What is the Basta event in Wicklow a chara?
US radical folk band "this bike is a pipe bomb" are playing in wicklow at the same time.
Not the Village man, no surely not. Jaysus if that's the case anarchist youth must have the same age criteria as Ogre Fianna Fail?
Don't know who the Village man is but AFAIK Anarchist Youth is for under 25's and most of them are teens
There is a report from this meeting from a WSM member, a SP member and some discussion of these reports at http://www.anarkismo.net/newswire.php?story_id=2360

17, 18 and 19th of Feb (sort of now) italian contigents getting ready,
http://italy.indymedia.org/news/2006/02/992154.php who can forget their saint precarious last year? for Mayday "our day" sees the creativity shared and there's not much "v" between the two traditions of socialism. last year though ireland did a different day, (or local political calander reasons) the image they used was bounced around europe and carried as a banner throughout Italy.
Lets start getting ready! & remember Berlin wasn't one of the familiy last year, and had horrible riots (not one of our gigs had arrests) so send word to the Berliners "Do it well!"
"Reclaim May Day!"
"end precarity!"
As you are doubtless aware, Neuropa was the name the Third Reich gave to
its concept of a New Europe. It is now being promoted as a pseudo left
concept: (MAYDAY, MAYDAY!! Why precari@s, intermittents, cognitari/e are
rebelling across NEUROPA...)
Matteo Pasquinella has also been promoting Neuropa:
"Neuropa is then the continent of the multitude cooperating and struggling
against eurocrats' market conservatism and nation-states'
authoritarianism. The neuropean cognitariat is in conflict against
proprietary, predigital elites still prisoners of the cold war mindset and
allied of american imperial projects. The post-1989 generation must occupy
europe to make it a continent of global democracy. Neurogreens proposes to
the European movement to raise a new flag: black as Anarchy, with a circle
of twelve stars like Europe's, twinkling with dayglo green hues like the
metropolitan Ecologism we are to unleash. Neurogreen fights for a
cosmodemocratic, non-neoliberal and antigerontocratic europe. Let's take
back Stasbourg and Brussels!"

Why is organising on a “Europe-wide” basis such a bad idea?
Â
At various meetings arranged to help mobilise against the G8 summit, the idea of creating European Networks has been presented. Whether simply against repression or of a more general nature, the idea has been proposed more than once. There is also a separate idea that those involved in facilitating the well-being of protestors during the G8 conference should consider ways of developing the relationships that such work must involve for future activities. We would like to separate these ideas. As the European Union grows in power, Pan-European internationalism will create more problems than it solves. Whereas some may see “European-wide” links as being a healthy way of breaking out of the limits of the nation, for us the real key to internationalism lies in its universalism. We suggest that the abandonment of “Europe-wide” organising is necessary to allow a more egalitarian way of organising which does not privilege the “European”, whether understood in terms of culture, race or region.
It is precisely this three-fold ambiguity in the sense of the word “European” that gives it such a volatile ideological value. It can be understood by different people in different ways. Those that understand it terms of region, perforce must adopt the sort of territorialism which is characteristic of the state, in this case the emerging European Union. Another conception is racial, which originated in the consolidation of a White social elite in European colonies outside Europe. The third associates the highest level of human achievement with the history of Europe from the days of ancient Greece to today.
Â
Europe-wide organising has a reactionary effect by:
Â
Encouraging a European identity as something separate from humanity in general by privileging European connectedness.
Discouraging the participation of people from non-European diasporas living in Europe by discriminating against their social, cultural and political connections with places outside Europe
Obstructing a critical appraisal of Eurocentrism, institutional racism and White Supremacy by adopting a structure which facilitates all three.
Â
“Globalisation” has highlighted our increasing need to develop counter-strategies at a global level. For this to succeed we need to ensure that an organisational practice that embraces the whole of humanity, rather than allowing a method of organisation which asserts the autonomy of one of the richest parts of the world which has a track record of spreading destruction, exploitation and brutality across the world since the inception of capitalism in the sixteenth century C.E.
