The Argentinean social movement is constantly traversed by debates and divisions on tactics to adopt. The latest example is a split within
the federation of grassroots organizations in the context of a presidential election campaign. The autonomous FOB, which participates at
this time in a tour of meetings in France organized by the UCL, intends to maintain the independence of class. ---- After nearly two years
of internal discussions, the Federation of Basic Organizations (FOB) split in two. In October, a party decided to join the Confederation of
Workers of the People's Economy (CTEP), a coordination of piqueteras organizations  [1]with a Peronist majority, with, in its ranks,
cooperatives, collective work or workers and workers in the so-called popular or informal economy, most of whom are recipients of state
social programs. The TRP wants to be recognized institutionally by the state as a trade union and thus request its integration into the CGT,
the largest Argentine union, vertical, bureaucratic and quasi-mafia.

The FOB-CTEP deems it necessary to unite with the big piqueteras organizations (representing about 90% of the piqueterxes) to participate in
a balance of force, allowing to weigh on the public policies. It considers that this alliance concerns only the question of claim, that is
to say, to obtain resources from the State, but that it does not call into question the historical principles of the FOB with regard to its
political orientation. .

The FOB of Buenos Aires, on the contrary, thinks that the question of protest goes hand in hand with the political question insisting that
joining a union led by Peronists is tantamount to losing its autonomy and political independence. The PRT also supported the successful
Peronist candidate Alberto Fernandez in the October 27 presidential election, and there is a high probability that some of its leaders will
join the Ministry of Social Affairs. Finally, one of the leaders of the CTEP is the "   unofficial voice of the Vatican in Argentine social
affairs.

In the face of this danger of institutionalization and bureaucratization, the FOB of Buenos Aires has decided to become an "   autonomous
FOB   " and to prioritize coordination and alliance with piqueteras "   combative   " organizations. It reaffirms its territorial
development strategy, whose activities are not limited to the issue of work but aim to take into account all situations of domination or
oppression.

The institutional trap
Another criticism addressed by the autonomous FOB concerns the very conception of " popular economy   " as put forward by the CTEP. We
believe that it crystallizes the precariousness and institutionalization of the excluded, locks them into this status and we do not see any
prospect of emancipation and social transformation anticapitalist.

This recent split of the FOB takes place in a political context marked by the polarization between the right that was in power and the
Peronists who have just accessed it. In this context, all piqueteras organizations go through or have gone through similar situations of
social and political recomposition. This is one of the characteristics of Argentine political life. Nothing is definitive, the
contradictions between the expectations of a new government and its inability to solve structural poverty is likely to erode the TRP, which
is a coalition of organizations.

FOB autonomous "continues to build and fight for feminist social change, anti-capitalist, anti-racist, anticolonial and anti-patriarchal,
from the ground up and always with class independence"  [2].

Fabrice (autonomous FOB)

[1] The "piquetero" movement takes its name from the practice of blocking roads by stakes of unemployed workers.

In the face of the climatic emergency and for quality public transport, CNT calls Transport workers: EMT, Metro, Taxi, Renfe and all the
social and union groups so that on Tuesday, December 3, support the strikes and mobilizations called in defense of a quality and inclusive,
social and sustainable public service: ---- -Concentration before the City Council of Madrid, in Cibeles, from 10:30 a.m. ----
-Demonstration at 5:30 p.m. from the Transport Consortium- CRT, Rios Rosas street, to Plaza de Cibeles. ---- There has come a point where
public transport has deteriorated by strategic will of those who do not defend the public. The Metro has been for a long time and a few
months ago the EMT service. The Renfe (suburban) and Taxi sectors are also suffering deterioration. Not covering the casualties of the
workforce is the main cause but not the only one. The disastrous maintenance, the laziness, cuts in services, putting at risk the health of
workers and passengers are the serious actions aimed at privatization.

Privatize the Naviluz bus service with easily removable excuses, and the uncertainty that the substitution service of the metro line 4 is
covered is another example of where they take their management.

That the COP25 will be held in Madrid will uncover at the international level municipal and regional policies that are not at all coincident
with the supposed defense at the summit of the climate. Its demagogy about sustainability comes to light.

