The publication can be downloaded from the website of the federation in PDF format (235 kb), for easy printing and distribution. http://www.fdca.it/AL/al-03-15/marzo15.pdf ---- The articles in this issue: ---- * International: Beyond self-defense ---- So much has been said and written over the past four months on Kurdish women, by virtue of what happened to Kobane in Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan). Space was especially the images of Kurdish women, women who only few knew, to highlight their youth, their beauty and the fact that they had shouldered weapon. But this is only the most superficial aspect of what is happening in that part of the Middle East. Yes, because the Kurdish women there are doing a revolution, but in all areas of society. And the military is but one of these, and would not even be the most important if not for the particular time, he sees the necessity of self-defense against attacks by the Kurdish people suffers with renewed vigor by ISIS as before by others groups, such as Al Nusra Front, affiliated to Al Qaeda, but also by the Assad regime ... * Unionism: The Jobs Act The recent implementation decrees of the Jobs Act enacted by the Italian government are added to other anti-worker legislation approved in the European Union (EU). Individual contracts to increasing protections, the redefinition of employment, flexibility released from bargaining, the monetization of layoffs and expulsion from the production cycle are meant to bring immediate irrelevance right coalition of workers and the role of ' trade union organization in the factories ... * International: Bil'in - 10 years of joint struggle and persistent struggle of Bil'in is only part of the long series of struggles that has lasted more than 120 years among the indigenous population of Palestine and the Zionist colonialist project to transfer the Palestinians . The struggle of Bil'in is also the culmination of the joint struggle of Palestinians and Jewish youth who "betray" their Jewish community of belonging, sucked into the Zionist project of building settlements and eviction of Palestinians. As partners second in importance only to the local activists, between us we have forged an unusual alliance, how rarely we have seen over the course of 500 years of struggle between European colonialism and the other inhabitants of the world. Few know that the origins of this alliance to Bil'in to be found in reality in Chiapas, Mexico ...

(en) Italy, Alternativa Libertaria / FdCA - WE ARE ALSO
CHARLIE - NO TO ISLAMIC FASCISM AND TO THOSE WHO FINANCE, NO WHO TO
BUILD A FUTURE OF HATE (it, pt) [machine translation]
We also are Charlie, but in our own way. ---- We defend as anarchists and libertarians the
right to satire and irreverence of any presupposed religious truth, we claim the right of
all to practice their religion or their atheism in broad daylight and without fear, we
refuse to ammantarci of a relativism that serves poor only to conceal colonialism and the
alleged superiority of European culture and especially of weapons, we fight all over the
world to affirm the dignity and rights of the oppressed classes, beyond ethnicity and
religion. ---- Charlie and we do not accept that in the name of freedom religions resume
their deadly role in society. We can never ally with fascists and imperialists, with
racist and intriguers of consciences. We have the courage to say that rights are
universal, of all and for all, and our anti-capitalist struggle will never be on the side
of fascists and nationalists of every stripe, Muslims or Jews, Catholics or Orthodox.
There are too many cracks produced by imperialism of capital for hegemony to draw us to
one side or the other. Our job, as always, is to be on our side and fight for our class,
which has no religion or nation.
We denounce so every fascism, even the Islamic one, but let's not forget the cynicism with
which it is armed hand of the assassins of the editors of Charlie Hebdo, murderers who are
at work in Kurdish areas, to Koban?, armed by the West and by liberal Gulf states such as
Turkey, or in the wars that have destroyed Afghanistan and Iraq, the Palestinian issue
resolved never deliberately, to the destruction of Syria and Libya, hunger sets in
Somalia, Nigeria, Mali, Chad, the counterrevolutionary role was in so-called Arab
uprisings. Whole areas of the planet are destroyed and hunted in a systemic chaos useful
only to big capital. The European countries, the US and the peripheral countries of the
Middle East, primarily Saudi Arabia, for forty years finance Islamic fascism, train
soldiers and promote the war against the secular and socialist components preventing the
contribution to social reconstruction based on universal rights, propinano their cultural
relativism in order not to recognize these rights.
What happened poses a serious threat to the social struggles taking place throughout
Europe. The ethnicization of social phenomena and unions will be higher. The proletarians
of Europe and the Islamic migrants attempting to cost of his own life to escape perhaps
even by fundamentalisms are the victims most affected by what has happened. Generations of
men and women workers, students, men and women seeking like us to build a better life and
more free, will be nailed to their ethnic and cultural backgrounds, experiences as enemies
and viewed with suspicion by their neighbors, by teachers of their children, from their
fellow workers.
But the future struggles will need everyone. It should avoid the ethnic conflict, it is
essential to rebuild the front of the class out of religious and ethnic paradigms, we will
have to make an effort to avoid monstrous that is unleashed in dramatic terms the struggle
between the poor. Everything is prepared to move millions of Europeans on reactionary
positions with great joy of the capital, the crisis and the phenomena of restructuring
mines are scattered in a society too runny.
We will continue our struggle internationalist to defend the interests of our class, for a
society that we want and libertarian communist, secular, where religion is contained in
the privacy of every individual who has faith and that it does not become the reason
driving the atrocities and today future, always fight religion as brand identity,
confirming that freedom passes for a secular society and plural.

Saturday, January 10, was held a garrison in Cavour square to denounce the drift
xenophobic and fascist who has also invested in our city and Friuli, to which Libertarian
Initiative from its membership. ---- The opening of an office fascist Casapound, on which
the local press has been wasted on the availability of dedicated space, and the arrests of
some militants Friuli "ordinovisti", ready to carry out attacks and massacres against
civilians with the intention of creating a climate of fear and destabilization to favor a
political authoritarian and freedom-are just the most glaring signs of this dangerous
drift, which sees public opinion now drugged messages from xenophobic and populist and
prone to attitudes increasingly intolerant and racist. ---- Today, we learn from the press
the terrible news of the attack against the drafting of Charlie Hebdo, "journal
irresponsable", by a group of fanatical Islamists. A horrible tragedy, a direct attack on
freedom of expression and the press, as well as a tragedy that claimed the lives of twelve
people.
Charlie Hebdo is a satirical newspaper, the expression of a libertarian culture that has
always rejected any attempt at censorship of the press who would like a tamed or silenced.
This cowardly attack reminds us of the period of the fascist squads of the late twenties
and early thirties, as claimed by the "good guys" Casapound, when hordes of fanatical
nationalists closed with fire editors of many newspapers socialists and anarchists,
killing the leaders of these warheads antifascist.
Fundamentalism and fascism are the same crap!
Today we declare war against all forms of fascism and fundamentalism, and for this, for
example, we are on the side of the partisans of Rojava who fight against Isis and we were
alongside the youth of the squares of the Arab spring that claimed more more freedom and
social justice.
The garrison of Saturday, January 10 in Cavour square will be an important opportunity to
reiterate, once again, the rejection of any ideology fascist, totalitarian and xenophobic,
as well as all forms of fundamentalism, is to some caliph or imam, that one of the
beam-leaguers and Islamophobic.

