We republish this statement signed by anarchist and social movement organizations around
the world denouncing the current wave of repression aimed at left, anarchist and social
movement organizations in Argentina. In the lead up to hosting a meeting of the G20 summit
in Buenos Aires on November 30, two bombing incidents conducted by unknown groups have
become a pretext for wide ranging police repression including police raids on social
centers and the homes of movement activists. As social movements prepare to protest the
summit and it's neoliberal agenda, the security forces have worked to create an atmosphere
of fear, urging Buenos Aires 3 million residents to leave the city during the summit and
announcing plans to deploy 20,000 officers.
Against the repressive and the criminalization of social protest, different human rights
organizations, social, feminist, political, and labor strongly reject the function of the
Federal Police commanded by the Minister Patricia Bullrich and the Macri
government[current President of Argentina]. Using as an excuse the demonstration against
the tomb of Ramón L. Falcón[an early 20th century police chief in Argentina known for
repression and massacres against striking tenant and worker movements], in the Recoleta
cemetery, a new campaign of stigmatization and criminalization by the government was
launched yesterday, in this case against anarchism.
The media campaign and the statements of the Minister of Security, followed by a police
deployment and arbitrary raids and detentions of different cultural and social spaces,
such as the Anarchist Library and Anarchist Athenaeum of the neighborhood of Constitution
and the Social and Sports Club La Cultura Del Barrio in Villa Crespo, private homes, among
others, are another example of the repressive policy that this government tries to install
by force of violence and starvation for our people.
It is important to point out that these facts are not isolated, but part of a systematic
policy of stigmatization of the popular sectors and of diverse political and social
organizations, searching to create internal enemies, as was the case of the report
entitled "RAM"[Ancestral Mapuche Resistance, a militant indigenous liberation group]to
implement its program of death and looting of our territory. The construction of a hateful
discourse towards those who decided to put a stop to the advance of neoliberal, massive
layoffs and the uncertainness of life, serves as another strategy to criminalize social
protest. Mapuches, teachers, researchers, alternative media, women's movements and
dissidents["sexual dissidents" refers to those who rebel against the gender order, LGBTQ],
anarchists, migrants, leftist union militants or students have one after another taken in
as examples of everything "bad" that needs to be suppressed. In all this, after the vote
on the IMF budget and trying to create a climate conducive to repression the face of the
upcoming G20 meeting[to be hosted in Buenos Aires November 30]. The popular sectors that
organized against structural adjustment, misery and looting are not terrorists.
The different human rights organizations, social and political, sign in a spirit of
solidarity coming from diverse spaces and groups that today are being pointed out and
persecuted by this government which protects the interests of the few; these groups demand
the freedom of the detained comrades and the cessation of criminalization and persecution.

On the occasion of the international day against violence against women, associations,
unions, various movements including in particular " We all " call for a large gathering
to fight against sexual and sexual violence. After some liberation of the word of women,
it is in the street that we must show our determination ! Men's violence against women
takes many forms. Whether physical, sexual or psychological, all are to fight ! ----
AGGRESSORS AND THEIR STRATEGIES ---- Tired of being hit ! In 2016, 3 out of 4 women
victims report being beaten repeatedly. In the same year, 123 women were killed by their
partner or ex-intimate partner. Tired of being sexually assaulted ! Every day, 243 women
are victims of rape or attempted rape. Tired of being insulted ! 3/4 of the authors of
insults against women in the public space are men. Insults often refer to gender
stereotypes, " slut ", " bitch ", " bitch ", " old ".
Violence against women is everywhere: in the street, in transport, at school, at work but
especially in the private sphere. Those made by masked men in a dark alley are minimal. In
91 % of cases, the violence is committed by persons known to the victim (father, brother,
friend, doctor, comrade, activist, colleague). In 45 % of the cases, the aggressor is the
spouse or former spouse. The private is political, let us never let our guard down.
Violence of men against women is part of the patriarchal system. Do not let him lock us in
fear and prevent us from revolting. With the flood of stories, fear is changing sides.
MULTIPLE STRUGGLES: HOMOPHOBIA, RACISM, VALIDISM, CLASSISM
Patriarchy affects all women, especially racialized, LGBTI community-based, disabled,
grassroots women who experience simultaneous oppression affecting their lives. As a
result, they are more likely to experience violence.
Tract in pdf
PREPARING MOBILIZATION, FOR A GENERAL STRIKE OF WOMEN
No judicial solution is suitable. Justice not only does not do its job but perpetuates the
culture of rape and therefore violence against women. Refusal to take the complaints of
the victims in the police stations, speeches guilt, questioning of the word of the women,
relaxes of the aggressors. It is still the assaulted women to prove their non-consent and
not the aggressors to provide proof of the consent of the assaulted. Neither supported,
nor listened to, nor reassured by justice, few women victims complain.
On Saturday, November 24, our anger and our feminine solidarity will turn into a great
collective movement ! We are not alone ! Bosses, colleagues, spouses, fear will change
sides ! As in Spain where 6 million women took part in the strikes and feminist
demonstrations of March 8th, let's create a balance of power so that it moves.
After November 24, go to March 8, 2019 for the International Day of the fight for women's
rights ! We women demand economic, social and political equality with men ! Women workers
earn about 23.7% less than men. They are more affected by precariousness. We, women, want
to be free ! Free to walk anywhere, at any time of the day, in any state, in any outfit.
Free from our sexual and emotional orientation. Free to procreate or not and with whom we
want. Free access to free contraception and abortion and gynecological consultations
without abuse.

