On November 28, at the call of unions - including, in particular, those of
journalists -, associations for the defense of human rights and political
organizations (including the UCL), hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated
across the country against the Comprehensive Security Law (LSG). ---- Across the
country, Libertarian Communist Union groups have participated in the rebellion
against the Comprehensive Security Law. On December 12, they supported the
convergence with the protest against the separatism law. In Île-de-France, they
denounced the aggression committed on December 5 against the union procession by
a group of demonstrators who believed themselves to be very radical.
It was sometimes a real human tide. It must be said that the racist beating of
Michel Zecler, on November 21, had electrified the climate. Because the crime of
the barbarians in uniform was filmed, the state was forced to admit the facts. No
video, no Zecler case. This is what the KJV seeks to hinder.
Paris, November 28.
Mont-de-Marsan.
On December 5, the protests against the LSG joined the demonstrations against
unemployment and dismissals, and were violently suppressed.

We, anarchists, are not supporters of Alexei Navalny and do not share his
position on many issues. However, we, like hundreds of thousands of people
throughout Russia, come out on January 31 against the authoritarian regime and
for the freedom to determine our own lives. ---- We demand the release of all who
are persecuted for political reasons. Among other things, it is necessary to stop
the cases in which our comrades (or those whom the FSB classifies as anarchists)
are being repressed right now: ---- The Network case: 10 young people in St.
Petersburg and Penza were sentenced to terms from 3.5 to 18 years on charges of
terrorism: they sometimes played airsoft and discussed the political situation in
the country.
The case of Azat Miftakhov: a graduate student of Moscow State University,
received 6 six years in prison on charges of complicity in breaking a window in
the regional office of United Russia in Moscow.
The case of Yevgeny Karakashev: a civil activist from Yevpatoria, received 6
years in prison for correspondence in closed chats on VKontakte.
The case of Kirill Kuzminkin: a high school student from Moscow, accused of arms
trafficking due to experiments with pyrotechnics. He was in jail, now under
recognizance not to leave, the trial is underway.
"Case of the Kansk teenagers": three schoolchildren from the Krasnoyarsk
Territory are accused of terrorist activities for experiments with pyrotechnics,
distribution of anarchist leaflets, correspondence on VKontakte and plans to blow
up the virtual FSB building in the computer game Minecraft.
An end to political persecution is the most important condition for the normal
development of society. Let's work together to achieve the opportunity to live
without fear of arrest for our beliefs!

This week was the annual "Bell Let's Talk" campaign day. The large Canadian
company, one of the biggest players in the telecommunications field in the
country with a turnover of nearly $ 24 million in 2019, proposed a form of "civic
engagement" for the mental health of Canadians and Canadians by adding hashtags
to their posts or by texting. If we consult the web page of this campaign, we can
see that it is defined according to 4 pillars which are: "the fight against
stigma, care and access, research and health at work". Beyond the mirage of the
brand's preoccupation with the "cause", we are not only far from the score, but
also quite the opposite; seeing such a campaign has negative effects.
At first glance, we must lift the curtain of alienation. We are not paradoxically
close to such a campaign. Bell talks and talks with its almost unlimited means of
communication, but we remain in a system where unemployment, exploitation,
exclusion and oppression constitute conditions for its social reproduction. Not
too much of a mental health help, let's say. There is no shortage of
illustrations for these words, but I will choose only one for brevity. The future
is bright for the more than 1,400 Bell call center employees in Canada who have
lost their jobs in recent decades due to relocation[1]... Ok.
All this pathetic campaign masks not only the deleterious effects of an operating
system, but also a progressive privatization of the services offered by the State
in this matter. The austerity and the disengagement of the state in the public
services continue its course, leaving aside the people who have the least means
and the most marginalized. Rather than supporting a massive refinancing of public
services, a refinancing that would depend on an increase in the taxation of these
large companies, the private sector prefers to take more place in public issues
(at least in terms of image because the needs are constantly increasing. increase
and are not more satisfied, quite the contrary). We can currently observe an
acceleration of this load shedding with the pretext of the lack of means (created
artificially) in the context of Covid-19 and confinements. In the school network
marked by a very severe shortage, while the government remains inflexible in the
face of psychologists in the network who are asking for salary increases that do
not even reach the rise in the cost of living, it has just offered remuneration
for psychologists from the private sector coming in handy reaching more than
double those of the public[2]. The already well advanced desertion of
psychologists from the public network can only accelerate frightfully. The
paradox remains astounding between intentions and realities (see While the
government remains inflexible in the face of network psychologists who demand

