The world and Latin American situation are expressing elements of a new period marked by 
the deepening of the interference of US imperialism at all levels. At the commercial 
level, Yankee arrogance has been provoking China's reaction in an unprecedented import 
tariff war. This dispute between the two most important capitalist powers on the planet, 
beyond the change of trading partners, represents an abrupt turn towards imperialist 
protectionism that only benefits the bourgeoisies of both countries. ---- In this sense, 
Latin America does not escape as a scenario of dispute. The latest events show the return 
of the US as a gendarme of its "backyard" both at the geopolitical and military levels as 
well as at the economic level. A run of docile and obedient leaders are essential pieces 
in this strategy for the region. The local elites are not only opening the door wide to 
the IMF and other usurers, but also to the main North American industrial, commercial and 
financial monopolies. The main objective is to close the influence of China in the region, 
drive away Russia and regain lost hegemony.

Two other relevant elements that we must mention have to do with the imperial plans that 
reinforce the extractivist matrix of the region and the designation of Argentina as the 
headquarters of the G20 this year, in order to accentuate the commitment to the 
continental neoliberal agenda. At the geopolitical level, an important objective outlined 
by the US has to do, not only with precipitating the fall of the wayward governments in 
the region
-as are the cases of Venezuela and Bolivia-, but fundamentally with generating the idea of 
instability to militarize the territory and discipline the popular resistance that is 
being generated in rejection of the policies of adjustment, hunger and greater 
indebtedness throughout the continent.

In this order, after momentarily ruling out the invasion of Marines into Venezuela, Trump 
is with his regional allies openly promoting a military coup in that country, as happened 
at the last bilateral summit with President Duque (at the same time as Colombia murdered 
the number 159 social activist so far this year).

However, this "police state of adjustment" in the continent (as our comrades of the CAB 
called it) has been generating numerous expressions of widespread popular resistance. In 
Brazil, the savage adjustment of Temer, an old ally of the PT, and the dangerous advance 
of the neo-fascist right embodied in Bolsonaro, various organizational coordinations have 
been opposing important mobilizations, such as that of women on 29 September.

In recent months there have been major strikes in Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua (in 
addition to Argentina) in rejection of the implementation of IMF policies. In the latter 
case with brutal repressions leaving many dead. Slowly we can observe how episodes of 
resistance in the region have been constituting the neoliberal outpost. The challenge for 
Latin American popular organizations will be, in addition to the scope of mass, to build 
greater levels of unity, solidarity and independence of the oppressed class, away from the 
electoral dynamics and the institutionalization of struggles. Given this situation, the 
Latin American coordination of autonomous popular organizations as an anti-imperialist, 
anti-capitalist and anti-statist expression is imposed as strategic.

THE CCL NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT! ---- Original article: 
https://culturalibertaria.blogspot.com/2018/11/the-ccl-needs-your-support.html ---- 
Support the crowdfunding campaign: ---- https://ppl.com.pt/causas/cclThe Centro de Cultura 
Libertária, an anarchist association with 44 years of activity in Cacilhas-Almada, 
Portugal, is again threatened. The continued pressure of the real estate business, the 
change in the rental law and the gentrification that forces the departure of residents 
from the central spaces of cities, the destruction of non-profit spaces or the closure of 
neighborhood stores, now also touches the CCL. ---- What is happening? ---- This is not 
the first time that the CCL's permanence in its historic headquarters has been called into 
question.
Between 2009 and 2011 the Centro de Cultura Libertária resisted an eviction procedure 
initiated by the landlord. Only the solidarity of many collectives and individuals here 
and beyond allowed us to face the costs of the judicial process, which led to two trials 
and one appeal. In the end, we reached a rent increase agreement that allowed us to 
continue in the space without changes in the duration of the contract.
However, in 2014, as a result of the changes in the rent law in favor of property owners' 
interests, the CCL contract duration was set at five years. At the end of 2018, we have 
reached the point where, as has happened to thousands of tenants, the continuation of the 
rent of our space will be at the mercy of the owner's will and the conditions that he 
wants to impose on us.
Why support the CCL?
The CCL is an anarchist cultural centre founded in 1974 by old libertarian militants who 
resisted the dictatorship, occupying since then the space rented at number 121 Rua Candido 
dos Reis, in Cacilhas-Almada. The Center has a unique library and archive in Portugal, 
with documents produced over the last hundred years, as well as a bookshop promoting 
libertarian culture. It has been a fundamental space for anarchism in Portugal, welcoming 
successive generations of libertarians. During its existence, the Center hosted numerous 
activities, such as debates, meetings, reading circles, video sessions, workshops, dinners 
and various learning workshops, and served as home to many libertarian groups and 
collectives. Different publications came out of the space, such as the Voz Anarquista in 
the 1970s, Antithesis in the 1980s, the Anarchist Information Bulletin in the 1990s, and 
Húmus magazine in the first decade of this century.
As an anarchist association, the functioning of the CCL's internal organisation is 
horizontal and is based on the assembly of its members, where decisions are made and the 
tasks inherent to the life of the association are distributed. Participation in the CCL is 
always voluntary, unpaid and non-profit. The only sources of funding are membership fees, 
the bookstore, dinners and solidarity donations.

