Despite industry uptick wages remain among worst in world ,while land rights are denied 
estate laborers ---- The tea industry has rebounded from a protracted rocky patch but many 
workers claim they are still mistreated and neglected. ---- Tea workers and leaders of 
labor unions in Bangladesh say the revival of the tea industry and rising profits is not 
improving their lot, as they wrestle with woefully low wages, poor treatment, 
discrimination, and unfair land rights. ---- They receive an average daily wage of 102 
Taka (US$1.22) plus weekly rations of three kilograms of food. ---- "Tea workers' wages 
are among the lowest in the world," Pankaj Kanda, vice-president of the Bangladesh Tea 
Workers Union, told BASF. ---- "That's not enough for them to live a decent and dignified 
life. The cost of daily essentials is rising and tea workers are struggling to keep their 
health and spirits up," he said.

The industry has fallen from its former glory, when it exported tons of tea, but a recent 
uptick in domestic demand has spelt good news for domestic producers and plantation owners.

Experts say the country now produces almost enough tea to cover all of its domestic needs 
but still has a way to go before the industry is strong enough to compete internationally.

In 2018, the nation's 164 tea estates that occupy a total of 111,37000 hectares produced 
80.2 million kilograms of tea, the highest amount in recent times.

Most are concentrated in the Sylhet, Moulvibazar, Habiganj and Sunamganj districts of 
Sylhet division, coined Bangladesh's tea plantation hub.

Estate owners credit the growth to favorable weather, government assistance to help make 
better use of tea estates, the installation of modern equipment in factories, and a wage 
rise for tea laborers last year.

According to official statistics, the industry employs 97,000 registered workers and 
25,000 irregular or seasonal workers. Activists say the true number of workers in the 
community, including their families, is closer to 700,000.

Meanwhile, those at the grassroots level paint a less rosy picture of this punishing 
career that is customarily passed down from generation to generation among households.

Some say they live in fear of eviction threats and the prospect of being arrested.

Kanda is a former tea worker whose grandfather, father and mother were registered workers 
at the same estate.

"I inherited my father's work and my brother got my mother's job," said the practicing 
Catholic.

"A tea worker is entitled to a one-room accommodation, which has become too cramped as our 
family has grown."

"Some of us have managed to build our own houses, but we can't claim ownership of them due 
to the country's laws on land rights, which don't grant us this entitlement," he noted.

Most tea workers are low-caste Hindus or tribal people who were originally brought over by 
British colonial rulers when they established the first tea estates in Bangladesh in the 
1850s.

Tea workers are among the most marginalized and discriminated against groups in the 
country. Many work in conditions some have compared to modern-day slavery. Most live in 
squalid, mud-walled and thatched-roofed houses. Families are allowed to live there as long 
as one member works the estate.

Most lack the skills and opportunities to seek alternative employment. Despite directives 
in the labor law, they do not have adequate access to education or health services.

"All of the tea estates are supposed to operate schools for the children of their workers, 
and hospitals to ensure they have access to medical services," Kanda said.

"While it's true there are some hospitals, the facilities are inadequate. Moreover, most 
estates don't set up or run schools," he added.

"On paper things look much more rosy, but the reality on the ground is that life is harsh 
for these laborers."

He said their daily wage should not be less than 300 Taka ($3.60), or three times above 
what most of them receive.

