All authoritarians, capitalists and climate criminals hate the Rojava revolution.

‘The Fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value. A Supreme dictator embodies the fascist State, using terror as a tool of control because when humans are scared, they are easy to control and manipulate’.
‘Fear is the ultimate weapon for it works on your own people as well as your enemies. (see:Erdogan Jails and Tortures 195,000 People who Might not Like Him) Add to the mix some flag-centric nationalism, total control of the media, some uber-macho militarism and a corporatist hierarchy that puts the “right” people of the master race in power, and you’ve got the makings of a top notch fascist regime’.
Chile’s President Piñera says foreign intervention and a conspiracy are behind the recent protests. But protesters say what’s happening is an explosion of long-contained rage against poverty, inequality, and oppression.
shared from Left Voice by Tatiana Cozzarelli All over the world, people are rising up. Just in the last month, there have been uprisings in Lebanon, Ecuador, Iraq, Catalonia, Haiti, and Chile. On Friday, a thousand people were jumping over turnstiles at a subway station in Brooklyn to protest against high fares and police violence. Is the global revolt coming to the U.S.?

up. Just in the last month, there have been uprisings in Lebanon,
Ecuador, Iraq, Catalonia, Haiti, and Chile. All over the world,
austerity measures are being publicly questioned by the masses in the
streets. All over the world, the working class and oppressed are saying
that enough is enough.

And these protests are being led by young people—people who grew up in the wake of the 2008 crisis, seeing the wealthy get wealthier while they and their parents have to tighten their belts. Some of these youth know, either implicitly or explicitly, that capitalist politicians will only offer us false promises. If we want to win, we need to take the struggle in our own hands.
As Prime Minister Boris Johnson gears up for a snap election,
his government made a surprise U-turn on shale gas extraction, citing
public concerns and technological limits on predicting the impact of
fracking on the environment.
Johnson’s administration announced on Friday that it would “take a presumption against” any new fracking projects, “until compelling new evidence is provided.”
While the move was presented as an immediate moratorium on the
controversial practice, the official announcement makes clear the
government would still consider requests for fracking licenses “on their own merits,” potentially rendering the decision a virtue signal to Green voters in the upcoming poll.
The new indefinite occupation is just 2 streets from Plaça Catalunya which was the main location where anti-government protests and sit ins began in May 2011 in Barcelona, mirroring the events in other Spanish cities, and an inspiration to the Occupy movement which snowballed worldwide..
Defying extreme police violence and the jailings by the politically controlled courts the massive demonstrations continue. The fast growing street camp blocks the main Gran Via street right outside the university. The occupation defies the Spanish authorities to order an eviction just days before yet another General Election on Nov 10th.
Hundreds of students have been camping since Wednesday in Plaça Universitat in the centre of Barcelona, protesting the Supreme Court’s verdicts and the repression of the independence movement, as well as calling for a “dignified future”, citing issues like the lack of social housing, full equality between men and women and the need for “real measures to stop the climate emergency”.
📣 Per la independència dels Països Catalans, vine i acampa!

The students, calling themselves the Generation of the 14th October after
the day Spain’s Supreme Court announced its decision to send
pro-independence Catalan leaders to prison for up to 13 years on charges
including sedition, currently have no intention to leave the square. A
call they made on social media for help with provisions drew a large
response from the public.

1 November 2019
US President Donald Trump blamed the historic mass protests that have gripped Chile for the past two weeks on “foreign efforts”
