Several Libertarian Alternative activists who visited Iraqi Kurdistan (Bashur) during the 
summer of 2018 give us an account of their observations and their point of view on the 
situation in this guerrilla zone. ---- Originally, we planned to go to Rojava (Syrian 
Kurdistan), but the geopolitical vagaries of this troubled region prevented us from doing 
so. It is therefore by default that we stayed in Iraq, where we were supported by Kurdish 
activists who took us to the Qandil mountains, bases of the PKK (Workers' Party of 
Kurdistan). ---- We are not specialists in the Kurdish question and the short time spent 
on the spot does not allow us to provide an exhaustive point of view on this one, but 
simply to lay the foundations for a more global reflection on the Kurdish movement. from a 
revolutionary and libertarian point of view.

 From our civilian camp in the mountains, we have been able to understand the political 
project of the PKK, the democratic confederalism theorized by its leader, Abdullah Öcalan 
from the Turkish prison-island where he has been imprisoned since 1999. Without going into 
details, he It is an ideology that no longer favors a Kurdish nation-state, but a 
confederation of democratic and self-managing communities pursuing an anti-capitalist goal 
and making ecology and feminism its cornerstones.

Its local application has, however, remained relatively obscure because of the 
difficulties to move in the guerrilla zone, but also because the mountains of Qandil are 
scattered only by small hamlets where the low density of inhabitants, the essentially 
pastoral economic activity and the already relatively communalist way of life does not 
require democratic structures such as those of Syrian Rojava. In the absence of a 
presentation of a functioning that we could not observe, we will present what appeared to 
us during our discussions with PKK cadres and militants, as the most interesting practices 
of a libertarian point of view: the feminist approach and the practice of tekmîl.

The liberation of women at the center of the struggle
We had the chance to meet activists involved at various levels in the Kurdish women's 
movement. it is necessary not to fetish these women, to be interested in the political 
project that they defend without considering them only as "  warriors  " victorious of Daesh.

In Qandil, Iraq, men and women take on collective tasks. (C) Yann RENOULT
Since its inception, the PKK has opposed the Kurdish people with feudal and tribal 
functioning in force, particularly oppressive towards women. Later, Öcalan's analyzes of 
women's and family issues lead to an influx of activists into the guerrillas.

The latter, however, have meant that we have had to fight within their own party against 
ordinary sexism and have torn off some political achievements by fighting internally 
against their male comrades.

 From a practical point of view, the work of emancipation of Kurdish women is understood, 
in our view, on two levels: the fight against the oppression they suffer as such, and the 
participation of women in the political functioning of women. their society.

 From an institutional point of view, every level of organization of society is, as far as 
possible, feminized: either by the requirement of parity at all levels, or by the creation 
of single-sex structures specifically concerned with regarding women on a daily basis 
(such as dragging men accused of violence in court).

The improvement of women's lives is taken into account in the policies implemented. The 
territories where democratic confederalism applies are thus meshed with non-mixed 
structures, the Women's Houses.

 From what we saw in the camp, the non-mixed is never questioned by men.

Alongside this political participation, the Kurdish women's movement fights against 
specific oppressions. The activists we met talked to us at length about their work to 
change attitudes and consciences in Kurdish society. More than by prohibitions, it is 
through education that they seek this change in mentalities, especially of young people, 
with regular interventions in schools. But men accused of violence (or volunteers), can 
also integrate "  rehabilitation centers " In which they can learn to question their 
behavior. A re-education that, according to the confession of our interlocutors, seems 
complicated, men with this annoying tendency, as in France, to be reluctant to any 
questioning.

But their conviction and determination seemed foolproof. We were particularly impressed by 
their non-virile approach to the revolution. They told us that "  the best guerrilla 
weapon is not the Kalashnikov, but the love of his comrades,  " and tried to propagate 
this conception of fraternal and "  sororitarian  " social relations .

