In September 2020, the City Council of Dalmine, Italy, voted in favor of a motion that, citing the horrors of the Soviet Union’s Gulags and famine, equates Nazi-fascism to Communism, and so requiring one to declare oneself anti-communist in order to use public spaces. This is an insult to the memory of the many Dalminesi Partisans. But not only that:

Many left-wing activists have looked in amazement and admiration at the rapid rise of the international climate movement Extinction Rebellion (XR) in recent years. It organises itself in a basic democratic manner, occasionally blocks the centres of large cities and still gets a lot of people on board. Not all movements succeed in doing this! But is XR really as

Fransa, [31 Ekim-1 Kasım] hafta sonu boyunca aşırı sağcı Bozkurtların (Grey Wolves) Ermenilere yönelik şiddetiyle sarsılmış görünüyor. Faşistler, Azerbaycan’ın Dağlık Karabağ’daki Ermeni yerleşim bölgesine yönelik saldırısından yararlanarak çeşitli Fransız şehirlerinde sokaklara çıkıp Ermenilere karşı nefret ve öfkelerini gösterdiler. 1915 Ermeni Soykırımı’nı hatırlatan/anan çeşitli anıtlar Türk faşistleri tarafından saldırıya uğradı ve üzerlerine sprey boyayla “1915 ❤️ Erdoğan” gibi ırkçı metinler yazıldı.

“We started to think about the strike, because of wages, sick pay. This time teachers and people working in the university started to support us, security, cleaners, everybody knew about this situation. This was very important, it wasn’t only 7 people supporting the strike then. I remember I started to cry from surprise because the union encouraged students, teachers and

To the Mayor and Aldermen, As Rotterdammers, we stand in solidarity with national and local organizations fighting for a radical overhaul of how the Netherlands educates, takes responsibility, and makes reparations for its colonial past and present. With this letter we want to point out that Delfshaven400/Pilgrim Harbour festival is a pro-colonial celebration, subsidised by the gemeente Rotterdam and their
