The increase in gas prices in Iran caused protests across the country ... But even
earlier, the death of the poet Hassan Heydari stirred up people. A flame flared up from a
spark ... ---- Protests have been going on since November 11th. Currently, they have
covered more than 65 cities. People block the tracks, burn portraits of the spiritual
leader (the actual ruler of Iran) Ali Khamenei, chant the slogan "Death to the dictator!".
They also set fire to state-owned banks and other institutions. But it all began not with
rising fuel prices (gasoline and gas), but with the mysterious death of the Arab-Iranian
poet Hassan Kheidari. The death of the poet in the city of Ahvaz (perhaps he was poisoned,
at least the locals declared it) became the spark from which the flame flared up - the
fans of his work, relatives and friends were the first to take to the streets. They
accused the regime of killing Heidari .

But the bulk of the protesters took to the streets as a result of rising fuel prices.
Protests broke out all over Iran after the government unexpectedly announced that it was
rationing gasoline and raising its price. At least two people were killed. Prices rose by
at least 50% on Friday as gas subsidies were cut. Authorities say they want extra money to
help the poor. However, the outrage of the Iranians was very great . Rising fuel prices
will hit the entire population of Iran, leading to higher prices for the transport of
products and other goods, that is, to a jump in prices.

Irna State News Agency reported that there were clashes with police when protesters
attacked a fuel depot and tried to set it on fire. Already appeared dead and wounded. The
protests covered, including the capital of the country, Tehran, as well as Kermanshah,
Isfahan, Tabriz, Karaj, Shiraz, Yazd, Bushehr, Sari and others. The police used weapons.

An important role in everything that happened was played by the American sanctions imposed
by Trump against Iran in 2018. They led to a sharp recession in the Iranian economy,
quadrupling the annual inflation rate, forced foreign investors to flee, caused an
increase in unemployment, and, in the end, caused protests. The unemployment rate in Iran
today reaches 15 percent, but among youth, unemployment can be twice as high.

The outbreak of protests could also have been triggered by events in neighboring Iraq,
where hundreds of thousands of people have been protesting since October 1, demanding work
and the provision of quality public services. As in Iran, the majority of the population
of Iraq are Shia Muslims. The imitation mechanism could work: "They could, but we can not?"

It is interesting that the participants in the events in Iraq put forward as one of the
demands the withdrawal of Iran from their country, primarily its armed forces, and the
refusal to intervene in Iraq. This may seem strange to some, but protesting Iranians
support the same requirements. Iranians do not want to spend billions of dollars in
taxpayer support for pro-Iranian armed militias in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and
Palestine. Therefore, one of the main slogans of the protesters is: "Neither Gaza, nor
Lebanon, I will give my life only for Iran!" This slogan can be regarded as nationalistic,
but at the same time it is anti-war and reflects socio-economic requirements - people want
their money to spend at home on hospitals, schools and cheap housing. For all the
controversy of how this is formulated, this position is deeply thought out. Instead of
imperial fervor, the understanding that money of the poor or the poor should not be spent
on wars in foreign lands.

How likely is it to turn these events into a social revolution? On the one hand, judging
by the slogans of the protesters, it is not very large - they only require lower prices
and the departure of the country's leadership. On the other hand, during the last year's
strikes, according to some reports, part of the workers created at the enterprises
something like Soviets.

A modern analyst writing about the situation in Iran, sympathizing with German-Dutch
communism of workers' councils, Fredo Corvo, notes the following in his notes on the
events of 2018:

" In Iran, strikes by workers at sugar and steel mills attracted attention; videos of mass
rallies appeared... The factories held general strike meetings, as well as street
demonstrations, which were joined by workers from other factories and the unemployed.
There were representatives who were at least tolerated, possibly elected at striker
meetings. The size of both companies - in each case hundreds, perhaps thousands of workers
- created a critical mass that provided protection from repression ... It would be
completely inadequate to dismiss this development ... This spontaneity hides the one-year
process in the working class as a whole, during which workers individually and in thorough
discussions reflected on their own interests in the situation of the economic crisis,
military operations and propaganda of reformist and
fundamentalist[Islamist]factions[regime]. Once in motion, the development of proletarian
consciousness made enormous leaps. The fact that some of the slogans were recognized as
the best expression of the interests of the class can only be explained from this previous
process. In this way, the class actually fuels the positions of small groups from which it
will subsequently produce the party. "

Corvo is an opponent of Leninism. The party here is understood, probably, not as a
centralized organization commanding the workers, but rather as an ideological organized
core of protests fighting for the power of self-governing bodies at enterprises - workers
councils. Corvo is right or not, time will tell. To me his expectations seem overstated.

Mass protests, road blockades and barricade battles marked the movement of the "yellow
vests" in France the first anniversary of its existence. Repeatedly "buried" by the
authorities and the media, it brought about 44 thousand people to the streets of French
cities on November 16. ---- The central events of the day unfolded in Paris, where the
"yellow vests" assigned their supporters two gathering points in the morning: Piazzale
Italy (13th arrondissement) and the gate of Champerre (17th arrondissement). At 10.30, the
participants of the second rally briefly blocked traffic on the Paris Ring Road. Those who
arrived at the march, which was supposed to start at 13.00, went out onto the roadway and
interrupted the movement of cars for several minutes, but were displaced by the riot police.

In the morning, on the square of Italy, a few kilometers from there, protesters began to
gather, among whom there were many Black Block activists in masks and hoods. Already at
10.00 in the adjacent street garbage containers flamed, but firefighters extinguished the
fire. The police began to blow tear gas. Protesters began to erect flaming barricades.
Shortly before midnight, a second burning barricade appeared - nearby, on Oriol Boulevard.
She was also put out.

By noon, the Paris police reported that they had carried out preventive checks against
1,497 people and detained 41 people for interrogation.

