarantee the scenario for the
approval of the pension reform (destruction of the retirement right). The criminalization
of poverty and protest along these lines goes hand in hand with the continuity of the
policy of genocide of the black population and the thesis of the "internal" enemy. They
are preparing to stifle any form of popular resistance by watching over, repressing and
stifling popular movements and political organizations. Rio de Janeiro is only a
laboratory for something that could spread to other states under the argument of "war on
organized crime" and the growing reactionary participation of the armed forces and
judiciary in national politics. Rafael Viana (Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro - FARJ)

With the arrival of Macron, the policy of closing borders and hunting migrants is
worsening ---- A machine to expel ---- Nearly 50,000 people were deported in 2016, and the
trend was up in 2017. Last year, nearly 300 children were locked up in detention centers
to be deported with their parents, while the number of regularizations have stagnated for
years. If the undocumented people have long been the cost of this policy, precarious,
exploited by their bosses, locked up and expelled, it is even today to asylum seekers who
find themselves victims of state violence . ---- The Dublin Regulation, which provides
that an asylum application can only be made in the first European country crossed by a
person in search of protection, is applied with zeal by prefects who are too happy to get
rid of the applicants. asylum by expelling them to other countries in Europe. the
expulsion of " dublin " people turned out to be a real gas plant, some of them could be
expelled, return to the territory, and then again embarked ... France engaged in endless
ping-pong games with them. other European states, deporting at all times people often
already traumatized by the hardships they have gone through.
A bill to monitor and track down
Another aspect of this policy of non-reception is that exiled people are left homeless,
harassed by police forces to disperse and to make them invisible. At the Italian borders,
in Calais and in big cities, shantytowns and makeshift encampments are multiplying, with
the cortege of police violence associated with it. and when exiles receive shelter, they
are stuck and controlled: from the Collomb circulars published in December, the
prefecture's services can monitor and arrest even in shelters.
The immigration bill currently being debated in parliament continues this logic. the
government intends to put in place measures that undermine the fundamental rights of
migrants and criminalize the very act of migration: criminalization of entry into France
and work under false identity, expansion of punitive measures such as prohibitions of
return. Above all, the project to increase to 135 days (four and a half months !) The
maximum duration of confinement in a detention center, constitutes a terrible physical,
psychic and symbolic violence.
A policy underpinned by state racism
The state racism that underlies this policy uses and reinforces the hostility of part of
the population towards the exiled. Even if we are numerous and numerous to show our
solidarity on a daily basis and if the figures deny: in 2017, 100,000 asylum applications
were registered, only 17 % more than in 2016 ... France has largely the means to
accommodate in these proportions. But the government claims to sort out people and hunt
down the " fraudsters " who have come to take advantage of (what we do not know), without
questioning the cause of migration and France's responsibility in the crises that cross
the various countries of departure of migrants. es.
Whatever its reasons, every migration is legitimate ; each person must be able to live in
dignity where they wish. More than ever, the repeal of the Dublin Regulation, the freedom
of movement and installation remain the only possible answers to a so-called " migration
crisis " which is only the crisis of the reception of European governments.

A meeting in November 2017 in Genoa allowed the different organizations members of the
Anarkismo network to discuss the current situation and the different perspectives for
joint action. ---- On 18 and 19 November, a meeting between the various European
organizations members of the libertarian communist international network Anarkismo [1] was
held in Genoa. Objectives: to share our analyzes of the social situation in Europe and to
organize our joint intervention. ---- Hosted by the Federazione dei Comunisti Anarchisti
(Italian organization) at the self-managed Utopia center in Genoa, delegations from France
(Libertarian Alternative and the Coordination of Anarchist Groups, from Ireland (Workers
Solidarity Movement), Switzerland (Libertarian Socialist Organization) and Wales met with
warm greetings from Embat (Catalan organization) who could not be present, and a real
desire to develop joint work emerged. A debate on the situation in the different countries
gathered more about 30 people, and a unitary statement was issued.
What situation in Europe ?
The capitalist crisis is taking place in Europe in forms that are similar and repetitive.
The structures of work stemming from Fordism are gradually being cut off by " autonomous "
(Uberisation), making workers more and more vulnerable. Yet in most countries, the left is
in crisis. Social liberalism has shown, wherever it has been in power, which side it
really was, and the reformist left has shown its inability to change the system.
