On September 25, at the city council, during a city council meeting, there was a press 
conference organized by the authors of the report "Green areas in Poznan are threatened 
with buildings. Report on the anti-ecological policy of the city authorities " . ---- The 
report was drawn up by the residents of Poznan, gathered in groups that fight for the 
preservation of eight green areas in the city. These grounds are threatened by buildings. 
In all these cases, the threat of irreversible destruction of greenery is a direct 
consequence of the decisions made by the city authorities. These decisions cause 
residents' dissatisfaction, which makes subsequent areas in the city a source of social 
conflicts, which often last for years. Contrary to the pre-election statements of 
politicians and the hopes of the inhabitants of Poznan, the loss of power by the team of 
President Grobelny in 2014 did not contribute to solving the long-term conflicts 
concerning green areas in Poznan. What is worse, the policy of the current authorities has 
caused the existing conflicts to sparkle, and also caused new ones.

The conference was attended by entities that created the report: councilors from 
Naramowice, Umultowa, Kolektyw Kapielisko, Kolektyw Rozbrat, Stowarzyszenie Zielona 
Grunwald, Zielona Staroleka Association, management of the Surma Archery Club operating in 
the Kasprowicz Park, and social activists striving for Rataje Park - Aneta Mikolajczyk and 
Lechoslaw Rachwal. Together, we are demanding that the city authorities cease their 
activities, which lead to the development of eight green areas in Poznan.

HERE digital version of the report.

For more than 2 months in various cities of Russia there have been mass protests against 
raising the retirement age. According to surveys, so-called pension reform is not approved 
by about 90% of the country's residents. Despite all this, on July 19 the State Duma 
passed the bill in the first reading. ---- Tomorrow, September 26, will be the second 
reading of the predatory bill. From 9 o'clock in the morning near the building of the 
State Duma there will be a protest action in the form of a meeting with deputies. ---- 
Moscow anarchists took part in marches and rallies against raising the retirement age and 
intend to continue to go on the action with calls for a general strike against another 
robbery of the working population. ---- Meeting "Anarchoblok against raising the 
retirement age" in contact

As Anarchist Political Organization with a steady presence in the TIF's mobilizations over 
the past three years, we participated in this year's demonstration by inviting and 
building an anarchist block with Kamara and a central banner "AGAINST CAPITAL CUTTING, 
STATE INTEGRATION & FASHIC CONFORMITY. GAME FOR LIFE & FREEDOM ". The course of Saturday, 
September 8, held in a police city, was another opportunity for us to stand up against 
government rhetoric and every effort to renew the social legitimacy of sovereign assault, 
impoverishment, state repression, pillage of nature, nationalism, war, fascism and modern 
totalitarianism. ---- Along with the demonstration and the nationalist rally that took 
place at the same time, partners and even teams of the OD together with solidarity guarded 
the occupations of Libertatia and Mundo Nuevo. After the end of the demonstration, 
hundreds of fighters fared with their presence and combatance the neighborhoods of the 
center of Thessaloniki so as not to leave room for attacks by groups of fascists who 
attempted unsuccessfully to find themselves in the center of the city and despite the 
coverage provided by them police, which then attacked comrades, in at least one case (in 
Rotunda)

Also on Sunday, September 9, as Anarchist Political Organization, we held a propaganda 
gathering of internationalist solidarity in Kamara against the state and capital, war, 
nationalism and fascism. At the same time, the anti-fascist concentration that was called 
by the anti-fascist assembly "Voluntad Antifascista" for Monday 10/9 against the 
concentration of the Nazi arrests of the Athens Stock Exchange was also propagated.

Faced with the attack of the decadent dominating world and the dystopia of modern 
totalitarianism, where the vast majority is impoverished and subdued, the only prospect is 
class and internationalist solidarity among the peoples, the organized counterattack of 
the exploited classes and the overthrow of the world of capitalism and the state , the 
creation of a society of equality, freedom and justice

NO OTHER WORLD IS LONG AS SOON AND CAPITALIZATION

TO REMOVE A DEMAND IN THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE STATE INTEGRATION AND TO THE COMPETITIVE CONFORMITY

ORGANIZATION AND RACE FOR SOCIAL RESPONSE,
ANARCHY AND FREEDOM COMMEMORATION

People currently in Direct Provision talk about the dehumanising conditions and the large 
profits being made out of their suffering by the companies that own the direct provision 
centres. People don't understand why we ended up in Direct Provision, we hope to bring our 
stories out of the shadows of Irish society.[audio]