With the onset of the afternoon, the square of Italy turned into a battlefield. Protesters
smashed the windows of an HSBC bank in the morning. On Hospital Boulevard, CRS special
forces defended the commissariat from protesters. Demonstrators overturned a police car.
Police surrounded Italy Square and prevented the start of the yellow vest march.

In the meantime, after 13.00, another convoy moved from Champerre in the direction of
Place Clichy. Having reached the Place de la Bastille, the convoy was blocked by the police.

Police and gendarmerie units took up positions around Piazzale Italy. The southern
approach remained open, but the metro station was closed. Barricade fire burned in the
square. Protesters greeted the fire engine with shouts: "Firemen are with us!". There were
many young people with disguised faces in the crowd. A variety of banners were raised
above the protesters: from the Ecological Extinction Renellion to calls for a civil
referendum or portraits of Che Guevara. At 12.30, the HSBC Bank was again attacked.

Police fired tear gas and periodically raided defensive demonstrators. The situation was
becoming increasingly tense.

After 13.00, protesters smashed the entrances and shop windows of the Itali-2 shopping
center; some broke into a closed institution. In streams and clouds of gas, police raided
demonstrators, trying to disperse them. Protesters attacked the Algeco building and
smashed parked cars. Stoned one of the hotels. The area of Italy was shrouded in smoke.
The entrance to the shopping center was completely defeated. Under these conditions, the
prefect of Paris announced a ban on the demonstration, which was scheduled to begin at
14.00 in the direction of Liszt Ferenc Square and the North Station. By 15.52, police
reported 105 detentions for interrogation in Paris and 71 warnings issued in a restricted
area for demonstrations, including the Champs Elysees, where the situation was still calm.

Shortly before 2:00 p.m., the burning barricades again flared. A scooter and two cars were
set on fire, including a city hall truck. Protesters in Italy Square damaged a monument to
Marshal Juan.

After 5.30 p.m., after many hours of battles, the police succeeded in ousting the
protesters from Italy's square with gas and water cannons. Everything was strewn with
stones and all kinds of objects, which were used as projectiles. Dozens of tear gas
capsules were scattered around. The few cars parked in the square were all wrecked.

Having dispersed into small groups, the protesters spilled across Paris, engaging in
clashes with the police. The battlefield was the streets of the central district of the
capital, especially in the Le Al quarter, including inside the shopping gallery. On
Sevastopol Boulevard a flaming barricade grew. During the clashes, the police constantly
blew gas. By 20.00 she reported that 147 people had already been detained for
interrogation, 129 of them were arrested. There are wounded. Dozens of metro stations were
closed.

After dark, the protesters did not go home. Instead of a barricade taken by the police on
Sevastopol Boulevard, a new one was built.

The flavor of rebellion reigned in the streets. Protesters in small groups penetrated the
forbidden Champs Elysees ...

In total, according to police, at the end of the day in Paris, 173 people were captured,
155 of them were left in custody, including 8 children. Authorities accused of ultra-left
riots. "... The Yellow Vest movement has been infected for several months now with ultra
people who believe that political violence is legitimate," a government spokeswoman said.
It is as if the authorities are listening to the protests when they remain purely peaceful!!

Thousands of people came out on November 16 to protest the "yellow vests" in Toulouse. The
demonstration was many times more numerous than on previous Saturdays. The column was
quickly dispersed by police using gas and water cannons. Protesters responded with stones
and other objects. Having broken up into small groups, the demonstrators continued their
protests in the city streets. Earlier in the morning, "yellow vests" also went on the
highway and roads around the city. Police reported 17 detentions.

In Nantes, a demonstration in the historic center of the city grew at around 4 p.m. into
clashes with the police. Protesters marched from 50 hostage avenue to the prefecture,
chanting slogans against "social stratification." The city center was filled with tear
gas, which the police let out. Protesters threw stones at her, broke the windows of bus
stops and tried to break into the entrance to the prefecture. A barricade of building
panels was erected near the castle. On the wall of the prefecture they wrote "Less chains
- more oaks!"

In Lyon, protesters gathered in the very center of the city in an atmosphere quickly
filled with tear gas, as in other cities in the region, such as Dijon and Saint-Etienne.
Despite the ban, the demonstrators arrived at 13:00 in Bellecour Square. Moving first to
the edge of the square, they then headed for the bridge leading to the Guillotier quarter,
and this busy area was soon flooded with gas. The police tried to disperse the protesters,
and they bombarded her with various objects. Later, the demonstrators returned to
Bellecour Square, where the script was repeated several times. In Saint-Etienne, hundreds
of people held a demonstration, but were unable to get into the city center, which was
blocked by the police.

In Montpellier, protesters during the march attacked the office of the deputy from the
ruling party, breaking glass and writing down the building with anarchist slogans. As you
walk through the city, tension grew. As a result of clashes, 2 police were injured. 6
people were captured by the police.

Clashes with police broke out in Bordeaux halfway through a demonstration when protesters
(some of them masked) tried to knock over barriers and break into Pey-Berlan Square, where
battles took place last year. On the street of Saint-Catherine, an exchange of police
attacks and gas, on the one hand, and a hail of stones and various objects, on the other,
followed. Until the evening, clashes with the police continued between Garonne and
Victoire. At least 2 people were arrested.

Demonstrations and other actions took place across the country. In the south-east of the
country, "yellow vests" reached the roundabouts in the morning, handing out leaflets to
passing cars. The same was observed in the southwest, with small demonstrations in Albi,
Tarn, Osh and Jer. Protesters are also located at road junctions in Normandy (Caen and
Rouen) and Brittany (especially in Bath). Lille hosted a major rally for "social, tax, and
climate justice." In Grenoble, the "yellow vests" were shown together with the unions. A
major demonstration took place in Marseille ...

