en) wsm.ie: Homeless Direct action occupies DCC office in
Coolock by Joe Conlon
Housing direct action is took place this morning (14 Sept) at the Dublin City Council
(DCC) office in Bunratty Civic Centre, Coolock in Dublin. Mother's and their children who
are in need of housing occupied the offices in order to force the council to answer their
questions. In particular they want to know why many people are discovering there isn't
even emergency accommodation available. ---- Some of the mothers are currently living in
hotels or B&B's (which DCC pay for) with their kids while others are couch surfing in the
homes of friends and relations. There are a huge number of 'hidden homeless' in such
situations. ---- When the protesters entered the DCC office area they demanded to see the
head of staff as they wanted to discuss the cases of the homeless women, particularly 2 of
the women's cases that were present, the 2 women's cases were the worst of the cases they
wanted to push for. The 2 women and their children didn't even have a roof over their
heads not even a hotel room, B&B or the comfort of a friend's or family members sofa.
The photo shows the group meeting up in a local park around the corner from the DCC before
they marched around and occupied the offices (small photo at bottom left). They have been
talking with the local staff the most senior of which got on the phone to the main centre
at Parkgate street.
They were then told to go to Parkgate street to get answers but very sensibly said no,
they will remain in occupation until the head of the homeless section comes out to
Bunratty to answer their questions.
The most senior member of staff then came back to the protesters and said Dublin City
Council would pay for taxis for the 2 women so they could reach a solution to their
plight. After a discussion between the protesters, they collectively decided the 2 women
and 3 supporters would go with them to Parkgate street. At 1.30pm the 5 women left for
Pargate street homeless unit.
While the 5 were negotiating; back in Coolock DCC the Garda (police in Irish) were called
to remove the protesters that stayed behind.A sergeant from Coolock Garda station arrived
and told the Bunratty staff that it was a civil matter there was nothing the Garda could
do to remove the protesters.
Back in Pargate street the 5 were negotiating with the heads of the homeless unit for 1
and a half hours, the head of staff told the women that DCC would pay for a hotel or B&B
if she could find the accommodation herself. And for the second woman the head of staff
promised they'd find accommodation for her tomorrow (Tuesday the 15th of September). The 5
women then phone called the protesters in Coolock DCC office to discuss what steps to take
next.
It was decided that the protesters would accept DCC's offer and that they would leave the
offices to give DCC the chance to implement the deal they offered. The 5 women got taxis
back to where the other protesters were. (DCC payed 120 euro for the taxis). If the 2
women get accommodation tomorrow it will be a small victory for the protesting women, it
will be one step closer to their goal but there is still a long way to go.
The women that took part in the direct action done so with out the help of the local
political representatives. They took the initiative themselves, fed up with politicians
false promises and dragging their heels, they self-organized and took direct action
against the state bureaucracy and fighting for their rights.

Turkey, DAF MEYDAN #28 - Global Peace Global
Capital" - Elijah Rare (tr) [machine translation]
D he world wars and massacres in many parts of the state of progress on major conflicts of
interest. War, destruction for the oppressed, while we, advanced weapons industry,
technology, war and post-war government, and of course a great opportunity for companies
in the construction industry with a large surplus, poses a major economic resource. To
feed the war in terms of the economy, the state and an often indispensable method for
companies. ---- However, the government and companies do not always use the direct method
of warfare. Sometimes peace also, quite methodical sense to rent and exploitation "useful"
can be. ---- Global Peace Index, Indexed Annuity ---- Australia, Sydney-based Institute
for Economics and Peace ... is the most important work of the Institute for Global Peace
Index; Using data compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit and magazines as supply,
preparing for international peace institutes and think tanks involved a panel of
economists located.
All reports and data collected from studies prepared by the Institute, states,
corporations, the United Nations, as well as institutions such as the OECD and the World
Bank, their field assistance service that the global non-governmental organizations and
policy institutes (think-tanks) used by.