Madrid Green Capital is a pure marketing exercise, as it is a polluted city, mistreating the trees and without effective controls to private
traffic, dismantling bike lanes and without taking pedestrian measures.

For the environment, sustainable and backbone public transport must be defended, it is a social right.

SUPPORT THE MOBILIZATIONS: GO TO THE CONCENTRATION AND MANIFESTATION OF DECEMBER 3.
WE MOVE FOR YOU, MOVE FOR US!

"It's not 30 pesos, but 30 years. Pinera won!" - the banner of the Class Workers' Organization ---- When, at the beginning of October this
year, the ultra-right and neoliberal billionaire-president of Chile Sebastián Piñera proudly stated that against the background of the
troubled Latin America, the country he ruled "is a real oasis", nobody expected that the largest protests would break out just a few days
later social in the history of this country. ---- It all started with a slight increase in ticket prices for the subway in the capital of
Chile, Santiago: prices increased by 30 pesos (about 15 grosze). The young, dissatisfied with the next hike, began mass free-riding
activities combined with organizing rallies at metro stations and demonstrating goal jumping. They protested not directly in their interests
- pupils and students were to bypass the increase - but on behalf of their parents and the working class. The costs of traveling on the
Chilean metro, the most important means of transport in the capital, are in fact one of the most expensive in the world. A Chilean employee
who earns a minimum wage must devote almost 14% of his salary to travel to and from work. This one is only $ 424, with Chile being a country
with horrendously high living costs,

The authorities responded to student protests by police violence - the uniforms began to spray gas at metro stations, mourn teenagers and
finally shoot them with shot. On October 18, police violence escalated and protesters responded: demolishing subway gates, blocking and
setting fire to the station (although it is known today that some of the arson and many other provocations are responsible for the police
themselves seeking to escalate the conflict). In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Chileans came out to the streets to hear the
government's violent reaction to popular demonstrations of young people. There were violent riots and total paralysis of public transport in
the capital, barricades were erected. There was a spontaneous social rebellion.

Piñera's immediate response was the announcement of a state of emergency, sending the army to the streets and curfew - initially only in
Santiago, and then in almost the entire country. This is the first time such measures of repression have been used since the end of the
military dictatorship (in the years 1973-1990 the power was exercised by a right-wing military junta led by Augusto Pinochet). Pictures
taken alive from the painful and still not fully settled past - armored vehicles, soldiers armed to the teeth occupying the city center -
only enraged the society. Instead of going home, the Chileans went out into the streets even more numerous and the demonstrations became
more violent. The riots lasted all nights despite the curfew. "They robbed us of all - also out of fear," the demonstrators explained. The
nightmares of dictatorship have returned:

On October 25, a historic demonstration took place: for the first time over a million citizens came to the streets of the capital itself.
Finally, the president withdrew the state of emergency. However, mass manifestations and repression are ongoing (the third week of protests
passes as the text is being written).

Only penny increases in ticket prices did not lead to the streets of all of Chile. It was only a drop that poured a cup of bitterness.
Because "it's not about 30 pesos - it's about 30 years" as Chileans emphasize. Thirty years ago, democracy was restored, evoking hope for a
better life, basic social justice and dignity. Chileans and Chileans quickly became disappointed in the apparent change - the Pinochet
constitution was preserved, the ultra-liberal economic system was maintained, and the privatization of all possible public services and
natural resources was deepened. The position of the working class has hardly changed.

Therefore, some prefer to say that it is not 30 years, but 46 years! On September 11, 1973, the army under the command of General Augusto
Pinochet carried out a coup d'état financed and inspired by the United States, overthrowing the leftist government of Salvador Allende and
introducing for the first time in the world an extremely neoliberal economic model. Everything was privatized: education, health care,
pension system (Polish OFE is a direct copy of the Chilean model). Few got rich while the rest of society fell into poverty. Nevertheless,
the times of brutal dictatorship were presented as an "economic miracle". To date, the media has presented the country as the fastest
growing and richest in the whole continent, pointing only to GDP indicators. It has been carefully overlooked that 55 percent of national
revenues go to only 10 percent of the population,

