  Front de libération du Québec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Front de libération du Québec (Quebec Liberation Front), commonly known as the FLQ, was a socialist and nationalist terrorist group in Canada founded in the 1960s, during the early days of the Quebec independence movement, which practiced propaganda of the deed.
The group's declarations called for a Marxist insurrection, the overthrow of the Quebec government, the independence of Quebec from Canada and the establishment of a workers' society.
The FLQ was a group of Québécois founded in February of 1963, by three Rassemblement pour l'indépendance nationale members, Georges Schoeters, Raymond Villeneuve, and Gabriel Hudon, who had met each other as part of the "Réseau de résistance." The FLQ's intellectual leaders were Charles Gagnon and Pierre Vallières.

 THE STRUGGLE FOR LIBERATION IN SOUTH AFRICA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The struggle for liberation is a struggle that affects all Africans equally and it is in recognition of this fact that the ANC has always been and still is in the forefront of the working-class struggle, of the general struggle for liberation.

This was a significant stage in the development of the struggle for national liberation; for in all the campaigns that followed the formation of the alliance, both the planning and execution of decisions were decided at a meeting of the joint executives of the Congresses.

In its struggle for the attainment of its demands the liberation movement avails itself of various political weapons, one of which might (but not necessarily) be the boycott.

If the group therapist takes on too much of a leadership function, he or she is likely enough to be missing a chance to reflect on these possibilities.
If group therapy is about ways in which the figures and dramas of our inner world become externalized in a social context, then we should not just stay with our observations and interventions only within the group, but also look beyond its borders to the social world around us.

 Introduction David Cooper 7 The Obvious R
We are dealing with the dialectics of liberation (actually a redundant phrase, because I believe that all dialectic is liberation) and not only liberation in an intellectual sense, but liberation involving the mind and the body, liberation involving entire human existence.
It is liberation from the repressive, from a bad, a false system - be it an organic system, be it a social system, be it a mental or intellectual system: liberation by forces developing within such a system.
It is time to ask whether this prejudice against the intellectuals, and the inferiority complex of the intellectuals resulting from it, was not an essential factor in the development of the capitalist as well as the socialist societies: in the development and weakening of the opposition.

If labour wishes to achieve its own specific ends it is going to have to not only ally externally with the other indicated movements (and other such that may exist or appear) but to internalise the issues raised by the others.
With the increasing centrality of communicati on and culture to social life, the labour movement has to not only value and support the pluralisation and democratisation of this area, but to understand its logic, to learn the skills, and to recognise that any new labour internationalism is going to largely be a communications internationalism.
Although the origins of the labour move ment have been tied up with notions of solidarity and internationalism, and although such have frequently been expressed in forms of communication, the labour movement, its prominent leaders and eminent theorists never seriously thought about the concepts of solidarity, of internationalism or of communication.

 European Socialism and the Russian Revolution...Anarchism/Syndicalism - Bob James
One group, mainly from the leadership of the CNT, joined an interim Spanish Ministry which included Communists and left-reformers, apparently conceding that 'power, hierarchy and discipline' were necessary for the achievement of revolutionary goals.
Hired labour is but a transitory and inferior form, destined to disappear before associated labour plying its toil with a willing hand, a ready mind, and a joyous heart.
During the 1870's and 1880's it is probably fair to say that anarchism lost touch with the labour movement, due to repression, loss of key activists to jail and disillusion, and to the greater attractions of parliamentary and trade union organisations.

 Karen Human Rights Group | Reports | Pa’an District: Land confiscation, forced labour and extortion undermining ...
At present their livelihoods are being seriously undermined because of forced labour, extortion of money and demands for livestock and materials by State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) and Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA) authorities who exert control over the region.
In village tracts jointly controlled by SPDC and DKBA forces villagers face demands for forced labour, money and materials by both groups, but DKBA forces tend to be more in evidence so their demands are the heaviest.
To clear the site the SPDC authorities asked for villagers and paid them 1,000 Kyat per day, but the villagers feel this was done to win their cooperation and that when more labour is required later they will probably force the villagers to do the work without payment.