question so invisible in the public space, everything goes almost in silence.
Ultimately, it is good to question the real intentions of companies like Bell who
are remaking their brand image through philanthropy. Such companies are at the
root of the problems and the false visibility that one might think offered to
them through these campaigns alienates us more than anything else.

We, anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists, consider it completely unacceptable for
ourselves to take any part in political shows organized by supporters of the
right-wing populist Navalny, who is sadly "famous" for his openly nationalist,
anti-immigrant, anti-Caucasian and anti-Semitic statements. To march in the ranks
of the demonstrations they convened would mean - regardless of any excuses or
"explanations" - to turn into the back of one of the political gangs waging a
dirty and unprincipled struggle for power. ---- We, as anarchists, believe that
both the current authoritarian regime in the Kremlin, which became the successor
of Yeltsin's neoliberal clique, and the opposing group led by Navalny, which is
now seeking to seize the leadership of the entire mass of disaffected, are just
the spokesmen for the interests of the country's true rulers. - the dominant
Oligarchy and its "Iron Heel". Supporting any of these camps completely
contradicts our anarchist convictions and our social revolutionary goal.
Participation in the struggle for power between various parties, coalitions and
cliques, the transfer of more than justified social discontent of people into the
rotten channel of politicking only distracts the working class from the struggle
for its true social interests, from the awakening of the labor class
consciousness and, ultimately,
We, anarchists, stand for the immediate and unconditional release of all
anarchist, left-wing radical and social prisoners who are languishing today in
the dungeons of the Oligarchy. But we are convinced that such a result must be
achieved on our own, without turning into actual voluntary or involuntary
servants of certain alien contenders for political power for the sake of
continuing the same anti-social and neoliberal policy in the interests of
Capital. We cannot fight side by side with those who did not interfere with the
total privatization and destruction of affordable health care and education, who
did not oppose the anti-human pension reform, who last year supported the
introduction of a universal terrorist system of surveillance and house arrest
under the pretext of "fighting the epidemic ". There is no "lesser evil" for us,
No political struggle - for social resistance!

No to National Universal Service ! Recruitment propaganda has resumed, in the

---- Sarah El Haïry, Secretary of State to the Minister of National Education and

years old. ---- To the question of an editor of the newspaper Le Parisien: "In
front of high school students, in October, you sang"the Marseillaise"... alone,
after having hooked up with them on the subject of secularism. Is it with the
blows of the tricolor that we make citizens ?"
Sarah El Haïry replied: "I consider that singing"the Marseillaise"and giving
respect to the flag are part of a moment of citizen unity. So if, during the
stay, a young person refuses to sing "the Marseillaise", to attend the raising of
the colors, or to wear the uniform, he will still have to comply" .

The questioning of workers' rights

The strengthening of militarization
The "social cohesion" praised by the promoters of the SNU is a dangerous hoax
within the framework of a system which is based on the exploitation of the
majority of the population by a minority, sexism, racism or militarism. Social
cohesion is only conceivable in the context of a society based on the values of
democracy and solidarity, the culture of peace.

