				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>C4SS Feed 44 presents <a href="http://c4ss.org/content/author/ryan-calhoun" target="_blank">Ryan Calhoun</a>&#8216;s “<a href="http://c4ss.org/content/31665" target="_blank">There is No Hope</a>/<a href="http://c4ss.org/content/31995" target="_blank">The Anarchist as Lover</a>” read by <a href="http://c4ss.org/content/author/trevor-hultner" target="_blank">Trevor Hultner</a> and edited by Nick Ford.<br />
Music: Despair and Triumph, Danse Morialta, and Reawakening, by Kevin MacLeod. incompetech.com</p>

<p>&#8220;The war culture is all-enveloping and there is no end. The American resolve against war does not exist beyond an Internet fad, entirely obliterated with effective propaganda and fear-mongering. We are a nation of dunces, suckers, cads, cowards and killers. The world will bear most of the consequences for our idiocy. The people of the Middle East are not so easily led on. They know that war is all there is. They live with drones dotting their skies and murderers posing as peacekeepers occupying their streets. They know there is no hope, no expectation that America will ever do the right thing. Their children will die. Their parents will die. Their homes will be turned to ash and they will only grieve for a moment, because to wish any of it hadn’t happened is to embrace cartoon fantasy.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We hate too often. There is no shortage of things to hate for an anarchist, but we must never allow our hate to become a defining feature of our individual insurrections and revolutionary rhetoric. Hate can help us identify the enemy, but it can never destroy them. Hate will not empty the prisons, it will not burn down the corporate office space, it will not melt down the machinery of the military-industrial complex. If we are filled with hate, we will only accomplish the destruction of our current system for another system of walls. Because what is oppression but hatred for freedom? It is raw fear, terror and misery which ensnare us all in some way. It is the true fuel of military conquest, racism, xenophobia, sexism. Without hate, systems have no way of imposing themselves on us.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>National Public Radio (Npr) ha condotto il suo programma “<a href="http://www.npr.org/2014/09/12/348010219/week-in-politics-obamas-isis-speech-rand-paul" target="_blank">La Settimana Politica</a>” del dodici settembre con un’analisi del <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2014/sep/11/obama-speech-isis-analysis" target="_blank">messaggio alla nazione</a> in cui Obama ha parlato dello Stato Islamico. Giornalisti e mezzibusti hanno discusso i fondamenti del messaggio: È stato abbastanza duro? Riuscirà nel suo compito? Chi c’è dietro <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/parallels/2014/09/12/347711170/isis-isil-or-islamic-state-whats-in-a-name" target="_blank">Isis</a>? Ripensandoci, mi sono accorto che gli Stati Uniti bombardano l’Iraq, in un modo o nell’altro, da quando avevo sei anni. Oggi ne ho trenta. Questa tragica tradizione, lunga ormai un quarto di secolo, è portata avanti dall’attuale comandante in capo e premio nobel per la pace.</p>
<p>Durante tutto questo tempo, il governo degli Stati Uniti hanno portato avanti macchinazioni statuali e massacri nel mondo arabo. Nel suo messaggio, Obama ha detto: “Il nostro obiettivo è chiaro: Schiacciare e poi distruggere Isi[s] con una strategia antiterroristica totale e prolungata.” La prossima guerra con i droni è alle porte, e così anche la morte certa per altri innocenti. Già ora il governo americano in quella regione è responsabile della morte di centinaia di migliaia di persone, di un numero ancora più alto di profughi, e infine della distruzione totale su grande scala. I nuovi attacchi non si limitano all’Iraq. Nonostante <a href="http://fff.org/explore-freedom/article/tgif-the-people-say-no-to-war/" target="_blank">l’opposizione della nazione</a> dell’anno scorso, quando fu preso di mira il regime di Bashar al Assad, le bombe cadranno anche in Siria. Alla fine sono riusciti ad avere la loro maledetta guerra.</p>
<p>Isis rappresenta un regime terribile. Assoggetta e stupra le donne, uccide i bambini e decapita i prigionieri. Ma più interventismo non è la risposta. Questa nuova campagna militare non farà altro che inasprire, non placare, la loro ferocia.</p>
<p>Un <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/07/12/syria-baby-video_n_5580286.html" target="_blank">video</a> drammatico pubblicato su Huffington Post mostra un bambino siriano seppellito vivo sotto un edificio bombardato. La telecamera inquadra un gruppo di soccorritori che scavano freneticamente tra le macerie, tra il ferro contorto, per salvare il bambino. Le grida del bambino superano il chiasso della folla. Alla fine i soccorritori hanno successo e il bambino, terrorizzato, viene estratto vivo da sotto le rovine. Le urla di giubilo della folla significano ad un tempo gioia e dolore.</p>
