A decade ago the active anarchist movement in Ireland consisted of
little more than a dozen people in two small organizations. Today
hundreds of people are active and one banned libertarian demonstration in 2004 saw 5,000 people take part. Anarchists are increasingly replacing Irish republicans as the bogeyman of the mainstream media.
This talk explains how this breakthrough happened and details the various struggles anarchists have been involved in.
About the speaker:
Andrew is an active anarchist organizer and writer, with twenty years experience in Ireland, most of that time as a member of the Workers Solidarity Movement. More recently, he has been become a member of NEFAC and is a founder member of Common Cause, Ontario. His publishing record includes well over one hundred articles, translated into over nine languages, chapters published in three books, and articles in seven English language anti-authoritarian magazines and newspapers. As well as numerous events in Ireland he has been the speaker at meetings in Britain, Italy, Canada, the Czech Republic and the USA and attended conferences in the Netherlands, France, Spain and Mexico.
A partial archive of Andrew's writings, radio interviews and
translations can be found at

SOUTH FLORIDA - SUNDAY NIGHT SOCIALISM

At the last meeting of the Socialist Organizing Committee, it was decided to adopt a twice monthly meeting on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month. The first meeting of the month is to be a "business" meeting, where we will discuss organizing and political activity, as well as select the content of the second meeting.

The second meeting will consist of a brief presentation by anyone on *ANY* topic they choose: opera, LINUX, the Hungarian Uprising of 1956,the Burgess Shale, anything. This portion will be followed by a brief Q&A. The main part of the meeting will revolve around a reading, which comrades will be expected to have read and be ready to discuss. Take notes, have questions.

The meetings start at 6:30pm and will go as long as comrades want to continue. For this meeting, we will be at the Denny's in Hollywood, *immediately* west of I-95 on the Sheridan St. exit. 2800 N. 28th Terrace. If you go over the bridge over the railroad tracks, you've gone too far.

This coming Sunday, Jim Sanders will present on the pamphlet, "The Two Souls of Socialism," by Hal Draper. Draper was an important writer on the democratic, revolutionary socialist left. I highly recommend just about everything he wrote.

The Sunday Night Socialism study group's first book will be, "The Principles of Communism," by Friedrich Engels. This is an extremely short FAQ of the beliefs of Marx and Engels written in 1847. It was dropped in favor of writing "The Communist Manifesto." This is an excellent, and unusually easy to understand explanation of the scientific socialist view point, and explains many terms which will be present in later study.

http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx...1/prin-com.htm

Please feel free to invite anyone you think might be interested. It's open to any socialist, communist, or anarchist or anyone interested in socialism, communism, or anarchism. If you are in organization, please feel free to bring and distribute your organization's literature.

This event is sponsored by the Socialist Party of Florida/Socialist Party USA, Solidarity, and the Kasama Project. Other sponsors and endorsers are welcome.

PLEASE RSVP!

[FONT=comic sans MS]On October 11, 2002 Congress approved the "Iraq War Resolution" granting the Bush administration authorization to invade Iraq. Six years later, 1 in 3 Iraqis have been killed, wounded, or displaced. Over 4000 U.S. soldiers have been killed with tens of thousands more seriously wounded. How many more billions will be looted from vital social needs such as jobs, education, healthcare, disaster relief or libraries, firehouses, childcare, or Social Security?

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=arial]Mass Actions on the 6th Anniversary of the Iraq War -- March 21, 2009
Bring All the Troops Home Now -- End All Colonial Occupations!
Fund People's Needs, Not Militarism & Bank Bailouts![/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=arial]Marking the sixth anniversary of the criminal invasion of Iraq, thousands will take to the streets of Washington D.C. and other cities across the U.S. and around the world in March 2009 to say, “Bring the Troops Home NOW!” We will also demand “End Colonial Occupation in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Everywhere,” and “Fund Peoples’ Needs Not Militarism and Bank Bailouts.” We also insist on an end to the war threats and economic sanctions against Iran.
[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=arial]The ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) is organizing for unified mass marches and rallies in Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami and other cities on Saturday, March 21, 2009. Months ago we obtained permits for sixth anniversary demonstrations. ANSWER has been actively involved with other coalitions, organizations, and networks to organize unified anti-war demonstrations in the spring of 2009. ANSWER participated in the National Assembly to End the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars and Occupations that was held in Cleveland, Ohio on June 28th-29th and attended by 450 people, including many national and local anti-war coalitions.[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=arial] The National Assembly gathering agreed to promote national, unified anti-war demonstrations in the Spring of 2009.

