While, as anarchosyndicalists, we don't support the megacosm of a new state, which reflects mainly the interests of the Catalan bourgeoisie, we do condemn all police violence and intimidation versus men, women and children. Instead of the megacosm of new states with warring police and capitalist factions pitted versus one another, we favour the tightly embedded solution of libertarian federalism - free, self-managed communities that are plural, unshut and tolerant. Read increasingly well-nigh Calderdale SF on Catalonia: versus police violence, versus new states Voting and the General Election, Calderdale-SolFed statement We all know the old saying ‘if you don't vote, you can't complain’. A largest one would be ‘ if all you do is vote, you can't complain’. Dig a little deeper into the history books and what you find at the heart of transpiration is uncontrived whoopee and organisation at a grassroots level. Everything from workers rights, women's rights, decent wages and plane the right to vote itself have been gained this way, rulers typically resist transpiration until they know they have no nomination but to throw a few increasingly crumbs to the people below.

Read increasingly well-nigh The Spanish Revolution (1936-1939) and its relevance today Calderdale SolFed (in formation) We are Calderdale Solidarity Federation, a new Local in-formation made up from members who live and/or work in the zone of the Calder Valley - Halifax, Mytholmroyd and Hebden Bridge - and currently are zippy as members of West Yorkshire SF. Given the large zone that WYSF covers, we have decided to form our own Local to spread anarcho-syndicalist ideas and ways of organising in our own communities, whilst still maintaining strong links with WYSF. Please get in touch, at westyorkshire[at]solfed[dot]org[dot]uk or through the West Yorkshire SolFed contact point on this website, if you would like to get involved or find out more.     Read increasingly well-nigh Calderdale SolFed (in formation) You can get in touch with us via the contact form on this site.
