On Saturday, 29 September 2018, the 7th self-organized anti-racist football tournament
Brcnimo racism was held in Zagorje ob Savi, at the Proletarec Youth Center in Zagorje
Youth Center. ---- The organization of the event was reunited by the Organized Community
of the Anarchists of Zasavje - Zasavje Osa, Youth Center Zagorje and ŠKLAB - the Club of
Zasavska students. ---- The Live Library of Zasavje also took place at the event, where
books become people and share their own stories with readers. In the afternoon, Trbovlje
Youth Center carried out the game Kovcek, in connection with the topic of migration. In
this game, you stand for a while for a migrant's place, which, due to a set of
circumstances, must leave your home country ---- The tournament was attended by 13
football teams, which were divided into four groups. This year's tournament was
characterized by the high quality of the teams, the games with great hits and turnovers,
the debut appearance of certain local teams and, above all, a sunny and social day full of
positivism.
At the tournament, we also demonstrated solidarity with the Libertatia Social Center in
Thessaloniki, Greece, which was targeted by neo-Nazis several months ago and burned to the
ground. Its activists have already announced the reconstruction and restoration of this
important place in the city.
The weather was nice and sunny, at the moment windy, just right for a football game. The
fans encouraged their teams, the tension was increasing in the final matches when the
bouts in the quarter-finals and the finals took place. In the end, after a tie with the
Cesnel team to tie you, after the penalty shot, the team of FC Mulci earned the third
place. In the final, Asfalting team defeated the team of Top Gunners and earned the first
place. The scorer was Endi Bytyqi. Žiga Menart of FC Mulci was called on to replace
Spartak's Spartak. His team received the prize for the most fair-play game.
At a time when the hostile atmosphere and the situation in society and the public space
explicitly increase, when there are many more socially acceptable terms of racism,
nationalism, xenophobia, hatred and intolerance to "different", football tournaments
within the framework of the initiative Brcnima racism are all the more important to build
a different, more tolerant and solidarity society and a different football in general!
We would like to thank all the volunteers, photographers, chefs, cameramen from Komunal
2.0 and Luxury Productions, judges, visitors, fans, and all teams and individuals / cam
who contributed their pebbles in any way in the construction of another successful
tournament Brcnimo racism in Zagorju.
See you next year!
SOLIDARITY IS OUR WEAPON!
The tournament was attended by 13 teams:
FC MULCI,
ISKRA FIAT 1964,
MC ZOS,
ZASAVSKI VDC,
NI-DA-NI,
TOPNICARJI,
ŠKLAB,
I WANT TO LIST YOU,

All elements of alternative to fossil fuels are gradually " recovered " by large
industrial groups. This is the biomass they want to subject to the imperatives of
maximizing profits. The example of CIBV in Corrèze and its pellet production unit, enters
into this deadly logic. ---- Faced with the emerging energy crisis, urban and industrial
developers who can not count on the renewal of fossil fuels, turn to the exploitation of
forests. In the name of special interests, biomass becomes an issue of national
development. The State organizes industrial access to large areas set aside during the
1970s and 1980s. This policy is implemented, as usual, with great disregard for the local
population. ---- In this context, the Somival Carbon Ingen'R Bugeat-Viam (CIBV) project
aims to fully exploit the wood resources of a large forest, to produce, within its
industrial production unit in Bugeat-Viam in Corrèze, roasted pellets. [1]The project has
just obtained prefectural authorizations. Public debates and inquiries have taken place
... But despite the strong protest that has manifested itself in the population, the
representative of the State decided in favor of the industrialist.
CIBV, synonymous with colonization
The multiple nuisances that were raised by the collectives did not move the public
authorities. These are hiding behind their only argument-pretext to make accept this
project: employment. About twenty direct jobs against a truck noria, a giant incineration
plant, the impoverishment of the forest capacity and the destruction of the living
environment of the inhabitants.
For all the collectives against the factory, it is important to affirm that this project
is primarily a privatization of the exploitation of public forests. [2]To maximize the
volume of biomass production, managers will organize an impoverishment of the diversity of
forest plantations. The biomass collective criticizes the will of the State to impose by
all means projects that are not solutions and calls for an " active defense against the
current industrial offensive under the mask of the" ecological transition " .
For decades, foresters of the National Forestry Office (ONF) have been managing ever
larger areas with fewer people working. Of course, performance bonds have always been
strong. Despite this, public management has been organized over a medium term - a 150-year
rotation for oak - and has always been more efficient than private management.
