"War on the Palaces! Peace to the Cottages!"

Statement of the Kharkiv Autonomous Workers Union members about creation of social and cultural centre.

Submitted by S2W on June 27, 2014

Revolutionary greeting to all solidarity comrades of the world!

We are the workers of Ukraine and active members of the most massive and radical protests of the last decades continuing development of autonomous class movement.

The anti-governmental uprising that begun last autumn outgrown into destructible massacre for the working class. Naturally, upper classes of Russia and Ukraine easily imposed values of patriotism and inter-ethnic hatred to the working masses.

At the same time, while social inequality maintaining the experience of successful struggle against governmental and political system gives good chances to change the occurring social jolts into the real revolutionary growth.

Realizing complexity of the situation we are making the choice in favour of strong and consistent struggle for constructing anarchistic (classless, self-governing) communism society.

In times when life of millions workers is getting worse because of chaos of war, we call up to follow by our own anarchist way of worker’s solidarity and mutual aid of all depressed groups.

Aid for the workers of Crimea and East Ukraine, who got into position of refugees and migrants because of political repressions and battle actions which captured many cities and residential areas, could be the first step in this direction.

In desire of helping to the refugees from Crimea and East Ukraine we’re – the members of Kharkiv AWU (Autonomous Workers’ Union), anarchists and anti-fascists of Ukraine made the action of expropriation of abandoned municipal placement. This placement will be redone into the social and cultural centre for living, working and leisure of workers who suffered from consequences of inter-ethnic war and other forms of social oppression.

Collectives of Kharkiv AWU and social and cultural centre of Kharkiv.

War on the Palaces! Peace to the Cottages!

I doubt these middleclass students and anarcho-hipsters have any of the necessary manual skills to insert window glasses before this building will turn into a freezer in a few months without gas supply from Russia (see video). But maybe they can heat with tires as they have learned at EUromajdan..

As opposed to you, a working class hero that could teach them a thing or two. What a constructive criticism of people that decide to take action during difficult times. Well done *clap clap clap*.

I have no "constructive criticism" for liberal "anarchists" like AWU who supported the Kiev regime.

On the contrary. Constructive criticism is exactly what they deserve. Not uncritical support and not sneering condemnation.
