Re: nettime hot summer in Europe
My 5 cents on the subject: 24M: It was not a victory for Podemos, but for the Indignados' movement https://www.opendemocracy.net/can-europe-make-it/simona-levi/24m-it-was-not-victory-for-podemos-but-for-15m-movement We are increasing our competencies and the fronts we?re fighting on, not imploding into a single brand. And it works ;). All the best, Simona El 13/06/15 a las 12:24, Felix Stalder escribi?: After Barcelona, now Madrid [1]. Majors from the M15 movement are now in charge of the two biggest cities in Spain. Greece is on the brink of being sacrificed on the altar of orthodoxy. The war in the Ukraine is grinding on. Is 2015 turning into 1913? Who knows, but it's gonna be a hot summer in Europe for sure.

nettime FYI Hacking EU Parliament: #FalcianiVsJuncker
http://partidox.org/falciani-vs-juncker/#en For the corrupt elites that govern us, the candidate of the Citizens' Network Party X Hervé Falciani poses a threat as big as Juncker, and the Troika and its policies, are to us, the people, the citizens. The European PP (the major group in the European Parliament), has proposed Jean-Claude Juncker to be its candidate for president of the European Comission. He governed Luxemburg for 18 years like a tax haven and had to resign for spying on the Luxemburg parliament. He has also been Governor of the World Bank and was president of the Eurogroup. He was also proposed as Governor of the International Monetary Fund and the Central European Bank. Juncker IS the Troika. He is Merkel's candidate and he is being supported, of course, by Rajoy. Juncker is the market. He is austerity and impunity. Falciani was an anonymous citizen until he abandoned his position as a systems engineer in a Swiss bank, taking with him data about tax evasion of 130,000 large fortunes. Today, Falcini lives under witness protection because his life is at risk. His information is known as the Falciani list and it is much more than a list of names of great tax evaders. It is a monumental set of data that Falcini collected thoroughly for years and that prove to the citizens the scam that the political and the financial class have played by systematically avoiding tax payment combined with total impunity. Tax fraud unveiled by Falciani represents 2.5% of the Gross Domestic Product of the European area: 300 000 million Euros. Falciani´s work has allowed to recover many billions for the American and French tax authorities, and several hundreds to the Spanish Hacienda and to proceed with corruption causes such as the Gürtel case in Spain. But this is only the beginning. Falciani has proved us that, besided a moral, social and political problem; corruption is a technical problem that can be solved. The corruption of those that govern us needs a constant flow of briefcases filled with money, and that leaves a trace. You don't need much money to follow the trail of a lot of money. We can fight back. For the corrupt élites that govern us, the candidate of the Citizen Network Party X Hervé Falciani poses a threat as big as Juncker, and the Troika and its policies, are to us, the people, the citizens. This battle goes beyond the electoral framework. We call all the citizens to join in the fight for a Europe that is more democratic and just against the impunity of the elites. Printed, Falciani list could fill a freight train. We want the next stop of that train to be the European Parliament. More infos about the guerrilla comunication group called X Party: This project start from an idea to adapt Network philosophy to action. Here my staring text about it: http://conservas.tk/english/tactics/ Then to hack institutions vía citizens' organization - via methodology. Here: http://partidox.org/method/ Then a party anti-party: http://partidox.org http://partidox.org/en/ Then european election. Here me explaining it in OWS: https://occupywallst.org/article/anti-party-party-x-party-selects-candidates/ And working with Flaciani in other things about corruption and deciding that it would be great if he and his knowledge could go to the EU parliament. It would be a great MindFuck , if you don't mind the word .

nettime FYI [presentation video] The Citizen Network - X Party is grooving
We are a group of Spanish activists and citizens involved in a new political initiative called 'Red Ciudadana Partido X' (Citizen Network - X Party). You might have read some of the articles published about us in English-speaking media [1] [2] [3] or some of the references appeared in academic or activist sites [4] [5]. Anyway, you can find more information about this project at our webpage [6]. Many of us have been involved in the M15 Indignados movement in Spain, which has deeply transformed the Spanish political scene. We have spent more than one year developing a 'prototype' of a citizen network that could be able to pose a threat to the duopoly of Spanish main parties. For the last several months we have been building that network, which now includes thousands of people and active nodes in many of the main Spanish cities. Last October 8 we organized a public presentation of the project in Madrid and six other Spanish cities that was attended by around 1000 people and was watched by more than 10 000 viewers over the Internet. You can watch a video summary of the event in Youtube [7] (English subtitles available): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub_Nwxj9948 We are very interested in talking to people who promote similar lines of action all over the world.