Institute, which periodically publishes every year and "peaceful countries ranking" also
called the report, unveiled at the end of June last year. Peace, the economy, political
stability, taking into account criteria such as the report states TCA, which ranks last
among 36 European states, but he will find himself in the world ranking of 162 countries
ranked 135. The first three in Iceland, Denmark and Austria took part. Peace Index study,
a detailed map of the world by removing the conflict and war zones, preparing detailed
reports of the emerging situation in the region.
So What Does This Mean?
We have mentioned earlier, the institute experts who prepared the Peace Index, the
Economist magazine and the magazine team, given the importance of the capitalist company,
one of the magazines that rely on data. The work carried out is not realistic to think
that the reports do not serve the interests of the company.
Stable peace in their fight to use their own interests in the global capital power "era of
peace" one of the most important institutions of the Institute for Economics and Peace
provides this support.
Report "Global Peace Index" a detailed map of their work with the world of conflict and
war zones and the Institute produces the report of the emerging situation in this region
has led to increase their capital by specifying an area where they can invest the
capitalists and the government.
All these studies are related to war and conflict zones, both in that area during the war
in order to reduce the shareholder's large surplus realized, risk averse patrons there
away, specifying their needs after the war in both these larger ones will take place and
become guides to the comprehensive exploitation and capital flows.
Furthermore, the institute is doing the analysis in geography absence of war, where the
economic situation offers choices about the investments they make with the capacity to
detect and shareholders.
In published reports drawn attention lavished economic instability, showing the state of
the economic crisis as a cause of conflict and political instability inside he lived.
However, war and peace that still harm the economy in the conflict, saying that the future
is established a trap to capture the economic stability of achieving peace. Thus, one of
the oppressed people and share essential to living together in solidarity "peace" concept,
the Institute is concerned, they are offered as a means to increase their exploitation by
companies and government.
Capitalist Peace
There's a peace definition used in studies done so far by the Institute. Positives and
negatives are handled in two different contexts, including peace. According to the study
"negative peace", it used to describe an atmosphere where there is violence. "Positive
peace" is what he's said, much more the case in the presence of violence and fear in
society. Positive peace, not just about what is political, but also associated with
socio-economic status in society. It must have a good position in terms of the community's
economic situation kosuluy for the formation of positive peace.
Institute Global Peace Index, mainly focuses on the definition of positive peace. Peaceful
society that supports and sustains behavior, structure and underlines the point supporting
the organization.
The miracle of a positive definition of peace is emerging here. Socio-economic status of
the necessary conditions for the better is armed with capitalist equilibrium of the
balance, namely capitalism and capitalist companies that as organizations that need
support for better treatment in geography with these companies and associated NGOs were
passed to the forefront.
Work, work for peace with this definition, no doubt, necessary for the continuation of the
system as well as violence, talking about a peace that will run the wheels of the
capitalist economy without risk. Make way for corporations and government as well as
detection and analysis for the incarnation of the peace's portrayal of his own design
assistant.
On the one hand looking for suitable geography of capital flows to companies with data
provided by the Institute of Economics and Peace; On the other hand the term re-make sense
of peace. Government and companies that rent and exploitation of peace in the middle.
State capitalism, peace and war ...

(en) Alt. Media, A Chat with Anarchists Gays Cuba by Gabriel
Uchida - Column 'Even Cubans' (pt) [machine translation]
Saturday early in Havana. Close to Revolution Square, the biologist Isbel Torres comes
bike bringing a vegetable basket. He will prepare a vegetarian lunch for everyone.
Optometrist Jimmy Roque, companion Isbel, awaits us in the house where they live together.
A gay and anarchist couple who live in a busy place, maybe nothing more could displease
the Cuban government. Then comes the historian Mario Castillo. All are members of the
anarchist collective Taller Libertarian Alfredo López, named after a Cuban
anarcho-syndicalist. Since 2010 the group held debates, protests and direct actions on the
island. The content of the conversation, the interview has to be done in a tone of voice a
little low, as other families also occupy parts of what was once a cultural center abandoned.
