Solidarity Demo today against State Attacks

original en castellano abajo

In recent years we have seen an increase in repression against anarchists and other rebels in the Spanish state.

The latest example has been the large-scale operations Pandora and Piñata. Acting in response to the growth of activity and movement as well as the uprisings across the country, especially in Catalonia, the state has arrested dozens of companions under the pretext of anti-terrorism law. The goal has been to implement a climate of fear and inaction.

Although most of the accused are already out of prison, all still have charges pending trial. Now is our time to show that their attempts to silence will not work and that their actions have consequences. June 13 is a day of action by all those indicted and prosecuted,In Barcelona there will be a combative demonstration and in Madrid also near the start of a campaign. We appeal to international solidarity and support in the form which they deem appropriate.

En los ultimos años hemos visto un aumento de la represion contra los anarquistas y otros rebeldes, en el estado español.

El ultimo ejemplo han sido las operaciones a gran escala Pandora y Piñata. Actuando como respuesta al crecimiento de la actividad y movimiento asi como de las revueltas en todo el pais, especialmente en Cataluña, el estado ha arrestado a una docena de compañeros bajo el pretexto de la ley antiterrorista. El objetivo ha sido el de implantar un clima de miedo e inaccion.

Aunque la mayoria de los imputados estan ya fuera de prision, todos siguen teniendo cargos pendientes de juicio. Ahora es nuestro momento de mostrarles que sus intentos por silenciarnos no funcionaran y que sus acciones tendran consecuencias. El 13 de junio es un dia de accion por todos aquellos encausados y perseguidos, tanto en las ultimas operaciones como en otras. Ese dia en barcelona habra una manifestacion combativa y en madrid tambien junto al inicio de una campaña. Hacemos un llamamiento a la solidaridad y el apoyo internacional de la forma que cada cual considere apropiada.

Is Liberal Feminism even Feminism any more? + 56 Comments!

we reprint this great post from DavinaSquirrel with thanks Firstly, what feminism is: Feminism is a political movement for the emancipation and liberation for all females, regardless of race, class, sexual orientation, reproductive status, disability status, etc. Secondly, what feminism is not: Feminism is not a catch-all social justice movement (although sometimes areas that affect women do become highlighted). Feminism is not a social club, after school activity at uni, an identity, or a hobby. Feminist is not something you are by virtue of your birth as a female.

While feminism may benefit other members of society (ie males) that is not our primary aim, more of a knock-on effect. This can be seen in the very few countries with a female majority government in combination with feminist principles. In short, all of society benefits from female liberation, disproving the (MRA) lie that a matriarchy is just the reverse of a patriarchy with males becoming the oppressed class. In the current circumstances of a patriarchy, all men benefit from a system of male domination and female subjugation, whether they like it, or reject it, or not.

A very small percentage of males with a social conscience will champion social justice causes, including feminism. This however, does not automatically make them “a feminist”, but a “feminist ally”, in the same way a white person working for black justice is an ally.

Zaragoza Occupiers declare for Anarchism

en Castellano abajo

Statement from the Assembly of the Kike Mur Occupied Social Center (CSO ), in Zaragoza

June , 2015 It is time to do some thinking, to confirm our commitment and to forge ahead.

The Assembly of the squatted social center Kike Mur has been, for over four years, giving life to an abandoned building and putting into practice the assemblyism, horizontality and anti-authoritarian methods.

We believe that it’s now a good idea to make a political definition of the reality we have been creating throughout our history. We have self-organized by way of a free association of people working together and trying to be equal. We decide, we act and we take responsibility for managing the resources.

anarchist book fair.at Kike Mur CSO…

We define ourselves as anarchists. This will not entail any change in the management of the CSO, and in our lives, but fulfills the need to define the attitude with which we organize ourselves and the work we do within this space.

For these reasons,
DEATH TO THE STATE AND LIVE ANARCHY! Continue reading “Zaragoza Occupiers declare for Anarchism”