THE LIBERTARIAN AND LIBERTARIANS ARRESTAT * IN SPAIN IN THE FRAME
"OPERATION PANDORA" (it, pt) [machine translation]
Libertarian Alternative / FdCA expresses its solidarity with the biggest and the libertarian libertarian arrestat * in Spain as part of "Operation Pandora". ---- As at the end of the 70s of last century, when the libertarian movement resumed strength and cohesion around the CNT after the end of the Franco regime, even today the Spanish government resorts to police set to try to curb the growth of the libertarian movement and his experiments self-management, mutual aid and solidarity of class. No coincidence that the infamous departments of the Mossos de escuadra barged dawn in centers such as the Casa de la Muntanya de Gracia, the Ateneo de Anarquista Poble Sec, the Libertarian Ateneo de San Andr?s and in several occupied houses in Barcelona and other locations. After the approval by Parliament of the so-called "gag law", with the excuse of counter criminalizzabile make any opposition and any demonstration in front of the buildings of state power and cost with the imposition of heavy fines, Spain back in fact to the years 50s of the twentieth century at the time of the Franco regime, in line with the trend of repression in place throughout the European Union. In conjunction with the approval of the "Ley MORDAZA", the same chord-scam signed by the unions CCOO and UGT and CEOE-CEPYME aligns to the European trend with the invalidation of bargaining and creating precarious contracts, garbage contracts, flexible working hours, days overtime without pay, reduction of wages with impoverishment of 1/3 of employees. In this situation, any opposition, any dissent, any practical alternative must be broken at all costs, building the fear of terrorist where there is only an attempt to build an alternative life and society to the crisis of capitalism. The frames police, as we well know in Italy, sooner or later are unmasked for what they are, pure fiction, but in the meantime it is necessary to draw close to the victims of repression and social and trade union bodies libertarians who want to destroy.

(en) Italy, The contestation of 7 December and the struggles
for the right to housing in Milan (it) [machine translation]
After evictions of occupied houses ALER (housing) and social centers occupants has
developed a response that has seen moments of unity between the committees of the various
districts that are fighting for the right to housing, even if they follow procedures d
'different intervention. ---- Thursday, November 24 protest marches were organized
simultaneously in all districts where there are standing struggles for the right to
housing. Thursday, December 4 there was a parade unit started at 18 from Piazza San Babila
that went through the city streets with signs, banners, slogans and speeches particularly
centered on housing rights and against the repressive attack in progress. In addition to
the association tenants, the committees of the neighborhoods and the occupants were also
sections of the union base and alternative including USI with their flags.
Then came the deadline of December 7, where traditionally the inauguration of the theater
season at La Scala is organized protest against those participants who are boasting of
their power, the cheek of Finance, Bankers, Masters and enriched the various species ,
together with the main offices of state and politicians of high level (this year withdrew
their participation in the President of the Republic and the Council).
On December 7, we celebrate Sant 'Ambrogio, patron saint of Milan, which this year
coincided with the feast of Sunday. Occasion takes place a traditional fair called " Obej
or Obej "which takes place in the center and attracts lots of people.
In recent years the cub was particularly involved in this protest march. This year, both
for the overall situation we are suffering and in particular for the enzymes that are
developing in the struggles of the district at this time, USI in Milan has decided to
participate. Our presence was characterized by the presence of the banner USI / AIT, with
our flags and dissemination of a leaflet in support of the struggle for the house (in the
back of the program points with which we held the last general strike). There were many
people in the Town Hall in the cordoned delimiting the border not to cross. Many
onlookers, many tourists in addition to participating in the protest rally. In front of
the entrance there was a large scale deployment of police.
The first clashes occurred at 17 o'clock, when a procession of the committee occupants of
San Siro, led by social center "Shipyard", attempted to enter the way of access to the
side of the ladder. Were launched eggs and vegetables over the pressure and the police
responded with charges and beatings. At 18, some protesters removed the barriers in the
side where we were placed us, but the attempt to break through was suspended because he
risked being crushed between the police front and back in the same street. 18.30 a parade
of neighborhood committees and occupants entered the gallery that connects Piazza Duomo
square with Scala, but once inside the square cordoned off, under the Town Hall, the
police heavily loaded the procession.
After about half an hour, the procession is recomposed and crossed the gallery back (where
hundreds of people attended, through the giant screen, the projection in contemporary work
that was going on stage at La Scala) enters the Piazza Duomo to show, packed with people
for festivities underway.

(en) Italy, Alternativa Libertaria/FdCA - December 12:
workers, not slaves (it, pt) [machine translation]
That the General Strike of December 12 is really General ---- Today it is the survival of
the collective defense of the rights of the workers and not just in front of the political
choices that attempt to disarm us to segregate in a future slave, powerless to react to
the violence of the policies of the bosses. Today in the square must be many if we change
the sign of an authoritarian political Europe that seeks its space through compression
social imperialist. ---- December 12: workers, not slaves ---- That the General Strike is
really General ---- After two months of strikes and demonstrations culminated with the
social strike of 14 November, the cycle of struggles against Jobs Act, the law of
stability, unlock-Italian and Good school, reaches an important appointment with the
strike of December 12 called by the CGIL with the adhesion of the UIL.
While taking into account factors such as contingent confrontation between management and
leadership PD CGIL, the response of the latter to attempt to discredit the largest Italian
trade union by the government, this strike is going to take on the importance of the great
historical events of the proletariat Italian. Occurs in fact one of the most difficult
periods in decades for workers, where the attack of capital and the Italian Government in
responding to the needs of big business and the financial oligarchy firmly in command
worldwide.
The totalitarian rule of finance has sparked one of the latest attacks on the living
conditions of workers and the choices of the government Renzi are there to show the total
fidelity to the tenets of liberalism more authoritarian. The "Jobs Act" is the additional,
and not least, the attacks that caste manor is unleashing against the workers, with the
cancellation of rights won through years of struggle. The need for employers to suppress
the role of each union that does not bend to his needs of capitalist competition, the
blackmail of the workplace in a sea of unemployed and employed poor mean that is unleashed
wherever the war between the poor, the competition between the exploited that is the real
reason of the birth of union forms.
So today the general strike can be very general, it hurts to Government and Masters, who
finally reveal their own political and cultural order. A strike that has nothing of self
and that it should respond to the violence of the conditions with a strong proletarian
mortgage on the ability of workers to organize collectively in the near future, must be a
strike claiming the same right to strike, which for more parties trying to pass off as a
privilege of the many enjoyed by workers.
A strike to be a stage of European industrial action, expanding beyond Italic
contradictions to reach the heart of the beast, the economic policies of the ECB and the
financial oligarchy that continues to appoint loyal governments across Europe.
One day, one of 12, which should fill the social opposition to liberal policies, the
illusions government supported by the media always willing to collaboration with the
political right, always willing to invent it for the pleasure of voters distracted.
To not fall into the alternative of liberal right is important to regain the squares and
streets with widespread opposition, made up of behaviors and courageous choices. A strike
to reiterate that class solidarity is essential for us and we are always willing to
rebuild in the aftermath of the clash with capital, reacting to the growing repression
that affects the workers as those who fight for the right to housing, water, health and
public school, the precarious as those who struggle against the great works unnecessary
and against international treaties on goods.
Today it is the survival of the collective defense of the rights of the workers and not
just in front of the political choices that attempt to disarm us to segregate in a future
slave, powerless to react to the violence of the policies of the bosses. Today in the
square must be many if we change the sign of an authoritarian political Europe that seeks
its space through compression social imperialist.
We anarchist communists and libertarians, we will be with those who are fighting the
project. If the European area is our minimum space, which is the territory of solidarity
and social justice.