Chileans have been fighting for reforms for years: they demand state pensions, free education, nationalization of natural resources (Chile
is the only country in the world that privatized water), lowering the salary of parliamentarians (currently it is 33 times the minimum
wage), shortening working hours (applicable 45 - an hour's work week), the right of indigenous people to self-determination, stop the
destruction of nature. These are the postulates of the current "Chilean uprising". In a word, it is a demand to reject the neoliberal model
of the state. However, for any changes to be possible, the basic postulate of the demonstrators must be implemented, which is "the new
constitution!" It is because it, established during the dictatorship under the dictation of authoritarian, neoliberal elites, maintains the
existing socio-economic order. Chileans demand constitutional assembly,

Trade unions have been involved in the social uprising since the very beginning. Employees of seaports and mines are particularly active.
Strikes, however, are undertaken by numerous industries - health care workers, transporters, taxi drivers, etc. Two general strikes have
already taken place, more are being announced.

At present, it is difficult to talk about any leadership of protests - it simply does not exist. The movement is organized spontaneously and
from below. He separates himself from all establishment political parties. Grassroots, folk social, union, tenant and leftist organizations
try to set the tone. In the third week of rebellion, one thing is only certain - Chilean society has woken up from a neo-liberal nightmare
and is not going to stop quickly in the fight for a better and dignified life. As one of the slogans says: "neoliberalism was born in Chile
and will die here".

Update: Behind the back of the social movement, almost the entire parliamentary opposition has signed an agreement with the ruling coalition
regarding a plebiscite on the new constitution. The parliamentary pact assumes the launch of a referendum in the spring of 2020, then the
citizens of Chile will decide whether they want the new constitution and if so what body is to write it. There are two possibilities: either
an assembly of solely social delegates or a body of half parliamentarians and delegates. They will be elected by universal suffrage in the
autumn of 2020.

The social movement condemned the opposition's actions. The pact and agreement with the government responsible for systematic violations of
human rights was recognized as legitimizing the cabinet of Sebastian Piñera. Meanwhile, the main postulate is his immediate resignation.
Secondly, the deadlines for the referendum were considered too distant, which means that social demands will be blunted by the time the new
constitution is drafted. Thirdly, the implementation of the new constitution will be subject to various conditions (including  2/3
parliamentarians and parliamentarians will have to pass it). So the society continues to fight - far from the establishment political
parties, side by side with trade unions, tenant movements, women's movements, and the independent left.

On March 28-29, 2020, the next Workers' Initiative Work Congress will take place in Warsaw. His motto is: "There are more and more of us -
combining fights and other challenges". In this way, we announce that the main topic of the meeting will be a discussion on challenges
related to the dynamic development of our union: only during this year 15 new committees joined the Employee Initiative, and the number of
union increased by 1 thousand. people (from 2.5 to 3.5 thousand). Such rapid growth of new structures and the number of members forces us to
attempt to jointly answer such questions as: Are changes necessary in our organizational structure? How can we build daily, practical
solidarity and cooperation between very different committees? What problems can the topics and postulates be a field of joint activities of
the union at the national level? How should we deal with conflict situations?

The Working Congress is to help us all answer these questions and prepare the ground for the 12th National Congress of Delegates and
Delegates (KZD) in 2021. It will also be a partial summary of how we implemented the arrangements and decisions of the previous National
Congress of Delegates and Delegates. Pursuant to the IP statute, the Working Congresses have the character of a "discussion and exchange
forum" on topics related to the strategy of the union's activity - we do not elect authorities or change the statute on them, but rather
start a debate about what changes in the functioning of the union should take place in shortly. This debate is to ultimately lead to better
preparation of draft resolutions for the 12th KZD. We want projects to amend the IP statute or decisions regarding the functioning of the
union's national authorities, as well as any other structure and strategy decisions,

So far, the National Commission has prepared a preliminary list of issues along with the draft version of the Congress - we publish them
below, while encouraging all members and IP members to actively participate in the development of these issues and to prepare their own
proposals and papers. Persons interested in the preparatory work on the Working Congress, please contact us by email:  ip[@]ozzip.pl

Issues related to the IP organizational structure

This part of the Congress will be devoted to discussing how the current National Commission implemented the decisions of the previous
Congress of Delegates and Delegates on the establishment of a trade union office (a team of persons responsible for formal, legal and
administrative issues, as well as cooperation between factory, inter-company and environmental committees and the CC he receives
remuneration for his work). The issue of how the trade union office should operate has aroused lively discussion and numerous disputes at
the last KZD, which is why we want to discuss in detail how we implemented the recommendations of delegates and delegates in practice, and
why the office finally adopted the form it currently has.