At the time of the defense of biodiversity, the priority is to forests more in touch with
this necessary diversity, in coherence with the territory where they are established and
with the uses of the local populations. Instead, the state privatizes the management of
these woods so that engineers can convert trees into cubic meters and kilowatt hours. Thus
these trees, their branches, their stock will be transformed into blackish chips to
replace or supplement the use of coal in the industry. The transition is not for tomorrow!

How the FSB is Manufacturing a Terrorism Case Against Antifascists in Russia. ---- In the
run-up to presidential elections and the FIFA World Cup, repressions against antifascists
and anarchists started in Russia. In Autumn 2017, 6 people were arrested in Penza; several
of them had weapons and explosives planted on them. FSB officers then tortured the
antifascists right in the detention facility: they applied naked wires to the activists'
various body parts and turned the electricity on, they beat them up, hanged them upside
down. While torturing them, the agents made the activists learn by heart the story the FSB
needed: they were supposed to confess of having founded and belonging to a terrorist
organization called "The Network". In late January 2018, two more antifascists were
arrested in Saint Petersburg. They, too, were beaten up, tortured with electric current,
and forced to incriminate themselves by confirming they were members of the "Network".
Right now, 11 people are under arrest, 2 of them indicted in organizing "Terrorist
Community". According to Russian laws, this is punishable by 15-20 years in prison.
Please, come on Saturday the 6th of October to the Anarchist library (address Eerste
Schinkelstraat 14-16 Amsterdam) at 18:00 to learn more about this case, how you can help
and to write solidarity letters to Russian Anarchists and antifascists!
Library opens at 14:00
Soup & bread at 17:00
Talk starts at 18:00

So today the prime minister denounces us, last week it was the archbishop of Canterbury.

In 2012, it was estimated that between 330,000 and 360,000 of our brothers and sisters in
Bangladesh are enslaved. Bangladesh is in the top ten countries in which slavery is
practiced. ---- Slavery has historically been concentrated in the countryside, where
feudal conditions and traditions are strongest. Landlords hold much of the land and power
in the countryside. ---- We are so poor that we live on a razor's edge. Many of our
families have lost everything, and we all toil under a constant threat of suffering the
same fate. We are driven off lands. We are hungry. We are sick. We fall into debt that we
can never escape from. ---- Children are not spared the cruelty of the brutal
exploitation. They, as us, are slaves to local landlords, usurers, capitalists, and
criminal organizations.
Many flee to the city for a better life only to be met with disappointment. There the
feudal barbarism mixes and mingles with the cruelty of liberal capitalism. The city
overlords are no more enlightened. Just like the country overlords, they, too, make their
living turning our children into beasts of burden. The innocent suffer the most. Sex
traffickers steal and force women and children into bondage, at times exporting them to be
consumed on the global market. The bodies of our people are just another commodity to empires.
The First World is happy with our people's slavery. They do not have to feel or see our
pain. And they are pleased with cheap goods that fill their homes.
Global corporations say it is good for business to keep the population controlled. Our
sweat and tears fuel imperial prosperity. Corrupt politicians do not care about our pain.
They do not hear our cries, but only listen to their imperial masters' orders that pay
them well to keep us in chains. Islamists are not touched by the plight of the poor. In
their crazy minds they declare slavery to be acceptable and would have us be slaves to
their barbaric caliph who feeds on the blood of the people. Feudalists and local
capitalists profit from our misery and hold imperial whips. Liberal NGOs use our pain to
extend capitalist control over our lives.
We say NO to slavery, poverty, hunger, violence, disease, ignorance, cruelty! We are the
ones who create the wealth, who work, who grow the food. We are the vast majority. They
need us. We do not need them. We can have the power if we have the courage.
And we say YES to liberty, land, homes, prosperity, health, jobs, education, dignity!
Today we are planting seeds in ourselves, in our families, in our communities. Total
liberation, total revolution, for our children and their children. We will harvest a
revolution, a better world. The future is ours. One fight. One land. One people. One
organization.
As anarchists, we are striving for a better society, where all voluntarily give according
to their abilities and take according to their needs, without a state, without masters nor
slaves.
Join the fight with us! For the social revolution!