(en) Italy, USI on the General Strike of the 14th of November 2014
The General Strike of 14 November was proclaimed by the majority of base unions in Italy:
CUB, Cobas, ADL, Slai-Cobas, USI splinter group, for the whole day and by USB for 4 hours.
USI-AIT has called the strike for the whole day with an independent independent with this
call: "Stop suffering layoffs! Let's fire the masters!" with the purpose to invite workers
to take the ownership of those companies that are closing because of the crisis or a
relocation of the business. ---- The main reasons for the proclamation of the strike were
mostly against those laws the government is approving, in particular the Jobs Act , which
is a anti-labour reform that will increase precarious work and will allow companies the
utmost possibility to dismiss workers. ---- USI-AIT, while criticizing the way in which
the strike itself was agreed, decided within the trade union secretariats rather than
through an extensive comparison involving delegates and activists of all structures of
base unions and beyond, has worked in a unitary path at a local level with members of base
unions and the social area opposition where this was possible. Thus we took part marches
in Milan, Florence, Trieste, Bari, Bologna and organized autonomous demonstrations in
Parma, Modena, Cosenza, Ancona. Elsewhere our activists were integrated into local
initiatives.
The strike was attended by hundreds of thousands of workers and the most evident effect
was the block of public transport.
The marches were attended by thousands of workers and students who joined the protest,
along with areas of social opposition, as the squats and the committees in defense of the
territory.
In Milan, in addition to the parade of unions participated very basic, which we actively
participated, there was a separate march followed by with a separate march of Fiom, the
metalworking sector of the CGIL, that declared a last minute strike in the same day.
In Milan students were always loaded heavily by the police before Piazza Santo Stefano,
near the public university, and even No Tav demonstrators were charged by the police.
It was a successful general strike, that was followed by national media that referred a
positive evaluation, an important signal by workers and workers who are coming out of the
torpor that so far characterized them, the accomplices state unions CGIL, CISL and UIL,
going to connect with those important fights for the right to housing in neighborhoods
through the practice of the occupation and defense eviction.
Surely our union is strengthened. Especially around the country is growing an atmosphere
of opposition and struggle against the government of "broad consensus" (center-right and
center-left united) under the leadership of the Democratic Party. Renzi and his ministers
are receiving more and more pressing challenges from a social opposition ever wider, as is
happening these days.

THE YELLOW TRAIN DISAPPEARED ---- On Friday, on television, newspapers online live, local
TV and national and through word of mouth over the Internet, an avalanche of photos and
words have accompanied updates on yet another tragic flood in Genoa. Between this news
some recall having heard speak of a derailed train due to a landslide. A train derails,
someone must have thought, is not a trivial matter ... ---- There is talk of a driver
injured. Has risked a tragedy. ---- Then if they have not heard from again: no one has
seen the images on TV train and, even less, no one has witnessed an interview driver or
passenger to someone. Who knows ... the past few days it will remain a vague memory,
someone, perhaps, even to arrive doubt that the fact really happened ...
To do well attention it turns out that the indication of the place was
evasive and, in some cases wrong ... yet it was not difficult to give
the correct answer because, at that point,
that "combination", a few meters above there is a large excavation for
construction site of the third pass.
But then: what happened to that train?
If you have eaten the media: what they tell is "real",
what is omitted, hides, you disappear never happened.
While witnessing the buck of responsibility, as if it
were ONLY a problem alert, it is possible that
attention and anger will be channeled to the mayor on duty,
the Vincenzi yesterday, today Doria; dead pope if he will make another. do not
matter the color faded politician who will accompany him, the important
is that it does not touch the business system that is speculative in
upstream of the non-land management. The same business system
speculative behind the logic of the great works (which
allow good earnings in a few hands) instead of the many
small works needed to address, for example, the problem of
landslides. The word prevention is always too little
pronounced, and remains, however, only a rhetorical exercise by
make the time of the damage. Yet we must face the
issue of abandonment, the progressive depopulation of those who,
inhabiting the mountains with their work, was a first
element to prevent disruptions. Multiple and diverse
interventions are necessary if we want to try to live in an environment
safer struggling both against the degradation that the increasing
climatic anomalies ... and there would also be the possibility to create
somewhere more work. But all this, in the short term,
does not give vows or easy money. It must also combat
building speculators who continue to build in the beds of streams.
And 'this indicates that the train disappeared. For a joke
of fate, or a start of the mountain wound, the inevitable landslide
went to hinder a fast train, a White Arrow.
E 'for the creation of trains even more expensive and fast, that you want to
divert resources to commuter traffic, for the transport of goods
rail, can be upgraded on the existing lines, currently
underutilized, and many other things that we would need.
By a twist of fate, the landslide has pointed the finger of blame on
All this, said to the blind, the deaf and the ignorant as
earthworks senseless deforestation and land easily cause
landslides, and also recalled how bloated the works performed
in economics and contracted out to companies in the scent of the Mafia (when not
previous convictions) can be dangerous. And as
can these same gentlemen to reassure us that good extraction
ground, full of asbestos, managed by them does not constitute a danger?
All this was to indicate the train derailed, and then, better not
talk about it and make it disappear; men will think of to say to Cociv
Children in primary schools that the Work is beautiful.
Reading the press committees No Tav can you know that:
Friday morning around 12 a landslide caused by
deforestation of COCIV to Trasta for the construction of the yard
the third passage, the so-called site "Gallery Campasso" in via
Castel Morrone, to Fegino (and not in S Quirico as has been said!) Has
blocked the White Arrow 9764 RomaTorino. The mass of earth,
detached from the yard, collapsed on four carriages of the train,
injuring incredibly only the driver, causing the
train derailment with the escape from the tracks of numerous
wagons.

Self-management is needed
It happened yet another disaster to our Genoa, the territory as in 2011
has not held up to the strength of our rivers and streams. Water masses increasingly
imposing faced corridors too small to contain them and therefore
overflows. In past years we have accepted that the city s'ingrandisse to
expenses of a nature that now is taking revenge. Not happy with the past
disasters administrations and the parties are willing to continue their
plan devastation of the territory through the gutter and the third passage, two
unnecessary and costly works that have viable alternatives.
I was one of the "volunteers" who decided to take a shovel in hand
and go to clean up their city.
In my area there was no one who could coordinate the work and therefore we
found to make decisions collectively becoming an example of how citizens can handle alone
a city, even in a situation
particularly critical.
It was self-management.
These days I have had the
proof that you can change, that
chairpersons, mayors
up to the President of
Republic, are useless. Citizenship has the ability
to replace the advice and joined and to govern herself their
neighborhoods through assemblies participated in the full respect of the next.
Let us begin to build alternative realities to the current administrations
because only with autogestionre and direct participation we will have a future
decent.

diversity
Diversity or difference is one of the causes of
change, separation, and the distinction between
humans and among workers.
Today in the public sector, after 5 years of absence
economic improvements post brunettiani feels
talk about a possible release economic, not of
new contract, for a part of workers, are

a desk, a chair or in a hospital ward.
They are those who "are likely to defend ourselves," those
who wear a uniform in the parades, in the actions of
Peace exporting democracy, those who
worked at Bolzaneto and so on.
This government is implementing an operation of
enslavement of law enforcement with a new
economic promise at the base of which there is a
destructive principle, who is not wearing a uniform
a civil servant as the others, but it is worthy
of different consideration for its different
function, is a servant of the state more useful to
certain functions, so it differently
remunerated. What for some may not be for
others will, the law (Brunette) will be unsurpassed only
for some.
In conclusion, thanks to the diversity status

even those workers that depend on it today
even more separated in the name of diversity them
it just makes it weaker and puts them against each other.

