The 29 and 30 November will be held in Lyon on Fifteenth Congress of the National Front.
On 29 November, we will demonstrate in the streets of Lyon alongside the signatories of
the appeal "Unite and take action on the far right" because there is no question that we
let this anti-social party meet to prepare quietly the conquest of power. ---- The stakes
are high: while the PS daily demonstrates his contempt for the working class people and
loyalty to employers, the FN, whose word is complacently relayed by the national media,
has become the first opponent to power site. But if the National Front progresses at the
polls and minds, it is not because he changed his business background, it is because the
UMP and the PS, in a dramatic race to dredge before the 'FN electorate, have continued to
take on board large parts of the discourse of the extreme right.
By staging the hunt for undocumented multiplying security laws in relentlessly repressing
social movements and consistently pointing to the same scapegoats (the unemployed-its,
foreign-es, the Muslim-es, the Roma, etc.), the dominant political class encouraged the
spread of ideas of the extreme right. Moreover, multiplying gifts for employers and
austerity measures for the popular classes, successive governments, that they are right or
"socialist", rolled out the blue-white-red carpet at the National Front, which is reaping
the fruits of despair.
At the same time, the huge communication operation overseen by Marine Le Pen has allowed
the National Front's image smoothing to prepare his conquest of power. But we are not
fooled by this strategy behind the smiles and the social veneer, the National Front
remains the center of gravity and the electoral spearhead of extreme right racist,
homophobic, macho, authoritarian and deeply reactionary ; extreme right violent assaults
and multiplying advocates police repression in poor neighborhoods; extreme antisocial
right that completely adheres to the capitalist system.
By diverting popular anger against false enemies and dividing the working class people of
the camp, the wealthy dynasty Le Pen is indeed clear the game capitalists and posture
"anti-system" qu'affectent speakers of the extreme right should fool anyone: the solution
"patriot" they claim to offer the crisis is only a national variant of capitalism. But
capitalism "Made in France" is no less intolerable that global capitalism and only not
because the boss is French because the exploitation is softer.
Faced with this, we have to be up to the challenges if we do not want a padlocked society
and retrograde, it's up to us to take things in hand. Anticapitalist, we believe that the
best way to combat the extreme right is to offer a different vision of society and respond
to the precariousness of class solidarity. This is not possible by building a "republican
front" that effectively fight against the FN is starting afresh basic concerns and
imposing, for the social struggle, concrete demands. If we do not want to continue see the
extreme right pounding the pavement, we must regain lost ground by developing actions of
solidarity and support in our neighborhoods, strengthening against powers and resistance
areas. If we want to prove that another society is possible, it is now that we must begin
to build!
