Failed attempted arson took place at dawn Friday (12.18.15) at the Autonomous Stage (Z.
Source 95-97 & Isavron Exarchia). - Aspiring Arsonists used gasoline and some rags to put
fire at the entrance of standing. All they managed was to blacken the entrance door. -
Although the identity of our would-be arsonists is still unknown, we know very well what
their origin area. - Is he for years is targeting the Competitive Movement and cowardly
conduct similar attacks on dozens of squats, self-managed spaces, and social ventures.
---- Let's digest well who plays the "secret agents" through the darkness: under no
circumstances be restricted in the slightest the diverse kinematics activities carried out
by collectives and venturing into the area of standing; there is no case to suspend the
social constituency of a self-managed space, which in few months completes 18 years of
presence in Exarchia and Neapolis, and participates actively in the social and class
struggles.
The answer us is to step up our activities and our action in the fields of social
competition, continue to strengthen the solidarity structures and self-organization
ventures of our needs, our theoretical searches and our political action, of
self-education groups and events , collective kitchens and venturing for the food, the
film screenings and theater performances more dynamic, more vibrant, more open to the
neighborhood and society.
We burned together only when we stop to carve paths of social emancipation.

In Lyon, a play inspired by Machiavelli becomes spectacle sexist, homophobic and pro-rape.
---- A theatrical staging of the Prince, Machiavelli? That sounds interesting: The Prince
is basically a political essay extremely experienced on the exercise of power, released in
1532. We go to the representation Friday night to see the adaptation of Laurent Gutmann,
director. In terms of theater, rather there will be misogynist and homophobic scenes,
extremely disturbing. The hall with a capacity of 500 people is almost full. Are found
mainly old white middle-class couples, a group of student-created and some families.
Nothing out of the ordinary for bobo area of Croix-Rousse. Three characters, Miriam and
Max Remi, take the stage to take a course to help them become and behave like a prince,
that is to learn to take power and keep it; workshop led by Machiavelli and his secretary
Karine.
Sexism, homophobia and class contempt
The five characters are all very stereotyped: Machiavelli is a boss who mistreats his
secretary Karine, Max is the boorish and uncouth character, Rémi is the first of the class
and Myriam meanwhile embodies the vase skirt who does not understand anything .
Given the composition of the piece, we begin to sigh again female characters are
insignificant characters and fully in line with current standards of beauty, but nevermind
... Things start to get really annoying when Max pelota Myriam buttocks and Rémi removes
her skirt, so called because it does not correspond to the holding of a woman of power. It
will remain in that outfit until Max yells to him that it has a "fat ass", which decides
to get dressed.
If one can legitimately find it all that more disturbing is later in the show as we enter
the heart of the matter. In a new year, three interns will try to calm the angry people
(the people being the public). To do this, Karine brandished placards are written slogans
we're supposed to repeat, such as: "The only solution, the event", "Casse-toi pauvre con"
or "Serre buttocks, one arrives at any speed ". On one hand, people's participation is
reduced to a mass of people foolishly ânonnant phrases that orders him to repeat,
revealing a clear class contempt and ignorance of what is actually a social movement such
as a demo . On the other hand, some slogans, as the last city, mock sexual practices
considered inferior vis-à-vis a societal norm, ie sodomy, and therefore have a clearly
homophobic.
Spectacle "participatory" ... or assault?
The sexist and homophobic continued escalation when Rémi tries in turn to the exercise of
the people angry to calm. His solution is to him initially released his phone to
photograph the public by declaring: "I hope you came with your wife, because I'll post it
on the Internet. "Then seeing that this has no effect, it goes up in the stands, grabbed a
spectator (actually complicit in the room) by the arm, calling her a" bitch ", the force
sent down to the bottom of the stands, plate against the stage and pretended to rape
sodomy by lowering his pants. Under the guise of humor, a woman is assaulted in front of
500 people, made at the same time ... What are we accomplices laughs!
The momentum, the show ends with a review of Machiavelli who said that the crowd is like a
woman, it is better to submit violently to obtain obedience. The small turnaround stuns
where Karine Machiavelli and takes power alone will not make us forget the hour and a half
show sexist, homophobic and pro-rape.
During the performance this week, a diff of leaflets has been set up every night until the
end of the show to denounce the choice of staging made by Gutmann and programming the
theater management. In theater as elsewhere, sexism and pro-rape culture does not belong!

Since November 13, France has been in a „state of emergency”, during which protest has
been criminalized and many have been arrested and subject to house arrest. One of them is
our comrade Ali from the CNT-AlT, who was put under house arrest at 3:30 AM on November
28. ---- From the lWA, we roundly denounce the actions of the state. We remind that it is
different states and religious zealots who are battling against each other to gain control
over people and divide them. All of us are potential victims. We must unite and bring down
the tyrants – all those existing and all those who wish to be. ---- Down with the state of
emergency and long live international insurgency! ---- IWA's secretariat ----

Dramas also take place in the heart of Europe. Today in Calais nearly 7000 people live in
appalling conditions, while in Paris many migrants find themselves on the street. We can
not accept that people are condemned to live in such conditions.