(en) Italy, Anarkismo.net: None of the schools is a "good school" by donato romito (it, pt)
[machine translation]
In all Italian schools and online took place with some discomfort consultation
(non-binding of course) on the government plan now known as The Good School. ---- In the
"good school" government Renzi, training becomes a new area of investment likely to
produce profit from the economic to the investor (preparation and practical training to
the market = willing to spend to achieve it) and at the same time testing laboratory
criteria of social differentiation. ---- THERE 'S WORST SCHOOL OF "GOOD SCHOOL" ---- In
all Italian schools took place with some discomfort consultation (non-binding of course)
on the government plan now known as The Good School. This is not the first time that you
make a consultation of the genre (like parodies were activated by the ministers
Berlinguer, then Moratti, then again Fioroni).
So, I'm almost 20 years that we see government attempts to put in place a process of
devolution of public education as to reduce the costs of standards consistent with the
fiscal policies imposed by the culture of debt. The debt, in fact, appropriate not only
for the actual working time of employees and the population as a whole, but also exerts a
pre-emption on the future of each and the future of society as a whole. It does not escape
the school. The Italian, then, as the monopoly of the state, with a presence ancillary
individuals, typical of the liberal state, it is more useful to time the reproduction of
the system of values that you want to convey nor the structure of production and the labor
market to it functional.
Individuals must be able to enter the field of education not only to open another sector
to private investment, and therefore profit, but what better and more consistent bearers
of the "new values". The formation becomes short, a new field of investment likely to
produce profit from the economic to the investor (preparation and practical training to
the market = willing to spend to achieve it) and at the same time laboratory testing
criteria of social differentiation.
The reasons why the Jobs Act and "The Good School" are held, are thus found in some of the
most well-known and obvious over the last two decades:
the permanent insecurity, (at work, in life, in social relations and human);
mobility in the area (uprooting from socio-cultural context in relation to the needs of
production, suppression of the combining sites through the fragmentation of production
facilities);
individualization of working with the absence of a system of social security rights
attenuated ..;
the disappearance of solidarity between individuals and generations (deletion of
guaranteed health care, pension, ....).
While all this is (should be) going to the notorious perfidy of capitalism, there is on
the left, with delay and some embarrassment, that has now broken the covenant between
value typically Enlightenment and liberal secular education and state education all
bourgeois democracy and constitutional values, which could make possible a meeting between
liberalism and socialism.
The time is therefore ripe to take a further step forward in the transformation of public
education in school is open to particular cultures, groups trend; belonging to religious,
linguistic, territorial, dial census in the name of the autonomy of schools and ... market.
The Good School seeks to recover the time lost due to the now historic social opposition
to such projects and gives an acceleration of the process, many without even pretense.
Chapters 5 and 6 of white paper are brutally eloquent in this regard.
If the premise of the government document that is 40% unemployment in Italy is independent
of the crisis, but to a school which is not the people with the science required by
companies, follow from predictable recipe sauce best companies.
The famous Italian dual system
That is school-work required in the last three years of technical schools and extended by
one year in the professional, with at least 200 total hours per year (by 50 days to four
hours two months, in a course of study is complete ... Just watch me '!) with
participation of teachers specially trained tutors. By and in businesses, we fear.
And 'provided the marketing of goods and services produced by the students and the school
will use the revenue to improve teaching. As they do different Agricultural Schools.
The charming formula of the shop-school students in contexts that include business-related
crafts.
Finally, the training in the last two years of high school.
Teaching workshop (nice definition, no ?, but ...)
The plan is to strengthen the laboratories of all secondary schools from next year with
the purchase of new machines (3D printers, laser cutters, robot, ....), but there is no
mention of restoring or copresences with teachers Laboratory (eliminated by Gelmini), nor
the many hours cut in recent years. It would take 100 million a year. And who gave them to
us? So it is necessary to involve private companies. So Business School and co-design
training programs, aimed at the production, which will be connected to economic
incentives, possibly eliminating the red tape (read: democratic controls) that slow down
the process.
Recognition of the changing labor
Provides the mapping of the application of skills in the national system, directs the
youth in the areas of business in the territory and allows you to review the ad hoc curricula.
In short, the school appears to be functional only in the creation of workers and the
education of citizens. It provides a strong intervention, tax incentives, companies and
private foundations who become stars of "industry-oriented education to work." It 'not so
much an attempt to exploit the hidden free labor of young people by reducing labor costs
for companies.
Where are the resources?
Because, as the government's plan, "Public resources are not enough to fill the needs of
investment in our school" (page 124) involved the private resources "can help transform
the school into a true Collective Investment "(page 124). But to do so, schools must
become foundations, so they will be able to manage resources from outside (the former
undersecretary Aprea center-right governments could ask the copy-right, but no, it will be
happy .... !!).
Companies that invest in schools have tax breaks and labor at no cost through the
school-work, to shop for post-school students and craft apprenticeship in the last two
years. There are also bonuses School tax breaks for businesses and foundations and School,
Guarantees, sort of bonuses handed out if the investment creates employment for young
people in school.
But do not miss the creative financing Crowdfunding with encouraging forms of microcredit
by individuals (eg. Parents), through fundraisers and collections (already available for
download in the tax return); or with the Matching Fund, a mechanism by which every euro
made by the citizens, the State will make available to another; and finally the Social
Impact Bond, a mechanism of financing resources for the school. Swaps for school autonomy !?
So goodnight obligation constitutional right to education. You download costs on families.
It relies on private financing in exchange for tax breaks and unpaid work and models of
creative financing, as dangerous as still full of nothing.
This access of individuals in training, however, requires that by removing counterweights
and collegiality, and re / constructed the internal hierarchy is necessary for school
autonomy with power company. The previous chapters concerning the organization of work and
remuneration therefore deserve a specific treatment.
It's enough to set off a mass mobilization for groped to steal once the school of the
Republic made several attempts to downsize and whenever partly dammed. Among the
anti-landslide movements, trying to save from collapse knowingly pursued some of the
deserving -with all contraddizioni- institutions in the country, and now we miss so much
that for half a century he built, defended and fought for another school can , secular,
egalitarian excellence, which takes care of all * and * each according to his means.