On Sunday, November 17, protests by the "yellow vests" continued. Authorities have taken
special security measures; thousands of police and gendarmes were ready. 10 metro stations
were closed (the day before - 23). Despite this, in Paris about 200 protesters gathered in
the morning on a square near Le Al, in the heart of the capital. "Macron destroys France
and your rights, do not criticize us. We are here for you," one could read on the banner.
Protesters chanted "We are here, we are here, even if Macron does not want to." "Today we
organized this new day because it is a jubilee weekend. We hope to reap the fruits of what
we sowed," one of the organizers of the action explained.

In the early hours of the afternoon, a group of protesters calling on social networks to
block Sunday activities in "consumer churches" briefly captured a part of the Lafayette
Gallery luxury shopping center, which they called the "symbol of consumerism." Expelled by
the police, they staged a sit-in protest right on the pavement in front of the building.
The police made arrests. But the building was evacuated.

Late afternoon, the former Flash d`or concert hall was closed and evacuated. On the eve of
the "yellow vests" they opened the "People's House" there, but now the police drove them
out. 17 people were arrested.

In the middle of the day in Paris, 20 people were already detained after 639 preventive
acts of control.

In Pont de Beauvoisin near Chambery in Savoy, the "yellow vests" made a moment of silence
in memory of the Chantal Maze, who died a year ago on the first day of the protests of the
movement.

New actions took place at intersections and road junctions. In the Bush du Rhone
department, protesters gathered on Sunday at the La Ciotat junction. Near Aubagne, a
collection point of Pont de L'Etoile was captured , but later protesters were expelled by
the police.

In Le Mans, a dozen yellow vests, which kept their "strong point" at the roundabout for a
year, spent the night from Saturday to Sunday, sitting on benches or campsites, around a
wood-burning fire protected by a tarp under the inscription: "For a year, nothing changed."

"Yesterday we turned fifty. Today there are not many yellow vests on the dashboards, but
80% of motorists signal their support," said the 52-year-old unemployed Charles. we can
live, eat, and sometimes even warm ourselves, "explains Charles, for whom 17 billion euros
in the form of assistance and tax cuts announced by the government does not change much.

As new social protests arise, the French government is slowing down reform, Le Figaro
writes. Authorities are hindering reforms amid unrest among hospital staff, students,
firefighters, police, tax officials, and those who disagree with pension reform.

One of the ministers fears the occurrence of a " crazy merger: the" black bloc ", the
extreme left, the radical" yellow vests "and the already traditional workers of the
railway company and the Paris transport - even more industries are unhappy, like the
police ." However, the adviser to the prime minister has a more restrained point of view:
" An explosion of discontent has been foreshadowed for two years, but it has not happened.
Are workers going to march in defense of special regimes for employees of Parisian
transport? Wait and see . "

However, as the French newspaper notes, social polls are beginning to worry some members
of the government. " There is no" shirakizatsii ", this option is not considered " , -
emphasizes the same state adviser.

According to Le Figaro, in order to prepare for protests against pension reform, the
government sent an instruction: " From this day until December 5, show that you are open
and make concessions ." In other words, the article explains, the ministers are urged to
increase the number of discussions and pay more attention so that when the real
confrontation begins, people do not think that the government is in principle. As one
politician notes, " this strike can become difficult, " and therefore we must try to win
the battle in the media, recalling that 46% of the French do not want the yellow vests
back, or explaining that the railroad wants to take revenge after the SNCF reform in 2018
year.

At the same time, it is urgent to reduce conflicts across sectors, the publication
emphasizes. Secretary of State Gabriel Attal met with student unions, Minister of Health
Agnes Buzin is working on the answers for the " contingency plan " announced by Macron. "
I heard the anger and indignation of " medical workers " in connection with the sometimes
unbearable working conditions, " the French president said during his trip to the east of
the country.

As for pensions, the government wants to vote for the general idea in the main law, and
then discuss transitional stages for some sectors. There are those in the government who
regret that the president mentioned the point so early that reform could be delayed for
many years.

In this electrified period, all eyes turn to Macron. "The head of state knows well that in
the end everything depends on him ," Le Figaro quotes a commentary of his close associate.
- He accepts it without fear. The only time he was afraid - it is after the looting of the
Arc de Triomphe . " What happened just in December, the newspaper recalls

In our previous report we left the university occupation strike no Thursday, November 14
in the evening. Although it was originally supposed to take place only on 12 and 13
November, it continued in the following days after the vestibule of the Rectorate of
Charles University. ---- Wednesday's meeting with Rector Zima convinced those present that
it was necessary to continue with undiminished efforts. "The climate crisis is a problem
that every university must solve immediately. Rector Winter, however, proved to be
absolutely incompetent to run Charles University at this critical time. We demand that the
Rector Winter resign immediately and that the new Rector take the issue of the climate
crisis to be absolutely essential, "insisted on their students without forgiving a little
gender doubt. ---- Students, albeit in limited numbers, persisted all the time in the
vestibule of the Rectorate.

The resignation of the Quaestor of Charles University and the statement of the Rector
Zima, who invented that during his meeting with students, someone threw a stone at him and
did not hesitate to present this gibberish in the media, caused a slight stir.

The strikers prepared a rich program for the weekend. On Saturday they heard lectures on
games and their rules, about the Polish student movement at present, about the housing
crisis or about the legacy of the Czech dissent. In addition, they could see the
documentary Czech Way on Privatization and discuss it with its author Martin Kohout.
Furthermore, a synthetic music workshop was announced.

In the evening, near the Rectorate, Prime Minister Babiš, who was just leaving the
theater, was able to reach him and asked him questions about carbon neutrality. He
responded evidently annoyed, and promised carbon neutrality by 2050 in order to show
himself in nice light, which he liked. But he did not respond to the remark that September
was long ago.

