Message: 1
Over a hundred years ago a frightened President Grover Cleveland pushed congress to recognize Labor Day as a federal holiday in 1894 (the
September holiday was first observed in 1882 by the Central Labor Union of New York). In the wake the Pullman railcar strike that saw
workers murdered at the hands of U.S. Marshals and Soldiers, Cleveland moved to throw the masses a crumb, Labor Day. In what was perhaps a
wise move, he made sure that the holiday did not land on, or even near the already existing International Workers' Day. On the First of May
workers worldwide commemorate an event that took place in the very heart of the United States (Haymarket, May 3, 1886 and adopted
internationally in 1889 by an international congress of socialists, anarchists and radical workers) and often call for radical change and
even revolution. As sure as water flows downhill, the crumb of Labor Day only teased the empty bellies of workers demanding a better life.
On through today, an entire history of struggle has been written with its newest chapters happening before our eyes.
Throughout this history workers have wielded the weapons of Solidarity and Direct Action in order to protect and advance their own
interests. With strikes, sabotage, sit-ins and sit-downs and other actions workers have stood up for each other ever since the bosses
started exploiting them in the first place. Often during these struggles, the workers would be abandoned and condemned, oftentimes by their
own Union leaders and left demoralized and forced to either carry on the fight by themselves, or capitulate to the boss.
2020 has been a particularly hard year for workers. The Coronavirus has hit service workers, food service, meat processing, agricultural,
retail, manufacturing and transportation hard. Low wage workers especially hard.Whole segments of the economy, such as hospitality, have
been put on hold or gutted. Healthcare workers, be they lower paid home health attendants, housekeeping, nurses and even doctors have been
stressed to the limits and placed in harm's way. Unemployment has skyrocketed, with millions still unemployed and many soon to run out of
unemployment insurance. Parents, especially mothers, are seeing the precarious state of childcare as daycare centers and preschools are
closed or decreased their availability. Older children have been staying home as well. Parents, especially mothers, must balance childcare
with work or decrease their working hours in order to care for their children of all ages. The invisible nature of childcare is perhaps
becoming more visible during this pandemic. But the unpaid and underpaid care-work is still overlooked and in danger of becoming future
collateral damage because the problem has been exacerbated by the pandemic. "All across the world, women, especially working class women,
women of colour, migrant women and women living in rural communities perform the largest share of underpaid, or completely unpaid, social
reproductive labour." (Varsity, Cambridge, UK September 2020)
Over the past six months, workers, be they in the meatpacking plants or hospitals have oftentimes self-organized struggles for safe working
conditions, and personal protective equipment. Workers' direct action and mini-strikes have largely, though not exclusively, spontaneously
broken out across the country.Even in the wholly unorganized Amazon chain, there were a number of struggles and small actions against the
behemoth's drive for productivity and output.While not massive, not strikes per se, the workers even the 8:30 minute strike called to join
in the Black Lives Matter's struggles, while limited, was strong in message.For those of us who are sports fans, much respect to those
basketball players who essentially organized a wild cat strike against the heightened racism and racist deaths happening across this land.
The workers crisis is not just limited to the workplace. The many tens of millions of unemployed workers are also struggling with rent,
mortgages and their inability to pay, either in whole or in part, their rents and mortgages. With each week, landlords are getting ready to
squeeze them out of their apartments and homes. Pressure of lack of work, pressure in meeting rent or mortgage payments will ultimately lead
to a major crisis. Temporary rent or mortgage holds will to last forever. And when the dam breaks, the human costs of homelessness will be
immense.
2020 has been a particularly brutal and racist year. Men and women of color gunned own or suffocated at the hands of the men in blue across
this land. Breonna Taylor in Kentucky, slain in bed by mad dog cops on a hunting expedition. Stoked on by the Klansman in Chief aggressively
trying to show who's in power and control, turning the streets into war zones with his unidentified federal military shock forces.
Furthermore, the Klansman in Chief has been giving more than a more than a wink and a nod to racist and fascist vigilantes and militias.