"They are supposed to get a pay rise every two y

On Saturday, August 3, the Anarchist Collective Emma Goldman organized a self-managed pot 
in the park located at the corner of Tessier and Jacques-Cartier streets in downtown 
Chicoutimi. Several people went to lend a hand to the construction of the furniture. We 
also talked about the rest of the development of the park. People were able to share a 
good dinner of submarine veggies and discuss their situation and their vision of the 
neighborhood. Still beautiful meetings that confirm once again the importance of meeting 
and continuing to organize such events. Always in an offensive perspective and building an 
alternative in our neighborhood. ---- This self-managed pot is another chapter in the 
fight we are fighting against the gentrification of our living environment. It was a 
question of continuing to put the stakeholders in the gentrification of the neighborhood 
in the spotlight. That's why we put the emphasis on the work of destruction orchestrated 
as a master by municipal councilor Simon-Olivier Côté. Of course, the latter is not the 
person in charge of all the changes in the city center. But in spite of everything, there 
remains a person who holds power and who uses it according to his interests. It 
participates in the destruction of our neighborhood either by its inaction or with the 
help of the city council, the owners and other bourgeois traders. Many people talk about 
downtown revitalization, but how does it translate into reality? By an explosion of 
restaurants and cafés, by office towers for private companies or by the construction of 
parking lots to allow people to come and consume in this "business district". More parking 
that will allow access to more cars that will then need more parking, etc. An infernal 
cycle that never ends. Moreover, it is very paradoxical to see so many restaurants open in 
this neighborhood which is a real food desert. The inhabitants will not go grocery 
shopping in these restaurants bobos let alone go 3-4 times weeks to feed. by office towers

This vision of revitalization is only in their head and their speech, making the misery of 
many of the people living in the downtown area invisible. Do as if they and they were not 
there! The nice "revitalisers" must say that at worst, the poor will all eat at the soup 
kitchen. This revitalization of the social fabric and habitable spaces in the city center 
is causing an exodus of people. Through discussions, we learned that many people have left 
for the Saint-Paul district for example. For those who whine that we are against 
everything and we propose nothing, and soon we will release an "alternative urban plan" 
where we will concretely develop future projects and a vision of our living environment,

When we talk about inner-city transformations with people in the neighborhood, we hear a 
different story than bourgeois media soap operas and the so-called words of our elites. 
The needs in the neighborhood are glaring. It's as if no one listened to those who are 
torn apart. Community resources are running out of steam and it is as if the provision of 
scarce funding to them has been used by the elites to get rid of their system of misery. 
Same thing about the supposed democracy in the neighborhood - you can talk and talk long, 
but you have no power over the affairs of your neighborhood if you do not have much! Must 
give the chance to the runners it seems: go and take part in a heritage committee to 
realize that we are looking for ways to make heritage destruction acceptable. This is 
contempt. None of the people present were positive about the neighborhood councilor's 
political record. "There were a lot of promises, but none were fulfilled," noted nearby 
traders who passed by. Many people have expressed their frustration at the fascination 
with parking lots in our local administration. The destruction is increasing and the file 
is very poorly managed: it is simply ugly and harmful in terms of neighborhood life. Our 
idea of a park at the corner of Tessier and Jacques-Cartier streets was well received by 
the participants. In the heart of the neighborhood, something is missing. Many people 
found it deplorable and abject that the city had year after year, sent its municipal 
employees to steal and destroy the benches we built to transform the vacant lot owned by 
Promotion Saguenay into a social space. The city councilor is under pressure again: will 
he let once more the theft and the rampage occur? One of the common findings we heard was 
about setting the managers for the money and forgetfulness of the humans who live here.

"revitalizing" the neighborhoodThere are many people who are hungry. To a so-called 
"eco-responsible" lady who recently wrote us "a good idea for the residents of the 
sector[would]to go and take their CV to these businesses instead of complaining that they 
are bourgeois places" a young construction worker from the neighborhood we spoke to would 
have liked to answer that it's really thankless - it's not a way out of poverty and it's 
denial of all the issues in this system of inequality. "We are exploited." It is treating 
the world like disposable cattle. The fight against gentrification must continue to combat 
contempt and build lasting solidarity based on collective self-reliance, mutual assistance 
and the resumption of power over our living environments.

We place ourselves resolutely on the side of the peoples, against all the imperialisms, 
whether world or regional. We are campaigning for the abolition of the commercial plunder 
that is ruining the countries of the South, and for the freedom of movement and settlement 
of the workers. ---- Kurdish Militian YPJ, Syria, in 2012. ---- cc YPJ-YPG ---- The 
division of land space into nation-states is a construction linked to the historical 
development of capitalism and states. It is on the ideological base of "the nation" that 
the political domination of the State and the ruling classes of which it is the instrument 
is forged. ---- National ideology rests on the ultimate denial of all the differences, of 
all the antagonisms on a given territory: negation of the plurality of cultures and 
languages, negation of the class struggle, negation of the relations of domination and 
domination. oppression.

