France, Organisation Communiste Libertarie (OCL) - July 25-August 5, 2014 - Libertarians Dating/Love 2014 - Eychenat (Ari?ge) (fr, pt)

Each year, the OCL organizes open to those interested in the topics chosen Dating. The 
idea is to enjoy the summer to share around these themes or militants investments that we 
have little time to discuss everyday. It is not much of a summer school where we listen 
the word. We want to provide a space for dialogue, exchange of formal as informal. The 
discussions are held "in the cool" to 21h, after the evening meal. Days offer wide ranges 
of free time that can allow to propose and organize further discussions, share experience, 
present a particular fight ... or visit the library, the library and press tables. ---- We 
are in a farm (livestock) which provides a local collective. This room has a history: it 
was created in the late 70s Coming out of experiences of community life and after 
installation in the Ariege to work the land, it seemed necessary to build a collective 
place. This building s' is done with the participation of many people (neighbors, people 
in the city and surrounding areas). These are young people of the city of Toulouse Mirail 
who inaugurated the local they they would spend their holidays in exchange for help around 
the farm. Since then, this place always used to initiatives by associations or shared 
activities (panel discussions, workshops ...) Libertarians meetings organized by the OCL 
held there for many years.

We have available a local comprising a kitchen, dining room, room for debate, toilets 
(showers, washbasins, WC) and meadow area to camp (tent provide only possible mode of 
housing). Not to interfere with daily farm work, parking for cars (other than camper) is 
available to ten minute walk. For the same reason dogs are unwelcome.

Daily life is collective: meals are taken in common and made by rotating teams. Every day, 
a team deals with races and two meals 13h and 19h according to a specific budget. A second 
team takes care of the dishes, clean sanitary facilities, meeting room and daily 
maintenance of the place. Without food, everyone does the dishes (especially morning and 
evening).

Rates for the three daily meals and operating costs of the place are based on income. They 
range from 5 to 20 euros / day for adults, and are 5 euros / day for children. For babies, 
the stay is free.

Register no later than the day of arrival by calling on site from 25 July to the following

Debates scheduled

Friday, July 25: early meetings, no debate

Saturday, July 26: Fight the Testet (+ + Morvan fight against industrial wind turbines) 
For several years, the dam project Sivens in Tarn, arouses strong citizen opposition. This 
project, primarily for intensive irrigation of corn, destroy if implemented the wetland 
Testet, instead of remarkable biodiversity (94 protected species live there). Active 
occupation of the land and the birth of the ZAD Testet end of 2013 marked a turning point 
in the struggle, and has yet to delay the start of work. When libertarian meetings 
Eychenat will be presented: The Ins and Outs economic and political project and the means 
implemented to fight!

Sunday, July 27: Fight for women, the end of the story? It would have been gained through 
legislation and we'd liberated from patriarchal yoke. But there is a malaise as to assert 
that the persistence of constraints against women. The inventory of our victories narrows 
to each of our defeats. What we have lost, for example: the feminist struggle is totally 
discredited; the staging of the female role is growing; the right to abortion is a 
misapplied tolerance ... You can say that we have lost the right to be different, to be 
happy and fulfilled without having to meet the "female" codes established by patriarchal 
society; we also lost the political support of men who feel a little concerned with 
women's struggle decaying politically that no longer poses the question of female 
servitude. What is lost is the same principle of liberation, the foundation of feminist 
revolt; Today it seems that everything is suitable, nothing must disrupt, time is no 
longer the radical demands ... yet!

Monday 28: The struggles within Europe we have a problem: there is a European capitalist 
space, very large harmful projects at European level, a European project to dismantle 
social benefits whatsoever in terms of social protection, public services, social rights 
or wages, current EU treaties or project to better criminalize and crush our struggles ... 
and, by contrast, there is no European struggles itself. Deadlines are not the same from 
one country to another, solidarity was already struggling to exist in the national 
framework: the priorities are not the same, our cultural references remain national. In 
short, internationalism has trouble moving beyond the proclamation. There are certainly 
some attempts structuring European (No Tav, No Border ...), but they are limited. Is it 
possible to establish relationships struggles to struggles at European level? How can we 
address this aspect of social and political mobilization?

