A Little Man in Singapore

2

Barings is a small commercial bank in London. It made the headlines the world over due to the collapse that resulted from disastrous operations carried out in the Tokyo Stock Exchange by one of its employees, Nick Leeson, their agent in the Singapore branch.
The news would not have attracted much attention had it not been for the amateurish, folkloristic quality of scandal journalism that reports certain economic events, reducing them almost to fiction, in the ambit of the powerful business families, high finance and industry.
But what really happened? The case indicates a speculative mentality that is spreading not only among the small banks, which are used to moving like rogue torpedoes in the increasingly stormy sea of the principles of the international stock exchanges, but also among the giants in the sector. The chance to make enormous profits is affecting not only the individual’s disposition to risk and adventure, but can affect the projects of even the most astute and prudent bankers.

EDITORIAL DEL LLAR Nº 28 SOBRE EL DESALOJO DEL CSA DE XIXÓN (1998)

llar00

A estas alturas , muchos de vosotros ya tendréis noticia del desalojo del Centro Social Anarquista de Xixón por parte de varios aguerridos militantes de CNT de esta ciudad.Vamos a proceder a explicar un poco el tema.
El CSA es un local situado en los bajos del antiguo edificio del sindicato vertical de Xixón. La propiedad del solar es reivindicada por CNT como patrimonio histórico, aunque en el edificio se encuentran también los locales de  CNT, CGT, CSI, CCOO y hasta una oficina del INEM.
El local del CSA fue ocupado por la CNT – Xixón (con ayuda también de mucha gente que confió en ellos y a la que ahora da la espalda) tras el cierre del bar que alli se  encontraba.Tras mucho tiempo con los locales cerrados e inutilizados, CNT- Xixón cedió la gestión de los mismos hace 5 años a la constituida asamblea del CSA, en base a un proyecto que esta misma presentó. Aunque en principio algunos militantes de CNT participaban de la asamblea, con el paso del tiempo se fueron desvinculando de la misma, así como de la gestión del local, al que acudían (las escasas veces que lo  hacían) a fiscalizar las actividades, o se dirigían a el de manera epistolar (por carta).

“Malaka, yo hice negocio allí arriba”. Una entrevista sobre la frontera albano-griega, 1994/1995 (es/fr)

portada-entrevista

El texto es una traduccion del fanzine “Μαλακα, εγώ έκανα μπίζνες εκεί πάνω”. Μια συνέντευξη από τα ελληνοαλβανικά σύνορα, 1994/1995 editado en Grecia, 2012.

El texto que se encuentra en las siguientes páginas es el testimonio oral de un joven que realizó el servicio militar durante el periodo de 1994-1995.

Hemos mantenido el carácter oral de su discurso – casi en su totalidad – con el pensamiento de que transmite de una manera muy directa las condiciones de entrada de los inmigrantes en el país, durante mediados de los 90, el recibimiento con que los aguardaba el estado y los patrones (ya fueran grandes o pequeños), así como el papel que jugó el ejército.

Incluso aunque en algunas partes del fanzine nuestra opinión es de alguna manera diferente de la que se expresa, éste texto continua siendo uno de los escasos documentos (desde los medios) de la política de fronteras del estado griego.

The New Inquisition A Grotesque Frameup Against Anarchists (1994-2004 italy)

fish

/06/2004

What follows is a series of events directly leading up to and during what has come to be known as the ‘Marini trial’. It in no way encompasses all the acts of rebellion or the response of the forces of repression involving anarchists and rebels in Italy during the period covered.

Some events which came to be attributed to anarchists took place in years far preceding 1994. They were then inserted into the ‘theorem’ and phantom organisation, the ‘O.R.A.I.’ so dear to public prosecutor Marini, who took many years and great pains to ensure that the comrades accused would spend centuries behind bars. As this website develops, the whole incredible picture should emerge for comrades to see and draw their own conclusions.

A MILLION JOBS by A.M.Bonanno

fuck-job

 

Whatever can such a promise mean, made as it was at the time of the collective illusions inspired by Berlusconi’s electoral propaganda.
In practical terms, nothing. Not just because it is impossible, but because it goes against economic logic itself.

Let us explain.
For capitalism, work is a commodity, and because it is derived from activity carried out in exchange for a wage, man himself becomes a commodity. So a work market actually exists. Work has a price (wages), and there is a direct relationship between lack of work (unemployment) and the level of market prices.

The Luddites War on Industry: A story of machine smashing and spies

Do Or Die

Part I: The Luddites’ War on Industry

‘Chant no more your old rhymes about bold Robin Hood, His feats I but little admire, I will sing the achievements of General Ludd, Now the Hero of Nottinghamshire’

In fifteen months at the beginning of the second decade of the last century a movement of craft workers and their supporters declared war on the then emerging industrial society.

The movement spread across the Northern counties of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. It smashed thousands of machines, looted markets, burned down factories and spread hope of a way out of the bleak future being offered the majority of the British people. It was a movement that, in the words of the late radical historian E.P. Thompson; “in sheer insurrectionary fury has rarely been more widespread in English History.”

It is important to understand the birth of Industrialism. If we are to successfully dismantle the present system, it is essential to know how — and why — it was constructed.