The Sunday program included a videoworkshop, a lecture entitled Transport in the City
during the Climate Crisis, a discussion with the visual artist Epos 257, a lecture by
Václav Janošcík, a documentary by Vladimír Turner with a follow-up discussion and a bit
lively (North Platform).

Monday, after a joint picnic, was dedicated, among other things, to the Emotional
Assistance and Plenum Workshop with representatives of the Academic Senate and the
university management. After negotiation, the students decided to end the weekly
occupation strike. In a subsequent confirmed resolution of the Presidium of the AS AS, it
was stated that "it takes seriously the climate requirements presented by the University's
Climate Initiative and urges the UK management to take an initiative in their
implementation". However, students continue to demand that Rector Winter resign.

The program scheduled for Tuesday eventually moved to other places. In the early evening,
the Gallery of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague hosted a debate
entitled Student Protests ever since, with the participation of Martin C. Putna, Marta
Harasimowicz from the former Initiative for Free Colleges, representatives of the
University Climate and Fridays For Future Czech Republic. Action training at Ende Gelände
again moved to Holešovice Bike_Jesus.

The rich program of lectures and occupation over the weekend easily took wind from sails
to opportunists who, with ease of their own, mockingly criticize students that they just
want to get out of class. The perseverance of the students participating in the strike
must be acknowledged. Despite the two-day scope announced in advance, they persisted in
the occupation strike for seven days. Well chosen the timing of the event around the
anniversary of 17 November. Police intervention against students would be considerably
counterproductive for Rector Zima, who, with the hidden support of the richest Czech, has
his own presidential ambitions. From an anarchist perspective, we must commend the
anti-authoritarian way of self-organization and decision-making by the participants in the
occupation strike. The practice of collective decision-making, the pursuit of consensus,
the absence of a hierarchy, direct action - all this is the legacy of a wider
anti-authoritarian movement, which spilled over much of today's climate justice movement.
The current representative system, which in practice only preserves the capitalist
organization of society, has been questioned. As the students said in their statement: "We
want to learn to take the initiative. We want to learn to reject helplessness and
passivity. We also want to learn to challenge the way our society works and the choices
our political leaders make. his most loyal. They thus fulfill one of the slogans of the
French Revolt of 1968, which appeared on one of the banners posted on the Rectorate: "Be
realistic, ask the impossible". Hopefully the action will be an incentive to to get more
college students involved in other cities. Students from Olomouc, for example, expressed
their support for the Prague strike and an open plenum of the Universities for Climate in
Brno was called for Monday 18 November. Just a thicket.

In the racist attack on a Kuwaiti-born pupil by extramarital fascists on 6/11, there was
an immediate anti-fascist reaction. The fascists terrorized and threatened the student not
to go back to school and stabbed him with a knife. This is the second reported attack in
Naples, where 9 months ago, on February 19, fascists attacked with a Molotov cocktail bomb
at a house where a family of Iraqi immigrants lived. ---- The following day, Thursday 7/11
at 6pm on the clock in Naples (Peace Square), a microphone and solidarity from various
collectives of the anarchist / antisocial area of the city were called. At the gathering,
texts were distributed, tricks were thrown, banners were hung and slogans were heard,
followed by a reflective neighborhood march with the participation of about 200 people.
The course went through the incident school and the other schools in the area and ended up
back in the Neapolis clock. Many anti-fascist and solidarity slogans were written in the
course of the immigrants' slogans.

On 8/11 in the same place, at 18:00 a march was called by neighborhood assemblies,
teachers' associations, parents, students, student associations as well as anarchist /
antiauthoritarian associations and organizations on the left. The march had over 800
people with a very strong pulse and moved on the straits of Naples and its main streets.
The block of the West End Open Assembly supported by the collectives: the Thessaloniki
Freedom Initiative, the Anarchists Collective from the East, Terra Incognita, and the Stop
War on Migrants Assembly - in its own way - intervened in turn. Weaving. The block,
supported by many more neighborhoods and wider western neighborhoods, had more than 300
people. The Anarchist Student Assembly of Ataxia also had a block on the way. Along the
way, tricks were thrown, texts were distributed, slogans were written, and the response
from the crowd was mostly positive, with enough people to greet from the balconies. In
particular, the response of immigrants residing in Naples was particularly warm.

With the reflexes and the mass of the two days we send a clear message in every direction.
To the west of the refugee, as well as in every neighborhood, the only ones who do not fit
are fascists and racists. No attack will go unanswered.

WE LIVE TOGETHER, WE WORK TOGETHER
LOCAL - MIGRANTS

Open Western District Convention, Free School Social Area, Thessaloniki Freedom
Initiative, Anarchists Collective from the East , Terra Incognita

PS As we have come to realize in the aftermath, a banner of young Syriza was opened during
the course. So let's let them know that some and some do not forget the anti-immigration
policies that their party was in power until just a few months ago. We would suggest them
to think twice next time before they show up without a shame in kinetic encounters, as the
next time we will make sure to catch them in time.

Once again ‘election fever' is upon us. Manifestos festoon the medias with ‘promises,
promises and more promises'. The drudgery of politicians scoring points of view over each
others ‘opponents' is numbingly similar to watching a ‘soap opera'. Just a quick look at
some of these ‘promises'[manifestos]from previous elections reveals but lies, lies and
more lies. Real change only truly shows itself in terms of how business conducts itself or
how absolutely the country is doing within the world trading markets. For most of the
citizenry are in total servitude to money and capitalist philosophy which has dominated
politics the last two or three hundred years or so. The ‘sham' of elections does not
change the huge disconnect between the ‘X' on a ballot paper and real struggles people
face every day under the huge burden that is ‘Capitalism'.