The war in Iraq has killed, wounded or displaced nearly a third of Iraq’s 26 million people. Thousands of U.S. soldiers have been killed and hundreds of thousands more have suffered severe physical and psychological wounds. The cost of the war is now running at $700 million dollars per day, over $7,000 per second. The U.S. leaders who have initiated and conducted this criminal war should be tried and jailed for war crimes.[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=arial]

The war in Afghanistan is expanding, and both the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates and Congressional leaders have promised to send in more troops. Both have promised to increase the size of the U. S. military. Both have promised to increase military aid to Israel to continue its oppression of the Palestinian people, including the denial of the right of return.[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=arial]

While millions of families are losing their homes, jobs and healthcare, the real military budget next year will top one trillion dollars, $1,000,000,000,000. If used to meet people’s needs, that amount could create 10 million new jobs at $60,000 per year, provide healthcare for everyone who does not have it now, rebuild New Orleans and repair much of the damage done in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Federal bailouts of the biggest banks and investors many of whom have also made billions in profits from militarism, are already up to an astounding $2.5 trillion this year. None of that money is earmarked for keeping millions of foreclosed and evicted families in their homes.

Coming just two months after the inauguration of the next president, March 21, 2009 will be a critical opportunity to let the new administration in Washington hear the voice of the people demanding justice.

Bail Out Workers—Not Banks! Stop Plants Closings!

Wednesday Protest to Support Republic Windows and Doors Workers in Chicago!

Location and Time:

Actions in support of the workers will begin at 5:00 PM at the
following locations:

Miami: 100 Southeast 2nd Street, Miami, FL

Fort Lauderdale: 3800 W. Broward Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, FL

Orlando: 4725 S Kirkman Rd, Orlando, FL

ANSWER Florida, Justice First, and the Miami May Day Alliance is
calling for actions against Bank of America to build solidarity with
the workers of Republic Windows and Doors in Chicago, who have staged
a sit-down strike to keep their jobs. This is an all-important
struggle; millions of workers are getting the shaft from their bosses,
who are using the economic crisis to steal their benefits and
pensions. These workers are fighting back.

Over 200 workers have occupied their workplace factory at Republic
Windows and Doors in Chicago, after the company shut down the plant,
claiming lack of funds to pay the workers their back pay, vacation and
other benefits, or to give 60 days' notice as required by federal law.

The plant closing was precipitated by Bank of America's refusal to
extend any more credit to the company, despite the fact that B of A
has received $25 billion in bailout funds. These billions were
supposed to help relieve credit shortages and help sustain jobs.
Instead, the banks are using taxpayer dollars to merge into larger
banks. Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase are the two banks that
invest in Republic Windows and Doors. The workers are owed an average
of 75 days' pay and vacation. Companies are bound by federal law to
either give 60 days' notice with pay, before a plant closing or layoff
of 50 or more workers.

It is reported that Republic Windows and Doors is planning to move its
plant to Iowa because of cheaper labor costs, and to get out of union
obligations with the United Electrical Workers Union. Workers across
the country are paying a heavy price for the bank's and corporations'
theft. It's time for the bankers and companies to pay, NOT THE
WORKERS!

