On 11/1/2014, the Women's Protection Units (YPJ) and the People's Protection Units (YPG) fought fierce battles against ISIS in the city of
Kombani in northern Syria, which had been under siege since 9/15/2014. On 1/11/2014, coordinated mass demonstrations of international
solidarity took place in the liberation and revolutionary struggle of the Kurdish people in many areas around the world. On 26/1/2015,
Kompani was liberated by the armed forces of the Kurdish resistance. The liberation of Kombani marks a crucial victory for the social
revolution in northern Syria and at the same time marks the beginning of the end for ISIS. Finally, on 17/10/2017, the last stronghold of
ISIS falls, Raqqa, which was the capital of the Islamic State and was liberated by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Since July 2012, a vibrant revolutionary process has been unfolding in the region of Northern and Eastern Syria / Western Kurdistan, in
Rozava, raising its stature against capitalism, imperialism, fascism and patriarchy. The liberating social task of the democratic
confederation consists in the peaceful coexistence of peoples in terms of direct democracy, is based on social ecology and radical feminism,
and challenges the role of the state as an instrument of sovereignty, proving tangibly that and their power will sooner or later be
overthrown by the rebellious workers and peasants. This is the historical task of the subordinate classes.
The perspective and material realization of social and class emancipation, the self-management of all production, distribution and social
life by the oppressed and exploited themselves fundamentally affects the class interests of the ruling, capitalist, class. The social
revolution in Rojava is a promising process for the social liberation of all subjects, but also a liberating endeavor that overturns in
practice the claims of bourgeois politicians and economists, of the dominant capitalist ideology itself, of permanence and unwavering
solidarity. systemic. The supposed capitalist one-way street is being shaken by every militant step taken by the peoples in the direction of
the social revolution. The ubiquitous imperialists can not digest anything that the oppressed peoples of the Middle East not only resist
state and capitalist barbarism, but take their lives in their hands by building from below a libertarian socialist alternative to the
dominant capitalist example. The imperialists are eyeing and craving this rich fillet of land, fighting and clashing with each other for
centuries, raising and lowering puppet governments of their own interests, to control the region's natural and energy resources, to open new
markets, to subjugate new markets. further the proletariat of the Middle East. In short, they promote their interests by any means, not
hesitating to bloodshed the peoples of the region.
The imperialists have painted their hands with the blood of the peoples. Depending on the circumstances, the respective power relations and
their disputed interests, they ally or conflict with each other. In any case, however, they are ruthlessly pounding the wintering social
base, that is, their class rival. For the past 2 years, the Turkish state has launched an uninterrupted operation to occupy positions in the
liberated area of Rozava. The attacks of the Turkish state continue to this day with the help, tolerance and consent of the international
imperialist forces and the Islamist gangs that act as mercenaries and vanguard of Turkey's militaristic interventions in Kurdistan.
Recently, the Turkish state has been waging a low-level war mainly against Kurdish resistance positions in the Rozawa liberated areas, the
self-governing refugee camp in Maxmur and the Yazidi Democratic Republic in the Sengal Mountains, all of which are governed by the
confederation. At the same time, however, it is bombing Basur / South Kurdistan, where it is attempting to invade militarily. These military
attacks by the Turkish state have claimed the lives of dozens of civilians and have forced thousands to flee. The forces of the Kurdish
guerrillas and the Kurdish guerrillas respond to the provocations and the deadly attacks of the Turkish state, defending the people and the
revolutionary endeavor of the democratic confederation. The war in the mountains of Kurdistan is raging non-stop, as is the Turkish
occupation of Kurdistan. The Turkish state has violated all international conventions and violated the ceasefire declared due to the
Covid-19 pandemic. The accomplices in the crime committed by the Turkish state for years, the capitalists and the states, are silent once
again, having first given one way or another the green light to the imperialist plans of the Turkish state and the bourgeoisie. of the class.
