First off I want to agree with some earlier posts: Anway, I'm involved with the International anti-fascist defence fund. We raise money to support antifascists around the world with things like legal fees, hospital bills, fines, et cetera that they incur because of their involvement in antifascist activity. We've just released our quarterly report today: quote:Although things were (happily!) a bit slower this quarter compared to this past summer, The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund was still kept quite busy. Since the beginning of September, the Fund has provided support to nine anti-fascists and anti-racists in five different countries at a cost of nearly $2000U.S. Of course, we blogged about each case so you can read up on all of them. So, if you can't or don't want to join up with your local antifa, you can also support international antifascist action by donating some money every month or just once. Every little bit helps.

MizPiz posted:There any links or contact info for if you want to form an antifa branch? I'm pretty sure there's a group where I live, but from I can tell there doesn't seem to be many in the US. Any specific area? There are lots of antifa groups throughout the US, I can take a look for you if you want. We've gotten a lot of questions like yours recently, here's a post we made about how to get in contact or start your own branch: http://antifainternational.tumblr.com/post/138607486119/looking-to-join-your-local-antifa

Asehujiko posted:100 days out from the election, Dutch labour party has announced that they're not purging any of the leadership that sold the entire party out to the neoliberals and are trying their hardest to worm their way out of having to say "we won't sell out the entire party to the neoliberals again". Your characterisations of these parties are really strange, and it looks for you anti-science means "Isn't actively promoting nuclear energy", or something? I agree though that we have no real leftist parties to vote for here. I'm a member of the socialist party only because theyre the farthest left party we have at the moment, and the real problem we have is a non-socialist leadership that's trying to court xenophobes. edit: Stinky_Pete posted:So Yeah, the SP actually does and has a widely publicised and pretty successful drive to renationalise healthcare in the Netherlands, which makes me think Asehujiko needs to read party programs instead of going by his gutfeeling of what the Dutch parties want. ekuNNN fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Dec 6, 2016 |

Asehujiko posted:I went to the D66 congress yesterday, hinted about coalitioning towards the left if/when they get in the parliament, which other attendees that me and my friend spoke to seemed to universally react positively to but attendance went from 300 people last time to 1500 this year so the chances of this sentiment reaching the upper management is not that great but the idea is there and the next (local) event is in two weeks where there'll be talk about creating a local level party to join next year's municipal elections with in my home town that I'll be doing the same at. Nice Btw, there's a counter-demonstration against PEGIDA in Utrecht next week, if you're in the neighbourhood: https://www.facebook.com/events/1792249741026308/

Tuxedo Catfish posted:So, practical question: who are the most active antifa / general leftist groups in Pittsburgh, and is there any central place on social media or elsewhere I can go to hear about events and such before they happen? Might be worthwhile to go to your local radical bookshop: https://thebigideapgh.wordpress.com/ and see if they have any flyers/contacts. Also some other groups in that area (on the far-left side of things mostly): https://www.facebook.com/gdclocal5/ https://www.facebook.com/PGHRedneckRevolt/ https://www.facebook.com/centralpaantifa/ http://studentsolidaritypgh.tumblr.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Pittsburgh-Anarchists-1088852954469904/

Falstaff posted:Yeah, I dunno why anyone would treat that election as a victory for anybody even vaguely left-of-centre, much less any actual leftists. I think its mainly because of Americans being used to their two-party system so "the fascists didn't become the largest party" automatically translates to "they lost", even though it was a win for the fascists as they gained seats. They only didn't become the biggest because the right-wing liberal party basically moved to the political position the fascists were, last election.

Ryguy005 posted:So I got an internship at my local democratic party for the summer and I was wondering if there were any books people would recommend? Like on canvassing or working with people. I already picked up rules for radicals and Coup d'État. I was wondering if there were any more recommendations?

MikeCrotch posted:America is more hosed than most because unlike most countries there is no party that is traditionally socialist or came from labour. The Democrats made a temporary alliance with organised labour and dumped it at the first opportunity, because it's always been at its heart a corporatist party. Actually, almost every single (European) Labour party has embraced neoliberalism and betrayed their working class roots. I was at the G20 protests and German anarchists have really impressive organisation. There's a good short article on that here: http://blackrosefed.org/g20_hamburg_protests/ ekuNNN fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Jul 14, 2017 |

Bel Shazar posted:So all of this has finally been enough to get me off of my rear end, so I am pursuing information and training on how to act as a street medic for protests in and around the Austin / San Antonio corridor. I haven't been able to locate any organized groups yet but I'm sure they are around (or at least I hope some are). Does anyone on the thread have any suggestions in central Texas? Black Lives Matter Austin: https://www.facebook.com/BlackLivesMatterAustin/ Antifa Austin: https://www.facebook.com/SmashFascismAustin/ Redneck Revolt has two branches in Texas: https://www.redneckrevolt.org/contact Food Not Bombs Austin would be a good way to get in contact with anarchist groups: https://www.facebook.com/AustinFoodNotBombs/ Red Guards Austin if you don't mind Maoists: https://www.facebook.com/redguardsaustin/ Redneck Revolt specifically will probably have street medic training events.