"Faced with the failure of other conceptions of socialism, anarchism can today,
in the face of history, claim its right to develop its model in society. Of
course, this can only be done within history, but not within the current power,
which must be defeated, since it will not fall on its own. In our view, this
power must be fought with blood and fire." ---- Juan Carlos Mechoso, Uruguayan
Anarchist Federation (fAu) ---- 2020 was a year of a lot of struggle, but even
more challenging. The covid-19 pandemic hit our people across the country, and
had a profound impact on the reality of all, especially those below, the people
at the bottom of the social pyramid. The year ends with almost 200 thousand
people killed by the disease (we know that the real numbers are even higher), in
addition to millions affected by unemployment, the increase in poverty and
hunger, and by the various forms of state violence.
As revolutionary anarchist militants, we were not unaware of all this, and since
the beginning we have mobilized in the workplaces, study and housing, in the
ravines of cities fighting for Decent Life, in solidarity efforts, in
demonstrations demanding public policies or denouncing violence police, for the
right to isolation with dignified conditions, and also to confront the extreme
right in the streets.
A little of our struggle and our political stance in 2020 are in this booklet,
which rescues CAB's notes released during the year. There are more than 50 texts
that represent both immediate positions in the face of the situation, as well as
the maturing of theoretical and political reflections that we have been doing for
some years. Questions about union struggle, anti-racism, feminism and LGBTQI +
agendas, the agrarian issue and indigenous resistance, among others, are
materialized in this compilation of a year of struggles. The texts also show the
progress of our internationalism, through the Latin American Anarchist
Coordination, and through an international network of anarchist organizations,
located on the 5 continents.
It is eight years since the congress that founded the Brazilian Anarchist
Coordination, and we can say that, despite the difficulties, we continue to
rebuild militant anarchism in the country, strengthening the struggles of our
people, at the same time that we work in coordinating the work between the
organizations and the fronts of struggle. With humility and steps according to
our legs, we walk shoulder to shoulder with the oppressed classes in the
destruction of this system and in the construction of a new society!
Good reading!

We are happy to announce that there will be an Anarchist Book Fair Amsterdam in
the spring of 2021. The location will be announced later. But it will be in
Amsterdam and it definitely will be anarchist! ---- Even though the past year has
stood in the shadow of a global pandemic and other horrifying developments, we've
also seen a resurgence of resistance and struggle. We want to use the Anarchist
Book Fair Amsterdam to give a platform to these struggles, learn from them and
help them grow. ---- We're glad that we were able to organize something in
November 2020. And also amazed to see how many people wanted to come, act
responsibly at the event and all the support that we've gotten. But it still felt
different, obviously. That is why we want to try to organize an anarchist book
fair in the spring of 2021. We are trying to have it at an outside location so we
can be with a bit more people, while still acting in a responsible way during
this pandemic.
The 2021 spring edition book fair will have many stands, an extensive workshop
schedule and hopefully much more! Are you, or do you know people that run a
distro or want to give a workshop? Please let us know!
We also want to work on ways to make the event more accessible. We are still
working on this, but a more thorough announcement about this will follow. If you
want to help us with the accessibility in any way, please let us know.

No to National Universal Service ! Recruitment propaganda has resumed, in the
written press, on the radio, on television, on the web, in schools and in the
prefectures. The government wants 25,000 volunteers in 2021. The Unitary Campaign
against the SNU, in which the UCL is a stakeholder, reaffirms its opposition.
---- Sarah El Haïry, Secretary of State to the Minister of National Education and
Sports, in charge of Youth and Engagement, has just reaffirmed that the Universal
National Service (SNU) would be compulsory in 2026, for 800,000 young people 16
years old. ---- To the question of an editor of the newspaper Le Parisien: "In
front of high school students, in October, you sang"the Marseillaise"... alone,
after having hooked up with them on the subject of secularism. Is it with the
blows of the tricolor that we make citizens ?"
Sarah El Haïry replied: "I consider that singing"the Marseillaise"and giving
respect to the flag are part of a moment of citizen unity. So if, during the
stay, a young person refuses to sing "the Marseillaise", to attend the raising of
the colors, or to wear the uniform, he will still have to comply" .

