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 current
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 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."

While entering the election process, anarchists from different cities started a
campaign around the slogan "Can't be solved at the ballot box". In the text
shared from its social media accounts, it was emphasized that while the AKP is
doing its best to prevent social reaction with its policies of repression and
violence, the so-called opposition is feeding a climate of fear with the fallacy
of "beneficial to the government". In the text, in which it was stated that the
candidates who entered the elections would ask people to vote with threats, not
with promises, it was said, "Our problems will not be solved by voting for one of
the candidates who are basically no different from each other." ---- "We, as

For years, one of the Rassemblement National's main seemingly normalization

heart of the far-right worldview, in particular by fueling conspiracy. ----
"De-demonization is only about anti-Semitism.[...]It is anti-Semitism that
prevents people from voting for us. There is only that... From the moment you
break this ideological lock, you release the rest.»[1]---- In 2014, Louis Aliot,
then vice-president of the FN, put at the heart of his de-demonization strategy
the end of the far-right party's association with anti-Semitism. On October 13,

Today in France, women receive a retirement pension that is 40% lower than that
of men. The cause? Women are often confined to less well-paid, more precarious
salaried work and choppy careers. The reform project will worsen these
inequalities, but all together, working women can win. ---- Double day -
half-retirement ---- If women receive retirement pensions almost half those of
men, this is primarily due to pay inequalities: in 2022 again, the average salary
of women is lower by 22%). But who says low wages, says low contributions, then
low pensions. ---- In addition to being paid less, women are more forced into
choppy careers because they do most of the domestic work. It's a double working
day: at work and at home. This makes our careers more precarious: it is mostly

For the Emma Goldman Anarchist Collective (CEG), 2022 has been a busy year.
Indeed, the collective has carried out various initiatives that have had an
impact both in Saguenay on the Nitassinan, in Quebec and even more widely in the
Francophonie. These projects took the form of a book, brochures, audio or video
recordings, solidarity actions related to various current issues. For example:
war and imperialism, the crisis of the health system, the high cost of living,
solidarity with evicted squatters and squatters in Chicoutimi, mutual aid with
the inhabitants of the neighborhood, environmental and decolonial struggles, etc

Enough of colonial aggression ---- On 1 and 28 December 2022, with two
decree-laws of dubious constitutionality and uncertain compatibility with
European standards - but which the para-fascist-led Parliament will not fail to
convert - the Meloni government saved the ISAB of Priolo and the other factories
of death in the Melilli-Priolo-Augusta area, saving them from the closure and
seizure procedure that the Syracusan Judiciary had just initiated after more than
a decade of complaints and delaying tactics. The solution found is the worst that
could be imagined. ---- The first decree, which entered into force on 6 December
last, following the application of the European embargo on Russian hydrocarbons,

The union movement must be rebuilt and as soon as possible. It will only be
harder the more the movement declines. Rebuilding can only be done through a rank
and file insurgency. There may be times and places where it is appropriate to
organise new unions (for example in entirely unorganised parts of the workforce,
or where the existing union is wholly on the side of the bosses and cannot be
recaptured by its members). Most workers, though, will not break with the
officials until they are already mobilised and a practical decision is in front
of them, so the insurgency must operate largely within existing unions. -

The second half of January on the Polish-Belarusian border. The attention of the
media ended a long time ago, the authorities bombarded us with assurances about
the effectiveness of the border barrier. Of course, despite all this, people are
still trying to get to a place where they can be safe and lead a normal life. No
wall or violence from the services will stop them from doing so. Therefore, we
are still in Podlasie and we carry out aid activities here. ---- Recent weeks
have indeed seen a smaller number of attempts to cross the border, but sometimes,
in the last 17 months, this number has fallen, only to suddenly soar again. There
are fewer people, but they are still here. ---- Recently, we have received news

In Israel, the most radical and xenophobic right has returned to power. This
means that the already strongly anti-Palestinian and illibertarian policies of
the outgoing government will undergo a militaristic boost and the consolidation
of the occupation of Palestinian lands and the expulsion of the legitimate
inhabitants. Together with Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud, the Otsma Yehudi party
(Jewish Power), the Religious Zionist Party and the Noam party entered the
government, forming a coalition of fundamentalist and fascist fanatics. ---- We
interviewed a comrade from Tel Aviv about this situation. ---- 1) After the
recent general elections, Netanyahu returned to power supported by the far right;

In mid-November, the XXXVIIth congress of the FAPT-CGT (Federation of Postal
Activities and Telecommunications) was held. We return here to two important
questions that were discussed. ---- The entire CGT has been shaken for some time
by the feminist wave. On the subject of sexist and sexual violence (VSS) within
the CGT and its confederal watch cell, the management of the FAPT-CGT rather
shares the proactive positions of Marie Buisson, approached to succeed Philippe
Martinez. The congress heard several interventions to support this cell and
present tools to fight against SGBV. ---- Few unions intervened to explain their
practices on this subject. And when one of them proposed the establishment of a
training plan on GBV, this was reflected in the orientation document by a vague
