Short comments on Mike Davis’ “Old Gods and New Enigmas - Notes on Revolutionary Agency”
Submitted by AngryWorkersWorld on Mar 10 2019 16:34
We decided to read and discuss Mike’s text because the question he is asking is a pertinent one: ‘who can become a social force of revolution?’ By looking at what constituted revolutionary agency during the peak-time of working class radicalism between 1870 and 1920, we can perhaps better assess our chances in the present.

The Yellow Vests’ protests cause traffic jams in west-London warehouses
Submitted by AngryWorkersWorld on Dec 3 2018 20:05
A friend of ours works in a small warehouse in west-London that organises shipments between the UK and the British Virgin Islands. Recently conveyor parts deliveries were delayed by road blockades in France, organised by people who protest against the diesel tax increase. But not only that, they were also delayed by the cumbersome sub-contractor system within the logistics chain. The chains are weak, let’s lose them! Here is his story...

Submitted by AngryWorkersWorld on Nov 19 2018 14:58
We wrote this text last year, as a reading suggestion for our debate on current class struggle in the US. We thought it might still be of interest. It focusses on the 'internal dynamics' rather than US foreign (military) policy...

Southall Waterside Stinks! – Local working class resistance against soil and air pollution
Submitted by AngryWorkersWorld on Nov 6 2018 17:53
In the media workers are usually portrayed as people who don’t care about ‘the environment’ – we see mining workers defending mining jobs or car workers demonstrating to keep car plants open. We forget that working class people tend to have much less of a choice to ‘act environmentally friendly’ – we lack the financial means to buy electric cars, organic food or hemp-based underwear - and there often is not much of a choice when it comes to jobs and working class communities that have formed around them.
West-London Solidarity Network - Steps towards a local proletarian association - An update
Submitted by AngryWorkersWorld on Oct 22 2018 10:53
Self-defence against bosses, migration police, racist scumbags and other enemies of the working-class doesn’t fall from the sky. Weekly drop-ins and individual support are first necessary steps - and they can be laborious. If you live in London and want to get involved in our west-London solidarity network or want to set up your own network, please get in touch.
