February 15: An Anarchist Call for Global Action against Capitalism and War\r\n\r\n<\/p>
The ongoing war between the United States, the United Kingdom and Iraq is\r\nonly one component of a global struggle between the rich and powerful and\r\nthe billions who are oppressed for their benefit. Blair and Bush, like bin\r\nLaden and Hussein, use the politics of international war as a diversion\r\nfrom their wars against the poor, the excluded, and the Earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n<\/p>
From the West Bank to the West Side, and from the rainforests of Colombia\r\nto the farmlands of Great Britain, the ruling class maneuvers to extract\r\nthe maximum profits from the Earth and its people. International war is\r\none more tactic in this class war, for the acquisition of natural\r\nresources, the elimination of surplus populations, and the consolidation\r\nof patriotic unity between the oppressors and the oppressed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On February 15, 2003, millions around the globe will march in opposition\r\nto the escalation of this war. We call on all who seek a world free of the\r\noppression of authoritarianism, capitalism, ethnic hatred and religious\r\nfundamentalism to participate in this unprecedented mobilization, through\r\nconvergences in Amsterdam, Antwerp, Aotearoa, Athens, Bangkok, Barcelona,\r\nBelfast, Berlin, Berne, Brussels, Budapest, Cairo, Cape Town, Copenhagen,\r\nDublin, Edmonton, Glasgow, Helsinki, Istanbul, Jakarta, Johannesburg,\r\nLondon, Lisbon, Madrid, Manila, Montreal, New York, Oslo, Paris, Prague,\r\nRamallah, Rome, San Francisco, San Juan, Sao Paulo, Skopje, Stockholm,\r\nSydney, Tallinn, Tokyo, Toronto, Vienna, Warsaw, and anywhere else, and to\r\nescalate this component of the struggle against the ruling class through\r\ndirect action, including strikes, sabotage, sickouts, occupations, civil\r\ndisobedience, and the mass reclamation of public space. Let's make our\r\nresistance to war visible in as many ways as possible!<\/p>\r\n\r\n
From London and New York to Cairo and Ramallah, our resistance will be as\r\nglobal as their oppression. On February 15, to the streets! And to the\r\nbarricades!<\/p>\r\n\r\n
No war between states! No peace between classes!<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
