IGC fails to understand spam and netiquette, and continue to make a
mockery of state repression.

         WARNING2* Warning *A so-called anarchist and Bill Gates, handin
hand as cyber-cops on the Net.* * *Story of a state repression, led under
the blackflag, against the Internationalist Communist Group.At the end of
September, the e-mail providerHotmail(Microsoft Network) has decided to
close our account, without justification.Its access is definitively denied,
without any possibility to transferthe incoming messages to a new address.
We used this e-mail box for threeyears and a half. It has become an
important organisative tool tokeep in touch with dozens of proletarian
groups and individuals, readers,contacts etc... around the world. Thus we
had to open a new account: <icgcikg-AT-yahoo.com>.
What's happened, actually? The technicaldecision taken byHotmail responded
to a complaint of a guy calledIlan Shalif. He's one of the moderators of a
news service on the Net: a-infos,"amulti-lingual news service by, for, and
about anarchists", as theycall themselves. We sent texts and announcements
about our press to a-infos,as well as to a lot of groups and organizations
around the world, callingthemselves "marxist", "anarchist", "proletarian",
"anti-capitalist", etc.Ilan Shalif refused to spread our material on
a-infos, with insultsby way of arguments:"bloody authoritarian
vanguardists", "leninists",etc. More, the Big Inquisitor Ilan Shalif
publicly prided himself on havingregistered the complaint against us to
Hotmail. His honourable andlaw-respectful attitude impressed the Microsoft
employees, who immediatelyobeyed to his order.
It's neither the first nor the last timein class-societies history that
groups like ours have to fight againstthe State repression, and that's
nothing new to see the role of SocialDemocrat families, as an active part of
the State, acting against the revolutionaryneeds of the proletariat. Once
more, it deserves a clear and strong counterattack.
Anarchist may be the name under whichproletarians lead their fight against
the State. Important revolutionarymovements claimed anarchism and communism,
like the Makhnovchtchina.Both"anarchism" and "communism" become pure
social-democratideologies when turned into political families in competition
withothers (socialism, fascism, leftism...), inside the State and
notagainstthe State any more. It's always a cruel defeat for the
proletariat, asnegation of our class war against the bourgeoisie. That's why
we alwaysconsider what someone's doing, more than what he pretends to be,
and ourfundamental criteria remains the contradiction between revolution
andcounterrevolution.
Revolutionary movement urgently needs a realpractise of criticism, to break
with ideology, with the harmful familyframework, in order to take on the
class antagonism, and to organize itselfon clear and sharp positions. Quite
the reverse, eternal disputes led byand between families exhaust our forces,
and are systematically based ontwo typical weapons of the State repression,
no matter in which colourit's painted: amnesia and falsification.
Maybe a tame and domesticated citizen likeIlan Shalif has ideas about
"revolution", "against the State". But hisrealpractice only consists in
defending the colour of an empty flag, thename of a family, including its
narrow and ready-to-wear lexicon. Thanksto such dogmatic tradition, he's
today totally unable to understand therevolutionary watch-word "dictatorship
of the proletariat for the abolitionof wage labour". He thinks it's an
apology of "state-capitalism" (doesexist capitalism without State?), just
like the common bourgeois press.He simply usesleninist methods against us,
and he's totally unableto really criticize leninism as we do in our reviews.
Of course,it's so difficult, boring and useless to read political texts,
sinceprefab clichés are so easy to repeat.
We would be happy to exaggerate, but thepresent results of such practice
confirm our analysis. Unable to assumea real political confrontation,
preachers of Social Democrat families arealways hasten to collaborate with
the State repression against proletarianactivity, despite they pretend to
do. When our e-mail box was closed, wejust internationally handed out our
leaflet about the struggles againstthe IMF, around the meeting in Praha, in
order to organize and centralizeproletarians contacts, on basis of a
practical fight. The poor above mentionedcitizen, flagging under his
"anarchist" flag, flaunting kind ideas against"globalization", against the
"US devil-in-chief" Bill Gates...has nowcreated a nice democratic and State
front, hand in hand with Microsoftagainst the anti-capitalist fight!
Revolutionary movement keeps a goodmemory against such cops of the Old
World.
Comrades, let's organize our struggle'scommunity against capitalism and its
Social Democrat families, towardsthe realization of the human community,
without State or classes.New Email:
