Earlier in the week, the Leftist Club of Ostrava organized a series of
lectures on current topics of the present. On Monday, May 12, the event
was also attended by a representative of the Ostrava cell of the
Czechoslovak Anarchist Association (CAS), who briefly presented the
activities of CAS and the circumstances of its establishment. He then
introduced Casák, which is published by the Prague group, in particular
the thematic issue dedicated to anarchist theory and an issue on anarchy
in practice. He also briefly talked about the anti-militaristic magazine
Dezertér, the ongoing collection for war deserters, and the actions
against the genocide in Gaza. The aforementioned printed materials were
also available at the event.
The individual speakers were inspiring. Professor František Varadzin
spoke about the current decline of American hegemony, in the context of
which we will more easily understand the fascism of the USA under the
leadership of Donald Trump, which is surprising to many. He also
mentioned the ways in which states have defended themselves against
American economic pressure in the past and emphasized the key role of
China in the current global economy. Ostrava activist Petr Rohel spoke
about the concept of the transnational ruling class according to William
Robinson's theory, which draws attention to the ever-sharpening
contradictions of global capitalism. Jan Májícek from Socialist
Solidarity finally analyzed the current class struggles, which, despite
the lack of interest from the domestic media, are taking place
especially in the USA, where new trade unions are emerging. He
emphasized that anti-fascism must not be some kind of noble moral
stance, but a logical requirement of the unity of workers in opposition
to the unity of capital. The ensuing debate showed that the topics that
can bring the radical left to the forefront may be fascism, climate
change, and especially the housing crisis.