The second organizational issue raised in this part will be finances - specifically, the proposals of the National Commission in the scope
of obtaining external sources of financing (increasing activities aimed at obtaining donations from persons sympathizing with the union and
the implementation of training projects financed by external entities) and providing information on the collection of contributions together
with discussing the main problems that arise on this occasion.

Issues related to IP program demands

The second part of the Congress will be devoted to discussions on topics that potentially combine the activities of committees from various
industries and regions, and can be an impulse for activities and campaigns implemented at an ex-establishment level (nationwide or
industry). For example, last year such issues for many committees were issues related to: (1) working time, (2) temperatures at work and (3)
collective dispute procedure. In addition, lively discussions within the union were also caused by topics such as: announcements of minimum
wage increases (submitted by both PiS and opposition parties), and problems related to subcontracting and outsourcing (especially in public
services).

Issues related to the coordination of local and industry IP committees

The third part of the Congress will concern how individual committees cooperate with each other at the local (city or province) and industry
level. This is a continuation of the discussions that we started several years ago - including introducing into the statute the possibility
of establishing "territorial or industry coordination". In this part, we want to discuss how these coordinations can work in practice (on
the example of the only Mazovian Coordination so far established), and talk about what actions are needed to develop both local and industry
cooperation.

Issues related to solving internal conflicts

Relationship development and functioning in difficult conditions of conflict with employers are inseparably associated with the emergence of
conflicts within the Employee Initiative (at various levels: from the commission to the nationwide level). Until now, we have devoted very
little time to the issues of how we should resolve conflicts within the union, how to guarantee respect for rights and security of persons
who are exposed to, e.g. violent behavior from other members or IP members, who and according to what procedure is entitled to resolve
disputes (personal or otherwise) ... in order to develop proposals for anti-conflict procedures, the current National Commission appointed a
working group immediately after the last Congress, which will present the effects of its work and proposals of statutory changes in this
regard at the Working Congress.

It has been a month since the social explosion, we see that our efforts in the various organizations and the call to work from the
territories has been arduous, a situation to which perhaps it was not completely prepared and throughout these intense days it is normal to
see a physical, mental and discursive wear. On the other hand, it is also thought that the response as anarchists could have been different
and more coordinated, in order to capture in the population the principles and purposes of anarchism in the face of widespread disgust with
the hierarchical institutions that dominate us. We see that in various territories the abuse and domination of the privileged class
continues to be questioned, but without it being aimed at finding alternatives for a real liberation and transformation of our lives, we
could exemplify that the current focus of the discussions that has led to deliver the effort only to a change of constitution, which we
understand as the restructuring of a new oppressor. In other territories we can also see political parties through social organizations
putting their noses, making them believe that they are representative of the people because they have been leaders or "social actors" for
years, trying to validate the same power structures and privileges of one over the other that This social explosion originated. What would
lead these new "social actors" to be the new bourgeoisie.

The different anarchist organizations have managed to articulate various activities, in other territories new organizations are being born,
but we consider that this effort is a first step. History has let us know that this social outbreak and the level of response of people do
not happen when we want, nor is it immediate, or by chance, they are processes that take decades of work and this is a great opportunity to
move forward. The strength to maintain the fight will depend on each one, we need each other together to dream and to give a collective
effort. It is time to take charge of the self-criticism of the lack of unity, because for various situations a federation of anarchist
organizations has not been achieved, without, through these calls being individualization, the exclusion of people,

We believe it is urgent that the anarchists are organized and call for unity, leaving aside personal differences; Without this being
understood that we would be ignoring the seriousness of certain facts, but at the same time, we understand that anarchism is the only
political philosophy that is constantly self-critical, which makes us question and improve our actions.

Through the assembly that we propose, we hope to achieve concrete work in the short term and long term in order to create a united anarchist
movement and aspiring to social transformation.

It is important to mention that although the call is being made through a particular organization that is ideologically oriented by
anarcho-syndicalism, the call is not only to the anarcho-syndicalists and sympathizers of this, our purpose is not that a group or trend is
position as the spokesman of anarchism. Feel involved in all organizations that pursue anarchist principles, means and ends.

