1.MANIFESTO FOR THE CONVOCATION OF THE 2ND
INTERCONTINENTAL GATHERING :FOR A WORLD WHICH CONTAINS ALL WORLDS
We live in a period when human relations are intensely colonized.
Everywherethe same social system subjects humanity to the law of
money and homogenizeslife, generating poverty and devastation.
Faced with the ruins inflicted bythis relentless machine, resistances
arise from other ways of life, yet these seem condemned to isolation.
The time has come to break the vicious circle which prevents
humanity from bringing together its unease, its struggles and the
will for change.
In Mexico the armed revolt of the indigenous community of Chiapas,
organized by the EZLN, has opened the way towards a different future
for us all. Since the 1st January 1994 the imaginative struggle of
the Zapatistas has spurred people worldwide to create alternatives to
neoliberalism. Their initiatives have been created outside the
bounds of traditional institutional politics and always seek to
involve the greatest possible numbers, especially among marginalized
people.
In this spirit the First Intercontinental Meeting for Humanity and
Against Neoliberalism was organized in August 1996, hosted by five
indigenous communities in Chiapas, despite the military occupation
and siege by the Mexican Federal Army. The first Encuentro attracted
more than three thousand people from 43 countries in five continents.
They gained the opportunity to meet each other, to reflect and
express themselves, in an unprecedented act of solidarity.
These participants dared to cross the threshhold opened by the
Zapatistas and sought to cross to the other side of the
looking-glass. There everyone could be equal, precisely because they
succeed in being different, so that various ways of life co-exist,
all joined in rejecting the present system with the desire to
construct a world which includes many worlds -- the 'humanity' of
which we speak.
Everywhere there are people who are fed up with the dominant
values, who seekto change their own lives, to open new spaces and
construct a more dignified
present. Everywhere there are willing accomplices desiring to
live an adventure. To achieve this, it is worth extending the
Chiapas initiative and creating the network of resistance which was
proposed by the first Encuentro:
'An international network of resistance in which people help each
other, a network without an organized structure, without a central
command, without a hierarchy. A network comprising all those who
resist.'
For all those aims we announce the next Encuentro:

4. CONTENTS
The contents have been decided through a consultation answered by
over 1,000 people.
BIG THEMES distributed between the different tables :
1. Neoliberal economics against humanity. Our lives beyond
economics.
2. Our worlds and their world.
3.Struggles for culture, education and information.
4.The woman and her struggles./ The struggle against patriarcahy.
5. Struggles for the Earth and Ecology.
6. Against any form of exclusion.
Each theme will be discussed from the perspective of questions
debated in Chiapas : politics, society, economics and culture.
This time the additional perspective of gender will be looked at
The creation of a Network of Struggles and Resistence will be
present as a theme in each table . The structure and set up of the
Network will be based on the discussion of the following points :
The power in the society and the Network as an
anti-power.
New ways of doing politics
Who forms the network : Which kind of struggles and movements.
How to include everywhere the more excluded around the Planet.
Pragmatical conclusions : proposals and organisatorial criteria.
5. OBJECTIVES
The objectives and areas of discussion are based on the consulta
which was answered by over 1000 people
The second gathering is a gathering of struggle. That means that
the theme and contents of the discussions have to be focused on these
struggles and our experiences although in a broad and all
encompassing manner.
There is a need to create a network of struggles. This we believe
should be discussed at every table.
For the second gathering to pretend to be useful it must identify
new ways of struggle and new forms of politics. We must make sure
there is a real discussion between the participants therefore both
time and space have to be provided for learning from each other and
exchanging experiences.
To give some structure to the contents of the discussions the
following criteria have been decided
This is a gathering of struggles; we'll include the theoretical
aspects but our departure points are the struggles; which ones; where
they are and how they are.
At every table the creation and the features of the network need
to be discussed
Methodology
In order to fulfil these objectives our scheme of work must
resemble entering a cube
Front face - the entrance: Here we find the struggles, they need
to be sorted under some criteria
On the sides we find the analysis and methodology and all the
themes discussed in Chiapas, these have to be present and each of
them used as a tool of political analysis of each struggle and
experience. (In this way we reach a compromise by including the
thematic structure used in Chiapas)
This time we also add gender as a tool of analysis.