The new Italian government - resulting from a coalition between the Five Star 
organizations and the League - is an assembly with unstable electoral balance. Torn 
between these different components, the Italian executive sails to leave all classical 
Italian political forms in disarray, while accentuating clientelism. ---- Whatever 
everyone thinks about the non-party, in theory, the Five-Star Movement (M5S), his victory 
in the last general election is a surprise only outside Italy. This movement, which really 
emerged out of political circles, recorded in the polls as in the discussions in the 
coffee shop and in the alcoves, a sympathy that has been growing. ---- Obviously, the 
spark of departure was not a popular revolt but the bet of a quasi-retired humorist. 
Giuseppe "   Beppe   " Grillo was the spark, but if the fire started in the meadow, it was 
because the conditions were favorable for the fire. The victory is unequivocal - 32% - 
leaving the second party of the ruling coalition, the fachos of the former Northern 
League, at 17%  ! One-third of voters voted for the 5S move, compared to only 1/6 (half !) 
for the League. Nevertheless, the other big winner remains the abstentionist party, 
because even if it does not reach the French level, it was the highest of all the known 
elections, 27%. We must therefore relativize the craze for the League or the M5S, of 
course, unless it is for the political circus.

Repolitization in trompe l'oeil of the 5-star movement
The M5S, consistent with their disruptive ideology, went alone to fight. The League, true 
to its rantings, has joined three other right-wing parties just as avant-garde as it. This 
coalition finishes at 37% and 109 seats. Among them, the party mafio-entrepreneur 
communicating Silvio Berlusconi. The parliamentary left-wing coalition had no less than 
five dinosaurs that end up at 18 percent and 86 seats. Other parties or coalitions, 
including the revolutionary CasaPound Nationalists (self-represented), do not realize 
enough votes to sit. The M5S alone get 88 seats ... So we must ally. As a result, there is 
now a bitter after taste because the league is on the rise for recent contextual reasons 
(migrants and Acquarius). ? Clearly, this means that the traditional parties have 
collapsed, Berlusconi is trying to capitalize on the alliance with the League that 
considers it has been and ignores it, the parliamentary left parties are pulverized, the 
far-right parties or right represent the nuisance booster force that the M5S is forced to 
aggregate if he really wants to put his proposals. Some M5S members and journalists talk 
about an Italian form of hostage-taking.

The game of alliances favors the right turn
"   Make everything change so that nothing changes   "  : this adage that puts Lampedusa 
once again on the front of the stage since it comes from the novel by Tomaso di Lampedusa 
in a classic of Italian literature, seems to stick perfectly to the case Italian. Finding 
itself in this political situation, the first proposal of the Prime Minister had been 
refused (too anti-Brussels), the second ready to laugh the next day. Indeed, Giuseppe 
Conte would have a little '   hacked  "His CV way Rachida Dati a few years ago. Practices 
that are all classic in a country marked by a subtle form of corruption and clientelism 
that, if they manage slowly with the anti-mafia struggles, nevertheless persist in an 
unbearable way for Italians in everyday life. Inside, it is the chief of the League that 
sticks, Matteo Salvini. Its program is simple and understood, to send back Roma, migrants 
and any foreigner entered illegally, to close the door to immigration. Italy having the 
lowest birth rate in all Europe and aging like all European countries, we can expect the 
impossibility of achieving this fantasy except to return the women to the maternity force. 
Italy is preparing more surely on this subject to have to measure the hiatus between firm 
speeches on foreigners, and more and more migrants, with a misunderstanding pushing for 
the one that will really prevent foreigners from coming, so more to the right. Another 
rich idea of Salvini, allow the citizens to defend themselves officially in organized 
group, in short leagues or militias of self-defense. The League having the wind in its 
sails, the social proposals of the M5S, its critics of the European Union sometimes close 
to a certain Mélenchon in France, his proposal for an unconditional basic income, but a 
transitional one for the most deprived (with no real relation to the basic income defended 
by the French Movement for a basic income or the universal historical allowance), are 
becoming secondary and becoming more and more inaudible. And the fact that most of the 
elected representatives are not actually professional policies makes them more and more 
inability to take up control or convincingly answer the budget criticisms of the expenses 
to be incurred for the proposals of the M5S. Italy has a level of debt close to Greece 
before the Brussels punishment. We must therefore expect in this context to be 
unpredictable. Given the mode of operation of the M5S, they may as well resign this no 
longer satisfying them at all And the fact that most of the elected representatives are 
not actually professional policies makes them more and more inability to take up control 
or convincingly answer the budget criticisms of the expenses to be incurred for the 
proposals of the M5S. Italy has a level of debt close to Greece before the Brussels 
punishment. We must therefore expect in this context to be unpredictable. Given the mode

resign this no longer satisfying them at all ! This will allow old traders to take the 
place still hot and perpetuate what was already long. The climate will, of course, be at 
best Euro-skeptical, at worst a troublemaker, but an Italexit would make the Italian 
financial situation apocalyptic from the point of view of the prevailing economic 
orthodoxy. But these new, they are capable of everything ...