We call to initiate a process throughout Chile, where the anarchists of all the communes and regions, hold local assemblies, to finally hold
an anarchist congress of the Chilean region.

As SOV Santiago is part of the metropolitan region, the call we are initially making to the surrounding municipalities of Santiago, but we
urge the organization of each territory, generating the necessary calls and thus achieving a cohesive movement.

In the process no selections will be made or projects will be neglected, from publishing houses to territorial organizations, from
propaganda groups to student groups, from liberated spaces to cooperatives, everyone, including individuals who are not currently agitating,
are invited to participate .

The assembly will be held on Sunday, January 5, 2020 and those who wish to participate please contact the mail:

December 2008 uprising ---- When the rule of law collapsed and the path to total overthrow of the world of exploitation and oppression
appeared. ---- When thousands of people took to the streets to express their anger at the assassination of Alexander Grigoropoulos by the
corpses of Corconea and Saraliotis. ---- When utopia carved its mark on the streets and buildings of cities. ---- The infamous "Law and
Order" is nothing more than a crescendo of terrorism, authoritarianism and demonstration of power by right-wing state administration by
mobilizing huge armed forces and carrying out numerous occupations, where 15 , Dream, 5 the School, Acharnon and Mayer, Bouboulinas) or
which are centers struggle (GARE, Rosa de Foc, Palmares , Vancouver, ASOEE hangout) in the Exarchia area of Athens. Armed police officers
led hundreds of migrant children and minors to Peter Ralli's convoy and then to the concentration camps.At the same time, the camps of
repression and armed patrols in the neighborhood of the Exarchates and in the wider neighborhoods of downtown Athens, serve as an occupation
army with attacks, verbal provocations, sexist harassment, use of chemicals against prisoners, torture, arrests and bans on the anniversary
of the Technical University.

The choice of the state to place the occupation and neighborhood of the Exarchates as the primary repressive target is not accidental.
Exarchia is an area that hosts a mosaic of individuals and collectivities that resist state and capitalist barbarism. Areas of struggle and
self-organization, as are occupations, are embedded in catastrophic schemes and at the same time territorialized by the world of power.A
world based on the exploitation and oppression of man by man, where everything is a commodity and the maximum value is the profits of the
bosses. The widespread assault aims to intimidate political entities and to stifle struggles, while at the same time normalizing bureaucracy
in the center of the metropolis and asymmetric violence by the state. Exarchia were, not accidentally, at the center of the December 2008
uprising and have been, are and will continue to be a point of reference for the fighters. It is the neighborhood whose subjugation is a bet
for today's political administrators who do not forgive the insurgents who shook their sleep and challenged the status quo.

On December 6, 2008, 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos fell dead from the bullets of republican murderers in the Exarchia area. Once
again the gun of a cop "accidentally fired", another "misunderstanding" ... Another police assassination added to the long list of victims
of the state. From the first minutes of the assassination, savage clashes with the repressive forces broke out. Attacks on police
departments, state and capitalist targets have taken over university campuses, students' schools and public buildings. The revolt spread
throughout Greece.

It was not just a youthful outburst, it was the rage that spontaneously but also organized was expressed by an important part of the society
experiencing and experiencing the daily violence of domination.It was the thousands who saw themselves in Alexis' face. It was the killings
of immigrants in concentration camps and the border, the torture in police stations, the dead mother who was murdered by the MAT while
fighting against a landfill site in Lefkimmi, Corfu, were the murderers of the bombers. and the laundering of the "jardiniere", were the
dead of fires in the Peloponnese and Euboea, the devastating fire in the Parnitha ecosystem was also in 2008 the first signs of economic and
institutional ment had started to distinguish amid successive revelations of financial scandals (Vatopedi, structured bonds, Siemens, and
others) and the timeless impunity. Which state really punishes itself? This reality, fueled by the widespread resentment of the following,
brought about the December explosion, which was the reason for the assassination of partner Alexis. An explosion that demanded nothing and
demanded nothing, since nothing could change a suffocating daily life for an ever-growing part of the population. December came to destroy
every symbol of a world that all it could promise and offer was exploitation, misery, oppression, poverty, poverty, social exclusion,
racism, the violence practiced by lords of power in the lounges of power. for nothing could change a suffocating daily life for an
ever-growing part of the population. December came to destroy every symbol of a world that all it could promise and offer was exploitation,
misery, oppression, poverty, poverty, social exclusion, racism, the violence practiced by lords of power in the lounges of power. for
nothing could change a suffocating daily life for an ever-growing part of the population. December came to destroy every symbol of a world
that all it could promise and offer was exploitation, misery, oppression, poverty, poverty, social exclusion, racism, the violence practiced
by lords of power in the lounges of power.As the wall says, "December was not an answer, December was a question."