The struggle for the Hamba Forest in the German Rhineland these days continues. On the one
hand, there are defenders of a thousand years old forest and the other RWE, which is made
by the security agency of thousands of German policemen. The protectors of capital
violently get out of the place with non-violent protectors of nature and climate. The
second group in the tree crowns and on the ground of batons and heavy machines is
supported by activists and sympathizers of the Limits initiative , we in the Czech
Republic coordinating protest actions for climatic justice. ---- Support to the Earth's
defenders goes beyond the borders. On Tuesday 2 October, the Limits activists and
activists, right behind the German embassy in Prague, spread a banner between Habi Bleibt
banners to support the defense of the forest and call on the German government to end a
massive police operation to clear down the path of felling and subsequent coal mining,
which only deepens climate change, which goes much faster than expected years ago. After a
short while, however, police intervention came and forced the activities to climb out of
the trees.
Aloud for Hambach
On 4 October, the German Embassy in Prague celebrates the anniversary of the reunification
of the country, the so-called German Unity Day. The Limits Initiative calls on all those
who are not indifferent to the fate of the Hampshire Forest as well as to the entire
planet to come to the assembled diplomats and diplomats and their Czech guests aloud to
remind that the hypocrisy of the German government is not unnoticed. There must be a clear
audible disagreement over the destruction of the Hamas Forest and coal mining. Take with
you everything that makes noise - drums, pots, whistles, etc.
Limits to this include: "Germany is pleased to become a champion on the international
stage in climate protection and the development of renewable resources. But in fact, the
most dirty fossil fuels are profitable, destroying the global climate, rare nature and
cultural monuments. "
The demonstration "Nahlas for Hambach" is on October 4 at 4:30 pm before the German
embassy in Vlašská street in Prague.
After the demonstration, a lecture on a joint trip to the anti-coalition events in
Rhineland is taking place at the Unijazz Reading Room (Jindrišská 901/5) at 7 pm.
Behind the Hamble Forest, you can also stand directly on site and join hundreds of people
who are defending the forest or defending and defending the defenders. Alternatively, you
can join the Ende Gelände event, which will take place in the forest area on 25-29 May.
October and you can go along with the other train. Find more HERE .

Ljetos traveled to Athens to attend a regular meeting of the International Anarchist
Federations (IAF-IFA) , which was hosted by Greek friends and their Anarchist Political
Organization (APO-IFA) this time, with Slovenian comrades from the Common Federation for
Anarchist Organization (FAO -IFA) in the squat Lelas Karagianni 37. We took this
opportunity to explore Athens and its anarchist side, which often gives us motivation and
inspiration in local and regional action. Read on below the projects that we have explored
first hand. These are squatted and decorated spaces, which host different projects; from
the place to live anarchists and refugees, libraries, cafes, free clinics. Also, we placed
a special emphasis on two more important "things"; anti-authoritarian district of
Eksarchy, and the Faculty of Politics in the same district.
Lelas Karagianni 37 (Athens 1988.-2018.)
Lelas Karagianni 37 is the oldest squat in Greece and probably among the oldest in Europe.
It is 30 years old and serves for the life and political work of anarchists. It sleeps,
eats, teaches, trains, holds meetings and prepares for actions. Electricity and water are
in place, and precautionary measures at the entrance correspond to the context of
anarchist squat, subject to police eviction and attacks by fascists. 2013 has been evicted
by the police, and a photo of the eviction and solidarity of the anarchist can be seen on
YouTube called " Police Invades Lelas Karagianni Squat in Athens ".
It was named after the murdered Greek partisan ("heroin of the underworld", executed in
1944 by shooting water at age 46, founder of the resistance group "Bouboulin" - which
included the film "Lela Karagiannis"). It was less than a week before the weekend that it
hosted us at the end of the 6th and early 7th of the month, ending the attack of Fascists
with molotov cocktails, which were separated from the nationalist march against Macedonia.
The usual practice of the fascists is to carry out their attacks on minorities, political
dissenters, and anarchist and leftist movements in Greece under the auspices of wider
nationalist movements and protests.
The squatters are the anarchist group Circle of Firewhich is a member of the Federation of
the Anarchist Political Organization (APO-IFA). We are interested in the political
evolution she has experienced, from the insurrectionary group which, through practice and
time, slowly leaves her insurrectionary attitudes and replaces them with those from the
family of social anarchism. The squat owns its library, and the oldest members have tried
their own and others' experiences to print through books and pamphlets. Through a personal
conversation with one in their group, we came to their conclusion that it is not enough to
have an anarchist group operating at the level of the card and city, but that networking
is needed at the national and international level, for better coordination and information
on political, the context of individual cities, states and wider regions. This is a
novelty for the Greek movement,
K-VOX Social Center and ADYE Health Clinic (2012-2018)
K-VOX is a squatted social center in the heart of the Ecarchy (anti-authoritarian district
of Athens), which is named after the cinema that was once there. It is 6 years old and
consists of a library, cafes and a free health clinic ADYE. All the money collected by the
work of the cafes and libraries goes to the needs of anarchists who suffer persecution and
endure imprisonment. All "employees" volunteer, and the place is used for meetings of the
famous anarchist group Rubikon (Rouvikonas) . Their YouTube and LiveLeak channel.
