There is an ever-growing stream of media commentary on the Grenfell fire, increasing daily as the public enquiry unfolds. There are some elements in the media with the goal of obscuring or excusing the plain facts as part of a pre-emptive defence manoeuvre to protect those most implicated in what caused the fire and the 72 deaths. That they feel the need to use such distortions to defend the Grenfell landlords and those who ordered and oversaw the Grenfell refurbishment that fitted the lethal cladding only increases the suggestion of a general doubt on all sides about their innocence.

Nous avons interviewé Xuân Rayne, un anarchiste vietnamien et un travailleur du sexe non binaire basé aux États-Unis, pour connaître leurs points de vue sur l'intersection de leurs identités, les voies de la solidarité internationale entre les travailleurs du sexe et la façon dont les travailleurs en général peuvent se tenir aux côtés des travailleurs du sexe. Xuân utilise tous les pronoms.

At Heathrow, once we’ve decided what we want, what actions shall we take to get it? And what can our method of action tell us about what we want? Some recent events might give us some hints.

Hiện nay, khi giới học thuật phương Tây đã giải ảo cái gọi là “tiến trình hòa bình” đến từ Israel và sự ảo tưởng từ hiệp ước hòa bình Oslo, chúng tôi nhận thấy vẫn có một niềm tin cố hữu cho rằng Tổ chức giải phóng Palestine (PLO) đã từ chối những cuộc thương nghị hòa bình đến từ Oslo. Palestine bị biến thành một kẻ thích gây hấn, cực đoan và không chịu nhượng bộ. Điều nguy hại hơn là nhiều kẻ tô vẽ Israel thành người nhân từ, làm mọi cách để được hưởng hòa bình nhưng đều bị phía đại diện Palestine từ chối.

Western leftists, communists, and anarchists alike routinely call for “unity” with the authoritarian oppressors in their favourite “socialist” states. They value a cheap, doom to end in failure unity with the statists, the genocide deniers, the red fascists, more than the well-being and liberation of marginalised groups.

We are certain that humanity is capable of recovering from the many evils that afflict it today, but only through a radical change in the world’s economic and social order.