If ever there was a time for the creation of new movements, from below, for workers and community control, the time is now. The time is now
to help develop anti-racist social movements from below that capture the best of spirit of direct and mass action.
The time is now to rekindle the spirit of working class combativeness. We seek to organize and build an independent, militant self-managed
and self-organized workers movement. One which is directly democratic, free and non-bureaucratic and promotes anti-discriminatory,
pro-ecological and anti-capitalist goals. As the threat of climate change looms, the need has increased for a militant workers movement that
can demand a just transition away from fossil fuels and towards more ecologically friendly employment. Along with this the need has
increased for the eventual replacement of markets with an economy self-managed by everyone, since market cost-shifting and negative
externalities are not ecologically sustainable. We believe this can eventually be fulfilled via a libertarian socialism where everyone has a
voice in economic decisions to the general extent they are affected by them.
This kind of movement cannot be instituted from the top-down, and cannot have bosses. The movement will only defend the interests of the
rank and file workers for as long as the rank and file control it from the bottom-up, democratically. In order to grow strong roots it will
need room to include not just current wage workers, but all those that where, those that will be, and those that labor without pay. Simply
put, all those folks who find themselves powerless in this chaotic society must work together to forge a new one. It must mirror in its'
structure the kind of society we wish to build, one empty of hierarchy and full of democracy.
Perhaps you've found the crumbs, however frequently dropped from marble tables, never seem to fill your empty stomach. Let it be known that
others have tired of the crumbs as well, and wish to get the whole cake instead.
Feel free to contact us to learn more about how to fight your boss at work, to find out more about libertarian socialism and working class
struggle, or just to discuss the situation further.
The time is NOW!

The youth combatant for years has been the spearhead in social protest, not only in Chile, but on the whole planet. October 18 was the
historical and existential date where space and time broke and where we prefer a different world in acts. The full population this time went
out on the street, tired of life's abuse and miseries, to take it all. ---- There is in dominated groups a natural inclination towards
freedom, toward rebellion, towards the revolt and towards the full recovery of life. 73 marked an entire generation, and what we learned
from there has not been in vain; it is over time that we have gained experience and awareness of struggle, history, our past and our future.
We have listened to those who preceded us, we have lived violence and experienced with it, we have lost compasses, draw our own conclusions
and we are sure that nothing is over. All wounds and all falls are partial failures, while the elements from which to pull the strength to
keep fighting.
Given the scenario we are in, it is evident that everything goes wrong and that everything aims to reduce our strength. Between the pandemic
and the plebiscite, we are stunned and bombarded with news and projects that say emancipate us, but that are far from that. There is no
doubt that our deliverance will be our work or will not be. It's up to us that history does not repeat itself.
On this September 11, the first after the start of the revolt, we call on strengthening territorial organization, direct action, mutual
support and solidarity, as well as commemorate this date in the way you consider convenient, maintaining the necessary protection and care,
both in health and in the street.
September is black and our memory is loaded with the future.
Nothing and no one is forgotten!

All over the world, people are fed up with the tyranny of rulers, racists, patriarchs, capitalists, religious leaders and colonialists . The
people have already risen to break the chains of all the norms that have caused the countless devastation of the present and to build a new
future. ---- We live in an age full of events and incidents. Every day we encounter new events and happenings that require serious analysis
and study and thousands of volumes of books to understand their roots and consequences. Such an age is necessarily the age of fundamental
change, the age of revolution. The age of anarchism is a new age; It is a glorious age that history has promised us after the defeat of the
state / authoritarianism and capitalism. Capitalism did not create freedom, because capitalism was basically not intended to create freedom
and equality, and the result of capitalism was clearly nothing but the exploitation and oppression of humanity and nature. To solve the
problems of the world today requires a revolutionary and radical reaction.
