Explicación del Anarquismo Municipal: La Alternativa Práctica de Rojava

 La municipalización de la Economía

por Janet Biehl.. traducción ..The Freerojava-revolutionA medida que la revolución Rojava continúa, la naturaleza de su economía ha sido muy discutido. Como he escrito anteriormente, Rojava aspira a una economía social basada en las cooperativas. En las últimas semanas, varias personas me han preguntado por las ideas de Murray Bookchin sobre la economía: ¿cuáles son los aspectos económicos del municipalismo libertario? He creado un resumen de su pensamiento aquí, sobre la base de los recursos enumerados al final de este artículo. -Janet Biehl

Anarquía en Rojava: Una revolución libertaria en el Medio Oriente desde subMedia.tv en Vimeo.

En una economía capitalista, los medios de producción, la industria y al igual que la tierra, las materias primas y acabadas, la riqueza financiera se concentran en manos privadas. La alternativa es una economía social, en el que la propiedad de dichos bienes, en todo o en parte, se desplaza a la sociedad en su conjunto…..

Capitalist Arms Market. The Spreading Tentacles of Hell

Why the HELL are the US Saudi clients bombing Yemen? 2014-01-31-libya-590Why are the US ‘expediting arms deliveries’ to blast one side in a civil conflict?

We don’t have to look too far on Internet to find sites accusing the US and its client states of arming Islamic State and Al Qaeda,  of selling arms to all sides, of promoting horrific chaos and spreading civil and intervention wars in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza, Ukraine, Libya, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, etc

Now for example we see The Nusra Front (Al Quaeda), Syrian State forces, Iranian militias, and Kurdish anarchists, Jordan, Israel and The US Air Force , etc all fighting Islamic State which is financed by Saudi US clients.. and all using American arms. What an Arms Market!

The US economy is dependent on its gigantic armaments industry, and like other big nuclear powers is immune to International Law due to its UN veto ‘rights’. Continue reading “Capitalist Arms Market. The Spreading Tentacles of Hell”

Municipal Anarchy Explained.. the Practical Rojava Alternative

Municipalization of the Economy

As the Rojava revolution continues, the nature of its economy has been much discussed. As I have written previously, Rojava aspires to a social economy based on cooperatives. In recent weeks, several people have asked me for Murray Bookchin’s ideas about the economy: what are the economic aspects of libertarian municipalism? I’ve put together a summary of his thinking here, based on the sources listed at the end of this article. –Janet Biehl

¿ Barcelona Council to be taken by Feminists ?

Is Barcelona on the verge of a feminist revolution?

by Kate Shea Baird on April 7, 2015  first printed in ROAR

Ada Colau and the other women involved in the citizen platform Barcelona en Comú are showing how municipal politics can be feminized from the bottom up.

ada colauSomething special is happening in Barcelona. At the local elections in May, the citizen platform Barcelona en Comú (Barcelona in Common) could snatch control of the city council. If it succeeds, the consequences for the women of Barcelona and, perhaps, cities all over the world, could be radical.A victory for Barcelona en Comú would catapult anti-eviction activist Ada Colau into the mayoralty.

Our kids are in CRISIS.

I work with teenagers in an affluent suburban area.

They don’t comprehend what they read. They use calculators to multiply 10 x 10. The average high school junior has no clue what the word “diligent” means.

They write essays resembling those of a 5th grader. About how Albert Einstein discovered electricity.

In tests administered in reading, science and math to 15 year-olds globally, we are behind TWENTY NINE countries in math. And our kids’ performance in reading and science is  not much better. And yet, American investment in education is unrivaled, globally.

Are you scared yet?

We lead the world in the consumption of illegal recreational drugs. And one of the chief sales outlets?

Our SCHOOLS.

Our teenage suicide rate is the highest in the world.

EVERY DAY there are over 5,400 suicide attempts by kids in grades 7 – 12.

NOW are you scared?

The two places teenagers…
