‘Ruptures’ – Spring 2009 special edition

Anonyme, Jeudi, Juillet 30, 2009 - 12:10

Union communiste libertaire (UCL)

In May 2009 a new organisation in Canada’s Francophone Quebec, Union of Comunist Liberals (UCL), published a special edition of their ‘Ruptures’ journal on the internet. Here you can read an English translation of the (original French) editorial:

INTRODUCTION

As you may already know, more than a year now NEFAC’s organisational members in Quebec have embarked on a project to found a new liberal comunist organisation, with great results so far: in November 2008 more than fifty comrades from seven different cities took part in the founding assembly of UCL: Union Communiste Libertaire (Union of Comunist Liberals).

The organisation’s constitution with our principles and aims has already been adopted. In this and other founding documents our organisation’s anarchocomunist and platformist ideological roots are evident. UCL’s constitution also touches the—inseparable from politics—delicate subject of the importance of maintaining a liberal ethic in one’s private life every single day.

In the assembly meeting a long discussion was concluded with important reflections raging from a critical evaluation of our common history to questions on the revolutionary praxis.

The comrades of UCL’s first general assembly took the decision to openly publish some of these documents containing our reflections and thoughts. We hope that these will enable a more insightful understanding on our positions and the nature of our approach.

We wish that you will read our ‘Ruptures’ special edition with enthusiasm, as it comes after two full years of of relative inactivity in the publications arena. We do work on a more disciplined publications programme, though.

In this issue you can read the following articles, if you have a command of French of course (no need to say that any translations are sought after with great delight!):

* Reflections on platformism: http://www.anarkismo.net/article/13899

Humbly, I think the translation should be "a new libertarian comunist organisation" and the Union of Comunist Libertarians (or Libertarian Comunists).

For example, we say "libertarian socialism" rather than liberal socialism.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