Therefore, we consider that an attempt to change educational structures becomes real when
it is part of an overall revolutionary prospect of social liberation. To create a society
in which knowledge diffuses socially and contributes to the full development of people's
cognitive, cognitive and perceptual skills, in an environment of freedom and through
collective learning processes that promote learning and scientific research for the
benefit of the community and of the whole of society, and not for the benefit of the state
and capitalism. ---- The new government bill on universities and voted in parliament is
part of a more comprehensive restructuring of education and of the state / capitalist
system itself. The attack on education and the demolition of acquired decades is on the
same agenda as wage, pension and social benefits, as part of the memorandum and systemic
crisis.
Gavroglu's new law serves the design of a university dedicated to the production of highly
specialized and flexible workforce to meet the modern needs of the market. Covering the
"primary surplus" memorandum will lead to cuts in resources and spending for education,
leading to the elimination of departments and schools and their abbreviation for new
curricula. The demolition of labor rights with the splitting of a single degree obliges
graduates to undergo continuing studies and raises the need for additional vocational
training, leading them to pay a fee for their participation in postgraduate study
programs. At the same time, they open up vague business areas, which will essentially
undertake the training of "passepartout" supplementary workers.
The bill further adds to the one-dimensional and economistical, technocratic dimension of
knowledge. In the university, knowledge is estranged from its social function, it is being
devalued as a means of capturing and interpreting the world and oriented unilaterally to
maximize the profit of the bosses. The result is the production of unwholesome and
persuasive workers who will be able to form capitalist production in the future. In this
direction, the devaluation of "non-productive" studies, humanitarian and social, where
they are constantly being attacked, highlights how the state and the university are bourgeois.
The new law did not fall from the sky. Reforms in education are an ongoing process that
progresses with steady pace and independent government. In recent years, the intrusion of
business clubs, managers and securiti companies into schools is a sign of an effort to
further synchronize education with neoliberal reality. Financing universities from private
interests strengthens and legitimizes the relationship of large entrepreneurs with
universities. Funding is not voluntary aid to the educational institution, but rather
investment type, since capitalist groups receive direct or indirect benefits and rewards
(eg conducting research programs on their behalf) maximizing their profits. These finances
tend to ultimately replace the state as a financial feeder, consolidating the presence of
individuals in universities. This presence, coupled with the equivalence of diplomas
provided by private institutions, creates an educational framework from which even larger
sections of our class will be excluded.
The emergence of mass education systems coincides chronologically with the emergence of
the bourgeoisie, the formation of nation-states and the development of the capitalist
market in the mid-18th century. The technological discoveries of the time, the material
and ideological hegemony of economic and political liberalism, the explosion of the
sciences and their practical application in the field of industrial capitalist production,
the gigantic state mechanism and the need for staffing led state and capital to construct
a structure that will channel the requisite specialized staff to the market and the state
apparatus. The purely pedagogical part of mass education systems has been an aspect of the
attempt by the state and the bourgeoisie to impose coherence on the social body, to equate
the boss with the worker, the ruler with the ruler. The vehicle has been and still is
today the formation of national consciousness and the infusion of bourgeois liberal
ideology through a variety of disciplines, disciplines and propaganda methods (parades,
nationalist festivals, ecclesiastics, counterfeiting of history, unilateral information,
ideologically lectured lectures, etc.). The system of education, albeit modernized, even
though it has escaped from the ruler and the costumes, has not managed to escape its
historical role, since by its very nature it functions at the service of the state and
capital The vehicle has been and still is today the formation of national consciousness
and the infusion of bourgeois liberal ideology through a variety of disciplines,
disciplines and propaganda methods (parades, nationalist festivals, ecclesiastics,
counterfeiting of history, unilateral information, ideologically lectured lectures, etc.).