We therefore reject the nationalist political logics that actually build a myth based on 
purity and "cultural autarky" in order to oppose the exploited between them and them, and 
to justify their submission.

Libertarian federalism seems to allow the coexistence of multiple cultures and their 
mixing, without a single being imposed on individuals by a political power.

The rise of capitalism, the XIX th and XX thcenturies, has been done without the 
systematic pillaging of the South of resources. The consequences are disastrous: wars and 
massacres, destruction of ecological balances, food crops, local production, for the 
benefit of wealth export sectors to colonial empires. Local economies have found 
themselves incomplete, dependent, unable to respond to the needs of the population 
resulting in rising inequality, misery, hunger, exile.

Our anticolonialism
We oppose colonial and neocolonial imperialism, which legitimizes racist speeches, 
military operations, the organized plundering of natural resources by the alliance between 
the Western bourgeoisies and their relays at the head of the "old" colonies.

The independence struggles of the XX thcentury led to a redeployment of imperialism. 
Formal independence has resulted in a shift from direct domination to indirect dominance, 
based on support for now national ruling classes, but exercising power in the interests of 
the former. colonial power. In many former colonies, it retains a dominant military and 
economic presence, and ensures that governments in power are compatible with its 
interests. These relations of domination were then accentuated with capitalist 
globalization, through indebtedness, monetary control mechanisms and unfair commercial 
relations.

The end of the Cold War and the beginning of the XXI thcentury saw new powers emerge at 
the regional, continental or even global. They compete with the former imperialist powers, 
challenge their monopoly of neocolonial economic predation and their political influence 
on the local ruling classes. If the latter can sometimes take advantage of this situation 
to make their private interests bear fruit, it is only a question of the perpetuation of 
an external domination for the populations of the former colonies. A new imperialism is 
replacing or superimposed on another, the competition between the two may even degenerate 
into a proxy conflict of which the local populations are always the victims.

Resolute opponents of French imperialism, we demand the lifting of the supervision of the 
French State over the overseas departments, the eradication of Françafrique networks and 
the end of foreign military interventionism.

The support we bring to the struggles of peoples against imperialism is at the same time 
lucid and critical. Historically, anticolonialist struggles, always legitimate in their 
refusal of domination, and in this a priori always to support, have often given birth to 
bureaucratic regimes militarized, even involved in forms of neocolonialism. So our 
solidarity goes to the forces that, in their struggle against colonial domination, 
associate a project of social emancipation, democratic, even anticapitalist and 
federalist, relying on the proletariat and the peasantry.

In doing so, we place ourselves resolutely on the side of the peoples, against all the 
imperialisms, whether global or regional. We reject the "campist" reading grid which 
consists of supporting or despising the popular struggles according to the imperialist 
camp that they hinder.

cc Sébastien / UCL Paris Northeast
Class solidarity without borders
Capitalism has been built on a global scale. A class strategy would be unthinkable if it 
were limited to one country. The stakes are international, and the social movements have 
an important delay to fill. A fight for an internationalist orientation is necessary, 
which will have to pass on the body of many "sovereignist" and localist resistances .

We are strongly in favor of freedom of movement and installation. The most powerful states 
orchestrate the free movement of capital and goods, while erecting boundaries and walls 
between the exploited. These borders do not prevent migration: they kill thousands of 
migrants. On the other hand, they make it possible to create a category of illegal and 
private workers in the North. We are campaigning for their regularization, and for the 
abolition of the commercial plunder that is ruining their countries and throwing them on 
the roads of exile. There is no possible fight against North-South inequalities without 
struggle for freedom of movement and settlement.

We advocate international solidarity among workers from all countries, between peoples, 
feminist and LGBTI solidarity, environmentalists, against states and all imperialisms. 
International unity remains to be built, particularly through concrete, coordinated 
actions to confront long-standing multinational powers.