undermine the foundations of the freedom of workers to organize and unite in the
workplace, to take to the streets to demonstrate their opposition to the destruction of
jobs and income. This is an attack not contingent, but that points to define themselves as
a system: a system in which otherness is not provided to the interests of capitalism,
there is no trade union organization that represents the interests of independent workers
than companies. There is no hope for a more just and more united. Not even the mere
dignity of the worker, who was sentenced instead to a state of endless precariousness. In
work and in life.
At the same time in the territories, this crisis points to the ghettoization of the forms
of social opposition, their criminalization whenever you dare to get across than large
unnecessary work, or claim social income, housing rights and resources, and build
democracy from low against the decomposition of representative democracy.
And in the crisis imposes its authority as a system and normality, it becomes commonplace
and normal repression legitimate state violence, unpunishable arbitrariness in uniform.
Jobs Act, Stability, Good School, you can not fight thinking of relying solely on the
ability of the Fiom coalizzatrice or willpower archipelago union base, converging by
chance or by necessity, in the act as a bank and as opposition.
To stop the processing of workers to be subject of dignity in random and anonymous
providers of work, so that the TFR is robbed for the second time, it falls perpetual frost

(en) Italy, Libertarian Alternative / FDCA - The yellow train disappeared by Roberto Pisani (it, pt)
[machine translation]
On Friday, on television, newspapers online live, local and national television and by
word of mouth via the internet, a slew of pictures and words accompanied the update on yet
another tragic flood in Genoa. Among these stories remind some of you have heard of a
train derailed due to a landslide. A train derails, someone must have thought, is not a
trivial matter ... ---- There is talk of a driver injured. He risked a tragedy. ---- Then
if they have not heard from again: no one has seen pictures on TV of the train and, a
fortiori, no one has seen an interview to the driver or any passengers. Who knows ... the
past few days it will be a vague memory, someone, maybe even come to doubt that the
incident actually happened ... ---- To make sure you find that fine details of the place
has been elusive and, in some cases wrong ... yet it was difficult to give an indication
right because, at that point, that "combination", a few feet above there is a large
excavation for the construction of the third pass.
But then: what happened to the train?
If they are eaten media: what they tell us is "real", what is omitted, hides, you
disappear never happened.
As we witness the buck of responsibility, as if it were ONLY a problem alert, it is
possible that the attention and anger will be channeled to the mayor in office, Vincenzi
yesterday, today Doria; dead pope if he will make another. No matter the color faded
politician who accompanied him, the important thing is that it does not touch the
speculative business system that is upstream of the non-land management. The same
speculative business system that is behind the logic of the great works (which allow large
profits in a few hands) instead of several small works needed to deal with, for example,
the problem of landslides. The word prevention is always too little pronounced, and
remains, however, only a rhetorical exercise to be carried out at the time of the damage.
Yet we must address the issue of abandonment, the progressive depopulation of those who,
living in the mountains with his work, was a first element in the prevention of
landslides. Multiple and diverse interventions are needed if we want to try to live in a
safer environment is struggling against the deterioration that the increasing weather
anomalies ... and there would also be the possibility to create a few more work. But all
this, in the short term, does not give vows or easy money. And we must also fight against
the developers who continue to build in the beds of streams.
And 'this indicates that the train disappeared. By a twist of fate, or a start of the
mountain wound, the inevitable landslide is going to hinder a fast train, a White Arrow.
E 'for the creation of trains even faster and cheaper, which you want to divert resources
for commuter traffic, freight rail, can be upgraded on existing lines, which is currently
under-utilized, and so many other things that we would need .
By a twist of fate, the landslide has pointed the finger of blame on all of this, he said
to the blind, the deaf and the ignorant fools such as deforestation and land earthworks
easily cause landslides, and is remembered as the works performed bloated budget and dates
contracted out to companies in the scent of the Mafia (when no previous convictions) can
be dangerous. And how can these same gentlemen for good reassure us that the extraction of
the ground, full of asbestos, run by them is not a threat? All this was to indicate the
train derailed, and then, better not talk about it and make it disappear; we think the
people of Cociv to tell the children in the elementary schools that the work is beautiful.
Then riprendiamola. Reading the press committee No Tav you can know that:
Friday morning around 12 a landslide caused by the deforestation of COCIV to Trasta for
the realization of the construction site of the third passage, the so-called site "gallery
Campasso" Via Castel Morrone, in Fegino (and not S.Quirico as has been said!) blocked the
White Arrow 9764 Turin to Rome. The land mass, detached from the yard, fell on four cars
in the convoy, injuring the driver just incredibly, causing the derailment of the train
with the escape from the tracks of many cars.
No all'OMERTAV! To rebel is possible!

(en) Italy, Libertarian Alternative Reggio Emilia - AL / FDCA - Outside the repression, out of Pantani (it, pt)
[machine translation]
The 'November 8 we'll be square in Reggio Emilia. We want this square is filled with
people and organizations, we want to be filled with those of solidarity, social justice
and freedom are its flag. ---- Outside the repression out of Pantani ---- On November 8
we'll be square in Reggio Emilia. We want this square is filled with people and
organizations, we want to be filled with those of solidarity, social justice and freedom
are its flag. ---- We deeply unfair and disproportionate that 15 companions are forced
obligation to sign, then the restriction of personal freedom for what happened April 25 in
Reggio Emilia, when a procession of anti-fascists objected to the presence in the city's
leaders xenophobic and racist League, Matteo Salvini. ---- That day was nothing so serious
as to persecute comrades, whom, as always, our solidarity. The explanation of what is
happening in Reggio Emilia, as in other cities of Italy is that the tightening of social
control and punishment for those who do not bow to the dictates of the "Nation Party" has
a preventive function. The demagogues of the government know that they are producing
compression social destruction of poverty and rights guaranteed by law in favor of capital
accumulation will have to deal with the likely social and political response. Not
otherwise explain why so much alacrity in suppressing behaviors that are considered to be
in keeping with the social and political spectrum that characterizes the phase of capital
restructuring. It is an old strategy and proven to be accused as a criminal expression of
ideas "non-aligned", as in the case of the companions subjected to repression.
Unfortunately, these dynamics serve to legitimize the dominant point of view.
But we know that the problem is political, cultural and social. We can not ignore the fact
that in Reggio Emilia, but not limited to, privatization is synonymous with the mafia,
that contracts downward in all areas of economic, produce poverty and insecurity for the
workers and for those who would take advantage of social services. But we also know that
the exceptions to the employment contracts and cancellation of the supplementary, the
collapse of collective bargaining, are one with the privatization of public services, the
reform of pensions Fornero, with the tax cut to businesses, with the privatization of
public health and the destruction of public schools. And as more and more clearly looming
arms race and the participation in the wars that are on our doorstep, the cancellation of
democracy - the first at work and then also that formal - is crucial to the realization of
that reform of the authoritarian capitalist accumulation which needs to avoid any social
backlash, as it does pay to workers and lower classes the costs of its restructuring.
It is required to take note of what occurred in the political and social change and act
accordingly: first build spaces for discussion are essential to develop a collective
possibility of a social and political response able to express our point of view, a point
of view of the class, that of the workers and the unemployed, the percent that undermines
the social question which articles collective responses to the destruction of public
resources, the environmental destruction in constant expansion. We therefore believe that
future battles we all can be successful only if we are able, even in Reggio Emilia, build
and expand an existing criticism that has as its premise the social alternative to the
dominant capitalist model, to begin a journey that very humbly but also a lot of
determination, is immediately to the common practices and the experiences of
self-management, grassroots, democratic and libertarian in Reggio Emilia are present and
active in the area.