The alarm in defense of the revolution and its achievements never stops in Kurdistan. The American imperialists are already preparing to
establish in the hitherto self-governing region of the Sengal Mountains a submissive government that will live up to their demands. In this
endeavor, they have the good cooperation of the Iraqi state and the leader of the pro-imperialist Democratic Party of Kurdistan (KDP),
Massoud Barzani, who is in open conflict with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). The US intends to overthrow the social self-government
structures in the region, dismantle the popular militias and replace them with a mercenary army. In fact, as the Council of the Autonomous
Democratic Administration of Senegal warns, This plan is to be piloted first in the Senegal region and then extended to Rojava, in order to
suppress the revolutionary process there. In addition, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) say the Turkish state is preparing a new major
military operation against Rozawa, focusing on the city of Ain Isa. More and more forces of the Turkish army and the Islamists of the Syrian
National Army (SNA) are gathering in the area every day. Their attacks have so far been successfully repulsed by the Syrian Democratic
Forces (SDF). The Turkish state, however, is not going to give up its imperialist strategy, because it wants to immediately occupy the M4
highway, which starts from the Turkish border with Syria, It runs through Aleppo and Mosul and is connected by roads to Damascus and the
rest of the Arab world. The occupation of this highway will enable the Turkish siege of the cities of Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa, which are under
the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), while at the same time it will pave the way for the Turkish-requested oil transfer from
Kirkuk. and Deir er Zor to the Mediterranean.
The people of Kurdistan are a body of the body of the international proletariat. The social revolution in Rojava and the liberation struggle
of the democratic confederation radiate to all the oppressed and exploited the hope and at the same time the necessity for the revolutionary
transformation of the sovereign, capitalist social formation. To put pressure on the imperialist centers in every possible way, demanding
the immediate cessation of hostilities aimed at decimating the struggling Kurdish people. Practical international solidarity is currently
crucial to the survival of more than 2,000,000 people in northern and eastern Syria, but also to the continuation of the revolutionary
venture in Kurdistan.
Let us not, then, remain inactive in the face of the bloodthirsty action of the imperialists. To act locally, thinking internationally,
guided by internationalism, class solidarity and the revolutionary perspective. The Kurdish people, the People's Protection Units (YPG), the
Women's Self-Defense Units (YPJ) and the guerrilla units of internationalist militants, anarchists and communists, are not alone. We stand
by them for the victory of their just struggle, for the overthrow of fascism, the overthrow of capitalism, social liberation and peace, for
the freedom of all and the equality of all. Their struggle is also our struggle. For our part, we welcome the international mobilizations
and actions of solidarity with the struggling Kurdish people. Put revolutionary internationalism into practice!
So, in the context of the international call for a week of solidarity actions (November 1-8) in the Kurdish resistance and social revolution
in Rojava, which was publicly addressed by the international campaign RiseUp4Rojava and Kurdish liberation struggle organizations, we posted
Patras and Athens on Saturday 1/11 (International Resistance Day of Kompani).

Open call for the protest gathering in solidarity with the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa 7th November, at 14:00 in DAM square of
Amsterdam ---- The persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa is an former political prisoner with atheism view from Iran who was imprisoned by
Islamic regime for one year and half. On 2014, the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa, in the age of 16 was arrested by IRGC for a anti
Islamic and anti state public speech in his hight school known as Shahid Chamran of Iranian city of Zarghan. The persecuted anarchist Abtin
Parsa, even after his release from prison, came under pressure and control by the Islamic regime, that in 2016 escaped to Greece from Iran.
The presence of the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa in Greece was accompanied by threats from the Islamic regime, which repeatedly he was
threatened with death from various organizations and individuals affiliated with the Iranian Islamic regime.
In 2017, at the same time as the nationwide anti-state protests in Iran, the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa showed his solidarity with the
protests in a video message. A few days after this message of solidarity was published, the Iranian regime manipulated and edited this video
message and broadcasted it on national television to accuse the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa of teaching protesters how to make explosives.
The persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was granted political asylum at 2017 for a three-year staying in Greece. In the same year 2017, the
persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa joined the resistance movement in Greece, and began to struggle against the systematic oppression
perpetrated by the Greek state against society, especially immigrants. During these struggles, the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was
arrested and even tortured several times by the Greek state, including:
In July 2018, the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was tortured by Greek police for his political activities against the Greek state, during
which several parts of his body were seriously damaged and a vertebrae in his back was broken.