In addition to talking to the chancellors about the nature of the space and the content of
the center, we sat down with part of the anarchist group Rubikon, members of the Anarchist
Federation (independent of the Anarchist Political Organization). It is a group about
which reports almost every week will be in parliamentary sessions, national television or
in the most read newspapers.
Why? The group specializes in performing direct actions that attract public attention to
responsible institutions and organizations, for the suffering of workers and people of
Greece or people abroad. The action lasts only a few minutes, and during this time,
members of Rubicon occupy the building and using its windows and balconies put banners
visible to passers-by, spread leaflets and cause symbolic material damage to paint or
breaking equipment and windows. Crash into the premises of institutions and people
responsible for evictions, corruption, worn equipment of workers, etc. they almost always
pick up public sympathy, and in 99% of cases go without arrest.
The theme we have with the Rubicon team is a "vacuum" that occurs when there is no police
presence in the quarters (located on the edge of the quarters, but in the very heart of
the neighborhood it is only "full of war"). That vacuum can be filled by criminal
organizations like a mafia, but in Eksarchia they have come to resist. Here it because
anarchists in Exarchia after attacks dealers on them ( stabbed with knives and two others
shot at squat ) organized the first armed march against mafia (2016) and thus picked up
enormous public sympathy that shortly after prominent criminal (Habibija) someone
liquidated at the very edge of K-VOX (link to take over responsibility) .
The state then reacted, but against the mafias, because the anarchists had strong public
support, and the reaction was needed because without it it would be recognized that the
anarchists were the main squatters, not the state, and most likely prevented the massacre.
Apart from free health care for residents of the neighborhood, the ADYE Health Care Center
provides assistance to injured anarchists, so we could all hear a week ago that someone
from a passing car in Eksarhija fired from the gun, wounding the girl in her legs. The
medical team from ADYE took care of her.
The reality of the anarchist movement that needs to survive state repression, and the
violence of criminal organizations makes projects such as K-VOX and ADYE priceless for the
survival of the movement. The police are pushing the addicts and co-operating with dealers
forcing anarchists to join the fight against capitalism and the state and fight against
drug addicts, crime and mafia .
Nosotros, an anti-authoritarian social center (2006-2018)
Nosotros is a leased anti-authoritarian social center near the edge of the main square of
Eksarhija (opposite K-VOX), which is 12 years old. The name is borne by the Spanish
anarchist group from the 30's , hosting various free community workshops and a nice cafe
on the roof of the building. All those who accept anti-parliamentarism, self-organization
and direct democracy are welcome. The center is the meeting point of Alpha Kappa
(Anti-Autoritarian Movement, AK) and the assembly of all involved in the program.
Along with the squatting spaces, the movement also uses rented premises, and one of the
advantages we immediately pointed to is the impossibility of entering the police without a
court order. A friend at the top of the building was caught in the cafe where it is
beautiful in the summer because of the air flow, as well as the movies that are airing in
the evening. Nosotros and Alpha Kappa use the term "anti-authoritarian" when describing
their actions and projects. Why?
This brings us back to 2011 and the operation of the Slobodarski blokin Rijeka, whose
foundation is partly due to Alpha Kappa, or their ideas that we met the same year in
Thessaloniki. Namely, anarchists operate in anarchist organizations made up of anarchists,
but also in other organizations that retain anarchist principles of decision-making and
action, but not an ideological name. We can freely say that without such projects, the
anarchist movement would be "condemned" to action only among anarchists. Projects such as
Nosotros anarchism make it available to a wider population. How? Although most populations
of a neighbor, a city or a state will not identify themselves with the ideology of
anarchism, that is, they will not say for themselves that they are anarchists, they can
very easily identify themselves with criticism of the parties, with equal decision making
and direct action when they specify other methods, most often the legalistic nature of the
association and yellow unions, etc.
