Class War Scotland CWS: We are one of the event's hosts. Meet at George Square with those
opposed to the inclusion of the Zionist groups’ GFI and COFIS to show our disgust at
SUTR/SWP for including racist groups within its march. ---- ‘Zionism is Racism - Scotland
Stand Up!’ ---- https://www.facebook.com/events/247686286110662/ ---- The Stand Up To
Racism (SUTR) campaign, and its supporters, are for a third year allowing racist
organisations such as the Confederation of Friends of Israel – Scotland (COFIS) and
Glasgow Friends of Israel (GFI) to participate in their annual march through Glasgow. ----
We call on all anti-racists to join us in George Square to stand in active opposition to
this. There will be a number of ways to take part in this counter protest throughout the
day (placards, flags, speak on the open mic, street chalk…) so we urge people to bring
their friends and families along too.
You cannot just boycott racism but you can and must actively stand up against it – no
matter where it raises its ugly head!
Free Palestine!
From Glasgow to Gaza – Victory to the Intifada!

SOLIDARITY IN THE ACQUISITION OF ZAPATISTIC COMMUNITIES AND THE GAMES OF THE MEXICOUS
PEOPLE -- WE DO NOT STAY - WE DO NOT REDUCE ---- the state murder of Samir Flores
Soberanes ---- The Mexican state, having renewed its social legitimacy through the last
electoral process in which the left-wing management of the MORENA party, headed by Andres
Manuel Loupes Obrador, emerged in the government, attempting to suppress social resistance
and impose a series of " mega-projects "across the country. ---- Within this treaty, the
Mexican state murdered the fighter Samir Flores Soberanes in the Amilcingo community of
Morelos. Samir Flores was the head of the community, a representative of the National
Indigenous Congress and the front line of the struggle against the installation of a
thermal power plant, a gas pipeline, and a series of complementary projects that destroy
the earth and threaten the region's life. He was murdered on February 20, 2019 outside his
home by an armed group of paratroopers, one day after he intervened in the "consultation"
organized by the government to impose works in the area, where he defended the reasons why
the Morelos people opposed that's all.
The gigantic design of the plunder of nature and indigenous communities is being
attempted through the intensification of the low-intensity war that has been taking place
over the last few years to mobilize paramilitary groups and drug cartels against social
resistance and, left-wing "pro-racial and anti-racist government rhetoric for the
denervation and integration of social responses. The state aims at the isolation and
suppression of indigenous struggles, the extinction of the Zapatista rebellion and
autonomy, the surrender of the land and its surrender to the great capital. It threatens
to abolish any possibility for indigenous peoples to live dignified in their lands, which
they are defending hard during their long struggle for land and freedom.
The Mayan Train, the Touantepeque Isthmus Project, the Probalbol program, which includes
forest plantations of 1,000,000 hectares of invasive marketable trees in the Lacandona
jungle, the development of the tourism industry, a series of mining mines, and the
location of Special Economic Zones part of this design, to the Zapatista soils in the
mountains of south-eastern Mexico.
It is the continuation and sharpening of the state and capitalist aggression which was
interrupted by the armed insurrection of the EZLN on 1 January 1994, which was a barrier
to the region for the plans of the then government of Carlos Salinas de Gortari and the
implementation of the transnational trade agreement NAFTA, between the US, Canada and Mexico.
A rebellion that has made the world-wide screaming of the most frightened and exploited
Mexican cry that has given birth to the indigenous and social resistance of the whole
country, which has laid the foundations for Zapatista's autonomy, paving the way for a
meeting of struggles of the "bottom" of the world that actually challenged the
declarations of the rulers of the "end of history" that once again lived in the hearts and
thoughts of the struggling people the vision of a world of equality, freedom, and solidarity.
A rebellion that, as in its 25 years since the dawn of January 1, 1994, has not been
surrendered, subdued, sold out, even today in a period of global and global systemic
crisis and wild capitalist attack, " In these lands of rebellious men and women, we are
not surrendered, we are not sold, we are not submitting, and in particular we betray the
blood, life and death of comrades who have fallen into our struggle.
