From 1962 to 2000, the Israeli far left was embodied by Matzpen, a newspaper and an organization that left a strong mark on the Israeli peace and pro-Palestinian movements. Reading Israeli newspapers headlines from between 1968 and 1971 (there were more than a dozen at that time), it might seem that Israel had three main parties: the Labour Party, Gahal (the future Likud) and... the Israeli Socialist Organization, better known as Matzpen ("The Compass"), the name of its monthly journal. As subscribers to the "Argus de la presse" press monitor, every week we received dozens of clippings from various newspapers. Matzpen was a name known to all and, as the voice of the enemy within, was accused in the media and on the streets (though not the police, well-informed as they were) of all possible crimes imaginable, from the attack on the oil refineries in Haifa to ...

8 March: International Day of Working Women -- Year after year the 8 March - International Day of Working Women - is responsible for a small commercial boom in shops selling clothes, makeup, flowers and all those other products aimed at us women; it often happens too that on this day, State and private institutions provide some sort of treat or reward for certain women, as if this act could lead to an improvement in the working and cultural conditions that both exploit and oppress women in Huancayo, in Peru, or throughout the world. This leads us to ask whether 8 March has been reduced to a 24-hours opportunity for shouting "Happy Women's Day!" to the four winds... --- Certainly not, but we must remember the struggle that some textile workers launched on 8 March 1857, when they demanded the right to work and more dignified conditions; the same way that in the year 1908, the ...

Un nouvel épisode de répression du mouvement social, heureusement, semble-t-il, sans conséquences durables pour les militants concernés, témoigne des réactions allergiques du gouvernement chaviste aux expressions des revendications sociales. Le 12 mars 2010, des membres de différents syndicats, soutenus par quelques militants politiques avaient prévu de manifester à Maracay, la capitale de l'État d'Aragua, à une centaine de kilomètres à l'ouest de Caracas. Ils entendaient protester contre la politique économique du gouvernement, mais aussi contre la criminalisation de la protestation sociale et l'impunité dont jouissent les instigateurs d'assassinats de combattants sociaux, de dirigeants ouvriers ou paysans ...

On March 15, protest actions took place at Green Way restaurants in Wroclaw, Warsaw, Olsztyn and Lodz. At the Wroclaw restaurant, the local Food Not Bombs collective joined ZSP and, with the slogan "Free Work, Free Food", the activists gave out free food at the entrance to the blocked restaurant. The idea was that, since the restaurant does not want to pay workers, why not go one step further - and not charge people for eating? ---- At the Wroclaw action, former employees cheated by the restaurant took part and when the boss came out to complain about the free food, demanded their salaries. ---- By all accounts, the free food was much better than the frozen fast food crap at the vegetarian McDonalds. The owner of the restaurant called the police but open arriving, they went into the restaurant and then went away, refusing to do anything about the action. ...
