The newest issue of Direkt Aktion, paper of the swedish Syndicalist Youth
Federation since 1995, has now arrived from the presses. There has been
some economic trouble but thanks to a large increase in subscriptions after
campaigning no. 33-34 is now out.

On the cover page we see happy members of SUF, hell-bent on celebrating
the 10 year anniversary of our organization next year, on the very same
spot it was formed, the collective house Blenda in Uppsala.

The editorial is a scathing critique of humanism. The view is put
forward that humanism seeks to hide deep conflicts in the capitalist
society, to make it look like there exists a common "human" interest.
Our goal as socialists is the working class, not the "human".

Next up is an interview about feelings and politics with the Ark, a very
popular swedish pop band influenced by Queen and 70's glam rock which has
taken a very clear public stand against homophobia and for a sexuality
without borders.

A report on alternatives and resistance in Argentine is also included,
with analysis of the "politics without politicians" of the
neighourhood assemblies, piquetero organizing and workers control the
Argentinian way.

"Get the kids together in your commune" is a short guide of how to
set up your own local reclaim-party from people who took part in
organizing one in a park Stockholm which "accidentally" coincided
with the spectacle of the visit of the Swedish king there.

"A German Antifascist Tells Us" is an interview with a veteran
about the struggle against the nazis before Hitlers rise to power,
in the workplace and in the street. He also points out the
similarities in tactics and retorics between Bush and Hitler.

The article-series "This Is How It Works" continues to discuss
the heavy stuff. This time we talk about surplus value, the rise
of the bourgeoisie and the working class and what capitalism
is today.

On the debate-pages the discussion rages on about environmental
activism, technology-friendliness and reactionaries.

In the city of Vallentuna youth are conducting an interesting
experiment in local democracy. The started "demoex", a group which
after the election is represented by one mandate in the city. The
"party" allows its members decide directly how to vote in all
questions through the Internet.

Shora Eshmailian writes about the consequences of the the Sharia-laws
that were introduced in Iran after the revolution in 1979 and
gives us examples of the different forms of oppression the women
of Iran face because of the religious laws. The article is
complemented by an interview with a member of the Support
Committee for the Women of Iran about the forming women's groups,
resistance and struggle against discrimination in the work market.

In "Occupation seen from inside" the two SUF:ers Niklas and
Kristin, who both were in Palestine this summer, tells us about
how this came about and why they went there. Both went there through
ISM, International Solidarity Movement, which SUF initiated in Sweden
and remains heavily involved with.

The next subject for interview is Hannele Peltonen, who for the last 4
years has been the secretary of the SAC, but now resigns as
the mailman Lars Hammarberg is taking up the post instead. She
discusses the advantage of joining SAC instead of the
Social Democrat LO confederation, the growth of international
syndicalism in Siberia and Brazil as well as the important role
SUF has played in the revitalization of SAC.

The paper also contains reviews, short commentaries, chronicles
and news of the class struggle from around the world.