(en) Italy, Federazione dei Comunisti Anarchici FdCA - WHO SAYS THE FUTURE IS FINISHED? -- TO LOOK UP THE CURRENT PHASE OF CAPITALIST RESTRUCTURING (it)
[machine translation]
Roller coaster of double-dip ---- The various factors that currently seem unconnected
outline the drop point, or at least the attempt of capital to find a new international
balance to ensure a new phase of capitalist accumulation in the western area (US-EU). ----
What is commonly called the crisis of 2008 and that affects entire populations can not
seem to get out of their monetary dimension. ---- A monetary policy - which sees the
protagonists commercial banks in the creation of money through the loan made possible by
debt - has a function of time necessary to protect the capitalization of the financial
system, but it has the merit to show everyone what are the dynamics of financial power.
---- The interest-free loans from the ECB to the financial system only serves to not
collapse. An economy without debt and de-industrialization of the old settlement areas
productive tries his best to issue currency, to clear rights and protections, resulting in
a time now too stretched:
stagnation with devastating social effects;
valorization of capital that is by looting of public resources, human and natural;
resulting in an explosion of public debt because of the relapse on it in private debt and
lack of levers and general progressive tax.
There seems to be prepared for a new phase of the crisis. The possibility of a new
evaporation of fictitious capital accumulated is alarming the financial world and someone
is trying to run for cover, as in the old days, to ensure the basic capital and the state
to guarantee an economic area of 800 million consumers, ready to suffer further abuse and
made functional by an authoritarian system like never before.
E 'in this sense that you have to see the great events that follow are in this period,
with a forced acceleration of the political times, now ready to redraw a frame
disintegrated by the crisis and the mutation imposed by financial capital.
Financial capital, in economic policies and in its European dimension, is highlighting
those who are the true political dynamics (and military) that can be seen, but which are
not spelled correctly, not to make them public. Their importance to the lives of millions
of workers, in fact, is such that they are wisely reserved for insiders, a political class
that obeys corporations and banks seeking their expansion or survival at the expense of
the lower classes.
Ukraine and Eastern Europe
Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia rushed to sign a free trade agreement with the EU. Having ousted
the old Ukrainian President Yanukovych and his government, with the help of US
intelligence and Polish membership of these countries influence the euro-dollar is
assured. It's not exactly a free-trade treaty: it is simply the submission of these
countries to European imperialism and American, the removal of trade barriers for
Ukrainian imports. The end of the price for which was guaranteed by the supply of oil from
Russia seems to be balanced by the privatization of the entire structure extraction and
distribution of hydrocarbons. Monsanto and Cargill, for a long time in the country, rushed
to secure a favored position on agriculture and food industry. The misery of the
Ukrainians will be mitigated by the intervention of the IMF and the World Bank, proving
that in addition to the role of military and covert, hand USA drove up to the war to
establish the wagon euro-atlantic this part of Europe, isolating Russia on the Asian side
and making it difficult to key in any relationship Eurasian, as was the intention of the
Government of Moscow.
TTIP
The acceleration that is having the discussion (secret) on transatlantic free trade
agreement between the EU and the US and that they identify some tissue newspapers, seems
to have become vital issue for the US and for the capital that needs to export (though
fictitious) , as the Fed continues to print billions of dollars a month.
A treaty, this includes military ties, but that confirms and ratifies the liberal policy
against any kind of government spending, common resources, which claims the privilege, an
international investor to rely on the terms of the contract, that not only privatization
the production system, or what remains of it, but of all the multi-utility and the welfare
system that is still standing in Europe.
The TTIP will be the final legal status for the expropriation of the wealth and future of
entire populations, ending with an international agreement that will see the
multinationals to compensation from the State for the lack of compliance with the
agreements made, which are not only those who ensure the sales in the European market for
chicken meat or bleach to estrogen and mass made of GMO crops, but there is also the
possibility, with the exception of wines and spirits, to be able to produce agricultural
products elsewhere in Europe that had conquered brands DOP and DOC whose imitation was so
far considered fraud.
Even the story of the attempt of the European agreement for the election of a candidate
Juncker shared by the EPP and Socialists Europeans had an attack from the right: No.
Cameron England and Hungary Orb?n have only highlighted the difficult negotiations in
progress on the Treaty and the direct impact on their political allegiance to liberal.
So far were the states that contrasted the expansionist policies of finance and
corporations, often with subterfuge that called on state security, such as sales of assets
considered strategic, railways, highways, ports, steel and chemical industries, power
plants and so on.
The guilt and debt default
Tomorrow will surely be impossible for regions, states, municipalities may exercise the
right to defend the community from transnational corporations and capital investors, who
do not want to repeat what happened to hedge funds with the support of the US Supreme
Court, namely, that they are having to deal with the Argentine government to see them
recognized the role of criminal creditors. And this is just one of the latest examples of
the role that international investors take on the debt of a country that does not have
enough political clout to counter this savagery.
The wars endemic
The wars in place for the redistribution of spheres of influence and to counter the
countries and areas with a heightened political and military weight is before our eyes:
The disintegration of the Middle East under massive intervention of dollars handed out by
the Gulf States, Saudi Arabia and Qatar in the lead; the role of regional powers Iran and
Turkey; the wars in Africa and the destruction of Libya, the story and the Ukraine have
isolated Russia from Europe and bring it closer to China, are the result of American
policies and the economic difficulties of the US. You draw a future that provides capital
to survive albeit with devastating social costs.
Poverty and pollution, depletion of lives and the environment, control of time and space
to live. draw our future.
Imperialism
If these symptoms of strategic redefinition of the imperialist powers add the arms race on
the entire globe, it seems not ruled out an extension of the ongoing conflicts. It seems a
simple equation: the crisis of overproduction of goods and capital, the birth and rise of
new economic poles and political attempts to expand financial and mercantile, re-location
of manufacturing ...
In a word imperialism that emerges as a category of interpretation of conflicts.
An enemy that we know for almost a century, we should know how to fight. With the weapons
of the international mobilization of the mass organizations of workers, the political
alliance of the revolutionary forces anti-imperialist and anti-statist, opposing the
international class solidarity militarism and nationalism.