We are revolutionary. We believe that the overthrow of existing governments and social systems is essential to the elimination of oppression
and savagery that prevents people from even gaining control of their lives. Indeed, when the choice between death is in the hands of Dole or
revolution against any form of government, pacifism is of considerable importance or position.does not have. Revolution must take place in
society, in relationships and within our own consciousness. Revolution is not just a moment in history; Rather, it is a process of building
social movements, movements that can converge at points; These convergences of different social forces, achieved in terms of common goals
and interests, must be able to plunge the whole system into a deep crisis and move towards aggression against the forces of tyranny. We call
this process a revolution if it is to create self-organization of the masses of the people, to resist the forces of repression, and to
continue the process of dismantling authoritarian relations and creating a new free society. There is no starting point and no end point in
the revolution. Revolution is our transformation, our relationship with others and society. Revolution is the means by which we can
understand the vision of a better world.
Revolution must be global. The globalization of economic forces and the age of information exchange have made us increasingly and
increasingly interdependent and aware of each other's pain. No part of the world can destroy the authoritarian structures in which it lives
and build a free society without uniting with other world powers and destroying the international ruling class. In order to survive, the
ruling powers need to prove to the people that social life and order are not possible without them; Likewise, they will not refrain from
inflicting various harms on the autonomous communities. So the revolution cannot limit itself to freedom
Defeat only a fraction of the world's population. Revolutionary movements must create links that cross geographical boundaries and bridge
the gap between many different struggles around the world.
The revolution must take place in the consciousness of the people. Revolutionary consciousness is the heart of the revolutionary process. In
the absence of popular awareness, the possibility of an anti-authoritarian revolution is truly impossible; Because some people are still in
the political games of parties and capitalists and can not properly assess their situation and choose the practical path according to their
interests; But with a change in consciousness, the revolution cannot be stopped. We believe that the advancement of revolutionary
consciousness is achieved through struggle. The development of revolutionary consciousness cannot be separated from action. The revolution
must change the relations between the people. We are intellectual, social as well as political revolutionaries. Revolution is the process by
which we change the way people relate to each other. We break down the walls that separate us to the people; Express their interests,
desires and talents in creative and favorite ways.
Revolution is the destruction of the political, social and economic forces that oppress us. We must dismantle capitalism and create new
economic structures in which the working class and the working class are essentially non-existent and the people live and be productive,
away from the unnecessary exploitation of natural resources. We must dismantle patriarchy and sex / gender supremacy and build
freedom-loving communities and families.
Since anarchism is always trying to free man from the slavery of money, so the general policy of anarchism for human life, unlike
capitalism, is not based on economics. There is talent within every human being, but millions of talents fall victim to the capitalist
system, and only a small percentage of human beings succeed in displaying their talents, which is either slavery to the capitalists or these
people are in fact capitalists. Our priority, which pursues the general policy of free human life, is society, and from the point of view of
anarchism it is society that will overshadow the politics, culture and economy of societies. In the federation program we will have an
analysis of the politics of anarchism and economics
We must dismantle the state and create democratic and decentralized forms of political / social self-organization. We do not pursue state
power. We reject the creation of a political vanguard party as a means to an end for our revolutionary goals. Revolution is not the work of
a unified social group, but the product of the convergence of many different struggles against many different aspects of this authoritarian
society.
To this end, the Anarchist-era federation is being formed to transcend geographical boundaries and create an organic link between many
different struggles around the world. It began some time ago with the announcement of the "announcement of the beginning of the formation of
the federation of the age of anarchism" and after the publication of the second statement, it enters the third stage, which will be the
statement on the "internal function and structure of the federation". "Federation" and finally, the last step will be the publication of the
text announcing the existence of the "Federation of the Age of Anarchism"; So forming a federation is a five-step process.
Footnote 1: Following the announcement of the "announcement of the beginning of the formation of the Anarchist Federation", anarchists from
Spain and Chile announced their readiness to join the Anarchist Federation.
Footnote 2: Since with the official announcement of the federation, the site of the age of anarchism will belong to the federation, so any
article that is published in it, expresses a collective belief in the federation and if anyone disagrees with one of the published articles;
That content will be removed from the site.