<p>Gli attacchi con i droni ordinati da Barack Obama ricreeranno questa scena ogni giorno, senza sosta, fino alla fine degli attacchi.</p>
<p>Gli attacchi dei droni sono atti di terrorismo. La campagna contro il terrorismo è essa stessa una campagna di terrore senza fine. Gli Stati Uniti sono in uno stato di guerra permanente: la più grande forza repressiva al mondo. Ogni bomba significa un mondo meno sicuro, meno tranquillo. Per gli Stati Uniti, e ovviamente per chi vive entro i suoi confini, ogni bomba significa più solitudine, più isolamento dal resto del mondo.</p>
<p>Gli attacchi militari producono obiettivi politici nel breve termine, utili solo ai falchi di guerra. Le speranze di pace richiedono una strategia di lungo termine. Dove esiste il mercato esiste pace. Dove esiste pace esiste libertà. Va da sé che più libertà esiste nel mondo e meno oppressivi sono i regimi. Io non voglio l’Isis, non più di quanto non lo vogliano gli altri, ma la risposta non è il massacro di decine di migliaia di persone. Questa è la stessa mentalità imperialista che ha creato un tale regime brutale in primo luogo. Lo stato nazione, con questi massacri, è esso stesso un regime oppressivo, e non merita altro che di essere sconfitto con la libertà.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>National Public Radio (NPR) led <a href="http://www.npr.org/2014/09/12/348010219/week-in-politics-obamas-isis-speech-rand-paul">its &#8220;Week in Politics&#8221; program of September 12</a> off with analysis of US president Barack Obama&#8217;s <a title="Illegal? Irrational? Irrelevant? Obama's Isis address falls down on every front" href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2014/sep/11/obama-speech-isis-analysis">address to the nation</a> on the Islamic State. Various journalists and talking heads discussed the fundamentals of Obama&#8217;s speech &#8212; was it strong enough, will it get the job done, just who is <a title="ISIS, ISIL Or Islamic State: What's In A Name?" href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/parallels/2014/09/12/347711170/isis-isil-or-islamic-state-whats-in-a-name">ISIS </a>anyway? Afterward, I realized the United States has bombed Iraq, in some form or fashion, since I was six years old &#8212; I am a 30-year-old man. This tragic tradition, now a quarter of a century long, continues with the current commander-in-chief who holds a Nobel Peace Prize.</p>
<p>For all this time the United States government has carried on national engineering and acts of mass murder in the Arab territory. In his speech, Obama stated: “Our objective is clear: We will degrade and ultimately destroy ISI[S] through a comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy.” The next great drone war is upon us &#8212; sure to kill even more innocents. The United States government is already responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands in the region, with even more displaced and property destruction on a grand scale to boot. The new strikes are not limited to Iraq either. Bombs will fall on Syria despite a <a title="TGIF: THE PEOPLE SAY NO TO WAR" href="http://fff.org/explore-freedom/article/tgif-the-people-say-no-to-war/">national outcry</a> against the administration this time last year when it targeted the Bashar al-Assad regime. They got their damn war after all.</p>
<p>ISIS is a terrifying regime. The group subjugates and rapes women, kills children and beheads prisoners. But more interventionism is not the answer. This new military campaign will only exacerbate their power, not curtail it.</p>
<p>A heart wrenching <a title="Syrian Baby Pulled From Rubble" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/07/12/syria-baby-video_n_5580286.html">video</a> on Huffington Post shows a Syrian baby entombed in a bombed building.  The camera is focused on a group of rescue workers frantically digging through debris, laden with twisted metal, to rescue the child. The scream of the infant is distinguishable over the noise of the crowd. At the video&#8217;s end the rescue workers are successful and the terrified child is pulled from the rubble alive. The sound of jubilation in the crowd is as joyful as it is agonizing.</p>
<p>The up and coming drone strikes ordered by Barack Obama will recreate this situation every day, day in and day out, for as long as it is sustained.</p>
<p>Drone strikes are acts of terror. The campaign against terrorism is itself a never-ending campaign of terror. The United States is a permanent wartime state &#8212; the world&#8217;s greatest agent of repression. With each bomb, the world becomes less secure and less safe. With each bomb, the United States, and by default those of us living within its borders, become more alone and isolated in the world.</p>