What future for the CCL?
We do not want the Centro de Cultura Libertária to end! We want it to continue to exist as 
an active libertarian association for many years!
But at the moment the future of the CCL is open: it can remain in the same space, paying a 
much higher rent, or move to a new space, where we would try to have better conditions for 
our activities, but where expenses will also be higher.
In both cases, and given the conditions imposed by the current housing market bubble, we 
know that we will need financial means that we do not have. For this reason, we will start 
a fundraising campaign, which will include crowdfunding, concerts, dinners and other 
initiatives.
We count on your solidarity support so that together we can guarantee a future for the CCL.

Can the situation of the proletariat be improved by the eviction of part of the 
proletariat ? This is the theory of the "  club  " promoted by the extreme right. At the 
approach of European elections whose campaign is already announced nauseating (Salvini, 
Aquarius, etc.), we publish an extract from the book Temps Obscurs , with the agreement of 
the authors. ---- To understand the mass audience that xenophobic parties may have, we 
must consider that this attraction is not based solely on identity bases, defending a " 
fragile identity ", that of French, against the threat represented by the "   other 
Especially Muslim. It is based mainly on the translation into economic terms of this 
theory: if some of the proletarians (from immigration) are undesirable, exclude them would 
be a way to economically upgrade the daily lives of "   nationals  ". This economic 
proposition is the extreme right's way of addressing the class interests of its 
constituents. Moreover, this proposal to purge the proletariat makes it possible to 
propose radical changes, but without attacking the interests of the possessing class.

What do we mean when we say that the extreme right wants to get rid of a whole section of 
the proletariat  ? To understand it, one must refer to the economic theory of the "   club 
   ", theorized by Buchanan in 1965. This theory states that to benefit from a good in a 
given group, such as a golf club, it is necessary that it There are not too many members 
to take advantage of it, which would make it an optimal benefit. In the opposite case, the 
infrastructures are too congested and the quality of the service decreases.

A large VIP lounge of French nationality
In a context of economic crisis that has been hidden since the 1970s and which has 
worsened particularly since the 2008 crisis, the extreme right is defending a "   golf 
club theory   " applied to the national economy. If there is unemployment, Social Security 
deficits, pension reforms, wage cuts, it is not because of capitalism, its permanent state 
of crisis and the attacks of the bourgeoisie for 30 years , but indeed because of a   golf 
club  effect : there would be too many proletarians  !

This theory sees France as a gigantic golf club or condominium. In order to be able to 
benefit serenely, access should be restricted by making it a sort of "   private circle ". 
According to this vision of the world, health insurance, unemployment benefits, family 
allowances, but also public jobs and even all jobs would be in some ways reserved for 
members of a large VIP lounge, whose owners French nationality would be the members.

Given the deterioration of the labor market, the effects of the crisis that has worsened 
since 2008, chronic deficits in social security and the state, the solution would simply 
be to transfer a certain number of club members to find an "   optimal   " operation.

This is where the racism, the stigmatization of Islam and the "   assisted   " come into 
play. Racism is most often perceived only from a moral point of view, which is a mistake. 
Thus, according to the followers of the SOS Racisme discourse, the racism of the extreme 
right would be inhuman, discriminating, dehumanizing, and explainable only by the fear of 
the other.

Objective: to get rid of some of the people
On the contrary, this racism must above all be understood as a proposal also addressing 
the economic interests of racists. Indeed, for the extreme right, the implementation of 
this theory of the club would be mainly by attacking immigration, preferably "color".

If we look at the program of the FN, many of these measures are aimed at attacking the " 
bad workers  " whose behavior would harm the living conditions of all proletarians. As far 
as the unemployed are concerned, the workfare measures would make the benefits lose to 
those who "   do not want to work   ", playing on the myth of immigrants taking advantage 
of Social Security, as well as the deactivation of the vital cards of "   fraudsters   ".