The Italian political minestrone
Giuseppe Conte, President of the Council, from the South, a professor of private law, 
spoke with politeness but clearly against an extended welfare in a country that already 
has few insurance and social benefits.

The M5S occupies the following ministries: relations with parliament and direct democracy 
Riccardo Fraccaro, south Barbara Lezzi, justice Alfonso Bonafede, defense Elisabetta 
Trenta, infrastructure and transport Danillo Toninelli, culture Alberto Bonisoli, health 
Giulia Grillo (without relatives with Guiseppe Grillo), environment General Sergio Costa, 
economic development and social security Luigi di Maio (right arm and successor of 
Grillo), European affairs Paolo Savona (that one even that had been refused as President 
of the Council by the President of the Republic for euro-skepticism, a height  !). Almost 
all of them are perfect unknowns, as much as novices in "   politiquanteries  ". To the 
economy, Giovanni Tria. The latter was chosen while he was clamoring the agreement " vague 
   " , according to him, between League and M5S. He ruled in favor of a flat tax (the 
single tax rate on income), which can openly question the need for funding for the M5S 
basic income. Foreign affairs, a convinced Europeanist (we are no longer at a 
contradiction) Enzo Movero Milanesi.

The league obtains the following ministries: to our equivalent of public services Giulia 
Bongiorno, to regional affairs (Italy has five autonomous regions or special statutes) 
Lorenzo Fontana, to agriculture Gianmarco Centinaio and to education ( our national 
education) Marco Bussetti.

These are, until today perfect marionettes of Salvini (who is Minister of the Interior). 
Knowing that the League has often voted for more independence of the regions (ie "   do it 
well, and farewell to equalization because we spend too much money for the South   ") not 
to say do Secession from Rome and below, the decor is set so that it is prepared quietly.

An unexpected actor but oh so welcome has been introduced since mid-June in the debate. 
Roberto Saviano, the anti-mafia writer, took the floor to talk about Salvini jester after 
the latter, in his delirium of budget cuts, felt that his protection should be removed 
because unnecessary. Indeed, Saviano pointed out how, strangely, during the meetings of 
the League in Calabria and Sicily, all the families of Cosa Nostra (Sicily) and Ndrangheta 
(Calabria) were both very present and at the same time very peaceful times, despite the 
anti-South contempt and ethnocentrism of Salvini and the League. Chance, surely ...

Strasbourg 1918-2018 The Red Flag from the past to the future Die rote Fahne von der 
Vergangenheit in die Zukunft ---- In November 1918 the red flag floated a few days on the 
spire of Strasbourg Cathedral. The city has been under the authority of a council of 
soldiers and workers created following the return of Alsace-Lorraine sailors who 
participated in the mutiny of the German Imperial Navy. On November 10 the proclamation of 
the decay of the imperial power was followed by that of the social republic. But the 
accelerated arrival of French troops on November 22 put an end to the revolutionary 
experience. Today and in the future the red flag represents the banner of those who want 
to conquer social justice jointly in our country and internationally.

Program of 6 November in Strasbourg 14:00 - 17:00 Historical conference on the November 
1918 revolution 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm Traveling demonstration linking workplaces of workers

Dear climate activists, forest protectors, environmental, anti-coal, anti-nuclear, 
anti-racists groups and local Ende Gelände groups! ---- For Sunday 30.9.2018 Ende Gelände 
is calling for a big, decentralised day of action under the slogan "Hambi stays! Coal 
phase out now!" ---- We do not want a coal phase-out by 2038 nor 2030, rather we want to 
get out of coal immediately. We need to get out of this globally devastating dirty energy 
that has no future. ---- RWE, the utility responsible for lignite mining in the area, and 
the provincial government of North Rhine Westphalia are harming the climate and the future 
for short term profit - this is resulting in the destruction of the ancient forest 
Hambacher Forst and the ruthless eviction of the tree houses. ---- For the decentralised 
day of action on the 30.09. we are calling on people in many different cities in Germany 
and Europe to march for an immediate coal phase out and for the protection of the 
Hambacher Forst!

On the same day there will be a traditional forest walk - a weekly demonstration which is 
slowly but surely turning into a massive demonstration against the eviction and the 
upcoming cutting season. For the coming months, there is also a permanent climate camp 
nearby in Manheim (not Mannheim) where you can pitch your tent if you want to come earlier 
or stay later.