Continue the war in the Gaza Strip ruled by Hamas, but all over the world continue the
demonstrations against Israel's warmongering choices. Since the disappearance of the three
settlers from Gush Etzion, (colony for Jews only under the total control of the state of
Israel in the West Bank), Israel has laid siege to four million Palestinians, bombing
hospitals, schools, all sorts of civilian targets, destroying and looting houses,
stealing, carrying out kidnappings, injuring and killing is so indiscriminate that
targeted outside of any international law. ---- Over five hundred Gazans were killed,
among them many women and children, and the carnage does not stop; there were no major
injuries and the terror does the rest of the people in prison who can not run away or hide
in the bunker.
Quest'ordinaria brutality is the official policy of the state of Israel led by its
military, not to mention the violence perpetrated by Israeli settlers paramilitaries,
whose constant aggression towards the Palestinian civilians Increase in recent weeks, the
latest episode is the abduction and the killing (burning alive) Mohammad Abu Khdeir.
But the goal of the government of Israel is two-fold, to avoid acceleration of the peace
agreements and to break the unity of the Palestinian government.
Since the election of Obama has continued to increase international pressure on Israel to
withdraw from territories occupied in the war of 1967. The majority of Israeli efforts
going in the direction of ease this pressure and to blow up the recent agreement between
the ' elite Palestinian government in the West Bank and the elite of the Hamas government
in the Gaza Strip. The yield of Hamas, brought to its knees by the economic crisis, the
Palestinian Authority, complicated by the choices of the Egyptian government, the threat
very seriously the project of permanent division of the Palestinians that Israel has
devoted so much effort, and the possibility of the total collapse of government Hamas in
the Gaza Strip scares Israel more than anything else.
In 2005, when Israel to dodge the request of the Palestinians to leave the occupied
territories in the 1967 war, he made a kind of retreat by evacuating its settlers from the
Gaza Strip, moving the army and put an end to his direct control over Strip, made a giant
ghetto in perpetual hostage, it controls everything that goes in and out, and all the
movements of residents. This Israeli strategy aimed at "free" part of the Gaza Strip,
aimed to prevent the court and the government on the Strip go to the Palestinian
Authority, to make it possible instead of the control was taken from the separatist
fundamentalists of Hamas, which Israel itself had sponsored years ago as a competitor to
the Palestinian elite power with which he signed the Oslo Accords 20 years ago.
Check the residents and the government in the Gaza Strip, but without which may be
entirely free from the hegemony of Israel, was the means to protect Israeli efforts in
taking the West Bank.
When the change of regime in Egypt led to the defeat of the Muslim Brotherhood, of which
Hamas is allied to the siege on Gaza is even more closely with the near-total closure of
supply routes in means and funds to the Hamas regime . In desperation, the power elite of
Hamas had reached a ceasefire agreement with the ruling elite of the Palestinian Authority
in the West Bank. This agreement was presented as a threat to the Israeli strategy of
divide-and-conquer who had worked for many years and in part justified the refusal of
Israel to a peace agreement with the Palestinian Authority and the withdrawal from the
occupied West Bank in the war 1967.
To skip this ceasefire agreement and unity that doe to overcome the divisions within the
Palestinian elite, Israel launched an attack against Hamas - both in the West Bank and the
Gaza Strip - with the hope to provoke and stir up a great battle whose outcome would be
the restoration to power of Hamas independent but weak and submissive ... But the Egyptian
government headed by General Sisi, who was the first head of the cutting of supplies to
the Gaza Strip ruled by Hamas refused to do part because of its hostility to the Muslim
Brotherhood and, consequently, to Hamas and caused the failure of this attempt. Necessary
at this point to Israel to find a reason, or disproportionately likely to be, and yet
another diversionary attack for a military offensive and the media. Hence the endless
slaughter, fake and terrible retaliation on behalf of three young and innocent victims.
It is not enough for a ceasefire and an end to the massacre momentary infinite hitting the
Palestinians along with the social forces around the world, including Israel, experience
these days, demand an end to the siege of Gaza, the restoration of civil rights, first of
all to peace and life, land and water for all / and those who live in the territories, the
cessation of illegal occupations and dual legislation.
We support all the social and political forces that are fighting in Israel and the West
Bank as a whole since low against the Israeli occupation and apartheid against
militarization. Even in these harsh weeks there have been joint demonstrations of popular
committees Palestinians, international activists and Anarchists Against the Wall, as a
form of protest, even harshly criticized by the Israeli right, the anti-war, women and men
who oppose this infamous policy of oppression and hatred and who know that building
justice together is the first step to building peace. We are all / and them.
Beyond the borders, as well as the ethnic and religious groups, as well as each state.

(en) Italy, 9th National Congress of the FdCA (Federazione dei Comunisti Anarchici) (it)
On Saturday 1 November and Sunday 2 November 2014, the FdCA ? Federazione dei Comunisti
Anarchici ? will hold its 9th National Congress at the Comune Cascina di Cingia in Cingia
de' Botti, near Cremona. ---- After a year of debate and pre-congressional seminars
dealing with a range of aspects, the FdCA Congress will be approving documents concerning
political strategy and general tactics, above all on themes such as the world of labour
and union struggles, local movements and struggles and the economic context which has
arisen out of the capitalist restructuring over the past 7 years. ---- With this Congress,
the FdCA is aiming to redefine and update its political positions as a result of the
changes in the structure and dynamics of international capitalism, in the role of the
State, in the prospects for struggle both locally and in workplaces. We hope that we can
emerge from this Congress with renewed homogeneity in our political strategy, which is the
basic tool for class-struggle anarchist action and proposals both in Italy and throughout
the world.
Congress will also have the task of drawing up a document of programmatic orientation
which will strengthen and broaden the FdCA?s capacity to be an integral part of social
struggles, to engage in political dialogue and encourage the cooperation of all militants,
so that the richness of the anarchist communist tradition and identity can feed the
project and praxis of the libertarian alternative. Experiences in struggles and movements,
the reflections and teachings accumulated in the period from the 8th Congress in 2010
until today, thus come together into a programme of action and initiative which can
support the role of activists of the libertarian revolutionary left within mass
organizations, movements, anti-capitalist and anti-authoritarian struggles, for the
construction of the libertarian alternative, for equality and freedom.

