The connections between the Chicago anarchists and the Metis rebellion may seem like historical footnotes. Indeed, they have been largely overlooked. However, they should be viewed as integral parts of anarchist praxis at the time and reveal more deep understandings of the importance of Indigenous land defense within active working-class anarchist circles than is sometimes assumed.
Todas estas tendencias, desde el mutualismo al anarquismo sin adjetivos, han luchado precisamente contra el capitalismo, por ser este el principal enemigo de los derechos de las clases trabajadoras, su explotador: el enemigo a vencer.
Mujeres Libres had little time to turn its vision into reality, so we cannot know how much they might have accomplished. Nor, so far as I can tell, did they have a clear formula for how to make it all work. But their own organization was a federation of autonomous local groups; and the relationship they wanted (but could not have) with the larger anarchist movement was also that of an autonomous set of units operating within the larger, federated, whole. Perhaps that model (and a sense of anarchist commitments to direct action and spontaneous organization) can provide us with some clues.
Critique libertaire du discours actuel tant de gauche que de droite à propos de l’immigration algérienne en France, de l’anti-impérialisme et du colonialisme.
« […] il s’est toujours trouvé des éléments, même isolés, qui, de part et d’autre de la Méditerranée – et bien au-delà –, ont refusé avec lucidité l’intégrisme, le nationalisme et le sexisme, pour faire vivre, au sens plein du terme, l’internationalisme, le pluralisme et la solidarité. Il nous revient donc de puiser dans ce que notre histoire a de meilleur pour imaginer avec optimisme des futurs désirables. »
Anarchists rarely adhere to a statist conception. From the inception of political Zionism, this national question arises among libertarians and provokes fierce debates. These controversies flare up with the course of events. At the birth of the State of Israel, anarchists took an official stance. They rejected the war in the Middle East and, apparently, the creation of a new state. However, the experience of the kibbutzim, which echoes the images of the agricultural collectives of revolutionary Spain, arouses strong sympathy.
Anarchism reminds us that “left-wing nationalism” does not exist, a clear oxymoron, as Latin American populism is nothing more than an attempt to build or reinforce, at most, a state capitalism with a new national bourgeoisie projecting itself as “progressive,” “patriotic,” and “anti-imperialist” against the old oligarchy. Yet, in reality, due to its class interest, it soon abandons the popular agenda in favor of new alliances with global capital and imperialism.
Les mouvements féministes, ou les luttes que l’on peut définir sous ce terme générique, partout dans le monde, se manifestent avec une vigueur inégalée, en Amérique latine, aux États-Unis, en Europe, en Afrique… Qu’en est-il en Algérie ?
Workers Solidarity Alliance was founded in 1984, it is therefore US’ oldest continuous anarchist national organization. WSA enjoys Friends Status with the International Workers Association, IWA/AIT, which was founded in 1922, and is the world’s oldest continuous anarchist international.
« Some of us were also members of IWW, and without doubt we loved IWW, but also craved a worker’s organization that saw the social revolution as the alternative to the State. »
« Il est certain qu’à partir du moment où les Juifs auront leur propre État, ils deviendront aussi réactionnaires et centralistes que toutes les autres nations.»
-Emma Goldman
Since 2020, there’s been more than 900 people jailed for various acts of dissent. The peak was reached during the demonstrations of July 11th 2021 when the Cuban State shut the door to any possible dialogue between the common people and the rulers. Many intellectuals found this to be a turning point. Mechanisms of social pressure must be used to generate transformations”.
