#OTD in 1887 – Birth of trade unionist and revolutionary, Winifred Carney, in Bangor, Co Down.

Close to the entrance of Milltown Cemetery is a limestone monument which marks the grave of a remarkable woman – Maria Winifred Carney. Winnie was born in Bangor, Co Down, but moved to the Falls Road in Belfast at an early age. She was born into a fairly comfortable family, and was one of seven children. Her mother and father Alfred and Sarah, were estranged, therefore, Sarah, was left to rear…

After years of Greek, Roman and Byzantine histories, both in Podcast and Books, I took a step forward in time to Mike Duncan’s Revolutions podcast.

After 6 months of listening to the English, American, French, Spanish ReConquista of South America, Haitian and Mexican Revolutions, I have popped out bleary eyed and squinting into the 20th century’s 1920s.

I still have the Russian Revolution to go (and a few odd Cold War books) but I find myself missing the Ancient World.

Lenin was right, the more practically involved you get in organizing the more you need theory—-because just like everyone else, the day to day, the details you need to deal with, they give you tunnel vision

[butchfaith]

sorry lol but i don't see how you can see an article about a woman being arrested at a protest and blame this on "the british being servile" rather than on the brutality of our police and ruling class, who are doing this in response to their subjects... not being servile enough?

#we don't have as obvious a history of struggle as some other countries do but the struggle IS there it IS happening especially now #i know it's funny to act like the british working class just rolls over and accepts our own oppression but that does a HUGE disservice #to the generations upon generations of activists and trade unionists who've fought AND WON in this shithole country #to claim that we've never fought back is ruling class propaganda and all it does is make everyone here feel helpless

If your ideal society is one without coercive enforcement mechanisms, it will be one without coercive enforcement mechanisms. Thus, arguing for those states comes with implicit claims about the type of life that humans will pursue in absence of such mechanisms.

Fascism, or authoritarian flavors of communism, or bare-bones liberalism, or an increasing number of 'libertarians' can just say "Many people might dislike our system, but My Side will be strong enough to beat them into submission, so who cares". That's not a shining endorsement of their desirability, but at least it stands on its own, it showcases that if a maoist system happens it'll be able to stay maoist for a good amount of time, and if you think maoism is good then that's a point in your favor.

But a right-anarchist who wants utterly free markets and a left-anarchist who wants egalitarian communes and an anarcho-syndicalist and a christian anarchist and an anprim all reject a centralized authority that can enforce its will upon society; they just differ in their belief about the human response to that lack of enforcement!

If these people weren't making implicit claims about human nature, you'd expect a lot more missing moods: "Society would be optimal if it were ungoverned and left to the market, but sadly people will instead prefer to cluster in tight-knit communities that eschew modern tech" is not a common opinion, even though different people will support either half!

So anyway, every time I see an ancom and an ancap argue, I can't help but wonder... is there a real, resolvable disagreement about politics going on here? Or do these people want the exact same enforcement mechanisms gone, and simply disagree about whether private property or democratic governments will survive that social change?

(I'm worried that 'getting rid of anything that lets the powerful enforce their will' is an overly reductionist view of anarchist revolutions, but 'we win the revolution and then everyone destroys their electronics' is still a claim about human nature in the absence of coercion, right? Anything that you view as an innate part of your victory must either be enforced on the unwilling or willingly accepted by most)

#not 100% sure about all this but it's a thing i've been wondering about #politics #anarchism #'X would be the best type of society' and 'X will occur and be stable in the absence of coercion' are two different claims #btw the quote unquote libertarians i'm referencing are those going 'oh we'll obvs need the state to stop gay propaganda and trade unionists #like grats pal you're just supporting a specific type of paleoconservatism

#OTD in 1967 – Helena Molony, republican and trade unionist, dies in Dublin.

‘I was a young girl dreaming about Ireland when I saw and heard Maud Gonne speaking by the Custom House in Dublin one August evening in 1903… She electrified me and filled me with some of her own spirit.’ –Helena Molony Helena Molony was a prominent Irish republican, feminist and labour activist. She fought in the 1916 Easter Rising and later became the second woman president of the Irish Trade…

Why it matters that XR’s “Big One” has trade union support

“Paris in May 1968, London in June 1985, Germany between 2008-11. At each of these moments in history, trade unions have lent their support to issue-based protests and tipped the dial of change. From women’s and LGBT+ rights to ending student fees, all benefited from the shared momentum. Could this weekend now see similar energy injected into the push for climate justice? ...

“Among the demonstrators will be members of the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS), one of the UK’s largest trade unions. In some ways, this should be no surprise. The Paris Agreement enshrined people and workers as central to the new energy future through a reference to the ‘creation of decent work and quality jobs’.

“Since then, trade unions have become increasingly active in supporting the idea of a just transition for their members, from involvement in Scotland’s Just Transition Commission, to the Yorkshire and Humber Trade Union Congress’s support for the region’s Climate Commission. At the same time, the Extinction Rebellion Trade Unionist group has been encouraging XR members to join trade union picket lines and strikers across the country.

“Yet the official presence of PCS at this weekend’s event (as well as the Equity Union and the climate caucuses of the National Education Union and Unite), also marks a new level of trade union engagement with climate activism, and its political weight shouldn’t be underestimated.

“‘Throughout the 20th century and onwards, getting unions involved is like a gold star,’ Lucy Robinson, professor of collaborative history at Sussex University, told Spotlight. ‘There’s an anxiety around identity politics and issues-based movements being seen as fringe, so having unions behind you is important.’”

Mr Selfridge (2013–2016) S2E2

Harry is confronted by a delegation of trade unionists led by Arnold Huxton demanding better workers' rights. Union membership is forbidden at the store as the staff have their own council for debates but Ed and Dave, who work in the loading bay with Gordon, are interested and arrange to attend a talk given by Huxton. Gordon overhears and sneaks into the meeting but when the Selfridge staff learns how comparatively well-served they are, the unionists are angry and a fight ensues. Rose, seeing Henri at the club, follows him home to where he is living in poverty though he declines her offer of his old job back. Harry is annoyed that she made the offer behind his back. To repay the staff for their loyalty he arranges a tango party at Delphine's, inviting Lady Mae, though her obnoxious husband also tags along and is angry when Harry refuses to discuss business with him. Despite the threat of war, which particularly unnerves Grove, the party is a success, Kitty dazzling Frank, though Agnes, of whom Thackeray is still jealous, tells Victor they have no future. The Loxley's crumbling marriage is tested when Mae learns that her husband has leased out their country estate. She counters by mocking him over the fact that Harry rebuffed his request to discuss business so he hits her, knocking her to the floor.

Saturday 6th of April, a great clamour echoes down Princes Street. A mixture of music and furious chants and sirens interrupts the usual hum of tourists and traffic. By the gardens, a quiet metal pen is surrounded on both sides...

On one side, a large, noisy, dance party rages.  Queers, straight folk, trade unionists and allies mostly blotting out the hate speeches. Occasionally, an off-tempo chant booms out of the sound system, but mostly it’s playing queer classics.  Powerful women from the STUC black workers, disabled & LGBT committees gather and speak about real feminism, muffled somewhat by the noise. A message of support from Belfast rings out over the PA. On the other side of the transphobic bloc, antifascists and unaffiliated queer activists rage against the barrier. Chants of ‘No borders, no nations, trans liberation’ and ‘trans rights, women’s rights, one struggle, one fight’ blast out of megaphones...

A good reportback on the counterprotest against Posie Parker and her hate mob in Edinburgh last Saturday