(en) Italy, Towards the general strike and social world of work in the territories, in the streets by the Federation of Anarchist Communists - FDCA (it)
[machine translation]
Unity in the struggle, unity in opposition, unity in the social reconstruction of the
freedoms and rights. ---- Predictably assurances spread and propagated by the handful of
politicians, businessmen, financiers and Confindustria the chance to recover from what was
called the crisis proved to be a colossal lie. ---- With a cumbersome task of screening
media in the name of "we need to reduce the public debt" or "we need to break down the
Fees", "Europe asks us", "we must respect the constraints imposed on the deficit", we
proceeded with the cancellation almost total workers' rights. ---- Sacrificed on the altar
of profit of the few and mortgaged any future, what we expect will be a misery becoming
increasingly common in the coming decades; you can never go back to the previous standard
of living, the restructuring of capital in place does not provide any exchange on the
level of commodification of workers to the lowest bidder, close to slavery, bent to the
blackmail of the most violent competition among the poor.
The Jobs Act is nothing more than an attempt to break those final pockets of resistance
that still stand in solidarity trade union, break the link social workers and put them in
a position of not being able to negotiate collectively their social conditions,
jeopardizing the relationship union -lavoratore, removing the latter's role in
safeguarding a union bureaucracy accomplice of the choices of capital.
Today, the streets are filled with workers who have never abdicated! This is confirmed by
the demonstrations and national strikes in schools and against the Jobs Act (17 September
10 October 24 October and 25 October, November 14, ...), logistics (16 October), the bars
(metal workers in Turin October 17, Bologna, October 16 ...).
With the difficulties that the attack creates the main trade union organization,
therefore, we respond with our ability to mobilize, knowing that building a balance of
power favorable to our class goes through a long and meticulous, bottom, struggles to
reconnect and experiences, get to work the intelligence and the will of all in order to
reconstruct the participation of employees broken down into too many sectors.
But we know that will not be the government to solve the problems of the workers. Those
who are now sitting on the benches of parliament can not be the solution to social
problems that have contributed to the outbreak; the European political class, poor and
arraffona, is an expression of big business, in the process of restructuring and aware
that the levels of accumulation are guaranteed by force against the workers.
Millions of unemployed, underemployed, blackmailed, the poor are the picture of a Europe
overwhelmed by the violence of the capitalist crisis, there is no sign saviors on the
horizon and I hope even the witches' needs.
Once again it's up to the men and women who suffer from this crisis to build the political
and trade union to defend the working class. The arrogance of power can no longer hide
behind charitable donations that you want to replace universal rights: it is under
everybody's eyes now, in fact, this class of politicians and businessmen now laid bare,
and those who still cultivates reserves at all on those who expected to find in the
friendly government the ability to save the appearance of the function of the trade union
bureaucracy weigh the facts in their denial.
Today, after the tragedy resulted from the law Fornero Monti's government on labor
sentence to life for employees and for life to the exclusion from the labor of millions of
young people (law passed by the same political class that now sits on the benches Golden
parliament), after which a class bureaucratic union not suitable for this level of
conflict has abdicated to the fight, yet the workers, the youth, the unemployed, the lower
classes who takes to the road in the streets and squares all over Europe to create
conflict and give hope in a response of solidarity and egalitarian, democratic and
libertarian, as always, is the commitment of all in the first person that can change the
existing state of things. And certainly not a bureaucratic and political class discredited
and useless to today's challenges of European workers.
The Jobs Act, the Stability Pact, the "good school renziana" and social policies of this
government can not be changed; you can not create illusions and sell for good social
mediations unacceptable.
The revival of the class struggle also involves the struggle against the governments of
the financial oligarchy, and therefore also against the government Renzi. In the workplace
and in the territories, welding the different subjectivities and generations in a global
mobilization, valuing diversity in the trade union syndicalism, accumulating ability to
fight and planning from below, to build the libertarian alternative.
Towards the general strike and social world of work, in the territories, in the squares.
Unity in the struggle, unity in opposition, unity in the social reconstruction of the
freedoms and rights.

(en) Italy, FdCA - School: with the precarious workers against insecurity and unemployment on the rubble of public schools (it)
The rubble of public school caused in the recent past by ?8,5 billion and cuts of 150,000 seats taken by the Berlusconi Government/Gelmini, prowl new Ministers and undersecretaries unlikely to promise new resources for cultural and educational project, whose educational policies are clearly positive for the acceleration of the process of conversion of the school into a trained manpower to meet the needs of a market volatile imposing-thanks to more aggressive claims crisis-as a "selection", meritocracy and funding to this aim. ---- The process that is unfolding with serious injury teaching freedom, to the level of preparation of students and for the democratic debate, requires a hierarchy of power without a counterweight that in executives and extra-contractual structures the decision-making actually centers, in spite of collegiate bodies, now forced to mere places of ratification of decisions taken elsewhereand in defiance of unions, private school now real bargaining powers and control over the actions of the other party with regard to staff and contractual funds management. The bargaining block until 2014, the resource definanziamento for income (payment of seniority with the Fund for the expansion of training), for construction and for assistance have deeply prostrate, workers increasingly intimidated by the ministerial and offensive response failure. There are now some signs of reaction strike of additional hours held in March, but above all the struggle of initiatives/insecure/teachers and scheduled for March 21 and April 11. As in any business, the precarious workers/guarantee by years, immense sacrifices price, the structural tightness of the school system. On of them is a future full of pitfalls, including include the last so-called "experimentation", in Milan and Naples high school cycles lasting just 4 years, prelude to more cuts. On 21 March, the seasonal workers will leave en masse (not granted to them and do not pay) and will organize, simultaneously, protest actions at the local level. For the April 11, then, it was called a strike by precarious public school, with national demonstration. It is desirable for the convergence on the April 11 date of the trade unions and industry associations, for a general mobilization of all workers at the school, also involving associations of parents and students. It is to resume with a determination unit for battle: ? taking indefinitely of all precarious school, teachers and ATA, through refinancing of public school and the withdrawal of the cuts Gelmini. through a system of unified recruiting and unlocking the turn-over; rejecting the call by executives, a harbinger of patronage and "normalization" of ideology; ? the regular payment of wages, holidays not taken and shots precarious and staff role; ? the withdrawal of confusing directives on Special educational needs, aimed at cutting off support, jobs to the detriment of the right to education of persons with disabilities and the integration of immigrants; ? Suppression of quiz INVALSI, which trample the autonomy of evaluation of teachers and to reshape the education on the needs outside of the learnings, although access to funding related to meritocracy; ? block funding to private school and "egalitarian"; ? the allocation of funds for the safety of schools.

(en) Italy, USI-AIT: Report on the General Strike, October 18
The day after the general strike, we can say that it was a good choice to take part in local initiatives. Below are some comments, pictures and video from various cities. Some reports from various locations. ---- It was an excellent day in Cosenza . The USI - AIT Calabria had its own initiative on the occasion of the national strike . The comrades present in the square on Sept. 11 distributed leaflets about the strike, met people interested and impressed by the claims expressed by the USI - AIT. ---- Many passers-by seemed to have a lack of information about the strike and many issues related to it. Being on the street, meeting people was a way to get around the logic of centralization and vertical integration. ---- In Florence about 600 people marched from the Santa Maria Novella station to the center of the city, based the Regional Council and Prefecture, ending at the building of the confederation of entrepeneurs, Confindustria. Striking workers marched, (mostly workers from cooperatives, health care, the post office, telecommunications, schools and universities) and students (some of which had occupied their schools). Some groups of workers also came from Sienna, Pisa, Carrara and Livorno. The demonstration was led by USI Tuscany, alternative unions and social groups. It went under the common slogan ?We are not going to pay for your crisis ? Social opposition?. The liveliest was the student block. They chanted slogans about problems of schools and universities and also general ones against the government's social polices. About 100 people were in the USI and libertarian block (the Florence Libertarian Ateneum and the Kronstadt group). Lotta di Classe, Umanita Nova and Kronstadt was given out. The problems of health care and education were central to the demonstration. They spoke about the salary freezes, on the agreement of May 31, in which the official unions agreed to limit the right to strike. Anti-war issues were also raised as well as the situation of immigrants. They had a slogan, that the bosses are guilty for unemployment, not the immigrants. At the end of the demonstration there was an assembly with an open microphone. In Modena there were pickets on October 18 and 19. In Parma the local section of USI carried out a picket at the Ospidale Maggiore hospital. About 80 people took part in the action. They gave out leaflets and informed people about the strike, telling about the difficult situation of health care due to cuts. During the action they not only drew attention to problems but made contacts with new people. In Pesaro there was a demonstration with libertarian people under the slogan ?Enough exploitation and precarity ? Social Strike?. About 300 people (mostly students) went through the historic center of the city, past the government palace. Among the demonstrators were also members of cultural associations, unions, social centers, pensioneers, unemployed and precarious workers... In Trieste there was good participation of the provincial Federation of USI-AIT. About 40 workers were in the central square carrying banners and flags. A few individual members of USB and Cobas also participated. Hundreds of leaflets were distributed and the comrades were very visible in the busy area. It proved to be a good idea to focus on events locally.