Despite the spontaneity of the early days, the follow-up showed that what the insurgents were looking for was more than just a "complaint"
of police arbitrariness. At the same time as the explosion of social rage the new one was born. The passion for disaster during December was
also a creative passion that drew new social and class boundaries within the metropolis. This time, the dividing lines were flaming
barricades . The world of struggle on the one hand and the world of power on the other.There, relationships and ventures were born on our
side, dozens of texts were written, technologies and techniques of domination were adopted and transformed, urban space was liberated, eyes
were emancipated. If the catastrophe came from despair, the creation came from questioning. Challenging the credibility not only of
institutions, dominant relationships and structures but also of the means, actions and ways of organizing the struggles themselves. A
challenge that created the social terrain on which anti-hierarchy, self-organization, solidarity, resistance flourished.

Immediate action, open assemblies, collective mediators of radical resistance, social antisemitism, bottom-up organization, sabotage, free
movement, expropriation of consumer goods and "all for all" were all fleshed out and influenced every aspect of everyday life.This
contributed to the decisive contribution of the anarchist space that gave a dynamic presence to the December uprising by disseminating its
constituencies and applying methods of struggle. Logical and race choices, which in addition to their reflection on the road, found their
collective ground in the self-organized ventures that were born after December. Occupation of buildings, parks and public spaces,
strengthening of base unions and class solidarity. This was December's stock. The feeling that no one was alone against the violence of the
state and capital. In those months we believed in our own strengths and returned to the oppressors some of the violence we have experienced
over time.

December 2008 revealed that when the bottom line believes in their own power, everything is possible.So from December 2008 onwards the
state, wanting to shield and take "revenge" from insurgents who questioned its omnipotence and in the face of impending social explosions,
upgraded its repressive mechanisms and legal weapons anti-terrorist legislation, hoodlums, auras, abolition of university asylum, etc.). At
the same time it encouraged and reinforced its fascist reserves and promoted the conservative reflexes of society by promoting racism and
depreciating human life. All this repressive upgrading is not only aimed at the anarchists or who are struggling today. It comes to
safeguard social and class peace in every way by transforming society into a cemetery in order to achieve capitalist development.

Nowadays, despite the repression, control, and end-of-life ultimatums, various parts of the globe are wrapped in the flames of revolt:
France, Iraq, Colombia, Ecuador, Haiti ... On different social backgrounds, with different social demands, the oppressed and the exploiters
raise the banner of the uprising. They take to the streets, challenge the status quo and promote social normality. But above all, they prove
that the stability of all kinds of power models is fragile and requires large doses of covert state violence and terrorism to enforce. It is
a widespread challenge to the modern conditions of oppression that are beginning and spreading across the world without anyone knowing or
being able to say where a new social rebellion will break out tomorrow.

December 2008 can be far-fetched and the conditions imposed on the bottom-line are increasingly unfavorable and seem unchanged. But the
oppressed and the exploited need to understand that entrenchment, fatalism and social cannibalism are deadlocked. We must resist state and
capitalist barbarism in our neighborhoods, our schools, our schools, our diverse and horizontal workplaces. December has shown that
solidarity is our weapon and our imaginary ally. The struggle for social revolution and social liberation continues. Nothing's over. It is
enough to believe in ourselves, in our own strengths, and to stand side by side with each other in every form of power.

The uprisings are right, not the rufians and the pilgrims.

War in state war and bosses.

Solidarity with occupations and self-organized structures.

Solidarity with immigrant women.

THEN and NOW we should attack every power, walk in the footsteps of the uprising towards... social revolution, anarchy and communism.

