(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL - Anticapitalist
fronts, for what? (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
The idea is to create front unit managers (collectives, networks, coordination meetings,
regardless of the name, it is not a trademark) in cities and neighborhoods uniting all
those who want to fight back generally attacks the government and the MEDEF, they / they
are organized or no-es and want to do it on an anti-capitalist basis. ---- Given the
gravity and the multiple attacks, it is necessary to avoid fragmentation and build around
flexible combinations that aims to globally respond to these attacks. ---- Gossips may see
tote structures, but in reality, it is the only way to avoid the division of forces,
dispersion which is the government's game and it's a way to be more r?actif- ves to avoid
competition between mobilizations on fronts of struggle that would benefit from
converging. This is the pledge of greater efficiency. The idea of anti-capitalist
resistance allows to put forward the idea of frontal opposition to capitalist politics.
But it also provides a clear naming policy making system and therefore to accurately
identify its class character.
What anticapitalist fronts for what purpose?
Body resistance, support and popularization of struggles, the anti-capitalist front was
also fighting for an anti-capitalist alternative and, we hope, self-management in today's
society.
This means that the anti-capitalist front is a place for debate to popularize emergency
measures but also transitional measures, notably from requisition shares (empty housing,
hiring, of dismissing enterprises, which close), recovery and redistribution of wealth. It
also aims to promote the development of popular education by reintroducing politics in
neighborhoods (eg via political cafes, cinemas or alternative crop against sites) and
encouraging the development of projects linking the social and political dimensions of
popular education.
This is a forum for debate and action that puts the issue of social transformation at the
heart of its efforts. The anti-capitalist front can be in every city the place of
convergence between political activists and activists of social movements, as well as
those who are not organized es. He does not oppose the social front resulting from the
convergence of self-organizing structures and social organizations (unions, associations,
networks), but complete. And this is a limited tool strategically aspiring to embody a
decidedly extra-parliamentary force, the first step in building a broad self-management
movement.
We see there are neither a panacea nor an end in itself, but a flexible formula to support
unity in diversity and pluralism with all those who fight against class oppression, gender
and racism and fight for social and political emancipation.
This unified framework will be what a es and others will do it, if he is in time and with
practice, reduce mistrust, misunderstanding and raise foster constructive political
debate. It can allow activists to build control tools and self-organization promoting the
development of political consciousness and mass mobilization, which is essential for
reducing ambient resignation strengthens the political and trade union bureaucracies, but
also the determination of capital.
It is also a tool to promote policies decantation and also the emergence of a political
movement that will bring together what there is the best of the current libertarian class
struggle, revolutionary Marxism, ecology and feminism. But it can also emerge in a
political radicalization help phase of popular assemblies incorporating both social and
political currents that all sectors of the population opposed to the capitalist system
like this has happened these recent years around the world (Chiapas Kurdistan ...).
Whatever the political form, it is good to build an extra-parliamentary force that has the
means to have a mass audience and embodies the more an anti-capitalist alternative,
revolutionary and self-management that relies mainly on the struggles and against
self-government.
The construction of an anti-capitalist forehead
Defend strategic direction is not to defend essentially propagandistic way, unless you
want to reduce politics to a form of incantatory speech.
The first task is to build wherever possible anticapitalist fronts, not only es but by
combining other forces and people in favor of this approach, with the aim that this is not
a simple cartel of organizations.
If we are working with activists and the forces which otherwise may have to participate in
elections, the anti-capitalist front approach is incompatible with an electoral type of
approach. And so it is outside this framework that those who make this choice will give
him free rein.
Finally, the anti-capitalist front would not be the site of a reconstruction or
construction of a new political organization which can legitimately claim some
organizations. If ultimately the federation at the national level of these local fronts
will be an issue, it is unthinkable, the views of the current state of the far left,
hoping to create a new political organization leaving out most of the anticapitalist.
We are not starting from scratch. In many cities, first contacts were made and fronts are
already formed. It is based on the successes, but also taking the measure of the
difficulties of this approach that we must now help to amplify the movement.
To get to build an anti-capitalist front, it is necessary that each organization has the
impulse constant concern to improve relations between the capitalist and revolutionary
forces acting to identify convergences without denying the differences, but without
freezing debates under the pretext of differences.
It does not have the obsession to score a political camp, which can lead to a sectarian
attitude, but rather not to face steer the discussions that everyone wants to wear.
Libertarian Alternative intends to reaffirm its commitment to building a non-sectarian
libertarian communist current, attached to pluralism and rejecting all forms of dogmatism.
