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."

(gr) Άμεση ανάκληση της απόλυσης του σύντροφου και συνάδελφου Ντίνου Παλαιστίδη

ΜΠΟΫΚΟΤΑΖ ΣΤΙΣ ΕΚΔΟΣΕΙΣ ΑΓΡΑ --- Εκδόσεις ΑΓΡΑ: διεκδικείς τα δικαιώματά
σου; --- Απολύεσαι!--- Η εκδικητική απόλυση --- Ο συνάδελφος και
σύντροφός μας Ντίνος Παλαιστίδης απολύθηκε από τις εκδόσεις ΑΓΡΑ, όπου
δούλευε ως πωλητής, υπάλληλος γραφείου, εξωτερικός (με το δικό του
μηχανάκι), εσωτερικός και ό,τι άλλο προέκυπτε. --- Προκειμένου να
ξεκαθαριστεί το τοπίο της εργασιακής του ιδιότητας και της σύμβασής του
ζητούσε από τον Ιούλιο του 2008 συνάντηση με τον εργοδότη. --- Αντί για
απάντηση έλαβε την αδιαφορία και την απαξίωση, που καμία φορά πιστεύει
πως έχει τη «δύναμη» και το «δικαίωμα» να χαρίζει απλόχερα αυτός που
νομίζει πως έχει τη θέση ισχύος (κλασική περίπτωση αφεντικού).

SHEFFIELD CLAIMANTS UNITE! ---- The new year saw the launch of a new Claimants and
Unemployed Workers group for Sheffield. The aim of the group is to fight for the rights of
people in the benefit system and put an end to harassment and unfair treatment. It can
often be really hard just getting through the paperwork to claim the benefits that people
are owed, so the new intiative is founded on the principle that we have to stick together
to get what we want. ---- At the launch meeting members of LCAP (London Coalition Against
Poverty) came to share their experiences with the new group and advice on winning battles
in the benefit system.

(en) Poland: Doctoral Students Protests with Anarchist ZSP*
a-infos-en@ainfos.ca
Tue Feb 09 06:59:07 GMT 2010
Members of ZSP in Wroclaw are involved in the organization of doctoral students at Wroclaw
University. The working conditions of the doctoral students are particularly bad. They are
required to do teaching and research and receive a stipend which is even less than minimal
wage. And in some of the humanities department, they don't even receive that. The doctoral
students are demanding a raise to the level of minimal wage. They do not currently receive
the minimum because they are not considered "workers". ---- On Jan. 27, the students held
a protest in front of Wroclaw University. Their demands were given to the University and
published on their new internet page. ---- The students are considering an escalation in
action, perhaps a strike, if their demands are not met. ---- ZSP has doctoral students in
other cities and it is possible that this protest will spread.

(en) US, Battlin' Phoenix: OSABC statement on the January 16 Day of Action - anti-Arpaio March

Tue Feb 09 06:53:17 GMT 2010
Fellow O'odham, Dine, Indigenous, Migrant, Non-indigenous brothers and sisters and
concerned people of Maricopa County... ---- After days of reflection, O'odham Solidarity
Across Borders Collective (OSABC) would like to give our thoughts and analysis on what
occurred on the January 16th National Day of Action Against Sheriff Joe: March for Human
Rights. As we all saw, heard and read, the march turned violent due to calculated moves by
Phoenix Police to unfairly, and unjustifiably remove a contingent of marchers that
expressed a voice and message that was foreign to them and national organizers, but all
too familiar to the original people of the very land they walk on. OSABC called for what
we dubbed the “Dine'-O'odham-Anarchist/Anti-Authoritarian” (DOA) contingent, in order to
voice what we recognize to be an unending historical condition of forced removal here in