VICE: When did the Taller Libertarian Alfredo López and what you do? Mario: Our first
activity was on April 25, 2010 to organize participation in the march of May 1st. We made
an appointment to speak of anarchist origins date and then prepare posters for the march.
We had a group with affinity libertarian issues and begin from this day.
Isbel: We have done several meetings to try to impact in some way the community and take
part of the history of the anarchist movement and anarcho-syndicalist in Cuba. Rescued,
for example, the story and where Alfredo López disappeared. Hardly at school will tell you
it was an anarcho-syndicalist leader, they said it was a leader of the workers or until it
was communist.
How to be an anarchist in Cuba?
Isbel: I think the most interesting thing is having to invent. Many countries have
tradition in anarchism, but in Cuba it was totally cut off from political imagery,
references are slim to none. Here, when it turned anarchist, he does not even know that name.
Jimmy: It is difficult, has cost me a job, was fired just for being an anarchist.
And how did you know?
Jimmy: I myself said.
Besides the traditional "A", they paint arrows on the left. Photo: Collective Taller
Libertarian Alfredo López
How were the anarchists in the revolution? Alongside Fidel Castro?
Mario: The Cuban anarchists early already knew the true face of Fidel. Much politicking
knew the intentions of Castro and his whole nationalist and megalomaniac mentality,
someone was willing to do any kind of alliance to get in power.
And after the revolution, what happened with the Cuban anarchists?
Mario: they just prodded. Anarchists were a favorite front lines of the revolutionary
government. There were shootings, arrests and some were exiled.
In the 80's there are reports of a libertarian group called Zapata, that some would have
stayed in prison until he died. What happened to them? Mario: I've looked for families,
surnames and I know some were from San Cristobal and Los Palacios, but found nothing. It
seems that for fear effect and for a moment I even think it was just an invention of
people seeking anarchism history in Cuba. In over ten years of research, still in the same
place without information. After the revolution, the Communists have control of the
apparatus of culture and education, and created a new historical memory Cuba where they
are the protagonists. This caused havoc because emptied all memory of social struggle in
the country.
Since the government can tell the story of their way, you are not afraid of that in 20 or
30 years to happen the same and no one knows anything Taller Libertarian Alfredo López?
Isbel: We're talking about different circumstances. Now we have the possibility of having
our everyday history and part of our job is to document everything, making visible to
other countries like Brazil, France, Germany also know of our existence.
And as a young Cuban anarchism know if there's books and the official story does not say that?
Mario: Or do not know or by pure chance. It is possible that new technologies help us in
the internet people can also find some our work.

Collective Taller Libertarian Alfredo López
The Cuban press is tightly controlled, as is to have one voice in the country?
Mario: It's just a state tool to the process of nationalization of the social imaginary.
Watching TV is becoming a political attitude in Cuba. Among young people means that you
are part of the system and allowed to indoctrinate. People wonder, "Why do you watch that
shit?".
I see that the Cuban youth today have more proximity with Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar
than with Fidel. Why?
Mario: I personally think that control the country know wear that are having their myths,
references and symbols. And are channeling this crisis to other myths that are less
harmful to them, I think we are well aware of this symbolic passing crisis.
Isbel: The system is emptied towards a youth perspective. Where are the codes of beauty
and success? In capitalism. Created such a boring society that all successful and beauty
images are fetched out there, that is, this society has no ability to create such references.
Mario: If references that young people seek are harmless to the status quo, no problem for
the government. They think in the short term, do not care about what will happen in Cuba
in 20 years.
And what will happen in 20 years?
Mario: It will be a "normal" country, capitalist, with ultra rich, gentrified
neighborhoods, racism, environmentally destroyed.
What is your opinion on the changes of a possible end to the US economic embargo?