Similarly, the stop of immigration (family reunion, asylum ...) and the establishment of 
the national preference is in economic terms to prevent the pressure on the wages of the " 
   French   " - just like the national preference at hiring. Finally, the deletion of

the MEA, that is to say, the minimum medical care, completes this exclusion of the 
national body of foreign unwanted proletarians, of another color or in an irregular situation.

This proposal is not based solely on "   hatred of the other   ". In very concrete terms, 
she tells the proletarians, and especially the workers, that to restore good economic 
living conditions, we must get rid of a part of the people  !

It is this proposal to upgrade the status of proletarian by the exclusion of a good number 
of "   undesirable   " workers, which, unfortunately, has made the success of the extreme 
right among many voters, be they of the working class, employed or from the petty 
bourgeoisie and the self-employed.

Even as other powers rise, the United States remains, by far, the only global imperialism. 
We must denounce his criminal actions ... without hushing those of his competitors. ---- 
Imperialism is the combination of several dominations: military, therefore diplomatic ; 
economic, so cultural. ---- In the past, this domination was translated by colonization. 
Today, it allows the strongest states to impose unfair trade treaties on others, the 
exploitation of their resources (mining, oil, forestry ...) at broken prices, or even 
treaties of alliance legalizing the interference of the dominant country. ---- Thus, in 
many countries of the world, when people revolt, in addition to confronting their state 
and their capitalists, they must reckon with the interference of one or more imperialist 
powers seeking to profit from events.

Read also: "  In the face of competition, where is US imperialism ?  " In Alternative 
Libertaire in November 2018.
United States hegemony
Despite the rise in power in China and Russia, the military superiority of the United 
States remains overwhelming.

In 2017, according to the Swedish institute SIPRI, they alone accounted for one-third of 
world military spending, more than the sum of the seven other most-spending countries 
(China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, India, France, United Kingdom, Japan ). The US military is 
constantly deployed around the world, with approximately 800 bases and bases abroad.

This superpower allows the United States to try to impose its will by force whenever they 
deem it useful. In twenty years, they led the war in Afghanistan (since 2001), the 
occupation of Iraq (2003-2011), the bombings in Libya (2011), an intervention in Syria 
(since 2014), to which we must add, since 2004, thousands of deadly drone strikes in 
Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen.

Competition from other powers
Far behind, there are secondary imperialisms and competitors of the United States. Some, 
like France and the United Kingdom, are its allies ; others, like Russia and China, are 
its rivals.

It does not mean they are more virtuous. They too are instrumentalising weaker countries. 
The French army thus intervenes regularly in Africa, "  invited  " by crumbling regimes to 
make the policeman and protect, in passing, the interests of French capitalism.

China, more and more influential in Africa, wants to secure its trade routes and 
interests, and is currently developing its army to confer, like the others, a capacity for 
external intervention.

For its part, Russia, after conducting an atrocious colonial war in Chechnya (1994-2004), 
crushed Georgia (2008), occupied part of Ukraine (since 2014) and was "  invited  " to 
save sinking the criminal regime of Bashar el Assad in Syria (since 2015).

And everyone - Moscow, Washington, Paris, London, Beijing - is an accomplice of Israeli 
colonialism.


" Up to the last drop ". Bashar al-Assad owes much to his Russian imperialist patron.
Drawing of Shrank
Revolutionaries alongside peoples
Between these imperialists, in competition for the control of the planetary resources, the 
arms race is in full swing.

The peoples of the world have nothing to gain from this morbid competition, which is not 
just about entertainment. It carries a permanent risk of skidding war, and it must be 
denounced without weakening.

In the colonized, dominated countries, our solidarity goes to the political forces that 
fight an emancipation at the same time national and social

against their State, their dictator, their colonizer ;
despite the imperialists who want to either crush them or manipulate them.
With the independence of Algeria yesterday, from Kanaky today ; with the South American 
anti-fascist guerrillas in the 1970s ; with persecuted trade unionists in Eastern 
countries in the 1980s ; with the Palestinian left and the Kurdish left today in the 
Middle East.


The French state deploys its troops in Africa (here, in the Sahel) primarily to preserve 
its "square".

