Monthly Alternative Libertaire is like in the rest of the press, the chestnut is
respected. Mid-February is Valentine's Day, the feast of the hetero-sexist nunuche trade
and hypocrisy around the couple. ---- Just after the holiday season, there's a commercial
hollow, everyone is broke, cold (or gray and wet as this year), the winter sales begin,
it's gray too. To give back to the customers desire cheerful consume, spend, in good
humor, what better way to celebrate the heterosexual couple exchanging gifts, preferably
expensive. ---- All shops take it by force, the pub is unleashed, and not at least offer
flowers Mr. exposes the general disapproval (especially that of his wife). ---- And
offices and businesses, many women will discuss what Mr. offered or what their
relationship was for Valentine's Day. Obviously there are couples who are freed from this
ritual, and women who live with their friends, sisters, and are not less happy! Almost
obligation to be heterosexual couple, hinders the development of solidarity and friendship
between women, that are necessary for, among others, out of domestic violence!
Small red full pub hearts, "love always" full logs (percent weddings, forty-four
divorces), the dripping tenderness (over 200 000 women are victims of pairs of violence
each year, 2 million at least the will in their life), red roses, Valentine's red.
"For Valentine's Day 2016, xxxxxxxx (chocolate) celebrates love with a padlock to taste
two, symbol of Paris and the Pont des Arts, available in February 2016." The padlock
symbol of love, it ' is quite relevant.
The feast of compulsory sex
Mr. must offer roses and jewelry, or perfume or a wonderful restaurant (it's not Christmas
or a birthday, household appliances as gifts before intercourse, it does not), the
combination is allowed. Madame must cook small meals seducing (if the gentleman has failed
resto), dress pretty sexy and alluring to his best and red underwear (Valentine's Day,
it's red, hearts, roses, the sexy stuff). It has the right to make a small gift, of
course, but be sexy enough.
In women's magazines (this year, so, so):
Valentine's Day is fast approaching and you want to spoil your sweetheart? Forget gifts,
candlelit dinners and other petals arranged in the room: for him (really) fun, nothing
better than a nice set of lingerie. Body bra, thong, babydoll, corset or garter belt: the
weapons of seduction panel is large and there is something for everyone.
It's all in the spirit of buying a more enthusiastic than usual sex in exchange for gifts.
A commercial for Mr. "Want to go out to him the big game? Board the Yacht xxxxxxx for a
cruise and a romantic dinner, which will end in triumph while sleeping on board ... "The
ellipsis is in the ad.
And happy Valentine's Day, red ... and black.

On March 9, it is not an important date to respond to the threat of El Khomri project.
This is also the release of a new daily information, and class struggle and class
struggle: Social Progress. ---- "Start a new national daily paper, it's a crazy bet", say
its creators. ---- The hard core of writing published until Les Cahiers d'Alter,
decryption bimonthly legal, economic and social issues linked to the Union syndicale
Solidaires, and more particularly, to Solidaires Industries . ---- They and they decided
to move to the daily pace, not limited to the identity Solidaires, and bringing a strong
enough basis to keep abonné.es duration. A call for subscription was launched on a
platform of crowdfunding . ---- Social Progress relies on a team of 31 people , who will

The first editorial
Launch a new national daily paper, it's a crazy bet. it is even more when it is an
initiative of actresses and actors of social progress: associative, trade union activists,
popular education, political organizations, humanist, citizen, etc.
Daily information and opinion entirely financed by subscriptions and without advertising,
this is our conception of an independent newspaper and committed, but without dogmatism.
Whether the operation - collective decision-making, equal pay - or the editorial line -
(re) give voice to those who are involved in civic life, this newspaper is seen as a tool
to participate in the construction of social progress and overcome divisions. For this
reason, it will be open daily ticket to the social movement, favoring a free and rotating
floor. Fernand Pelloutier, first secretary of the Labour Exchanges Federation in 1892, saw
his famous phrase "teach to revolt" as "the art of cultivating and grow enough for other
men can govern themselves and enjoy them- same ": this is the whole point of building a
project of individual emancipation, collective, secular by refusing fatalism.
Tuesday to Friday, Social Progress will take the form of a 4 pages with a hierarchical
information, critical and wealthy. By choosing paper, at a time when the "all digital"
stands as absolute finality, we reaffirm that journalism can not be exonerated from this
support.
Every Saturday an additional 4 pages make room for themes colors happy days:
international, labor law, public education, economy, sports, music, cinema, literature,
outings, science, anti-fascism, fair trade ... many subjects animated by a team of thirty
additional contributors.
There will be no surprise that the lively Social Progress will require both subscriptions
in number but also it becomes a real tool for reflection and action. We will do everything
for that to be the case!

