The Revolutionary Internationalist League on Workers Power
The Revolutionary Internationalist League On Workers Power RIL on Workers Power in 1995 “This position has got the LRCI leadership into a series of hopeless tangles and convoluted arguments, as their positions have zigzagged in response to the shifting circumstances of the Bosnian war. One general feature has become steadily more pronounced however, the adaptation to the feeling among sections of liberal western opinion that ‘our' governments must ’do something' – a sentiment that plays directly into the hands of imperialism. So now we have the ludicrous position of the LRCI trying to sound revolutionary, and calling for the UN and NATO out of the Balkans and condemning the bombing, while at the same time demanding that 'our' government sends arms to the Bosnian forces and opens the borders to (Islamic) ‘volunteers‘ going to fight with them. In other words Workers Power does not want the imperialists to fight in the Balkans; they just want them to get their clients and proxies to do the fighting! No wonder that this reactionary nonsense has blown the LRCI apart and exposed it as an unprincipled bloc.” That is exactly what they did/do in Libya and Syria today! This document could be published by us but it would need a long introduction to clarify the differences on the questions of the Anti Imperialist United Front and Special Oppression. But is has very valuable insights on the politics of Workers Power and the RCIT today. This documant was written by Nick De Marco, now a rich Barrister who has abandonded all revolutionary politics. He defends rich FA clubs against players compensation claims and is/was a director of Queens Park Rangers. -

Anti-Fascist Action Radical Resistance Or Rent-A-Mob? Mark Hayes and Paul Aylward
soundings issue 14 Spring 2000 Anti-Fascist Action Radical resistance or rent-a-mob? Mark Hayes and Paul Aylward Mark Hayes and Paul Aylward analyse the nature of Anti-Fascist Action. There appears to be a general consensus amongst political commentators that there is a re-emerging fascist threat in contemporary Europe. As Roger Eatwell has noted, waves of extreme and radical right-wing activity have been washing up over European shores during the half-century since the total military defeat of Fascism. Yet, until recently, the long-term electoral prospects of such parties have appeared minimal ... but as the new millennium beckons, the latest western European wave appears to be the most threatening one for fifty years.1 The re-emergence of the fascist spectre has been graphically reflected in the political prominence of Le Pen's Front National in France, and in the success of Jorg Haider and the Freedom Party in Austria. Moreover, with unemployment 1. R. Eatwell, 'The Dynamics of Right-Wing Electoral Breakthrough', Patterns of Prejudice, Vol 32 No 3, July 1998,p3. 53 Soundings in Europe standing at over 30 million, and economic crisis threatening to undermine political stability across the region, there is growing concern that fascist ideas will once again begin to resonate. As Chantal Mouffe has pointed out, the resurgence of the extreme right should be seen in the context of a 'bland homogenised political world', where 'the left' has, in essence, capitulated to neo-liberal hegemony, and where ideological convergence allows the more extreme populist parties on the right to portray themselves as the 'radical' alternative to the dominant consensus'.2 With the left out-manoeuvred in ideological terms, and in the absence of genuine political choice, it is not difficult to envisage widespread disaffection in society, and this might well provide practical political opportunities for the far right. -

Moreover, the development of social movements other than the working class after the 1960s further sidelined traditional parties. The anti-capitalist movements in the 1970s and 1980s were looking for new political formations. -