Last week riders from DeliverUnion joined couriers from 31 other European collectives and 
unions from 12 countries in Brussels to share common strategies and to found the 
Transnational Courier Federation! It was really exciting to meet and learn from so many 
other riders who are organising under platform companies such as Deliveroo, UberEats and 
Foodora, and also couriers who have started their own cooperative delivery companies. ---- 
"These companies operate on a transnational level, so we need to resist them on a 
transnational level." (IWW Courier Network member) ---- Since 2016 riders for "gig 
economy" platforms have been organising for better working conditions across Europe and 
beyond to Hong Kong, Indonesia, Argentina and Australia, grabbing media headlines with 
their demonstrations and strikes.

Their story is one of David and Goliath; precarious and disposable workers standing up to 
billion dollar companies. They have no fixed workplace and self employed couriers have no 
worker protections, and are denied the right to freedom of association. So how do they 
manage to organise? This has become somewhat of an obsession of academics and journalists, 
but the answer is arguably quite simply. They network, meet up, strategise and take 
collective action.

And that's what couriers from 31 different collectives and unions did in October 2018 when 
they met for the biggest ever international couriers congress in Brussels. Couriers from 
France, Italy, Finland, Spain, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Austria, 
Switzerland and Belgium came together for two days to discuss common ideas and strategies 
and founded the Transnational Courier Federation.

Most of the riders have been organising under platform companies such as Deliveroo, 
UberEats and Foodora, while others have started their own delivery companies with 
CoopCycle or developed cooperative apps such as Mensakas. Some are members of works 
councils, others are organised in independent collectives. But one thing is clear; this is 
the beginning of a more unified transnational courier movement organising against 
precarious working conditions.

"We hope that we can in the future act transnationally...and act also across the service 
and food industry. Because it's not just us... its about precarious workers in general and 
how work in society is organised" explained a member of Justice4Couriers from Finland who 
was at the meeting.

This is the beginning of a more unified transnational courier movement organising against 
precarious work, and we are proud to be part of it.

All power to the Transnational Courier Federation!

Veteran Tariq Khan reflects on the hollow legacy of Veterans Day and connects the history 
of November 11 to remembering those who fought for a better world. ---- By Tariq Khan and 
other BRRN members ---- On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 
1918, the working class people who made up the rank-and-file of the world's most deadly 
militaries of the era, ceased firing at each other. This armistice unofficially ended the 
"war to end all wars." And in several nations, November 11 became Armistice Day; a solemn 
day to reflect on the murderous futility of militarism, and to commit to peace. A 
tradition was born of observing a moment of silence at 11:00 am on November 11. To this 
day some still uphold this tradition.

But the notion of a war to end war was always a lie. As long as there is the rule of 
capital, as long as there is empire, as long as there is colonization, as long as there is 
racial domination, as long as there is patriarchy, as long as there is the state - there 
is war. After a second, larger, more technologically advanced war to end wars, as the U.S. 
entered a period of constant war, of proxy war, of secret war, of Cold War, the President 
of U.S. Empire Dwight Eisenhower changed Armistice Day, a solemn day of peace, to Veterans 
Day, a day to glorify militarism - not to be confused with Memorial Day or Armed Forces 
Day, which are likewise days the U.S. government has appointed to mystify the public's 
mind with patriotic militaristic lies.

So here we are on November 11th.

November 11th. In 1831, Black people across Southampton County, Virginia, rebelled against 
slavery. Led by Nat Turner, the rebels walked silently from one slave labor camp to 
another, killing enslavers and freeing enslaved people along the way. The state and 
ordinary white society responded with murderous cruelty to uphold white supremacy and 
slavery. White vigilantes extrajudicially tortured and murdered some 120 Black people, 
regardless of involvement in the rebellion. The state executed some 55 Black people 
suspected of involvement with the rebellion. On November 11, 1831, in Jerusalem, Virginia, 
the state hanged Nat Turner, then flayed his body and beheaded him, to terrorize other 
Black people into submission. Through this kind of sadistic, ritualistic, group cruelty 
against Black people in Virginia, white people reestablished white domination in the 
region. November 11th.