Meanwhile, the withdrawal of identity marks points, as can be seen with the victory of the
conservatives and the extreme right in Austria, with first of all a hardening of
anti-migration policies. Throughout Europe, people are being attacked by austerity
policies and the social movement is struggling to build massive struggles.
There is a challenge to bring together our national experiences in order to have an
overview of transnational phenomena in Europe.
What common intervention ?
Issues are common in Europe, hence the need to unite and work together to build a society
without domination or exploitation. The inclusion of our organizations in struggles and
the desire to develop self-management practices are what brings us together. Several lines
of work have been launched. On the feminist and anti-patriarchal struggle, we want to work
together on a campaign for the right and access to abortion all over Europe. Because, even
today, abortion is forbidden in several countries, as could be witnessed by our Irish
comrades very invested on this question.
Here again, the European institutions prove that the rights of peoples are not their
priority. We also want to develop solidarity with comrades who are fighting to develop
social struggles. A campaign around the revolutionary experiences of Rojava in Syria
should also see the day. The meetings between organizations of the Anarkismo network only
need to become more regular so that a real common work can emerge and organize the
resistances at the international level.

The National Conference of the Italian Anarchist Federation (FAI) before the increase of
Italian military missions abroad with the approval of new war interventions in Africa,
which took place in the media silence on January 17 in the Chamber, decided to launch an
antimilitarist campaign to give initiatives already supported by local groups. ---- With
the new military missions, troops will be sent to Libya, Nigeria, Tunisia and other
African countries, so that the Italian government with a new military strategy officially
enters the confrontation between the imperialist powers for the neocolonial division of
the African continent. ---- The FAI National Conference launches a week of fighting from
10 to 18 March against new military interventions in Africa , which should be included in
the war policy that the Italian state is carrying out in different geographic areas with
the commitment of thousands of soldiers.

New research has again highlighted the dangers posed to health from the use of chemicals
used in cleaning. Disturbingly, the research has found that the use of cleaning products
has an impact on lung health comparable with smoking a pack of cigarettes every day. This
latest evidence adds to the urgent need for a fundamental review of how, as a society, we
carry out cleaning, not just in the workplace but also in the home. The research has also
again highlighted the dangers faced by women in particular from the use of chemicals used
in cleaning. ---- The study followed more than 6,000 people over a 20 year period and
found that long-term respiratory health is damaged 10 to 20 years after cleaning
activities. The researchers found that women suffered significant health problems after
the long-term use of cleaning products when compared with men. The results of the study
clearly showed that women involved in occupational cleaning or cleaning at home suffered
significantly increased damage to their lungs, when compared with women not involved in
cleaning. It was found that women who worked both as cleaners while also cleaning in the
home suffered the most damage to their lungs. The damage caused to the lungs by cleaning
was found to equate to the same damage caused by smoking 20 cigarettes a day over a
similar period. This is a truly frightening finding considering the link between smoking
and lung diseases such as lung cancer and asthma.
The study noted that more research was needed in order to establish why women were more
adversely affected by the chemicals than men. However, one part of the explanation as to
why women were found to be more adversely affected is the fact that far fewer men in the
study worked as cleaners. A further explanation is that far more women in the study were
exposed to cleaning chemicals than men; of the 3,298 female participants in the study,
85.1% reported being the person cleaning at home.
This research is significant, not only because it is one of the few studies that has
looked at the long-term effect that cleaning chemicals have on the lungs, but also because
it examined the impact that cleaning at home has on the lungs, an area thus far largely
neglected. The researchers thought that the extent of the damage to the lungs can be
explained by the fact that chemicals in cleaning products irritate the fragile mucous
membranes lining the lungs. As one researcher noted, the dramatic results are not that
surprising when you consider that you are inhaling "small particles from cleaning agents
that are meant for cleaning the floor and not your lungs".
The other the big surprise was that the results were quite consistent. The study looked at
lung function measurements from 22 study centres across Europe, yet the results were
remarkably similar. As one researcher stated: "After following people for 20 years the
results still stood out, even across a multi-centre, multinational study".