Isbel: The US government will change the strategies to achieve the same. This relationship
will convert Cuba into what was before the revolution - a place for leisure and tourists.
That means a huge impact on the environment, for example. The entire coast is now being
prepared to be explored further and get more cruises. This tour will victimize Cuba.
After the revolution, all have home, health, study. To what extent is this true?
Isbel: The problem of housing is one of the most serious. There are people who lost their
homes because of a cyclone in 2005 and has not yet homeless, are in hostels. Additionally,
the normal is three generations living in the same house, which generates large family
conflicts. Imagine for the LGBT community, as it is difficult to live in places so if the
others did not accept him.
Mario: And there are already slums in provincial capitals. When you pass by train Camagüey
, they tell the passengers to agree and close the windows because they can be attacked
during the night. And education has been universalized, everyone has access but was also
fully nationalized and subordinated to the interests of a ministerial elite. It is an
authoritative and much propaganda education.
Jimmy: In health there is much bureaucracy, it is very difficult to arrive at a
specialized consultation because it has to get many roles.
Mario: The most important capitalization source of the state today are the Cuban doctors
to other countries like Brazil and Venezuela. This creates a national health system
compression process.
Isbel: The priority is to export doctors, so many offices here are not professionals. It's
not that Cuba is driven by a humanitarian sense, it is only sending doctors to places
where they have more money.

At times you do not feel very close to the right in its claims?
Isbel: I think so, but it's a matter of perspective. The Cuban national dissent, the right
is an opposition that does not have many proposals. They respond to a common sense very
simple demands of human rights and democratic freedoms, basically trying to normalize tub
as the rest of the world. There are many elements which also claim such as freedom of
expression, human rights, but the problem is the country you envision for the future. To
the right it comes to creating a country "standard", but for us it means a radical change
in development paradigm and fuller emancipation. Dissent only criticizes the pace of
change, they want to be faster. For us the problem is not the speed but the direction of
change, where does all this - and here there is a radical difference between us.
What is worse for Castro, a Yankee capitalist or a Cuban anarchist? Jimmy: A Cuban
anarchist, obviously. Because the other has the same thought Castro.
And what is worse for a Cuban anarchist, a Yankee capitalist or a communist like Castro?
Mario: Neither are useful to the society in which we dream.
Isbel: How you question presupposes a dichotomy, but there is that. Within the anarchist
perspective, both options are equal. Even the Cuban State is already creating spaces where
he is retreating and giving any chance to the large foreign capital. An example is the
port of Mariel, made with Brazil's investments and that is precisely a future space
directly worker exploitation.
Mario: There is no conflict, is the same. They are perfectly allies. To open a small
capitalist enterprise here, you go on the municipal body and give you permission. But to
create a cooperative has to get permission from the State Council, the highest authority
of government, which may not give you anything. That is, the Cuban government relies more
capitalist than in the self-management of workers.
March of May 1st. Photo: Collective Taller Libertarian Alfredo López
And how is the repression of the Cuban government?
Isbel: We have strong repression experiences, what we have is constant vigilance houses,
phones, e-mails. This is not because we suspect we have evidence. In 2009 there was a
march against violence in Havana and the following year, using just our phones, we call
another march on the same date. But it was all fake, it was just to make fun of the state
security. We spent at the venue and was all the safety device occupying the place.
Mario: After 50 years of institutionalization of fear, no longer is very much needed the
explicit repression. Fear is already installed in society, this is enough. As well as the
police in Brazil have batons and pepper gas, they also have the same here, but know they
have no great need to use.
Photo: Collective Taller Libertarian Alfredo López
What happens if the police find us here, three anarchists and an international journalist?
Isbel: Nothing happens.
Mario: It can happen anything.
Jimmy: One day locked up in jail, maybe.
Isbel: Precisely because we do not know what can happen already gives the idea of the kind
of country we live in. The power structure does not work in exactly the legality, you have
a course of them, act as they wish.