Some examples:
To implement the conclusions of table C, "Which politics have we
got and which politics do we need" means that in this gathering we
ask, what politics does this struggle confront and what new way of
politics shows in its development?
To implement the conclusion of the table about "economics,
histories of terror" we need to ask: How does this struggle
contribute to breaking the logic of the market, the dominant logic
that controls every relationship. How does it contribute to
introduce new human and ethical values which seek to satisfy human
aspirations?
In reference to the conclusions of the table "Culture, from the
potato to cyberspace" the idea would be to analyse how through every
struggle the dominant values, the intellectual power can be changed,
creating new experiences of free thought.
The conclusions about the social movements have a direct
application to the analysis of each struggle. They must show a new
way of being political, new ways of creating a relationship between
the different forms of struggle and resistance.
Finally, because we talk about a world with room for many worlds
within each struggle we need to see how to expand our notion of the
world (Earth) as we connect and integrate the different but similar
struggles of the planet.
We need to see how the diversity of real struggles provide a way
of building each of the different worlds a place in our world.
Referring to gender the question would be how the struggles within
itself and its surroundings the existing relationships (between men
and women)?
At the back of the cube is the exit. Here is the creation of the
network as the result of this exchange of experiences. It is
important to emphasise that this answer is not a simple
methodological consideration. This is the objective we are aiming
for in this 2nd Gathering. If we are unable to construct a
relationship between struggles, giving to them harmony, a learning
process, a system to grow together from the idea that they are
connected all the questions won't go beyond simple political
discussions.
The idea of the network is not simply a technical problem; one of
collecting addresses, fax numbers or internet addresses. It is
essentially a political problem, a new organisation way we have to
fill up with our own utopias, values and understandings of humanity
and politics.
To gather the struggle we must consider those concrete ones
against he way neoliberalism reduces and impoverishes necessities and
human aspirations. These express themselves as struggles for
humanity, they build up alternative human values.
From all these ideas the following themes were agreed.
1. Neoliberal economics against humanity. Our lives
beyond economics.
2. Our worlds and their world.
3. Struggles for culture, education and information.
4. The woman and her struggles./ The struggle against patriarchy.
5. Struggles for the Earth and Ecology.
6. Against any form of exclusion.
I. This includes all the struggles against neoliberalism in the
world of work, the concept of work, the creation of the conditions
for life. This includes all the struggles based in alternative
economies and ways of life
II. This includes struggles and experiences in opposition to the
perverse effects of the globalization of relationships, economic,
political and institutional that neoliberalism imposes.
Counterpoised to this we have the defence and recreation of our
own values of solidarity, cooperation and the relationship between
the people and the struggles of the world.
III. This includes struggle against the disintegrating models of
global culture, alienating education, discrimination and unequal
access to the creation and control of information.
VI. The agenda will be finalised afterh the women have gathered in
Vienna (1-2 May)
V. Its Obvious
VI. We want to include in this theme not only forms of exclusion
created by neoliberlism but also the forms of exclusion that exist
inside unfair and repressive societies that are often get reproduced
in groups fighting neoliberalism.
The theme of hte creation of hte network will be included in every
table. The following themes should be discussed In respect of this
A - Power in the society and the network as a counter power. This
point is essential because it clarifies that the network is not just
a technical problem. It's a problem of understanding hte concrete
and specific forms in which the power of injustice and anti-humanity
expresses itself destroying our best aspirations, of understanding
how this power limits our utopias.
From this an understanding has to emerge of our positive proposal,
our proposal of what we want to do in order to construct a world with
room for all the worlds of the planet.
This point includes
A.1 The dominant power
A.2 Our utopias and persepectives
A.3 Gender in the network
A.4 The network structures as a new notion of power
B - New ways of doing politics
How much is neoliberalism running in our blood
How to create a new language of struggle (as the Zapatistas have)
that allow us to connect in a new way with society?
C Who comprises the network, which sorts of struggles and
movements
A deep discussion about who really has the new thoughts and who is
just reproducing the old ways.
D How to integrate the more oppressed in each part of the planet.
E Pragmatic solutions: Proposals and critique of organisation.
All the themes above make sense if we are able to connect them in
proposals and intatives that create a grouping of struggles.
