(en) Sweden, Press Release - the Anarchist Book Fair Stockholm returns in Saturday, August 22 2015 at 10:00am (UTC+02)

The Anarchist Book Fair Stockholm opens again its doors to a book fair with lectures, 
seminars and book stalls the 22th of august in Solidarity House, Södermalm, Stockholm. 
---- In today's political climate when attacks are focused toward minorities, 
LGBT-struggle, international solidarity and grassroots movement the need for a radical 
political struggle becomes more and more important. Our goal is to let the anarchist book 
fair be a part of the movement that is needed to face these threats and to create a space 
where ideas can meet and where we can look upon international as well as national 
struggles from perspectives that are usually missing in the public debate, a meeting space 
for activists as well as others with an interest in an anarchist theory and practice.

The main theme of the book fair will be about principles within anarchism as changing 
methods and how we can apply these principles in our everyday life. Our anarchism has 
always been a heterogeneous and dynamic ideology adapted to the prevailing situation and 
social development. Those principles may include to criticize authority and to find other 
non-authoritarian ways to organize, whether the idea is to criticize patriarchal 
structures, capitalistic structures in our everyday life, or other types of hierarchy in 
our workplaces. It is about seeing the importance of daring to use direct action as a 
method for change instead of relying on political parties and other hierarchical institutions.

We will pay attention to this through lectures and seminars on the theme of anarchist 
principles in relation to minorities, LGBT-struggle, international solidarity and 
grassroots movement and more. We need your help to make this book fair as successful as 
possible, so if you or an organization in which you are active can contribute something so 
please let us know. Firstly, if you want to be active with the organization and planning 
of the anarchist book fair or whether you are interested in having a stall or hold a 
seminar or lecture during the fair.

The anarchist book fair is an event open to all and it is now possible to announce your 
interest to us. State organization, contact information (person, number and email), and 
the preamble to your lectures or activities. Organizations must specify number of tables 
and pay a recommended fee of 100 Swedish kroner or 10 euros per table. If the cost would 
prevent you from attending, then please contact us for a solution.

(en) Sweden, SAC International Committee: From Stockholm to Kiev - The Working Class has No Nation

Located in central Kiev, Maidan Square is still under occupation. Occupied by fascists, 
nationalists, and other groups who want to advance their own specific agendas. Burnt out 
houses, barricades, photos of those killed during the clashes, and banners brandishing 
nationalist sentiments evoke eerie feelings of unreality. No fascist mobilization as 
massive as this could have ever have taken place in central Kiev if it had not been pinned 
up by a wide-spread acceptance of nationalism in society in general. ---- We have just 
returned from a visit to our comrades in the Autonomous Workers Union (AWU) in Kiev, 
Ukraine. After having heard their stories and shared their experiences, the consequences 
of a normalization of nationalism become painfully obvious.

The AWU as a group grew out of the autonomous leftist milieu in Kiev
in 2011. This group has not only managed to withstand the pressures of
these last few hard years ? they have also managed to plan for their
future growth and how to strengthen their organization by organizing
in their places of work. Despite being a quite new organization, they
have already helped to block draconian reforms of the country?s labour
laws, and have managed to transform issues like feminism, HBTQ
questions, and antifascism into the public limelight. These topics are
not uncontroversial in the Ukraine of today.

We feel we have much to learn from our comrades in the east. In times
of crisis it becomes more important than ever before to remember that
we have more in common with working people from all over the world
than the bosses lumbering over our backs. And in order to do this, we
must yet again start brandishing battle-worn concepts such as
internationalism and international solidarity.

It is totally alright if you happen to like the place where you were
born or where you live. But this is not at all the same thing as
claiming that these places belong to you and those with a background
similar to yours exclusively. Nationalism is not just some harmless
notion ? quite the opposite. If you let a political party like the
Sweden Democrats keep on spewing their hate, do not come acting
surprised a few years later, when speaking about ?caring for the
national gene pool? and other such follies have turned into
uncontroversial dinner topics. This is how things are in Ukraine right
now. We can already see how the acceptance and normalization of
extreme right-wing ideas is spreading in our societies. This is a
gradual development, which makes it very important for us to be
vigilant and more than clear when making our stand; there can be no
compromising when speaking about where our interests lie.