Most importantly: organise marches and creative solidarity actions in your cities!
Be loud, be visible and say "Hambi stays! Coal phase out now!"
**
If you are planing a solidarity action in your city and country then please add it to the 
end of the pad, so we can become a force to reckoned with.

If create a Facebook event or Tweets, please share your own stories and pictures and let 
our press ands ocial media gang know, so we can help spread word: presse (at)

We have been informed by our lawyers that the Public Prosecution will start summoning 
people to court who took part in the anti-repression demonstration in November 2016 in The 
Hague. Some people have already received subpoenas to attend court. ---- For the upcoming 
court case, the lawyers Ineke van den Brule and Juanita van Lunen will be available for 
the defense. If you wish to be defended and represented by them you can contact us. 
Because the case consists of 166 arrests of which all will likely be prosecuted we need to 
be sure to give the most complete and accurate information to our lawyers. ---- The 
required information is: ---- A scan or a clear picture of the subpoena ---- Telephone 
number ---- E-mail address ---- Name ---- Address ---- Social Service Number ---- Send the 
information to: fightrepression(at)riseup.net

On the 19th of November 2016 around 250 people gathered on Kerkplein in The Hague to march 
against the repression that has been targeting anarchists and anti-fascists in The Hague. 
Repressive measures like constantly prohibiting demonstrations and mapping activities and 
identities of anarchists and anti-fascists so to further implement repressive measures 
like area-bans. The anti-repression demonstration was also banned on the spot by the then 
The Hague mayor van Aartsen and was crushed by repressive police violence.

The demonstration was immediately kettled by the riot police and was under constant CCTV 
and police surveillance. The police then preceded to order demonstrators to remove 
face-covering clothing with the excuse that "that was the agreement". Let one thing be 
clear, there was no agreement about this.

It was obvious that the police was searching for an excuse to make a mass-arrest, and so 
it was. The police kettled the demonstration and attacked its participants. While the 
police beat up people on the square they called through megaphones that people should 
remain calm; a typical de-escalation tactic by the The Hague Police. People were punched 
in the face, an arm was dislocated and certain people left in need of medical attention. 
Headlocks were also used during the arrests and the few people who left the demonstration 
when the police ordered them also received some punches outside the kettle. In the end, 
166 people were arrested.

The demonstration was faced with the exact situation it condemned: systematically banning 
and limiting demonstrations, criminalising, attacking and arresting of anarchists and 
antifascists.

Libertarian alternative and anticolonialist cause lose a comrade, a friend, an activist 
whose strength, humor and revolt were communicative. ---- Gisèle Felhendler left. We had 
met him in 2007, in Paris in the XIX th arrondissement. With her companion Alban, she 
joined the Ligue communiste révolutionnaire, driven by the dynamics of the presidential 
campaign. ---- Gisele was not doing politics with a calculator. What interested him then 
was not the expectation of a big electoral evening, but the search for tools to federate 
the struggles and strengthen a global project of emancipation of all dominations. The 
project to create the New Anti-Capitalist Party (NPA) then raised a lot of hopes. Also she 
participated in the construction of ZIP committees in the XIX th district and animation of 
its international sector.

In 2008-2009, AL activists found her in the struggle for solidarity with the strikes of 
undocumented workers. She supported the picket line of Fabio Lucci's employees, near the 
Porte de Pantin. Operating in international solidarity with Palestine or with Tunisia 
during the Arab revolutions (2011), she helped exilé.es who faced police harassment in the 
squares of the XIX th . She was one of those who made the link between exiles, Tunisian 
immigration organizations and French organizations.

Gisèle (right) in the Boycott-Divestment-Sanction campaign.
It played an important role in promoting unitary groupings in the 19th century and 
participated in the local anti-capitalist network that included activists from the NPA, 
AL, Alternative, unitary communists and comrades of Solidaires. This collective impelled 
struggles, relaya others and obtained for example the return of the free festival of 
outdoor cinema Parc de la Villette, which attracts tens of thousands of people every 
summer. She also participated in the development of political cafes that the network 
impulsa throughout the district.

Between two struggles we liked to meet her in one of the bars she enjoyed for a drink or 
to listen to Trio de Janeiro, Alban's jazz-bossa group.

It was during these years that she co-founded the association Sortieir du colonialisme , 
and became one of the mainstays of the anticolonial week and the anticolonial salon of 
Paris, which are held every year. She also animated a show on behalf of Sortir du 
colonialisme on Libertarian Radio, then on Frequency Paris Paris Plurielle.

