WORLD WORLDWIDE ITALY SICILIA - news journal UPDATE - (en) Italy, Sicilia Libertaria: Palermo. Against all wars (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]
On Saturday 24 February, in conjunction with the great demonstration in
Milan for Palestine, and on the occasion of the second anniversary of
the outbreak of the war between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, a
beautiful, large and colorful initiative took place in the Guadagna
district of Palermo, the southern outskirts of city. ---- Hundreds of
people welcomed the appeal of the NoGuerra Assembly to contest the
"Leonardo spa" death factory. In a few months this was the third
demonstration that crossed the streets of the Guadagna district which
hosts the industry.
Furthermore, the procession of the 24th was preceded, again in Palermo,
on the morning of Thursday 22 February by a demonstration in front of
the US consulate and in the afternoon of the same day by a second in
front of the consulate of the Russian Federation, both promoted by
NoGuerra Assembly.
Several hundred demonstrators (from 400 to 500 according to most
estimates), many young people and many women, animated a colorful
procession which from Piazza Guadagna wound through the streets of the
neighborhood up to the gates of Leonardo.
Many people from the sidewalks and balconies followed the demonstration.
From the microphones of the van that opened the procession, various
speakers took turns explaining the reasons for the protest to the citizens.
The killing activity of Leonardo, the first European war industry and
the sixth world war industry, has been loudly denounced, which with its
electronic systems, its weapons, its means and instruments of death is
present in the conflict in Palestine , as in Kurdistan and Ukraine.
Leonardo spa which last year had a turnover of almost 15 billion euros
in the sale of death systems. Leonardo which with its subsidiaries
manages the IT and radar systems in both Israel and Turkey.
The clear rejection of wars between nation states, wars that fatten
capitalists of all sides, was loudly reiterated from the microphones.
The support and support for the deserters on all fronts was shouted out
loudly. Whether they are Russian, Ukrainian or Israeli. The repudiation
of war which causes suffering, destruction and misery among populations
was reiterated unanimously. To date, the genocide perpetrated by the
Israeli army has caused almost 30,000 civilian victims in Gaza alone,
half of which are children.
Full support was reiterated for the Palestinian resisters who are
opposing the policy of genocide perpetrated by the Netanyahu government
and implemented by the Israeli army. Resistance which can be the
prerequisite for the creation of a unique, multi-ethnic, secular and
democratic Palestine. A Palestine divorced from both Jewish and Muslim
religious fundamentalism. A Palestine that can transform the present of
hatred and abuse into a future of democratic coexistence and peace.
Full closeness was also expressed to the students of Pisa and Florence
who were violently attacked by the police forces during demonstrations
of solidarity with the Palestinian people subjected to genocide.
Finally, the repudiation of the war is closely linked to the battle to
free the Sicilian territory from the military bases of both NATO and the
United States of America, starting with the dismantling of the MUOS in
Niscemi and the conversion of the NATO air base in Sigonella into a
civil airport .
The initiative ended with an open microphone in front of the gates of
Leonardo spa, where puppets were placed recalling the thousands of
children who died under Israeli bombs in Gaza.

WORLD WORLDWIDE FRANCE - news journal UPDATE - (en) France, UCL AL #347 - Antipatriarchy, The place of UCL in the trans movement (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]
During the second congress of the Libertarian Communist Union in 2023,
we voted for a political orientation motion called "For a trans
counter-offensive", available on our website. Here is the second part in
a shortened and reworked version for the newspaper, which details our
positions. ---- The trans activist movement is crossed by ideological
and strategic differences. We distinguish in particular two major
analysis grids: queer models and materialist models. It is important to
position ourselves as a revolutionary organization and to specify what
materialism we claim exactly.
For a non-dogmatic materialist analysis
Taking trans experiences into account has led to a divide within
materialist feminism. Part of the movement now called TERF (for "radical
feminists excluding trans people") attempted to justify transphobic
positions using a materialist analysis. We affirm that this movement has
essentialized its analysis and has therefore come into contradiction
with basic principles of materialism.
He advocates a biological and non-social origin of the oppression of
women, and insists on the insurmountable nature of "primary
socialization", that is to say behaviors instilled in young childhood.
On the contrary, the current analysis of the Libertarian Communist Union
is to consider two sex classes, "men" and "women", to which each
individual is assigned by a social mechanism, imposed by society. This
assignment does not take place just once at birth but throughout life,
with each social interaction. Sex classes allow the exploitation of the
class of women by that of men, and patriarchal society imposes their
binary and rigidity to do so.
Trans people are oppressed specifically by the patriarchy because they
contravene these principles. The very process of class mobility -
becoming gender class defectors - is an affront to the binary of the
system. Transphobia is the oppression punishing these slights. Trans
women in particular see their social position degrade from the first
steps of transition and are subject to transmisogyny through the
intersection of misogyny and transphobia. Trans men are subject to
logics of infantilization.
Trans struggles are therefore an integral part of anti-patriarchal
struggles, and trans women are an integral part of feminist struggles.
We reject essentializing positions. We analyze that the place of each
individual in the patriarchal system of oppression does not depend on
their biology or their past socialization, but on their present social
position. We respect and support trans people in their transition by
considering them their desired gender. Our struggle aims to abolish this
system and its sex classes.
A part of the trans movement, which also often claims to be materialist,
advocates that transidentity is a mental condition for which medical
transition is the remedy. This trend, called transmedicalism, generally
advocates for maintaining the psychiatrization of transition pathways:
it is more strategic than ideological, the idea being to present
transidentity in a way that would make it more acceptable to the
patriarchal system.
If we are sensitive to the fears and individual strategies of trans
people to obtain access to care, we reject transmedicalism as a
political strategy. We judge in fact that it cannot protect us either
from the reactionary backlash or from patriarchy as a whole, which it
does not allow us to combat. Depsychiatrization is for us a central
demand of trans struggles.
For peaceful unitary work
The majority of the trans movement adopts analytical frameworks from
queer theories. We have points of agreement but also political
disagreements with them, which need to be clarified to allow common
work. Trans organizations place a large part of their energy on the
urgent and vital needs of trans people through mutual aid and support,
as well as moral support and the creation of spaces for sociability.
This is a titanic task, which it is up to us to salute and support. This
entirely logical priority placed on the immediate needs of the trans
community can justify an emphasis on individualities. As a political
organization, the Libertarian Communist Union is not intended to replace
the mutual aid spaces that it must support from the outside.
Our goal is to push society to evolve towards the acceptance and
integration of trans people until the elimination of the patriarchal
system of oppression. In this field of action, we consider that
individualizing logics are detrimental: we need to create a collective
based on shared experiences. This involves bringing to life broad and
democratic counter-powers. This position is not antithetical to the
recognition of the diversity of transition pathways. It is not our role
to judge the "legitimacy" of this or that identity. Our analysis is
based on the material conditions of existence: we fight for all people
whose material conditions are affected by transphobia.
Another common source of tension between queer and materialist
strategies is the use of vocabulary. Queer models suggest that everyone
chooses the labels that correspond to them (in terms of identity and
sexual orientation) with a view to "destabilizing" gender and personal
emancipation. At UCL, our analysis grid and the vocabulary we use are
different. Without calling into question the principle of
self-determination, we start from the transition as a social fact, then
we study the logic of oppression that this generates. Our vocabulary
therefore designates the people structurally affected by these oppressions.
We have highlighted here our approach and our disagreements in order to
clarify our position, not to draw a line with other political
orientations, but on the contrary to allow common work with them in full
knowledge of the facts. More than ever, we need to be united.
