Brief report by Mexico City anarchists on their relief efforts in Oaxaca after the recent earthquake. ---- We want to thank the men and
women who supported this effort to help each other by donating what they could. For those from different latitudes, who despite the global
health crisis, managed to support this effort. We are able to take basic food products such as corn, beans, eggs, milk, sugar etc., together
with medicines, first aid materials and medical equipment, such as glucometers and blood pressure monitors, face masks, antibacterial gel
etc. to different communities in Oaxaca. We want to give way to other struggles that need solidarity, so we are officially closing the
reception of economic support.
With these actions, we again demonstrate that we do not need the State, but only solidarity and mutual help. Anarchist organizations can
respond to natural disasters.

We are informing you of this opinion letter which we received by email. Do not hesitate to do the same and send us your news and opinion
letters. ---- onspiracy theories, pseudo-science and deceptive beliefs are not new. If there are indeed real conspiracies in our society, by
the fact that people seek to enrich themselves more and more on the backs of others with the help of our politicians for example, conspiracy
theories relate to great wacky mythologies of the contemporary world. The latter are often anchored in rational foundations, such as the
creation of social consensus by monopoly media, impotence and collective alienation in the face of dominant forces and the social control
exercised by the state and the big capitalists. In contrast, the myth constructed by conspiracy theories, pseudo-sciences and deceptive
beliefs move away from these foundations by preferring to scientific and rational explanations scaffolding of sordid theories and puppet
hunting. Rather than analyzing the effect of power and property or the origin of wealth accumulation, these theories seek to point the
finger at harmful individuals or groups of people. There is nothing positive about the theories, even if some people may believe that they
may question forms of domination. By looking for targets and easy answers to social relationships, these theories build the impotence of a
popular response by deceiving people about the functioning of the system. Rather than analyzing the effect of power and property or the

At the time of Covid-19, these misleading theories and beliefs are probably more present than ever in the population. An article from Le
Devoir, last May, reported that up to half of Canadians believed in the context of the pandemic. Certainly, people are looking for answers
to their questions. Groups are also taking advantage of this to seek to rally the skeptics of government action around them and to mobilize
them in their causes. This is how the various figures of the far-right confusionist in Quebec threw themselves headlong into questioning the
Covid-19 and conspiracy theories. From the plot of a secret invasion of Quebec by Islam to the plot of a New World Order against the (cyber)
freedom of these hissers, there was only one step. Some, like André Pitre, host of a far-right webradio, were even able to extract thousands
of dollars from the bogus campaign of false stars who sought to sue the Quebec government (see the pseudo- "Foundation for the Defense of
the Rights and Freedoms of the People" - an incredible scam!). The conspiracy theorists André Pitre (Stu-Dio) and Alexis Cossette-Trudel
(Radio-Québec) think, as do the supporters of QAnon's far-right conspiracy theorists, that the Covid-19 would be a fabrication in which an
"elite would come into play. pedosatanist ", which Trump will eliminate (only!) if he is re-elected. (LOL) Despite the unnamed absurdity of
these words and their certain function of rallying the most silly segments of the electorate for Trump, these theories have mobilized
different people like ex-accountant Stéphane Blais, actress Lucie Laurier, as well as locally, in the Saguenay, a small group of people who
recently carried out an action on the Place du citoyen. The internet brings about a compartmentalization of thought and it is the end of the
shared criteria of truth of which Jürgen Habermas spoke. On social networks abound in reclusive, closed, comforted and withdrawn communities
of thought.
That said, there are many reasons to fear the power of the white coat specialist or the government of science. In this regard, Foucault
nonetheless analyzed the biases and relationships of domination that could be exerted in the relationship between experts in the medical
field and their patients. Likewise, faced with the excessive control of doctors and the lack of free and informed choices, many feminist
activists have long campaigned for self-health practices or alternative institutions (example: birth centers), making them more autonomous
in the face of their body and their health. If we can be critical of the power of experts and reports of heteronomy, we could however hardly
do without their knowledge and their contribution. There is a balance to be sought, but in this quest it is better to avoid pseudo-sciences.
There are currently forms of prevention (see for example physical distancing and masks) which can allow us to limit as much as possible the
number of people who die as a result of the complications of this pandemic. Forms of prevention which can prevent us from coming to the
dehumanizing situations, seen in several countries, of sorting of the people who will be able to have access to emergency care and those who
will not have it for lack of beds. Finally, forms of prevention that can bring us together with workers in the health sector, abandoned for
decades by the state and its drastic cuts, exhausted by giving themselves to each shift for the others. For the others. It is above all for
others that we should think and act. The effectiveness of preventive health care is not absolute, and measures such as smoking restrictions
and protections against STBBIs have not completely stopped the scourges they combat. However, we can see that the preventive approach is far
more advantageous as a society than the curative approach, whether in terms of impacts on health, costs or even on people's autonomy. When
the conspirators speak of their freedom, there is indeed food for thought. Our freedom is inseparable from that of others and can only be
exercised within egalitarian relationships with others. Otherwise, this so-called "freedom" only feeds the world of injustice, oppression
and privilege in which we live.

This is my favourite CW tactic - barging past cops and flunkeys and lefties telling us 'you cant go in there'. see the Dorchester as we
pushed barriers aside, or the super flunkey at Sothebys who had to be removed from the action suffering from class war shock. ---- Or the
absurdity of the Cable Street commemoration where the lefties walked on the pavement at cop instructions in a celebration of road blocking!!
---- I see Oxford very muck like this. We hold meetings with our black flags all over the city centre not just bout Oxford but anarchism,
anything at all. WE hold meetings outside in streets and pavements - like speakers corner used t be. ---- But also in shops, churches,
college buildings, pubs. Musicians, bands can play outside, poets, rabble rousers - gotta chase up anyone and everyone.....and ANARCHY...AND
as he fireworks start to crackle......and the Oxford Union meeting starts........let us know if you are coming and what you're gonna talk
about........WE'RE ALL GOING TO OXFORD LA LA LA LA

The first General Strike in the history of Brazil began on July 9, 1917, in São Paulo (SP). Influenced by anarchist ideas, brought by
European workers, mainly Italian and Spanish, workers demonstrated against the precarious conditions of work in Brazil during World War II.
---- On July 9, a cavalry charge was launched against workers protesting at Mariangela factory door in Brás, and resulted in the death of
young Spanish anarchist anarquista Martinez. His funeral attracted a crowd that went through the city accompanying the body to the cemetery
of Araçá where he was buried. ---- Outraged and already prepared for the strike the workers of two textile factories known as Cotonifício
Rodolfo Crespi, in the neighborhood of Mooca, began the strike that soon spread to cities such as Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and Porto Alegre (RS).
It was some kind of ´´ hunger riot ".
And the women were on the front line. They were the majority of the working class and claimed better conditions of work, wage increase, end
of child work and reduction of exhaustive hours.
The strike lasted 30 days and brought together about 70 workers and workers. If not all objective demands were conquered, the stoppage had
as a balance the organizational strengthening of the movement and serves as a historical example for the working class these days!
