A-Infos (en) Italy, Galatea Anarchists: Flyers - 8 March (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

1) The society in which we live is structured in many links that make up a chain 
of oppression. ---- Hetero-patriarchy is one of these links: it consists of 
violence and subordination towards women and non-hetero-normated subjectivities. 
---- We think it is necessary to question the internalized macho forms and 
behaviors that are fed to us by this society. ---- At the same time, we criticize 
the hegemonic positions of a liberal, white and bourgeois feminism that 
marginalizes and excludes so-called "unregulated" sexualities and bodies, openly 
advocating a racism and classism typical of the current status quo. ---- Since 
genres are imposed social constructions, we push for the complete deconstruction 
of our ways of seeing ourselves and relating to other people, without rules and 
norms imposed from above on what we want to be.
The fight against hetero-patriarchy cannot be separated from the anti-speciesist 
one. The exercise of dominion involves all species: the liberation must be total.
We are anarchicu and we distance ourselves from any group, collective or petition 
coordination that supports the reform of the current system of domination; we do 
not expect anything from any type of institution and we reject a capitalism with 
a human face (but fierce and competitive in the lives of all of us)
Our support and our solidarity go to those who are moving towards a self-managed 
and horizontal society, free from a macho and authoritarian culture.
=========================================
2) The election of the coalition led by Giorgia Meloni meant that, in the 
aftermath of the elections, the bar of attacks by right-wing and neo-conservative 
movements against non-heterosexual and non-male people was raised again.
Thus, a week from March 8, Meloni gives an interview, which is echoed by the 
words of Cristina Gramolini of ArciLesbica, according to which "gender ideology 
damages women". Without forgetting the support given by the Psychoanalytical 
Society to Meloni regarding the negative opinion on the assumption of puberty 
blocking drugs. On other levels, we have witnessed the presentation of various 
bills which, without directly questioning law 194, done would go to shore up and 
undermine access to the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy, proposing to 
recognize juridical subjectivity to the embryo. A practice already seen in other 
countries.
What links, for example, a shooting in a queer club, as happened several times in 
the United States, to the attack on IVG access? Or the fight against "gender 
ideology" and the transqueerlesboomophobic attacks in the Italian streets during 
Pride?
The anti-abortion attack goes hand in hand with the aggression towards trans 
binary and non-binary people and towards the queer community, favoring a concept 
of the relationship between sexes and genders that is strictly binary and 
essentially linked to the imaginary of the father of the family straight 
cisgender, white and middle class. An "ordered" world that never existed - except 
in the historical and scientific fantasies of certain political subjects - and 
which often hid institutionalized and socially accepted domestic violence.
For this reason, we have decided to translate materials concerning the struggle 
for access to abortion in various parts of the world: from the United States to 
San Marino, from Russia to Latin America, passing through Poland, Hungary, etc.
=========================================

3) The current Russian-Ukrainian conflict has brought Russia to a considerable 
social, cultural and economic abyss.
Taking advantage of the conflict, the Duma approved a series of laws against 
women and non-heteronormative people, all with the blessing of the bourgeoisie 
and the Russian Orthodox Church.
Addressing social and reproductive justice through a transfeminist lens could 
become a means of confronting the Putin regime and challenging the Russian 
establishment. "Gender" in the current Russian political sphere is assuming more 
and more importance as a matter of national security: from the total ban on the 
representation of LGBTQ+ people in art and media to the praise of women as mothers.
The Russian government's defense of "traditional values" places it as the primary 
custodian of the nation's heteronormativity and procreation. The crusade against 
LGBTQ+ rights, abortion and "gender ideology" unites Putin with those 
conservative movements around the world that use anti-gender campaigns as 
"ideological glue" against Western hegemony and in defense of the bourgeoisie and 
militarist spending.
This is what is happening where, on the one hand, many men have been mobilized, 
conscripted or fled the country and, on the other hand, the budget for welfare 
benefits has been reduced (or even depleted) in some areas of the country - in 
favor of the military and propaganda.
The "Feminist Resistance Against War" is one of Russia's most significant 
anti-war movements actively campaigning against the Kremlin's attempts to crack 
down on those groups committed to advocacy for reproduction/social justice. The 
actions and activities of this resistant movement are psychological, legal and 
economic support, as well as advice on how to defend oneself on the internet and 
expatriate the country (especially if people who are mobilized and/or about to be 
called up request it).
As Galatea Anarchist Group, we have been engaged in writing texts concerning the 
Russian-Ukrainian conflict and in translating articles from the Russian 
anti-militarist feminist newspaper "Zhenskaya Pravda" (linked to "Feminist 
Resistance Against War").
We invite all compagnu to support this reality that opposes war and operates, 
amidst a thousand difficulties, at the level of actions and activities of mutual 
aid and counter-information.
