CNT’s statement against the war in Ukraine and against militarism

A global problem means a global fight and makes internationalism necessary. But what does internationalism mean in a revolutionary sense? What does it mean for women?

Women`s struggles have always been internationalist. What we have in common, is something that is hard to explain with words. It is the feeling we have when we see, hear or remember women rising up, getting their voice heard for our freedom, for a world without patriarchy, a world without the oppression of humans and nature.

As militant women and non-binary people we are developing tools in our practices, which can apply to the general structures, where all genders organize together. We find it important to have autonomous spaces in order to develop these tools, to come together, to learn and to share. From them we bring experiences, ideas and struggles back to the whole society. Our fight as internationalist women is always double: to kill the enemy inside of us and to fight the enemy outside.

But our aim is clear, here or wherever we are. We feel each other‘s pain and successes. With this we always try to do more than reality “allows us” to.

An internationalist women fight doesn’t seek for power. We are opposing power itself, while creating something new. This can also be seen through the revolutionary development in Rojava and Northern Syria. All the autonomous women structures are examples for us. In these places the friends celebrate all the differences, we bring to the united struggle.

With our creativity and because we love life, we can turn everything into a tool to defend freedom. There is a long tradition of internationalist women, who have taken up arms against the system, whilst we keep digging under the ruins of patriarchal history to recuperate and follow their ideas and actions. The militant group Rote Zora in Germany, among many others, has drawn this clear ideological pathway by its contact with the women workers struggle in Asia and its coordinated actions against a global enemy. Solidarity means to live and act according to our thoughts and beliefs. And in this the resistance of women is never disconnected from the other struggles.

But how to find the right methods? We want to fight for freedom in a way, that women around us and the people in general can understand how to get there, how we are getting there. Defending our ideas, we are walking, step by step, because we are living in a system that is based on thousands of years of women‘s enslavement. This means that revolutionary anti-patriarchal struggle, if we want it to be long term and successful, needs a balance and a lot of patience. In this way, we can say that women‘s movements in the past have “skipped some steps “. This is why in struggles/groups/places, where women and non-binary people are said to be accepted as “equal“ in the society, the “man inside“ has not been overcome. We are each other‘s mirrors. Starting from ourselves, with the critics we give and receive, the struggle can develop and grow.

 Self-defence

The concept of self-defence has not been taken seriously enough by the movements we come from. It is the reality of us women, to have to be ready to defend ourselves and our comrades against patriarchy. For any social organisation self-defence is necessary. In Kurdistan, and especially inside the democratic autonomy of Rojava, we can see that women are taking action to defend what they are creating. So we learn together, that nobody will do it for us. Also, we – coming from very different contexts – know, that there is no place we can run to, in order not to face the problems of patriarchal mentality. The fact that there are less internationalist women than men here, in this revolution, makes visible again how oppression works on a global level. So, it is not the case that less women are fighting, or that they are not “brave enough“. Most of them are not able to come:

It is our female comrades who are carrying on with responsibilities and daily work inside the structures of our local contexts back home, or who are taking care of a family member. For these reasons we especially remember them, whilst writing this.

A phenomenon, which we can observe both in the media as well as with our male comrades, is the topic of having or not permission to discuss patriarchy. In other words, dealing with questions like: „as a man – do I have the right to talk about sexism?“. To the reaction: „It seems as if it should be just the task of women to fight and overcome patriarchy.“ mostly the answer is „of course not“; but it often seems as if no man knows, how to make a change, at the very least.

There is nothing like a list of correct and incorrect behaviours, what to say and what not to say. But most of the female comrades don‘t want to be asked for such kind of “instructions“. So, what to do? How to deal with it? How to fight together with all genders against patriarchy? And how to overcome it? In order to find ways and methods, we have to look back in history and try to understand the development of patriarchy, its strong mechanisms and the capitalist attitude which patriarchy creates.

Rulership and oppression, as elements of hierarchal force, have not always existed. They developed throughout human history. The first step for this was to create separated groups and then give each of them different values. In other words, creating the oppressive hierarchy between men and women. When we look at the history of humankind before these changes, we can say that there were no people with less value than others. During the Palaeolithic and Neolithic ages, ending around 5000 years ago, people were organised in groups around the figure of the mothers (in matriarchies) and living in non-oppressive relationships with one another.

A mother doesn‘t love one child more than the other or treats them in different ways. People took the relationship between mother and child as an example for building up their own social relationships: this includes a strong sense of mutuality, responsibility and justice. People were not all the same in that time, before patriarchy was established, they had different tasks and so on, but there was no reason to split and categorise people in dichotomic groups based on good and bad, important and unimportant. This kind of rating and ranking is a main pillar of patriarchal thinking, and by implementing these divisions, mother-centred community was brutally destroyed.

