Sooo what proton will do now if some fascist law ask proton to jail people, or worst ? Please stop to say they have no choice. They choose to make a public organization, and say it is safe. It’s not. Being public, host data for people and activists, and respect imperialist law is not possible. This was a bad solution from the beginning.
You could say that they say so in their legal term. Nobody read them, and everybody still think proton is top notch on safety. We couldn’t warn every activists that this just marketing. Their is no collective with enough people to be heard.
Maybe you think that Proton leaders try their best. That not the point. The point is that people are being repressed, and that being critical could diminish their numbers in the futur.
Proton AG do not depend of the European Union. It’s a Switzerland company, that snitched ecelogist activist to french intelligence. Swiss is very conservative, with a lot of disdain for foreign workforce. I don’t see any contradiction.
Which on I don’t see how social revolution could not turn wrong without a being run directly by the workers. So I would recommend self-managed unions, such as those taking part in the International Confederation of Labor (ICL).
Their is other international organization of unions, but their are more a coordination than an international (for example Labor Solidarity. I would like to give other options, but as far as I know, they do not exist anymore.
unionize in an antifascist and international organization ?
Yep, the uniform seems to be a thing. However, the experience of social struggle is a thing too In France, after the police making their job (using gaz and punching people in struggle), firefighters fight back. This append several time, and have impact on public opinion (and main media bougeoisie)

Time for real hardware

1·1 month agoTo be true, it need to be consistent against discrimination that divide the working class (such as racism, patriarchy and imperialism). So one who imply in class struggle, shall not be class first However I honestly didn’t get how this kind of position could be right wing. There is consistent left position in both atheism and religious. Moreover, both religion and political atheism are trusted by far right.
In France, the left government of the “Front Populaire” was forced by the unions to pass social laws that was not on their program, including 40h works per week, the 8h/day and the first paid holidays. The struggle of this unionize include general strike, demonstration and riot, and was sometimes repressed by the State.
The 40h weeks where already done in Italy (until the rise of the fascism), thanks to the red week. Following the death of 3 people during a demonstration against war and colonization, an expropriator general strike was made in nothern Italy by local unions. Those strike do not stop every production, but focus on the needs of the workers. For example, foods was still collectid and dispatch, including by trains, but without trade; Malatesta try to warm workers to not accept the bourgeoisie gift, but to achieve the socialization of the society. Central unions accept, and betray the revolution. That may explain why the Operaism came from Italy. And why we -anarcho syndicalist- do not trust unions with hierarchy
There is some other exemple, of cours in Spain with the CNT (20 millions people living in aracho syndicalist situation), in Ukraine with the joining force of mutualized farmers and industrial unions, and the IWW
Unionize fellllloooooooows
That does not magically appears in Europe, but the victories thanks to strong unionism and revolutionary unionism. The same that was directly attacked by the US government in the 1920’s
There is no or a very small impact of regulation on the number of exiled people coming in country. However, making more people illegal let bosses exploit them more. Those workers could not sue their boss because of those regulations, and most conservative unions rely unfortunately too much on legal solutions.
So if a country couldn’t limit immigrations, it could exploit more people and bybass human right with regulations against exiled people.
Yes, this is only positive for far-right bosses, and awful for others. But guess who decide in a capitalist economy ?
A Trade Union Sex Work section in activity in Strasbourg
In France, the CNT-F interprofessional union of Bas-Rhin (STP 67) has been in its ranks for several years, several sex workers grouped in an union section, but without field activity. It has changed since March 2024! Noting that the struggles for the rights of the Sew Workers are still as necessary in France in 2024 as 50 years ago (with the sex workers movement of Lyon in 1975, which is a reference to this day), we decided to re-act our union section through our union and from now on, actively struggle on the ground, in the anarcho-syndical and revolutionary spirit of the CNT-F.
Our section has been very active since this launch:
To begin with, we have written and printed a leaflet that presents all the things we fight against, and why we organize ourselves in a union to lead our struggles. Then we created accounts on the so-called social networks, where we publish regularly, highlighting the slogan “No Prohibitionism nor Abolitionism nor Regulationism – trade unionism! " On March 8, 2024, we participated in the cross-sectional feminist demonstration organized in Strasbourg by autonomous feminist collectives, where we spoke by emphasizing that “there is no feminism without the whores”, and displayed the main demands of the Sex Workers: “The complete decriminalization of sex work!”, “Common law for the workers of sex!”, “Full residence and work rights for migrant Sex Workers!”, “Abolitionism is a violence against women”. On May 1, 2024 we took part in the post-demo press table of our union in Molodoi (a punk self-managed place) and all day to the public who was passing through it, which produced a lot of interesting contacts and exchanges, including with sex worker colleagues.
On 21 May 2024, the independent local press (Rue89 Strasbourg) dedicated us an article-maintenance in solidarity and very noticed: https://www.rue89strasbourg.com/work-du-sexe-section-syndicale-strasbourg-301399
During the preparation of our meeting on June 2, 2024, one of us remembered a piece of the group from Nancy “Carmen Colère heard” in concert, a song called “Daughter of” and which supports the Sex Workers. We asked the band if this piece was online somewhere and if we could use it to create a video “teaser” for June 2. The band was delighted with our request, on purpose recorded the piece, which was not published, for us, and allowed us to use it in teaser video. We are delighted with all the active solidarity, and very warmly thanked the group. And so on June 1 and 2, 2024, we organized militant events on the occasion of the International Day of the Struggles of Sex Workers (day commemorating the movement of the Sex Workers of Lyon, begun by the occupation of the Church of St-Nizier on June 2, 1975): a screening-debate on this subject on June 1 and a public gathering on June 2. It was the first time that a public activist event of tds took place in Strasbourg on that crucial date, we were 30 people there. This gathering was well received by the public, and to our surprise even the local mainstream press interviewed us there and published a benevolent article. On June 4, 2024 we were in an internationalist approach, supporting our Germans Sex Worker colleagues in their struggle against the introduction of the penalization of their clients (penalization in force in France since 2016, with the disastrous effects we know). Upstream, two of us participated in a video interview on this subject carried out by a German social work organization that is active on the ground with our td colleagues in Germany and also in Strasbourg, cross-border. This video was projected and debated in Freiburg on June 4 with the participation of one of us. We have good militant contacts in Germany, although they are not unionists at the moment. In short, our union section is well active and publicly visible. But we are also working very hard: since mid-June we have launched an internal working group to the union on sex work, in which non-Sex Worker comrades are also involved to contribute their know-how, e.g. legal and technical. Because sex work is a much more complex subject than it looks, e.g., with the quite recent rise of virtual tds on the Internet that asks a lot of questions about the order of labour law and also of the technical field (disguised salariat, cybersecurity, right to image…). Group we are fully involved in. And of course we regularly tell and show to our colleagues in Strasbourg how a Sex Worker, self-managed and struggle union could be supporting for them. In summary, we are very happy to be finally launched on the ground, and we invite our sex workers to organize themselves as we do. We will gladly share the tools we have created, contact us.

People are self hosting their emails for themselves, their collective, or their relatives. This a solution to avoid regulations, and keep a low profile. Their is others solutions (such as, not using email, or encrypt email by yourself). You could keep saying that everybody should using VPN (which don’t remove the issue, but move it elsewhere) or we could be less idealist and see what people are actually doing, and why.
