Violent Misogynists, Reactionaries, And Fascists Wanted 2018 To Be The "Counter-1968." They've Gotten Their Wish.

In the first few months of 2016, the spirits of three young women - all fighting in various areas of the Global South, against poverty, Apartheid, fascism, and fundamentalism - hung over the world. Anna Campbell, 22, a British anarchist and eco-feminist, gunned down by the forces of Turkish dictator Erdogan and extremist groups tied to ISIS. Ahed Tamimi, 17, a rebellious child prisoner in the wider prison state of Israel. Marielle Franco, 38, a Brazilian murdered in the belly of a neoliberal police state. All three represented popular resistance against an increasingly hostile and patriarchal world, governed by the supreme diktats of markets and Empire. Their dreams reflect the ideals of millions of young women - but not just women - in the poorest regions of the earth. 2018 was supposed to be the "year of the woman." Between a massive March manifestation - lively, anarchistic, and rebellious - against the patriarchy in Spain, the exposure of sexual violence by the obs...

Swiss Refugees' Rights Activists Place Signs Highlighting Brutality Of European Capitalist Policy

(Translated from Barrikade to highlight activism for refugees' rights and conditions facing migrants in Europe https://barrikade.info/Aktionsruckblick-Aktionen-gegen-Grenzen-fur-pol-Gefangene-und-Gedenken-an-Suruc-1286) On Wednesday night, we placed signs in various public baths and along the Aare, which forbid mooring with boats as well as the rescue of drowning people. In this way we want to draw attention to the inhumane and murderous policies on the European external borders Nationalist politics once again shows its murderous face! Europe's right-wing governments are tightening their foreclosure policy and causing thousands of people to die at European external borders. The depressing, temporary climax was reached when private rescue ships with fugitives were forbidden to break into a harbor or even set sail. The result was hundreds of dead refugees in June this year. Central to this policy are the new governments of Italy, Austria and Ger...
