(en) France, Organisation Communiste Libertarie (OCL) - Video surveillance in Boulogne-sur-mer (fr)

The proximity of the municipal elections, the small local social democratic bourgeoisie 
... and its cameras ---- Monday, October 28, 2013, by admi2 ---- We felt it was only a 
matter of time. The period and the proximity of municipal elections have apparently 
hastened things. The left Boulogne has taken the plunge and recently abandoned the 
practice of video surveillance. Recognize first that the local population, the 
announcement sparked little reaction. Daily difficulties account for a growing share of 
families, the commoditization of many forms of social control made ??by hand, very little 
sensitive to the issue. (Text also available in pdf here ) ---- Video surveillance in 
Boulogne-sur-Mer near the municipal elections, the small local social democratic 
bourgeoisie and their cameras ---- The security consensus of the fascist Social Democrats, 
an old story ...

There was not even in the heart of the local political seraglio. Espionage street there 
sparked a verbal tussle between the top candidates in the upcoming municipal, without 
regard to the candid citizen escomptait a proper debate. But now, debate, there will not. 
National Front until the straw woman Transport Minister, Acting Mayor, all have protested 
in unison and claimed authorship of the population control by screens. Meaningful 
consensus. All in a flat close. PS, holding double ordinary discourse is discarded on the 
Office of Public Housing who pretended to turn the "redevelopment areas". Nice number ... 
In a duo citizenist version equal in all respects his Republican twin sisters right or 
extreme right, the accession of the left ideology and safe practices is not a surprise for 
flycatchers. For those who know the history of European social democrats, the record in 
this matter is not to write but tirelessly to unearth. Small non-exhaustive list: "Go to 
War" on both sides of the border in 1914, won the Sacred Union in France, butchers of the 
town of Berlin and murderers of Rosa Luxemburg, a little murder between "comrades" 
addition Rhine rallied to Petain in April 1940 (90 parliamentarians SFIO) breakers of 
miners' strikes of 1948, the first time colonialists and asks "native tappers" Indochina, 
Algeria ... Gustav Noske Manuel Valls through Mitterand1, social democracy is made for 
more than a century a small upstart bourgeoisie prompt any rallying strong powers, 
invariably on the side of the handle, only to serve the interests of capital .

What security policy?

The security policy is ideological Appendix offensive disguised under the term "crisis" 
that led the bourgeoisie against the proletariat since the end of the Fordist compromise. 
That is, since the early 70s. From that date the capital is facing an unprecedented crisis 
of its development, a structural crisis. To impede the very heart of the process of 
production, the falling rate of profit, States first used the restructuring and 
liquidation of entire industry considered obsolete. The restructuring will be a first 
step. The same states will then engage in all-out deregulation of labor markets and 
finance, and will resort to offshoring and finally attack all that the bourgeoisie was a 
time granted to employees as compensation for their operation, namely various forms of 
social insurance: pensions, health care, benefits and indirect wages, etc ... It is the 
policy of scorched earth that can be seen today in Greece effects that bourgeois 
economists call the "liberalism" . But above all, capitalism is a total and not only 
social, economic report, it also determines the forms of existence of specific 
individuals. That is why a growing mass of proletarians become supernumerary suffered 
outright destruction of their way of life. An entire culture, forms of solidarity, social 
and collective life, self-help and resistance were forty years simply eradicated, annihilated.

A mode control and management of people in times of "crisis"

Since, on the ruins of the fallen proletariat "thirty glorious years", a growing crowd of 
new downgraded consists diffuse mass less inclined to the most contradictory reasons to 
let himself sometimes. Urban riots raging on all continents, without exception, we 
reported the echo recent decades. Parties and trade unions today unsuited to control the 
masses of atomized individuals, states are turning to more direct desexp?dients. The 
development of an ideological discourse criminalizing all or part of the proletariat is a 
tool among others a comprehensive process support to the bourgeois order. This speech is 
not just the preserve of the right and fascists. Lately, the left is appropriate as it 
would draw its electoral base to other latitudes. Leaving a working base that had 
previously led to the slaughter, it now spawns with the so-called "middle class" 
liberal-scented essences safe. But ideology alone is not enough if it was on the ground, 
to be embodied in effective practices for control and domination of the people. To this 
end, we are witnessing the mobilization of an entire arsenal against mixing-insurgency 
methods inherited from the colonial wars, militarization of police, misinformation and 
deployment of technological tools of surveillance last cry.

Surveillance cameras and "civil liberties"

Let us set aside now all arguments in defense of non-compliance with "civil liberties and 
human rights." There has long been known as "civil liberties" are reduced to the single 
order to comply with the rules issued by and in the sole interest of the bourgeoisie. And 
it is precisely in the name of the "public interest" that the same minority masked by its 
monitors screens of high legitimacy usurped the anonymous mass of the exploited who gives 
life and maintains. The screens are only tools of a generalized social control for which 
the State has been charged to establish the legal framework tailor-made to. A framework 
also fully bypassed since a large part of them, the cameras are installed, is in full 
violation of laws enacted or in a legal limbo. These cameras are primarily an instrument 
in the hands of the better-off urban classes: merchants, middle class, and other objective 
allies of the bourgeoisie in control and Redistribution way of urban areas to their 
subordination to the laws of capital.