Finally, jinology as the "  science  " of women's liberation must also bring about this 
change in consciousness through the reintegration of women into all the sciences and 
analyzes from which they have been banished by men. To understand the place of women in 
history, in human relations, to reconsider any analysis from a feminine and non-masculine 
point of view, must allow not only to restore the confidence of women not yet integrated 
into the movement, but also to modify the state of mind of men.

Qandil, Iraq. Dance occupies an important place in the life of guerrillas. (C) Yann RENOULT
"  The new man and the new woman  "
Derived from the Marxist-Leninist ideology, the success of the Kurdish revolutionary 
project is marked by the emergence of what they call "  the new man and the new woman  ". 
The modification of personal behavior constitutes one of the bases of the application of 
the democratic confederalism.

It is with this in mind that tekmîl was presented to us. The main tool of this search for 
personal improvement, this one takes everyday local life and interpersonal conflicts as a 
starting point for more global critiques, and / or oppressive behaviors to be modified. 
Concretely, the tekmîls that we have been able to attend resemble general assemblies 
having for subject the resolution of the conflicts and problems of organization of the 
camp. Theoretically, each level of society adopts its own tekmîl (guerrilla unit, village, 
neighborhood ...), which gathers as soon as necessary on simple request, even individual. 
A tekmil is divided into three parts: criticism, self-criticism, resolution. Starting from 
the criticism of the behavior of a member of the group, of a particular situation or 
operation, each individual concerned is led to identify the causes of the problem in his 
own behavior, and then to propose ways to solve it. The Kurds we met stressed the 
benevolence of the critics, allowing them not to rush off the incriminated people and to 
subscribe to a peaceful vision of social relations that offers the greatest chance for a 
constructive resolution of the conflict. It is often the case that an individual 
immediately refuses the criticism made to him, in which case the following tekmil will 
resume the conversation, and so on sometimes for weeks, until the problem is solved ... 
where exclusion in a few rare insoluble cases. and then to propose ways to solve it. The 
Kurds we met stressed the benevolence of the critics, allowing them not to rush off the 
incriminated people and to subscribe to a peaceful vision of social relations that offers 
the greatest chance for a constructive resolution of the conflict. It is often the case

individual immediately refuses the criticism made to him, in which case the following 
tekmil will resume the conversation, and so on sometimes for weeks, until the problem is 
solved ... where exclusion in a few rare insoluble cases.

Importantly, women are organizing single-sex tekmîls, and should not criticize each other 
in mixed tekmîls, so as not to allow men to use these criticisms against one of them or to 
divide them.

It was striking to note that in a fairly tough camp life (according to our western 
standards), in a context of military struggle (therefore potentially of intense stress), 
we did not witness any violent argument during our two weeks of presence. . The ability of 
the Kurds to calm tensions (although present at times), to seek a peaceful and 
constructive settlement to the smallest interpersonal problems, comes in our opinion 
behavioral changes allowed by the tekmîl.

Although these elements seemed to us very interesting and could inspire us to organize our 
own struggles, we also have questions about what we had the chance to see on the ground, 
not to make a lawsuit. but to mutually enrich our revolutionary movements.

We have seen for ourselves the importance of the "  cult  " of martyrs. Engaged in 
military conflicts for at least decades, Kurdish revolutionaries have paid a heavy price 
in human lives. Most of those we met had lost a family member or had a family member in 
prison. This cult of martyrs seemed to us to constitute a cultural base in its own right: 
the songs we listened to, the films, music videos and documentaries we watched, until the 
discussions that we had, turned in their vast majority around martyr.es or directly evoked 
them.

On the other hand, it seemed to us that the PKK largely controlled or inspired cultural 
production based on this cult of martyrdom. This cultural hegemony questions the ability 
of Kurdish youth to freely dispose and choose their destiny, other than by entering 
guerrilla warfare or political struggle. Nevertheless, it is only the young Kurds we have 
met, no doubt they are not representative of the entire population.