Greece and Turkey, war and contention between States and International Solidarity of Peoples Solidarity Against Class is Power! ---- The
economic and political powers are in an unprecedented global attack against the peoples on the periphery of capitalism through wars,
military operations, overthrowing regimes and imposing new ones, aiming to control and exploit all living and non-living beings, all
communities. This process, which condemns millions of people to poverty, impoverishment, disease and displacement; It is the precondition
for the accumulation of wealth in the hands of the global economic elite and the redistribution of the geopolitical balance of power in the
world among global, regional and local powers in the context of inter-state competition.
In the final process, the competition between states, between Greece and Turkey, and in this context there is an increase accelerated
preparations for war. Their goal is to establish the Exclusive Economic Zone for the operation of energy assets and control of energy
trading routes in the Aegean Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean.
What actually happened Greece and Turkey boss of serving the interests of large multinational mining companies, which have larger segments
of control and to split the exploitation, dangerous way of the ongoing conflict in different acceleration levels over time is born again.
The reason why global capitalist powers such as the United States, France and NATO have become visible in this conflict through their
efforts to maintain a wider military power in the geopolitically highly strategic region of the South East Mediterranean is actually to
achieve a more profitable balance of power in this situation and in global energy markets.
For Greece, active participation in this conflict through the development of war resources in the Aegean Sea is a reaffirmation of its
commitment to the EU and NATO and to police on their behalf in the wider region. This is the political, military and energy cooperation with
Egypt, Cyprus and Israel.
For Turkey, Rojava towards military occupation and its control policy with Turkey to the fulfillment of the National Reconciliation
Government deal in Libya and the deployment of battle fleet in the Mediterranean until it reaches show participation is open to contention
in the wider region, is a strong regional player in the rivalry between the global capitalist states tactical moves of great importance in
the context of serving the overall strategy of
The fact that both states increase the conflict in the Eastern Mediterranean creates the possibility of affecting Cyprus, which is another
issue they contend with. F-16s and destroyer ships are circling around Cyprus, and these conflicts mean that the peoples of Cyprus are
subject to state aggression.
Both Greece and Turkey, nationalism in an increasingly competitive context, raises the intolerance and hate speech. Their aim is to instill
fear into society, to convince the vast part of society that is plundered and ruthlessly exploited by the state and the bosses, that they
have common interests with the political and economic elites that govern them.
As anarchists on both sides of the Aegean Sea, we are aware that war societies, poverty and impoverishment, the rise of nationalism and the
fascism of society will be devastating for humanity. Class and international solidarity between peoples, the organized struggle of the
exploited classes, the overthrow of the states and the world of capitalism; We firmly believe that it will create the conditions necessary
for the creation of a society of freedom, equality, peace and justice without exploitation, wars and corrupt competition.
Let's revive the struggle for Social Revolution, Anarchism, and Liberal Communism!

The whole world looks with concern at the development of the situation in Belarus. A rebellion against the authoritarian government is
growing in Belarusian society. It manifests itself in various forms. In addition to mass demonstrations, we observe with interest and
admiration the strike movement that is gaining momentum, expressing the anger of the local working class against tyranny. We hope that it
will turn into a general strike that will lead to the overthrow of the dictator Alexander Lukashenka. ---- The Union of Syndicalists of
Poland stands in solidarity with the Belarusian working class, believing that its rebellion against the government will allow them to
believe in their own strength and to introduce the workers' struggle into new, bolder tracks. We strongly encourage workers and women
workers to start the process of associating themselves in a grassroots, self-governing labor movement, independent of political parties and
full-time union leaders, which, through mass strikes, will take control of workplaces and the means of production. Only the organized and
systematic struggle of a society organized in trade unions can win in this unequal struggle. This will be an important and necessary step
towards the liberation of the Belarusian working class. We believe that with a sense of social responsibility, you will rebuild the
political and economic system in your country. We hope, that you will not make a mistake made in Poland by a trade union with the slogan of
solidarity on the banners, which, through politically naive leaders, changed the dictatorship of the communist party into the dictatorship
of capitalist power and business. The effects of this error are felt by Polish workers until today ...
For this reason, it is not enough to change one political power to another, but it is necessary to rebuild society in a bottom-up manner,
based on self-governing structures.