This latest study helps to explain why numerous other studies have found that cleaning can
lead to such chronic respiratory diseases as emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma. Nor
is respiratory disease the only danger faced by cleaners. Studies show that a high
proportion of cleaners suffer from tendonitis, hand-arm vibration syndrome, severe back
problems, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and rotator cuff tendonitis, to name but a
few conditions. All of these conditions lead to chronic pain, loss of earnings and the
strong possibility of permanent disability.
Despite the fact that there is mounting evidence that cleaning can seriously damage your
health, little is being done about it. The fact that cleaning, both in the home and in the
workplace, is still largely done by women is a major factor as to why the dangers posed by
cleaning are not taken more seriously. If anything, things are getting worse as the
casualisation of cleaning jobs gathers pace, with workloads increasing and more pressure
being put on cleaners, the cost of which is being paid in terms of damage to their health.
The need for cleaning is essential to maintaining a healthy society and is fundamental to
the running of the economy. Yet cleaning is a marginalised, low status activity, which is
avoided like the plague by the better off and more powerful, at the expense of the weaker,
less organised sections of society. If the essential everyday activity of cleaning is ever
going to be made truly safe, there will have to be fundamental changes in the way society
is organised, with the aim being to eliminate the entirely avoidable risks involved in
cleaning. Part of this will have to include the task of cleaning being shared equally
across the whole of society.

Federation pamphlet, Is Your Cleaning Job Killing You?, which can be found at:

Turkish army and Turkish-backed jihadist militias continue to attack the Kurdish canton of
Afrina. Kurdish communities and their allies are mobilizing to support around the world.
The soon-to-be solidarity demonstration was also held in Prague on Monday 12 March. ----
In Prague, on the Loretán Square in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, several
dozen people came together to condemn the unprovoked attack of Turkey on the predominantly
Kurdish populated area of Afrino in northern Syria. The demonstration hosted the
Initiative of Non-Racism!, Youth Green, Social Solidarity and the Prague branch of the
pro-Turkish Turkish People's Democratic Party (whose members and members have recently
faced an unprecedented wave of repression in Turkey), in response to the information that
Turkish occupiers are already only two kilometers from the city and there is a danger of
ethnic cleansing and the massacre of the civilian population.
The event began at 5 o'clock, when an open letter was read, addressed to Justice Minister
Robert Pelikán and Minister of Foreign Affairs Martin Stropnický. You can download, print,
sign and send to the address of the mentioned lords and you can find it on the Non-Racism
Initiative website!
The event was followed by a speech by the representatives of the Kurds present, the Young
Green Speech, and the Kurdish women's call for international solidarity was also read.
Speeches were intertwined by chanting passwords in Kurdish and Czech.
At the end of the event, participants and participants issued YPG and YPJ flags over their
heads spontaneously in front of a nearby Turkish Embassy. We were pleased that several
passing drivers gave us the support of truancy and waving. In front of the embassy, the
police were waiting for us, but besides the folklore, in the form of accidental
legitimation of the participants, there was no conflict. It is worth mentioning that the
present guardians of the law were slightly overwhelmed by the fact that the upcoming
demonstration did not have an official organizer and they wondered that we were "here as
they themselves came from the Czernin Palace, right?" Since, unfortunately, participation
in an unannounced gathering is not an offense, we can only recommend this way of
"organizing" events.
On the spot there was a loud chant for a moment, and a speech by the representative of the
Anarchist Federation - Prague, which we published in the full text, was spoken.
Right now we can say that everything is just starting out yesterday - it can be assumed
that the proto-fascist erdogan regime is not only satisfied with Afrin and the attack on
the most anti-authoritarian anti-authoritarian project of our time - Rojava - will
continue. Other actions are already in preparation - but at the same time, we remind you
that you do not have to wait for another demonstration, how to fight Africa's defenders
much, just pick one that is closest to you.
Speaking at AF - Prague:
Let's be realistic. The Turks are in range from Afrika and the Turkish state, whose
aggression we want to stop, is extremely arrogant and understands the terribly exact truth
of its power. It lies in the possibility of killing, imprisoning and blaming criminals,
being a self-appointed judge, a fanatical jury, and a sadistic party. And Erdogan knows it
very well and makes full use of it. It's all the worse that he knows too well how naively
it looks like Europe and neoliberalism as such. He feels too well that the West needs
allies in order to keep his business as usual even when international politics becomes
increasingly violent chaos. That is why it is strong and we should not even make the
slightest illusion - as Turkey fills fascism, we have to admit it is all able.
