RedBlock Italy for antifascist meeting in Ireland

Anti-fascism is more necessary than ever as a daily practice, as we know from
history in times like this where capital through cyclical crises, the
bourgeoisie of the various countries dump it on the masses making life more
miserable and poor on the one hand, on the other one to curb the social
struggles of those who resist this mechanism the reaction progresses, the
'democratic' states  march towards fascism, and at a basic level, the
bourgeoisie also focuses on the use of fascists.

This process takes place before our eyes in many European countries in
particular where the class struggle is more thorough, emblematic case of Greece
where the state uses the reactionary neo-fascist Golden Dawn replacing the use
of conventional forces of repression.

That's why our anti-fascist practice is seen in the wider revolutionary
strategy to counter the plans of the Italian imperialist bourgeoisie,
accumulating forces with the goal of proletarian revolution. As we say since
2001 by the G8 in Genoa the bourgeoisie "march to the modern fascism by means
of the police state," the fascists militants is just the outline, the main
fascism is represented by the bourgeois state that reactionarize itself thanks
to "modern elements" that allow it not to use a new “march on Rome”.
These elements in Italy but also in other imperialist countries are:

The role of the official trade unions, structurally integrate themselves with
power and its weapon to attack the rights of workers and curb their rebellion.

The role of the parties of the "left" bourgeois that from revisionists by now
are also structural of the power of the reactionary state. In Italy the former
DS (already ex PCI) now PD has now introduced the precariousness led
imperialist wars, these are not new things for the reformists, the leap is
ideological and occurs primarily with historical revisionism. A theme dear to
the fascists, that the story of sinkholes, and until the '60s argument used
only by the fascists in the north-east of Italy, is now bipartisan collective
heritage. A party like Communist Refoundation during a congress called on the
main actor in a drama on the sinkholes issue and after the protest of some
delegates, they have been thrown out of the room by the secretary of party
Bertinotti. Following Bertinotti (former trade unionist) will become president
of the Chamber of Deputies, the third highest by the state in Italy. So as we
said even the revisionist parties who refer to communism although formally, are
part of modern fascism.

In our opinion anti-fascism in Italy is only effective in certain areas,
"patchy". This is due to two factors:

First, the absence of a national anti-fascist coordination who had tried to
make about 2 years ago, then foundered because of a narrow-minded and
sectarian.

Secondly, often the practice of some comrades is one-sided and / or partial.
For all that we've been talking, anti-fascism can not be limited neither only
in militant action nor only in cultural action.

We think that the action should have anti-fascism to 360 degrees and be
composed of three parallel components:

First militant aspect, who is the first condition to fight on the field
fascist militants.

Secondly social aspect, working among the masses who are continually
influenced by information and therefore bourgeois reactionary see racial
prejudice, etc.. often the masses by this way think so spontaneously fascist,
it’s necessary offset this by a political work in the popular districts to
reverse these misconceptions and the advance of reactionary ideas among the
people.

Third is the cultural aspect, of historical re-appropriation of anti-fascist
values ​​against historical revisionism.

To give some examples in which these three  anti-fascists aspects have been
applied effectively against the new fascist organization Casapound supported by
the bourgeoisie, in particular by the ruling PDL of which is rib and well
tolerated by the other party of government PD, which include the  episodes of
Naples 2010 and Palermo 2011.

In the first case, an occupation of an abandoned  convent by the fascists was
opposed and rejected both by the militant force and by social intervention in
the district that has sided with the anti-fascists who occupied another
building in the same neighborhood.

In Palermo, however, the city where we operate, as a result of provocation on
the part of the fascist who does not even reach the ten militants but protected
by the State wanted to present a book in the library Mondadori (owned by
Berlusconi) in the city center. A comrades front formed by different policy
areas such as anarchists, communists and, autonomy of social centres took a
deep social and cultural work in the places and areas in which they operate and
taking the square with a sit-in has managed to cancel the event and postpone it
to a month after. During this month, this work has continued in massive forms,
the fascists transform the presentation like a national event and mobilizing
their activists from all over Sicily, Calabria (southern region of Italian
peninsula) and mobilising also a delegation from Rome including their leader.
The militant victory on the field that followed is well documented by a video
on youtube can be explained only with the use of all three components.

Finally we would like to invite all the anti-fascist forces and revolutionary
to participate in the International Conference of Support of People's War in
India, which will be held on November 24 in Hamburg, Germany.
The active participation and support of the Indian revolution at this stage is
very important as the Indian state in a desperate attempt to stifle the
greatest revolution in the course of the world is using methods like genocide
and fascist paramilitary sending 70 thousand (equal to the number occupation
forces in Afghanistan) attacking the people which are integral part of the
People's War with the establishment of concentration camps, the use of
vigilantes armed by multinationals that due to the PW can not settle down in
those areas etc etc, we believe that a revolution of this magnitude is the
highest and most complete form of anti-fascism beyond the subject that guide it
and should be supported by all members of anti-fascist as indeed is already
happening in Germany that have joined forces very different among themselves.