<p>Military strikes meet short-term political goals for the war hawks, but the enhancement of liberty is a long-term strategy. Where there are markets there is peace. Where there is peace there is liberty. The more liberty in the world, by very definition, the less oppressive regimes. I don&#8217;t want ISIS around anymore than anyone else, but the slaughter of tens of thousands is not the answer &#8212; it is the very imperialist mentality that created such a violent regime in the first place. The nation-state, for engaging in such slaughter, is itself an oppressive regime &#8212; it deserves nothing less than to be vanquished in liberty.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The war in Syria is here. It got held up in social media traffic. We thought the angry hashtags had permanently ceased death from above for the Syrian people. For a moment, the Internet rejoiced in its seemingly overwhelming power to harness the American people&#8217;s voice. We were sick of war, sick of decent people being turned into killing machines and amputees. There was no need to go into Syria, no impending doom. Apparently Americans had wised up in the past decade and weren&#8217;t going to accept another bloody quagmire.</p>
<p>Well, so much for that. The war in Iraq, supported by a majority of Americans at its dawn, was not enough to teach Americans. And why would we expect it to be? 50,000 American soldiers and countless millions slaughtered in Vietnam wasn&#8217;t enough. The near extermination of the Japanese, the destruction of most of Germany&#8217;s cities, the piles and piles of bodies and all the wasted potential of a so-called greatest generation wasn&#8217;t enough.</p>
<p>It will never be enough. There is no hope. There is no progress the American government or any state can make away from the inevitability of mass slaughter. The lines at military recruiting booths will continue. Your protesting them will not eliminate them.  Your pleas will not stop your friends from making the decision to kill for what they see as the greatest good. And when your friend comes back a husk of a human being, when the memories of Syrian, Iraqi, Somalian, Yemeni, Pakistani victims haunt him, when he reaches for his legs and finds only air, he will imagine it was all worth it and there will be nurses and psychologists to assure him it was.</p>
<p>The war culture is all-enveloping and there is no end. The American resolve against war does not exist beyond an Internet fad, entirely obliterated with effective propaganda and fear-mongering. We are a nation of dunces, suckers, cads, cowards and killers. The world will bear most of the consequences for our idiocy. The people of the Middle East are not so easily led on. They know that war is all there is. They live with drones dotting their skies and murderers posing as peacekeepers occupying their streets. They know there is no hope, no expectation that America will ever do the right thing. Their children will die. Their parents will die. Their homes will be turned to ash and they will only grieve for a moment, because to wish any of it hadn&#8217;t happened is to embrace cartoon fantasy.</p>
<p>There will always be a threat or the threat of a threat which will sell the American dupocracy into sycophantic worship of the capability of our military to make all right in the world. Americans crave protection, or the illusion of it. In truth there is no protection. 9/11 was not a fluke carried out by mad men. Nothing will save us from those who have every reason for blood thirst. They have nothing but their vengeance to guide them against the monstrous robotic nation which slaughters their countrymen and keeps them bound to a life of poverty and desperation. You will not swat them all away. We are not safe. In fact with the announcement of this newest edition of the War on Brown People, we are less safe than ever.  But who needs true protection when all are assured that the state will continue to cradle them and make it all better?</p>
<p>The Americans are coming, stupider and more sure of themselves than ever. Will we beat our former high score of a million deaths? There is always hope for war. War is easy and resistance is futile. None of it will end until borders end, and good luck with that. Good luck dismantling the military industrial complex. If it crumbles, it will merely be reassembled to guarantee another century of death for the weak. There are no consequences for these campaigns of murder, no voice to condemn the soldiers or protect them from the scavenger recruiters. We&#8217;ll be duped again, and again, and again. The next time a president declares his steadfastness against perpetual war, the next time you hear media outlets praising the anti-war resolve of the American people, do what I do and laugh. Don&#8217;t weep. Your tears accomplish nothing. Enjoy the ride, because there is no exit in sight.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>L’amministrazione Obama ha recentemente annunciato una politica di intervento limitato in Iraq, con l’uso di droni per allontanare la possibilità che Isis conquisti i territori autonomi curdi. Il principale alleato americano è il governo regionale curdo di Massoud Barzani. Gli aiuti americani contro Isis si limitano alle regioni curde in Iraq.</p>