nettime [text] Learn in the Net, act everywhere
. We tend to be self-referential. Our psychic structure pushes us towards familiar things; our compulsion to repeat prevents us from being spontaneously faithful to the objectives that we set ourselves and encourages us to betray the things we know are good for us. Our historical responsibility, our rational efforts, must focus on remaining faithful to our desire for change. This means overcoming the fear of the new in the ways we think and behave. As our colleague Toret says: when you have no imagination, you turn to memory. And as Marx ' Groucho Marx ' says: better new than never. All these steps are anti-natural. They all lead us to what we truly desire. We've been able to do it and we'll keep doing it; this is why we've been able to take a r-evolution into a space of arid thought. As I write, there's no doubt that I am missing some of the subtleties. In general, I'm better at creating history than talking about it. Like everything we do, egoism drives what I do. The future doesn't interest me. I don't have children to pass it on to, and I don't think the human species deserves to survive. But the future is here in my present, every day. And as the saying goes, 'I'm interested in the future, as I'm going to spend the rest of my life there.' See you there, along with my personal heroes who aren't in any book. My heroes are my comrades in the fight. Justice and quality Simona Levi Barcelona, March-June 2012 (translation: Nuria Rodr??guez) PS: I've been accused of overlooking the more 'feminine' texture of the struggle. Perhaps because of my military tone? J I actually don't overlook it at all, but this didn't seem the right place to show it. Children may be reading. J But I do think that we should take advantage of the widespread contempt for women. The enemy don't see us coming, and by the time they realise, it's too late for them. Licence: you can do whatever you like with this text as long as you mention the authorship. Notes: [1] : This text is a continuation of this one which I wrote last year. It's called 'Working Notes for a R-evolution' and it includes the following subjects, which you may miss in this second text: - The defense of the Internet and of sharing - The Internet as a tool for counterinformation and self-organisation; as a way of ending impunity and the atomisation of ideas for change. - Netiquete and a new ethics that favour maturity and autonomy thanks to the recognition of each individual's merits and skills, and the standardisation of forms of organisation that favour decentralised control, the empowerment of end users, and the shared distribution of resources. - Timing - Spaces: affinity groups and online collaborations; anonymous, viral presences; 'brand' development; assemblies. - The 'how': be radical, demand the possible. - Learn to win: whenever there is change, there is loss. - This war is a language war - We need to be present at all levels. - Letting ourselves be co-opted. - Finding resources within the system. [2] Erick S. Raymond, ??The Cathedral and the Bazaar??, Indianopedia version. [3] Thanks to my friend Stef for passing me 'The Cult of Done'. I think this is the original source, but I'm not certain. [4] When I say 'do your crying elsewhere' I don't mean 'go and cry on your own somewhere like a stray dog' I mean 'we should treat our spaces of organisation as a space where we go once we have our ideas straight, not a space where we can dump our insecurities and weaknesses.' We have to build ourselves strong affective networks that include other spaces in which we can care for each other and show our fragilities. But we shouldn't ask strangers who may feel as needy and lost as we do to cover our emotional needs and understand our fears. Our space of political action and our emotional space may be the same, but this is not usually the case. This is not a text on spaces of affect ' don't look for any of that here; that's a text I haven't finished writing yet. J [5] Xabier Barandiaran and Lluis Guiu Metabolismo, comunicaci??n y evoluci??n en redes bacterianas y tecnol??gicas Other texts that I consider complementary and very useful: - Amador Savater: '??C??mo se organiza un clima? - Un mensaje para el #12M15M desde el barrio de Internet - This DVD: very useful, even though it's completely off-topic - Jacques Lecoq, my theatre teacher, taught me two things that he never wrote down: 1- When you start an improvisation, accept things as you find them. Use the elements that are available, never say 'no' to them and try to impose your own. 2 ' Always ask 'why'? about everything. _ Spanish original version: http://conservas.tk/tacticas/ # distributed via nettime: no commercial use without permission # nettime is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l

nettime Save de date: oXcars and FCForum 2011.