The struggle against the new bill concerns first and foremost student college students.
The forms of the struggle and its contents are shaped and developed as a product and
reflection of the correlations in the student movement and its relation to the other
social and class struggles. For our part as anarchists we propose the unprecedented
organization of the students, away from party factions, leaders and leaders. We advocate
equal and universal participation in decision-making on the organization of mobilizations,
actions and occupations.
As anarchists, we stand solidly in the struggles of the people of our class struggling to
improve the conditions of our lives. The struggle against this law is important, but even
succeeding in its abolition will not have transformed the core of education. An
educational system that reproduces and exacerbates exploitation and oppression can not be
reformed in a liberating direction. Therefore, we consider that an attempt to change
educational structures becomes real when it is part of an overall revolutionary prospect
of social liberation. To create a society in which knowledge diffuses socially and
contributes to the full development of people's cognitive, cognitive and perceptual
skills, in an environment of freedom and through collective educational processes that
will promote learning and scientific research for the benefit of the community and society
as a whole, and not for the benefit of the state and capitalism. In order to build such a
society, it is important to interconnect every partial struggle, small or big, with the
most comprehensive struggle for social revolution and the destruction of any governing
structure and relationship. For a non-classical, extreme, federalist society, for anarchy.

Anarchist women's intervention at the Concert Hall of the Grand Theater at the Concert
Hall Gender Equality to Eradicate Gender Violence ---- Today, November 22, 20 comrades, we
performed an intervention at the Concert Hall, the concert organized by the General
Secretariat for Gender Equality of the Ministry of the Interior, in view of the global day
to eradicate violence against women. ---- Around 20.30, when the organizer's
representative began to preface the event, we interrupted her speech by shouting slogans
against police violence and, in general, the violence of the state at the expense of the
struggling women, we opened ourselves from the banner of the balcony that wrote " Gender
violence is a regime as long as there is state and capitalism - Trial of torture police
officers in anti-fascist mopeds: 29/11 ", we threw tits and distributed texts in the
packed room.
The speaker unsuccessfully tried to ignore the intervention by continuing to speak from
the microphone until it was forced to stop because of the slogans that echoed everywhere,
while the first positions were obsessed with the President of Parliament N. Voutsis,
Interior Minister A. Haritsis and others deputies of the government rally. By finishing
the intervention, we left out with shouting slogans.
AGAINST A STATE AND PATRIARCH, ABOUT MANAGEMENT AND ANARCHY!
ALL AND ALL:
- IN THE FIGHT AGAINST LIFE VIOLENCE: Saturday 24th November, Kambikarea, 12pm

