Hands off the premises of the CNT-AIT Madrid! and Statement of the Local Federation of CNT-AIT Madrid

Premises belong to those who use and maintain them. The capitalist concept of property as an instrument of speculation is anathema to our philosophy. The Local Federation of the CNT-AIT Madrid* is facing eviction from its historic premises – premises which its unions purchased, which it paid for and maintained. The Spanish union of CIT has used a sneaky manouevre to present itself as the owner of the premises by registering a ghost union to convince the courts that it is actually the owner – a fraud which the State is apparently eager to turn a blind eye to in its attempt to weaken the anarcho-syndicalist CNT-AIT, in favor of a more compliant alternative. Like many of the premises that were acquired by CNT-AIT unions, the work and cost of getting them was carried out by the local unions. These were not purchased by the national organization and, in the case of the premises in Tirso de Molina, the Local Federation of Madrid only later received a loan. From the CNT-AIT. This is important because it comprised the largest part of the CNT-AIT for years, thus, the money used was also money which largely came from their own dues. Not from an outside source, not from an organization called CNT-CIT.

WSA Press Releases, 1989 - 1992

The aim of the Press Releases were to provide a source for domestic and global news on certain strikes, class struggle prisoners, domestic and international solidarity and fundraising campaigns. As well as reports on WSA national conferences and IWA events. Our audiences were both North American and global. The Press Releases were produced by a New York-New Jersey WSA . Copies were postal mailed to, on average, 50 plus individuals, newspapers and IWA Sections and appeared in the internal WSA Discussion Bulletin. This was produced in the era before the internet. Over the years many of these Press Releases were republished in the global IWA, anarcho-syndicalist, libertarian and workers press.

Marx was not a “statist”

There is a very common assumption, propagated all over the political spectrum, both by Marxists and anti-Marxists, that for Marx, socialism is about state control, or at the very least presupposes state control. So here’s a common narrative you see online. First, you have capitalism – markets, the state, classes, and all that. Then, socialism emerges when workers take power – under socialism, you still have the state and classes, but with the working class being in power. Finally, once the bourgeoisie have been defeated, classes, money, and the state finally disappear, we have communism. This is an extremely common, but it is not Marx’s narrative. See CCK Philosophy video from which this script is used.