Let's be realistic, but do not give up. The future is as always unsigned and no one knows
what can happen. That is why we will join the great and right fight of the Kurds and bring
the echoes of Afrina's suffering to our cities, to hear the local power. While we are
skeptical of any state power, it is clear that without pressure on the state and
international organizations, it is not possible to save Afrians. Therefore, let us be
pragmatic. Although we have not chosen such a land for the fight, we can win on it.
Let's inspire those we want to help. If we have at least a fraction of courage and
determination as those who defend Afrin and other Kurdish autonomous regions, few can stop us.

On 20/1, Turkish troops began to attack air and artillery against the positions of the
Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the canton of Afrino, part of the Democratic Federation
of Northern Syria or else Rosawa. The bombing of Turkish troops has also hit civilian
targets. The number of wounded and dead remains unclear. At present, the Turkish army has
encircled Afrin, where 800 thousand people remain free besieged without water, food, and
drugs. A few days ago, Erdogan launched threats against the Kurdish Rosa, saying that
Turkey has expansionist aspirations towards the area of Manbiz, Kobani and Kamilli, which
they are about to end through militaristic interventions. The 20th. ---- Turkey's
generalized military assault on the liberated Rosava lands was made with the consent of
the central and regional imperialist powers operating in the Middle East region, and
especially with the consent of both Russia, which withdrew the troops from Africa and from
Iran. In a tripartite agreement between Russia, Iran and Turkey in Astana, it was decided
to establish areas to restrict the tensions in the Aleppo and perimeter of Indlib, as well
as the removal of Islamist troops from these areas. These al-Qaeda militia organizations
are funded and supported by Turkey. The Assad regime, however, with the help of its stable
allies in the region, Russia and Iran, that is, he wants to append for himself the region
of Idlib, the northern part of which is under Turkish occupation.
Turkey, however, not only did not "nudge" and remove these organizations from the region
but found the opportunity to increase its influence on them and to integrate them into its
plans to hit the canton of Afrin, which borders northern with Turkey, south with Indlib
and west with a Turkish occupation zone called the "Shield of the Euphrates". So, Afrin is
surrounded by Turkish military forces and their allies. Assad's military units are
withdrawn from the border with Manbiz, opening a pass for the Turkish army and the Free
Syrian Army (FSA) to hit Afrin at his rear. Assad remains faithful to his dependence on
Russian interests, so he does as well. At the same time, the US, which up until now
supported the Rosa Kurds in terms of funding, arms supply, military training and aid, said
in a Pentagon statement that units of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) focusing
exclusively on armed conflict with ISIS, will not receive US support from now on. At the
same time, ISIS launched a fierce attack on Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in eastern
Syria. The forces of the revolutionary Kurdish revolutionaries are in a dilemma, being
under terrible pressure. They have two huge open fronts, in Africa and in Eastern Syria.
Afrins defend 10.
The areas of constraint on the tensions referred to above were, on the basis of the Astana
agreement, ultimately attributed to the Assad regime. But Islamist armed organizations -
Turkish allies - have not yet left the Idlib district. It seems that there are vibrations
inside the newly formed but opportunistic, as it seems, Turkey-Russia-Iran coalition.
However, this does not in any way mean its dissolution. It is a fact that Turkey seeks to
become a pro-world power in the Middle East chessboard. She teeth her teeth in the US and
Russia, and is trying to increase in size. It can blackmail transnational agreements and
alliances, but its constant enemy is the Rosa Kurds and the libertarian experiment of the
democratic confederation. Russia, Iran, and the Assad regime find a common place in its
goal. The Turkish occupation of Northern Indlim and the Shield of the Euphrates is holding
Turkey in the game of Syrian civil war and geopolitical developments in the Middle East.