This process is going on since around 5,000 years ago. Since then the splitting of people in this way started becoming more profound and acquired multiple dimensions. It is written inside all of our personalities. Women, as well as men, are strongly influenced by patriarchal gender roles of oppressing and being oppressed, something which is nowadays intensively mixed and intertwined with the capitalist-liberal approaches of competition and individualism. BUT looking at the whole existence of human beings – covering a period of millions of years – we can say, that this system is just a small part of it, just a few thousand years old. That means, that human history was mostly free from patriarchy. This is not just regarding the history of wars and violence. It also means that we – as humans – have the strength to change it. Maybe it‘s just bad luck to be born right now.

We are fighting for liberation from the capitalist patriarchal system. We cannot take HIS-story1 as a starting point for liberation, neither for the search for strategies to approach it. It would be a wrong reference point. We are on a quest for solutions, a search for ways towards freedom. We should also be conscious about the fact, that the system exists also inside ourselves, it is present in our thoughts, speeches and actions. If each one of us is reproducing the system through our personalities, we can analyse ourselves and each other, we can criticise and self-criticise and change the system by changing ourselves. Inside this mechanism lies also an answer for one of the questions we started with: „As a man – do I have the right to talk about sexism?“. Yes. Yes, and we could even say that it‘s not a right, but a condition for change.

But, as we can see, when we look back at human history, men shouldn‘t start with judging the fight of women from their point of view. They shouldn‘t give advice, but reconsider their own positions. Like this, it will be possible to overcome the view on reality of the white European heterosexual men as the only measuring and evaluating tool of understanding the world.

One example is the discussion about gender-quota. Interesting and important questions for men in this sense would be „What do I do/ think/ represent/ say (as a man in patriarchy) to create a situation and system, for that so many people are asking for a gender-quota?“, instead of judging whether it‘s right or wrong. Searching for their own patriarchal thinking and behaviour, instead of observing and judging the work, concepts and ideas of women, will show a way to fulfil responsibility in the fight for gender-liberation. Maybe it can stop the circle of guilt and lead to gender-liberation by „killing the man inside themselves“.

Women‘s struggle and class struggle

Considering the oppression of women as a consequence of capitalist and class oppression can easily result in a superficial understanding of patriarchy and its impact on the development of the mentality of Capitalist Modernity. Regarding the problem of unpaid, free domestic labour as its central theme diminishes the prospects of creating the world including the women’s point of view.

All the terminology inside political philosophy were invented by men. And the so-called «liberation» of women was often limited to economic issues. It’s important to remember that competition, which is inherent to capitalist mindset, is a part of patriarchal behaviour. It creates different forms of hierarchy and inevitable results in the inferiority of whoever loses.

Positivism2 which is based on productivity, fitted women into the category of object inside this constructed man’s world. Thus, women became part of this simplistic reality where they were seen as an appendage of men’s structures. They could only decide for themselves inside the limits of this imposed system where it was the men who were send as active subjects in society. The capitalist system limited the women’s role to the reproduction of human labour, to giving birth to more workers. The home , the private sphere is where this productivity in the sense of caring, cleaning, raising the children, was hidden like behind prison walls. Women’s work and their exploitation has been a condition for the exploitation of all proletarians, at the same time we have been mostly less acknowledged for our class struggle.

History knows that many revolutions, struggles and wars have led to new and increasingly sophisticated forms of oppression, such as the treatment of women during the Bolshevik government, after the October-Revolution. Within few years the allegedly progressive Soviet government turned out to create other forms of exploitation of women’s labour in factories and kolkhozes along with “kitchen slavery”.

It is time to fight again against this enemy, which appears with different faces, may it be liberalism, so called red socialism or the fake humanitarian NGO-discourse. It is time for us to connect, to rise up as internationalist women. The revolution is ongoing and there is a long and beautiful struggle in front of us that will make us successful on our path. As Lucy Parsons said, “ our motto is Freedom’: Freedom to discover any truth, freedom to develop, to live naturally and fully.”.

  • Attack on FAL’s Madrid office!
 
Authoritarians go against anarchist ideas!

Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo (FAL) is a foundation established by CNT to preserve the rich history of the libertarian movement in Spain and to promote anarchist ideas and culture. It has a bookshop, a lecture hall and meeting rooms and a library in downtown Madrid. If you’ve ever been to town, you may have visited, as it’s a well-known reference in libertarian circles nationwide.