Militant Antifascism: an Alternative (Historical) Reading
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Teesside University Research Militant Antifascism: An Alternative (Historical) Reading Nigel Copsey Abstract This article offers an alternative historical reading of militant antifascism and argues that application of the “gang” designation is overly reductionist. Whilst there is a historical connection between “gangs” and militant antifascism, and militant antifascists do engage in “gang” behaviors, a “gang” designation pays no attention to the multiplicities of militant antifascism; its transnational evolution and character; and above all, the ideological motivations of the antifascists themselves. Keywords Antifascism; Antifa; Militant antifascists; Anti-Fascist Action; Anti-Racist Action First let me confess that I am not a social scientist, let alone a criminologist. My alternative reading is one of a historian of antifascism, based in the United Kingdom.1 From my perspective antifascism, even its militant form, is far too variegated and ideologically-driven a phenomenon to collapse under a common definition and understanding of “gangs”. This social science 1 My primary works on antifascism are Nigel Copsey, Anti-Fascism in Britain 2nd edit. Abingdon: Routledge, 2017; and Nigel Copsey and Andrzej Olechnowicz (eds.) Varieties of Anti-Fascism: Britain in the Inter-War Period. Basingstoke: Palgrave-Macmillan, 2010. designation strikes me as excessively reductionist. I think we can all agree: Antifa has roots in radical, ideological analysis. Let us not lose sight of the fact that antifa are first and foremost militant antifascists; ideological analysis is central to understanding the reasons why antifa do what they do. When they study antifa, social scientists should embrace methodological empathy. -
Trends in Anti-Fascist and Anarchist Recruitment and Mobilization
Trends in Anti-Fascist and Anarchist Recruitment and Mobilization Dr. Ariel Kocha1 aMember, The Middle East Networks Analysis Desk, Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies, Tel Aviv University Abstract Article History For many, the discourse on anarchists' violence belongs to the past, to an era that Received Aug 1, 2017 shocked the world but ended a long time ago. However, this assumption is not accurate Accepted Feb 16, 2018 in the twentieth-first century. It ignores the reality that allows extremists to rise from Published: Mar 30, 2018 the dust, gain popularity and use available tools to promote themselves and their ideas, and thus, to pose a new potential threat. While most of the research on radicalization and political violent extremism focuses on jihadism or the contemporary right-wing extremism, it is important not to ignore the reaction that right-wing extremists created and provoked in the past, which is still relevant in our days: left-wing extremism, which is embodied today in violent anarchists and anti-fascists. This article sheds light on the contemporary left-wing extremism and violent mobilization in Europe and North America, its reflections on the Internet and in music, and its violent activity at home against "fascist" representatives (such as right-wing extremist groups and individuals), and even abroad, against other "fascist" representatives, such as the Islamic State organization. The purpose of the article is to examine this under- researched phenomenon while focusing on popular and recent modes of mobilization and recruitment of this "new revolutionary left", which reflect a threat that is developing in Europe, North America and the Middle East – but not from the jihadi or right-wing aspects, but from anti-fascist and anarchists' militancy aspect. -
Charge of the New Red Brigade - the Independent on Red Action
Charge of the New Red Brigade - The Independent on Red Action Article from The Independent on Sunday about socialist group Red Action, anti-fascism, the IRA and the bombings of Harrods and a Network Southeast train in 1993. By Matt Seaton, The Independent on Sunday, January 1995 By global standards, 20th Century Britain has been remarkably free from political violence. Red Action hope to change all that. Angry, ruthless and close to the IRA, they preach socialism through terror. One morning in January, two years ago, a couple of cheerful-looking middle-aged men were strolling up Knightsbridge together. One was balding and wearing a light mac, the other, in a dark suit and carrying a briefcase, maybe needed a haircut but otherwise was smart enough. They looked for all the world like a pair of salesmen sharing a joke on their way to work. It was a little after 9am and the day was mild but overcast. As they passed Harrods, the taller one in the suit reached into the left-hand pocket of his jacket, pulled out a small package and dropped it into a metal litterbin. It could have been a fast-food carton, the remains of a break- fast grabbed on the hoof. They were smiling again; another joke, perhaps, as they went on their way. Just over half an hour later, at 9.40am, the litterbin exploded. The package contained approximately 1lb of Semtex. "There was glass everywhere and great lumps of metal sprayed across the roadway," one witness said. The police, who - along with the Samaritans "” had received a telephone warning from the IRA at 9.l4am, were still clearing the area outside and searching inside the store when the device exploded. -