(en) wsm.ie: Refugees Welcome! Racists Out! Counter protest
in Belfast
The Protestant Coalition has called for a "Protest against refugees/terrorists heading to
the U.K" to be held in Belfast City centre on the 27th of September. ---- The Protestant
Coalition is a far-right, loyalist and British nationalist party that was founded in 2013
as an angry reaction to Belfast City Council's decision to only fly the Union Jack on
designated days of the year as opposed to everyday of the year. Among those who founded
the party is the ludicrous Willie Frazer, a man known for his one-man protests outside of
children's parks as well as accusing a school of being "the junior headquarters of SF/IRA
youth" for flying the Italian flag. ---- It is clear that this protest has been organised
as a crass and racist response to the massive outpouring of solidarity that has been seen
across Europe with those seeking refuge from their war-torn native countries.
Belfast itself has seen a torrent of solidarity with the refugees, with drop-in centres
having had to ask for no more donations within days of their openings.
The Protestant Coalition, UKIP and the BNP are kissing cousins, with their far-right,
racist views being just one of their many misguided and incorrect political views that
they share.
In response, an Anti-Fascist counter protest (link to the event is in the comments) has
been organised to show the racists of the Protestant Coalition and their supporters that
their views are not welcome here.
It wasn't too long ago that some of us on this island were forced to flee as a result of
British imperial economic policies that meant that food was shipped out of Ireland while
the peasantry starved during the Great Hunger of 1845-48. In the North we are no strangers
to having to seek refuge as a result of pogroms or religious persecution, even if it was
only a matter of moving a couple of miles down the road across to the other side of the
border.
Fascists and racists are not welcome here; refugees are.

(en) Indonesia, anarkis.org: Nationalism Local Products: Who
Benefited? [machine translation]
Nationalism has become an ideology that we have encountered in all aspects of our lives as
citizens of Indonesia. Gues that our education from primary school level, or even
kindergarten, giving us the charges that instill the spirit of nationalism into our minds.
Flag ceremony performed every Monday and Independence Day Celebration in schools is also
one of the efforts of educators to foster nationalist learners. Inevitably, being a
nationalist is considered a necessity as someone who lives within the territory of the
Republic of Indonesia. ---- Nationalism is seen as something that is inherently good.
Labeled as a nationalist who does not make us feel uncomfortable so we are trying to show
that we are someone who nationalists through our actions.
Manifestations of nationalism then appeared in various forms. From the form of support for
Indonesia's national football team in the international arena, to the aggressive form,
such as hatred towards the neighboring country. The manifestations appear also in our
consumption patterns. We are invited to support local products. Jargon like "love
Indonesian products" diperdengungkan repeatedly in public media. We also believe that by
buying local products, we have helped the national economy; that buying local products is
our solidarity to fellow Indonesian nation. Formed a kind of understanding that by
continuing to buy local products, the welfare of Indonesian society became a necessity.
The original product label Indonesia had become a kind of selling point for local
entrepreneurs. "Buy our product, you have contributed to the welfare of the Indonesian
people," so to speak the message they want to convey. It is certainly disturbing
nationalist spirit potential buyers. Planting nationalism very intensively conducted by
the government, education practitioners, and the general public make the tactics fairly
effective. Who ever does not want to show their nationalism in romanticism hegemony of
nationalism that exist in this country?
Buy Indonesian products then become a trend in itself, but of course, foreign products are
also still survive in the market. Support local products does not necessarily mean having
to stop buying foreign products. Moreover, not all of our needs can be met by local
products. Importantly, the products of local production also we buy. Especially products
that show 'to the Indonesian-ness' we.
Batik is a typical example of local products are loved by people of Indonesia since the
past few years, especially since the batik confirmed as World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.
Coupled with the issue of Malaysia who wish to claim batik as part of their culture.
Buying and using local produce batik, which is native to Indonesia is perceived as one of
the way we participate in preserving and promoting the culture of Indonesia Indonesian
economy then (expected) will bring the people of Indonesia to prosperity.