November 11th. In 1886, exploited and abused industrial workers across the United States 
called for a general strike for the eight-hour day. At the McCormick plant in Chicago, the 
company locked out the union members and hired scabs to replace them. Police escorted the 
scabs to the plant, and when the workers moved to block the scabs from crossing the line, 
police shot two of them to death, at least two others died later from the wounds. The most 
influential labor organizers in Chicago at the time were anarchists affiliated with the 
International Working People's Association. In response the anarchists held a mass meeting 
at Haymarket Square to protest the violence of the police. Without provocation, the police 
advanced against the crowd to violently break up the meeting. Someone threw a handmade 
bomb at the police, killing one officer. The police responded by firing indiscriminately; 
so indiscriminately that many of their shots hit other officers. Without evidence, police 
charged eight anarchist labor organizers for throwing the bomb, some of the accused 
anarchists were not even present at the meeting. The judge made it clear that even if they 
were not guilty of throwing the bomb, they were guilty of that most egregious crime 
against capital: organizing labor. The Haymarket Trial has since become famous globally as 
one of the great sham trials of U.S. history. Five defendants ended up sentenced to death: 
Louis Lingg, George Engel, Adolph Fischer, Albert Parsons, and August Spies. Lingg 
committed suicide in his cell. November 11, 1886, the state hanged Engel, Fischer, 
Parsons, and Spies. August Spies shouted, "The day will come when our silence will be more 
powerful than the voices you are strangling today!" Engel and Fischer shouted, "Hurrah for 
anarchy!" Albert Parsons shouted, "Let the voice of the people be heard! O-", and the 
executioner sprung the trap. November 11th.

November 11th. In 1919, a patriotic gang of American Legion members attacked an Industrial 
Workers of the World union hall. During the celebrations of Armistice day in Centralia 
Washington, the local American Legion chapter (A far right-wing U.S. veterans 
organization) Stormed the town's IWW union hall. This was part of an escalating pattern of 
wanton violence by the bosses and the state to undermine the efforts of the IWW to 
organize lumber workers and exactly a year after a similar raid during the Armistice Day 
celebrations of 1918 had destroyed their previous hall. This time IWW members resisted. In 
a shootout with the Legion six were killed but the hall was eventually stormed by the 
police with all inside arrested. During the shootout Wesley Everest, an IWW member, lumber 
worker, and draftee who served much of his time in military prison for refusing to salute 
the flag, fled from the back of the building. He was soon swarmed by the legion. He killed 
one assailant but was then beaten, including in the face with rifle butts, and dragged 
through the streets to the city jail where he was left on the floor without treatment. In 
the middle of the night the police returned him to the reactionary mob who lynched him and 
shot him at the town bridge. The remaining prisoners were tortured by the police as the 
mob outside called for their deaths. The police later retrieved Everest's dead body and 
returned it to the jail, in full view of the other Wobblies in the jail, with the noose 
still around his neck, to terrorize them. Seven IWW members were sentenced to prison terms 
of up to 40 years for the shootout but none of those who participated in the lynching were 
even tried, in spite of the fact that the members of the lynch mob were well-known to the 
public, and even bragged about it. The lynching of Wesley Everest makes the alliance 
between the state, capital, and murderous reactionaries abundantly clear. November 11th.

So here we are at another November 11th, with a white nationalist head of state massing 
troops at the already hyper-militarized border as a political ploy to intimidate asylum 
seekers, and we're supposed to celebrate militarism: thank the veterans of U.S. invasions 
and occupations for their "service" to this blood-stained empire. Veterans Day is a 
patriotic erasure of state violence and people's struggle. Rather than celebrate 
militarism, take moment this November 11 to remember the martyrs of the social revolution: 
Nat Turner, Louis Lingg, Albert Parsons, August Spies, George Engel, Adolph Fischer, 
Wesley Everest, and all those whose lives have been stolen by the violence of the state 
and reactionary vigilantes. Hurrah for anarchy!

Tariq Khan is a military veteran and member of Black Rose/Rosa Negra Anarchist Federation 
in Central Illinois. For more on his personal story we recommend listening to Tariq's 
podcast interview with It's Going Down, "Into the Eye of the Troll Storm." We also 
recommend other writings by Tariq Khan "The ‘Left-Wing Terrorism' Narrative Doesn't 
Understand Violence" and "3 Reasons Why We Need A More Revolutionary July 4."

Book-Café The Barricade is celebrating its second birthday! ---- With what not long ago 
was a pile of dusty boxes of books, we've made a library with more than two hundred 
members. On what were discarded veggies ready to become trash, we've tried to model a 
different society. We've tried to bring political activity back to where it had evaporated 
from and have kept fighting for a space so needed in times like these. ---- At the two 
year mark we find ourselves with still so many things to improve, so many more questions 
to ask and so many more energies to gather. ---- We'd like to use this day to celebrate 
what we have managed to do so far and plot together for the work that still needs to be 
done. Come join us! ---- ¡¡A las barricadas!! ---- SCHEDULE ---- 2pm Open with books and 
zines stands ---- 3pm-5pm Gender 101 and cis-allyship workshop