Anarchist comrades against patriarchy
Here is the text that was shared:
25 November 1960: Three anti-dictatorial fighters, sisters Patria, Minerva and Maria
Teresa Mirabal are murdered by men of the troops of the dictator Trojigio in San Domenico.
Thirty-one years later, Nov. 25 is established as a global day of eradicating violence
against women.
Gender violence is a regime as long as there is state and capitalism
There is no more hypocrisy than the institutions themselves (such as the General
Secretariat for Gender Equality of the Ministry of the Interior) of a system that imposes
it to talk about the eradication of gender violence : Through their laws and mechanisms -
police, courts, prisons, class exploitation, encroachment of migrant women and refugees in
camps.
There is nothing more outrageous than the representatives of a government that is
responsible for the raging attack on the protesters and demonstrators of the anarchist
blocks in the course of the Polytechnic, with the throwing of chemical, wild beatings and
arrests, as well as for the use of aura and police in the Exarchia area. And all this,
with the political chiefs of the police (Gerovasilis and Papakosta), to congratulate the
uniformed killers "for the self-restraint they have shown".
How can one talk about violence against women by stating that the struggles are confronted
with state repression, police brutality or its threat, with boss terrorism? Faced with
violence which always has extra sexist sign, aiming to humiliate, punish and conformity
women and as such they dared to rebel, to challenge patriarchal stereotypes and to stand
up against injustice? How can you obscure that state violence against struggling women is
part of systemic violence that aims at social enslavement and targets all those who
struggle to overthrow it?
How can one talk about this violence by stating that it is not individual incidents but a
constituent element of a patriarchal, power and capitalist system organized to impose
inequality and freedom? A system that, in its times of crisis, to stay unscathed, invests
even more in social cannibalism, promoting the violence of the powerful against the "weak"
on the basis of the class, gendered and racist hierarchy. This is an operation which
results in the reproduction of authoritarian violence on the social body, apochalinosi
social ekfasismou with the blessings of law and order, as happened with the murder of
Jacques Kostopoulos / Zackie Oh, the tension and the increase of gender discrimination and
of the abuse of women.
How do the representatives of the system who perpetuate and legitimize it speak about this
violence?
Police and institutional violence
"You are an unjust service. And because your role is thin, the truth is that they often
attack you without deserving it "
Olga Gerovasilis, addressed to MAT, 8/11/2018
Thousands of women daily deny the role of the victim, stand solidly side by side, build
through the individual and collective uprising the prospect of a world of true equality
and freedom. Through participation in social and class struggles, strikes and
demonstrations, anti-fascist mobilizations and actions, squats, collectives, assemblies,
every expression of questioning the sovereign, what is expressed is not that we are
fighters even though we are women - but, on the contrary, because we are women. Because to
live, it took our first steps to confront the roles we were expecting. We are strong
because we are the fruit of this daily conflict. And we are solidarity because not only
common oppression, but also resistance, unites us.
The repression is being used to crush this insurrection to stifle the prospect of true
emancipation and to impose fear and discipline as it is employed against every attempt to
overthrow the dominant barbarity. Women struggling are also faced with sexist practices,
beatings, insults and gender-based threats. Practices of security forces that are assumed
or even "self-evident", either in the context of the "lawful violence" of the regime
against all those who resist or because the devaluation of women is considered to be
guaranteed. Practices that are taboo even for organizations that denounce other forms of
gender violence * practices that are systematically hidden and tacitly welcomed by the
authorities,
We are not going to be silent!
On November 29th, Delta police officers are being tried to torture at the expense of the
15 arrested anti-fascist mopeds in the neighborhoods of Athens in 2012, as a sign of
solidarity with immigrants and anti-Nazi partisan gangs. The comrades and comrades who
were arrested were then brutally hit on the street and then for hours in Safety, where the
fascist uniforms faded over cigarettes and threatened them in any way, including by
photographing them irregularly and stating that their data would be handed over in Golden
Dawn (to those who assassinated Paulos Fissa a few months later, under the guise of other
police officers). Among them, the comrades gathered the sexist torture of the torturers,
ridiculed and accepted physical violence.
In this trial, standing against their torturers, putting a barrier to silence and
legitimizing state violence, we will again be on their side as struggling as anarchists
and women.
Because the patriarchal violence of the state and the bosses is not a deviation or a
remnant of the past, as the rulers claim. It is present in the redundancies of pregnant
women, in the woes of hunger, in permanent job insecurity, in sexual harassment in
workplaces. It is present in the form of repression in demonstrations, such as in the
course of the Polytechnic , with the beatings, arrests and fights of fighters. It is
present at the lynching of the seropositive, gay activist Zak Kostopoulos / Zackie Oh!
with the help of ATT police officers. Omonoia. Demonization, exclusion, marginalization of
the poor, racist discrimination at the expense of LOCKS people. It is present in
concentration camps for refugees, immigrants and migrant women, the rape of an elderly
refugee in Moria , the three immigrants who were recently murdered on the banks of the
Evros, the countless women, children and men drowning in the Aegean. He is present in the
courts sentencing the 22-year-old PA . years in prison because they resisted the aspiring
rapper and acquitted circuits trafficking , as in the recent case of the business owner
"Horiatiko" , or in the case of the Xanthi rapists. State violence is present in the
condemnation of a 53-year-old woman who has been sentenced to ten years' imprisonment
simply because she has falsified the school leaving certificate in order to be able to
survive as a cleaning lady . She is present in the same prisons found by Katerina
Gulioni , fighting for the elimination of degrading vaginal checks. It is present in the
policy of ministers and government agencies responsible for the confession and confinement
of 27 seropositive women , leading, among other things, to the suicide of one of them.
And the list is not finished ...
The assumption of female emancipation will either be a part of the wider struggle for
social liberation, or it will be assimilated by patriarchy, the state, and capitalism as a
way of embellishing them
The climbing of women in positions of power (with the most up-to-date examples of the
Minister of Labor Achitsoglou, as well as the Minister and Secretary of State for Public
Order Gerovassilis and Papakostas - who even reintroduced the doctrine of zero tolerance
towards the contestants) is the sad result the crap and the assimilation effort from the
top of the women's struggles. At the same time, it is a failing means of landscaping the
bankrupt power system which, in its sepulchres, is attacking even more brutality in those
who struggle and confronts the slaves of society as surplus and exterminating populations.
Behind the legendary myths, which distort the assumption of female emancipation,
presenting it as a demand for equality in the administration of power or the pursuit of
privileges within a exploitative regime, lies the story of bloody, militant feminine
struggles from below. We are many and we come from afar. We are unemployed, workers,
students, mothers. We are anarchists, anti-fascists, insurgents. We were born from the
Communists of the French Commune, from the 19th century US immigration crashers, from the
resistance of indigenous women to the conquerors, from the Mujeres Libres of the Spanish
Revolution. Our grandmothers took the weapons against fascists and tarmacs, and they grew
us with stories of dignity and exile. Our mothers were those who stood in front of the
junta, they wrote for us slogans on the walls and sang in cells. Our sisters are Zapatista
in the mountains of Chiapas, rebelled in Kurdistan, anarchists and communists in Turkey,
fly stones and rush out with bare hands to soldiers in Palestine. They are black in
America, native Tupus in Chile and Argentina. All over the world they face governments,
armies and police. Together we meet them in a raised fist and a look of solidarity, which
reinforces our determination to destroy every human form of oppression of man by man, to
build together a world of equality, solidarity and freedom. Our sisters are Zapatista in

