Plan C has been experimenting with the techniques of consciousness raising for a while, trying to reinvent them for contemporary circumstances. Over the last few months two of our members Nadia Idle and Keir Milburn have picked up this project developing a consciousness raising workshop to uncover the post-capitalist desires being produced today. In this, […]

Acid Communism
On Saturday 13th October 2018, a coalition of feminist and anti-fascist groups, including Women’s Strike Assembly and Plan C, were involved in organising a feminist bloc against the planned Democratic Football Lads Alliance (DFLA) march in London. The bloc was part of a unity demonstration, bringing together an even broader group of anti-fascist and anti-racist

The Stansted 15 are facing trial next week (starting Monday 1st October) for their protest against the immigration system, which successfully delayed the departure of a deportation charter flight. It is refreshing, after the widespread and justified mainstream outrage about the Windrush scandal, to see genuinely effective actions to end deportations. In this case, some

Summer is over and the far-right have not gone away. On October 13th the far-right Democratic Football Lads Alliance plan to march in London. In the last year thousands of them have taken to the streets, uniting racists from UKIP to Generation Identity. By manipulating information and outright lying, the far-right now present themselves as

On 8 August 2018, Argentina’s Senate rejected the Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy (VIP) bill that had already been approved by the lower house of parliament. The bill was the result of a long campaign and a series of mass mobilisations bringing the struggle for women’s, lesbians’, trans, and transvestites’ rights once again to the fore.
One year after the anti-G20 mobilisations in Hamburg, Anna Clara Basilicò from globalproject.info has interviewed the social movement scholars Peter Ullrich – researcher at the Technische Universität Berlin – and Donatella Della Porta – professor at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Florence. We have decided to re-publish this interview in light of the recent wave
Now is not the time to remain silent on conflicts about trans rights and sex workers’ rights, which have plagued our movement for decades. As an organisation for which class struggle and feminist politics are crucial, we believe it is important for us to express solidarity with comrades both within and outside of our organisation

On the 20th June, a jury at a coroner’s court declared that the killing of Rashan Charles, squeezed to death aged 20 on the floor of a shop in North London, by an anonymous policeman and a “civilian bystander”, was accidental. No doubt the policeman had no intention of killing him, but the verdict seems

We have translated this text by Italian neo-workerist economist Andrea Fumagalli, first published on Effimera.org. Fumagalli analyses Italy’s new right-wing government resulting from the alliance of far-right Lega Nord and populist Five Star Movement (M5S). Some people, especially outside of Italy, have thought of the M5S as a leftist electoral force. The M5S, however, has

“A woman’s work is never done.” There’s something insulting about the neutered cutesification of the familiar realities of women’s lives – vast swathes of which are dedicated to the largely unpaid task of domestic or caring labour upon which all other work depends. Ask anyone facing down that mammoth, life-long work assignment and they’ll tell

The University of Sussex had been slowly grinding to a halt since the start of the UCU strike. Things came to a head last week, with the students calling a national demonstration for 15th March, and the management’s decision to shut down campus in response. All sorts of emails were flying around from the VC’s

In the first days of January 2018, Tunisia has been shaken by a new round of social rebellion for socioeconomic rights, including demonstrations, roadblocks, and clashes with the police in most regions of the country. I will first summarise the facts and then provide a theoretical interpretation. The proximate cause of the unrest is the