<p>Il principale avversario di Barzani nella conquista della fiducia dei curdi è Abdullah Ocalan, leader del Partito dei Lavoratori Curdi (PKK) attivo in tutti i quattro paesi in cui esistono significative minoranze curde.</p>
<p>Mentre guidava da una prigione turca un PKK originariamente marxista-leninista, Ocalan ebbe modo di studiare le opere dell’anarchico Murray Bookchin, di cui adottò una versione della sua filosofia “municipalista libertaria” (che Ocalan ribattezzò “confederalismo democratico”). La filosofia di Bookchin si impose all’attenzione di Ocalan come parte di un più ampio interesse per il pensiero socialista libertario tra i nazionalisti curdi dopo il crollo dell’Unione Sovietica. Ocalan vide nel confederalismo democratico – influenzato anche dagli sforzi orizzontalisti come quelli dell’esercito di liberazione zapatista messicano – un’alternativa sia al capitalismo clientelare occidentale che all’economia pianificata sovietica.</p>
<p>Il confederalismo democratico divenne la base su cui si sviluppò in Kurdistan il Raggruppamento delle Comunità, un tentativo del PKK di amministrare il territorio curdo. Questo ricalca da vicino il modello delle democrazie dirette federate di Bookchin, che a sua volta si basa sul modello della Comune parigina, dei soviet russi nati dopo la Rivoluzione di Febbraio, e delle entità anarchiche durante la Rivoluzione Spagnola. L’economia è governata da un insieme di auto-governo dei lavoratori e pianificazione partecipativa. Le donne hanno un ruolo di primo piano nelle municipalità e nelle milizie, e hanno combattuto valorosamente – per ragioni comprensibili – contro Isis.</p>
<p>Il PKK è ancora nella lista delle organizzazioni terroristiche per via della sua rivolta violenta contro il governo turco, anche se da un anno mantiene la tregua ed è riuscito a conquistare una significativa autonomia regionale per i curdi nella Turchia orientale. Ad aprile, sotto la tregua, il PKK ha trasferito il grosso delle sue forze combattenti nel Kurdistan iracheno.</p>
<p>Se Obama volesse davvero fermare l’ingresso di Isis nel Kurdistan iracheno farebbe meglio ad aiutare il PKK, soprattutto considerati i rapporti pacifici del partito con la Turchia e l’indipendenza di fatto delle aree curde nella Siria nordorientale. Il PKK e le sue milizie alleate in Siria hanno avuto più successo militarmente contro Isis del Libero Esercito Siriano appoggiato dall’occidente. Il PKK ha difeso le aree Yazidi del Kurdistan iracheno, e ha fatto trasferire i civili a rischio, quando i Peshmerga di Barzani si sono dileguati. Nel Kurdistan siriano, i combattenti PKK turchi hanno impedito la caduta di Kobane, che sta lungo le linee di comunicazione tra le aree dominate da Isis in Siria e Iraq. Ocalan e il PKK, a differenza di Barzani, sono molto popolari in tutto il Kurdistan, non solo nella parte irachena.</p>
<p>Ma è improbabile che Obama lo voglia. Peggio di una vittoria di Isis, dal punto di vista americano, sarebbe solo la dimostrazione della validità di un’alternativa sia al capitalismo corporativo che al socialismo di stato, un’alternativa basata sul decentramento, la democrazia diretta e l’autogestione.</p>
<p>Il Kurdistan ha molto in comune con la Corea postbellica. Nel vuoto di potere lasciato dalla ritirata dei giapponesi dalla penisola coreana, scrive (“<a href="http://aaeblog.com/2008/05/25/anarchocide-in-south-korea/" target="_blank">Mass Graves</a>”, ripubblicato su Austro-Athenian Empire il 25 maggio 2008) il compagno di C4SS William Gillis, “accadde qualcosa di sorprendente. Gli anarchici coreani, che da tempo appoggiavano la resistenza, uscirono dall’oscurità e formarono a livello nazionale una federazione di villaggi e consigli di lavoratori per sovrintendere un massiccio programma di riforma agraria.” Al nord, le forze di occupazione sovietiche soffocarono subito tutto, liquidando il progetto anarchico e installando al potere il regime dei Kim. Le forze americane arrivarono molto più tardi, dando alla Corea del Sud un momento di pace e libertà. Quando arrivarono, però, i comandanti militari americani scoprirono di “non avere una procedura valida per trattare con le federazioni regionali e le comuni anarchiche.” Così restituirono le terre all’aristocrazia spossessata, e aiutarono i possidenti terrieri a instaurare un governo militare. Con l’inizio della guerra di Corea, l’assassinio di anarchici e altri di sinistra, già in corso ad opera del regime militare, divenne frenetico. Almeno 100.000 sospetti anarchici, socialisti e comunisti o simpatizzanti finirono nelle fosse comuni.</p>
<p>Lo stato americano preferirebbe che Isis non vincesse. Ma come nel caso dei proprietari della fattoria ne La Fattoria degli Animali di Orwell, gli uomini hanno in comune con i maiali un interesse sopra tutti: non vogliono che gli “animali”, le persone qualunque, si governino da soli.</p>