Election Time Again
We imagine most of the general public are sick to the back teeth of politicians as the
never-ending Brexit drama has trawled through our lives like demented fishermen. Not only
are people tired of watching Parliament's inability to solve anything, they are now being
asked to vote for candidates whose messages are under constant attack from various media
sources, who should people believe in.

We are anarchist communists, so we don't believe in any of them! We don't believe that any
candidate can actually reverse the situation in the UK as it is today, because there are
global forces at work that hold as much sway as the local power of any government.

Here's two good reasons why voting changes nothing: (1) No matter who you vote for this
doesn't change your economic relationship to the State, regardless of who gets in, our
guess is you'll still be paying roughly the same amount of tax. (2) No matter who gets
into power, this will not change the currently existing centres of private power that have
a huge influence in the UK and beyond. Do you think Exxon Mobile or Starbucks are going to
suddenly pay the right amount of tax with a ‘Labour' victory?

Under the present System you will remain a Wage Slave, having to rent your body to some
kind Master that will pay you a pittance of what you're worth...

One of the worst things about this General Election is how the already noxious Main Stream
Media (MSM) goes into overdrive and uses its considerable resources to attack its enemies
without a whimper of protest from lickspittle organisations like the BBC. We don't agree
with Corbyn's politics, but we do believe he's genuine in what he says and does. As a
state socialist this stance terrifies the Establishment, and already we have seen
considerable energy put into branding him everything from an anti-Semite to a terrorist
sympathiser. When you read into the detail of Labour's plans, especially their economic
policy, it looks plausible, but to actually do what they are planning automatically puts
them into conflict with Big Business, and we all know how that tends to play out.
Parliamentary politics is unable to solve Capitalism's problems, unfortunately most people
in the UK that would agree with this statement become angry then apathetic at the lack of
a cogent alternative.

This election is also a massive distraction from the many crimes being perpetuated by the
UK government and its allies like the US government. Whilst the public are crucified with
the various Brexit disaster scenarios, the UK continues to sell arms to countries like
Saudi Arabia to the tune of billions of pounds (could fix the NHS quite quickly with some
of that dosh) whilst also developing closer ‘security' and other diplomatic ties. New
military base in Oman did you say? No, we didn't hear about that! The US government fixing
it so that Assange is extradited speedily from these shores? Nah, the MSM doesn't seem to
cover stories like that. What about the Yellow Vest movement in France? Haven't those
massive protests been going for over a year now? Nope, that's definitely not newsworthy
here in the UK, too close to home! People might get the wrong idea... Here's some footage
from Hong Kong though, we don't like China so we'll show you how bad they are instead.

The MSM will also neglect to do ANY serious journalism on the huge numbers of people that
don't vote. Who are they? What are their views? What kind of political structures would
they like to see? We now live in a world that uses technology to compete for our time, our
minds. We are so alone as human beings in the UK these days, despite having access to
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. People seem to be more interested in creating an online
persona whilst watching the latest shows on Netflix than getting involved in some
grassroots local campaign, and there's such urgent need.

So while we gear up for a month of campaigning by these people, not only will we have that
crap to contend with but the commercial spectacle that is ‘Xmas' and all the Capitalist
Greed it induces too. As a species, we need to learn how to switch off these powerful
streams of information and distraction. We need to stop and give ourselves some time to
think about what this all means. What's tantalising is that the levers of real social
change are directly at our collective fingertips, they are totally within reach.

How? How do we change things in a way that our elected representatives can't?
By getting back out into the real world! By engaging with our fellow human beings on the
streets, in cafes, at protests, local community group meetings, helping the unemployed,
the homeless, the destitute. The insidious nature of Capitalism never sleeps, never rests.
It is driven by selfish uncaring minds that, as you read this, are designing the next wave
of defensive architecture in your town. They are making bus shelters a thing of the past.
They are urging jobcentre staff to sanction people to ‘keep costs down'. They are
designing propaganda to make you suspicious of your neighbour, to despise the foreigner
that is coming to the UK to ‘steal your job', or is it to ‘sponge' off the State, we can
never quite remember that one.

When we look back through history and engage it with a critical eye, then we see that it
isn't politicians that change our lives for the better, it's ordinary people coming
together to engage in struggle against oppression. To fight back against rogue landlords,
to campaign against local community centres being shut down, to protest at toxic wealth
inequality whilst the porches drive the rich to their gated communities as the homeless
starve and die silently on our streets.

Anarchist communism has never claimed to have all the answers, but we do have a fair idea
about where to start.

In our heads and in our hearts.

When we stop being distracted and take notice of what's happening around us, our humanity
comes to the fore and we act, with courage and compassion. Don't select new Masters in
this 2019 election, try challenging yourself instead!

The current transport system is based on the car and road-building culture. This is one of
the key causes of climate change and pollution, both air and noise. Meanwhile, the public
transport system is overcrowded and expensive in cities and non-existent in rural areas.
With housing increasing in price in the centre of urban areas, people are forced to move
further and further out and end up paying a large portion of their wages and time just to
get to work. And, there is continual pressure to undermine the working conditions and
safety concerns of transport workers.
Join us for a discussion of these issues and help develop a campaign for free public
transport for all, building a united movement of workers and users.

The roots and principles of anarchosyndicalism are worth revisiting for the practice of
worker education in movements inspired by these principles and traditions. Emphasising the
democratic practice, working class rooted, organic and critical nature of the pedagogy,
the practice seeks to intersect employed and unemployed women and men. Practically, the
education provides a platform for post-revolutionary practice of direct democracy at the
point of production and, thus, naturally included practical skills such as trades,
accounting and sciences. ---- Education for revolution: Anarcho-syndicalist pedagogy for
South Africa by Mandy Moussouris and Shawn Hattingh ---- From: South African Labour
Bulletin, volume 43, number 1, pp. 17-19.

