A-INFOS-ORG
The A-Infos news
lists are democratically self-managed by an international
organizational collective. Here's how to participate.
We especially encourage women, non-english speaking people, and those
living outside of Europe and America. Here is a list of our policies.
A-INFOS VISION
The A-Infos Project is coordinated by an international
collective of revolutionary anti-authoritarian,
anti-capitalist activists, involved with class
struggle and who regard it as a total social struggle.
These are people who conceive themselves as
revolutionary class struggle social anarchists,
anarcho-communists, libertarian communists, syndicalists
and others who hold similar opinions but use other labels.
A-Infos is organized by people who feel anarchism is a
social theory, and that a revolution is necessary to
bring about the new class-less social order, and that
this revolution can only be made by the vast majority
of the working people.
The specific kind of anarchism we talk about and
promote is the anarchism of the Haymarket martyrs and
those expelled by Karl Marx from the First
International for criticizing his authoritarianism and
the elitist, vanguardist degradation of the masses of
The specific kind of anarchism we talk about and
the working class...
We do not support the kind of anarchism proposed by some
pseudo-modernists and pseudo-"revolutionaries" who
regard symbolic activity as substitute to mass
struggle, or the kind of anarchism of "humanists" who hold
other tasks as equal or more important than the
revolutionary struggle for abolishing the capitalist
system.
A-Infos work is not inspired by egoistic and
egocentric individualism, primitivism, "free
capitalism without a state" or even a state without
free capitalism - who oppose the present capitalist
order but do not offer instead a viable model of modern
social order of freedom, equality, and solidarity.
It is not enough for individuals and groups to use an
anarchist label for their texts to be distributed by
A-Infos.
In the struggle for a free society, we distribute news
and articles in several languages, covering a wide
range of areas of struggle. These include workplace
and environmental struggles as well as the fight
against racism, sexism and homophobia. A-Infos also
distributes news on indigenous peoples
anti-colonialist fight against settlers, occupation
and marginalization, as well as anti-nationalist and
anti-regional separatist struggles, because workers
have no country but the world as a whole....
A-Infos is specialized press agency, in the service
(as we see it best) of the movement of revolutionary
anti-capitalist activists who are involved in the
various social struggles against the capitalist class
and its social system.
A-Infos is not an open "liberal" service that
distributes anything "we" are sympathetic to -- it is
not Indymedia. It is first of all a free distribution
tool for information from and about collectives of
anarchist (and other anti authoritarian
revolutionaries) involved in the struggle.
A-Infos workers do not think we are the ones who
should decide who, on the social anarchist camp, is a
"real" anarchist or not. However, as resources are
limited, we have the right and duty to (autonomously)
choose what we distribute what we feel is best among
the contributions and contributors. The freedom of
association the A-Infos collective is based on means
nothing without the freedom not to associate, if
workers so choose.
A-Infos has a role to play in the world anarchist
movement. Information is strength. A-Infos helps to
build a sense of an international movement. A-Infos
is, to a certain extent, one of the few international
organizational tools of the movement. But to keep this
role it must stay a tool in the service of the
movement and not a free-for-all information service.
A-Infos is not just an internal movement tool. Like
the Anarchist FAQ, it's also a means to present the
movement to the wider audience and to a new
generation, and acquaint them with international
aspects of the movement.
A-Infos is an autonomous anarchist press agency that
is not the bullhorn of any "social" movement. Even
when self-proclaimed anarchists (or even if real ones)
are involved is not a guarantee A-Infos will
distribute contributions. Even if we ourselves
sympathize with given movements is no guarantee
articles will be posted.
Thus, A-Infos distributes the news and analysis its
workers want to share with the world non-authoritarian
activists community -- mainly posts from
anti-authoritarian revolutionary collectives and
reports about direct action of social struggle
both of activists and of common people in their daily life.
Anyone who is not satisfied with the services we
provide, is welcome to use other services or build
her/his own.
A-infos is both an organizational tool, a propaganda tool, and an
information tool of the movement -- and is not merely "news
by, about and of interest to anarchists."

want to invite our readers to look at the notes below and to post comments on what they
think is the way to defeat the attempts by the union leaders and government to impose
these cuts in one way or the other. The meeting was divided into discussion tables with
the people attending moving between the discussions at these tables and a WSM member
taking notes of the discussion, these are the notes below. ---- Notes from 'How do public
service cuts effect you' table ---- Some people were public service workers, they said
they are seeing increased workload and demoralisation as well as the more obvious cuts to
pay that have happened and the loss of sick pay.

velocemente per prenderne ancora di più [en]
Report del 21.05.13:
Sono passati già 65 anni dalla Nakba ed io ancora ricordo Deir Yassin
ed altri pezzi di memorie di nove anni prima. Mi ci sono voluti troppi
anni per rimettere insieme questi pezzi e liberarmi del lavaggio di
cervello sionista di stampo nazionalsocialista (marxista). Negli
ultimi 47 anni ho imparato la libertà dal libro di Erich Fromm, "Fuga
dalla Libertà" ed ho cercato di tenere aperto questo sentiero anche
per altri. La partecipazione alla lotta unitaria insieme ai comitati

Es ya un lugar común, lo que no significa que sea menos cierto, decir
que la historia la escriben los vencedores. En el caso de la
Revolución rusa, si durante mucho tiempo se nos contó de manera
simplista que un grupo de revolucionarios, comandados por Lenin, tomó
el Palacio de Invierno para dar lugar al primer gran régimen
socialista. Ahora, con otro tipo de historiografía oficial dominante,
difícilmente se va a dar protagonismo en la historia a las masas y la
defensa de sus organizaciones autónomas frente al poder. Mencionamos
tres libros impagables que nos introducen en la Revolución rusa, desde
el punto de vista de la autonomía del pueblo, no de ninguna élite, y

Please check the link below this article and share with others! ---- In the days leading
up to the Chicago NATO summit in May 2012, five anti-NATO activists were prememptively
arrested after undercover informants infiltrated the Occupy movement. Co-defendants Brent
Betterly, Jared Chase, and Brian Church were charged with 11 felonies, some of which were
brought under the Illinois state terrorism statute. Their attorneys challenged the
terrorism statute as unconstitutional on its face and as applied to this case, but the
judge denied their motion to dismiss the terrorism charges on March 27, 2013. The NATO 3
trial is currently scheduled for mid-September 2013. In two separate cases, Sebastian
Senakiewicz was charged with falsely making a terrorist threat and took a non-cooperating
plea deal in November 2012.

Tokio. El parque donde vivimos fue construido encima de un rÃo cegado,
y se extiende a lo largo de una autopista elevada. Allà hemos
construido unas cabaÃas y es donde vivimos. En 2012, sufrimos dos

el acceso a los baÃos durante cuatro meses con la excusa de trabajos
de renovaciÃn, y actualmente, los baÃos estÃn cerrados por la noche.