PROPOSAL FOR THE LIBERATION OF THE CONSULATE


Brothers and Sisters,

These are volatile times. As we all know, on December 6th one of our comrades was shot and killed in Greece. Our brothers and sisters in Athens, Thessaloníki, Dimitrios and all around the country that claims to be "the birthplace of democracy" have shown the Greek government and the governments of the world what they will get if they continue to ignore the needs of the worker and continue to show us where their true allegiances lie by bailing out their friends: the banks and the corporations. The entire world is covered in gasoline, Greece is only where the first match was struck.
Saturday, the 20th of December has been called as a day of solidarity straight from the burning streets of Athens. Numerous acts of solidarity have been performed already by our comrades from every corner of the world, from Warsaw to Melbourne to Pittsburgh. Here in New York, the Greek consulate has been vandalized. In cities like London and Berlin, the consulates and embassies of the murderers have been occupied and the black and red flags have been raised in place of that of the oppressor, and just this morning the GSEE building in Greece. This Saturday we propose that we finally bring the struggle here to the heart of the Empire, the United States of America, by doing the same. We propose the destruction of the State, because the Greeks are not the only ones murdered by capitalism. We call for direct action and solidarity throughout all of the cities of the US and of the world.
Here in New York, the anarchist presence has been overwhelmingly nonexistant. In the city where the capitalists both exercise their greed on Wall Street and flaunt it in Times Square, a coherent and positive statement must be made. That is why this Saturday, in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Greece, who are actively fighting the fascism of the State on their burning streets every day, we call for an attack on, and the liberation of, the Greek consulate. We call for all anarchists, communists, syndicalists, and likemided activists to fight against the fascism of the state and the collective hallucinations of property and capital. We call for a large contingent of anarchists from across the New York metro area to once and for all give the fascist police and politicians, who are simply puppets of the corporations and the corporatist state in which we are forced to live, a taste of their own medicine. There is certainly a time for peaceful protest, but we all know that the police, our enemy, will not be thinking about peace when they are preparing to suppress us. The capitalists kill every day, in the name of their God, the dollar bill. We must be ready. Know that this is the beginning of a revolution that will be bigger than all of us, and that we will all be a part of, in which we will all do our part. On Saturday we will meet at midday at 78th and Park. We will walk towards the consulate, against the will of the fascist cops and liberate it forcibly, with molotov cocktails and a thirst for freedom. We will take down and burn the flags of the Greek government and of the despicable bastion of free-trade, the European Union. We will replace them with the red and black flags of anarcho-communism. We will make the government "property" of a murderous State into a space for the community, similar to what has been done to the city halls of towns like Dimitrios and the embassies of London and Berlin, and institute true freedom and council democracy and decision making.
Please, if you are willing and able, come to the Greek consulate in New York City in solidarity with those fighting for freedom in Greece, and help us to do the same here in the Empire. We are not going to sit back and wait for the Revolution to happen, we are starting it now. This is the beginning, and we will fight until the end. And so it begins...
Comradely,
Bronx Anarcho-Communist Alliance

Washington D.C.: Protest the spring IMF/World Bank meetings, April 24-26, 2009


As the economic crisis deepens and US foreclosure and unemployment rates climb, wealthy bankers and finance ministers from around the world scramble to resuscitate the financial institutions which created the crisis in the first place. This April the global elite, global financial institutions, and wealthy governments will meet to plan out billions of dollars worth of new economic bailouts for themselves while the nation's poor, the poor of the world, and working people are left with only crumbs. Billions of dollars have already been handed over to CEOs and portfolio managers, while workers' benefits and wages get slashed simultaneously. This trend will continue so long as capitalist expansion is prioritized over democratic principles, as long as profit is more important than people.

A better world is possible, a world in which our means of providing for ourselves is not controlled by a wealthy elite. A global order is possible in which the dignity of human life is placed above greed, and the living earth is shared and respected, rather than commodified and sold.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are two institutions which enforce the hyper-capitalist status quo. Since 1980, these institutions have been forcing countries to adopt neoliberal structural adjustment policies of privatization, liberalization and budget cuts. These policies are directly to blame for much of the suffering in the current financial crisis and in its predecessors in Argentina, East Asia, Russia and elsewhere. Though the IMF itself is beginning to admit its mistakes – it recently recommended that countries abandon market fundamentalist policies to directly intervene in their economies – it’s understood that that advice only applies to the United States and European countries. Free markets for the poor and socialism for the rich is their mantra.