We will not allow any program that destroys the life of mankind and kills mother.
Because behind them are the interests of the great local and multinational capitalists.
As much as they try to humiliate us with their repressive forces, such as the
gendarmerie, we will not stop defending our motherland, because in it we were born, in it
we live and there we will die.
From 1492 to 2018, there have been 525 years of resistance and rebellion against the
great humiliations of foreigners and Mexicans. Nevertheless, they never managed to kill
us. We, the people with the dark blood, and the mother earth color, repeat that we are
here and we will continue to be here. "
Illegal Revolutionary Indigenous Commission
General Administration of the Zapatista National Liberation Army, EZLN
Mexico, January 2019
"Let them say and think what they want, then we will defend ourselves. Whatever happens,
whatever cost us, whatever it comes from. We will defend, we will fight if necessary.
Let us be clear, comrades and comrades. There are no saviors here. The only saviors are
the men and women who fight and organize themselves with the people.
This is the change we want: one day, the people, the world, women and men can decide for
themselves, how they want to live. Not a group defines the lives of millions of people. No."
Inaugural Deputy Governor Moisés -EZLN. Mexico, January 2019
As anarchist fighters and fighters, we stand beside our comrades and Zapatista comrades,
through our struggles against the same oppressors: the political and economic bosses and
their partisan fascist gangs. In our daily struggles on the fronts of resistance against
injustice, inequality, oppression, exploitation, racism, social cannibalism, nationalism,
war and the plunder of the natural world in our lands, we meet with anxiety, anger , the
pain and dreams of our comrades as far as they are. Faced with the endangered warfare in
the Zapatista communities, we call for a concentration-intervention in the Mexican embassy
in Athens and we send from the streets of Greece, When they hit one of those who struggle
with dignity from below, they will find us all against them.

Trump's announcement of the withdrawal of US troops and Putin's tacit assent to Erdogan's
invasion plans sounded like a warning shot in the northern skies of Syria. ---- These new
data announce the end of a tactical agreement between the revolutionary forces of northern
Syria and the interested support that some of the international actors (Russia, France and
the United States) could bring to them. The reasons are complex: Trump wants to withdraw
his troops as soon as possible to boast a victory against the Islamic State but also try
to calm the Turqiue, his ally in NATO, which has never accepted US military support for
armed forces led by Kurdish fighters and combatants. ---- Putin, in giving his assent to
the Turkish invasion seeks in reverse to crack the NATO bloc by bringing Turkey closer to
his lap. It should be noted, however, that part of the deep US state seems to be
maneuvering to, at least, slow down this withdrawal. This is of course not of any interest
for the democratic confederalism developed in the north of Syria but of a calculation to
maintain their presence in the north of Syria, mainly to prevent the reemergence of Daesh
but also to counterbalance the Iran's influence on Syria.
The inefficiency of the UN in the Syrian file
In this geopolitical slump, what are the chances for progressive forces to maintain their
gains ? It seems that the strategy of the PYD (majority party in northern Syria) is to
play the card of negotiation with the Damascus regime. This is clearly not the most
enviable solution, however, facing Turkey, NATO's second army, which seeks to destroy
their project by all means, the disinterest of the imperialist powers, the endemic
weakness of the international revolutionary forces and the ineffable inefficiency of the
UN in the Syrian file, the only way for them seems to find a compromise with Bashar Al-Assad.
In the negotiations with Damascus, the peoples of northern Syria run the risk of losing
quite a lot of the gains they were able to obtain during the civil war. Despite this, it
is to be hoped that the implantation of democratic experiences during these years of
autonomy is sufficient to prevent Damascus from being able to re-establish its state
domination even if an agreement was reached.
The regime seems to be heading for a victory in this civil war, but it also comes out
incredibly weakened (economically and militarily). This casts doubt on its ability to
re-establish real authority over its territories in northern Syria. Especially since in
view of its strategy during the civil war, the Rojava does not seem the priority in its
agenda. Let's be honest, this choice is tough and none of us would like to have it.
