The most recent election in Greece saw Golden Dawn gain 21 seats in parliament and many of their votes came from the Mat riot police as well as the Delta motorbike police squad. As the economic and social crisis goes on in Greece, different parts of society are both going to the far right as well as the far left, and many now have complete distrust in the old political system.

Il est devenu urgent de lire ou relire l’œuvre d’Antonio Gramsci tant sa pensée critique est actuelle et en capacité d’éclairer les contradictions de notre temps.

Hace tiempo que la sociedad de Gipuzkoa perdió todo respeto por las fuerzas de ocupación, y es que al final van camino de dar lástima.

El movimiento “Ocupemos” ha experimentado un desarrollo estimulante. Hasta donde mi memoria alcanza, no ha habido nunca nada parecido. Si consigue reforzar sus lazos y las asociaciones que se han creado en estos meses a lo largo del oscuro periodo que se avecina –no habrá victoria rápida– podría protagonizar un momento decisivo en la historia de los Estados Unidos.

A América do Sul está cheia de "Poderosos Chefões"

ή όταν ο πάτος είναι 3 πατώματα πιο πάνω
Σε μια κοινωνία που τα αντανακλαστικά της έχουν μπει στη φορμόλη και τα μυαλά έχουν γίνει πουρές, η ξεφτίλα δεν έχει τέλος.

On the 31st May, the Irish people will be asked to vote in a referendum on the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union, commonly known as the Fiscal Compact Treaty. The YES side in the campaign argue that this is necessary in order to maintain stability across the EU, and the NO side argue that this treaty represents an enshrinement and continuation of the austerity we have faced since 2008. However, both sides, either through ignorance, cynicism or malice, portray the limitations of people's agency and power as the ticking of a box on a piece of paper.

Putting aside the neo-liberal talk of 'stability' for a moment, it is interesting to examine the crux of the NO campaign's argument. The ULA refers to it as the 'Austerity Treaty' in most of its literature and Sinn Fein have put out posters bearing the words 'Austerity isn't working; Vote NO'.

The media frenzy may have settled for now over Cardinal Sean Brady’s failure to pass on information about a notorious clerical sex abuser in his midst but we need to make sure we don’t let this extremely wealthy multi-national chiefdom called the Catholic Church off the hook.