In January 2019, the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was arrested by Greek police on charges of using forged documents to leave Greece
illegally.
In August 2019, he was arrested next to his home by Greek police on charges of carrying a weapon while he had only a small paper cutter with
him. The persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa refused to give a criminal finger to the police in order to protest the way the police treated him
and other immigrants, and the court sentenced him to three months in prison and a fine of 180 euros.(suspended prison)
In November 2019, as the counter-terrorism police launched a large-scale operation to find clues to a revolutionary organization, his house
and several other anarchists were attacked by the counter-terrorism police. During the anti-terrorist police operation, an anarchist and
another person were imprisoned, and two other anarchists were arrested, both of whom are temporarily released. During the anti-terrorist
police raid on the house of persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa, all his asylum documents, which were in the house, along with his other
belongings, were confiscated by the anti-terrorist police.
In February 2020, the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was forced to leave Athens in a political decision to have a secret life in different
city to be away from police control due to the anti-terrorist police's excessive control over his home, movements and even personal connections.
On March 14, 2020, the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was charged with call for armed uprising, in fact because of his solidarity with
immigrants, which was covered as propaganda by various Greek television channels and newspapers against him.
Then, on March 30, 2020, the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was arrested by Greek anti-terrorist police on these charges against him.
While the political asylum of persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was nearing the end of its three-year term, various Greek newspapers quoted
the Greek Ministry of Immigration as saying that the political asylum of persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa had been revoked due to his arrest
on March 30, 2020.
After the Greek state revoked the political asylum of persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa, he fled Greece and applied for political asylum in
the Netherlands. A few weeks ago, the Dutch state rejected his political asylum application and intends to extradite him to Greece. If the
persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa is extradited to Greece, he may end up to Greek prisons or even extradited from Greece to the Islamic state
of Iran, where his life will no doubt be in serious danger. We demand the granting of Dutch political asylum to the persecuted anarchist
Abtin Parsa, and we oppose his extradition to Greece.

Feminism is an emancipatory struggle that concerns all women, above all those of the popular classes. However, they are few in number in
feminist movements. The opportunity to question the reasons for this reality and our libertarian feminist project. ---- Recent feminist
mobilizations have succeeded in bringing some of our demands into the media space. However, the feminist voices that we hear are most often
those of women engaged in political careers, or reformist associations. ---- Libertarian communists, we must participate in building and
carrying another feminist word. Our word, that of the women of the popular classes and of those who, oppressed by the patriarchy, will never
be represented by political and bourgeois elites.
However, this perspective obliges us to consider feminist discourses, their capacity to mobilize, in particular people a priori remote from
militant networks. During the period of mobilization of the yellow vests (where women were particularly present), we could see the rejection
of the term "feminist" by women who claimed to be "feminine".
Beyond the terms, women yellow vests organized themselves in general assemblies, in single-sex groups on social networks to discuss and
develop demands specific to their conditions as women (single mother at the RSA, caregiver, part-time imposed , having to face wage
inequality, non-sharing of tasks, gender-based violence, etc.). When demands are forged from below, the anti-capitalist, libertarian and
feminist articulation takes on its full meaning. But taking into account class and feminist demands is not the only issue. Women from the
working classes must also be able to speak out, to feel legitimate and heard.
These findings are not new. As early as the 1970s, African-American feminists, notably Bell Hooks, rose up to criticize a white and
bourgeois feminism disconnected from the social and material realities of African-American women. Anti-racist movements, but also LGBTI
struggles, have thus made it possible to point out that the category of women is not in itself sufficient to promote revolutionary feminism.
Patriarchal oppression is found at the crossroads of other oppressions (racist, LGBTIphobic, classist) which may involve specific demands.
Sexist and social injunctions
If all women are subjected to patriarchy, exploited, racialized, undocumented women from working-class neighborhoods suffer it even more.
