Tunisia

Class struggle in Maghreb and Mashrek [1]…Class struggle worldwide… Since weeks and months a strong movement is taking place in the so-called “Arab world”, which is nothing but a part of the whole world of capital.

Protests and demonstrations, clashes with police and... [Lire la suite]

Rebels in the Maghreb… who they are? (in Arabic)

Against the dictatorship of the economy Long live the international revolt of the proletariat! What’s the difference between these revolts in the “Arab world” and the previous revolts in Latin America, in Greece or in French suburbs? Which difference can there be between the struggles of proletarians in Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Syria, Yemen… and in Bolivia, in China? They don’t have any different reasons, they don’t have any different enemy, and they don’t have any different perspectives. If they don’t break out yet... [Lire la suite]

¡CONTRA LA DICTADURA DE LA ECONOMÍA! ¡VIVA LA REVUELTA INTERNACIONAL DEL PROLETARIADO! ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre las revueltas que estallan en Mundo Arabe y las revueltas anteriores en América Latina o la de Grecia o los barrios pobres de Francia? ¿Qué diferencia puede haber entre la lucha de los proletarios en Argelia, Tunes, Egipto, Yemen, Libia, Bahréin, Siria, o con la de Bolivia o China? No hay causas diferentes, no hay enemigo diferente, no puede haber perspectiva diferente. Si la revuelta proletaria estalla en forma... [Lire la suite]

Since several months, the revolt has been growing and spreading from Algeria to Iraq. Thousands of rebels, young and less young, men and women shook the power while demonstrating, rioting, striking. Ben Ali and Mubarak left. May they croak! According to the bourgeois and their allies (unions, parties, political organizations, and journalists) “the people demands democracy”… as if we would like to be controlled, imprisoned, dispossessed of our existence under the yoke of any government. As if democracy could solve all our problems by... [Lire la suite]

After Ben Ali and Mubarak, who’s next? The revolutionary fire spreads all over the Arabic countries. A wave of panic sweeps through the dictators’ side, while the population steps up its courage and self-confidence, in spite of the most ferocious repression, like in Libya. In Algeria, in Yemen, in Bahrain, in Libya, in Iran, or in Morocco, at various levels, demonstrations increase. In Libya the hundreds of deaths on the orders of the dictator in desperate straits only contributed to overexciting the courage of demonstrators and... [Lire la suite]

Rebels in the Maghreb… who they are? The State and its enlightened commentators were first selling us that it was about: a little obstacle in the smooth running of business, to get round as soon as possible; an expression of brutality peculiar to countries not well civilized; hooligans, terrorists who attack the institutions, private property, police, and who have to be repressed by their governments, with our help. After a Head of State was forced to run away, they were selling us that it was about: ... [Lire la suite]

Leaflet of solidarity with the Tunisian insurgents Since several weeks, proletarians in the Maghreb revolt against living conditions that become intolerable and against the terror policy of the State. They take to the street, clash with cops, assault all the buildings of the State, warehouses of goods, banks… they block roads and particularly in Algeria they clearly reject any oppositional and/or Islamite political control. In their real practice these movements of struggle affirm themselves against the State, against private... [Lire la suite]
