The G8 and G20 summits wrapped up in Huntsville and Toronto over the weekend, amidst big spending promises from the leaders and the arrests of over 600 protesters.

Face à tant de mensonge et de brutalité, la violence des militants radicaux a minimalement le mérite de s'en prendre aux riches et aux puissants et non aux classes les plus pauvres de nos sociétés.

Theology of liberation understands itself as an historical and contextual theology, an alternative to European theology which is an imperialist theology for Latin American peoples. Liberation theology emphasizes liberation from structurally anchored sins like oppression and impunity as primary, not the forgiveness of individual sins.

[...] Many of the 900 arrested have thankfully been released without charges; many others will have charges that will eventually likely get withdrawn or easily be defeated. From my conversations with women inside, it became more and more apparent how ridiculous the arrests and charges were. Damning evidence for “possession of a dangerous weapon” or “intent to commit mischief” includes being found with bandanas, black tshirts, anarchist literature, vinegar, eye solution, water bottles, or goggles, while simply speaking French landed many with the charge of “conspiracy to join a criminal organization” (presumably CLAC). Charges were constantly being changed, added, or dropped.

[...] Many long-time community organizers, including several people of colour, from Ontario and Quebec continue to face ongoing incarceration on similarly serious charges, with little chance of bail for possibly another few weeks. These clearly politically-motivated arrests, with flimsy evidence, are intended to criminalize and silence particular activists who are committed, effective, and unapologetic in their daily defiance of state and corporate exploitation.

Exprimer une identité, ça passe par mettre ses limites.

Dans toute lutte ouvrière, la mise en place de tels comités de mobilisation est un des éléments importants qui peut empêcher le sabotage syndical. Dans le contexte actuel de crise économique, seule une riposte massive internationale des prolétaires pourra faire reculer non seulement l’État québécois mais tous les États.

Voici un court récapitulatif, non exhaustif, des plans d’austérité annoncés récemment, notamment en Europe :
