Young workers and students in Bratislava have formed the "Revolucny Kolektiv 9. Novembra" to coordinate actions that will coincide with the 9-13 Nov. WTO ministerial in Qatar.
So far, we have concentrated on public education and outreach. A video projection is organized for November 8th in a well known Bratislava club (on a nice site along the Danube). We will show Indymedia films from Seattle/N30, Praha/S26, and the Genoa G-8 summit and distribute information about the WTO, transnational corporations, and global capitalism. This event will also serve as a spokescouncil for local affinity groups planning actions on the 9-13.
We have also produced and distributed posters on the topics of corporate media manipulation, neo-liberal economics, and the WTO ministerial in Qatar. The posters call for (and indeed, promise) decentralized, autonomously organized direct actions on the occasion of the ministerial. There are plans for actions across Slovakia, organized mainly through the Czecho-Slovak Anarchist Federation (CSAF).
Though based in Bratislava, the Kolektiv has received invaluable cooperation and support from comrades in Czechia, Seattle, Norway, and across Slovakia. We are, in fact, along with our equivalents and friends around the world, building a strong movement to avert ecological apocalypse and transcend capitalism.
With maximum solidarity,
Revolucny Kolektiv 9 Novembra
Bratislava, Slovakia
