TO REMOVE THE WATER OF CAPITALISM ---- In the times of the impoverishment of the working 
class and the state of exception to which the unemployed are, comes the law of 
co-government SYRIZA / ANEL, which provides for the operation of the shops for 32 Sundays 
per year. The intention of the state and the capitalists to completely abolish the Sunday 
holiday is more than obvious. ---- Where does the Sunday holiday abolish? ---- The 
abolition of the Sunday holiday and the full elasticities of the hours are a very 
important part of the capitalist restructuring that was intensified by the crisis. At the 
core of this restructuring is labor relations as the factor that relies on exploitation of 
workers, the production of surplus value and ultimately the profits of capitalists. It is 
a measure that will directly benefit the big businessmen and the big shopping malls, which 
will favor the further accumulation of capital. But it is yet another attack on work 
achievements that paves the way for further intensification and autocralization of already 
precarious labor relations in line with the dominant spirit of full commercialization of 
our lives. In order to survive capitalism in crisis, it must be aggressively expanding on 
more and more points where it has not been sufficiently exploited to date. The goal is to 
turn workers into working machines with few rights that when they are not working they 
will be compassionate consumers. That is to say, the total transformation of life into a 
cycle of production of surplus value, consumption of goods and accumulation of capital.

This is the notorious capitalist development. Anyone who thinks that this attack on 
workers' free time will stop trading is very much a shame. That is to say, the total 
transformation of life into a cycle of production of surplus value, consumption of goods 
and accumulation of capital. This is the notorious capitalist development. Anyone who 
thinks that this attack on workers' free time will stop trading is very much a shame. That 
is to say, the total transformation of life into a cycle of production of surplus value, 
consumption of goods and accumulation of capital. This is the notorious capitalist 
development. Anyone who thinks that this attack on workers' free time will stop trading is 
very much a shame.

The sacred alliance of commercializing our lives

This effort brings together an expanded front of forces that each contributes to the 
common goal. Driving force is, of course, the capitalists and the main lever is the 
government that, using the state mechanism, acts as the agent of capital. This, of course, 
is one of the basic functions of the state in modern totalitarianism. The role of the 
judiciary is also clear and distinct, and a brief look at the role it has played in the 
labor rights laborer in recent years has not left the fact that the CoE's provisional 
decision has blurred the waters. Statutory SMEs have assumed the role of ideological 
vanguard in trying to present Sunday's operation as a solution to their crisis and to 
advertise it as much as possible, at the same time they show any reaction as antisocial 
and detrimental to workers. Particular reference should be made to the free-press 
libraries that, with their supposedly de-ideologized and aesthetized view, crystallize the 
content of socialism as aggressive neo-liberalism. Most of the trade associations also 
helped them in their own way. Initially with his "7 Sundays and not 52" where they showed 
that they did not understand that the hegemony was now owned by the big ones rather than 
the ones themselves, and any change in the Sunday holiday would not stay there, but would 
spare everything. Then with the introduction of institutions that contribute to the 
elastification of hours such as "white nights" where workers are forced to work until 
midnight to increase turnover. The "white nights" contributed to a number of 
municipalities that supported many such efforts, including mayors on the left, 
demonstrating its role as a left of capital and a potential management power of the system 
rather than a power of overthrow. Last but not least, disturbing consumers who are willing 
to pretend their breasts to shop on Sunday play the role of useful idiots who do not 
realize that the complete abolition of labor rights will also affect them.

The importance of the fight against the abolition of Sunday's holiday

We must not forget the immediate impact of the intensification of work on the lives of 
workers. At the same time that official unemployment is at 26%, employees' free time is 
clipped. The concept of leisure time narrows to accommodate only the consumption and the 
absolutely necessary rest. The labor movement must understand the issue of leisure time as 
being of equal importance to salary, as aspects of the same thing. He has to reorganize 
the concept of leisure time out and against capitalism as a time that workers use to 
organize their resistance to capitalist barbarism, to create their own culture, to live 
out of the sovereignty of commodity.

What to do

The abolition of the Sunday holiday is not only for the employees but for all the workers. 
Strikes of industry unions on Sundays that are open to shops are essential and must be 
supported but not enough. Horizontal co-ordination of wider parts of our class, grassroots 
clubs, labor struggles, and societies is necessary to make these strikes generalized. In 
this effort, institutional unionism and its defeated rationale and practices are 
weightless, not ally. To win this battle, the road is one: we must destroy the functioning 
of the market on Sundays. With massive paths, dynamic interventions and shop blockades, 
sabotage, street closures to create a multi-faceted movement until they make a decision 
that our Sundays are not going to give them to the world of commodity. On our Sundays we 
will use them to celebrate and discuss, to fall in love and organize the Social Revolution 
that will sweep the world of the state and capital and build freedom.

