EDITORIAL - On behalf of the worse!
In a democracy, policing is achieved by the more or less voluntary consent of the majority
of the population and by force to the rebellious minority. In dictatorship or consensus or
rebellion: strength is the law is the order for everyone and, hence, the majority is
potentially in opposition, albeit latent and clandestinely. That's where the problem
democratic social compromise that validates draconian laws for what has become a common
good: security. Equality and fraternity, it will take a while! It is the Prime Minister,
leader of the Socialist government, which says: "We must be increasingly monitored if we
want to be protected."
But what we do we protect? Three wars outdoors in less than three years with predictable
collateral damage, that's what "might" endanger us, it made us believe for just distill
fear and submit some more. Supposedly the world's policemen, in fact classical imperialist
plunder continuing to half the planet, our leaders, from all sides but in the same class,
only know war, targeted assassinations to fight against designated enemies of the day
after have been strategic allies. And we see that the most immediate danger populations
who risk their lives every day, suffering the ravages of war (violence, destruction,
famine, exodus, exile ...) are not here in societies democratically put under
surveillance. Yet the state is watching the pretext of ensuring security. "Security of
whom? "Asked a resident of Genoa, the area had been turned into militarized super bunker
at the G8 summit bringing together representatives of the most industrialized countries in
2002.
In fact, the daily insecurity in capitalist countries is an everyday against the poor, the
exploited class-es and it is not the fact of external elements but banal government and
employers brandishing austerity as a miracle cure to their financial crisis that is not a
just an adjustment variable to clean up their own market and enrich more. Social peace is
an illusion when the number of people without stable and sufficiently paid employment is
constantly increasing despite the radiation office to reverse the unemployment curve.
Insecurity is for everyday that has no guaranteed housing, thank you of imminent eviction;
who does not have the necessary papers, to moonlighting shareholder thank you; who can not
afford to be dignified care in care services more and more privatized and expensive; and
the list is endless of this precariousness that submits the lowest and also all those who
have only their labor power to survive; blackmail is permanent, the threat is real to lose
it overnight minimum necessary for life.
Deprivation direct access to organizations distil their meager subsidies such as family
allowances, reimbursements care, unemployment benefits, etc. is a radical form of
exclusion of the most disadvantaged people. It will now be fully integrated into the
modern world with the appropriate tools (Internet, mobile phone ...) or disappear. For
these threats everyday work and annihilate any hint of resistance, it is necessary for
society atomizes the individual-es, isolates. This is the basic principle of individual
freedom as touted by advocates of democracy; Indeed, the basis of the constitutions, the
central idea of democracy state that human beings are born free and equal to others,
thereby granting him personal rights when in fact it is about maintaining the isolated his
rights and his duties to the entire society.
The most obvious example is the election booth. When the very survival is questioned, the
argument that works is the search and appointment of scapegoats; that very well knows how
extreme political right but does not deny the ruling class and its media. Immigration
concentrated in short all the evils like, staying between "us", social services would
develop, the public hospital strengthen its capacities, employers hire a vengeance, owners
of cheap rent renovated housing, culture become a public service accessible to everyone,
etc. What seems not to disturb the democratic governments is to make multiple departures
from the basic rights, including, in particular, to express themselves freely.
For this they are acting on behalf of a hazard that, in fact, threatens them with the risk
of ending this peaceful society controlled. There are only prohibited more or less
consensual and to protect the interests of dominant, that laws are a reminder to the more
recalcitrant es. We can not consider credible that the state will appear to fight against
"terror"; it is itself which supplies the means, uses the pretext of practice. If the
State has a monopoly of terrorism is that it is the only one to define the contours; it is
he who decides who is a terrorist and who is not or more: when it is militarily outside
its borders, he says it is against terrorists; when use of lethal weapons inside the
country is to protect society ... The military-police logic / security that prevails today
on all subjects and in all fields goes beyond the strict defense of public order. It is a
way to manage a company, a mode of governance. And it tends to spread and succeeded in the
whole society of mistrust ferments, suspicion, hatred and tuck. Faced with this, the
weapons that we can and must oppose are class solidarity and social and political
criticism, expressed in collective actions.
