Editorial


The electoral circus is left for 3 months. If we judge by the number of contenders, their 
"democracy" is doing well. But good health will stop there because participation is not 
likely to break records in city neighborhoods where the population lives below the poverty 
line. When one spends his time and his energy trying to survive, employment center at CCAS 
through charities for food and clothing, we have other concerns ... The municipal 
elections are yet another content that presidential and parliamentary elections. The 
issues are not the same in a village in a city. Recall for naive, a municipal council, 
even adorned with good intentions (social, environmental, ...), is under the supervision 
of the prefect, who may at any moment break any decision which would be against the best 
interests of State and even resign any elected "wacky." You must not dream any alternative 
Municipalism at any level whatsoever.

As for cities, sores of Paris and Lille should allow Anne Hidalgo and Martine Aubry to 
limit the damage to the PS. Lyon, the Left is in for a long time one second Right 
efficient power should proceed. As for the rest of the large and medium cities, the ruling 
party will take slaps as it should be sanctioned by the voters, not on any assessment of 
its municipal action, but reaction against the current regime. This is how to prevent this 
type of electoral behavior, some mayors of the Socialist Party politician gum completely 
their label. Reims, and this is just one example, in any leaflet, poster or no profession 
of faith, you will see the PS initials attached to the outgoing mayor! If you always take 
the case of Reims, but you can find this phenomenon in other cities, the outgoing mayor 
may not have a hope of winning (and again ...) if the National Front manages to be in the 
second round . Issues we guess ... and scheming. This situation will be clarified when the 
Right is uninhibited enough to make alliance with the FN to manage the affairs of the state.

But we're not there yet! Uninteresting as possible to leave this circus report as 
anti-fascism lounge will serve reel for the Socialist Party in power. Classic! Recall that 
the "socialist" Mitterrand became re-elected in 1988 with the rise of the National Front 
... As we know, all these issues would be swept if politicians a social movement born of 
magnitude. For the past 40 years, social struggles are defensive struggles to preserve the 
social gains of the previous periods. These struggles have always taking place (and it's 
happy!) As the Capital continues to break the sectors it considers unprofitable. These 
struggles, employment has never been preserved despite workerists speech and intensity of 
class conflict. Obviously, the employee wants to sell because he has no choice if Capital 
does not want this labor, it is a disaster for the workers and their families. For cons, 
the only things that have been torn from the Capital are severance.

It is noted that in the case of the steel industry, to take one example, in the 80s, the 
claims of maintaining the plants were working tool and only as a last resort (except in 
exceptional cases) that licensees fought for a substantial compensation. Now, even when a 
plant closes or terminates renowned (such as Redoute Roubaix), employees immediately think 
of the amounts of severance or voluntary departure. These class struggles can only hit the 
Capital at checkout but not put in difficulty because its interests (and dividends ...) 
moved. Especially since these workers-proletarians communities dissolve and atomize. It 
can not be any construction or maintenance of a balance of power in class production 
centers abandoned by capital.

These struggles naturally turn towards government ordered to take a position, to make 
proposals to bend employers. This is always accompanied by legal proceedings where 
employees are disempowered by law firms specializing in labor law. Gradually, the class 
struggle dissolves. While it is hoped and above what can be done to change this situation? 
It is often said that the extension of precariousness, working conditions increasingly 
degraded, suggest a return to the 19th century-early 20th in developed countries. This is 
true, but not entirely because today there is the technology to monitor our actions in the 
street but also on our operating locations.

Today and tomorrow the proletariat class struggle has to carry on working conditions on 
employment contracts, against surveillance and social control ... and obviously on wages. 
In this issue of CA, we reported a victory of the proletariat subcontractor SNCF Gare 
d'Austerlitz in Paris. Of course, today's victory may lead to a loss tomorrow, but 
nevertheless, win can only give the fishing for future fights. There too long we lose, the 
capitalists have the initiative because they have a global perspective while we have huge 
difficulties to fight for the preservation of our achievements and especially to overcome 
national boundaries. Yep, bosses relocate today, but where they are of class struggles are 
born! It is time to internationalize our struggles as it happens around the world affects 
us here and we must make the soil of our future fights!