For a year, in the health and social conditions that we know, young people have
not failed to "getinvolved": through solidarity operations organized in many
neighborhoods and villages, through the exercise of their social professions.
useful, or by demonstrating against the decline of individual and collective
rights or to defend our environment.
They and they did not wait for the injunctions of the State to do it. On the
contrary, it was a question of responding to government shortcomings. For their
social commitment, many of these young people have even been repressed,
prosecuted, punished.
The Universal National Service is:
A youth submission operation
The questioning of workers' rights
Considerable expenses
The strengthening of militarization
The "social cohesion" praised by the promoters of the SNU is a dangerous hoax
within the framework of a system which is based on the exploitation of the
majority of the population by a minority, sexism, racism or militarism. Social
cohesion is only conceivable in the context of a society based on the values of
democracy and solidarity, the culture of peace.

"Faced with the failure of other conceptions of socialism, anarchism can today,
in the face of history, claim its right to develop its model in society. Of
course, this can only be done within history, but not within the current power,
which must be defeated, since it will not fall on its own. In our view, this
power must be fought with blood and fire." ---- Juan Carlos Mechoso, Uruguayan
Anarchist Federation (fAu) ---- 2020 was a year of a lot of struggle, but even
more challenging. The covid-19 pandemic hit our people across the country, and
had a profound impact on the reality of all, especially those below, the people
at the bottom of the social pyramid. The year ends with almost 200 thousand
people killed by the disease (we know that the real numbers are even higher), in
addition to millions affected by unemployment, the increase in poverty and
hunger, and by the various forms of state violence.
As revolutionary anarchist militants, we were not unaware of all this, and since
the beginning we have mobilized in the workplaces, study and housing, in the
ravines of cities fighting for Decent Life, in solidarity efforts, in
demonstrations demanding public policies or denouncing violence police, for the
right to isolation with dignified conditions, and also to confront the extreme
right in the streets.
A little of our struggle and our political stance in 2020 are in this booklet,
which rescues CAB's notes released during the year. There are more than 50 texts
that represent both immediate positions in the face of the situation, as well as
the maturing of theoretical and political reflections that we have been doing for
some years. Questions about union struggle, anti-racism, feminism and LGBTQI +
agendas, the agrarian issue and indigenous resistance, among others, are
materialized in this compilation of a year of struggles. The texts also show the
progress of our internationalism, through the Latin American Anarchist
Coordination, and through an international network of anarchist organizations,
located on the 5 continents.
It is eight years since the congress that founded the Brazilian Anarchist
Coordination, and we can say that, despite the difficulties, we continue to
rebuild militant anarchism in the country, strengthening the struggles of our
people, at the same time that we work in coordinating the work between the
organizations and the fronts of struggle. With humility and steps according to
our legs, we walk shoulder to shoulder with the oppressed classes in the
destruction of this system and in the construction of a new society!
Good reading!

We are happy to announce that there will be an Anarchist Book Fair Amsterdam in
the spring of 2021. The location will be announced later. But it will be in
Amsterdam and it definitely will be anarchist! ---- Even though the past year has
stood in the shadow of a global pandemic and other horrifying developments, we've
also seen a resurgence of resistance and struggle. We want to use the Anarchist
Book Fair Amsterdam to give a platform to these struggles, learn from them and
help them grow. ---- We're glad that we were able to organize something in
November 2020. And also amazed to see how many people wanted to come, act
responsibly at the event and all the support that we've gotten. But it still felt
different, obviously. That is why we want to try to organize an anarchist book
fair in the spring of 2021. We are trying to have it at an outside location so we
can be with a bit more people, while still acting in a responsible way during
this pandemic.
The 2021 spring edition book fair will have many stands, an extensive workshop
schedule and hopefully much more! Are you, or do you know people that run a
distro or want to give a workshop? Please let us know!
We also want to work on ways to make the event more accessible. We are still
working on this, but a more thorough announcement about this will follow. If you
want to help us with the accessibility in any way, please let us know.