Dear Workers, Dear Workers! We send our words of support for your freedom aspirations and we hope that you will win in the fight against the
violence and repression of the authoritarian state of A. Lukashenka. It is your responsibility now to free Belarusian workers and women
workers from the yoke of oppression. It's up to you to defeat the cruel dictator's regime.
We are with you!

"I am not one of those heroic women who has been tenaciously committed to the fight against tyranny and for a fairer and more humane
society, and who have risked their lives in this fight; I am not one of those who have entered history with their life and work. However,
the example of so many brave women inspired me to contribute to the fight for a better world, at least in a modest way. " ---- Doris
Ensinger was born in 1944 in Germany, near Magdeburg, where she spent the first years of her life. In 1948, her family left the
Soviet-occupied zone and moved to Bavaria. From 1964 she studied translation at the University of Saarbrücken and also took part in the
student revolt.
In the 1970s, she took an active part in the Munich alternative movement and lived in flats organized according to the principles of
anarchist collectivization, as practiced in Spain in 1936. In 1977, she met the famous anarchist activist Luis Andrés Edo in Barcelona (see
his biography on libcom . org ) and fell in love. They lived together for the next thirty years until his death in 2009 and participated in
many activities of the anarchist movement. From 1981 to 2010, Doris taught translation, civilization and culture at the Faculty of
Translation of the Autonomous University of Barcelona. She is the author of a book about her relationship with Edo, published by the German
publishing house Barrikade and later published in Spanish entitled Amor y Anarquia (Love and Anarchy).
Doris said: "I was with him at big events, but not in the front line. I didn't like speaking in public or acting like a protagonist, I
preferred to help with the organization or document events. I'm no heroine, but I've always fearlessly defended my ideas in other areas,
like now in this book. "
She died of kidney disease at the age of 76 on August 8, 2020.

state / authoritarianism and capitalism. Capitalism did not create freedom, because capitalism was basically not intended to create freedom
and equality, and the result of capitalism was clearly nothing but the exploitation and oppression of humanity and nature. To solve the
problems of the world today requires a revolutionary and radical reaction.
We are revolutionary. We believe that the overthrow of existing governments and social systems is essential to the elimination of oppression
and savagery that prevents people from even gaining control of their lives. Indeed, when the choice between death is in the hands of Dole or
revolution against any form of government, pacifism is of considerable importance or position.does not have. Revolution must take place in
society, in relationships and within our own consciousness. Revolution is not just a moment in history; Rather, it is a process of building
social movements, movements that can converge at points; These convergences of different social forces, achieved in terms of common goals
and interests, must be able to plunge the whole system into a deep crisis and move towards aggression against the forces of tyranny. We call
this process a revolution if it is to create self-organization of the masses of the people, to resist the forces of repression, and to
continue the process of dismantling authoritarian relations and creating a new free society. There is no starting point and no end point in
the revolution. Revolution is our transformation, our relationship with others and society. Revolution is the means by which we can
understand the vision of a better world.
Revolution must be global. The globalization of economic forces and the age of information exchange have made us increasingly and
increasingly interdependent and aware of each other's pain. No part of the world can destroy the authoritarian structures in which it lives
and build a free society without uniting with other world powers and destroying the international ruling class. In order to survive, the
ruling powers need to prove to the people that social life and order are not possible without them; Likewise, they will not refrain from
inflicting various harms on the autonomous communities. So the revolution cannot limit itself to freedom
Defeat only a fraction of the world's population. Revolutionary movements must create links that cross geographical boundaries and bridge
the gap between many different struggles around the world.
The revolution must take place in the consciousness of the people. Revolutionary consciousness is the heart of the revolutionary process. In
the absence of popular awareness, the possibility of an anti-authoritarian revolution is truly impossible; Because some people are still in
the political games of parties and capitalists and can not properly assess their situation and choose the practical path according to their
interests; But with a change in consciousness, the revolution cannot be stopped. We believe that the advancement of revolutionary
consciousness is achieved through struggle. The development of revolutionary consciousness cannot be separated from action. The revolution
must change the relations between the people. We are intellectual, social as well as political revolutionaries. Revolution is the process by
which we change the way people relate to each other. We break down the walls that separate us to the people; Express their interests,
desires and talents in creative and favorite ways.
