An Introduction to the Organised Far Right in Aotearoa/NZ

Paparoa
After the terror attack in Christchurch many people have been seeking accurate information on the organised white supremacist movement in Aotearoa/New Zealand. A decade ago there was a network of activists who investigated the far right, providing intelligence and information to anti-racist organisers and the media. This network has faded away but some of us kept in contact with each other sporadically and continued to monitor far right groups. In recent days we have been overwhelmed with requests for information so we have decided to re-establish the network. This is a quick outline of the main far right leaders and organisations active in New Zealand in 2019.

#Zurich, #Switzerland: Feminist strike block / FLTIQ* leads #MayDay demo

Enough 14

Zurich, Switerland: At this year’s May Day demo, there will be a feminist strike block. We call all women, lesbians, trans, inter, genderqueers to march with us at the front of the demo!

originally published by Barrikade Info. Edited machine translation by Enough 14.

It is time that we women, trans-, inter-, nonbinary- and queer-people unite. Therefore we will form the feminist head of the women strike block at the May Day demo in Zurich.

On Labour Day we have many reasons to take to the streets. In Switzerland, only 10% of the care work done is paid. The remaining 90% of this work is not paid – and over two thirds of this unpaid work is done by women. In short, housework and caring work maintain the capitalist economic system. We are fighting against this here and everywhere!

The patriarchy has had its day. Institutional sexism and racism must stop. Just as sexist, homo- and transphobic violence. Against fascism – more feminism! We demand climate justice and a feminist fight against the causes of climate change.

We are many and we are loud!

We meet at 09:30am Helvetia Square (Zuerich, Switzerland) at the Women’s Strike/Feminist Strike – Banner and at the Women’s Strike/Feminist Strike – tractor/car

NEARLY TWO THOUSAND TAKE PART IN COUNTY WIDE DAY OF ACTION

Press release from Save Our Libraries Essex

Britain’s smallest town saw the largest demonstration in Essex on Saturday as thousands took to the streets across the county to protest plans to close up to sixty per cent of the libraries in Essex. Over 500 people took to the streets for Manningtree’s ‘Young people’s march for libraries’, in what is believed to be the biggest protest in the town’s history. The equivalent event in Colchester saw another 300 marching from the town’s library to Firstsite for a rally. A ‘community march for libraries’ in Castle Point had 150 people marching between Tarpots Library and South Benfleet Library. Hundreds more gathered outside libraries in Coggeshall, Walton-on-the-Naze, Holland-on-Sea, Shenfield, and Harlow. In Chelmsford High Street an information stall was set up by campaigners where hundreds completed the alternative survey set up by SOLE last week (please see press release sent 24/4/19).

Surviving Zimbabwe: An anarchist critique

by Leroy Maisiri (ZACF)>

This article, with the guidance of anarchism as a theory, provides a critical analysis of Zimbabwe and its current state, arguing against simple analysis and going beyond individual politics. The real, underlying problem is a society governed by a class system under the control of a predatory state that cannot survive a day without the the exploitation of its people

The Failure of the French Intelligentsia? Intellectuals and Uprisings in the Case of the Yellow Vests – GR in LARB

This article was written within the framework of the RED collective and benefitted from our collaborative research and writing process (a special thanks to Rahman Bouzari for his assistance with references). It was originally published here in the LA Review of Books‘ “Philosophical Salon,” whose editors we would also like to thank.

One of the largest grassroots social movements in recent history has overtaken France and extended beyond its borders. Like all mass movements, it is multiform and dynamic. Although there are numerous actors and agendas, one of the central focal points has been the dismal failure of the current social, political and economic order. As the oligarchic guard dogs of contemporary capitalism have intensified their assault on the masses, and traditional parties and unions have not been able to successfully organize against it, people have had no choice but to take it upon themselves to organize…

Names and Locations of the Top 100 People Killing the Planet

Names and Location of the Top 100 People Killing the Planet, 2019 – by Jordan Engel

“The earth is not dying, it is being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses.” – Utah Phillips

Just 100 companies are responsible for more than 70% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions since 1988. The guys who run those companies – and they are mostly guys – have gotten rich on the backs of literally all life on Earth. Their business model relies on the destruction of the only home humanity has ever known. Meanwhile, we misdirect our outrage at our neighbors, friends, and family for using plastic straws or not recycling. If there is anyone who deserves the outrage of all 7.5 billion of us, it’s these 100 people right here. Combined, they control the majority of the world’s mineral rights – the “right” to exploit the remaining…
