[Marxism] From the Maltese left

[Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>]

Moviment Graffitti is active against oppression and exploitation of
people, environment and animals; with a vision of freedom and radical
democracy.

Moviment Graffitti's activism consists primarily of two strategies:

Direct Action. Moviment Graffitti is active in various areas such such
as social justice and protection of the environment. This includes the
years-long activism in local community struggles such as the Front
Against the Hilton, Front Against the Golf Course and Save Kalkara
Valley Front. This also activities for the emancipation of the working
class (such as participation in demonstrations by progressive trade
unions); peace and neutrality (such as activities against the visit of
warships); civil rights (such as divorce and anti-sexism); human rights
(such as the rights of asylum seekers); and animal rights (such as
anti-furcoat protests). Moviment Graffitti has organised various
activities that were concurrently taking place around the world. These
include Workers' Day, Peace Marches, the World Anti McDonalds Day, as
well as various activities against capitalist globalisation and in
favour of global social justice.
Ideological Action. Moviment Graffitti considers ideology as having a
vital role in order that leftitst and progressive visions may be
proposed within social formations. Through public statements, articles,
the publication of 'Graffitti' pamphlet as well as other methods of
public relations, Moviment Graffitti expresses its ideology. Moviment
Graffitti organises and also participates in seminars, discussions and
civil society meetings. The Movement also organises cultural activities
such as music, exhbitions, films and theatre.
Moviment Graffitti is autonomous from any political, economic and social
force and practices radical democracy within its structures. It believes
in the role of progressive alliances in order that the left may be
strengthened.

Moviment Graffitti's structures include the weekly meeting for members
within which decisions are taken; the University and Junior College
Branch (FUJC); and the organisation of subcommittees in line with the
Movement's requirements. Decisions are taken in a democratic manner
among members who attend meetings. All members can propose issues for
inclusion within the meetings' agenda. No leader exists within the
Movment, and all members are volunteers.