A broad coalition is calling for a major demonstration in Dresden on 24 August. FAU 
Leipzig joins the call for this demonstration and is mobilizing people to participate. We 
stand against the right mob that is forming in society and party politics We stand for 
class solidarity and an internationalism that is consistent. As a militant workers‘ union, 
we oppose the ideologies of capitalism and nationalism which have left and continue to 
leave nothing but ruins and suffering in their wake. ---- The right wants to go back to 
the past, we want the future! ---- To make it clear: the right mob that is forming in 
society and party politics has nothing to offer but the bogeyman of who supposedly is 
“different and foreign”. Where the right is in power, policies that benefit the rich are 
continued, the freedoms of expression and the press are eliminated, unions suffer from 
repression and society is brought into line by authoritarianism.

We organize workers based on solidarity – whether they’re migrants or their 
(grand-)parents were, whether they’re locals or refugees. With our militant union movement 
we face the everyday demands of the capitalist workplace together, globally!

In times of virulent racist and nationalist mobilizations, a society based on solidarity 
will not just be given to us, it is up to us to organize ourselves and fight: at the 
workplace and in the streets.

FAU Leipzig hence joins the #unteilbar call.

There is a dramatic political shift: racism and misanthropy became socially acceptable. 
What was unthinkable yesterday and considered unspeakable is reality today. Humanity and 
human rights, religious freedom and the rule of law are openly attacked. This is an attack 
that affects all of us.

We know about the importance of the state elections in Saxony and current political 
conditions regarding the dispute over the nationwide shift to the right.

Europe is seized by nationalistic changes of desolidarization and exclusion. Criticism of 
these inhumane conditions is deliberately defamed as unrealistic. In this situation, we do 
not allow that the welfare state, refugees and migration are being pitted against each 
other. We fight back, when human rights and fundamental liberties are being endangered.

While the state is tightening so-called security laws and expands surveillance for the 
determination of its strength, the social system is characterized by weakness: people 
suffer from the fact that far too little is invested, such as in education, care and 
health, in the fight against the ecological crisis, in public transport, child care and 
youth culture. While agricultural infrastructure is heavily underfunded and people are 
pushing into urban centers, there is a lack of affordable housing in the cities. The 
redistribution from the bottom up was massively driven by crisis, such as the 
“Wendekrise”, Agenda 2010 and the financial crisis. Billon profits due to tax-advantages 
counterpart one of the largest low-wage sectors in Europe and the impoverishment of 
disadvantaged people.

Not with us – we hold against this!

„For an open country with free people“ in 1989 many people demonstrated under that slogan. 
This message has not lost its relevancy until today and is expected to return to the 
streets this summer. Now we stand up for an open and solidary society, in which human 
rights are indivisible and diverse and self-determined life-plans are self- evident- in 
Saxony, Germany and worldwide.  We oppose any form of discrimination and hate speech. 
Together, we oppose racism, anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim racism, anti-romanism, 
anti-feminism and LGBTTIQ* hostility. People who rely on the solidarity of society must 
not be pitted against each other. The equivalence of everyone concerning their reputation 
and their possibilities is not negotiable. All people living here must be enabled to 
participate in society.

We already are many who are committed:

Whether at the external borders of Europe, in the field of refugee organizations and 
welcome initiatives, in queer feminist or antiracist movements, in migrant organizations, 
in disability- or child´s-rights organizations, in unions, in associations, NGOs, 
religious communities, neighborhood associations. Whether in the fight against housing 
shortages, repression, care needs, against surveillance and restricting laws, against the 
deprivation of refugees and for climate justice – since “the fall of solidarity” hundreds 
of thousands of people went out on the streets for a solidary society – in many places 
people are active and committed to create a society of many. This start of social 
movements will be continued this summer.

As a start to our joint activities, a demonstration will take place on July 6 in Leipzig, 
with which we want to initiate the #unteilbar summer in Saxony. The highlight will be a 
large-scale demonstration with nationwide mobilization on August 24, 2019 in Dresden. In 
between we want to cooperate with the #wannwennnichtjetzt concert and market place tour in 
Plauen, in the Erzgebirge, in Zwickau, Grimma and Bautzen. From now on we will be active 
in many different local places and will mobilize nationwide for the demonstration in Dresden.

#unteilbar Sachsen flourishes through our commitment. Everyone is needed for preparations: 
Start networking with others and mobilizing in your neighborhoods.

For an open and free society – Solidarity instead of exclusion in Saxony and far beyond!

