Among the other topics we discussed the currentongoing antimilitarist campaigns that our federations are involved withand we published a statement regarding the topic. ---- We are sendingyou the link to the statement:https://i-f-a.org/2023/11/20/ifa-statement-from-crifa-athens-5-nov-2023/IFA Statement from CRIFA Athens 5 Nov 2023Posted on 20th November 2023 by IFAThe Commission of Relations of the International of AnarchistFederations gathered in Athens on 4-5 November 2023 to discuss and sharethoughts and practices of our Federations. Currently, we areparticularly active in antimilitarist activities, in a period that ischaracterised by the intensification of wars, of which the most known,such as the conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine or Sudan should not make forgetthe globality of the problem.War is never a solution, but a way for capitalism and the state toreproduce forms of domination, exploitation, patriarchy and oppression.War is the exacerbation of the violence of power and hierarchy. Manypeople discuss war crimes, we say that war is always a crime. All warsare against the people and use arguments such as nationalism, puttingoppressed people the ones against the others, trying to create illusionsof common interests of all classes to undermine social conflicts throughwar propaganda.We anarchists oppose all borders, states, armies and the very principleof territorial sovereignty. We propose our ideas of internationalsolidarity, actively supporting all the victims of wars, and all thosewho refuse wars from all sides: objectors, deserters, saboteurs andpeople who escape the wars.We support all antimilitarist actions that are in agreement with ouranarchist principles, as well as those groups, individuals andcollectives who resist the war making social work, helping people,promoting social struggles and continuing to spread anti-authoritariancultures despite the war.In addition of making international diffusion of these antimilitaristactivities as a work of counter-information before war propaganda thoughtheir journals, radios and medias, our federations are promotingactivities such as:The 'Worldwide days of action against any war and militarism' from 17-25November 2023 https://de.indymedia.org/node/306630The antimilitarist fortnight of Publico in Paris from 5 to 26 November2023 http://www.librairie-publico.info/?p=8835and the Antimilitarist Assembly in Italy.https://umanitanova.org/event/milano-assemblea-antimilitarista-4/to give just a few examples.No war among peoples, no peace among classes.Commission of relations of the International of Anarchist Federations -IFA, Athens 5 November 2023https://i-f-a.org/2023/11/20/ifa-statement-from-crifa-athens-5-nov-2023/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
