Seave the euro: the last pitch in fashion (fr, it, pt) [machine
translation] (a-infos-en@ainfos.ca)
It's the latest fad in fashion in some statist left: low euro! We must get out of the
euro! Unite - sovereignists right and the left - under the banner of the French franc!
Technocrats new-look National Front triumph.. ---- The idea has now spread to the left, to
the exit of the euro not only an issue.. but an end in itself. The exit from the euro
would have become the first condition of any changes! ---- This speech is dangerous. Not
only retracts the only way to break with the capitalist system, the socialization of
production and exchange means, but it also lends credibility to the lies of the FN and
causes some of the militant forces left to an unhealthy nationalism and even criminal
alliances. ---- A curious panel ---- Who would have thought? Chevènement, visionary, so
was fifteen years ahead.. Since 1999, the Citizens Movement led a (small) poster campaign
titled 'The euro is not honest "..
This deep slogan today seems to be the rallying cry of a curious panel
dédiabolisés-fascists, of breathless intellectuals, neuneus complotistes, post-Stalinists
and some statist left unimaginative.
There are even converted this brilliant idea in certain sections of unionism and
anti-globalization, believing that the more they trépigneront against the euro, they will
appear more radical! Or when the monetarist fad becomes a substitute for the class struggle..
To explore this issue, read the analysis of Alternative Libertaire on the false
alternative protectionism / free trade.
Chevènement, Dupont-Aignan, Sapir, and other Onfray
Jacques Sapir, economist who does not hate Putin, on the basis that the anti-euro left can
only be a majority, calls for creating a "front" on this point, with all the forces whose
values are not incompatible with those of the left. It excludes "today" to integrate the
FN but open to see very well Dupont-Aignan (again)!
Chevènement has also participated in the summer school of France Arise, the small group of
patriotard Nicolas Dupont-Aignan to prepare an alliance in regional elections [1].
Onfray-la-vane offers himself to "unite all sovereignists on both sides" [2]. For Onfray,
anti-liberal left and right can unite in excess blocking parties (FN, PCF, PG..) for a
winning presidential candidate in 2017. Hers?!
It was better in the days of Raymond Barre!
Mélenchon closely following with his "Plan B" that sees a quick fix in the return to
national currencies coordinates within a European Monetary System (EMS) renewed. The new
EMS (copy of 1970) would allow the happiness of the people by opening trading
opportunities and framed to vary the exchange rates, in light of operating currency
devaluations rather than devalue social gains. Magical powers of money! Except that the
oldest remember the first austerity measures inflicted on workers in France was made by
Raymond Barre, then Prime Minister Giscard, precisely at the time EMS..
One currency, whether national or transnational, is never a tool of capitalism. Can we
change the currency, renaming, rename it and gargle with.. the real question is: who
decides? Who owns the means of production and exchange?
The reformist recipes will not make the solutions for the future. Capitalist globalization
opens the way for a genuine proletarian internationalism. If workers have no fatherland
how to believe in the utility of the old borders, old coins?
Sweep borders and currencies
The debate one could easily conclude by recalling that a true social revolution, ie the
expropriation of the capitalists, shareholders and multi-owner, suddenly sweep borders and
currencies, at least at the level of Europe.
The rhythms are obviously more complicated, unfortunately. Also it is likely that during
the open social confrontation by a revolutionary crisis limited to one or a few countries,
the break with all European institutions will be inevitable.
Knowledge and prepare is one thing. But do the alpha and omega of his policy is another,
especially if it is to approach the sovereignists and fascists to achieve it!
The enemy is not money but the bourgeois interests that swarm behind. Neither franc or
euro: abolition of wage labor!