Another point that has intrigued us is the essentialization of genres. The discussions we 
had on this subject were limited to "  the Kurdish Woman As an inalienable historical 
figure, perhaps in an understandable desire to link tradition and emancipation of women. 
Although we were strongly impressed by the Kurdish women we met and the development of 
their political movement, we can only note the lack of consideration of queer and LGBT 
issues in general. Recall that when some international groups fighting Daesh in Syria 
openly claimed their queer identity, the Kurdish forces immediately dissociated 
themselves. The PKK does not focus specifically on opening its discourse on this issue, or 
at least does not publicize any specific policies on this subject.

Finally, the PKK, in opposition to its political program focused on direct democracy, 
seems to us to be based on a political elite, mixed, whose life is devoted to the 
functioning of the party. These militants, the kadros (cadres), constitute the backbone of 
the PKK.

Unfortunately, we do not know much about their role and their exact influence, and we 
readily admit that a purely democratic system can not arise without being referred by 
well-trained activists. But there is a risk of substitution of the popular power by that 
of the cadres of the party, likely to reproduce an avant-garde system harmful to the 
development of a popular autonomy.

Nevertheless, we know from our exchanges that the kadros (who are also the militants who 
carry the most the project of the democratic confederalism) are aware of these risks and 
think about solving them.

Of course, these criticisms are easy and remain from a quick and incomplete journey in 
Kurdish territory. Let us not forget that most areas where democratic confederalism is in 
place are at war, and often suffer from a more or less advanced form of blockade. 
Difficult under these conditions to achieve this program. Despite this, the political 
advances of the Kurdish revolutionary movement are impressive and inspiring for 
revolutionaries around the world. We thus consider individually that the Western 
revolutionary movements would have much to gain by importing the practice of Tekmil into 
their militant structures, possibly by adapting it to our cultural specificities.

Let us also keep in mind that democratic confederalism is a political model adapted to the 
local context: a history marked by ethnic conflicts, a less individualistic society than 
in the West, a less industrialized economy, and so on. An application stricto sensu of 
these precepts seems to us incompatible with the Western political situation where, 
according to certain PKK cadres, the revolutionary process goes much further and faces 
other problems than theirs. This does not prevent them from considering our struggle on 
the same level as theirs, as one of the many fronts of the ongoing international 
anti-capitalist struggle.

"If there is no sauna, it's not my revolution," Zizkov said on October 10 at about 5 
o'clock in the afternoon. It was an unexpected thing. The big critic of the American 
Social Center of Clinic and Squatting, Alexander Bella, built a sauna on the roof of the 
house in which he owns a flat without the permission of an association of apartment owners 
in the house. He finally became one of us, squatter. ---- So we decided to welcome our new 
colleague stylishly. We met in front of Prague 3 Town Hall with pickeys like "ODS = Really 
Good Sauna", "Sauning is not a crime" or "Sauna against anarchy". Even though the 
happening was not very crowded - about 40 people met - the mood was cheerful, the music 
was playing, and so it was worth it overall. Especially when the remake of a famous 
Italian guerrilla song, called "Bellu Chau", was heard. Most of the attendees brought 
bathrobes and towels if we were lucky enough and Sasha invited us to the sauna. Despite 
the repeated encouragement and manifestation of sympathy, however, the person remained 
naked somewhere in his den and refused to show. So a few people could see inside the town 
hall. We did not find Sasha, only the people from town hall noticed that it would be 
better to stay out.

For most passers-by and office workers, we have smiles on our faces, and we think that 
Sasha is probably a little disappointed with his speech of squat solidarity. But who 
knows? Maybe our visit will, on the contrary, bring more visits to his new squat.

Bella, however, denials and dares to sign up for his new career. Maybe soon, however, will 
come the day when our new friend will proudly come out of the sauna and say, "Bind and live!"

It doesn't protect people; it pits them against each other. ---- It doesn't foster 
togetherness; it breeds resentment. ---- It doesn't keep out predators, it gives them 
badges and guns. ---- The border does not divide one world from another. ---- There is 
only one world, and the border is tearing it apart." ---- The topic of Borders is one of 
the most discussed topics in news and media nowadays. One gets lost in the stream of tales 
of crisis, invasions, state regulations, support, repression, morality and realpolitik. 
---- In all this chaos, we can still feel, deep inside, that something is completely wrong 
with the border system, we feel it in our hearts, we think it in our minds, we read it in 
our books. ---- But how do we move from the thoughts and words we remember individually to 
a communal feeling?

