The Social Justice-AntiWar Movement throughout Europe and N. America could learn a lot from the real revolutionaries throughout S. America, who, after decades of foreign exploitation, have not only rejected 'Globalisation' and proven this is possible, but taken the power away from the same people corrupting the countries responsible for S. America's sad past.

If Nazis got into power they would abuse debate, then kill it
Why is the Oxford Union legitimizing,giving a platform& trying to make nazi apologisers champions of free speech?
If they dont want to extol Nazis views why did they invite 2 nazi apologisers to discuss free speech instead of Zapatistas,anarchists, activists from China or other popular activists with less access to mass media outlets?

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) were elected in a landslide win in the Australian Federal election on Saturday, November 24. The 'bastards' of the Liberal and National party coalition Government have been voted out. And the Prime Minister, John Howard, once called by a Liberal Party colleague 'the lying rodent', is likely to lose his own seat in the swing against the conservatives, only the second Prime Minister to do so in Australia's short political history since federation in 1901.

New Austrian Liberal Prime minister Kevin Rudd, who defeated PM Howard in the Australian General Election and vociferous opponent of former Prime Minister Howard’s controversial Labour Laws, has pledged to Sign the Kyoto treaty and Withdraw from Iraq. Accused of attempting to introduce a fascist police state in Austrian, Howard might even lose his own parliamentary seat after the full count is comleted.

The Price of Sugar is a powerful documentary about the plight of Haitians toiling on sugar plantations in the Dominican Republic. These workers cross the border from Haiti to labor in conditions that the film's central protagonist, Father Christopher Hartley, calls "quasi-slavery." They are housed in sugar company towns called bateyes. Stripped of identification papers, they cannot legally travel elsewhere in the country.

Hartley is a Spanish priest who came to the Dominican Republic in 1997 and wound up advocating for the cane cutters in his parish. The film gives him plenty of time to voice a thorough, articulate critique of the system which exploits the Haitians. Hartley names the superrich Vicini family as controlling the bateyes; the Vicinis have taken legal action against the film to prevent it from being screened.

Hundreds of thousands of health workers, civil servants, printers postal workers and air traffic controllers yesterday joined transport and energy strikes over pensions and pay. Thousands joined street protests in Paris, Rouen, Strasbourg, Marseille, Grenoble, Lyon and other cities

Color of Law?

Look, families are threatened with arrest for not agreeing
to cause neurological brain damage to their children. The cause
for why their children are not in school, is not the parents
fault, but the unlawful decision by the health authority to
not allow the children in school.

Since about one week huge strikes in France and Germany.
German railway workers didn´t work last week and said, if their demands will be not taken seriously they will go on striking until next year.
French railway workers are also on strike since one week, as well as French teachers will be this week. French students are also on strike and occupied and blockaded up to now 56 of ca. 80 universities. They fight against social cuts (so called "reforms") planned by the Sarkozy government.

Liberation theology warns the future of the first world is the third world. Everyday time is replaced by kairos time, the time of decision, when lawlessness masks as lawfulness. The language of proclamation runs crossway to the language of time. Cast your net on the other side! Perhaps the first global finance market crisis will help overcome market radicalism's control of public opinion and rehabilitate state intervention.

Is anarchy stupid ?

The URO government is up to its old tricks again. This morning some of the comrades from VOCAL called to tell us about a new wave of repression against the demonstration today, November 2, the anniversary of last year’s victory against the PFP. At this moment (6:00 p. m. central Mexico time) the situation is not clear.

One year on from the PFP'd defeat, the repression is back.

A Sussex policeman has been discharged from hospital after an attack by about 50 cows left him with four broken ribs and a punctured lung.

* With a lot of rhetoric and propaganda the Chavez administration has advanced different examples of co-management which, they claim, demonstrate their desire to transform Venezuela’s relations of production. A compañero from Europe visited us recently and got to know two of the most celebrated cases: Alcasa and Invepal. Here is the report he prepared for El Libertario # 51 about the actual working conditions in the country’s most “important” co-managed businesses.