ANARCHO-syndicalism was, and is, similar to other socialist movements including Bolshevism
- in that at its heart it aims for the working class to overthrow capitalism.[1]It,
however, also differs from other socialist movements. From the beginning
anarcho-syndicalism also aimed to end all other forms of oppression through revolution,
including religion, the state, patriarchy and racism.

The main difference between anarchists and other socialists/ Marxists was and is that
anarchists are opposed to all forms of states, even ones that have labelled themselves
socialist.Anarchist analysis sees the state system as a hierarchical structure that by its
nature is designed for a minority (the ruling class) to rule over a majority. For
anarchists, history has shown that wherever a state exists there has never been freedom
and equality. Even in the Soviet Union and African socialism, an elite political class
emerged in these states as a result of their innate hierarchical structure, which
necessarily centralises power, and those with power became the ruling class which
continued to rule over and exploit workers, peasants and the unemployed. These societies
were not socialist but state capitalist.

Anarchists argue that true equality and a communist society was not achieved in such cases
because the state was not destroyed. For anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists the working
class must liberate itself by not only defeating capitalism, but also ending the state
system and indeed all forms of coercive and hierarchical social structures. Only once this
has been achieved will all be able to equally participate in a free and equal society - a
society based on grass-root, participatory democracy or self-governance from below.

For anarcho-syndicalists the revolutionary union (based on direct democracy with workplace
committees and councils as the base where power resides) were and are seen as the
revolutionary vehicles for the self-liberation of the working class.

Anarcho- syndicalists reject the idea that political parties are revolutionary precisely
because they mimic the state form and are at best based on representative democracy, which
does not break down the power differences between the leaders and the led. Thus, at the
heart of anarcho-syndicalism is the view that the working class, through revolutionary
unions (or similar working-class formations), can and will undertake a revolutionary
struggle against the state and capitalism. The aim of this revolution was to socialise the
means of production and wealth and to run companies and the entire economy on the basis of
worker self-management to meet the needs of all. Community and worker councils would be
federated to plan the economy based on direct democracy. Federated community councils
would replace the state and allow for direct democracy and freedom to be practised
throughout society.

ANARCHO-SYNDICALISM AND THE IMPORTANCE OF WORKING-CLASS SELF-EDUCATION
As part of workers and the broader working class defending their interests against
capitalists, landlords and the state - and to prepare for both the revolution and the
subsequent running of a communist society based on direct democracy - anarcho-syndicalist
unions had massive education programmes amongst workers and within working-class communities.

Importantly, most worker-education initiatives across the globe at the height of the
anarchist-syndicalist union movement between 1900 and 1930 were rooted in the community
and focused on the education of all, including children. Ferrer's school in Spain, the
Modern School in New York, initiatives in Cuba and Mexico were all classic examples of
worker-led education grounded in communities and focusing beyond the education of the
employed (at the time mainly men) to education of all.

As part of mass working-class education, distribution of written material was seen as
vital by anarcho-syndicalist unions.The CNT in Spain ran numerous daily newspapers and a
number of periodicals. One of its newspapers, Solidaridad Obrera, was the biggest in Spain
in the mid-1930s and had a daily circulation of 200,000. These periodicals and newspapers
carried articles ranging from the news to theoretical pieces based on working-class and
anarchist perspectives and analyses.

Central to anarchist education were also spaces in which workers and the unemployed
(anarcho- syndicalist unions organised both those with jobs and those without) could
debate, discuss and develop analyses of society and the root causes of oppression and how
to overcome these. Militants of CNT, for instance, ran hundreds of educational and
cultural centres - called ateneos or anarchist meeting houses - across working-class areas
in Spain.These were centres where activists held discussions, courses and debates and were
defined by a democratic form of self-education. The importance of these cultural and
educational centres is difficult to overstate for the working class in Spain between 1900
and 1937.

They provided the building blocks for organised community politics, where education and
discussion were viewed as essential for the development of free people who would be
capable of taking on the building of a new society according to anarchist principles.The
ateneos signified a unique space where local people could come together to solve problems
and broaden their horizons.

The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), founded in 1905, initially with ties to both
the socialist and anarchist labour movements, had similar spaces of democratic and
revolutionary self- education in the form of union halls and more informal self-education
sessions called ‘hobo jungles' in the countries it organised, including in the United
States of America, Britain, South Africa and Australia. These served as forums for
learning, critical reflection, and debate, particularly through the first three decades of
the twentieth century. The hobo jungles served a similar function as the union hall in
terms of being subversive and self- educational spaces, which migrant workers used to
educate themselves about capitalism, the role of the state, and the ideology and practices
of revolutionary syndicalism.

Within many of the anarcho- syndicalist unions, women members sometimes formed their own
federations and women's groups. For example, in Mexico in 1922, the Federation of
Libertarian Women was formed to fight evictions and defend the interests of domestic
workers in Veracruz. Self-education, based on a form of anti-state and anti-capitalist
feminism, was central to the Federation of Libertarian Women.

Culture was another key educational tool within anarcho- syndicalist unions. Many anarcho-
syndicalist unions had drama groups, which were used to highlight issues facing the
working class, to build class consciousness and to promote solidarity. Such activities
were intended to further a working-class counter-culture. Songs were also important
educational tools.The IWW, for instance, has its own song book; one of its key members was
the legendary Joe Hill who wrote and performed many songs which were aimed at building and
celebrating a working-class counter-culture. Some of the songs and slogans of the IWW are
still used by unions today. Solidarity Forever, for example, was composed by the IWW and
the slogan an "Injury to one is an injury to all" was an IWW slogan that succinctly
defined what working- class solidarity should be in a few words.

