As part of the libertarian movement already knows, for several years now the CNT-AIT faces a process of suffocation by an organization that calls itself “anarcho-syndicalist” and also claims the name of CNT. The individuals and anarchist groups that feel that they are not part of anarcho-syndicalism perceive this situation with some suspicion, with skepticism and even with a bit of irony.
We, anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists, consider it completely unacceptable for ourselves to take any part in political shows organized by supporters of the right-wing populist Navalny, who is sadly "famous" for his openly nationalist, anti-immigrant, anti-Caucasian and anti-Semitic statements. To march in the ranks of the demonstrations they convened would mean - regardless of any excuses or "explanations" - to turn into the back of one of the political gangs waging a dirty and unprincipled struggle for power.
Short Statement by the Workers Solidarity Alliance (WSA)
On Wednesday, January 6th 2021, an attack organized by a far right wing mob on the Capitol Building of the United States took place while congress met to certify the presidential election results. They were encouraged by a deranged authoritarian and outgoing President of the United States, Donald Trump and focused heavily on his corrupt grift and inflated ego. Even though the event was anticipated and all but announced publicly, the police initially appeared to treat the mob with “kid gloves” especially when compared to how they have treated Black Lives Matter protests and others just this year, something even the mainstream media has commented on.
Desde el secretariado de la AIT (Asociación Internacional de las Trabajadoras) queremos denunciar públicamente una serie de ataques que desde hace algunos años están recibiendo nuestras secciones en diversas partes del mundo. Una vez más, nos vemos obligados a defender a nuestra organización internacional de agresiones similares.
Como ya sabe parte del movimiento libertario, desde hace varios años la CNT-AIT se enfrenta a un proceso de asfixia por parte de una organización que se dice anarcosindicalista y que también se hace llamar CNT.
Nosotros, anarquistas y anarcosindicalistas, consideramos que es completamente inaceptable para nosotros participar en espectáculos políticos organizados por partidarios del populista de derecha Navalny, que es tristemente "famoso" por su actitud abiertamente nacionalista, antiinmigrante, anti-caucásica y sus declaraciones antisemitas. Marchar en las filas de las manifestaciones que convocaron significaría -independientemente de las excusas o "explicaciones"- convertirse en el apoyo de una de las bandas políticas que libran una lucha sucia y sin principios por el poder.
