16th Anniversary of the CSO Kan Kolmo

Against all odds…

We are celebrating the anniversary of the CSO KAN KOLMO again!!

We have been resisting for 16 years, and although the threat continues, we want to celebrate that, for another year, we continue to corrode the suffocating normality of Girona.

That is why, this year we have prepared a very special anniversary, with lots of love and activities for all tastes:
A bioconstruction workshop where we will build a hazelnut dome/lunch- cigalonada/ a talk to debate and analyze the housing situation -both necessary and poignant at this time and in this space- concerts, dinner… and of course, don’t miss it… The famous Kan Kolmo cabaret

We are expecting you on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 February.
We know we always say this, but… what if this were the last one?
Let’s enjoy it until the end
Kan Kolmo resists

Remember to leave your canine companion at home!

** Any profit will go to the resistance fund

On December 12 the Courts once again FAILED to make us abandon what is an autonomous, common, assembly-run, committed and above all free space, for all the people who understand that this is not the best of societies.

A society based on inequalities and fear is not healthy, and that’s why we are occupying, to demonstrate that living differently is not a utopia. We organize ourselves in an assembly-like manner, promoting horizontality and the breaking of hierarchies.

We build safer, transfeminist and anti-fascist spaces, confronting the patriarchal, racist and speciesist model.

Interview with an anti-militarist from Odessa

The following interview was carried out by comrades from the Československé anarchistické sdružení – CAS a Czech Internationalist Anarchist Group.

1)Please introduce yourself briefly to the readers of our magazine. Are you from Ukraine, where you were born and spent your youth?

I was born in Odesa, the largest southern multicultural city in Ukraine, a few months before the collapse of the USSR.

My mother is Ukrainian and my father is Russian.

Their fathers were military. My father worked in a factory. With the collapse of the USSR, the factory was closed, and my father lost his job. It affected my family and my childhood.

Hi. My name is Vadym Yakovlev, I’m Ukrainian queer writer and journalist and I’m against the war and nationalism.

I grew up in Odesa, but one year before I escaped Ukraine I was living in Lviv, the biggest city of the Western part of Ukraine.

At home my relatives spoke Russian and Ukrainian, so I never focused on issues such as national identity. My family was an unhappy international family that lost a lot with the collapse of state communism in Ukraine.

I guess all of that influenced me a lot in my search of my true political views and my desire to do something that can have influence on society.

2)You left Ukraine, what led you to this decision?

On the one hand, I could no longer work in Ukraine because of my political beliefs.

The Ukrainian intelligentsia, journalists and artists as a community with the beginning of the war decided to become privileged elite propagandists in the service of the state.

I didn’t want to be a propagandist, so I lost the opportunity to publish my articles. And if you publicly express in Ukraine the views I have, authorities can put you in the jail.

As ever, since the day we arrived here, it’s been up to us.

The racialized peoples of this hellish archipelago… to defend ourselves.

Let’s take a partial look at our collective histories of struggle…

In 1919, in Cardiff, Liverpool and East London racists targeted Chinese, Somali, West Indian (Caribbean), Malaysian, Egyptian and other racialized residents, many of whom were British colonial troops stationed or demobilized in Britain, the racists also targeted their partners and spouses who were often white women. In response, at various intervals in Cardiff groups of whites that had formed lynch mobs found themselves in shootouts with the racialized people they tried to target.

Red Summer of 1919: How Black WWI Vets Fought Back Against Racist Mobs …

In 1948, in Liverpool the National Union of Seamen strived to keep Black people out of work, boasting that “we have been successful in changing ships from coloured to white, and in many instances in persuading masters and engineers that white men should be carried in preference to coloured.” During an extended period of attack, Black sailors armed themselves to stave off attempted massacres by mobs of whites either in uniform or in plain clothes intent on destroying them, the lodgings they stayed in and the clubs they frequented.

Rojava resists! 200,000 Saved! International anarchist and leftist groups declare their support for SDF

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have received significant support from international groups, as they face a renewed offensive by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and Turkish-backed forces.

International anarchist and leftist groups declare their support for SDF

This conflict, characterised by widespread displacement and suffering, has increased instability in the region and drawn international condemnation.

The Syrian conflict has escalated as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), alongside Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) forces, launched a major offensive in northern Syria, seizing parts of Aleppo and deepening the humanitarian crisis.

More than 200,000 people have been displaced, with many taking refuge in improvised shelters along the Euphrates River.

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have mobilised reinforcements to protect key areas, particularly Kurdish neighbourhoods in Aleppo and refugee camps in the Shahba region.

The offensive, coordinated between HTS and SNA forces, comes amid wider regional instability.

The International League of Peoples’ Struggle and the anarchist group Tekoşina Anarşist (Anarchist Struggle) have expressed strong support for the SDF.

[Greece] Explosive Attack on Police Interrogation Van by Anarchists

The mire of defeatism and misery sucks us in deeper and deeper as we remain passive in the face of repression, terrorism and death sown by States.

From Act for freedom now via thefreeonline –https://wp.me/pIJl9-EsZ at anarchistnews 19th Oct 24

The dystopian present is methodically growing, two more people are added to the long list of dead in the police hellholes.

37-year-old Mohammed Kamran Asik, having been transferred to 5 different police stations while he was missing, was eventually found dead at Agios Panteleimonas AT (cop station), in a room without cameras, with strong signs of torture.

Mia Harizul, 29, was found hanged at AT Omonia (cop station) in a detention facility without cameras with 11 other detainees present.

It is clear that these are murders, with their expected cover-ups by regime snitches at the same time as the government under the auspices of law and order, but also in order to safeguard its vomitic international relations with genocidal States, is forcing its dogs to suppress any kind of resistance.

This tactic is proven in practice, when on 7/10 the pro-Palestine march heading to the Israeli embassy is brutally attacked by cops, people are arrested and charged with felonies.

Murders of immigrants, files on activists, threats, beatings of students inside their university, arrests, indictments, torture… These are some of the things we have seen lately.

In the early morning of Friday 11/10, an explosive device was placed in a police interrogation van, with the explosion mainly causing damage to the front of the vehicle.

Unfortunately, the response of the fire brigade was immediate and it did not have time to burn to the ground.

It is important here to mention the bullying of local uniformed lackeys towards young (when it takes them that is…) under the pretext of standard control. Such situations also command the responsibility that each one has to counterattack.

It is a necessity to live with our heads held high, for the fear to change sides To assert our denial, stubbornly… for everything to come to a head.
