The Commoner journal
Archive of the online autonomist marxist journal The Commoner. Founded by Massimo de Angelis in 2001.
In the beginning there is the doing, the social flow of human interaction and creativity, and the doing is imprisoned by the deed, and the deed wants to dominate the doing and life, and the doing is turned into work, and people into things. In this crazy world revolts are practices of hope.
This journal is about living in a world in which the doing is separated from the deed, in which this separation extends in to an ever increasing number of life spheres, and a world in which revolts against this separation are ubiquitous.

An interview with a piquetera - "If the aggression is globalised then the resistance needs to be globalised."

Graciela and Neka talked about the Piquetero movement. which has seen unemployed workers taking control of over 200 factories and organising a direct democracy through neighbourhood assemblies. The movement has also organised road blockades in resistance to the neo-liberal reforms which are leaving many Argentinians unemployed, The tour was organised by the Argentina Autonomist Project (AAP), an group which seeks to educate people around the world about the struggles in Argentina.
