Italy, Federazione dei Comunisti Anarchici FdC A - TO THE GENERAL STRIKE AND SOCIAL IN THE WORLD OF WORK, IN THE TERRITORIES, SQUARES (it)

UNITY IN STRUGGLE, unity in opposition, UNITY IN RECONSTRUCTION OF FREEDOM AND SOCIAL 
RIGHTS ---- Predictably assurances spread and propagated by the handful of politicians, 
businessmen, financiers and Confindustria the chance to recover from what was called the 
crisis proved to be a colossal lie. ---- With a cumbersome task of screening media in the 
name of "we need to reduce the public debt" or "we need to break down the Fees", "Europe 
asks us", "we must respect the constraints imposed on the deficit", we proceeded with the 
cancellation almost total workers' rights. ---- Sacrificed on the altar of profit of the 
few and mortgaged any future, what we expect will be a misery becoming increasingly common 
in the coming decades; you can never go back to the previous standard of living, the 
restructuring of capital in place does not provide any exchange on the level of 
commodification of workers to the lowest bidder, close to slavery, bent to the blackmail 
of the most violent competition among the poor.

The Jobs Act is nothing more than an attempt to break those final pockets of resistance 
that still stand in solidarity trade union, break the link social workers and put them in 
a position of not being able to negotiate collectively their social conditions, 
jeopardizing the relationship union -lavoratore, removing the latter's role in 
safeguarding a union bureaucracy accomplice of the choices of capital.

Today, the streets are filled with workers who have never abdicated! This is confirmed by 
the demonstrations and national strikes in schools and against the Jobs Act (17 September 
10 October 24 October and 25 October, November 14, ...), logistics (16 October), the bars 
(metal workers in Turin October 17, Bologna, October 16 ...).

With the difficulties that the attack creates the main trade union organization, 
therefore, we respond with our ability to mobilize, knowing that building a balance of 
power favorable to our class goes through a long and meticulous, bottom, struggles to 
reconnect and experiences, get to work the intelligence and the will of all in order to 
reconstruct the participation of employees broken down into too many sectors.

But we know that will not be the government to solve the problems of the workers. Those 
who are now sitting on the benches of parliament can not be the solution to social 
problems that have contributed to the outbreak; the European political class, poor and 
arraffona, is an expression of big business, in the process of restructuring and aware 
that the levels of accumulation are guaranteed by force against the workers.

Millions of unemployed, underemployed, blackmailed, the poor are the picture of a Europe 
overwhelmed by the violence of the capitalist crisis, there is no sign saviors on the 
horizon and I hope even the witches' needs.

Once again it's up to the men and women who suffer from this crisis to build the political 
and trade union to defend the working class. The arrogance of power can no longer hide 
behind charitable donations that you want to replace universal rights: it is under 
everybody's eyes now, in fact, this class of politicians and businessmen now laid bare, 
and those who still cultivates reserves at all on those who expected to find in the 
friendly government the ability to save the appearance of the function of the trade union 
bureaucracy weigh the facts in their denial.

Today, after the tragedy resulted from the law Fornero Monti's government on labor 
sentence to life for employees and for life to the exclusion from the labor of millions of 
young people (law passed by the same political class that now sits on the benches Golden 
parliament), after which a class bureaucratic union not suitable for this level of 
conflict has abdicated to the fight, yet the workers, the youth, the unemployed, the lower 
classes who takes to the road in the streets and squares all over Europe to create 
conflict and give hope in a response of solidarity and egalitarian, democratic and 
libertarian, as always, is the commitment of all in the first person that can change the 
existing state of things. And certainly not a bureaucratic and political class discredited 
and useless to today's challenges of European workers.

The Jobs Act, the Stability Pact, the "good school renziana" and social policies of this 
government can not be changed; you can not create illusions and sell for good social 
mediations unacceptable.

The revival of the class struggle also involves the struggle against the governments of 
the financial oligarchy, and therefore also against the government Renzi. In the workplace 
and in the territories, welding the different subjectivities and generations in a global 
mobilization, valuing diversity in the trade union syndicalism, accumulating ability to 
fight and planning from below, to build the libertarian alternative.

Towards the general strike and social world of work, in the territories, in the squares. 
Unity in the struggle, unity in opposition, unity in the social reconstruction of the 
freedoms and rights.