Their interests are not the same as those of the leaders and the bosses, holding a liberal or even nationalist feminism which is not ours.
The low rate of unionization of women (only 10% of women in 2016), the few spaces to defend themselves, fight and show solidarity in the
workplace, reinforce the difficulties of precarious workers. How do you denounce the harassment or assaults of your boss and expose yourself
to dismissal when you are alone, not unionized, when you cannot afford to lose their job or to pay a lawyer ?
However, the games are not over in advance. The strikes by cleaning staff at the Ibis hotel in Batignolles which began in July 2019 are
continuing and negotiations on wages and working conditions are on track. In 2018, the employees of the Holiday Inn in Clichy had obtained
the end of the payment to the room, the elimination of transfers and a basket premium of 7.14 euros, after 111 days of strike.
First victims of the crisis
The oppressions within the couple add the burden of domestic and marital chores. During confinement last spring, this truth became glaring:
the women faced a double sentence. Not only did they have to continue working (there are more of them in the health, commerce and
maintenance professions), at the risk of being contaminated and of infecting their loved ones, for lack of suitable protection and safety
instructions. clear hygiene. But they also struggled in the management of children and household chores (even more unequally distributed
under the Covid-19).
The complexity of the relationship with the education system for those who have had little education, but who nevertheless bear the
responsibility of supporting the academic success of their children, sometimes arouses the class contempt of an educational institution
formatted on the model of dominant and intellectual classes.
The relationship to education and domestic tasks also exists "among others". Many working-class women work for better-off families
(babysitters, housework, etc.) who do not want to be relegated to the role of housewife. Their income and social status gives them the
opportunity to exploit other women for their own empowerment.
Finally, it is women who are the least well paid, more often in precarious jobs. The impact of the Covid-19 crisis threatens the jobs of
women more than those of men, almost twice as much according to the survey carried out by McKinsey [1]. Women represent 39% of jobs held
worldwide but represent 54% of jobs lost worldwide due to Covid-19. The reasons given are both the omnipresence of women in the most
affected sectors of activity (tourism, commerce) but also the increase in unpaid domestic work during confinement and a lesser return to
working life during deconfinement. .
Neither heroines nor victims: in struggle !
The question is not so much the one that left movements often ask themselves, namely "how to mobilize the popular classes ?" », Thus denying
their struggles which are already developing within them. Feminist questions are already crossing the movements of the popular classes,
whether they unite around police violence, anti-racism, work ...
Little highlighted in the media and in struggles, women from the working classes are often represented as incapable of fighting and
organizing. One of the factors is the propensity to generate interpersonal skills and jargon which require a high cultural capital or even a
high academic background to integrate these groups. This should not be the case with the necessarily inclusive anti-patriarchy without class
contempt.
The other question is that of the geographic location of mass and class organizations in working-class neighborhoods. The fabric of unions,
political parties, associations and collectives of struggle has gradually dissolved in these neighborhoods, and setting up again requires a
long investment.
Our feminism is popular and libertarian. Proud and angry, we refuse to be the victims of the health crisis of capital. By regrouping, taking
the streets and places of power, like Mexican women around the issue of feminicides, putting pressure on bosses, such as CGT strikers and
unionists from the Ibis des Batignolles, by organizing the anger of women, of all women, we will build the popular offensive.

Barely fifteen days after the horrific assassination of Samuel Paty , a man, again claiming to be Islamic fundamentalism, killed three
people in Nice on Thursday, October 29. The entire UCL is repelled by these new murders and wants to express its condolences here to the
families of the victims and their loved ones. The assassins who kill here like Daesh in Syria are among our worst enemies and all the
progressive forces must make a bulwark against their criminal acts. ---- It is indeed our Kurdish comrades and international volunteers who
are fighting against Daesh. It is indeed the progressive camp, here described as Islamo-leftist, which fights there. What is the French
state doing to help them, which claims to want to fight against fundamentalism ?
The battle passes through the struggle against the imperialism of our own country, by the internationalist struggle with our Kurdish
comrades, by the anti-racist struggle in France, by and for the construction of a true unity of our social camp.
