Ayrault, Holland and Gattaz deserve resolute opposition of those who fight capitalism
everyday. However, the question is which to build, with whom and how. While social
movement is struck weakness, the central issue is that of remobilization: the choice of
the street is necessary. ---- A large anti-capitalist movement and self-management, that's
what, Libertarian Alternative, it is urgent to get on track. And let's be clear, it is not
easy. However, the reasons that argue in favor of this view are not lacking. ---- There
first, of course, unacceptable antisocial policy briskly government Holland
Ayrault-Gattaz: expulsions of undocumented migrants, stigmatization of Roma, beatings at
Notre-Dame-des-Landes and intolerable to decline reactionary protests... As for the last
gifts dated MEDEF, the "pact of responsibility" (which is more supported by the reformist
unions, CFDT, CFTC and CGC), it will allow employers to pocket EUR 30 billion while
layoffs are increasing and insecurity continues to grow. PS, at the helm today as it was
from 1981 to 1993 and from 1997 to 2002, has not "waived" its promises: it has long been
really rallied, body and soul, to the camp dominant!
This anti-social policies, it is unfortunately the extreme right feeds. If we add to the
success of the "demos for all", "days of rage", the "anti-system" Dieudonn? posture... one
brown cocktail that allows the F-Haine overflow urns obtained.
What is "hope left"?
Faced with this, the camp operated es-es and oppressed is, for now, still marked by the
wait. The general strike of March 18 was far from a tidal wave. It can however announce
the return of militancy. For Alternative libertarian who chose to participate actively,
the national demonstration on April 12 against austerity, equality and sharing of wealth
(see cons), can be a part of this remobilization and to bridge figure between March 18 and
May 1, preparation of a struggle. But on April 12, beyond the need to resume the street,
posing once again the question of strategies used to change society. In fact, two poles
will deploy: one polarized by the Left Front, the other anti-capitalist, carrying a
dynamic rupture.
Today we say that the parties of the Left Front? With some minor differences, the same
thing: finally be a "true" left-wing politics. If it is expected that in Holland, where
there is a hopeless and apparent lack of clarity on the actual nature of the PS, the party
that has no other purpose than to wallow in collaboration class. But to still give it
body, parties of the Left Front support this unlikely "real change" on a self-surpassing
the plan in "the" miracle solution: a Sixth Republic. Just knowing that Montebourg was an
ardent proponent should naturally incline to mistrust. On the merits, it is believed (and
believe) that there would be an ideal Republic, floating above class interests. Whereas,
on the contrary, because they monopolize the means of production, the capitalists hold the
keys of state power... and that since the bourgeois republic exists.
"Anti-austerity government"
The side of the anti-capitalist and revolutionary, strategic proposals are varied.
Doctrinaire for LO who thinks and acts only in the "interests of the Party", they are
sometimes contradictory in terms of the NPA. It has changed since its inception in 2009.
NPA would then be the only place where all must come together and all the anti-capitalist.
At the same time, he still gambergeait the direction "100% left" that had led to the
"success" of the candidacy Besancenot. Since then, those who had invested the most
electoral orientation founded the anti-capitalist Left (GA) and jumped ship to join the
Left Front.
Today, the NPA is taking a "left opposition" to the government line. Note the open drag
the Left Party (PG) which is connected these days on the same word. But last November, the
NPA also evoked the prospect of a government "anti-austerity"... which one would be hard
pressed to distinguish any contours. Was it bouncing on the joke that M?lenchon proposed
as Prime Minister? The NPA has he really believed in a scenario "to Tsipras"[1]? In any
case, as the advent of a Sixth Republic, the "anti-austerity government" is far from the
agenda and we do not really see the need for revolutionaries, of to promote it. Remains
the question of what class opposition build?
Build against-powers!
For libertarian communists, it is surely not to play on the institutional terrain. For us,
if there is any left to raise is that of the street, which marched on March 18, which will
scroll and scroll April 12 May 1. Our priority is given to social struggles, the most
massive and self-organized as possible. For us there popularize claims out as, for
example, the veto of workers on layoffs that challenges capitalist power in the company.
In 2007, Alternative libertarian advancing the objective of creating anti-capitalist
fronts: whether the creation of the NPA and the Left Front have been so difficult to make
this attractive proposal today cards are reshuffled. In several cities (Nantes, Toulouse,
Orleans...) such anti-capitalist groups have hatched. They allow to act together (which is
not already there), it is now not only to make and without replacing the social movement,
places of trade but also development extra-social practices, self-management. Because they
will be more credible our willingness to break with capitalism, it is against the
construction of such powers-that must now be initiated.
