We share this video of an action of the league of poor peasants (LCP) Brazil. The LCP blocked a road in Januária, northern Minas Gerais when the national education strike took place last august, and also had several banners with them, amongst others for comrade Cleomar.

For the last one and a half year, tenants and activists in Austin fought against the luxury project known as “Domain on Riverside” that aims to tear down one of the last proletarian neighborhoods in central Austin in favor of erecting condos and luxury shopping malls for Austin's notorious tech crowd. Recently comrades from Incendiary have compiled a comprehensive and impressive list of actions that took place against this project including manifestations, pickets, blockades, scuffles and several other sophisticated actions, such as attacks on the company pushing forward the project and key figures in the process of making this project reality.

Today, hundreds of thousands of people worldwide took part in protests against imperialism-induced climate change. In the FRG alone, thebourgeois press speaks of 1.4 million participants in various demos, including 100,000 in Berlin, 70,000 in Hamburg and 40,000 in Munich (the organizers call each case even higher numbers).  Worldwide, protests took place in more than 5,000 locations in 156 countries.

The Turkish comrades of the May Collective, sympathizers of the revolutionary struggle in Turkey, have produced an amazing feature length documentary on one of the historically very important militants of the TKP/ML: Orhan Bakır. Being an Armenian, raised in an orphanage, he committed himself to fight for the interests of the oppressed and hence joined the TKP/ML. In the 70s and 80s through his dedication and skill he became an important commander of the TIKKO. His example led to many Armenians joining the ranks of the Party to confront the slaughter of their people and all other peoples in Turkey with the weapon in hand and guided by Marxism.

To tell his story a documentary was now produced that will celebrate its initial screening in Cologne, Germany, on October 5, where it will be shown in full length with English subtitles. As Avrupa Haber reports, there will also be future screenings in other cities to come.

We share this english translation of a declaration of the Front in Defense of the Struggles of the People - Ecuador:

On September 12, another anniversary of the capture of Chairman Gonzalo complied.

We cannot negate that it was a blow to the New Democratic Revolution in Peru, but it was also a blow to the international proletariat, however, although it is true the People's War in Peru had to live a necessary restructuring and change of pace in its development, in no way this became an absolute defeat of the People's War.

Like any scenario that is experiencing an alteration of its forces, its movement, the capture of Chairman Gonzalo generated situations in which revisionism and opportunism took advantage of the situation and try to dynamite the direction of the Party, the course of the People's War and try, in vain, to minimize or deny the contributions made by Chairman Gonzalo to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.

Below we share this report sent by young revolutionaries who support the struggle for land:

In the north of Cauca, as in many other parts of the country, peasants and indigenous people fight for land to work, for some years they have decided to take land from the rich of our country, landowners who do not move a finger, who enrich themselves on the costs of the work of the poor.

In this fight the peasants and indigenous people have had to face the armed forces of the State numerous times, who defend the landowners and the great rich.

On June 6, the armed forces arrived at the Vista Hermosa farm to carry out an eviction. They tortured and killed Jefferson. The facts were vile, as does the State of the rich, of the exploiters.

We mirror this article from network for the freedom of all politcal prisoners:

*As soon as the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ended his visit to Germany on 29.09.2018, a nationwide raid was carried out on the 02.10.2018 against alleged members of the popular movement "REVOLUTIONARY ARAMAEANS" (Süryani Devrimciler) by the state protection of German imperialism.

Thus it came that for the 26.07.18, 28.05.19, 29.05.19, 2x 23.08.19 and 28.08.19 from the state security police of Bavaria and Baden-Wittenberg each a summons as an accused of violating the Law on Associations as well as using marks of unconstitutional organizations for the 1. May 2018 demonstration.

On September 12, in the capital of the state of Paraná, Curitiba, grafittis were installed on a bridge and a wall of a Portuguese corporation to mobilize for the general strike, which were signed with "Liga Operária" (workers' league).