We must defend ourselves against reactionaries, Islamists or identitarians, who feed each other on the divisions and hatred they feed. The
spiral of terror that France seems to be sinking into is fraught with threats to our freedoms and to our solidarity.
Already the racist and Islamophobic instrumentalizations of the murder of Samuel Paty had been almost immediate. The amalgamation with
terrorists is very broad and gives rise to deliberately abusive searches or the threat of dissolution of an association for the defense of
human rights such as the CCIF.
Through the voice of the Darmanin or Blanquer ministers, through that of reactionary editorialists relayed in the mainstream media, these
instrumentalizations and amalgamations deliver to vindict a whole part of the population, of Muslim religion or considered as such:
degradations or threats in places of worship, attacks against women wearing headscarves have already occurred for two weeks.
Until the handgun threat of a Maghrebian trader in Avignon this same Thursday, October 29 by a man close to or a member of the fascist
organization Generation Identity who was shot and killed by the police. Will the Minister of the Interior take the measure of this threat
from the far right ? Will he ask to dissolve Generation Identity ?
Everything indicates in fact that the government is much more sensitive to the martial demands of the right and the far right, which now
calls for "war measures".
In full escalation, the government widens the amalgam to unions like SUD-Education or the UNEF, attacks the Observatory of secularism,
designates the alleged "Islamo-leftists" as accomplices of the terrorists.
Faced with the rise in perils, UCL reaffirms its desire to preserve existing democratic freedoms, already so weakened since the introduction
into ordinary law of emergency measures in 2015.
The UCL calls above all to strengthen popular solidarities, those which unite us instead of dividing us, particularly in this period of
health and social crisis.
We do not forget that those who handle racism and Islamophobia today are those who maintain "real separatism": that of social inequalities
and racist discrimination.
The UCL and its activists are available to build, with all the unions, associations, collectives and political organizations which also
consider it urgent, a broad united front of solidarity and equality in the face of hatred and to racism.
We will not be divided.

In July 2018, the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was tortured by Greek police for his political activities against the Greek state, during
which several parts of his body were seriously damaged and a vertebrae in his back was broken.
In January 2019, the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was arrested by Greek police on charges of using forged documents to leave Greece
illegally.
In August 2019, he was arrested next to his home by Greek police on charges of carrying a weapon while he had only a small paper cutter with
him. The persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa refused to give a criminal finger to the police in order to protest the way the police treated him
and other immigrants, and the court sentenced him to three months in prison and a fine of 180 euros.(suspended prison)
In November 2019, as the counter-terrorism police launched a large-scale operation to find clues to a revolutionary organization, his house
and several other anarchists were attacked by the counter-terrorism police. During the anti-terrorist police operation, an anarchist and
another person were imprisoned, and two other anarchists were arrested, both of whom are temporarily released. During the anti-terrorist
police raid on the house of persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa, all his asylum documents, which were in the house, along with his other
belongings, were confiscated by the anti-terrorist police.
In February 2020, the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was forced to leave Athens in a political decision to have a secret life in different
city to be away from police control due to the anti-terrorist police's excessive control over his home, movements and even personal connections.
On March 14, 2020, the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was charged with call for armed uprising, in fact because of his solidarity with
immigrants, which was covered as propaganda by various Greek television channels and newspapers against him.
Then, on March 30, 2020, the persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was arrested by Greek anti-terrorist police on these charges against him.
While the political asylum of persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa was nearing the end of its three-year term, various Greek newspapers quoted
the Greek Ministry of Immigration as saying that the political asylum of persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa had been revoked due to his arrest
on March 30, 2020.
After the Greek state revoked the political asylum of persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa, he fled Greece and applied for political asylum in
the Netherlands. A few weeks ago, the Dutch state rejected his political asylum application and intends to extradite him to Greece. If the
persecuted anarchist Abtin Parsa is extradited to Greece, he may end up to Greek prisons or even extradited from Greece to the Islamic state
of Iran, where his life will no doubt be in serious danger. We demand the granting of Dutch political asylum to the persecuted anarchist
Abtin Parsa, and we oppose his extradition to Greece.