Revolution is the destruction of the political, social and economic forces that oppress us. We must dismantle capitalism and create new
economic structures in which the working class and the working class are essentially non-existent and the people live and be productive,
away from the unnecessary exploitation of natural resources. We must dismantle patriarchy and sex / gender supremacy and build
freedom-loving communities and families.
Since anarchism is always trying to free man from the slavery of money, so the general policy of anarchism for human life, unlike
capitalism, is not based on economics. There is talent within every human being, but millions of talents fall victim to the capitalist
system, and only a small percentage of human beings succeed in displaying their talents, which is either slavery to the capitalists or these
people are in fact capitalists. Our priority, which pursues the general policy of free human life, is society, and from the point of view of
anarchism it is society that will overshadow the politics, culture and economy of societies. In the federation program we will have an
analysis of the politics of anarchism and economics
We must dismantle the state and create democratic and decentralized forms of political / social self-organization. We do not pursue state
power. We reject the creation of a political vanguard party as a means to an end for our revolutionary goals. Revolution is not the work of
a unified social group, but the product of the convergence of many different struggles against many different aspects of this authoritarian
society.
To this end, the Anarchist-era federation is being formed to transcend geographical boundaries and create an organic link between many
different struggles around the world. It began some time ago with the announcement of the "announcement of the beginning of the formation of
the federation of the age of anarchism" and after the publication of the second statement, it enters the third stage, which will be the
statement on the "internal function and structure of the federation". "Federation" and finally, the last step will be the publication of the
text announcing the existence of the "Federation of the Age of Anarchism"; So forming a federation is a five-step process.
Footnote 1: Following the announcement of the "announcement of the beginning of the formation of the Anarchist Federation", anarchists from
Spain and Chile announced their readiness to join the Anarchist Federation.
Footnote 2: Since with the official announcement of the federation, the site of the age of anarchism will belong to the federation, so any
article that is published in it, expresses a collective belief in the federation and if anyone disagrees with one of the published articles;
That content will be removed from the site.

Greece and Turkey, war and contention between States and International Solidarity of Peoples Solidarity Against Class is Power! ---- The
economic and political powers are in an unprecedented global attack against the peoples on the periphery of capitalism through wars,
military operations, overthrowing regimes and imposing new ones, aiming to control and exploit all living and non-living beings, all
communities. This process, which condemns millions of people to poverty, impoverishment, disease and displacement; It is the precondition
for the accumulation of wealth in the hands of the global economic elite and the redistribution of the geopolitical balance of power in the
world among global, regional and local powers in the context of inter-state competition.
In the final process, the competition between states, between Greece and Turkey, and in this context there is an increase accelerated
preparations for war. Their goal is to establish the Exclusive Economic Zone for the operation of energy assets and control of energy
trading routes in the Aegean Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean.
What actually happened Greece and Turkey boss of serving the interests of large multinational mining companies, which have larger segments
of control and to split the exploitation, dangerous way of the ongoing conflict in different acceleration levels over time is born again.
The reason why global capitalist powers such as the United States, France and NATO have become visible in this conflict through their
efforts to maintain a wider military power in the geopolitically highly strategic region of the South East Mediterranean is actually to
achieve a more profitable balance of power in this situation and in global energy markets.
For Greece, active participation in this conflict through the development of war resources in the Aegean Sea is a reaffirmation of its
commitment to the EU and NATO and to police on their behalf in the wider region. This is the political, military and energy cooperation with
Egypt, Cyprus and Israel.
For Turkey, Rojava towards military occupation and its control policy with Turkey to the fulfillment of the National Reconciliation
Government deal in Libya and the deployment of battle fleet in the Mediterranean until it reaches show participation is open to contention
in the wider region, is a strong regional player in the rivalry between the global capitalist states tactical moves of great importance in
the context of serving the overall strategy of
The fact that both states increase the conflict in the Eastern Mediterranean creates the possibility of affecting Cyprus, which is another
issue they contend with. F-16s and destroyer ships are circling around Cyprus, and these conflicts mean that the peoples of Cyprus are
subject to state aggression.