Tuesday 29: business and social situation Struggles Two years after returning from the 
left, it floats in the air a sweet fragrance of class struggles. Although talk of "crisis" 
not looping on the antennae, as most financial markets have regained their levels of early 
2009, even had some notable performances, yet it is today that its social effects begin to 
appear in all their brutality. The crisis of capitalism which previously existed mainly in 
the public jousting between financial actors, politicians, editors and other "experts" 
materializes and restructuring resulting reveals its true nature explosion of unemployment 
and fear for those who still have a job to lose, impoverishment of the working class and 
"middle" work intensification and general insecurity. There has accordingly there has been 
a significant resurgence of struggles denied scathing discourse on voluntary servitude and 
general anesthesia. Through discussion with the presence of participants considered 
conflicts of the past year we try to make a critical assessment of them based on questions 
that will fuel the debate: is there a typology of these struggles ?, what are the means of 
mobilization of the class?, what roles and functions played unions? and the far left in 
this story? What are the prospects for the near future?

Wednesday 30: What do politics today? It is already playing politics with our environment 
whatsoever! But what is politics? This debate is closely linked to the social situation 
and the analysis that we do. We are part of the class struggle by trying to make proposals 
and debates to help them obviously partial victory. Themes to dig seem important: the 
suffering at work and its corollary anti-hierarchical control, concrete class solidarities 
and fundamental critique of wage labor without ever forgetting that capitalism can not be 
reformed, but to destroy ...

Thursday 31: film "Gabes Labess" "Gabes Labess" (All is well in Gabes) questions the 
current development models focusing on the oasis of Gabes, the only coastal oasis in the 
world. What was once considered "the paradise of the world" has been transformed into an 
economic, social and ecological disaster, by construction, in the 1970s, a chemical 
industrial complex which has deprived local farmers of their water, their arable land, 
their economic well-being and dignity. Interviews with residents of Gabes reflect multiple 
difficulties and problems they face: pollution of water, air, land and sea; reduction of 
arable land and water resources; increase in serious diseases (osteoporosis, cancer, 
allergies), and gradual extinction of an exceptional social and ecological heritage. 
"Gabes Labess" is a cry, a call to action before it is too late ...

Friday, August 1: The Revolution in Tunisia and Egypt between Hopes and Failures: From the 
Fall of the dictatorships in Victory Contraindications Revolutions Three and a half years 
after the fall of dictatorships in Tunisia and Egypt, there is a policy change that 
hesitates between, on the one hand, a process of political reform in the same system 
inherited Bourguiba and Ben Ali (new constitution guaranteeing fundamental freedoms but 
continued liberal economic policies) and, secondly, a cycle of violence and bloody 
repression in Egypt (military coup against the power of the Muslim Brotherhood and 
adoption of a new constitution and several laws that restrict political and civil 
liberties). In both cases, there is a cons-revolution led by social classes and interest 
groups that have been mobilized since the aftermath of January and February 2011 to 
protect their interests and privileges and to recover political power , even to make 
certain concessions that do not seem them too expensive. If we must recognize the obvious 
opening some new areas of rights and freedoms, it is no less clear that the social and 
economic rights were simply ignored. And populations and poor and / or marginalized 
classes, which were originally revolutionary processes in the two countries are almost 
totally excluded "benefits" of the revolution which they have been "dispossessed." The 
contribution of Habib attempt to revisit the long revolutionary process in Tunisia and 
Egypt to highlight the strength of the revolution and against the power of the dominant 
classes and groups.

Saturday, August 2: Kurdistan (subject)

Sunday, August 3: Penal Reform

Monday, August 4: Asylum To profile a new reform of the asylum. Under the guise of 
fighting against the abuse of process by alleged "bogus refugees", the state is poised to 
move up a gear in restriction of movement, brought under control and confinement. The bill 
will be considered next fall and proposes to generalize to new forms of arrest against 
asylum seekers, and strengthens their shelved society. (See forthcoming article in July 
Alternate Current) In this context, we will also analyze the struggles of immigration for 
ten years, marked by the development of the Network Education Without Borders and the 
weakening of collectives undocumented.