The greatest hope for the project of democratic confederalism remains its extension in
Turkey and Iraq, it would be the best guarantee for the revolution to preserve its
achievements.

"In this decisive moment when definitions are to be fulfilled in deeds and positions in
forceful actions, the definition and position of women - of free women, of those who
affirm their resolute will to be - give us the facts and actions that these pages collect
as plausibly as possible. Together with the soft hand of women who heal wounds, take care
of the children or offer a sip of water to the fighter's thirst for fire, we highlight the
strong arm of the woman who raises a rifle. This does not mean, in any way, the
renunciation of a human sense that we want to proclaim above all else. But our human sense
is integral, active and belligerent. And it is transcendent. That is, it achieves more
than immediate relief from immediate pain. It aims at the radical elimination of pain,
[...]Meanwhile, our human sense, precisely our human sense, compels us to fight hard,
cruel, ruthless against an implacable enemy. Through death, over death, we defend life.
The only life that deserves to be defended: life in full freedom ".
Our human sense, Mujeres Libres magazine
In this 8M, important date of struggle for the oppressed women of the world, we, women of
the Gaucho Anarchist Federation, invite everyone and everyone to a reflection and to join
in the struggle for a life of dignity, for a life in freedom.
The crisis we face on the planet is an economic, political and ecological crisis. Reactive
and conservative forces spread like a plague, presenting themselves as a salvationist
solution. Upstairs, jackets, pens, rifles, and money give the game rules. They sack our
territories, destroy our planet, attack rights and freedoms, kill our people.In Brazil,
the end of the pact and the aggressive escalation of financial capitalism over social
rights culminated in the election of Bolsonaro. The dismantling of social movements
carried out by the PT governments (which transformed fighters into government and weakened
the capacity to react), the association of left-wing ideas with the structures of old
politics, the voracious interests of capitalism, along with the worldwide conservative
rise post crisis 2008 are some elements that have brought us to this stage of Police
Adjustment State. It is the deepening of the aggressive model of neoliberal capitalism
with police and state controls. Militarization is the conservative and repressive aspect
of the capital crisis in the offensive of the financial system over common goods and
social rights.
In this anti-people war there is an attack especially against the movements of women and
LGBTQI +, black people and native peoples.
Colonial racism and patriarchy are updated and impose the challenge of organizing
struggles firmly, without retreating. Some guidelines require special attention and
immediate action in the fight.
The norm for the poor, black and peripheral, in any government, has always been the penal
state. Peasants have stepped up the criminal justice system with a legislative-judicial
apparatus that has replicated the super-imprisonment of the poor and blacks, which reaches
the mark of 726,000 inmates and has about 64% of blacks serving time, according to
Infopen.Updating a national security doctrine starting from the mega-events in the Dilma
government and in an even more dangerous way with the recent barracks movements promotes
the continuation and expansion of super-entrapment in a dangerous change in the context of
public security and criminal justice. It is evident the state's performance not only in
letting die, but in killing. As examples, the genocide of the black people and the
original populations as a state project, police violence, federal interventions, the drug
warwhile war on our people and mass incarceration. It is the siege that closes on poverty
and social movements. Racism and patriarchy are articulated in a dramatic way putting
black women in the base of all oppressions, those who feel the violence of men and the
state most in the flesh.
In the system based on patriarchy, which has the heterosexual and rich white man at the
top of the social hierarchy, the violence that strikes us is that we are women. The
economic violence of fiscal adjustment increases our vulnerability to macho violence,
which has its culmination in femicide, but which strikes us in different ways, all cruel.
An example of this, 2019 began with one of the highest rates of feminicide in Brazil, 107
cases of femicide registered in the first 20 days of the year. In Brazil, the rate of
feminicide is 4.8 per 100,000 women, the fifth largest in the world, according to the
World Health Organization (WHO). Raw murders is is, mutilations, rape, torture and
degradation of our bodies, that are problems area is that we face daily because of gender
violence in our society. More broadly, we also feel more about unemployment,
precariousness, and the scarcity of life.