Both Greece and Turkey, nationalism in an increasingly competitive context, raises the intolerance and hate speech. Their aim is to instill
fear into society, to convince the vast part of society that is plundered and ruthlessly exploited by the state and the bosses, that they
have common interests with the political and economic elites that govern them.
As anarchists on both sides of the Aegean Sea, we are aware that war societies, poverty and impoverishment, the rise of nationalism and the
fascism of society will be devastating for humanity. Class and international solidarity between peoples, the organized struggle of the
exploited classes, the overthrow of the states and the world of capitalism; We firmly believe that it will create the conditions necessary
for the creation of a society of freedom, equality, peace and justice without exploitation, wars and corrupt competition.
Let's revive the struggle for Social Revolution, Anarchism, and Liberal Communism!

The whole world looks with concern at the development of the situation in Belarus. A rebellion against the authoritarian government is
growing in Belarusian society. It manifests itself in various forms. In addition to mass demonstrations, we observe with interest and
admiration the strike movement that is gaining momentum, expressing the anger of the local working class against tyranny. We hope that it
will turn into a general strike that will lead to the overthrow of the dictator Alexander Lukashenka. ---- The Union of Syndicalists of
Poland stands in solidarity with the Belarusian working class, believing that its rebellion against the government will allow them to
believe in their own strength and to introduce the workers' struggle into new, bolder tracks. We strongly encourage workers and women
workers to start the process of associating themselves in a grassroots, self-governing labor movement, independent of political parties and
full-time union leaders, which, through mass strikes, will take control of workplaces and the means of production. Only the organized and
systematic struggle of a society organized in trade unions can win in this unequal struggle. This will be an important and necessary step
towards the liberation of the Belarusian working class. We believe that with a sense of social responsibility, you will rebuild the
political and economic system in your country. We hope, that you will not make a mistake made in Poland by a trade union with the slogan of
solidarity on the banners, which, through politically naive leaders, changed the dictatorship of the communist party into the dictatorship
of capitalist power and business. The effects of this error are felt by Polish workers until today ...
For this reason, it is not enough to change one political power to another, but it is necessary to rebuild society in a bottom-up manner,
based on self-governing structures.
Dear Workers, Dear Workers! We send our words of support for your freedom aspirations and we hope that you will win in the fight against the
violence and repression of the authoritarian state of A. Lukashenka. It is your responsibility now to free Belarusian workers and women
workers from the yoke of oppression. It's up to you to defeat the cruel dictator's regime.
We are with you!

"I am not one of those heroic women who has been tenaciously committed to the fight against tyranny and for a fairer and more humane
society, and who have risked their lives in this fight; I am not one of those who have entered history with their life and work. However,
the example of so many brave women inspired me to contribute to the fight for a better world, at least in a modest way. " ---- Doris
Ensinger was born in 1944 in Germany, near Magdeburg, where she spent the first years of her life. In 1948, her family left the
Soviet-occupied zone and moved to Bavaria. From 1964 she studied translation at the University of Saarbrücken and also took part in the
student revolt.
In the 1970s, she took an active part in the Munich alternative movement and lived in flats organized according to the principles of
anarchist collectivization, as practiced in Spain in 1936. In 1977, she met the famous anarchist activist Luis Andrés Edo in Barcelona (see
his biography on libcom . org ) and fell in love. They lived together for the next thirty years until his death in 2009 and participated in
many activities of the anarchist movement. From 1981 to 2010, Doris taught translation, civilization and culture at the Faculty of
Translation of the Autonomous University of Barcelona. She is the author of a book about her relationship with Edo, published by the German
publishing house Barrikade and later published in Spanish entitled Amor y Anarquia (Love and Anarchy).
Doris said: "I was with him at big events, but not in the front line. I didn't like speaking in public or acting like a protagonist, I
preferred to help with the organization or document events. I'm no heroine, but I've always fearlessly defended my ideas in other areas,
like now in this book. "
She died of kidney disease at the age of 76 on August 8, 2020.
