In 1934 from the 5th of october to the 19th the asturian workers made a revolution and proclaimed the Workers' and Peasants Republic of Asturias and in some areas libertarian communism was proclaimed. The Spanish Republican Army with Franco at the head brutally repressed the revolution. The Revolutionary Committee led by Belarmino Tomás surrendered after running out of bullets and trying to stop the army from advacing with dinamite, the revolution failed long before in the rest of the country, and the revolutionary leader decided to make a pact. However, the army ignored it and looted the whole miners' basin, raped women and executed workers, this act gave general López Ochoa the name of 'The butcher of Asturias'.

The initial success of this revolution was due to left unity, represented by the pact of the "Workers' Alliance", signed by CNT and PSOE in the region. Also, the repression was the rehearsal for the Spanish Civil War which started just 2 years after.
Nevertheless, this revolution has been buried by the sands of time and it is poorly known and recognized among the left. So, I ask for the memory of one of the least known revolutions, which deserves much more recognition of what it is usually given.

VICTORY TO THE WORKING CLASS! VICTORY TO THE WORKERS ALLIANCE! PUXA ASTURIES!

Milo Yianopoulos is coming to my town in Australia on a speaking tour
We're working on ideas how to fck with him. Essentially, we see his visit here as an opportunity for the Australian far right to find fresh footing and we want to sabotage that as much as possible.
We think he's coming here because Oz offers him a way out of the obscurity he's finding himself in the US.
There's a lot of ideas being thrown around here, but if any of you have anything useful, please PM me, every contribution helps.

Libertarian Australia, Kassimo, and Maupof

your options are to increase his notability or encourage his irrelevance.
my serious suggestion is to find the flight he's on and call in a bomb treat, then do the same to his hotel, then the venue, every spot on his Australian itinerary.....or better yet, find out and actually bomb the car he is traveling from hotel to venue.

a gang of you can dress like skins, then a few minutes into his speech take off your disguises a start an 80s style gay disco.

gate crash the auditorium, run around screaming and shower it with polystyrene beads and vegemite.

see if there's a local biker club who might want to help out, bikers scare the sh.t out of fascists.

are there "red guards" in oz?

what about simply organising a bloc and having a riot?

is shutting down the power an option? or setting off the sprinklers? fireworks? smoke grenades? real grenades?

why not liberate some farm animals and let them loose in the venue? better yet, feral dogs.

rig the venue with an anthrax hoax.

if you can shut down the meeting using some kind of mix of humour and violence you'd get the best response from the public, if you can make them laugh you'll gain their trust, then they'll respect your violence instead of fear it and the fascists will look foolish in the eyes of those they seek entrall.

Welcome back Autonomous Mapsuetia :)

If I remember correctly you are greek? What do you think of the Anarchist Political Organisation? (http://apo.squathost.com/)

I came across an article by them the other day and thought it was a good summary of current conditions in Europe and the world:

we've had another embassy request Terran Blood
I'll put up a poll, I'll be voting no, again.

18 - 10 - 77 , Stammheim Prison, Stuttgart, West Germany.
Early in the morning the surviving leaders of the Rote Armee Fraktion, Gudrun Ensslin and Andreas Baader, along with member Jan-Carl Raspe were found dead in their cells. A forth RAF member, Irmgard Moller was found with stab wounds to her chest but survived what she would later claim weren't suicides but extra-judicial killings by the German state. A state terrified of what it believed was a socialist revolution brewing in western europe.
Let's not allow the memory of the RAF, RZ, and PFLP be tarnished by the capitalists' lies.

From the events of 1968 to those a decade later in 1977, the bosses of europe shook with fear and unleased their dogs on the people.
This wasn't the end of their troubles as we rose again in 84 and again in 94, beginning the ferment afresh.
Once again we had a chance, 2011, Occupy, but this time there were no barricades, no resistance, no riots. The jack-boots marched in and occupied Occupy. All those slogans, those candle-light vigils, those theatrical protests, those good intentions and nice ideas, all gone to waste. They haven't made a lasting difference. Once politicised people revert to apathy soon after the excitement and hysteria have also dissolved.
Next time a chance comes around let's not mimic the failures of others and passively sit by complaining and pointing out what is wrong with the world. Let's build the barricades, sack the bosses, ignore the cops, learn to say no and prepare to get shot at. We don't need "safe spaces" we need "free spaces". We don't need another Occupy, we need another Paris Commune. We should be shouting "NO PASARAN", not "no parking"

cheers.
you can do whatever you like with it, even pass it off as your own, i don't mind. Just lights on a screen to my mind.
having read over it i could improve a couple of sentences, change a couple of words, make it more bombastic if you like

Oh, a Greek. And an anarchist? How original :p

Welcome back, σύντροφε!

Kassimo wrote:If I remember correctly you are greek? What do you think of the Anarchist Political Organisation? (http://apo.squathost.com/)

I have heard APO before, although I don't usually hear anything about them. They seem to be somewhat active in antifascist demonstrations and such.

another embassy request, from MUTO this time, I've put up a poll

Maupof wrote:another embassy request, from MUTO this time, I've put up a poll

I'll abstain. They don't seem particularly bad, they actually remind me of the AAA, but Marxist. They're just really small.

my thoughts exactly, when i first looked into MUTO i asked myself were they The people's front of Judea or The Judean peoples' front?
The question I ask about regions like this is.... what do they bring to dinner?
This particular region doesn't look like it offers anything different to other marxist regions,.....and we already have north korea and cpns if you want a chat with a marxist.

and really from a communist perspective if they aren't offering alternatives then they should be working to strengthen an existing organisation rather than dividing themselves into bite-size pieces, that's what a good obedient communist would do

Reminder! One week left to contribute material to the next issue of Cry of Rebellion. Let me know if you need a little more time.

Maupof wrote:another embassy request, from MUTO this time, I've put up a poll

Ew, they maintain embassies with the Union of Nationalists. Against.

We are not really active enough as a region to properly organise for Z-day, but for those who are participating we should agree on a few things before the dead rise once again.

All agreed on choosing the option to research a cure? Should we lock down the borders? Should we (temporarily) eject nations spreading the hordes? Should we follow a strategy?

The eurasian front

Why bother? It's not like these embassies achieve anything.