Neoliberal economics widens the sphere of imperialist capitalism, props up schemes of privatization, market liberalization and deregulation, and is ultimately to blame for this crisis. The World Bank and IMF are preeminent supranational institutions working to preserve the global financial order that puts profits, private gain, militarism, and gentrification over the needs of the people. Through their Structural Adjustment Programs - what they now refer to as “Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers” – these institutions have been destroying economies, local and global, for far too long. They must be stopped.

The World Bank and IMF will be holding their annual joint spring meetings April 24-26 in Washington DC. As they try to save themselves from global financial meltdown (or maybe just give themselves a few extra billion dollars) we all know better than to let them have all the fun without us. Join Global Justice Action to oppose these institutions, resist the dominant global order, and show that a better world is possible, free from neoliberalism, capitalism, and imperialism.

Global Justice Action embraces a diversity of tactics and will therefore be organizing a wide array of actions and events including coordinated direct actions and blockades, a mass permitted march, a people's forum, and a few other surprises! GJA will host community education events, arts workshops, trainings, and direct action meetings in the months leading up to April for the purposes of putting together a well coordinated, effective, inclusive weekend of actions that will hamper the plans of the ten thousand plus delegates.

ANNOUNCING THE 15TH ANNUAL ANTI-RACIST ACTION NETWORK CONFERENCE!
OCTOBER 9TH-12TH, 2009 IN PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA


During the weekend of October 9th-12th, the Anti-Racist Action Network
will be holding its 15th annual conference in Pittsburgh, PA. We are
inviting all members of Anti-Racist Action as well as all
anti-fascists who agree with our 4 Points of Unity (see the end).

The conference, taking place over 4 days, will include ARA's annual
plenary, caucuses and discussion on current issues facing
antifascists. Various workshops and several social events are also
planned. Organizations will be tabling all weekend as well.

Please note that only Network-affiliated chapters will be allowed to
attend the private sessions of the plenary. All registered attendees
may come to the public portions. If you are a part of a non-affiliated
chapter or collective that wants to become affiliated with ARA-NET,
please see the organizers as soon as you arrive. All friends of ARA
are welcome and encouraged to participate in the rest of the weekend.

We are envisioning this conference as a gathering of all dedicated
anti-fascists -whether in Anti-Racist Action or not - and would like
to see this year's conference include as many people and new ideas as
possible. The ARA Network has had a very interesting year, with member
collectives publishing multiple periodical publications, opening
social centers, organizing demonstrations, and combatting local
fascist groups. We hope that you will come and add to the momentum!

If you are new to anti-fascism, please come and learn from our
experience (and help us open our eyes to new possibilities);

If you are a former member, please come and get back in touch with us;

If you are an unaffiliated chapter - for whatever reason - come to the
conference, meet other antifascists and take the opportunity to learn
more about ARA-NET and what benefits there are
to being a part of the Network.

Over the next few weeks, we will be confirming the details of the
conference and will send out a registration form and more specific
details. For now, please mark the date on your calendar and plan to
join us in Pittsburgh for our annual conference!

Hope to see YOU there!

In solidarity,
The Anti-Racist Action Conference Planners

ANTI-RACIST ACTION NETWORK'S 4 POINTS OF UNITY:

1. We go where they go: Whenever fascists are organizing or active
in public, we're there. We don't believe in ignoring them or staying
away from them. Never let the nazis have the street!
2. We don't rely on the cops or courts to do our work for us: This
doesn't mean we never go to court. But we must rely on ourselves to
protect ourselves and stop the fascists.
3. Non-Sectarian defense of other Anti-Fascists: In ARA, we have
lots of different groups and individuals. We don't agree about
everything and we have a right to differ openly. But in this movement
an attack on one is an attack on us all. We stand behind each other.
4. We support abortion rights and reproductive freedom. ARA intends
to do the hard work necessary to build a broad, strong movement
against racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, discrimination
against the disabled, the oldest, the youngest and the most oppressed
people. We want a classless free society. WE INTEND TO WIN!

[Stand Your Ground]

Anyone who would like to come, me and my girlfriend are setting up a KFC protest for August 29, 2009. If you would like more info reply here or send a message to one of our contact points below. Come and help support us!