Our reading night is an event where we want to get together and share some good readings 
about borders. We believe in the importance of experiencing reading as a collective act as 
a form of resistance and in the empowering feeling that doing so can generate.

Do you feel like sharing a prose text, a poem or your own words with us? Send us an email 
at barricade (at) acu.nl.

The reading should be max 10 minutes long and can be in whatever language you prefer.
If you don't feel like reading, join us anyway on Sunday 28 October at 20.30 at ACU to 
hear some readings about borders.

What follows is translated statement by our comrades in Brazil on the current and 
politically urgent situation in Brazil. As Brazil is rocked by economic recession, 
parliamentary coups and scandals, into the void has stepped far right-wing presidential 
candidate Jair Bolsonaro. Winning the first found of voting earlier this month Bolsonaro 
is headed to the second round on October 28 where he will face off against the Workers 
Party (PT) candidate Fernando Haddad. Often compared to Trump, Bolsonaro is actually far 
more dangerous with a much more coherent and reactionary ideology and in praise for 
torture and Brazil's previous military dictatorship. ---- To clarify language and 
references that may be unfamiliar to a US audience we have added reference notes at the 
end. The original statement, titled "Statement on the Current Class Struggle scenario in 
Brazil," can be found here and in Spanish translation here. We also recommend an interview 
on the situation with Brazilian anarchist Hugo Souza. For those in New York City, Black 
Rose/Rosa Negra - NYC will be hosting an event with speakers from Brazil on Saturday, 
October 20, details here.

By Coordenação Anarquista Brasileira (Brazilian Anarchist Coordination)

The current Brazilian political scenario requires a lot of lucidity and coolness for all 
popular organizers and their analysis of reality. We of Coordenação Anarquista Brasileira 
(Brazilian Anarchist Coordination), modestly, seek to give our contribution to the 
understanding of the convulsing social and political situation, which is defined by the 
legal-parliamentary coup that deposed Worker's Party (PT) President Dilma Rousseff from 
office. We recently experienced the breakdown of the so-called New Republic agreement from 
1988.[1]This pact maintained social exclusion of those at the bottom, at the same time it 
guaranteed minimum legal rights, in a coalition involving bourgeois politicians, 
corporations, the armed forces and part of the reformist sectors of the Left.

The construction of the Brazilian State, however, has always been closer to the interests 
of the imperialist shift powers than to its own population. The State has always 
criminalized the poor as a norm of institutionalized bourgeois democracy. The PT led 
governments since Lula have increased the criminal machine of public order operated by the 
entire legislative and judicial apparatus, reproducing the super-incarceration of the poor 
and Black population, as well as sustaining a repressive apparatus that attacks social 
struggles.

The so-called pact of class reconciliation was broken and the collaborationist agenda[of 
social compromise]was torn apart to be replaced by an agenda of financialized capitalism. 
These have replaced things such as social rights, relative freedoms and public services, 
which we should remember were historical achievements of popular movements.

The Empire Shows Its Claws
We cannot understand the current historical moment in our country isolated from the 
geopolitical reality of the Latin American continent. We need to calibrate our analytical 
tools and better locate Brazil as a peripheral nation within the world-system to 
understand what is at stake. The country has continued to maintain its primary industry of 
agro-exports and has aligned itself with the IIRSA Plan (Initiative for the Integration of 
  South American Regional Infrastructure, now called COSIPLAN).[2]This plan sought to 
maximise the exploitation of our natural resources and speed up the process of supplying 
international markets to the benefit transnational corporations.This plan is a new 
offensive aligned with free-trade treaties established between United States and countries 
in the region. It's an attempt to expand the neoliberal model in South America, supported 
by progressive and center-left governments.