Abolition of Sunday's holiday: the advancement of the elasticisation

In the 1980s, the historic political leader of neoliberalism, M. Thatcher had formulated 
the basic aphorism that describes the soul of the neoliberal dystopia "There is no 
society, only individuals and their families."

 From a direct class perspective, the defense of the Sunday holiday is nothing but the 
defense of another "castle" against the invasion of capital. Another important labor right 
that is under threat, having behind it dozens of lost, and ahead of what's left.

The abolition of the Sunday holiday, as well as the complete elastification of the hours, 
constitute a very important part of the capitalist restructuring, which capital imposes in 
the years of the economic crisis. The abolition of Sunday's holiday benefits primarily the 
large commercial capital - local and international - but secondarily all small or 
medium-sized bosses who are happy to welcome the opening of the shops on Sundays with the 
note not being every Sunday.

Capital is not enough to cut wages and wider employers' costs, but seeks to fully 
elasticize labor relations: rotating work, split hours, contracts even for just a few 
days, work on Sunday, the legal " overtime "as well as two hours a day," hourly 
"employment is an aspect of this elasticities. To put it simply, you work when they ask 
for it and for as long as they ask for it. Capitalism extends not only geographically but 
also "temporally": every aspect of our lives is gradually but steadily embedded in the 
circle of capital - not just our eighth hour, but every minute of our free time goes into 
the cycle of production, consumption and accumulation.

Capital employs empirically on the world of labor, with the latter paying too expensive 
both the individual resignation and the absence of struggle structures that could defend 
that it is now threatened and that it has already lost.

Abolition of Sunday's holiday: the disintegration of social cohesion from the bottom

However, broadening the visual and social, and class struggle, there is a bigger picture, 
a more comprehensive description of what the moment of the end of the crisis will look 
like, if the power finally succeeds in imposing its own interest.

Why Sunday is not just a commentary day, stable and planned for the exploiter. It is also 
a common day of commentary for everyone and everyone (with the exception of the necessary 
"security staff", which begins and is scheduled for more and more professional 
categories). A reality of centuries for the vast majority of workers. But the issue is not 
the historicity of the holiday, it is how this historicity has determined both the 
collective life, the individual time management and the overall regulatory framework of 
social relations in the individual fields. When, for example, a family can meet with 
certainty? When can one "wake up at what time he wants"? When will children have a certain 
time with adults? When will a company be found, people who have a common hobby? When can 
visits be made? Which night is for a common exit and fun? The existence of a fixed day of 
the week that "society as a whole" has free time is essential for the weaving of the 
social fabric itself. It is no coincidence that all the basic religions have adopted this 
reality by using it at the same time to strengthen their penetration into the social 
spheres and to strengthen their dictatorship over morals.

The abolition of the Sunday holiday, at best, will be replaced by a fixed day offset some 
day of the week. This will cause a vertical split of "leisure communities" between 
workers. Different days of rest will weaken the functioning of social fields, transfer the 
weight directly from collective planning to the individual management of everyday life. In 
the best case. Why, in fact, capital does not make miseries. The boss will decide when, 
how much and how much he / she will work and communicate it to the worker - perhaps the 
previous day as well, as often all of us have experienced. This will happen and it is a 
massive "contamination" of precariousness throughout the everyday life. The course of 
capital and the market towards in-depth conquest of all public and private space is a 
process of deconstruction of all social cohesion from the bottom. It is a confirmation of 
the apology of the Prime Minister of England.

There is no reason to doubt that social dynamics will find ways to re-weave tissues. The 
abolition of the Sunday holiday, however, is still a very significant retreat from the 
conditions of individual and collective survival that the workers, all of us, had gained 
in recent years. It does not cease to be a serious blow to the personal dignity of 
defining your everyday life as well as the possibilities of social existence.

The attack we are taking is very flat and threatens to deprive us of data that no one 
decades ago would have thought likely to be questioned. Capital is omnipresent and has 
neither a measure nor a limit. It has imposed a permanent emergency regime. The oppressed 
have silenced. It does not even bother to take any steps to win social acceptance in order 
to maintain its order of things.

The need to defend the Sunday holiday is a very important staple of our time.

The struggles given by political and trade union forces have succeeded in hindering 
capitalist plans. The state hacks the "number" and "places in the country" that the right 
will be abolished with its desirable tactic to salamize the problem when it finds 
resistance. No one has delusions that in the end either the right to a common holiday for 
all will be "universally" - as much as we have lost - or we will go to a Thatcher's jungle.

The struggles given by political and trade union forces must be supported by all and all. 
Within workplaces, outside of them but also in every field of social life. The 
unchangeability of the joint holiday and the consciousness of the consequences of its 
abolition must lead us to fight for it in our workplaces, in our unions, on the road.

