Laura Agustín, lifelong migrant and and author of Sex at the Margins: Migration, Labour Markets and the Rescue Industry,
explores the concept of migrancy, exposes the prejudices in what is
meant by the term and proposes another vision, in which less advantaged
people are granted ordinary human autonomy.

The day after the January 26 protests by Aboriginal people and supporters gave the media the sensationalist images of Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Liberal leader Tony Abbott fleeing under police protection, the Herald Sun's Mark Knight captured the image with a truly hilarious cartoon. |

The official account portrays Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott as being attacked by violent Aboriginal demonstrators today in Canberra. Present at the demonstrations was John Passant — who paints a rather different picture of events. |

During clashes between workers and police
outside an Indian ceramics factory, local police murder a union leader.
The workers retaliate by murdering a senior company executive, and
burning down several company premises.

There is a commonly held assumption that the police are a necessary presence in a civilised society, one that ensures the preservation of social order. And yet this assumption is deeply ideological, blurring the distinction between the act of policing with the existence of an institutional police force. http://politeire.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/the-police-the-case-against/ |

A pamphlet put out by the Twin Cities IWW branch for the purpose of promoting the development of workplace organisers, based on their experiences of organising at work. It offers the sort of practical advice we could all be implementing in our own workplaces. |

If your union breaks labour law in Australia, your union is 'de-certified'. As long as unions are committed to being 'in business', this 'de-certification threat will be an effective block to workers' power in controlling wages and working conditions. Radical subjectivity is the basis of any effective movement towards more freedom and that's what 'progressive' means for the working class: progressing out of wage-slavery toward more freedom. Playing by the rules set up by the ruling class through their polytricksters only ensures a handcuffed working class forced in to class collaboration. Fascists taught the democratic bourgeoisie how to deal with the class struggle--make it illegal. |