For a Europe of human rights and social justice!
For a solidary and social togetherness in Saxony instead of exclusion and racism!
For the right of protection and asylum – Against the isolation of Europe!
For a free and diverse society! Solidarity knows no borders!

Demonstration in Dresden: 24.08. // 13 h // Altmarkt

Stay tuned & join the black-red block!

"Fùcur," said Bastiano again, "how do you ever want to complete what I leave you 
unfinished?" ---- The white dragon winked at him from the ruby pupil and replied: ---- 
"With a little luck, son. With a little luck! " ---- This morning in Bologna the eviction 
of XM24 began, a beautiful reality that plays an important social role in the city, a 
social space that cultivates those values of another world, inclusive and open, in direct 
opposition to the project of death, desolation and exploitation in the name and on behalf 
of building speculation. ---- Once again, the rulers are attacking with batons and 
bulldozers in an attempt to erase the social opposition, solidarity, active and

society. The day after the approval of the so-called security decree bis, a reinforcement 
of the repression under the grin of the Minister of the Interior, proud in his role of 
pedestrian of the projects of domination of the Italian bourgeoisie.

Faced with the creative, libertarian and determined resistance on the roof, in the pool 
and outside on the courtyard, of all the people who have XM24 and all that it represents 
in the heart, the forces of disorder - the only ones to exercise violence - must withdraw. 
Because repression is not enough to erase XM24, the arrogance of the powerful is not 
enough. It has never been enough, and we see it in these hours of struggle and 
determination where hundreds of people resist the advancing Nothing , in defense of their 
space, in defense of self-management and solidarity. Because as long as there is a 
government, a policeman and a master there will be resistance, struggle and organization 
from below, this is the Infinite History.

Solidarity with XM24!

No more evictions and repression!

On August 3, in Moscow, one of the largest protests with a mass grabber took place. 
Estimates of the number of participants vary from 1,500 to 10,000. Detained - 1001 people. 
Given that Belarus and Russia all the time exchange experiences in suppressing protests, 
and, like real autocracies, are investing huge resources in this matter, it is very 
important for us to study the experience of Moscow in order to subsequently make its 
uprising more effective. ---- The most important thing that catches your eye: the 
government has prepared. Prepared thoroughly and seriously. Somewhere upstairs, they are 
very stupid people who knew what would happen and how to deal with it as efficiently as 
possible. They not only fired into the streets a bunch of riot police who beat and 
dispersed everyone, but applied a whole range of thoughtful and complementary measures.

We list briefly which of this we can learn from for ourselves:

1. The cops are afraid of the deanon. In this protest, unlike the previous one, riot 
police were masked, because those who revealed their face after July 27 began to mass 
deanonize and poison on social networks. They fear for their personal safety - which means 
the further they are, the more they realize their mortality and physical vulnerability. 
It's good.

It is also curious that through the loudspeaker, convincing the audience to disperse, the 
propagandist appealed to national unity. From the megaphone sounded: "Dear citizens, do 
not disturb public order. Rosguard employees serve to ensure your safety. Most of them are 
your sons. Do not violate public order and the law. "

We will hear more - oh, we will hear more than once! - this is the protests in Minsk from 
the "moderate opposition", all kinds of negotiators and compromise seekers who will emerge 
like worms from damp land, as soon as the throne under Luke staggers. But this is a 
separate issue.

2. The authorities do not constrain themselves in attracting resources: in addition to 
tens of thousands of personnel, helicopters are used.

Through pressure on private companies, they are forced to switch to the side of evil:

YouDrive car sharing has banned leaving cars inside the Garden Ring.

Disconnection by mobile Internet operators.

Internet disconnection in nearby catering establishments

3 . Great forces were thrown by power to the digital front:

DDoS attack on major opposition sites.

Activation of pro-government trolls in comments and groups on social networks. The most 
active riveting of military pictures, reactions of "ordinary citizens", etc.

4. As always, authorities fear radicalization of protests. Bags were checked at random 
passers-by: they were looking for gas canisters and everything that could be used as a 
weapon. The risk category is middle-aged men. This fact speaks for itself.

