Bob Marley & the Wailers – Real Situation

https://youtu.be/1R3h79vi5Fo

Wanted to post this for some time. @brainwavelost@nerdpol.ch's quest for #reality got me doing it at last. Now that I'm posting this I'm realising that I still have #hope that someone can stop this war in #Ukraine before it becomes a #worldwar.

Also @ghyslain who liked the former version of this post before I deleted it.

The “conflict”, i.e. the armed invasion, started in southern #Ukraine when the Russian #army occupied #Crimea in February 2014. The Russian-inspired separatist #uprising in the east started later, in about a month.
It was clear to us from the beginning that Russia could not do any good in Ukraine. By 2014, a reactionary authoritarian regime had already been established in #Russia that denied all individual and social rights and brutally persecuted and destroyed all independent activity. Of course, we still have many questions about the Ukrainian state and the ruling class in Ukraine. But at least the anarchist movement, the socialist movement in Ukraine was able to operate relatively freely for some years. It suffices to say that throughout the existence of the independent Ukrainian state, there has not been a single political anarchist prisoner here. At the same time, many dozens of our comrades in Russia ended up in Russian prisons – guilty solely for their anarchist convictions. So, we were well aware of what #Putin did for libertarian ideas.
The #RKAS reaction was therefore irreversible: it was necessary to resist the Russian attack by all means.

Iran exploding!

The death of the young woman after she was caught by the Sharia police has sparked a massive backlash across the country, specially in the Kurdish regions of the country.

Women shave their head and share the video of it on Telegram or TikTok and many men have done the same thing in solidarity with women who shave their heads.

There are many videos of women burning their head scarf and walking among demonstrators without a head cover.

The disastrous economical situation in the country as well as horrible handling of the COVID in the country has pushed people to a point that one spark was enough to push them over the edge.

‘Consequences will be dire’: #Chile’s #water #crisis is reaching breaking point

source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/01/chiles-water-crisis-megadrought-reaching-breaking-point

“Water has become a national #security issue – it’s that serious,” said Pablo García-Chevesich, a Chilean #hydrologist working at the University of Arizona. “It’s the biggest problem facing the country economically, socially and environmentally. If we don’t solve this, then water will be the cause of the next #uprising.”

This is not a #Maidan, although many political analysts are trying to present it this way. Where did such amazing #self-organization come from? This is the experience and tradition of the workers. Strikes have been shaking the #Mangistau region since 2008, and the strike movement began back in the 2000s. Even without any input from the #Communist Party or other leftist groups, there were constant demands to nationalize the oil companies. The workers simply saw with their own eyes what privatization and foreign capitalist takeover was leading to. In the course of these earlier demonstrations, they gained enormous experience in struggle and #solidarity. The very life in the wilderness made people stick together. It was against this background that the working class and the rest of the population came together. The protests of the workers in #Zhanoazen and #Aktau then set the tone for other regions of the country. Yurts and tents, which protesters began to put up in the main squares of the cities, were not at all taken from the “Euromaidan” experience: they stood in the Mangastau Region during the local strikes last year. The population itself brought water and food for the protesters.
In Kazakhstan today there is no legal #opposition, the entire political field has been cleared. The Communist Party of #Kazakhstan was the last to be liquidated in 2015. Only 7 pro-governmental parties remained. But there are plenty of #NGOs working in the country, which actively cooperate with the authorities in promoting a pro-Western agenda. Their favorite topics: the famine of the 1930s, the rehabilitation of participants of the Basmachi movement and collaborators of World War II, and so on. NGOs also work on the development of nationalist movement, which in Kazakhstan is completely pro-government. Nationalists hold rallies against #China and #Russia which are sanctioned by the authorities.

There is a real popular #uprising in #Kazakhstan now, and from the very beginning the protests were of a social and class nature, since the doubling of the cost of liquefied gas on the stock exchange was only the last drop in the overflowing cup of patience. After all, the performances began just the same in #Zhanaozen on the initiative of oil workers, which became a kind of political headquarters of the entire #protest movement.
And the dynamics of this movement is indicative, since it began as a social protest, then it began to expand, and labor collectives used rallies to put up their demands for a 100% increase in wages, cancellation of optimization results, improvement of working conditions and freedom of trade #union activity. As a result, on January 3, the entire Mangystau region was engulfed in a general #strike, which spread to the neighboring #Atyrau region.
