Editorial
"It is a category of people who, if they do not believe, must at least pretend to believe.
These are all the tormentors, all the oppressors and exploiters of all humanity.»
Michael Bakunin. God and the State. 1882.
Since the attacks in January, calls for the restoration of "republican order" are
available in all the fields of action of the State. Whether it is about the school or
justice, government or popular cities, everything is good to the left to rebuild by using
a rhetorical interspersing nationalism, xenophobia and celebration of "National
Community". It is true that at the point where it is, there is no reason to turn the left
do some crunches ... She believes this time have obtained the right of citizenship among
those whose will almost not face the danger from which he comes. In many occasions,
however she had given pledges in this area, but his efforts were never convinced his
peers. Some doubt. Laxity which have often lampooned during these last decades now under
the ancient history and there is a real catharsis.
This exaltation of national feeling of belonging to the community at a high price for
those wrongly or rightly suspected that matter, not to taste the jingoistic unanimity.
Particularly for groups of people, whatever they undertake to escape, will be
systematically returned to the place that has been assigned to them by the colonial
history of the French republic. The latest statements of Valls about the links that would
weave between the State and the inhabitants of the popular districts remind us once again.
His deliberately paradoxical about associating a "population policy" to "the fight against
ghettoization, social apartheid, territorial and ethnic" oozes colonialism and tells us
how the "theater" does not take place at the across borders. The multiplication of racist
acts of all kinds, in recent weeks is precisely its development in the exacerbation of
official discourse stigmatizing.
The false controversy reopened purposely between Valls and Holland around collecting
ethno-racial data says it all the hypocrisy that reigns left on the subject and to the top
of the state. If Holland was against the constitution of ethnic files, it is common
knowledge that wild practices are courante1 currency. Social landlords use it, with the
consent of mayors who sometimes admit and justify it as a condition of maintaining social
peace in the cities they dirigent2. Moreover, the series of government measures to
introduce the "social mix" in some jurisdictions actually accelerate the destruction of
allegedly substandard housing. This will ensure that relegation are undesirable
populations and ownership of coveted spaces in the context of more lucrative urban
development projects. This is no longer a discovery behind the policy of "social mix" at
first conceals that of gentrification.
It was in this climate that the "communitarianism", the other, of course, is found
designated by the people of power as the germ of the evils of a society in a state of
decomposition. And this is timely because we left the trade when it comes to divide those
whose sole interest is to show solidarity to resist the attacks of the bosses and their
politicians. That one only remembers Pierre Mauroy, then Premier of Mitterand and with it
Deferre Gaston and Jean Auroux, interior ministers and denouncing all three working at the
time of striking workers Citroën factories as manipulated by Islamists . If we are no
longer in the same period, it is always the social question that politicians no
alternative, no crumbs to distribute, attempt to neutralize. Just why they agitate and
exacerbate from time to time cleaving pretexts as the "veil" it a few years from
populations already disoriented ... And let's face it, for the moment, they have beautiful
game and meet them face little resistance. A fortiori when, as a response to racism of
State, some activists have come together to address the least equivocal as requalification
fashionable in some circles of anti-racism and anti-Maghrebi Arabic "Islamophobia".
What is there surprising in that when in a period like ours the most basic class
benchmarks have almost everywhere shattered? The problem with the use of the concept of
"Islamophobia", supposed to be understood as both a dislike and fear of the Muslim
religion is that it assigns a de facto religious intention to entire populations for mean
racism and xenophobia. Recently in Lille, the manifestation of the "United Front of
Immigrations and Popular Neighborhoods" proclaimed in the street: "We are all blacks,
Arabs, Muslims and Roma." A bit simplistic, right? Origin can be "Maghreb", "Arab",
"black", "rrom" or whatever else you want, and do not systematically identify with any
religion whatsoever. By cons, it is certain that we suffer every day the most violent
racism by cops, bosses, administration and small head, because we will, moreover: poor,
worker, employee, unemployed or young in this class society.
But above all, one has the feeling of attending a game disorder minefield where crafty
probably expect to reap the dividends of their collusion with reactionary pharmacies. Need
I remind you that even if religion has appeared to some as "the soul of a heartless
world," the class struggle, she is carried in solidarity between equals. It notes in no
case compassion that would betray a sense of guilt mixed with paternalism toward those who
practice according to a common terminology as unhappy "religion of the dominated."
Stalinists always extiers- worlders Trotskyists dormant, prospectors "new subject of
history" and even libertarians ... they are some for some time left, by calculation and /
or opportunism, which not reluctant to sign alongside members of the religious right group
for ethnodifférentialistes logic.
If in our struggle against the state and racism we do not negotiate nor are conditioning
our solidarity, we should not forget is that religion is by no means a "private matter".
Its function was still exercising a strict control of the body. If he still had to prove
it, note that on March 9, five representatives of the three monotheistic religions have
agreed as one man signing a call to reject the bill on the end of life.
In this difficult time, try to wear in the upcoming mobilizations and class bases
perspectives that are ours; finally those of a society free of exploitation and domination
in all its forms, those of communism.