We will continue our struggle in our everyday lives. We will organize
ourselves, together with our co-workers ? in the schools, the
universities, the neighbourhoods, and in the streets. We will continue
our efforts in building a vital, international syndicalist movement.

(en) Sweden, SUF celebrates 20 years since its founding in 1993

The Swedish Anarcho-syndicalist Youth Federation is celebrating its 20 years of its 
existance, and you are invited! ---- In the early 90's, the political, social and economic 
map of the world was destined to be changed forever, and there was no guarantee if 
reaction or progress would fill the power vacuum. The Soviet bloc was on the brink of 
collapse. In Sweden, a new generation of white supremacists, extreme rightists and nazis 
took to the streets to do the bidding of the masters of the new world order. As a 
consequence of the increasingly unregulated internationalized flows of capital, ever-more 
severe regional and global economic crisis started pounding the dispossessed of this 
world. It was obvious that even that which had seemed like a "perfect" Scandinavian 
middle-way started to give way; the hegemony of the Social democrat leadership which had 
been more or or less constantly in power in Sweden post-WWII was crumbling.

The formation of many local clubs of anarcho-syndicalist youths in different cities in 
Sweden became the spontaneous response to these new economic and political realities. An 
increasingly violent reactionary racist movement begun to gain traction as unemployment, 
privatization and industrial displacement came to the fore, and a new kind of Class War 
was gearing up again in the societes of the "perfect welfare states" in Scandinavia. Thus, 
it was obvious that things would never be the same, and for young people in Sweden, the 
old ideals fo anarcho-syndicalist direct action seemed more relevant than ever before. 
This is why, in 1993, the SUF, the Swedish Anarcho--syndicalist Youth Federation, was 
reconstituted in its modern form formed when youths from Joe Hill's old hometown of G?vle, 
the non-marxist radical youth in the university city of Uppsala and libertarian youngsters 
from the island of Gotland met up in Uppsala and decided to join forces.

In just a few years, it had become obvious for politicians, union fat-cats and the average 
joe on the street that this new SUF was a poltiical force be reckoned with, as it soon 
became one of the fastest growing extra-parliamentary youth movements in Sweden, with a 
magazine of it's own called - Direkt Aktion, still published today. It set the tone for 
tactics and outlook on the neo-liberal policies of the IMF/WTO and other institutions 
during the surge of the globalization movement of the 90's (with 20-25 000 people 
partcipating in the protests against the EU summit in Gothenburg 2001). From these first 
three local groups a federation was formed which came to spread all over Sweden, 
encompassing 55 local groups at it's height, nowadays having a presence in about 30 
cities, spread all over Sweden. As with many other libertarian youth groups, SUF became 
the "plant school" for thousands of activists who have since gone on to other progressive 
projects, strikingly often involved in the regeneration of the syndicalist union SAC, but 
also in campaigns like the No one is illegal-movement and radical union locals of all sorts.

WIth campaigns such as planka.nu, inspired by autonomist ideas of the social factory and 
the social strike, the founding of Piratbyr?n and the The Pirate Bay, and cooperating in 
networks with many other social movements, the SUF is still a strong force in Swedish 
politics, providing working class youth with an indedent, self-organized and confident 
alternative to the stagnant ideas of statism and reformism espoused by the many different 
strands of stalinist, socialist and social democratic parties who still try to divide us 
young students, workers, and unemployed at the stage in history when precarity, increasing 
commercialization of our educational systems and all-to-simple racist explanations are 
threatening all the gains we've made over the last 100 years.
Quote:

This means that we belive it to be possible - and nessesary - to confront capitalism 
not only in the workplaces, but that this also must be done in schools, universities, 
local communities etc. This can be done in many ways and we respect and value a diversity 
of tactics.

From the SUF statement of principles in English -https://suf.cc/english.php

Thus, now young (as well as once young) syndicalists from over all over the world are now 
invited to Uppsala for the 20th anniversary of the founding of the modern SUF the 12th of 
October 2013 - the very same date as the "day of civil courage" which is celebrated each 
year in remembrance of the syndicalist warehouse worker Bj?rn S?derberg, assassinated by 
nazis in 1999 for having revealed their plans to try to take over the social democrat 
union local at his workplace.

