Viva la muerte

Carlos Ortiz de Zárate | Vivía en Francia cuando se estrenó la película de Fernando Arrabal y la visión de la misma me produjo mucho malestar. El discurso de los medios de comunicación españoles, desde que todos los partidos acordaran la suspensión de la campaña electoral de hoy por el atentado cometido, presuntamente, por ETA, en Mondragón (Arrasate), me parece aún más nauseabundo que la película.

March 8, IWD: This Moment and The Oppression of Women

Rosa harris | The oppression of women is rooted in horrific silences and self-righteous conservatisms. The oppressions festers behind the walls and traditions of family “privacy.” It is wreathed in shame and custom. It is denied as it is so vigorously enforced by state and church and male fists. It is harvested in the great global productive loops of sweatshops and field labor — from endless days of labor at sewing machines and assembly lines, in the nights of domestic slavery and in lifetimes sacrificed to enforced childbearing. more...  0 Comments

ON MARCH 9TH, THE REVOLUTION WILL BE LIVE

Carl Dix | Many people feel the need for change, radical change. At the same time, most people have accepted the conventional wisdom that such change isn't really possible. That revolution and communism have been tried and failed, or even that they;'ve led to disaster. People's dreams of a different and better way of life have been diverted back into praying for something better in some afterlife. Or sucked down to backing Obama's campaign to become the new face for the U.S. empire by his talk of hope and change. more...  3 Comments

Miller aka DJ Spooky, musician, writer, and filmmaker; and Daniel Pinchbeck, author and editorial director of Reality Sandwich, will discuss the transfigured landscape of our new networked culture, its potentials and pitfalls.

ILWU to Shut Down West Coast Ports May 1 Demanding End to War in Iraq, Afghanistan

Internationalist Group | In a major step for the U.S. labor movement, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) has announced that it will shut down West Coast ports on May 1, to demand an immediate end to the war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Middle East. This is the first time in decades that an American union has decided to undertake industrial action against a U.S. war. The action announced by the powerful West Coast dock workers union, to stop work to stop the war, should be taken up by unions and labor organizations throughout the United States and internationally. And the purpose of such actions should be not to beg the bourgeois politicians whose hands are covered with blood, having voted for every war budget for six and a half years, but a show of strength of the working people who make this country run, and who can shut it down! more...  1 Comments