The crisis of 2008 created major difficulties for the US to maintain their international 
agenda, which since the fall of The Twin Towers[the WTC 9/11 attack], began to present as 
the main objective the guarantee of their global hegemony which is evident by numerous 
aggressive military interventions by the empire. It's also evident that imperialism guides 
itself by the idea that "where Brazil goes, Latin America will go as well." It's clear our 
continent, Latin America, is seen as a strategic reserve of resources (political, natural, 
energy) for the use of US, which makes the political situation of Brazil so important to 
Washington.

The coup of 2016 did not only disassemble the small gains from the previous period as it 
made the financial and international control of the national economy stronger, by 
purchasing "assets." These adjustments are required to be made by the judicial class, 
especially the judges themselves, which can be seen by the fact the Lava-Jato 
investigation[3]is aligned with imperialism, by using the strategy of lawfare.[4]It also 
increases the control of infrastructure, renewable energies, service, health and education 
by North-American and Chinese corporations. In regards to oil, 13 multinationals have 
already appropriated 75 % of the pre-salt[oil below the ocean surface], especially, Shell 
and BP, whose last auction rounds took place in October this year. From a political point 
of view, the action of imperialism is to disrupt any possibility of the Brazilian 
situation (even if it's governed by a center-left reformist government) to represent any 
threat to its interests at continental level. It is important to clarify that the outcome 
of the current electoral race will significantly impact the crises of Venezuelan regime, 
possibly contributing to political destabilization, or even the possibility of military 
intervention.

The New National Security Doctrine: Politics and Threats of the Military
It must be pointed out that some years ago, while under Lula's Workers Party government, a 
new National Security Doctrine was inaugurated with General Etchegoyen of the Brazilian 
armed forces[appointed as Secretary of Security by Temer]. This doctrine sees groups 
linked to drug trafficking, human rights or environmental NGOs, "ideological" government 
agencies, and social movements linked to a left vision as being new internal enemies. 
Other elements of this doctrine is the emptying of the role of university and research, a 
tougher stance of the penal code, continuity and expansion of mass incarceration, and 
adoption of counter-espionage measures. The doctrine uses means of social communication 
control, the spread of rumors, discrediting of accusers and the use of false documents. 
The promotion of strikes, road closures, occupation of lands and buildings and the 
struggle for social rights for political minorities are characterised as "terrorist actions."

It was this new doctrine responsible for the anti-terrorism bill approved by Dilma. Its 
goal was to create a new pact, a "new democracy," where the military play an active role 
in the geopolitics of the continent and national politics.

To summarize: The "Democratic State of Law"[5]is mounted on top of a state of exception 
for the "dangerous classes " is now in the process of reconfiguration in the power plays 
of the dominant classes (in some places, the narco-state), and makes it emergence from 
reasons interior to the state and its relations with the interests of imperialism. Under 
these circumstances, reaction factors operate as a police State.  An adjustment that cuts 
so deep into the flesh of the people and deeply increased the ambitions of the capitalist 
class and its lackeys, sooner or later, calls security in their favor and extends the 
space of the exception to redefine the normality of the system.

The Center-Left Bets All Their Chips At the Polls
The Brazilian left and center-left bet their luck at the ballot box expecting bourgeois 
democracy to come to their rescue, protect their rights, and limit the strangle and defeat 
of imperialism. While the system lifts the gun sight and wears the toga or the uniform to 
exercise power, it is always with support from the US government. The opposition movements 
on the left which emerged after the legal-parliamentary coup, and which took the streets, 
now unfortunately enters into this pragmatic logic of the state and government, where the 
enemy of the far right-wing would be supposedly won by the ballot box and vote.

The center-left strives to channel these efforts into electoral build-up by spending all 
its energy with the institutional dispute and the rotten game of electoral parties, to the 
detriment of class struggle. The Brazilian political scene is tainted by the fraud of a 
representation which for the bourgeois liberals has always been a mechanism of usurpation 
of collective forces and common goods by the powerful will of minorities. But we know that 
the system twists the constitution and melts the rule of law when it comes to defending 
the interests of its dominant classes.

