union is a farce (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
The massacre at the offices of Charlie Hebdo and anti-Semitic murders committed during the
hostage-taking in a kosher supermarket are despicable acts, to condemn without
reservation. We fight the fanatics of all stripes who attempt to impose their ideas and
enclose smoking society in the shackles of religion, whatever the prophet. But we also
fight racist hatred is spreading and we will not let ourselves sucked in the masquerade of
"national unity" to politicians sides or leaders who stir up hatred, prepare to justify
new draconian laws and nurture a climate of war. ---- The emotional shock is immense, and
we think in the first place to the relatives of the victims. Since there is no doubt about
the fact that this carnage is the work of religious fascists, we denounce once again the
deadly illusions fanatics who dream of subject the company to religion. We will continue
to fight all forms of fascism, they wrap themselves in the Jewish, Christian, Muslim or
otherwise. But we also condemn all acts of violence that Islamophobic begin to be
committed under "retaliation".
All against fascism, whether nationalist or religious!
Sadness and anger are indeed much stronger than we know will enjoy this crime. This
terrible event will burden the racist climate in which already immersed in French society.
It brings water to the mill of reactionary politicians and writers who hold forth
endlessly about the alleged "clash of civilizations" and spew their hatred of the Muslim
day-es-es and abroad.

National unity: a wide masquerade
Libertarian alternative is engaged in the struggle against all reactionary forces. But
this struggle can not be conducted as part of a "national unity" dummy, with politicians
who, right and left, have stirred up hatred and are partly responsible for the current
chaos because they have supported the development of armed Islamist forces for various
geostrategic reasons since the 1980s, because they led or supported disastrous military
interventions in Africa and the Middle East, for imperialist reasons, because they close
the borders and those those trying to flee the hell across the Mediterranean, because
they maintain the stigmatization of migrant workers and their children, especially when
they are supposed to Muslims.
The emotion and anger should be expressed but the call to the sacred union may be the
pretext, under the guise of counter-terrorism, worsening of draconian laws and the
installation of a climate of war . And the arrival of Viktor Orban (authoritarian Prime
Minister of Hungary) or Benjamin Netanyahu confirms these fears!