BUILDING A NEW WORLD WITHIN THE SHELL OF THE OLD
For the anarcho-syndicalist unions, workers' education had to be the antithesis of the
education that that was offered by capitalist and state systems.The working class needed
to contest the monopoly the state and capitalism had over education and do so in a way
that was democratic and did not contain any of the oppressive pedagogy of state, religious
and capitalist schools.Without the working class developing its own education that was in
its own class interests, revolution would not and could not be possible. Such education
had to develop revolutionary class consciousness, it had to unmask the enemy in terms of
the capitalist and state systems, and it had to build self- organisation but, most
importantly, it had to do so in new and different ways. Anarchist education had to reflect
the principles of participatory democracy envisaged for and essential to the new society.

Using democratic, participatory learning, another key component of anarchist education was
to prepare the working class to run a post- revolutionary libertarian-communist society
based on worker self- management and direct democracy without a state. Skills development-
including very practical skills such as trades, accounting, and ciences- were therefore a
key component of education in anarcho- syndicalist unions and this form of skills
development was seen as revolutionary in itself.

Anarchist education is necessarily non-hierarchical and based on attempting to break down
the culture of ‘great leaders' to engender a genuine egalitarianism and support critical
thinking amongst workers and the broader working class, which was seen as a prerequisite
for any genuine revolution.As the Italian anarchist Enrico Malatesta put it: "only those
that wish to dominate prefer sheep, the better to lead them. We prefer intelligent
workers, even if they are our opponents, to anarchists who are such only in order to
follow us like sheep.We want freedom for everybody; we want the masses to make the
revolution for the masses. The person who thinks with their own brain is to be preferred
to one who blindly approves everything. Better an error consciously committed and in good
faith, than a good act performed in a servile manner."

THE LEGACY OF ANARCHIST/ SYNDICALIST EDUCATION
Anarcho-syndicalist unions, such as the CNT and IWW, continue to exist today and still
practise non- hierarchical education with the aim of building class consciousness,
working-class counter-culture and counter-power.

Although the anarcho-syndicalist unions have declined, new movements - including those
that are undertaking the Kurdish liberation struggle - have become influenced by anarchism
since the 2000s. Like the anarcho-syndicalist unions they conduct anti-hierarchical
revolutionary self-education with the aim of furthering critical thinking amongst
activists.This pedagogy has made a massive contribution to the current experiment underway
in Rojava in Northern Syria to create a new stateless society based on libertarian
socialism and feminism. The reality is that because anarchist education was born in the
struggle of the oppressed, it continues to have relevance and is at the heart of the
struggle for a new equal society today in places such as Rojava.

ZSP - ZW Warsaw would like to express its solidarity with the working class in Chile,
which has massively taken to the streets. In Chile, as in many other countries around the
world, the working class is feeling the effects of capitalist social relations on a daily
basis and has said enough. When people take to the streets in mass, state institutions try
to pacify protests, but sometimes protesters do not give up and engage openly in the fight
against the authorities. In this situation, fending off attacks requires good
organization. But also the need for daily work, self-organization and mutual assistance
that will help build another society based on the principles of freedom and social
equality. ---- We also strive to create such a society without economic or social
hierarchy. We wish our colleagues in Chile good luck in the fight and self-organization.
Capitalism and the state are our common enemies, no matter where we live. Against
repression and misery, solidarity is our weapon!

In the twilight of our decade, a decade shattered by the Arab Spring uprisings spreading
dominoes from Tunisia and Egypt to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, a piece of the planet is once
again in the flames of Galerie: , Hong Kong, Catalonia, Ecuador, Haiti, Chile... With
different social backgrounds, with different social demands, with huge kilometers of
distance between them, oppressed populations raise the banner of the uprising, occupy
roads, questionable they are the class that oppresses them, they are promoting social
normality. Above all, however, they prove that the stability of all kinds of sovereign
models of government is fragile and requires large doses of overt state violence and
terrorism to enforce. Whether it is selfish movements with all their individual tendencies
and contradictions (Catalonia, Hong Kong), either mass outbursts against total poverty
(Haiti), or a cry of protest against state corruption (Lebanon), or an end to one launched
against the imposition of measures on a neoliberal agenda (France, Ecuador, Chile) is the
wave of a widespread challenge to modern conditions of oppression beginning and spreading
across the world without anyone knowing or being able to say where erupt tomorrow next
social rebellion case and what occasion would find to manifest.

We, through our own side and through all this vast and diverse mosaic of revolts and
social aberrations, feel the social rebellion that is unfolding in Chile closer to our
own. Greece is a country that, like Chile, has in its very recent past been overshadowed
by the harsh military dictatorship that, like Chile, has had the distinct support and
assistance of its most important NATO partner, the US. Greece has undergone the transition
to the new era through a twenty-year period of social democratic management of power that
has partially changed the terms of the social contract in many areas by providing the
security necessary for the regime. But a treaty that was beginning to change already in
the mid-1990s with the wave of modernization reforms and which was supposed to end with
the country becoming subject to IMF supervision in 2010, where it was experimented with by
imposing harsh neo-liberal measures Europe on the resilience of a population to such
reforms. Chile, on the other hand, has been the corresponding guinea pig in Latin America
since the dictatorship, a treaty that continued with the transition to bourgeois democracy
with neoliberal measures to intensify its own transitional period even today.

Both countries have a long history of opposition and resistance movements that have the
character of armed confrontation, and in both cases after the end of dictatorships, strong
and very dynamic anarchist movements have developed a variety of tendencies and forms of
action, as well as their own cost of fighting, are measured in the dead and in a host of
political prisoners. In both countries, anarchist movements are at the forefront of social
competition, consistently being the main internal enemy, but also present in any broader
mobilization of social groups such as pupils, students, workers, etc.