There will be exhibitions, talks, old stories told, a gala dinner, live acts (amongst 
others the popular Swedish-Finnish hiphop/grime artists Max Peezay- winner of the P3 Gold 
Hiphop/Soul category in 2007), DJ:s, soccer tournament, and of course a manifestation in 
memory of Bj?rn S?derberg and all victims of fascism world-wide.

If you happen to be in Sweden, feel welcome to attend today - send a mail to sog at suf.cc 
for information on how to RVSP - 150 kr at the door, 100 kr early bird). Please note that 
this is an alcohol and drug-free event.

(en) Sweden,To a country on fire - Open letter from the Pantrarnas skrivgrupp

Open letter from the Pantrarnas skrivgrupp (an anti-authoritarian community organizing 
group in Gothenburg) to their sister group Megafonen in Stockholm. --- First and foremost 
we are writing this for our brothers and sisters in Megafonen. We were speaking on the 
phone just now, and suddenly you stopped in the middle of a sentence, saying: ---"There's 
another car burning, we got to go". --- You are standing in the middle of the storm. Your 
world is burning. And we are writing this to tell you that we know what you are going 
through, that we admire how you've handled the events of the last few days. ---- A couple 
of years ago cars were burning in Biskopsg?rden. The cops did as they pleased those 
nights, and at the break of dawn the politicians did the same with words.

You know the score: the burnt-out cars, the broken glass on the streets: it seems like 
such an easy thing to condemn if you're seeing it from the outside. And now, that's what 
they demand from you when you are trying to say something about this uprising: you can 
never be allowed try to explain, you are just to join in the choir of condemnations; the 
choir saying that burning a car, smashing a window, is something unforgivable. But no 
matter what you say, it'll never be enough. For them, you'll never be able to write and 
say it enough times, despite having written and spoken about this so many times before: 
that you do not believe violence is a suitable method for achieving social change.

In TV studios and on the net, you are again and again doing the right thing when you 
persist in explaining the fires instead of just delivering blanket condemnations of the 
youths. Because those who condemn actions without trying to explain them are also 
condemning the thoughts and experiences that gave rise to these actions.

To those of you who are watching these events from the outside we write this to ask you: 
Can you understand the hand which throws a rock at a police car? Could you even try to?

Imagine yourself as a kid, bullied for your accent and the way you look. The alienation. 
Pointless teachers sitting behind their desks earning their pointless wage. By lighting 
your first cigarette in primary you are hoping to become more accepted. You start hanging 
out with friends and together you try to roll with it. You become shaped by what you see.

Being strong is hard if there are no role models around. Maybe you don't have as good 
contact with your family as you could have. Maybe you lost your mother or father during 
the war in Iraq. Maybe you lost your siblings during the war in Afghanistan. War-injured 
in Palestine.

During your teenage years, there's nobody there to listen to you. There's no one you can 
turn to. You are trying to make a life for yourself, but there's nothing to do. You apply 
for job after job, but Daniel Svensson is chosen ahead of you every fucking single time. 
You start losing heart. Try to seek out other ways. Some of you end up taking a wrong 
turn, others come out OK.

There are many voices saying that you have to make it for yourself, but things aren't that 
easy. The pigs are constantly harassing you. Weed is abundant. There is an itching 
temptation in your hand. Will you do it, or back off? Mounting peer pressure, and you find 
yourself agreeing to things you'd never do on your own. You feel as if there's no future 
for you. You're standing there with a rock in your hand. You're standing there with your 
life in your hands. Are you going to throw?

Megafonen. We think you are correct in judging the events in your suburb this last week a 
community uprising. We believe it is correct to point out that what we are dealing with 
are youth riots, nor nonpolitical disturbances, but precisely an uprising; a reaction, 
which is what you wrote in your last communique: "unemployment, substandard schools, and 
structural racism are the root causes to today's events".

When you find yourselves wavering, ask yourself this: what had this week been like if you 
hadn't been there? Maybe a retired old man had been shot to death in his apartment in a 
suburb and no one would have cared. Maybe. That's an answer: if you hadn't taken a picture 
of the body bag that was smuggled out in the middle of the night, despite police claims 
that the man had died at a hospital several hours before?then perhaps no one would have 
cared, and it would all have been back to business as usual.