The law "work" presented by the government represents a massive attack against the
workers. It is part of the offensive by the governments of right and left, in the service
of the bourgeoisie, to break more than a century of workers' conquests. ---- The labor
code is in fact historically the state of the balance of forces between the classes, it is
an indicator of the minimum level of rights snatched from the bourgeoisie by the struggle
of workers. ---- Even if employers regularly crowd the foot is a support on which the
employees, particularly in small companies, but also in industries where qualifications
and / or the level of collective organization is small, can use to limit the level of
exploitation that their imposes the employer's dictatorship. ---- the law presented by
attacking the "hierarchy of norms" is to break all the collective, class, replacing it
corporatism, individualistic atomization in which employees, employers face the
dictatorship, are still losers.
the first victims are the proletarians of the most marked by precariousness sectors
including sectors dominated by women, so women will pay a high price for this law.
The government project thus promotes the logic of the referendum to establish less
favorable agreements that the labor code. Now these referendum will necessarily be carried
out with the "employer knife" on the throat.
This is to break the resistance of combative syndicalism - which managed eg to defeat the
Sunday of Labor widespread in a number of commercial enterprises - by opposing a parody of
him "plebiscitary democracy" for imposing employer requirements: employees, atomized,
individualized, without collective organization, are much more vulnerable to employers who
knows resort to coercion and blackmail to impose his law where no collective resistance
exists.
The state, far from being a neutral instrument of the general interest, confirms once
again with this new attack against the working class, its role of defending the interests
of the dominant classes. At the same time it seeks to liquidate what the bourgeoisie and
himself had to concede as a result of workers' struggles, it criminalizes activists and
trade unionists, as shown as the repression of the Goodyear workers, employees of air
France, or in Lyon, union activists Jtekt, Mac Donald ...
After Macron law, the multiplication of gifts to bosses in the form of exemptions from
social contributions and tax exemptions, this law is in the offensive that led the
bourgeoisie and governments internationally against the workers.
the defeat is an absolute necessity and should be the first step towards the overthrow of
the balance of power to recover the power to decide our lives which deprives us the state
and the bourgeoisie, and to retrieve the fruit collective of our work that the bourgeoisie
appropriates exploiting us.
Facing this juggernaut, the solution is therefore not in nationalism who offers us the
sacred union with our exploiters, nor in a hypothetical "recomposition of the left", but
in the reconstruction of a powerful labor movement in internationally, on class and mass
bases, but also independence from the state and the bourgeoisie.
In this reconstruction, the class trade union movement has a central role to play as a
tool of collective organization, if he can reconnect massively with its origins: the
umbrella organization of mass, federalism and union democracy, independence facing the
state and politiciens.Retour automatic line
this, it is we, workers, the build investing again in these mass resistance by wielding
tools and a combative voice.
Today, we need to build a massive power struggle by strikes and collective action to roll
back the bourgeoisie and the state by requiring the withdrawal of the "work" law.
For this, we must foil the maneuvers government is to co-opt organizations "union" such as
the CFDT and UNSA making them some concessions to preserve the essential. It is each and
everyone to work for the extension and progression of force report from March 9, working
to block the production and trade by the strike and collective action of any kind.
What to build the balance of power?
Workers and remote workers: organize collectively seeking receptive and responsive
colleagues to collective action.
Rely on local trade unions that include workers of a locality.
Workers and workers on strike, militant trade unionists develop contacts with the
surrounding business workers, activists between combative and militant trade unionists.
Developing mutual aid to organize flying pickets or strikes at the entrance of industrial
sites and business parks, shares of collective mobilization (leafleting) or to disrupt the
flow of goods.
Organize meetings gathering basin unionized and non-unionized, to unite the local
collective actions.
Develop militant strike funds and organize collections for a prolonged struggle.
Workers and unemployed workers, retirees, homemakers: Join collective initiatives by
basin, collective action in the employment center to mobilize workers and unemployed workers.
Workers and workers in training (apprentices, high school, student): Blocking CFA, High
Schools, universities ...
Targeting employers institutions (MEDEF, CCI ...) for collective action of blocking and /
or occupation.
We absolutely must organize to demand the withdrawal of this law.
This mobilization could be the start of a convergence of struggles beneficiaries to all.

Ours is a movement which aims to develop an egalitarian and libertarian society. Sexism is
one of the forms of discrimination and hierarchy that needs to be eradicated and there is
no better place to start than where we may encounter it. In many social movements we can
experience de-facto leadership patterns which favor males and in many ways discourage
women from being equally valued in organizations. We need not only to question the need
for de-facto leaders but also to change our notions of what is valuable when when we see
such dynamics. ---- Let us never fail to treat such issues seriously and let's neutralize
anyone who tries to enable forms of male domination. ---- Our liberation is not just a
matter of class struggle but of a complete social transformation where we treat each other
as equals and all forms of privelege and overthrown. And for us, this state of respect and
egalitarian behaviour must happen in the here and now.
Against all forms of hierarchy – not just the state and capitalism.
