Corrupt Unions control huge Madrid demo

Spanish firemen demo.The Cuts have stripped us naked!' — Spanish firemen demo.The Cuts have stripped us naked!’

Ten enormous marches, up to half a million strong, assembled and proceeded to the center of Madrid, mainly public sector workers and families, affected by the savage cuts, closures, sackings and tax hikes which are getting worse by the day.

The Unions have conspicuously REFUSED to call a new General Strike for 26th Sept when there is a regional one in Euskadi and in Greece as well.

It has been left to the minority anarcho syndicalist CGT union to call a countrywide Strike for 31 October, and call for other groups to join in.

The State is locked into an ‘eat your tail’ spiral where the more money they borrow Continue reading “Corrupt Unions control huge Madrid demo”

Adbusters call for horizontal Revolution

A message from Adbusters: Look at what’s happening in Quebec … the boldness of the media democracy movement in Mexico … the teenagers leading an education revolt in Chile … the Pussy Riot inspired art war unnerving Putin in Russia … and the new post-capitalist ways of living being forged in Greeceand Spain.

Witness the growing tempo of green riots across China, the South African minerstrikes, the corruption protests of India, the freedom fight in Bahrain, the tremors of dissent in Saudi Arabia, the total loss of confidence in America’s corporate-funded Coke-Pepsielection show.

Then, add to that the crippling droughts, looming food scarcity, the end of easy oil and the tipping points hovering ominously on the horizon … Continue reading “Adbusters call for horizontal Revolution”

Abortion.. every Woman’s right to Choose.

Abortion: It’s every Womans Right to Choose By Patricia McCarthy.

Anarchists believe that every woman has the right to choose an abortion when faced with a crisis pregnancy irrespective of the reasons for the abortion.

Women worldwide have always sought to control their fertility through abortion no matter how difficult it is for them to get access to abortion and they probably always will.