Actually, the premise is not entirely wrong, because there must be (the) peace from the
sale of local products. Only, perhaps because we've been absurdly swallow nationalist
propaganda, we forgot to question, "the people of Indonesia which one will prosper if we
buy local products?". Either we do not know or deliberately do not care that there are
different classes of the society in the nation. Nationalism cover the difference by saying
that all of society must unite for the common interest as a nation. When in fact, they do
not have the same interests as a result of their hierarchies and classes in society.
In a review in Etnohistori on September 18, 2013, there is a heartbreaking story of how
the commodification of batik by the capitalists make batik workers in the village of Mbayu
Sumurip, Imogiri, Bantul, Yogyakarta, all women become alienated from the products they
make itself. Small and Medium Enterprises that rely on traditional networks and a handful
of intermediaries or the buyer does not guarantee that workers can ultimately manage
independently its own production tools (self-managed). Those intermediaries manipulate
wages to buy batik claim workers at low prices and then resell them at higher prices.
Wages given to workers batik is diverse; depending on the media which became the main base
material, size, and complexity. When the media material is cloth with plain shawl size
priced at Rp 35,000. For fabric of size 2 × 1 meter with a simple motif or being priced at
Rp 75,000 - Rp 125,000. As for the motive that is very complicated to measure the same
fabric that the processing time could take a month priced at Rp 200,000 - Rp 250,000 only.
This figure is certainly not comparable to the price of batik when it entered into a large
store or department store where prices batik shawl can be appreciated to $ 150,000. Even
for intricate patterned batik cloth price could reach Rp 600,000 to millions of rupiah.
Some other events that harm the batik workers also often occur. One of the workers only
get paid once the clothes are worth Rp 20,000 after doing batik complicated for two weeks,
because it is considered less quickly by the buyer.[1]
Meanwhile, the batik workers in Pandak, Bantul, Yogyakarta only paid Rp 20,000 - Rp 22,000
per day. Imogiri, there are batik workers are paid only Rp 150,000 per week.[2] in Tuban
even more sad again, the workers only paid Rp 3,000 for a piece of batik cloth.[3] While
in the village Kemplong, Kepatihan, Mayangan and Village Waru, District Wiradesa,
Pekalongan, batik workers are paid Rp 9,000 per day should also be laid off.[4]
Realities on the ground it's not as sweet as the rhetoric offered by nationalism. Buying
local products does not necessarily lead to prosperity masyarat Indonesia. At least, not
the working class society which is becoming increasingly prosperous, but the bourgeoisie,
especially the local bourgeoisie. Nationalism has an important role in the efforts of the
bourgeoisie to keep the existing class system. Nationalism is the key factor in their
efforts to obscure the reality of the existence of class differences in society and make
those who oppose the hierarchy accept it as a natural thing.
Nationalism never be a solution to the economic problems that are very basic, the class
inequalities. Nationalism is not a threat to capitalism and the class system is at the
root of these disparities. Conversely, nationalism instead become a tool for the local
bourgeoisie to maintain privileges they have. As Mikhail Bakunin on the French bourgeoisie:
"I'm not saying that it is unpatriotic bourgeoisie; otherwise, patriotism, in its most
narrow, is their main virtue. However, the bourgeois love their country just because, for
them, the State secured the privileges of economic, political, and social development. "[5]
The government's call to love Indonesian products is a form of State protection against
the privileges of the local bourgeoisie. The appeal gives the national capitalists
advantage in competing against foreign capitalists; nationalist sentiment in the products
they produce by exploiting local labor.
The community was convinced that the interests of the local capitalists are common
interests as a nation. We can not see the economic problem with the mentality of Us vs.
Them; against a foreign national. Suppression of the national capitalists did against
local workers do not become more understandable than exploitation by foreign capitalists.
It is time we look at the economic problems that exist with the class perspective and
against the real enemy, the capitalist economic system that exploits the working class
around the world![]