Ovu logiku neki anarhisti ne mogu shvatiti, pa tvrde da se Alpha Kappa vec godinama
ograduje od anarhizma i anarhista, ne shvacajuci da se u biti ograduju od anarhista koji
pokazuju svu svoju zadrtost i neznanje kada se radi o mehanizmima društvenog utjecanja
anarhista na širu populaciju, bilo radnika, nezaposlenih, studenata, seljaka ili dr.
društvenih skupina u potlacenom položaju. To su "anarhisti" na koje smo i mi naviknuli,
koji ne žele sudjelovati u društvenim gibanjima koja za njih nisu "dovoljno anarhisticka",
u biti pokazujuci da oni nemaju namjeru utjecati na društvo, vec "anarhizam" nose kao
subkulturni privjesak ili što bi rekli drugovi iz Alpha Kappe - kao egoisticni nihilizam.
Alpha Kappa ili Anti-Authoritarian Movement - postoji od 2002., a smatra se dijelom
internacionalne mreže Beyond Europe.
Notary 26, the Squat for Refugees (2015-2018).
Notary 26 is an occupied building in Eksarhija since 2015, led by a assembly of
self-organized refugees, currently around 100. 6 floors of the smile of children, women
and men, without any influence of the NGO sector and the state, with the help of
anti-authoritarian and convoy of solidarity of food and goods of anarchists from Europe,
as well as the donation of local workers. The rooms for socializing, sleeping, cooking,
storing and children are clean and neat, and we have the confidence to explore everything.
Self-organization is effective against the state, associations and parties, not only for
anarchists but also for all vulnerable groups! For people who fled the war and violence,
the Ecarchy has become a temporary haven.
We noticed we came across the Anti-authoritarian movement (previously referred to as Alpha
Kappe), which helps refugee survival to survive. Before that year, the fascists tried to
light the crowd while there were children among them. The attack was denied, it was
freshly renovated, but some new security measures were introduced, so the squadron with
its hygienic team also cleansed a "security team" that shields shadows from potential
attacks, as well as the streets of the neighborhood around the crowds of anti-social crime.
The night before our visit someone tried to steal a motorcycle parked in front of the
entrance of the squat (the media know how to blame the refugees for each crime in the
district), but the refugee safety team prevented theft and disarmed the thief by
contributing to the security of the card and the reputation of the Notary 26 project.
AEK, Fan Club (1975-1918)
There is an AEK Fan Club in Eksarhija , where the young Alexis was shot dead in 2008,
which you can not fire due to the decorated walls.
AEK was founded in 1924 by the Greeks fleeing from Constantinople (Istanbul) after the
Greek-Turkish War (1919-1922), and the fans were first organized under the name Gate 21 in
1975. In 2015, the refugees from Syria and pointed out the inscription: AEK mother of all
refugees. Despite various criticisms, there are mutual sympathies of anarchists and part
of the AEK fans.
In addition to the presence of anarchist ideas in "mainstream sports," or through existing
fan groups as a counterbalance to nationalism, anarchists organize their own sports clubs
based on self-organization and opposition to "modern sport" (which serves profit and
largely distract public attention from burning social issues). So there are football,
volleyball, basketball, kickboxing and so on. clubs, which, visually, clearly show that
they are anti-systemic, rely on a completely different ethic than that of capitalist,
market and nationalist-state.
Polytechnic University and Exarcheia (final words ...)
The Polytechnic Polytechnic (Polytechneion) is located on the edge of the Exarchia, and is
a part of the popularity of anarchist movement and popular distrust towards the state.
The University was the epicenter of the 1978 Hornet uprising (which lasted from 1967 to
1974), an uprising that ended in the bloodshed of students who had been sent to the
military, and the university fence itself crashed the tank. The student movement was
influenced by 68 ', so it was an anarchist. Because of the specific political-historical
context, the University now has autonomy, so anarchists can often be bureaucratized after
street conflicts. It is filled with political graffiti and transparencies, and almost
always one of the students makes transparencies for protests.
***
Exarchia , the Athens Quarter - the epicenter of the riot against the military hunte in
1974 and against the 2008 murders of young anarchists. The first of us was to concoct the
atmosphere of the addicts in the main square, targeted by police in Eksarhija, to begin
projecting slowly in the rimmed streets of the square which pump it into anti-system
ideas, struggle and life.
The sanctuary with political radicals (primarily anarchists, then leftists), immigrants
and refugees, is under the watchful eye of the police who are 0-24 guards at the fringes
of the quarters. It takes roughly an hour to go all the streets and we will return to the
fort anarchist ...
