Messages other anticapitalist organizations were sent to delegates or read directly by

On the Alternatives and self-management (A & A) ---- Es Dear Comrades, ---- We thank you
for your invitation fraternally, we welcome your conference and its delegates es and are
sorry we can not be. ---- Many of you already know that Alternative, by a vote far from
being "Stalinist", decided to dissolve into "Together" as did the GA. ---- We had
prudently anticipated this been a political choice and profit association "Self-Management
and Alternatives" badged "A & A" ---- For us it is a period of turbulence and
reconstruction. We must pick up the pieces and restart a democratic and cohesive internal
function.
You will therefore understand, we still difficult, honesty to express a political line as
a collective perfectly and democratically constituted.
However if we exist is that:
Some of us do not analysis "Together" is THE single political proposal, unifying and cross
the political landscape.
It's already that we observe the emergence of a Spokesperson's Office too personal that is
not in our design
Is that we want to maintain a line and a culture "cross" of ideas and struggles and thus
remain open to political combat forms present and future.
Is that we remain deeply self-management.
Is that we analyze that we lost a lot of strength in the electoral battle.
Already our will is displayed. "A & A" has released a first No. of our newspaper:. NRVV
? Black for self, experimentation and alternative practices. Red for social justice,
solidarity and equality Green for radical ecology, anti-productivism and growth objection.
Purple for feminism, anti-sexism and anti-racism.
Now it's in our practices and struggles that we will take them!
Now, we can affirm our commitment to strengthen our ties, our collaboration and
échanges.Comme in anti-fascist struggles or fairs Self-management. See you soon, in the
struggles and debates. All our best wishes for your congress.
Provisional Coordination of Self-Management & Alternatives
Coordination of anarchist groups (CGA)
Coordination of Anarchist Groups address his libertarian greetings to the participants of
Alternative Libertaire and wish you good work.
The current political period is characterized, amid global economic crisis, an
acceleration of government and employer attacks on all fronts.
Major social setbacks for the benefit of capital, attacks on freedoms and ideological
offensive are some of the main features. The reactionary and fascist movements
(nationalist or religious) benefit from this context and now seek to impose their
ideological mark, both in the minds than in street mobilizations. Not content to occupy
their strong traditional field of defense of the moral order (mobilization against
marriage for all, school days withdrawal), they attempt to influence or even to boost
social mobilizations to claim as with the "day of anger" or when mobilizations red caps.
Speeches and racist, sexist and LGBTphobes increase and become commonplace. The extreme
right via the FN continues to grow and its electoral anchor. The political landscape has
strongly droitisé the FN speech that made scandal 20 years ago are now taken over by the PS
Faced with this, the whole "progressive" camp seems unable to respond, bad blows rained
but the reactions are rare and very minority. When Macron law dismantles the code a little
more work, it is the corporatist mobilizations (taxis, tobacco managers, bailiffs,
pharmacists, doctors) who are first hear! The late reaction of the union on April 9,
certainly comforting, remains without a future...
Beyond the traditional paralysis of part of the labor movement when the left is in power,
it seems stunned and no real mobilization capacity. The liberal ideological offensive
suffered for over 3 decades combined with the absence of mass social mobilizations winning
best since 2006 partly explain this. Sometimes winning existing mobilisations are often
defensive and limited scale of a business.
In the political field the PS and the parliamentary left that share the broad guidelines
of capitalism discredited for many. But no progressive option emerges reformist or
revolutionary release. All organizations in this field, including libertarians, undergoes
erosion and difficulties, just to project. The absence of unifying mobilizations
crystallizes internal disagreements and questions the strategies. The de-federations that
our organization has undergone in the first quarter of 2015 reveal that context that we
know, more or less strongly affects everyone.
The conference we held last April confirmed our conceptions of anarchism a popular part of
the social struggles, acting against all oppressions -economic, racism, patriarchal. An
anarchist who promotes in his libertarian communist project as in the struggles, tools
(self-management, direct democracy, federalism) in opposition to the delegation of power
and electioneering.
However, meeting the challenges and difficulties, we are aware es we have no "solution" or
"the" good option. We are tent-e-es to say, the other libertarian organizations nor do we.
Also, it seems that the libertarian movement needs but serene debate pushed our
convergences and divergences in order to foster unity of action when possible but also the
exchange, confrontation of ideas or even the common policy developed. For example,
collective work cravings between libertarian unionists emerged at our convention.
We must soon take a further review of the CLAF but whatever our conclusions on this theme,
the work between our organizations on clear bases remains important for us.
Gard section of the New Anti-Capitalist Party
We thank you for the invitation to attend your conference, you have addressed to the NPA,
It is a pity that the national NPA is not present at your conference. But we are far from
Paris, and bad habits die hard. We're sorry, but no one could break free.