27 to 29 of October 2011 - Barcelona* Oxcars and FreeCultureForum 2011 Networks for a R-evolution **Three days to think about what the Internet has done for us, and what we can now do for it ;-).* http://whois--x.net/english/oxcars-and-freecultureforum-2011 2011 is the year when the consciousness of a global network has emerged. The massive and strategic use of social and digital networks has allowed the movement of citizen empowerment to step up a notch, and has facilitated a viral uprising of civil society in many parts of the world. The struggles to defend the Internet have shown to be a fertile breeding ground for such uprisings. The #15M movement within the *#spanishrevolution* is organized online. By the same token, one of its biggest strengths is the feedback process that happens between the network and the streets, between the internet and the men and women gathering in streets and squares. *We have to continue promoting, facilitating and improving the efficient use of the Internet to achieve mobilization and direct participation.* During the previous edition of the FCForum it was already discussed that the intense struggles by civil society within the Spanish state to defend the Internet against the Sinde Law (a law to stop downloading) were the starting point for a larger action. *For 3 years now, the OXCARS and the FCForum*, held in Barcelona, have provided international meeting spaces in which to build and coordinate common tools for issues regarding free culture and the Internet. The FCForum gathers the main organizations and active voices that are working on such issues, while it is also an open space for all those who wish to understand, deepen and participate in the responses before the pressing challenges that face our connected societies. This year, the FCForum will focus, inevitably, on the experience of the 15M movement as a case study that can be exported to the global arena. *The intention of the FCForum 2011 is for all participants to analyze and build the best tools that the struggle needs at this point, both for its organization and for the impact it aims to have here in Spain, as case of study to be applied more globally.* * Some of the questions that we will discuss this year are:* Which tools and methods of online organization and communication have allowed the emergence of the #15M movement? How can these practices be improved? How have social networks facilitated a change in the respect shown between people from different groups? What dangers threaten the neutral, open Internet which we know and want to preserve, at the local and global levels? How has the Internet facilitated the creation of new ways of producing and spreading culture? How can some of those methods become a way to avoid artists being used as an excuse to privatize the Web? What should we do with SGAE (the main management organization in Spain) now that its directives have been taken to court ;-)? *This gathering of 2 days will be preceded, as always, by the OXCARS, the biggest free culture event of all time. A great celebration of free culture that will serve as a warm-up event.* We believe it will be a very useful space for the empowerment of the movement. We welcome and await you all. This year we will be helped along in our discussions, amongst many others, by John Perry Barlow, who in 1996 lit the spark with his 'declaration of independence in ciberspace', Alex de la Iglesia, who stepped down from his post as Director of the Film Academy in protest against the Sinde law, as well as many of the hackers and people who have created tools to assist the actions of the 15M movement, such as the network N-1.cc. *Three days to think about what the Internet has done for us, and what we can now do for it ;-).* Location Thursday 27th October, 20.30 Oxcars Sala Apolo - Barcelona Friday 28th and Saturday 29th from 11h to 21h at the Rambla in front of Santa Monica and at Santa Monica, Drassanes metro stop * Site: http://www.2011.fcforum.net/ Program: http://www.2011.fcforum.net/topics/ English translation will be provide. * Please, help to disseminate the info.* * http://oxcars11.whois--x.net/en/ http://whois--x.net/english/the-oxcars http://whois--x.net/english http://2011.fcforum.net http://fcforum.net http://www.facebook.com/LaEXnet Twitter at @fcforum_net (ingl?s) Identi.ca at @fcforum (ingl?s) Twitter at @X_net_ (castellano) *X.net **http://whois--x.net* # distributed via nettime: no commercial use without permission # nettime is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nett...@kein.org