It is a fight we can win. It is enough to give it as we can.

A conference on critical thinking that ends with an attempt at censorship, threats, and 
finally the intervention of the police, all of this in a public university. ---- This 
Thursday, December 7 in the faculty Lille-III, we were a hundred people to attend the 
conference of Edouard Louis and Geoffroy de Lagasnerie: "  Invent a thought" 
dysfunctional". Politics, knowledge, writing. ---- The conference is proceeding normally, 
and must end on some questions from the public. A student comes in, questioning Geoffroy 
de Lagasnerie on the possible way to fight against new measures in universities. We are in 
the theme after all. ---- Finger of honor at the meeting ---- At this moment, to the 
general stupefaction, a man intervenes brutally to take the microphone and cut the speech 
of the student. This man is Philippe Vervaecke, first vice-president of the university and 
vice-president of the Lille III board of directors. Not anyone, not a vulgar vigil. But he 
can not take the microphone, and goes down furiously, handing a finger of honor to the 
whole room ! He even comes to interfere at the table of speakers and tries to take the 
microphone ! We are witnessing a delirious scene !

The speakers, well aware of what is happening, refuse to let him speak, and ask him to 
leave the platform. He refuses. The atmosphere is tense. Far from having finished his 
number, he invites Edouard Louis, in the hollow of the ear, to "  come to explain himself 
outside  " ... Then leaves the platform, to type frantically on his phone. He's bringing 
in the cops.

The conference ends. Students call for a general meeting against the new selection 
measures, but also against the prevailing security climate in the university. A few hours 
before the conference, a forum signed by professors-researchers and doctoral students is 
published on Médiapart: "  No place for the police at the University !  " .

Vigils and handlers

We leave the room, but dog handlers are waiting for us at the exit. A security guard 
pushes a student to the ground. The dogs are barking, growling. We learn that a number of 
people have been banned from entering the conference. The vigilantes, on the orders of 
Philippe Vervaecke, blocked access at a certain moment. We leave the university as 
hallucinated. Regarding the general assembly, she is expelled by cops in battle dress !

On 7 December, very serious things happened at the University Lille-III, which are the 
work of a first vice-president of a university. What is happening in Lille-III ? Is it 
still a university or a barracks ? A place of emancipation or oppression ? We obviously 
support all the students who undergo the security and liberal bidding at Lille-III, but 
also in all the universities. We denounce the crackdown on students who are organizing to 
deal with the breakage of the university that the Macron government is putting in place 
with the selection in license, the end of the compensation of the EU, or the reform of the 
statutes of the universities.

The German state again deals with anti-authoritarian and anarchist movements. On Tuesday 5 
December, the police raided more than twenty addresses. Represe still concerns protests 
against papalas around the world that took place during the G20 summit in Hamburg in early 
July. ---- At 6:35, a twitter account @linksunten_goe was posted on the amount of cops 
moving in the streets of Göttingen. There were news coming from other cities soon. During 
the day, the police broke into the social centers and apartments of activists and 
activists in Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne, Bonn, Siegburg and Stuttgart. The Rotes Zentrum in 
Göttingen and another social center called Lili Herrmann in Stuttgart did not miss the 
attention. In the streets of Göttingen several people spontaneously resisted. There were 
clashes and injuries. One rescued activist had to be called a rescue officer. An 
unexpected visit to Göttingen was also honored by one representative from the Pirate 
Party. In Bonn, the anti-terrorist squad was focused on, among other things, the youth 
union of the Verdi Union, which is one of the largest in Germany.

German fighters can still not cope with the events in Hamburg in early July. Their 
systematic misinformation campaign, launched at the beginning of the year, gradually broke 
down reports of bullying demonstrators before any protests began and, in particular, 
evidence of police brutality at the start of protests that sparked sharp clashes in the 
streets. Criticism comes from the corporate press and the federal assembly. In neighboring 
countries, however, mass media and internet trolls managed to portray events in Hamburg to 
the detriment of demonstrators.

Yesterday, the announced solidarity summit was held on Saturday at Aromalab KB, at its 
premises in Oreokastro, Thessaloniki. ---- Unprecedented was the increased presence of 
police forces with police, patrol and security forces, which arrived in the area well 
before the planned concentration. Police chiefs attended both the company's parking lot 
and opened a door to customers, while a squad of MATs attended the entrance of the company 
overseeing entry! ---- In spite of high policing, concentration was normally conducted, 
dozens of texts were shared with customers and passers-by and slogans were called. Banners 
were hung from both the solidarity assembly (Immediate re-entry of Aromalab's redundant) 
and the collectivism for social anarchism Black & Red (Immediate re-appointment of the 
redundant organization and struggle at the workplace).

Employers stayed indoors by watching the door and windows of the building ...