Time distribution in the talks
The first half of each tables work will be decidated to exchanges
about the struggles present.
In the second half it will be decided how much time to allocate to
the discussion of the creation of the network at each table or
subtable.
People have to think through this, it is not just 'one more theme'
to talk about, it is the objective of the gathering, the deep
treatment of the theme requires a seach for concrete proposals.
The consultation showed there is a requirement for open tables for
specific themes so struggles that want there own space can have it.
The gathering wants to be as inclusive as possable.

7. INFORMATION ABOUT CHOOSING THEMES TO TAKE PART IN :
People have to pick up the 3 themes they want to take part in
(preferential order) and then a sub-theme for each theme. This is
very important referring to the participants distribution into the
different venues.
Although is not especially in the document we (ZAP) think that
even the people that already sent the pre- inscription form do not
need to send it again would be helpful for the organisation in Spain
if they could also specify in which sub-theme do they want to take
part in.
(see list below)
The subjects of discussion of the Second Gathering for Humanity
and Against Neoliberalism
The intergalactic consultation (made in Frebruary-March '97)
showed us that the Gathering has to be about struggles and that the
contents have to be derived from the different experiences of
struggle. This does not mean we will avoid the theoretical discussion
about them.
The main objective will be the creation of a network of struggles
and resistence, after the committment made in Chiapas last summer.
This Gathering has to be used to identify new ways of struggling
and politics. In order to reach this points and reach an exchange of
learnings and experiences a real discussion , with enough time and
space ,has to be assured
Following big themes and sub-themes (or the unification of
struggles and experiences) have been decided :
1. Neoliberal economics against humanity. Our lives beyond
economics.
1.a. work and production media : concept, acces,
unemployment, precarity, technological change and unemployment,
productivism, economical agreements and our economies, etc.,
1.b. creation of conditions for a life with dignity : home,
health, social state, etc.
1.c Alternatives economies : fair trade, self management,
economies without money, cooperation,
1.d Ways of life beyond the market : reapporpiation, new self
organised movements, etc.
2) Our world and their world.
2.a Globalization and new differences: Relationship
between the N-W-E-S., new geometrics with space for our worlds,
international agreements, the single mind that does not want spaces
for freedom, the lies of the democracy in the "global village", the
western consumer, origins of hunger and poverty, the war scenes, the
death business, solidarity and cooperation, NGOs. Other ways of
globalisation.
2.b Folks and identities. Old and new problems : nationalism, self
determination, excluded or compliant, indigenous folks, etc.
2.c Human mobility or forced destiny : immigration, borders,
refuggies, internal migration, etc.
3) Struggles for culture, education and information.
3.a Culture: each of our worlds is a necessary
contribution and unique to the culture of everyone; global culture,
multiculture or cultural imperalism? The resistence to the art and
the art of resistence , culture as a tool of domination, the rescue
of collective memories, etc.
3.b Education : a way to create freedom . Education to form better
people rather than to form productive resources. Education: system
domestication or a tool of freedom? Childhood colonisation, the
learning process as a learning of participation and creation,
experiences of free-education, the wisdom of folks forgotten by
neoliberal civilisation, etc
3.c Information : they also want to own our personal details.
Information and power, media concentration, technology and knowledge,
the global society of information a paradigm that leaves us without
access to information, new ways of creating a two tier society; etc.

There is a new document summarising the criteria described by the
answers of the consultation and the different opinions that came up
in meetings, or people had sent. This document pretends to be the
base for discussions and also give criteria papers can be based on.
9. DOCUMENT EXPLAINING CONTENTS AND METHODS
"For a world where all worlds fit"
Criteria which define the sort of gathering we want
1. The Second Intergalactic Gathering for Humanity and Against
Neoliberalism is a gathering of struggles and resistances. We are
going to learn from and about all of them developing in all corners
of the world. Therefore the organisation of the contents is a form of
grouping them together and focussing the discussions. For the
exchange of real experiences, without this implying a renunciation of
the diversity of thought and theory that diversity brings.