Feminism is an emancipatory struggle that concerns all women, above all those of the popular classes. However, they are few in number in
feminist movements. The opportunity to question the reasons for this reality and our libertarian feminist project. ---- Recent feminist
mobilizations have succeeded in bringing some of our demands into the media space. However, the feminist voices that we hear are most often
those of women engaged in political careers, or reformist associations. ---- Libertarian communists, we must participate in building and
carrying another feminist word. Our word, that of the women of the popular classes and of those who, oppressed by the patriarchy, will never
be represented by political and bourgeois elites.
However, this perspective obliges us to consider feminist discourses, their capacity to mobilize, in particular people a priori remote from
militant networks. During the period of mobilization of the yellow vests (where women were particularly present), we could see the rejection
of the term "feminist" by women who claimed to be "feminine".
Beyond the terms, women yellow vests organized themselves in general assemblies, in single-sex groups on social networks to discuss and
develop demands specific to their conditions as women (single mother at the RSA, caregiver, part-time imposed , having to face wage
inequality, non-sharing of tasks, gender-based violence, etc.). When demands are forged from below, the anti-capitalist, libertarian and
feminist articulation takes on its full meaning. But taking into account class and feminist demands is not the only issue. Women from the
working classes must also be able to speak out, to feel legitimate and heard.
These findings are not new. As early as the 1970s, African-American feminists, notably Bell Hooks, rose up to criticize a white and
bourgeois feminism disconnected from the social and material realities of African-American women. Anti-racist movements, but also LGBTI
struggles, have thus made it possible to point out that the category of women is not in itself sufficient to promote revolutionary feminism.
Patriarchal oppression is found at the crossroads of other oppressions (racist, LGBTIphobic, classist) which may involve specific demands.
Sexist and social injunctions
If all women are subjected to patriarchy, exploited, racialized, undocumented women from working-class neighborhoods suffer it even more.
Their interests are not the same as those of the leaders and the bosses, holding a liberal or even nationalist feminism which is not ours.
The low rate of unionization of women (only 10% of women in 2016), the few spaces to defend themselves, fight and show solidarity in the
workplace, reinforce the difficulties of precarious workers. How do you denounce the harassment or assaults of your boss and expose yourself
to dismissal when you are alone, not unionized, when you cannot afford to lose their job or to pay a lawyer ?
However, the games are not over in advance. The strikes by cleaning staff at the Ibis hotel in Batignolles which began in July 2019 are
continuing and negotiations on wages and working conditions are on track. In 2018, the employees of the Holiday Inn in Clichy had obtained
the end of the payment to the room, the elimination of transfers and a basket premium of 7.14 euros, after 111 days of strike.
First victims of the crisis
The oppressions within the couple add the burden of domestic and marital chores. During confinement last spring, this truth became glaring:
the women faced a double sentence. Not only did they have to continue working (there are more of them in the health, commerce and
maintenance professions), at the risk of being contaminated and of infecting their loved ones, for lack of suitable protection and safety
instructions. clear hygiene. But they also struggled in the management of children and household chores (even more unequally distributed
under the Covid-19).
The complexity of the relationship with the education system for those who have had little education, but who nevertheless bear the
responsibility of supporting the academic success of their children, sometimes arouses the class contempt of an educational institution
formatted on the model of dominant and intellectual classes.
The relationship to education and domestic tasks also exists "among others". Many working-class women work for better-off families
(babysitters, housework, etc.) who do not want to be relegated to the role of housewife. Their income and social status gives them the
opportunity to exploit other women for their own empowerment.
Finally, it is women who are the least well paid, more often in precarious jobs. The impact of the Covid-19 crisis threatens the jobs of
women more than those of men, almost twice as much according to the survey carried out by McKinsey [1]. Women represent 39% of jobs held
worldwide but represent 54% of jobs lost worldwide due to Covid-19. The reasons given are both the omnipresence of women in the most
affected sectors of activity (tourism, commerce) but also the increase in unpaid domestic work during confinement and a lesser return to
working life during deconfinement. .
