(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #229 - Anticapitalist fronts: In the sweat of our brows (fr)

In recent months, anti-capitalist fronts are built in several cities. Their goal: to 
create a link between those who think that there is no salvation within capitalism and 
begin to sow the seeds of another company. Inventory. ---- Faced with attacks against the 
employee-es of the capitalists with the blessing of the PS government, facing a right-wing 
ambush that thrives amid homophobia, the only audible response is left to the one worn by 
the hour Left Front (FDG), and this response is far from meeting us. An audible 
anti-capitalist discourse is more necessary than ever. ---- Unfortunately, this speech 
today is too marginal, because the anti-capitalist forces are few, of course, but because 
these forces from different political traditions, remain scattered and fragmented.

If we anticapitalist, want to be heard, are, if we want to convince, we must succeed in 
speaking with one voice and act together, without putting our differences under the carpet 
and chasing after a single large party. This disconnected from the electoral conquest of 
power project, we can according to the form of an anti-capitalist Front: a unifying and 
pluralistic front, intended to remove the speech of austerity and to resist the attacks of 
capital.

An anti-capitalist more than ever Front
Today it's time to put on the table the anti-capitalist fronts that we had already tried 
to boost in 2007 (see " After-presidential: Facing the Liberal bulldozer, an 
anti-capitalist brow "in AL No. 163). We meet a lot more attentively by the activists of 
the NPA, which has greatly suffered from the emergence of FDG and can not claim to embody 
a single pole anti-capitalist resistance. Similarly, the minority of critical Alternative 
on the accession of the latter to FDG, the Movement of growth objectors or proletarian Way 
(Maoist) consider that the emergence of such a center is crucial.

It is in this dynamic that on May 1, Toulouse, the NPA, VP, AL and the Moc met in the 
street and not have to stop there. Same in the Lot-et-Garonne where AL and NPA rallied 
behind the banner of "anti-capitalist" 47. And they would have done even if the rain 
Nantes (and reactionary) does not in melee. These initiatives are not isolated: in 
Marseille with the collective resistance to the attacks of Capital (Crac), in Auch, Albi, 
the process of anti-capitalist fronts begins to oil stain. The blows will rain in 
September: renegotiations Un?dic agreement further pension reform, competitiveness 
agreements, etc.. Anticapitalist and fronts will be there to support and radicalized 
social struggles without replace the union or associations.