This office of FAL has been attacked. Last Monday, we discovered that someone’s authoritarian drive had been busy during the weekend.

Whoever it was, their efforts were focused on rendering the lock unusable and smashing the front glass. They used spray paint, glue and other materials and picks or hammers. This level of preparation shows a great deal of intent. We’d wish that they devoted similar efforts to achieve important goals, like social justice or class solidarity.

Let’s be clear, this is an attack on anarchist ideas carried out in a fascist-like manner. What would be the point, otherwise, in acting against bookshelves and a lecture hall?

Libertarian ideas, books and culture have been attacked. It is obvious that whoever carried this act out are not regulars at our events… if they were, they would have read, listened and debated and would not have allowed themselves to be manipulated into this wanton act.

Needless to say, we condemn this attack. Luckily, only material damage has been inflicted. The Fundacion is open again, though we still have some tidy-up to do.

As usual, as always, we forge ahead with positive, constructive action.

  • ¡Atacada la sede de FAL en Madrid!

¡Agresión autoritaria contra la cultura anarquista!

La Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo (FAL) es una organización dependiente de CNT para la conservación de la rica historia del movimiento libertario y la divulgación del pensamiento, la cultura y las ideas anarquistas. Cuenta con una librería, salón de actos, salas de reuniones y biblioteca en el centro de Madrid. Es probable que la conozcas, si alguna vez has visitado la ciudad, porque es un referente en el panorama libertario peninsular.

Pues bien, esta sede de la Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo ha sido atacada. El pasado lunes nos encontramos con que el ánimo destructivo de alguien estuvo muy activo el fin de semana.

Volcaron sus esfuerzos en romper la cerradura y destruir el cristal de la fachada con pintura y picos, lo que demuestra que se habían preparado. Ojalá se preparasen igual para luchar por cosas importantes como la justicia social o la solidaridad.

Un ataque a la Cultura Libertaria con maneras que son propias de fascistas, pero que parecen proliferar. ¿Qué sentido puede tener atacar un lugar presidido por estanterías con libros y espacios de difusión, si no es así?

Un ataque a la Cultura, al mundo de los libros y del pensamiento libertario. Está claro que quienes han llevado el ataque no pueden ser personas ‘asiduas’ de la Fundación… habrían leído, escuchado y discutido, y no se dejarían manipular por esa violencia sin sentido.

Por supuesto, condenamos la acción y sus consecuencias, afortunadamente solo materiales. Y ya volvemos a estar en marcha, arreglándolo todo… ya sabéis, la obra siempre constructiva.

  • Comunicado de prensa del sindicato FAU: delegación de paz retenida en el hotel, acto prohibido

[14 de junio, 10 a.m., Erbil] Todos los integrantes de la delegación de paz al norte de Irak se encuentran detenidos hoy en su hotel para impedir la celebración de un acto y una rueda de prensa frente a la oficina de la misión de la ONU en Erbil, algo a lo que ayer se había comprometido un representante del gobierno de la región.

Aproximadamente 30 peshmergas, armados con fusiles de asalto, custodian a las 60 personas que integran la delegación. Ayer mismo, la delegación se reunió con el ministro de Exteriores del Gobierno de la Región Autónoma del Kurdistán Iraquí (PDK), quien empeñó su palabra en que se permitiría la realización del acto. De momento, parece que la detención no es estricta, pero se han prohibido todos los actos públicos. Otros delegados se encuentran custodiados en este momento.

Wolf Meyer, integrante del secretariado internacional de FAU: “estas actuaciones del gobierno del Kurdistán Iraquí son indignas de unas relaciones internacionales oficiales y recuerdan, no a una democracia, sino a la dictadura que se vive en Turquía. Se nos arresta, deporta y detiene con al apoyo y la complicidad del Gobierno alemán. Exigimos la puesta en libertad inmediata de todas las personas prisioneras, que se respete el derecho a manifestarse y que se honren los acuerdos y la palabra dada. Pedimos a todos los sindicatos de base que alcen su voz con determinación frente a la situación que se vive ahora mismo en Erbil”.

  • [June 14, 10 a.m., Erbil] The entire peace delegation in northern Iraq is being held in its hotel today to prevent a rally and press conference in front of the UN representation in Erbil, which was promised yesterday by a government representative.

About 30 Peshmerga with assault rifles are keeping the 60-strong peace delegation in northern Iraq in their hotel. Only yesterday, the delegation met with the foreign minister of the Autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan Region (PDK) who promised the rally could take place. Currently, the detention seems to be relaxed, but all demonstrations are still banned. Other delegates are currently in custody.

