New UK initiative – Founding conference

For a new UK wide initiative to coordinate strategical debate and local working class practice: http://www.letsgetrooted.wordpress.com ———- Dear friends, Over recent weeks Croydon Solidarity 1, AngryWorkers and other comrades have started a debate about how to intensify our collaboration and make it open for others. 2 This debate was compounded by the Covid-19 crisis around us and encouraged […]

Can the subaltern write? – A photo study of elegies on commercial van sunshields

Company property is defaced and its function altered, we might say re-appropriated (Marx, 1868). We would like to thank SOASS for their funding support of this study into the expression of largely cis-male gendered post-colonial subjects employed in the retail delivery sector. This is the third part in a series of explorations (AngryWorkers, 2019). [1] […]

The Covid-19 regime and the working class: potentials for unification versus new divisions

In early-April we wrote a political summary of some of the global working class struggles under the Covid-19 regime. [1] We want to reiterate that ultimately it will depend on these struggles as to whether the current crisis will result in deeper divisions within the global working class or lead towards unification. Still, we can […]

Ideas for our Angry Zoom meeting #3

This is the third in a series of Zoom meetings. The focus of the meeting is the question how we can combine a new effort to get strategically rooted within the local working class with a process of political debate and coordination beyond our localities. For this meeting we asked comrade Steve Wright to contribute […]

Redistribution or trade war?

We reproduce this informative and accessible article from a comrade currently living in China, a tech worker, who is trying to get to grips with the US-China trade war. China’s economy has come under the spotlight again during the Corona epidemic. Conspiracy theorists think China released the virus into the world in order to accrue […]

Endnotes no.5: A melancholic goodbye…

A melancholic goodbye to neoliberalism and the era of ‘communisation’ These are very general and unsystematic thoughts after having read ‘Endnotes no.5 – The Passions and the Interests’. Reading it in the midst of the Corona lockdown was the optimal surrounding, as it gives you the required time and gets you in the right headspace […]

Reflections on Vasily Grossman’s, ‘Everything Flows’

After the article we posted a couple of weeks ago: ’Some experiences of how not to organise and a more useful one’ [1] we publish another beautiful piece of writing from the same comrade. This time it is about his reflections after reading Vasily Grossman’s novel, ‘Everything Flows’. For us the conversation with the comrade […]

Global struggles against the Covid-19 regime – Early April

A short summary of global Covid-19 struggles – 1st to 14th April 2020 First off, we have to admit the rather random character of such summaries, as the amount of strikes, riots, protests has been massive. Rather than pretending to present a complete picture, we want to make a few points, illustrated by examples. We […]

Workers, act now, or pay later? – Tune in and sick out!

Naming and shaming bad employers is de rigueur in the times of Corona. Just last week, the bigwig at my former workplace, a ready-meals factory in west London owned by Bakkavor, was secretly recorded threatening workers with the sack if they stayed at home ‘on sick leave.’ [1] We see the Bakkavor manager politely […]

A response to the comrades of the CWO and their “What’s the System? Review of an Angry Workers Pamphlet”

We want to thank the comrades for their thoughts and respond briefly to their criticisms of our ‘system-series’. [1] Before we go into the actual content we think it is fruitful to take a step back and look at the bigger picture: What we see is two minuscule revolutionary groups with a dozen comrades, who, […]