In Gard, for quite some time, the NPA and AL have become accustomed to campaign together:
It goes well, politically and also friendly.
This resulted in the creation, with the CNT and the FA to RAAGe, because early in NPA Gard
we understood the whole point of anticapitalist Fronts offered by AL. Thus, we have made
every effort, there are already more than a year, so that it opens as soon as possible: We
are very satisfied with the first steps of RAAGe and we are certain, this Network will
rapidly grow and represent for many people, a truly revolutionary alternative,
anti-capitalist and self-management.
At our last convention, a motion with the creation of FAK priority was unfortunately
delayed and we regretted that decision because in Gard, we have voted. However this does
not mean that the national NPA would be against, but just think other tasks are more
important. Here in the Gard on the contrary we believe the urgency of FAK: the NPA is
different, we do with.
Beyond the currents within the NPA, in the Gard, we made the choice of a policy clearly at
odds with the ambiguities of the "left of the left", including that the FdG, to display a
clear revolutionary line and anticapitalist. Hence the RAAGe.
However, we also follow what the FdG, within the collective 3A and elsewhere. We work
together when possible. But we refuse to train workers on illusory paths and bearers of
tomorrows disillusioned, particularly electorally. Thus, for example, we consider Syriza
and Podemos are alternatives that open up horizons for European peoples. And it is out of
question for us to scratch the stroke of a pen to lack of "purism". However, follow these
processes, keeping our critical spirit. The revolutionary policy is pragmatic, especially
when the workers camp records losses on losses for too long
You are as we revolutionary communists, and that's why we can work together despite our
differences.
From the proletarian OCML-Way
OCML-VP address Alternative Libertaire on the occasion of the XII Congress
To begin, we thank you for your invitation and wish you a good conference. This may seem
unlikely to some that a Maoist organization is present at a congress of a libertarian
organization. If we for our part have accepted the invitation is that we believe it is
important to create and develop relationships with the progressive and revolutionary
groups in France, despite political and ideological differences and without sectarianism.
The political and social situation in France since the accession to power of the PS has
deteriorated.
All azimuth they attack our rights. Indeed, the Netherlands, is not what he can deal with
the crisis, it applies the PS at the service of capital policy. He is a loyal defender of
imperialism! Against the illusions of the "least worst", we say that there can not manage
capitalism with a human face. As more and more advance it is worse! To ensure its
hegemony, and harden the operating, capital reinforces the repressive and brutal power of
the bourgeois state, showing a little more his character class dictatorship as we have
seen with the deployment of Vigipirate, and Sivens Rémi Fraisse's assassination or the law
on intelligence. The chauvinist and nationalist ideology is supported by Holland and his
government. The systematic racist attacks against Roma, Muslims, Arabs etc. needed to
conduct this global anti-racist struggle.
As a party of the bourgeoisie, the PS leads the attack against all the exploited workers.
It is our main enemy. The fight against fascism, racism and the reaction is not done first
by the ideological struggle against the extreme right anti-fascism nor the only street but
also by the revolutionary struggle against the political hegemony, economic and
ideological capital. Working in business remains our priority without underestimating our
other tasks. Our organization wants to build in the working class and the proletariat.
Where she works, where she lives and in collectives of popular struggle. In factories,
neighborhoods and popular cities in the workers' and popular struggles we defend workers
interests through. That is to say, wear claims, fight battles that build the unity of the
working class, without fear of being against the tide of prejudice that may be existing in
the class itself: chauvinism, sexism, Homophobia and transphobia... This means to define
policies that, in forms more or less camouflaged, propagate conciliation with the
interests of French imperialism.
Although we campaign in France, while our political work has an internationalist content.
The principle of popular solidarity can not stop at the borders of a country or continent.
Economically, companies do most of their profits overseas. Politically, the weight of our
governments rests on that of their armies and shows of force in the world. Be
internationalist, it is also politically support the revolutionary organizations who are
fighting in their countries for national and social liberation.
Ignore this de facto solidarity between proletarians and oppressed peoples is incurring
all our defeats against imperialism. One of our main lines is also the support and defense
of progressive and revolutionary prisoners, these prisoners anarchists, communists,
anti-imperialist and anti-fascist. This is the case of Georges Abdallah comrade locked up
in France since 1984. We urge you to strengthen this campaign. But we are not alone in
wanting to build a revolutionary opposition. To live our revolutionary policy at the heart
of resistance, sometimes we face with other forces, on clear bases, as is the case in some
cities with AL. This front working with other forces takes place in our mass work (trade
unions, associations, collectives) and political work at the scale of a city. However,
debates and disagreements remain between us and rightly so.
On how to achieve a classless society without State, on self, on our appreciation of
"Democratic Confederalism" on feminism and many other subjects. But it is in debate and
political confrontation that forges unity. Again thank you for your invitation and have a
good conference and good works.