Among the perverse forms of violence against women, the culture of rape is present
throughout society. In Brazil it is a constituent part of social formation, for under the
slogan of cultural miscegenation (or fallacy of racial democracy)there is a country formed
from the colonial rape of blacks and Indians. Statistics show that 70% of rape victims in
Brazil are children and adolescents, according to IPEA survey, based on data from 2011;
about 15% of the rapes recorded in the Ministry of Health system involved two or more
perpetrators; 70% of rapes are committed by relatives, boyfriends or friends /
acquaintances of the victim. In 2014, Brazil had one rape case reported every 11 minutes.
The culture of rape exists from the inadmissible idea that the bodies and lives of women
naturally serve male domination. It resides in our midst as a permanent reminder that we
live in an extremely violent society with women. And such violence tends to worsen in the
face of the advance of conservatism we are facing. Increasingly, we are certain that we
need spaces for self-defense, participation and empowerment for women.Faced with such
data, the surprising proposal (so absurd) of the current president is chemical castration
as punishment for rapists; palliative way of preventing the perpetrator from engaging in
sexual intercourse. However, sad actual data have reports of victims raped with other
instruments, subjected, humiliated and exposed to conditions unworthy of medical care,
under the judgment of patriarchal eyes of society and show you by d which stud p ro not
three to minutes x , but p od er mess i tar .The culture of rape, the bloody statistics
and the bundle of PLs in hand that touch us directly show that the fight for the right to
decide on our bodies is a fundamental agenda. We demand a world where our bodies are not
understood as public goods and property of men and the state. We want the freedom to walk
in public space without being harassed. That neither men, nor state , nor church decide
how, when and if we are going to have children. Let no one tell us how to act, what to
wear, who to love. We want to be ungovernable!
After the labor reform and unrestricted outsourcing that have impacted us more intensely,
comes the nefarious pension reform of the Bolsonaro government, which if approved will
push generations of elderly people to misery and kill us from so much work and is even
more perverse for us women. It disregards the sexual division of labor still present in
every society, which assigns us the worst wages, the worst working conditions and greater
responsibilities and the accumulation of unpaid work. Women work an average of 7.5 more
hours a week, due to double and triple working hours. This project makes it even more
difficult for the elderly and the most vulnerable families to have access to social
security benefits; disregards the reality of the millions of women in our country: rural
and urban workers, mothers, ambulant, domestic ... There is no privilege in the retirement
of the workers! In order to sustain the wealthy spree they want to rip our blood and make
us work until we die. It is our task to take place at the center of popular struggles,
from below, to defend every right that threatens to tear us up.
There is a lot of violence and there is so much to do. This story does not begin with us,
nor does it end tomorrow.
Isabel, Maria de Lourdes, Branca, Alzira, Elvira, Angelina. Lucy, Mercedes, Lucia, Fanny.
Elena, Louise, Amparo. Macarena, Claudia, Marielle, Tatiana.
So many other erased anonymous fighters in the history of men. There are many who have
gone before us. Many that have fallen, many that are not.
In this 8M we also remember so many who are examples of militants in the tireless fight
for the liberation of our bodies and the conquest of a dignified life. We carry in us his
legacy.
As anarchists, we believe that the anti-patriarchal struggle and feminism, as well as the
anti-racist and anticolonial struggle, are fundamental strategies to destroy this system
that annihilates us in many ways. We understand that power relations are structured in
specific ways and we must understand them if we want to destroy the system of oppression
as a whole. We believe in building a kind of militancy that has active participation in
popular organizations. That it develops action through direct action and direct democracy.