2. We want the discussion and the exchange of experience to help
us develop new forms of politics, coming from utopia and hope, to
invent new practical and effective forms of linking the struggles and
resistances of the planet. The collective aspiration of this
gathering must be the creation of a NETWORK OF STRUGGLES AND
RESISTANCES. A network, without a centre controlling or directing,
which respects and creates relationships between the existing
struggles and resistances.
3. The women's struggles and the struggles against the patriarchy
will be a universal theme, present at all the tables.
4. The consultation we carried out told us that one form of
continuation of the First Gathering is respecting the thematic
organisation of it. However, real continuation is not merely
repeating a year later what was done in Chiapas. What we must do now
is use those conclusions to analyse in depth the current struggles
and then see how we can tie them together with the thread of our
hopes woven into a network.
5. At least two thirds of the opinions given in the consultation
ask that the themes not be 'prisoners' of just one table. That there
should be two or more themes at each table.
6. the Second Gathering must be a place made with the materials of
our best dreams, it will be wide, open, flexible and integrating. No
struggle should be excluded: we want a world where all worlds fit.
7. We must ensure that the exchange of experiences and the
analysis of every struggle generate fruitful discussions with broad
participation and dynamics where everyone speaks and listens in order
to learn together.
HOW WE SEE THE SECOND GATHERING
We talk about struggles in different languages but we all talk the
language of utopia.
When we speak of a world where all worlds fit we mean that every
struggle is enriched by contact with others.
For this we propose a method of analysis and a form of grouping
the struggles and resistances.
The method
We want the results of the First Gathering to be at all the
tables; not to repeat the conclusions of a year ago, but to help us
learn from the struggles and resistances present.
And to give some examples, we think that we can ask ourselves
questions like the following when discussing each struggle:
- The conclusions of the First Gathering table WHAT POLITICS DO WE
HAVE AND WHAT POLITICS DO WE NEED ? can help us answer questions such
as "What policy of the system does this struggle confront and what
new politics can we see developing in it?
- Applying the conclusions from the table ECONOMY: HORROR STORIES
brings us to questions like 'How does this struggle contribute to
breaking the dominant logic which says people are subordinate to the
market?'
- In relation to the table CULTURE FROM THE POTATO TO CYBERSPACE
questions like 'How does this struggle contribute to changing the
dominant values and breaking the inytellectual fraud of dogma,
generating new forms of free thinking?
- The conclusions about SOCIAL MOVEMENTS have a direct application
at the moment of analysing every struggle: they can teach us about
new ways of doing politics, of organising struggles, of creating new
alternative social structures.
Finally, when we talk of a world where all worlds fit, , we mean
that every struggle can open up our concept of the world as we learn
to connect and integrate struggles that are different but also
similar because of the values and the utopias they defend.
Also included as a universal theme is that of gender or all
struggles against patriarchy, in which the question could be 'how can
this struggle change, inside and outside itself, the injust relations
between the genders?
The struggles and resistances
In every corner of the planet men and women confront the concrete
forms of how the power of money prevents the human needs from being
satisfied and kills people's desires and aspirations.
These confrontations are also struggles for humanity which are
constructing new values.
This is how, looking at how and where the diverse struggles are,
we decided on the sub-themes.
10.PAYMENT :
The final quota has been established in 18.000 pesetas. Any money
added to this will go to the solidarity pot to support people with
financial problems.
Every organisational committee in Europe will collect the quotas
and lodge them in the bank account. OUTSIDE EUROPE : They payment of
the quota can be made once people arrives to Madrid.
11. PUBLICITY :
every organistational Committee is responsible for organising
the publicity in their area.
12.INTERGALACTIC STALLS :
In each venue their will be a space where people will be able to
leave fanzines, magazines, newspapers, etc. Written stuff from the
different struggles.
14.LOGO
There is one official logo, after the competition ( in which the
participation was very poor). Ask Barcelona for the official logo.
15.BULLETIN AND NEWSPAPER
Each venue will print a bulletin . Catalunya will print a
newspaper. The number 0 will come out approximately a month before
the Gathering and an other one will be print after the Gathering
(about 5,000 copies).

quota and as much as they can for the infrastructure expenses. In
case an alternative media representative can only attend the
Gathering for 1 or 2 days will only pay the expenses for these days,
BUT if is possible for them to contribute with some more money this
will be considered as very helpful !
