Jeg vet ikke hva alle andre mener, men jeg synes Norsk Syndikalistisk Forbund – Internasjonale Arbeider-Assosiasjon (NSF-IAA) er en veldig viktig og bra organisasjon. De bygger videre på anarkosyndikalistiske tradisjoner i Norge som går helt tilbake til 1916. NSF-IAA står for en kampvillig, medlemsstyrt og frigjŸrende arbeiderbevegelse som utfordrer både byråkrati, partipolitikk og kapitalmakt.

Byråkratiet, partipolitikken og de tradisjonelle fagforeningene er ikke bygd for kamp. De fungerer som serviceorganisasjoner underlagt staten og kapitalen, og undergraver dermed arbeiderklassens egen kampvilje.
Kampen for reell frigjŸring og selvstyre må derfor drives av arbeiderne selv gjennom direkte, solidariske aksjoner uten bindinger til politiske partier og formelle fredsplikter. Bare en fri og selvstyrt fagbevegelse kan utfordre de Ÿkonomiske elitene og skape et ekte arbeidsfol…

The NSF has been a section of the International Workers’ Association (IWA-AIT) since 1922, maintaining its place within the international anarcho-syndicalist movement.

Anarcho-syndicalism is the belief that workers, as the fundamental producers of social value, must seize control of the means of production through direct action and autonomous organization. It rejects both capitalist private ownership and state-controlled systems, arguing instead for a decentralized federation of worker-managed industries. From my perspective, anarcho-syndicalism is not merely an economic strategy but a revolutionary theory of social transformation, one that places the work…

Jeg har fulgt Norsk Syndikalistisk Forbund en stund, og det fŸles som å stå på skuldrene til en lang kamp for ekte arbeiderkontroll og selvorganisering.

"After Saturday’s protest, the chair of the Metropolitan police federation said officers policing protests in London were “emotionally and physically exhausted”.
"Paula Dodds said: “Enough is enough. Our concentration should be on keeping people safe at a time when the country is on heightened alert from a terrorist attack. And instead officers are being drawn in to facilitate these relentless protests.”"
Well that's the government's fault for having completely unnecessarily created this conflict and brought the law into disrepute!
No wonder the police are "emotionally exhausted", when they have to keep on arresting peaceful old people like their grandparents, and being mocked for it! Not what any of them probably imagined their job was gonna be!
But this to me is the worst bit of news in that article:
"The planned new power follows protest-related measures in the crime and policing bill going through parliament, which bans the possession of face coverings ... at protests"
Planning to ban masks, in the time of covid. Denial or what.
I wonder if they've done an "impact assessment" for that bit of the law, because it certainly would disproportionately affect people disabled with Long Covid & similar things.
