A New Syndicalism? |
by Flint
Previously published: Northeastern Anarchist #2, November 2001 |
01 Jun 2006
|
Anarcho-syndicalism has changed a lot from it's origin in workers'
movements of the late 19th century. It saw many of its practices
adopted by reformist institutions, and other practices rendered
illegal by the repressive hand of the state. Criticisms have grown
outside of workplace related issues, and failures have been revisited
time and again. I'd like to constructively address some of those
criticisms to develop a revolutionary strategy for tactical
intervention with the economic struggles of our class.
Organizing around economic means is not enough |

About the significance of anarchosyndicalism |
by Juan Gómez Casas
Previously published: iwa-ait.org |
12 Nov 2006
|
We finally enclose an article made by Juan Gómez Casas called “Attention: New definitions about the anarchosyndicalism” It was made in 1983 during CNTE`s 6th Congress, and tells about the content of anarchosyndicalism in an attack against reformism, and might be a contribution in the theoretical and practical magazine decided by the 22nd IWA-Congress. The article was reproduced by the paper "CNT" in June 2001 and is in Spanish, so we make a call to everyone to provide translators and contributors so the magazine can be made as soon as possible!”
It is now translated into English and we put it on the IWA-website. It can be a contribution to the debate previously to the 23rd IWA-Congress which will be in Manchester the 8-9-10th of December 2006! |

Animal Liberation: Devastate to Liberate, or Devastatingly Liberal? |
|
by Anonymous |
29 Aug 2005
|
|
"Today, in the striving for a more tolerable society, the individual is misled into giving themselves up for the glorification of an abstraction. Be that animal liberation, socialism, anti-sexism or whatever. People seem to have unconsciously assumed that their life's desires are unattainable so instead of fighting for themselves, they end up fighting for an ideal or a cause, which gives them the illusion of self-activity. So many individuals remain oblivious to the fact that their attempts to change society are permitted and even encouraged, as long as they alter or change nothing fundamental to the maintenance of class society, or worse, realise this, but cynically go along with it for the ride anyway." |

Dole Autonomy Versus the Re-Imposition of Work |
|
by Aufheben |
29 Aug 2005
|
|
"The global advance of 'neo-liberalism' has been given fresh impetus in Britain by the election of the New Labour government. Under Blair's leadership, the Labour Party has abandoned its traditional commitment to social democracy and has fully embraced the neo-liberal project originally pioneered by Margaret Thatcher. However, whereas Thatcher was obliged to attack the social consensus that had been built up on the basis of the post-war social democratic settlement, Blair is seeking to build a new 'one-nation' consensus around the on-going attacks on wages, working conditions and welfare entailed by the neo-liberal agenda." |

|
by IWA Secretariat |
01 May 2009
|
|
Workers of the world celebrate this year's First of May with a new peril looming over their heads—The Global Financial Crisis. Yet, every capitalist crisis is a crisis for the bosses and politicians and an opportunity for the workers! Interests of world's working masses are always sharply opposed to the interests of our rulers! We must always recognize this simple and profound fact and use it to promote our liberation. |

First of May 2010: Organize and fight against the capitalist exploitation! |
|
by IWA Secretariat |
02 May 2010
|
|
At the time of writing, the attacks on the working conditions, pay and jobs are gathering pace across the world. The capitalist crisis that started in 2008 was supposed to be over by now, but yet economic problems continue to escalate with workers having to defend jobs and conditions across the globe. Meanwhile the big capitalist investors and hedge funds continue to gamble with the future of whole nations in the pursuit of ever higher profits. |

Kill or Chill: Analysis of the Opposition to the Criminal Justice Bill |
|
by Aufheben |
29 Aug 2005

|
"No amount of rights can compensate for the absolute poverty of the proletarian condition. The world of rights is founded upon our alienation. Rights define, not freedom, but its limits. Real freedom can only come about through the dissolution of this world of rights, the restoration of our creative capacities unto ourselves in a world where the free development of each is the condition of the free development of all. Communism [sic] abolishes rights in favour of free determination, the production first and foremost of ourselves as social individuals with richly developed needs and desires. The lobby for rights on the other hand serves to maintain this stinking rotten world of work and duty, unfreedom and poverty." |
