[anarkismo.net] Reportagem da Assembléia Geral do Ação Autônoma

Thursday, October 8th, 2009
Representando o projeto Anarkismo.net, este ano tive o privilégio de
participar da 8ª Conferência Anual do Ação Autônoma, um grupo anarquista
com coletivos espalhados por toda a Rússia, Bielorússia e Ucrânia
A conferência foi realizada em um lugar secreto nos Montes Urais, onde foi
montado um acampamento com o que laboriosamente foi transportado numa
caminhada de 6 horas morro acima. Essa precaução era necessária por causa
da polícia, e também porque forneceu alojamentos econômicos num país em
que a pobreza está bastante generalizada.

Obviously if your not christian, muslim or jewish you don’t care. BUt if you are, this should make you sick to your stomach.

To me politicizing religion in any way is kind of sick or applying religion to politics is. But this is beyond that.

Onderzoek revleft.com

Geachte forum gebruikers,
Wij zijn een viertal studenten aan de Noordelijke hogeschool Leeuwarden. Voor ons afstudeeronderzoek van de opleiding Integrale veiligheidskunde worden we verzocht contact te zoeken met forum gebruikers van omstreden websites zoals in dit geval revleft.com. Omstreden websites? Ja, in de media wordt deze website veelal als fout bestempeld. Wij zijn echter benieuwd of dit een terechte stempel is(??)Om hierachter te komen hebben we jullie hulp nodig!
Hoe gaan we te werk?
Allereerst willen we jullie mededelen dat uiteraard de medewerking van dit onderzoek geheel op vrijwillige basis zal zijn. Daarnaast zorgen we ervoor dat bij een eventuele toetreding tot het onderzoek uw persoonsgegevens gewaarborgd zal blijven.
Wat verwachten we van jullie?
Dit is geheel aan jullie. Wij staan open voor elke vorm van communicatie. Zelf zitten we te denken aan een interview over bijvoorbeeld MSN. Maar dit kan natuurlijk ook gewoon over de mail of via de PM service van dit forum. We zullen jullie een aantal vragen stellen waarbij het de bedoeling is dat jullie zelf zoveel mogelijk aan het woord zijn. Door jullie zoveel mogelijk aan het woord te laten proberen we te voorkomen dat we jullie in een bepaalde ongewenste hoek duwen. Het is dus geheel aan de deelnemer van het onderzoek welk beeld er wordt geschetst.
Wat voor vragen?
Nou.. Bijvoorbeeld deze:
Wat zijn uw beweegredenen om uw mening te geven op het internet?
Spreekt u ook af met personen van het forum?
Deelt u uw mening ook in de offline wereld over gevoelige onderwerpen?
Bent u lid van meerdere forums?

Hoe kunnen jullie ons bereiken?
Dit kan natuurlijk door een reply achter te laten op dit forum of door een PM achter te laten.
Mail?
Uiteraard! Jullie kunnen ons bereiken op studentonderzoekers@gmail.com
Msn?
Jep, ook via studentonderzoekers@gmail.com
Skype?
Ook willen we graag jullie horen praten! Voeg ons toe –> Studentonderzoekers
We hopen van jullie te horen!

Quote:

The 15-judge Constitutional Court ruled on Wednesday that immunity legislation pushed through by Mr Berlusconi’s administration in 2008 violated the principle that all citizens were equal in the eyes of the law. Mr Berlusconi said he felt "invigorated" by the ruling, adding that he had expected it as the court was dominated by left-wing judges.


Quote:

Earlier, he had insisted that the charges against him were farcical and that his administration would "govern for five years with or without the law"

[anarkismo.net] Anarchisme, insurrections et insurrectionnisme

Thursday, October 8th, 2009
Red and Black Revolution n° 11, octobre 2006
L’insurrection - le soulèvement armé du peuple - a toujours été proche du coeur de l’anarchisme. Les premiers documents programmatiques du mouvement anarchiste ont été rédigés par Bakounine et un groupe d’insurrectionnistes républicains de gauche européens lorsqu’ils se rapprochèrent de l’anarchisme en Italie dans les années 1860. Cette démarche ne marqua pas une rupture avec l’insurrectionnisme mais avec le républicanisme de gauche, peu après que Bakounine eut participé à une insurrection à Lyon, en 1870.

I think I’m a confused Marxist(Am I marxist?) Critiques and advice very welcome.

Thursday, October 8th, 2009
I tend to stay away from labels because I believe that ideas and people for that matter are ever changing, but I am also aware of the value of identifying your values to further critique them and further yourself personally.

I feel like I have been a Communist/Marxist for a bit now, but have been coming to the conclusion that maybe the State is not such a healthy thing. I was always drawn more to Marxism and less to say almost any for of anarchism because I thought it was a little too much of a lofty goal of a direct transition from capitalism to anarchism.

I feel also very lost in the debate between revolutionary politics.(interchangeable with insurrectionary yes?) Maybe it’s rather a question of tactics and less about what an entire movement should be about. But if your movement is not entirely insurrectionary you are legitamizing capitalism by taking part in it’s process?

I attended the G20 summit "resistg20" march and almost completely fell in love with the way the anarchists operated. It was like direct democracy in the streets, no leaders just a consensus by which way everyone decided to go, voting with your feet as it were. I also feel though without strong organization that, that is exactly where these sort of anti-capitalist tendacies will stay, in the streets led by 20 somethings. Not sustainable in the greater political debate as a whole.

I feel very lost and confused. I do not have very many fellow "politically" minded people in Buffalo (I’m sure many can relate) so I would apreciate any and all input.

Thanks in advance.