In France, workers from many sectors are on a general strike to react to the point-based pension system that President Emmanuel Macron wants
to bring. ---- Hundreds of thousands of workers, including training laborers, lawyers, taxi drivers and airport workers, are on strike, and
are expected to experience disruptions in many areas of life such as education, transportation, garbage collection and health services. The
students of the biggest strike in France in recent years also support by boycotting the lessons. ---- Because of the strike that started
today, it has been learned that at least ten metro lines have been closed so far in Paris, train stops in Nice have been completely stopped
and serious disruptions have been experienced in many cities such as Marseille and Lyon.
Transportation was at a standstill, schools were not opened. Air France employees, doctors, teachers, taxi drivers, policemen, doctors,
nurses, Renault and refinery employees, EDF employees of electricity generation and distribution companies did not work.

The unions say they will continue the strike until retirement reform is withdrawn.

Tomorrow, December 5th, massive strikes will take place in France, against President Macron's attacks on pensions and his continuing
austerity programme. This is why he cut short his visit to the NATO conference in Britain and cancelled his attendance at the COP25
environmental conference in Madrid. ---- Already wildcat strikes have taken place on the railways in response to the attacks. Under pressure
from the steadily increasing anger among workers, students, the unemployed and pensioners, the union bureaucrats are calling for strikes on
the railways, the Parisian transport system, among truck drivers, Air France, the health service, education, electricity, firefighters,
chemical industry, the ports, and the postal service. Supermarket workers at the Carrefour and Geant Casino chains, restaurant workers at
the Hippopotamus chain, and workers at Perrier and Haribo are also set to go on strike.

There is huge support for the strike action among the general population. There is every indication that the country will be paralysed by
the actions. In addition both university and high school students and lawyers will be joining the demonstrations on the streets tomorrow.
Yellow Vests have also said they will be joining the protests. Strikes starting on the railways will be indefinite and railworkers are
determined in their action, angered not just by the attacks on pensions, but by wage cuts and wage freezes and the proposed partial
privatisation of rail.

Macron is supremely arrogant. He has seen off the year long protests of the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vests) with the use of partial concessions
and heavy police repression alongside that. He believes he knows best and at a recent meeting with students in Amiens said that "I get the
feeling, listening to us collectively, if you listen to radio or turn on the television, that everything is awful. ... Right now our country
is, I think, too negative about itself."

The union leaders will attempt to make the strikes a token one day affair, but already calls are going out to extend the strikes beyond one
day, fully supported by libertarian communists and anarchists in France. Workers and students need to develop the strike movement through
mass assemblies and grassroots committees and agitate to extend the strike actions.

Let's not give in to illusions. The far-right compromise with liberal bourgeois democracy is just a regular move. The true spirit of the far
right is hatching into the snake's egg. It is simply covered with a neo-fascist institutional mantle of neo-fascists in order to gain
popularity and gain power. In this ideological game of power the mind is always the target. It is clear that we must not only resist this
institutional lobby but also demonstrate that society is not going to backtrack for the benefit of excessive chauvinism. The far-right in
government aims to deconstruct the evil plot. ---- Ultimatum in Power: Quitting -- Society's Occupation ----  The way Mitsotakis came to
power at the institutional level is a blatant instance of institutional stalemate through left-wing government and a political cognitive
discord, after so that before the decision, the unfortunate situation for Greek society reached its climax with the pretext of the first
time left accepting everything. And then after the right-wing formation decision to try to reduce the "democratic" contradiction to get the
desired result for power: Acceptance.

Cognitive Mismatch is the tendency of a person to reduce the mismatch created by two cognitively contradictory elements. In the case of this
government the national comes to dominate the social (after all, power by its very nature is the enemy of the social), and to no surprise is
the overt antagonism and ambiguity of the coexistence of the far right with institutional democracy. It is often the same, and see the same,
repression, migration, etc.

The landscaping of the far right is now a fact when the Greek Solution enters parliament. Now the horizontal legitimacy of far-right
discourse comes to give a gloomy picture of the future by creating a temporary illusion of social reflexes since "if the fascist might have
ruled superbly," it might be worth watching. This prospect is extremely dangerous given the inadequacy of left-wing speech-making graphic
designers who became the "guardians" of the state (see Bogdanos).

