A greek comrade gave a short speech on what was happening in Greece and the we dispersed read full story / add a comment

Meet at top of Grafton St at entrance to Stephens Green @1pm Saturday 20th Dec Part of an International Day of Resistance and Solidarity the call for whcih came from Greece amidst the resistance against state oppression and murder there. Police accountability will only occur when our demands become loud enough to be unavoidable. State violence must be resisted at all levels be it in the form of the police or more stealthy in the form of the cutting of vital public health services. Cutbacks that will cause the deaths or ordinary people will only be stopped by making our resistance to them loud, and effective. Solidarity! read full story / add a comment

Everyone knows that an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at GW Bush in Bagdhad in December 2008. It's a story which got its global media coverage with predictable attitudes and spin & could easily be forgotten, were it not for a few factoids & considerations as well as precedents. Which I'd like to share with people here without going into too much pseudo-analytic expertise. It's all about how shoe tossing was immediately explained to "us" as having resonance with muslims in general and Iraqi's in particular. read full story / add a comment

"Today (Friday), the assembly of the occupied Athens Polytechnic decided to make a callout for European and global-wide actions of resistance in the memory of all assassinated youth, migrants and all those who were struggling against the lackeys of the state. Carlo Juliani; the French suburb youths; Alexandros Grigoropoulos and the countless others, all around the world. Our lives do not belong to the states and their assassins! The memory of the assassinated brothers and sisters, friends and comrades stays alive through our struggles! We do not forget our brothers and sisters, we do not forgive their murderers. Please translate and spread around this message for a common day of coordinated actions of resistance in as many places around the world as possible. read full story / add a comment