But caring about someone dying is doing the right thing. Demanding truth instead of lies 
when police talk to media about a dead body is doing the right thing.

When you organized the protest which some critics now single out as the spark which 
ignited the flames of revolt in the suburbs, you were doing the right thing.

Ask yourselves this: what is there to connect H?sselby or Fittja?where the summer night 
fires are also burning?with the man who was shot to death in an apartment in Husby? 
Nothing, maybe. What connection do you members of Megafonen have to the deceased? You 
didn't know him, he wasn't a relative. But there's something that connects us all. We feel 
sorrow when one of us dies. We stand in solidarity with each other. We live together, in 
our community.

We support you in every possible way. We know how frustrating it can feel standing where 
you are now standing, steadfastly trying to explain rather than condemn.

In Hammarkullen there are sometimes mounted police at the square. In Biskopsg?rden there 
are CCTV cameras that register whatever happens in the court yards. In Fr?lunda there are 
now rumors of commotions?calls and text messages whispering that maybe the uprising is 
spreading to Gothenburg, where we are struggling with the same kinds of problems as you in 
Stockholm: the militarization of the suburbs, the police brutality, the social regression. 
Summer is coming; yet another year. The sound of mopeds buzzing back and forth between the 
tower blocks. There's always this suffocating feeling in the suburbs. You know. The 
feeling that there's nobody listening, that no one is interested in stories about racist 
police, harassment, brutality. The feeling that maybe it takes fire for certain voices to 
be heard.

Now there are fires. We are standing here, together. Pantrarna and Megafonen.

If we didn't exist, who would then have taken on the responsibility of trying to 
understand the shadows roaming our streets with rocks in hand? These shadows who were born 
in Swedish hospitals and consequently registered at the Swedish tax agency; these shadows 
who have attended Swedish schools and who have hung out in youth Swedish youth centers and 
who want to work, pay taxes and die in this country, shadows that our Prime Minister still 
is capable of transforming into strangers by saying that their actions are the product of 
"cultural thresholds" - and as you, our friends in Megafonen, know, this is the only way 
in which he has attempted to explain the uprising: it's all about angry, young men that 
just need to overcome certain cultural thresholds in order to gain access to our broader 
society.

There's no need for us to point out the banality and racism of this statement.

There are shadows moving in this nation.

To all the politicians of Sweden... we instead write this:

The people elected you. The people is all of us, together. The police are abusing their 
power and look upon us who have no uniform as dirt. That's why we call the pigs. It's as 
simple as that. We have grown tired of constantly hearing those in power repeating a 
limited number of words that mean exactly nothing. Take action instead of just talking. Be 
of some use. For example, you could establish an independent agency for investigating the 
police.

It is you who are in power, after all ? so do something to help the people who elected you 
to sit there raking in the millions of kronor to your bank accounts. The crap wages the 
teachers get make them lose hope. They sit behind their teacher's desk without giving a 
damn. And so on. Cause and effect. If you insist on reducing every single political 
question to a police matter, then maybe we just should start electing police instead of 
politicians.

Yet another part of society died in that Husby apartment. That's why there are fires.

But you already knew that.

Finally. To all kids of the community out there in the streets.

All our brothers and sisters. Just stay cool. Of course, media will stop reporting when 
things have cooled down in your community. They will pack their stuff and disappear for 
now. They're not interested in listening to your voices, your stories of police brutality, 
run-down schools, housing in need of restoration, closed-down community centers, 
discrimination. What they want are the burning cars, the smashed windows. That's why you 
have to go on reporting on your lives for yourselves when this uprising is over.

Media will inevitably malign your communities and write falsehoods.

Demand corrections.

There's one thing we might learn from this. Our voices do count. And if there's nobody 
else to listen to us, then we just have to talk to each other.

The Sweden Democrats are likely to gain another few votes, but we can never let ourselves 
be silenced. We will never shut up, we will speak, together. If they sow your lips shut, 
then you'll have to cut the stitches using your voices.

Our pockets might be penniless, but our eyes are rich.

All power to the people.