This is where our attention must be focused and the "wonderful blonde beast" of the far-right can divert the state of emergency and
"lawlessness" as a highlight to the already well-established conservatism of society. And now, the modern democratic market world 'is a
power monster without a beginning and an end, a constant amount of power, hard like bronze, which does not increase or decrease, which is
not exhausted but transformed into a process which is neither aware nor saturated neither disgust nor fatigue. "

For the mythical ideological universe of the capitalist system incorporates all the colors of idealism. The concept of the state
dialectically links and integrates the concept of "popular sovereignty" with that of the dictatorship of the "chosen". On the monarchical
scales of the "enlightened" they defy the idealistic colors of bourgeois democracy. Simply the game here (bourgeois democracy) is more
appealing, more difficult and complicated, more sophisticated for the advocates of state power. For where philosophical "realistic"
Darwinism, starting with the biological principle of "war against all", produces the principle of power and then instantly reduces it to
absolute moral principle, the "democratic"

It must be fully understood that one of the most important features of nationalism is its emotional and emotional appeal. This confusion and
the confusion of latent fascism with the feeling of patriotism. As well as the fact that nationalism by its very nature is schizophrenic in
nature. This allowed K. Velopoulos' Greek Solution to be able to express itself at different times as progressive but also reactionary,
democratic and authoritarian, rational and unreasonable rather than graphic.
The false need for security has once again brought to the fore the basic conviction of nationalism that the nation is or should be the
central principle of political organization. So to this extent nationalist far-right components would not be possible to coexist in such a
scheme. Of course, the concept of national salvation is simply a mental representation of a grim reality in an ideological construct that
serves the interests of sovereignty. Thus creating a conceived tradition of redemption as a representation of a self-fulfilling prophecy
that the institution as another palm tree will be reborn from its ashes.

The return of the nation-state to the pretext of national sovereignty is therefore a prospect that offers both social cohesion as an alibi
and political unity as a threat. Because nationalism is coming to legitimize the idea of governance and chauvinism, a key component of the
development of far-right discourse.
The national chauvinism instilled within the Mitsotakis government by the faces of Borides, Adonis Georgiadis and K. Bogdanou, these alleged
"amiable fascists" feeds on a keen sense of hysterical nationalist enthusiasm as shown by them. This peculiar archaic-patriotic and
chauvinistic chauvinism is particularly appealing to the marginalized and the weak because it offers them the prospect of security,
self-respect and pride. But to do so must stimulate a 'negative integration' aspect as a threat - as an enemy. Turks in particular and
immigrants in general. We need the nationalist "us" to scapegoat the "other" for all the calamities and disappointments that our "sufferers"
suffer.

After all, fascism comes from the Italian word fasces which means "bunch of sticks with a blade of a stick protruding". As a worthy
offspring descendant, Mr. Voridis, former president of the EPN Youth, as a genuine fascist, rebelled against modernity, against the ideas
and values of the Enlightenment, and of course against the beliefs that he now gave birth to One characteristic of the far-right is the
radical rejection of equality. Right-wing behavior is deeply elitist and strongly patriarchal, which is why the far-right rhetoric is an
expression of all these vulgar antisocial tendencies. This is a blatant acceptance of the totalitarian ideal. Through a system of political
power that surrounds everything and is established by the ideological manipulation of "effective" the overt terror of "bankruptcy" and the
daily brutality of the labor reserve. The new government of nationalist salvation aims at the complete abolition of civil society, based on
the rejection of tolerance and open society for the benefit of its authoritarian "pluralism".

Let's not give in to illusions. The far-right compromise with liberal bourgeois democracy is just a regular move. The true spirit of the
far-right is hatching in the snake's egg. It is simply covered with a neo-fascist institutional mantle of neo-fascists in order to gain
popularity and gain power. In this ideological game of power the mind is always the target. It is clear that we must not only resist this
institutional lobby but also demonstrate that society is not going to backtrack for the benefit of excessive chauvinism. The far-right in
government aims to deconstruct the evil plot. According to Hannah Arendt: "Evil is never radical, it is only extreme and has no depth or
satanic dimension. It can grow too much and devastate the whole world because it spreads like mold on a surface. " Let's not let it spread.
Let us return to them the ultimatum that their days are over for them to leave their positions.
