In memory of our Comrade Ron Marsden

An irrepressible veteran of international workers struggles over the last 60 years; he was a bridge between the last great wave of class struggle and those to come. Partisan yet non-sectarian, he is widely known and respected throughout the movement. More than this, he was a friend to many. As one of his lifelong friends and fellow comrade remembers: "He was kind and solid.

Dear friends of the Olga Taratuta initiative for solidarity with deserters, refugees, and draft resisters from Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine: Exiled Russian comrades and deserters have informed us that they are organizing a rally this Friday, July 17, at 4:00 PM at Place Saint-Augustin in Paris. The event is in support of Daniil Mukhametov, a young Russian draft resister whom France is preparing to extradite to Lithuania—a country that, in turn, risks expelling him to Russia.

International statement against the NATO summit to be held in Ankara on July 7–8. From Israel’s ongoing genocidal policies against Palestine to the devastation caused by the war in Syria that has been continuing for years, and the escalating regional tensions fueled by U.S. and Israel’s attacks on Iran, West Asia has today turned into a battleground where imperialist competition has intensified.

From Saturday in Durham town, as community and worker organisations assist Pride to continue after the local council tries to pull the plug - it's solidarity with comrades from Organise! on their current days of action! Victory to the working class. Internationalism and emancipation.

Pics from over the weekend. As well as the dramatic local history dimension that interested people, and discussions about the hopeless TUC echelons and the role of the LP etc, back then and now; there was also some talk about the Action Councils. Whether they could have ever developed into becoming revolutionary councils or other bodies and a proto non-state? And whether such a thing maybe eventually on the horizon? Good to see some youngsters along, especially on the Sunday centenary anniversary, as well as those with longer memories.

Some pics from weekend. Some literature given out to comrades / potential comrades and accepted by a few places - Barnsley, Rutland-Sheff, Sage-Gateshead inc putting out on main desk by Cramlington Train Wrecking Remembrance Crew (Derailing of scabbing Flying Scotsman in Pictures with thanks and courtesy of L_Escargot".

As opposed to the electoral bourgeois farce on 7th May, the 1st of May and any ensuing weekend has for nearly a century and a half been a time for working class celebration.  This encompassing organising, actions, catch ups with friends and comrades, community events and remembering the past with a determined optimistic look to the future.  This is particularly the case for us as anarchists.

7th May is the latest D-Day, or so we are told. For then there is another large scale round of that popularity racket, known as election time. This is the time when many of us are supposed to rubber stamp our local overlords or for those living in Scotland and Wales, to stick crosses in boxes at a national level. Either way, as is often the case, offered up is a media sc(r)um fixated on statistics, casting judgement upon a UK level of who is up, who is down and why on earth it’s supposed to make such a ruddy difference?

Source:  Our event, held together with Meetings against War and Peace of the Dominant, on political support for desertion and practical support for deserters from the Russo-Ukrainian front, took place in one of the few remaining occupied spaces that have managed to hold out against the Greek state’s repressive offensive. The turnout was strong and, overall, the event achieved its purpose.

From Tridni Valka - Here we propose our English translation of a text initially published by comrades in Ecuador. Globally we agree with the text, especially we would like to emphasize strong affirmations putting forward: 1/ the proletarian and communist historical party against the conception of (bourgeois) political party; 2/ the correct definition of the militant tasks of revolutionary minorities in the current period of global counterrevolution but with “local” and not yet generalized class confrontations in many parts of the world; 3/ we also appreciate the critics towards activism and spontaneism versus strong programmatical reaffirmation and development… Nevertheless, the text should be more discussed for the issues related to communization, real subsumption, affirmation of the proletariat and transition period…

Source in German: In global capitalism, peace can only be an interwar period limited in space and time. There can be no such thing as “world peace” under capitalism. There are always conflicts somewhere. In times of peace, States prepare for war through military rearmament. And in times of war, military action is taken to secure the conditions for the next peace.

In February 2025, the Antimilitarist Initiative (AMI) launched a public fundraiser for deserters and war refugees. One year after the fundraiser was announced, we are reflecting on its impact and the broader context. To begin with, we want to note that our group consists mainly of people who are not fond of the world of social media, which was perceived from the start as a factor that would contribute to the campaign not being as widely known and fewer donations being collected.

As revelations of vile abuse and close links to those who carry out such abuse, by them with access to the “levers of power” take place on an almost daily basis, many of those commenting as journalists and political broadcasters outwardly display shock, amazement and horror. They do this whilst increasingly sidelining those who were at the receiving end of this vicious predatory behaviour.

Renee Nicole Good's State murder by US Immigration, Customs and Enforcement (ICE), and its slanderous cover up, show what they would really like to do to if they could get away with it. In fact, what they would do in any case if push came to shove. In Minneapolis, the city of the George Floyd's police murder in 2020 during Trumps first presidency, in the resistance to the assault on migrant workers, push has again become shove.

Author - assembly.org.ua The following is from our comradesin Ukraine "Assembly". The title image: many draft dodgers in Ukraine wish this to happen for New Year again and again. So far, the ghost of the Syrian scenario from last December has not materialized, however with the EU plans to allocate 90 billion euros instead of 180, it has become much closer.

A statement in support of Solidarity Collectives and ABC-Belarus has been published on the internet,signed by a number of groups and individuals. are publishing our response, which is not, however, a dialogue with these open and covertsupporters of militarism. We simply want to share our analysis publicly and strengthen the connectionbetween people with an anti-militarist and revolutionary defeatist perspective.
