The next assembly will center around issues which flowed from the last
meeting regarding refugees and immigrants. The discussion of
super-exploitation and racism toward immigrants brought up more general
issues involving social control and the rise of right-wing movements which
typically exploit racist or anti-immigrant sentiment, such as the PVV of
Geert Wilders.
What are the divisive issues that the ruling class (or sections of it) use
in order to divide working class solidarity and enforce their economic
interests? How do we expose the "populism" of racist/fascist movements
which pretend to address the interests of "ordinary people" against
perceived "enemies?" And most importantly, how can our political organizing
best deal with the poison spewed by these demagogues? Do we organize
separate anti-racist pro-immigrant movements and concentrate on defeating
these evil politicians? Or is this a concern that simply must be integrated
into political organizing on all fronts? At the coming meeting, we shall
address these and related questions, both from a theoretical point of view
drawing from our experiences, but also leading to suggestions for practical
action to be undertaken by the assembly or to be joined in.
With special agenda points:
1) Anti-NATO demonstration last Saturday
2) Update eviction Koppenhinksteeg
3) Info by someone the "Group of Lawyers for the Rights of
Refugees and Migrants"
4) Continuing discussion on social movements / trade unions, etc vs. the
rise of right-wing groups.
5) Report from the last rally to support the Schiphol cleaners
6) Procedural discussion regarding the organization of our meetings,
especially addressing problems affecting our last assembly.