November 25: The Day to Eliminate Violence Against Women Without Women ---- November 25
was designated by the United Nations as the World Day for the Elimination of Violence
against Women in December 1991. This day had been established almost a decade ago by
women's organizations wishing to commemorate the three brothers Mirabal , who were
political racers from the Dominican Republic who were tortured, beaten and strangled to
death on the orders of the dictator Truhillo on 25/11/1960. ---- Today, although state and
international organizations have included on their agenda the Global Day Against Gender
Violence, violence is still "alive". For us, it is obvious that the introduction of such a
day has no real impact, nor does it mean by no means the eradication of violence against
women, but it is another attempt of the sovereignty to declassify and assimilate the
struggle for female emancipation. Although anniversaries are organized annually to
eradicate gender violence, television spots and campaigns by NGOs, contemporary versions
of the same treaty seem to be covered. The contradiction lies in the fact that while
gender equality is constitutionally and legally defined, institutions in many cases not
only do not protect women but act against them, especially if their female identity is
combined with another concept as a minority characteristic (class / social position,
race). Thus, we see, for example, the perpetuation of seropositive women by the then
health minister in 2012, the acquittal of the student's rabies in Xanthi in 2016 and the
condemnation of the 22-year-old in Corinth who defended herself against her rapist in
2017. The last " achievement "of the institutional response to violence against women is
the acquaintance of all those involved in the trafficking of women in the" village "oven.

