This is the first chapter of Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States: 1492-Present. Of everything that Howard Zinn ever wrote, this first chapter of his masterpiece on US and American history was considered the most controversial and the most widely discussed.
As the movement to take down Columbus statues and to change Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day spreads, we wanted to post powerful chapter by Howard Zinn on Love and Rage. Zinn has long been a great inspiration to those of us at Love and Rage. Now, more than ever, especially while Zinn’s ideas are directly under attack by the Trump administration, please take the time to read this, find the time to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and make the time to join the Native Lives Matter and Black Lives Matter movements. And if you’re interested in buying the book, please do so from the worker-self managed anarchist publishing company AK Press.

La eurodiputada catalana Clara Ponsatí ha pedido al alto representante de la UE para la política exterior, Josep Borrell, que impida que España venda armas a Turquía y ha recordado que el Estado es el principal proveedor europeo de armas al régimen de Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “Esto debe ser detenido por la Comisión, señor Borrell”, dijo al ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de la UE, que estuvo presente en la sesión plenaria del Parlamento Europeo este miércoles.

Ponsatí hizo el llamado en un discurso centrado en el conflicto entre Azerbaiyán y Armenia, centrado en Artsaj, también conocido como el territorio de Nagorno-Karabaj. Las armas que los miembros de la UE venden a Turquía, dijo, terminan siendo utilizadas en este conflicto, que describió como una “agresión militar contra el pueblo armenio” que “amenaza la estabilidad de toda la región del Cáucaso”.
En este contexto, Ponsati pidió a la Comisión Europea que “aumente la presión sobre Turquía y Azerbaiyán” para detener la ofensiva contra la República de Artsaj. “El conflicto puede y se resolverá mediante negociaciones constructivas entre las partes”.
Catalan MEP Clara Ponsatí has called on the EU’s high representative for foreign policy, Josep Borrell, to stop Spain from selling arms to Turkey and recalled that the state is the main European arms provider to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s regime. “This must be stopped by the Commission, Mr Borrell,” she said to the EU foreign minister, who was present at the European Parliament’s plenary session this Wednesday.
Ponsatí made the call in a speech focusing on the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia – centred on Artsakh, also known as the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Weapons that EU members sell to Turkey, she said, are ending up being used in this conflict, which she described as “military aggression against the Armenian people” that “threatens the stability of the whole Caucasus region.”
In this context, Ponsati called on the European Commission to “increase the pressure on Turkey and Azerbaijan” to stop the offensive against the Artsakh Republic. “The conflict can be and will be resolved through constructive negotiation between the parties.”

El 12 de octubre del 2018 en #Barcelona#España se realizó el juicio a Colón, lo acusamos por acciones irreparables en Abya Yala y la humanidad.
Hasta el día de hoy sigue existiendo el monumento a Colón en el centro de Barcelona y cada 12 de octubre en España se festeja el genocidio de América como fiesta patria.
Residentes de América latina en Barcelona resistimos al colonialismo que seguimos viviendo hasta hoy e invitamos a todos a cuestionarnos la historia y su repercusión.

Anarchist Marina Dubin in a prominent figure within the ′′ Ecohome ′′ organisation has now been detained in Minsk.
Like many anarchists within the city of Minsk, she had been repeatedly stopped and detained and repressed for her political beliefs: in 2017 she was sentenced to 14 days for participation in the ′′ March of unparasites “ and in June 2018 she was attacked by SOBR and GUBOPIK in the forest near Krupki.
Her house has been searched repeatedly and she has seen further repression of the printing co-operation of′′ Listovka “.
On October 2, two members of the same printing co-operative, Yevgeny Dyatkowski and Konstantin Niestierowicz (below) were also detained as part of a government policy targeting anarchists throughout the country.
Let us remind you that ′′ ′′ is an anarchist cooperative that has printed many publications, bulletins and zines as well as strike leaflets for employees of state companies who find it impossible to produce anything in relation to workers struggle or workers rights.
KOLEJNE ZATRZYMANIA ANARCHISTÓW MIŃSKU!

Za swoje przekonania polityczne była już wielokrotnie represjonowana: w 2017 roku została skazana na 14 dni za udział w „Marszu niepasożytów”, w czerwcu 2018 roku została zaatakowana przez SOBR i GUBOPik w lesie pod Krupkami. Jej dom był wielokrotnie przeszukiwany…….
