  • Dr Michael PARENTI : Race, Gender and Class Stuggle (1h)
    11 April 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    In case you missed it...
    Michael Parenti is one of America’s most astute and engaging political analysts. In this talk, he describes how divisions of race and gender have played into — and often against — struggles for economic justice and human rights. He calls on progressive activists to focus on fighting the opprressive power structures that are at the base of wars and economic injustices rather than on differences among ourselves. Parenti also discusses and signs his new book, "The (…)

    By RON JACOBS
    April 4, 1968 was the day that Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed in Memphis, Tennessee. He had been working with the Memphis sanitation workers in their struggle for better working conditions and a union. The night before his assassination he gave his speech that ended with the words "But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land. And I’m happy, tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the (…)

  • Venezuela 2008 : A libertarian view & proposal for the current situation
    2 April 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    * Issue #52 of El Libertario is out . In its contents we reaffirm the commitment of this voice of Venezuelan anarchism to maintain a critical viewpoint on the country’s realities, as well as our stand in solidarity with the struggle for liberty and equality. The year begins and it’s already clear that the electoral circus will be used once again to tame the social struggle in Venezuela, a script routinely applied with success for the last 10 years. Elections for governors, state (…)

  • Sunrise at Buchenwald
    28 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    mdmorrissey, Feb. 28, 2008 (www.mdmorrissey.info/sunrise )
    Hail, Sol Invictus.
    Pray tell what mortal hand or eye
    could frame such irony,
    read from the inside:
    Jedem das Seine.
    We will not tolerate
    outrageous conspiracy theories.
    Preemptive war
    and torture
    will set you free.
    On this drizzle of a day
    the old god struggles
    across cluttered cyberskies
    fortunately returning
    but still the iron stands.
    It does not melt like buildings
    struck by airplanes
    or (…)

  • Paralyzed With Fear
    27 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    I’m not normally someone who becomes incapacitated by fear. Whenever I have to address something that frightens me, I do so without hesitation and usually discover that the object of my fright is not as frightening as I feared.
    For the last few years, however, I’ve been increasingly incapacitated by my growing fear about the rapidly approaching future. What scares the hell out of me? Total economic collapse, for one, which will make the Great Depression of the 1930s seem like a picnic in (…)

  • Self-Serving
    14 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Each country has got its own Berlusconis, Blairs, Bushes or Popes. It is a kind of globalization thing and Blair may seem to have exaggerated recently in France whilst speaking about the current political situation. In reality he was just making another of his speeches on the "third-way" and that which he has really not been able to do; bring peace. Instead he has been able only to open discontent, the consequences of which he has sought to manage with repressive laws. Has the Blair era been (…)
