"An anarchist who supports male domination contradicts the implicit critique of power which is the fundamental principle upon which all of anarchism is built. Sexist anarchists do exist, but only by virtue of directly contradicting their own anarchism. This contradiction leaves sexist anarchists open to criticism on their own terms. Anarchism must be feminist if it is to remain consistent" - L.

> Dear friends,
> General Strike in Serbia continued through whole day today (3rd
> October). Students organized their own demonstrations which started at 12
> o'clock at the square in front of Philosophical faculty. We blocked the
main
> streets in Belgrade for more than 6 hours. We also blocked highway for
more
> than 2 hours. During all that time we had loud support of people from
> surrounding buildings and from blocked cars.
> In some places of city police started betting up people which is the
> best sign that Milosevic is loosing control and that this fight is his
life
> or death fight. God news is that police on some places in town refused to
> beat protesters up, that is showing that Milosevicis system is braking up
> inside. Until now police was main protecting force of Milosevic regime.
> Coal miners in the biggest mine in Serbia are striking for 3 days now,
> some 7000 miners were faced in Leskovac (city in Serbia) with 2000 armed
> policemans, several of them are injured and arrested. Electricity in some
> parts of Belgrade was out today, regime is trying in that way to turn
public
> opinion against striking miners but we have data from independent
> syndicates that there is enough coal for electricity and that this is only
> trick by the regime.
> Whole Serbia is in General Strike, Belgrade is in worst position of
> whole Serbia. If we want to take this bastard of the power we have to
stop
> Belgrade, and we hope to do that as soon as tomorrow or day after
tomorrow.
> Lot of people from cities in Serbia tried to come to Belgrade but were
> stopped by police.
> Organization of student protest was total shit. We, anarchists, had
> fight with secret leaders of Otpor, pro-opposition student movement, which
> didn't have any organizing ideas and plans but wanted to make strike!!
> Tomorrow (Wednesday) we are going to join organizing board of strike, we
> will put some more demands that we think that should be gained, like full
> autonomy of university and other student-related stuff. We hope that
> organizing of strike tomorrow will be much better, if it doesn't goes that
> way, we will see what other things we can do to put General Strike in
> practice.
> Those are the news for now, tomorrow I'll send some more news.