In addition, the outbreak of this particular uprising in Chile in which the anarchist
banners are clearly and distinctly worn, with the character it took and the intensity and
extent with which it manifested, reminds us of our not too distant December 2008 where the
uprising here is. It shook the domestic system of domination and oppression with the
anarchist movement again starring developments. In both cases, although the initial causes
were very specific (the rise in the price of MMMs in Chile and the murderous police
violence and repression in Greece) very soon the uprisings raised a more general challenge
to the social contract. In both cases beyond the hatred of the police and the political
and economic elites, urban tissue infrastructures (and anything that demonstrates the
presence of a central authority in the metropolises) have become a target, temples of
consumption and of goods have been plundered. So these are the pictures we see of Chile
that bring to mind pictures of the rebellious metropolitan landscape of Athens and the
rioting streets of December 2008 where, as now and then in Chile, then, in Athens,
students were at the forefront of demonstrations and attacks. against assassins, throwing
stones at police stations, turning patrols, occupying their schools, descending the
streets behind flaming barricades. These are the moments when young people with a thirst
for life decide to claim their place in history by overturning facts,

These are all common denominators we recognize in these two uprisings. Those who make us
believe that international solidarity in the Chilean uprising makes sense through its
connection with the December 2008 uprising in Greece, makes sense in our attempt to
transmit the Chilean uprising into our own territories. sharing facts and experiences with
students, analyzing common situations, identifying differences and differences.

It is also an opportunity to look for ways to respond effectively to sweeping repressive
attacks on our territories, to organize our militant resistance, to send messages of
struggle and solidarity, to stand with dignity against the barbarism of our times.

Chile's insurgents are currently facing a full range of state crackdowns on the streets,
with the exception of police machine guns and tear gas, President Piniera decides to put
the city of Santiago in an emergency by sending tanks to the streets. and applying the
no-night traffic measure. It is the first time since the fall of the Pinochet dictatorship
in Chile that the army is taking to the streets to suppress the demonstrators, and at the
moment we are talking there are thousands of arrests and at least 23 dead (sources cited
above), 4 of them some of which were fired by cops while others were pressed by army vehicles.

One of the central slogans heard on the streets of Chile is that "the insurrection in
Chile is not for 30 pesos, but for 30 years". Wanting to show that the cause of the
uprising may have been the rise in ticket prices but the causes and reasons are in the
system itself whose underlying features have not changed since the fall of the Pinochet
dictatorship.

Chile during the dictatorship was - in addition to one of the most repressive states on
the planet "civil liberties" - an experimental animal state upon which the most extreme
neoliberal economic reforms were implemented. Everything has been privatized (with the
pinnacle of insurance), tough measures of fiscal stability have been applied to IMF
standards resulting in a violent redistribution of income for the wealthy and powerful,
the intensification of class opposition, cuts in public spending, and cuts in public
spending. All this with the good co-operation of a group of technocratic economists (the
so-called Chicago School) who, exploiting the iron fist of dictatorship, sought to impose
the utterly capitalist paradise in Chile.

Our reference to the years of the Pinochet dictatorship is not accidental. If one wants to
look for the causes behind the Chilean uprising, one can look at the reality of the poor
and the excluded. Despite the transition to bourgeois democracy and the apparent liberties
it offers, the core of the economic policy adopted by Pinochet remained unchanged, and it
is a common finding that the Pinochet regime has direct links with the Pinochet
dictatorship. The key sectors of the economy are all in private hands, the Insurance
Pinoset (which the ND government in Greece wants to apply) which requires every employee
to pay 10% of their salary to 6 insurance monopolies. still, 54% of the population is paid
an average of 440 Euros per month out of which they have to pay 1/6 for their movements to
and from the slave laborers. All this while all the indicators present Chile as one of the
richest countries in Latin America with 2% inflation and "growth" expected to reach 2.5%
of GDP. Another example is that the growth indices of the states are nothing but the
indicators of the profitability of capital and have little impact on their lives from the
bottom up, which is constantly underestimated by the dictates of modern economic
dictatorship. All this while all the indicators present Chile as one of the richest
countries in Latin America with 2% inflation and "growth" expected to reach 2.5% of GDP.

In addition to the reasons we have mentioned, we must not forget the powerful Chilean
anarchist movement. Anarchist groups, squatters, guerrilla organizations, dozens of
political prisoners in prisons, interconnecting with Earth struggles (in particular with
the Mapuche) and more. They create a positive ground in which the struggle has become a
part of a protest against increases in ticket prices in a general uprising against the
oppressive Pinier regime and the rotten capitalist values in general. In short, today's
uprising events did not happen all of a sudden, rather they are tripping over dozens of
moments of rebellion in the past. The widespread clashes against the Pinier education
reform in 2011. In the frequent clashes between anarchists and youth with the forces of
repression outside the universities. In the dozens of direct-action attacks. In the armed
expropriations of the temples of capital by anarchist comrades. Hunger strikes by decent
captives in Chilean Hellas. In Mapuche's struggles for land and freedom against state and
multinational corporations that shake their land. In the militant demonstrations of all
previous years. So the organization, the conflicts, the infrastructure, and most
importantly the militancy and the determination to keep "the flame on" create the right
ground for the great insurrection events we all want. Hunger strikes by decent captives in

As anarchist fighters, we actively support the struggles of the oppressed all over the
world, especially in a country like Chile where there is a strong and militant anarchist
movement (in the face of alternative and right-wing unfortunately prevailing in the
movement in other countries) and we do so. a model for solidarity between those who fight
against the states, power and capitalism. To link the thread that unites insurgent Chile
with anarchist resistance in our own territories. One should not forget that one of the
greatest dangers of the insurgency is the non-internationalization of resistance and its
passage into oblivion. Let's not allow it.

Let us link the uprisings of yesterday with those of today.

Fighting solidarity with those who are on the streets of resistance, arming their desires,
raising their stature against states and capitalism.