Militant at AL Paris Nord-Est
In 2012, the crisis that tore apart the NPA made collective struggle and the debate on the 
strategy of action and social transformation difficult. It was at this point that she 
moved closer to Alternative Libertaire and joined the collective AL Paris Nord-Est, where 
we benefited over the meetings from her knowledge, her desire to feed the libertarian 
communist project and his joie de vivre.

She took part in the activities of the AL Paris Nord-Est group, the anti-racist commission 
and the international commission, in particular by relaying calls, demonstrations, 
meetings and other initiatives that seemed important to her, especially when they came 
from Sorting out of colonialism or of the French Jewish Union for Peace .

Until 2018, Gisèle remained very active. She fought to the end. We lose a comrade, a 
friend, an activist whose strength, humor and revolt were communicative.

All our thoughts go to Alban, his companion, and to Elodie, his daughter, to whom we share 
our solidarity.

His friends and comrades of Libertarian Alternative

A collective tribute will be paid to Gisèle Felhendler on October 20th, at 7 pm, at the 
CICP, 21 ter rue Voltaire, Paris 11 e .

This is one of a series of articles being released by ACG in the run up to its event "The 
Dead End of Corbynism." This article is looking at the building of electoral coalitions 
and how voting is not a replacement for the work of uniting the working class against its 
enemy. ---- Dishonest Socialism. ---- There is something dishonest about the Labour 
party's socialism. Millions of people vote for the party for widely different reasons. 
Some vote because they believe in the parties' manifestos, some vote because they believe 
the party will be more radical in government than it is in opposition. Others vote for the 
party as part of an imagined transitions out of capitalism. Most, we suspect, vote out of 
habit or tribal loyalty or just because they seem like the least bad option. A few vote 
with an impressive passion and with hope, others out of a depressed sense of obligation. 
Who is being lied to? We are inclined to believe the current parties 2017 manifesto and 
conclude that it is the radical wing of Corbyn's party which is being (more or less 
knowingly) deceived.

But ACG's opposition to electoralism isn't based on moral purity, it's because it is 
ineffective as a tactic. The very fact that so many people invested so many different 
hopes into a single political project is its fundamental weakness and one which means that 
it can not take on the entrenched class interests in our society. Once elected a political 
party must appease those who wish it was more radical than it claimed on election day, and 
those who wish it was less "extreme". It can appear to do this when the economy is going 
well, but it could not wage a class war against the ruling class on such a weak basis of 
support.

The Labour party's socialism is a dishonest socialism because it is not will to do the 
hard work of building social movements, changing minds and building community groups. 
Instead it keeps policy positions vague, takes populist positions and worries about 
political pay off over principles. This is a problem, because, to quote Lucy Parsons "You 
can't vote your way up a hill." In other words, you cannot build socialism by winning an 
election, especially an election where the motivation of your voters are so diverse. You 
need to change minds and build communities based on mutual aid and class analysis. You and 
your political organisations need to embody and teach libertarian and socialist 
principles. The Labour party is a dishonest form of socialism because it promises 
different things to different people and it is aiming to seize government not to change 
society.

If not the Labour party, then what? ACG advocates the spreading of Anarchist Communist 
beliefs, so that revolt and revolution becomes more likely and is more likely to take a 
libertarian direction. We are motivated to work harder and we are not willing to invest 
our time in compromised political projects like Labour party.

Of course, our main concern remains the increase in the material potential of the project, 
with the contribution and collaboration of all those who wish to contribute to this 
endeavor... Athens (Aigaleo):The Eutopian Library ---- The operation of the Eutopian 
Library started with the initiative of Eutopia Publications (publications on libertarian 
municipalism) in 2007. Originally, it was housed in a space in the center of Karditsa 
until 2009. ---- Later, the operation of the Eutopian Library was suspended, without 
meaning that it did not continue to engage its members and friends with the collection and 
integration of relevant material to its potential. ---- From 2013 onwards, following a 
call from Eutopia to other people, he joined the Eutopian Workshop until the summer of 
2017, when its operation was discontinued.

The Eutopian Library has hundreds of book titles, mainly in Greek, English and Italian, as 
well as a set of other material (brochures, notices, posters, etc.) that come from the 
printed event of libertarian / anarchist action and ecological or broader radical 
thinking, basically in Greece.

All of this material will continue to be accessible to the new location of the Eutopian 
Library, according to its regular schedule.

Of course, our main concern remains the increase in the material potential of the project, 
with the contribution and collaboration of all those who wish to contribute to this endeavor.

At this point, we would also like to thank all those who, over the course of a decade, 
have already contributed to expanding the potential of the Eutopian Library.

Responsible for the operation of the Eutopian Library is its management team.
