Much is currently being discussed about the results of the 'anticorruption consultation':
While politicians and contractors celebrate they will continue to make laws and cheats in
their favor, a large part of the citizens of good (especially millennials and analysts)
blame people for not having taken to the threshold this referendum. ---- Faced with this,
we want to make it clear that we DO NOT believe in the reformist formulas of the social
democrats (whether they show beautiful harangues or sing reggaeton). We are not looking
for politicians to steal less, but to end the theft in a clear way, that is, to eliminate
politicians and parasites that are as unnecessary as aberrant once and for all. The state
can not fight corruption because the state is corrupt in itself, especially when it is
governed by a group that wants to maintain power at all costs.
What remains then? Organization and struggle to show that our communities can
self-regulate without the need for politicians, reforms, or parliamentary elections.
Remove power from below to any government, because we will always be opponents.
CONTRAINFORMATIVE REBELLION.

On August 25, the SOV Albacete of CNT-AIT organized actions against Granja de Ves in
response to the dismissal of their union delegate. The union demanded the reinstatement of
the delegate and denounced the working conditions in the farm.
The company, knowing about the actions,decided to change the hours of the shifts at the
last minute so that the workers would not go past the picket. After picketing at the farm,
an informational action was also held in the town center. Many people in the town welcomed
the picketers, showing solidarity against the farm boss. Towards the evening, a talk was
held in the town about the conflict and other matters related to the self-organization of
workers and anarchosyndicalism.

As part of the campaign "Enough exploitation for public money" of the Polish Syndicalists'
Union, construction workers have organized to fight for their unpaid wages. ---- These
employees worked in black for the subcontractor of the Real Estate Management Department
in the Warsaw Wola district, Edyta Lucinska. In 2016, they carried out repairs of
municipal and social premises. They never received remuneration from a subcontractor for
this work. ---- A lawyer cooperating with ZSP obtained a payment order for employees in
court, and after two years the execution was effective. ---- The case is important because
employees worked for the sub-contractor of the Real Estate Management Department without
any contracts. However, they managed to prove that they are entitled to remuneration for
the period worked. A spokesman for the District Office, and vice-mayor Marek Sitarski, did
not see any fault in the District's authorities in 2016 in the fact that the legality of
employment with the subcontractor was not checked.
ZSP demands compliance with social clauses in public tenders and the employment of
subcontractors' employees in a legal way on employment contracts.

Selby Semela, a leading figure in the 1976 revolt against apartheid, political exile, and
author (with Sam Thompson and Norman Abraham), of "Reflections on the Black Consciousness
Movement and the South African Revolution", passed away on Wednesday, 22 August, 2018,
aged but 60 years. ---- Born January 23, Pimville, Soweto, South Africa, he played a key
role in the 1976 student and worker revolt against the apartheid regime. The trigger was
the imposition of Afrikaans-language teaching in the wretched segregated schooling system
set aside for the black African working class and poor youth. But the revolt was a broader
response to apartheid, including the low wages and intense workplace racism faced by
parents, and the early onset of neo-liberalism: the state was rapidly raising rates and
charges in townships while cutting education money.
The revolt spread across the industrial heartlands of the Witwatersrand and the Vaal, and
then into the Western Cape - including here many Coloured working class youth, mostly
Afrikaans-speaking. It was part of a wave of struggle beginning with mass worker strikes
in the early 1970s. The struggles of 1976-1977 escalated into three general strikes,
massive confrontations on the streets with the army and police, and tragically, 575
deaths (451 at police hands alone).
In later years, many political parties have claimed ownership of the revolt, or pretended
their undergrounds caused or led it. In truth, it was young men and women like Semela -
who was key to the African Student Movement, then the Soweto Student Representative
Council (SSRC) - who played the key role. Politically, many were influenced by the Black
Consciousness Movement (BCM), which stressed changing minds as the basis of change; and
some by the bottom-up democracy promoted by the new unions.
Semela, like others, fled the country into exile. Others, like BCM leader Steve Biko, were
killed. From exile, Semela campaigned tirelessly against apartheid, promoting boycotts,
disinvestment, and sanctions.
In the 1979 "Reflections on the Black Consciousness Movement and the South African
Revolution", he was sharply critical of the vanguardist, top-down tendencies to hijack
struggles in pursuit of state power, of what he called "the old spinster-huckster
organisations": the African National Congress (ANC), the Pan-Africanist Congress (PAC) and
the South African Communist Party (SACP). He was also dismayed by the BCM's turn towards
political party and militarism after 1976. He argued that "the BCM's official proclamation
as an organisation spells out unfailingly that in its true colours as ideology and
hierarchy, it is an enemy of real black proletarian struggle in South Africa." At the time
he was influenced by Situationism, an anti-statist, anti-Leninist socialist tradition that
emerged in the 1960s; it stressed self-activity, workers' councils (soviets) and an end to
alienation.
At the time of his death, Semela lived in Columbia, Maryland, and leaves behind his wife
(Mary), sons (Linda Mathe, Rise, Naledi and Mohapi), grandchildren (Lwandile, Molemo, and
Warona), his brother (Tumelo) and his aunts (Mary Ntilane, Mavis Moloi, and Dora Simela).

We have seen the intellectual and political formation of Francisco Ferrer, let us look at
the creation of the Modern School. It will radiate in the Europe of the " Belle Epoque "
and, disseminating, reach Belém, who knew this particular period of the early XX th
century also saw the creation of a rational school in one of his popular barrios . ----
1901, Barcelona. The first modern school welcomes its students and for the first time in
Spain, it will not be under the aegis of the monarchical state or the Catholic Church but
according to the principles of a man steeped in humanism and trained in anarchism with
scientific features of his time. The Church, which can then be described as a machine for
creating obedient illiterates and fearing divine wrath, exercises a kind of hegemony over
education that it does not taste very much when it comes into question. by a man linked to
a current of protesting thought. In fact, the authorizations were more than difficult to
obtain, and working on material without religious connotations proved to be an arduous
undertaking, so much so that the didactic books were elaborated especially by and for the
school.
One of the main characteristics that revels the clergy and the well-meaning society is the
mixed nature. Co-education, as it is then called, is evoked thus by Ferrer in a letter
sent in 1900 to his friend José Prats: " My plan is that the school is primary
education[...], mixed is to say, with boys and girls together, as at Cempuis. " Here we
see how Ferrer instead this mode the center of his educational work by repeating the
experience of Paul Robin and his orphanage Cempuis. But in this letter, we find another
central objective for the Catalan educator: the class struggle. " If during the day it
will serve as a school for children, in the evening, it will serve adults by giving
lessons in French, English, German, taquigraphy and accounting. At the same time,
conferences will be given and there will be a room available for trade unions and groups
of workers, resistance societies that do not deal with elections or class improvements,
but work to its complete emancipation. "
Thus, the rational school of Ferrer clearly proposes an objective based on anarchist
principles and posits as a principle the education of both youth and adults by joining in
a single place school education and popular education. Like, in France, a certain Fernand
Pelloutier and his Bourses du travail.
From this school-matrix will emerge everywhere modern schools in Spain (many modern
schools already exist there during the lifetime of Ferrer: 32 of them are thus listed in
the Iberian kingdom at the time of his death) as well as in the world, and the execution
of Ferrer in 1909, under a false pretext, will give even more strength to this movement:
New York sees the birth of a Modern School in 1911, Lausanne in 1910, and in 1912 it is
the turn of the Brazil's economic capital, São Paulo, to found its modern school ... the
beginning of a movement in which Belém do Pará will participate a few years later ...