A class feminist and grassroots. Our feminism is social and collective struggle. We do not
believe in a specialization of the feminist struggle, but rather that feminism must cross
the whole of our organization. That feminist formulations and methodologies can contribute
not to individual freedom,
The women on the 8th of March have nothing to celebrate, but rather to dare. To show our
struggle in the trenches of the macho, racist and patriarchal everyday. Decolonize the
territory of our bodies, solidifying the achievements, because a woman fighting the future
of all is changing!
In this 8M and every day, with bonds of solidarity and collective responsibility, let us
take our place in the struggle for a world without injustice. Let's use whatever weapons
we need. Let us not be afraid, let us have indignant bodies.
For those who fought before us, for all those who are not and for none less.
WOMAN IS RESISTANCE!

Dear All, ---- The Vrije Bond (Free Union) supports the education action that is held
during the week from 11 to 15 March. The action week ends with a major national education
demonstration on Friday 15 March from 12:00 on the Malieveld in The Hague. This is a
historically large demonstration in which primary, secondary and higher education teachers
jointly campaign for the first time. ---- We, the Actiegroep Arbeidsonrust (the Labour
Agitation Action Group), want to participate in the demonstration on behalf of the Vrije
Bond. In the first instance, we want to focus on the teachers and emphasize the strength
and importance of self-organization versus the accommodating corporatist policymakers of
large unions such as the FNV, which not only facilitate directly or indirectly cuts or
dubious interventions in the national education programs, but also corrupt school boards
that hoard money or use available or extra money differently than what it has been
destined for.
As an active working group of the Vrije Bond, we want to inspire a more anarchistic view
and organize it autonomously, so that teachers can organize themselves in a collective,
for example, to collect ideas and actions to change things, no matter how small. For
example, parents, family members or students or students can also organize themselves in a
collective: organizing works best when people organize themselves not only within their
own group, but also between themselves. And if possible, not only ‘horizontal', but also
vertical with people who hold a higher or lower position in an organization.
We hope to participate in the demonstration together with other Vrije Bond members, both
people working in education and sympathizers, to share experiences and ideas and to
jointly announce the Vrije Bond and to give it more face. We also hope to meet and
mobilize new people who are interested in more autonomous and direct organization and
people who want to help with possible follow-up activities within the framework of
self-organization, in the first instance in the Amsterdam region.
If you see us at the demonstration, have a chat or join us!
In short:
where: Malieveld, Den Haag time: 12:00

A rally against the isolation of Runet was held in Moscow today. According to the
organizers of the action, more than 15 thousand people passed beyond the limits set by the
police, after which the police blocked the entrance. Those who came to the event, who did
not have time to pass the inspection, were forced to stand outside the framework. In
general, due to the established framework on Akademik Sakharov Avenue, there was a huge
queue of participants and participants in the rally, so the performances began almost an
hour late. ---- Anarchists and anarchists have launched the Ban on Forbid Banner banner,
the slogan of which was invented back in 1968. He attracted the attention of the audience
- the anarhoblock was actively filmed and interviewed several of its participants and
participants. There was also a poster calling for isolating the authorities of the Russian
Federation from the world, and not the people.
After the end of the speeches on Sakharov Avenue, a small march was arranged under
anarchist flags to the point of exit from the event.
Internet resources report about 28 arrests on the action; there is currently no
information that any of the anarchists or anarchists were detained.
Sob.
Anarchoblock leaflet text
The Internet should be an alternative!
Next week, the State Duma plans to adopt a new law on restricting the freedom of network
communication: the so-called "Senator Klishas law" on which Russia can be disconnected
from the world wide web.
The state is constantly trying to restrict freedom in the network: for example, this week
a law was passed to punish for "disrespect for the authorities".
The Internet is not only an adequate information space. It lays down mechanisms that allow
people to equip their lives and make decisions, bypassing the authoritarian bureaucratic
state apparatus. Economic relations, excluding the state, are already forming on the Internet.
States are afraid of the Internet, as it makes them unnecessary. Therefore, we,
anarchists, must protect the Internet. Join the protest and send us reports on your
actions in defense of the world wide web, read the news of the resistance!