5. Cell phones were taken away from detainees for 2 weeks under the pretext that these are 
material evidence in a criminal case. Later they try to open them (equipment for this to 
authoritarian countries is supplied by Israeli and Chinese companies). Encrypt your mobile 
devices! Keep them updated on time.

6. Mercilessly and without hesitation, criminal cases are instituted. There is only one 
goal - bullying. How am I going from a comfortable home and family for many years to a 
prison cell?

Findings:

Decentralized protests work. In general, given the other equal number of people, to 
suppress such authorities, it is necessary to attract much more resources than for 
centralized protests.

But legal mechanisms are not. Do not allow lawyers or children's ombudsmen to be detained? 
Beat those who do not resist, do not provide medical care, force fingerprints? Easy. Dogs 
in uniform protect not the law, they protect the privileges of the elites, their power and 
property. Therefore, for a direct, arrogant and continuing violation of the law, the case 
will not. Hence the logical conclusion that trying to keep the protest and their actions 
within the law, endlessly appeal to the law as the highest value, and even more so to 
declare the "provocateurs" of protesters who violate the law (representatives of the 
opposition like to do this) is silly and short-sighted .. It's like trying to win, 
fighting by the rules that your enemy wrote. Therefore, all these pathos reading the 
constitution of the riot police is very beautiful, but naive and frivolous.

This, of course, does not mean that you need to use violence from left to right. Just 
remember that we have an a priori right to self-defense.

In conclusion, it is important to say that during the dispersal, the former deputy 
commander of the Berkut, Sergey Kusyuk, who escaped from Ukraine and was noted for extreme 
cruelty during the suppression of the Maidan, was seen. The Russian authorities are acting 
smartly - taking on the service of those for whom the bridges were burned. He has nowhere 
to run, nowhere to hide. If the regime in the Russian Federation collapses, it and others 
like them will face death or life. Therefore, for this power, he will tear and gnaw his 
teeth to the very end. Accordingly, in order to confront these monsters, we need those who 
are ready to go the same way to the end - but already on the side of good. The conclusion 
is simple: prepare yourself.

Mayhem of power , No "election"! , Event Reports , Protests
Moscow , Russia

The eviction that has taken place today in the XM24 social space in Bologna is only the 
latest episode of repression that demonstrates the common will of government and 
opposition to cancel all the experiences that fight against the transformation of the city 
- and in particular of urban centers - into the city showcase where only those who have 
the money can live and where profit dictates the rhythms of everyday life, tearing every 
social and class bond. The path of XM24 and the large mobilization that has taken place in 
recent months have shown that radicalism and social roots can be combined in a virtuous 
manner by building broad fronts of struggle. The determined and creative resistance of the 
comrades throughout the day and the great solidarity around the area under clearing forced 
the junta to promise a new space by mid-November. It is certainly an important result but 
even more important is that the mobilization continues so that the promises become 
concrete facts: only the direct action carried out daily can lead to real results.

What must also be emphasized on this occasion is that the repression continues to raise 
the bar: evictions of social spaces, increase in penalties for those who during the 
demonstrations defend themselves from state violence, the provision of a specific 
aggravating circumstance for the processions they committed the crime of "threats to the 
political, administrative or judicial body" (which will probably result in the prohibition 
of slogans and banners against the authority and the parties), shameful measures against 
those who save lives in the Mediterranean, more power to the interior minister , new hires 
and funding to the police: this is the scenario of which the approval of the Safety Decree 
Bis is only the last serious piece.
Against all this, every effort must be made to broaden the struggles, jam the repressive 
mechanisms, defend and expand the spaces of freedom.
Faced with an increasingly authoritarian state, we must choose which side we are in, today 
we are with the XM24 and all the experiences of employment and self-management.

Message: 8






In a period in which there are fewer and fewer workers' rights, in which the state becomes 
an accomplice to very serious crimes and boasts of them too, in which fascism, inhumanity 
and racism have become common morals, the occupied spaces remain among the few islands of 
resistance and hope.
Inviting all those who manage to go to the XM24, the USI-CIT National Secretariat 
expresses its utmost solidarity to the XM24 companions and comrades who are resisting the 
eviction decided by the "democratic" municipality of Bologna.