We must build a long-term work that points out the unions and popular organizations as the 
most correct alternative for the people to defend their rights and participate in 
political life and by deepening direct democracy, repudiating the reconciliation of 
classes, and giving combat without truce to proto-fascism.

Proto-Fascism as a Super-Dose of the Elite Program
Such configuration of political power is also supported by propaganda tactics and direct 
action from reactionary sectors and ideologically affiliated groups on the far right which 
are generally backed by law enforcement. A factor that gains incidence in the streets and 
that everything suggests that it will grow, making space for its agents to repress the 
national political scene and align it with what is happening at continental level.

But there is more. Coming together with this is economic frustration, the failure of 
political solutions through representation, and the destabilization of values associated 
with positions of power in family, culture, and education. We also see a conservative 
subjective production which uses religious evangelicals as a popular base for 
distribution. This new right transitioned from anti-PT rhetoric to a radicalized 
anti-political and anti-system rhetoric, setting itself up as a right that does not speak 
only to the elites, but also to the popular and peripheral sectors. They act in the social 
vacuum left by the center-left, which puts itself only in defense of bourgeois democracy.

The despicable figure of Bolsonaro is part of this attempt to deepen the destruction of 
social rights and the patriarchal violence against women, LGBT, indigenous, Blacks and 
maroons. Violence that materialized in several attacks throughout the country lead by 
Bolsonaro supporters, among which one that resulted in the brutal murder of Capoeira 
Master Moa of Katendê in Salvador.[6]Far from minimizing the barbarity that Bolsonaro 
represents, it is necessary to place him within the logic of the application of the 
adjustment[neoliberalism], of the imperialist recolonialization of the country at a faster 
pace than it would be under a center-left government.

The Polls Do Not Beat Imperialism, Tax Adjustment and Proto-Fascism!
The result of the elections therefore does not solve the complex context posed by the 
correlation of forces opposed to the working class. All scenarios only serve to deepen the 
class struggle and against oppression. The "useful vote" against the Bolsonaro sheet makes 
at most an extension, leading to a "third shift" that will not be decided at the polls. 
The struggle is long-term to build a class and mass alternative that does not surrender to 
the reasons of state, governability and agreements subordinate to the empire.But it must 
also be a social force capable of defeating the bourgeoisie, imperialism and its attacks.

Our class flags need to be lifted up at this time of proto-FASCIST AND NEOLIBERAL ATTACK. 
We must not succumb to the panic and fear caused by the reactionary elites. Our role is to 
actively resist, strengthen class solidarity, ensure the fight in the streets, and the 
permanent mobilization of from below!

Therefore, We Defend:
Unity of anti-fascism beyond the polls, at the base level and on the streets - struggle is 
what will define it. The unity will take place in action and mobilizations against the 
neoliberal attacks and the barbarity promoted by Bolsonaro and his supporters.
Fight for social rights. Fight against privatization and attacks on the bottom. Fight 
against attacks on education, welfare reform, fight against rising cost of living, 
criminalization of social movements and the process of genocide of the Black, peripheral 
and indigenous people.
Building of a general strike against the advancement of fascism and the attacks on the 
rights of the workers which is the agenda of imperialism of the next period and of the 
business elites and independent policies of the elections.

The Strength of the People Can Stop Fascism!
Against the Neoliberal Barbarism, Struggle and Organize!
To read more on the political situation in Brazil we recommend "Interview on the 
Assassination of Marielle Franco" and a statement by the CAB "Marielle Franco, Presente! - 
Political Murder and State Terrorism in Brazil."

Notes
1988 is the year Brazil's constitution was approved after the end of the military 
dictatorship which began in 1964 and lasted over 20 years.
The Initiative for the Integration of South American Regional Infrastructure (IISAR), now 
called COSIPLAN, regional development and integration plan to create regional 
infrastructure such as major highways often facilitate the growth of extractive 
industries. The effort is similar to Plan Pueblo-Panama in Mexico and Central America.
The Lava-Jato or "Car Wash" scandal was an investigation into political corruption 
involving numerous high profile politicians.
Lawfare, a term combining law and warfare, the use of law for warfare.