Wolf Meyer, member of the international committee of the FAU: “The current actions of the government of the Iraqi Kurdistan are unworthy of official international relations and are reminiscent not of a civil democracy but of a Turkish dictatorship. We are being arrested, deported, detained – with support and acquiescence of the German government. We demand all prisoners be released, the right to demonstrate and that joint agreements be respected. We ask all trade unions to find clear words for the current situation in Erbil.”

  • Delegation of the FAU in Northern Iraq

On the road against war and for internationalism in action!
The Free Workers Union is currently participating in a large international delegation in the Autonomous Region of Kurdistan (Northern Iraq). The reason for this is the ongoing human rights crimes, military actions and provocations on the part of the Turkish government and the Barzani regime¹, which is close to the Turkish government, as well as the worsening working and living conditions for the workers of the region.

As an internationalist labour union federation, we stand with the workers and peasants all over the world against the Turkish dictatorship, which is covering the whole region of the so-called Middle East with war, destruction of nature and political oppression.

Background

The Turkish regime under dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pursues a policy of annexation and ethnic cleansing². The biggest counterweight against this racist war policy is the communalist movement³. This movement is organized in Turkey, Syria and Iraq and is mainly supported by Kurds, but also Yezidis, Arabs, Turkmens, Assyrians and members of many other communities as a multi-ethnic project.

In Iraq, Turkey is currently attempting to take control of the retreat areas of communalist organizations, as well as border areas with the communalist-administered region of northern and eastern Syria (also known as Rojava). Thus, it regularly carries out bombardments on Iraqi territory against alleged or actual revolutionaries. Furthermore, the Barzani clan and the Turkish state are expanding their military presence in these areas. In recent months, over 40 military bases have been established and thousands of soldiers have been deployed to the region.

With the current attacks and air strikes, Turkey is trying to provoke an intra-Kurdish war between communalists and the Barzani regime, which is economically dependent on Turkey. This tactic aims to weaken Kurdish resistance to Turkey, cut off supply routes to northeastern Syria, and legitimize a Turkish occupation of parts of Iraq.

  • Delegación de FAU en el norte de Irak

¡En marcha contra la guerra y por el internacionalismo en acción!

FAU (Sindicato de Trabajadores y Trabajadoras Libres) participa actualmente en una gran delegación internacional a la Región Autónoma del Kurdistán (Norte de Irak). El motivo de esta es oponerse a las incesantes violaciones de los derechos humanos, las ofensivas militares y las provocaciones por parte del gobierno turco y del régimen de Barzani¹, muy próximo a aquel, así como al deterioro de las condiciones laborales y vitales de las personas trabajadoras en la región.

Como federación sindical internacionalista que es FAU, estaremos siempre junto a trabajadores y trabajadoras, campesinos y campesinas de todo el mundo, contra la dictadura turca, que siembra la guerra, la destrucción del medio ambiente y la opresión política en todo el ámbito de la región denominada Oriente Medio.

Antecedentes

El régimen turco del dictador Recep Tayyip Erdoğan lleva a cabo una política de anexión y limpieza étnica². El mayor obstáculo frente a esta expansión de la guerra racista es el movimiento del confederalismo democrático³. Este se encuentra organizado en Turquía, Siria e Irak y recibe el apoyo, principalmente, de la población kurda, pero también yazidí, árabe, turcomana, asiria y de integrantes de muchas otras comunidades, porque se trata de un proyecto multiétnico.

En Irak, el gobierno turco pretende actualmente hacerse con el control de las zonas en que se refugian las organizaciones del confederalismo democrático, así como de las regiones fronterizas con la parte del norte y el este de Siria en las que está implantado este proyecto (también conocida como Rojava). Por este motivo, bombardea de manera regular el territorio iraquí, para atacar a revolucionarios imaginados o reales. Además, el clan Barzani y el estado turco están ampliando su presencia militar en estas zonas. En los últimos meses, han establecido más de 40 bases militares y han desplegado miles de soldados en la región.

Un ataque a la Cultura, al mundo de los libros y del pensamiento libertario. Está claro que quienes han llevado el ataque no pueden ser personas ‘asiduas’ de la Fundación… habrían leído, escuchado y discutido, y no se dejarían manipular por esa violencia sin sentido.

Por supuesto, condenamos la acción y sus consecuencias, afortunadamente solo materiales. Y ya volvemos a estar en marcha, arreglándolo todo… ya sabéis, la obra siempre constructiva.

Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo.

The ICL brings together a number of anarcho-syndicalist and revolutionary unions from around the world. It is born out of their desire for closer collaboration and to add an international dimension to their local work, which will allow them to coordinate with comrades around the world and make their struggles visible to a global audience.