Gender violence is a fact, despite all the "tepid" attempts of the state apparatus. Does
the state institution have not yet done so, its strength is not enough? Is not that his
purpose? Or is this situation not only fit, but also preserves its existence?
Patriarchy is a foundation stone of capitalism and has been used to consolidate and
socialize it. We understand that it is still a form of oppression, which is not separate
from the others we accept, but derives from the structure of the dominant state-capitalist
system and is the constant reminder that at any moment we can be subjected to oppression
based on our feminine nature.
Everyday depictions of gender violence are the underestimation of women in workplaces,
redundancies, domestic violence, sexual harassment, dozens of rapes, police violence
against combatants in repressive operations, and trafficking. Within a patriarchal
structured society, social legitimacy of gendered violence crystallizes either in the
acceptance of oppressive-authority behaviors or in mitigating and excusing for such
incidents. Thus, street whistling, sexual harassment, physical violence are considered as
if not normal, at least not so reprehensible, and in the case of sexual abuse, victims are
required to prove that they did not cause them. The recent example of the acquittal of a
rapist in Ireland, as the jury decided that evidence of the victim's consent constituted
her provocative pantsuit, which was presented in the courtroom, accompanied by the
rhetoric of the defense line, "You have to keep in mind what she was wearing. A lace sting
", confirms the most obvious: Patriarchy is deeply rooted in our societies and this
neoliberal illusion is being cultivated to achieve gender equality in the public domain
through the ability of women to develop into the educational, social scene is being
undermined and circumvented through this archetypal narrative about natural inferiority.

undermined and circumvented through this archetypal narrative about natural inferiority.
And perhaps another extension, more obvious, of patriarchy is the internalization of a
role that responds to what is socially acceptable to be a woman. For example, there is the
image of a woman who is naturally passive, emotionally moving and always in need of
protection from a "strong" man who is afraid to move alone in the evenings and lives with
stress do not cause the normalized uncontrolled male sexuality with the only purpose of
becoming a good companion-wife, a good mother, as she has learned from little in the dolls
and kitchens that even today are the usual girls games. "Tangible" violence, bruising,
penetration into rape is not the only violence that is being practiced, and even if we
have not experienced such situations, it does not mean that women's oppression is of
concern to us.
For us, setting a world day does not mean making any demands. We are organized and
collectivized as women against what oppresses us, aiming to diffuse the question of the
limits set on the role of women and the ideas of those who oppose patriarchy and gendered
oppression in order to make another blow to the world of power and of the divisions it has
imposed. The struggle of women for their release from the bonds of patriarchy is an
integral part of the struggle to stem the state and capitalist imposition. We unite our
voices with all the oppressed and oppressed together to build a world that will
accommodate many worlds within it to create a society of equality, solidarity and freedom
where there will be no human exploitation by man. The treatment of gendered violence
passes through the struggle for female emancipation against the state, capital and all
forms of power.

We interviewed William Hederman, an environmental researcher living in County Clare, about
the planned Liquefied Natural Gas terminal on the Shannon. Construction of it will mean
Ireland will fail to meet its Climate Change commitments and will instead be tied into
pumping out additional Greenhouse Gases for decades. As the LNG will come from the US it
will includes fracked gas, a process banned in Ireland that releases three times as much
of the very powerful Climate Change gas methane as conventional gas. [video]

Clare (FB, Twitter) who are campaigning against Shannon LNG. The plant would be on the
Shannon estuary at Ballylongford, in North Kerry.

London ACG members attended the following pickets recently: ---- Mental Health Resistance
Picket to Protest Cuts and Coercion at Westminster Heath Keynote Seminar protesting this
event which brought together some of the people who have had a hand in preventing people
receiving appropriate care and a secure income. ---- International Workers of Great
Britain picket at Senate House -solidarity with outsourced workers at University of
London- very noisy picket outside Senate House during University of London Chancellor
Princess Anne's Foundation Day visit, calling for all workers to be directly employed by
the university. The IWGB say using outside contractors to employ staff is discriminatory
as outsourced workers including security, cleaning and catering staff are predominantly
migrant and BME workers and are on far worse terms and conditions than other staff and
subjected to harassment and bullying.