Turkey has spotted the region's energy sources and suppressing the Kurdish revolution in
Rosava and is not ready to step back. Turkey currently holds the North Indili region as a
negotiating paper for a possible exchange of it with the Afghan canton. Turkey has spotted

The almost complete elimination of ISIS marks the beginning of a difficult period for
defending the social revolution in Rosawa. Now, the revolution is either going to be a
direct target for attacks by the imperialist forces operating in the region, or to become
a target for manipulation by the great powers (see the US), who will want to use it for
their benefit the promotion of their designs against their opponents. The geopolitical
pressures, the economic and military dependence of the YPG units and the YPJ are about to
culminate now that the ISIS hours are over and the cyclone's eye is to be transferred to
Rosawa. Although, for our part, we do not suffice for a pure and safe condemnation, albeit
temporary, part of the revolutionary movements with state formations (with what this
implies), this certainly does not mean that we forgot even for a moment that these
alliances strongly undermine the very foundations of a possible emancipatory and
liberating prospect. Capital has international displacement in the world of the
internationalized market economy, as opposed to the revolutions emerging from a particular
local boundary. Therefore, the only way to release revolutionary movements from
geopolitical pressure and economic and military dependence on various imperialisms is to
promote proletarian internationalism and the widespread outbreak of social revolutions,
especially in neighboring countries. Thus, social revolutions can be defended by
multiplying them.
We are not totally identifiable with the model of democratic confederation. We recognize,
however, his contribution to the emancipatory course of women and the struggle against
patriarchy, multi-racial coexistence and internationalism, in the effort to implement the
precepts of social ecology, direct democracy, anti-federalism and renewal modern
revolutionary liberation prospect. We know that the Revolution in Rosawa secured freedoms
and met a significant part of the needs and desires of the oppressed social base in an
environment that until recently had been plagued by religious fundamentalism, despotic
state sovereignty, sexism and generalized conservatism. For these reasons we do not
complain about our anarchist "purity"
The oppressed and exploiting of this world do not have to divide anything between us. We
must find ourselves on the same side of the checkpoint, despite what the 'national'
narratives are saying, wanting to perpetuate political freedom and economic exploitation
from the bottom. Our common enemy is state and capital, not people who are in the same
social and class as ours. At a time when war plans are dwindling and slowly seeming to
approach their diaspora and in the West itself, the proletarians are the ones who are
destined to become northern in the canons of the sovereigns. The bourgeoisie neither
fights nor covers the cost of wars. Their wars pay them out of their pocket and with their
own blood the proletariat itself for the interests of capital.
I find myself in passing, a steady militaristic tactic is the so-called "war on democracy
and justice" or "war on terror", which has been used in particular by the United States.
and it has also been put into practice in the Middle East's explosive environment for the
extermination of ISIS, which has itself evolved into Euro-Atlantic imperialism and its
satellites in the region (see Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey). Turkey's Foreign Minister
Melvot Tsavousoglou said Turkey's intervention is aimed at combating "terrorism" and in
the contradictions of opportunistic alliances, Turkey's presidential spokesman appealed to
the United States. to withdraw the support of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The
dominant narrative calls terrorists those who struggle against the tyranny of the state
and capital. For us the decoding of the above message has to do with the side of the class
camp in which everyone is. And we are in the opposite camp. In the camp of the oppressed
and the exploited, those who live by their work, the unemployed, the poor and the unloved.
YPG fighters and YPJ fighters are battling with the gun in hand for social liberation. On
the other hand, the wars attempt to be purged of the victims' hatreds, by the "mitigating"
of "restoring" the abused human and democratic rights. Behind these authoritative
embellishments, for the eyes of the world, lies the more cruel brute of capitalism and
state power, painted with blood of proletarians to satisfy the interests of political and
economic elites. Such interventions have given political / institutional, economic and
military power to the theocratic and totalitarian regimes that function as marionettes of
the imperialists and ducts of their aspirations.
As part of the social base, we are not going to turn the barrels of arms towards our class
brothers, from whom we are separated only artificially from the upper frontiers, nations
and religions, in order to reinforce the disorientation from the bottom from the political
and social oppression and economic exploitation that exist and divide themselves among
themselves rather than the community of their material interests. The only war we are
involved in is the unstoppable social and class war, whose end we seek to be the social
revolution that will precipitate the world of state and capital to enable universal
humanitarian coexistence and generalized social self-management on its bases libertarian
communism.
We express our unwavering solidarity with the Kurdish revolutionaries of Rosawa and with
the internationalist anarchists and communists who are fighting alongside them. The
safeguarding of the Liberation Revolution in Rosawa is a mound in the global pursuit of
state and capitalist totalitarianism and a bright example of resistance and revolutionary
social transformation. After the heroic battle of Kobani, defense of Afrins is the
continuation of the people's struggle in Kurdistan for a world of freedom, equality and
solidarity.