Neither heroines nor victims: in struggle !
The question is not so much the one that left movements often ask themselves, namely "how to mobilize the popular classes ?" », Thus denying
their struggles which are already developing within them. Feminist questions are already crossing the movements of the popular classes,
whether they unite around police violence, anti-racism, work ...
Little highlighted in the media and in struggles, women from the working classes are often represented as incapable of fighting and
organizing. One of the factors is the propensity to generate interpersonal skills and jargon which require a high cultural capital or even a
high academic background to integrate these groups. This should not be the case with the necessarily inclusive anti-patriarchy without class
contempt.
The other question is that of the geographic location of mass and class organizations in working-class neighborhoods. The fabric of unions,
political parties, associations and collectives of struggle has gradually dissolved in these neighborhoods, and setting up again requires a
long investment.
Our feminism is popular and libertarian. Proud and angry, we refuse to be the victims of the health crisis of capital. By regrouping, taking
the streets and places of power, like Mexican women around the issue of feminicides, putting pressure on bosses, such as CGT strikers and
unionists from the Ibis des Batignolles, by organizing the anger of women, of all women, we will build the popular offensive.

Barely fifteen days after the horrific assassination of Samuel Paty , a man, again claiming to be Islamic fundamentalism, killed three
people in Nice on Thursday, October 29. The entire UCL is repelled by these new murders and wants to express its condolences here to the
families of the victims and their loved ones. The assassins who kill here like Daesh in Syria are among our worst enemies and all the
progressive forces must make a bulwark against their criminal acts. ---- It is indeed our Kurdish comrades and international volunteers who
are fighting against Daesh. It is indeed the progressive camp, here described as Islamo-leftist, which fights there. What is the French
state doing to help them, which claims to want to fight against fundamentalism ?
The battle passes through the struggle against the imperialism of our own country, by the internationalist struggle with our Kurdish
comrades, by the anti-racist struggle in France, by and for the construction of a true unity of our social camp.
We must defend ourselves against reactionaries, Islamists or identitarians, who feed each other on the divisions and hatred they feed. The
spiral of terror that France seems to be sinking into is fraught with threats to our freedoms and to our solidarity.
Already the racist and Islamophobic instrumentalizations of the murder of Samuel Paty had been almost immediate. The amalgamation with
terrorists is very broad and gives rise to deliberately abusive searches or the threat of dissolution of an association for the defense of
human rights such as the CCIF.
Through the voice of the Darmanin or Blanquer ministers, through that of reactionary editorialists relayed in the mainstream media, these
instrumentalizations and amalgamations deliver to vindict a whole part of the population, of Muslim religion or considered as such:
degradations or threats in places of worship, attacks against women wearing headscarves have already occurred for two weeks.
Until the handgun threat of a Maghrebian trader in Avignon this same Thursday, October 29 by a man close to or a member of the fascist
organization Generation Identity who was shot and killed by the police. Will the Minister of the Interior take the measure of this threat
from the far right ? Will he ask to dissolve Generation Identity ?
Everything indicates in fact that the government is much more sensitive to the martial demands of the right and the far right, which now
calls for "war measures".
In full escalation, the government widens the amalgam to unions like SUD-Education or the UNEF, attacks the Observatory of secularism,
designates the alleged "Islamo-leftists" as accomplices of the terrorists.
Faced with the rise in perils, UCL reaffirms its desire to preserve existing democratic freedoms, already so weakened since the introduction
into ordinary law of emergency measures in 2015.
The UCL calls above all to strengthen popular solidarities, those which unite us instead of dividing us, particularly in this period of
health and social crisis.
We do not forget that those who handle racism and Islamophobia today are those who maintain "real separatism": that of social inequalities
and racist discrimination.
The UCL and its activists are available to build, with all the unions, associations, collectives and political organizations which also
consider it urgent, a broad united front of solidarity and equality in the face of hatred and to racism.
We will not be divided.