The very lucrative market surveillance

Now, talking big bucks! The cost of installing new cameras "to start on a trial basis" 
would rise as local officials in the amount of "83,000 euros" and "Half of this amount 
should be funded by the Inter-fund the fight against crime. " According to the state 
itself, the cost per camera per year would amount to 7,400 euros on average. If it is a 
market that does not know the crisis, it is that of the security industry. Currently in 
France, fifteen major companies share a jackpot of nearly a billion euros a year in which 
a significant portion comes directly from the pockets of taxpayers. And this is only the 
beginning! Soon, a new kind of camera for the use of software and the use of global IT 
system will replace those currently in use. So the whole park that these companies intend 
to renew and thus can continue to gorge to the muzzle. In short, small business friends 
have a bright future ahead of them ...

At the factory, the office and the pub: the boss you matt

Whether the factory, office, industry or services, the policing has always been an 
integral part of the condition of the proletariat. The last business day under the brand 
groups Ikea, Castorama, etc ... are only the visible part of a very widespread practice in 
many forms. The CNIL this democratic security to the security hysteria said today worry 
about. According to her, between 2011 and 2013, complaints by an employee against his 
employer for video spy rose 13%. In fact, the only thing that has changed, it is now the 
employers qu'emploient methods to achieve its ends. The little chef or the cookie is 
gradually giving way to an arsenal that the video is only one instrument among others. But 
this process is coupled with another, even more perverse. This one is introduced 
everywhere and watch it all the more formidable benefits of membership, at least in part, 
essential to all forms of domination so that it can be deployed and subject to his will. 
The new tools of communication now put the camera lens in the center of regressive 
consumerist practices rather unusual. Their users do not hesitate to take the stage on 
networks called "social", where domestic and mercantile disinhibition is embodied 
ostensibly through unbridled exhibitionism. The fascination / submission to the capitalist 
scheduling technique and technology reaches new heights every day ...

God forgives ... Not the proletariat!

Now what? Of course we are in solidarity with the ongoing struggles against the order and 
security which are expressed through the actions of local groups. We are just as those 
conducted specifically against surveillance cameras: campaigns, debates, destruction of 
cameras, etc ... All that is won, even on a small scale, partial and temporary shows, if 
still necessary, the domination of capital is not and will never be complete or final. But 
it is perfectly clear that it is only from the time when operated es will begin moving, 
they begin to organize on their own to defend only their interests are, fear begin to 
change sides. For this, there is no recipe, nor the gender of the angel-waiting. There is 
the need to begin to come together, discuss, reflect, discuss our workplaces, our living 
... And that is what is most difficult to achieve at this time, we are well aware. On 
several continents popular movements challenging the street the existing order and logic 
that leads us to open to barbarism tomb. In Europe, it is also the case in countries such 
as Greece, for example. So there is no "recovery" or "stimulus" to wait, capital simply 
means we make the skin and in the surplus on our collaboration to achieve. For us all, 
workers, unemployed, pensioners, students, high school students ... with or without papers 
to make him leave the stage of history as soon as possible and the only way it should (!): 
the two front feet! A revolution needs to be done!

Small gallery of portraits Social Democrats with citations to support:

Gustav Noske (1868-1946). Artisan and journalist. Elected SPD, it ensures collaboration 
party with Staff of the army which he has full trust for the duration of the First World 
War. In the town of Berlin, Noske gives full power to the "corps" of mercenaries who 
prefigure the Nazi militia to quell insurgent workers. At these events, Rosa Luxemburg and 
Karl Liebknecht are murdered. Quote: "We need someone to do the bloody dog: I'm not afraid 
of responsibility."

Fran?ois Mitterrand (1916-1996). Minister of the Interior in 1954, as opposed to the 
independence of Algeria. Covered abuses of all kinds of the French army against the 
separatists. Quote: "We do not hit so in a collective manner. We will avoid anything that 
might appear as a sort of state of war that we do not want but we chastise an implacable 
way responsible. "

Manuel Valls (1962). Interior Minister of F.Hollande. Not yet reached the previous two 
palmares but shows promise. Quotes: "You put me Whites, the Blancos ... hi hi hi "or:" 
Yes, we must tell the truth to the French: these people have extremely different from our 
own lifestyles and who are obviously in confrontation with the local population. "

Count When you filmed the Court of Auditors criticizes surveillance cameras

For us, the Court of Auditors is not only not a reference, but rather a political 
instrument of the state and the bourgeoisie. We will note, however, that the state itself 
is concerned when our sub, leading its own contradictions. In concluding his report on the 
use of "security forces" in France, we read: "... Encouraged by the government, the 
growing use of video surveillance of the highway can not substitute for the action of 
forces state security, he adds. The financial burden and responsibility of management 
devices, for the most common. The deployment and use of these devices operate under 
conditions of regularity poorly controlled by the state and sometimes in violation of the 
law. The absence in France of any rigorous evaluation of the effectiveness of CCTV in the 
street is a damaging gap, particularly with regard to the amount of public expenditure ... 
"1 The court criticized among other things the government does not give means the county 
commissions control of CCTV to do its job ie prevent abuse, "its role is only formal," 
"... in the absence of material and human resources, the county commission may exercise 
this control ... ". Another criticism is the lack of qualification or authorization of 
those responsible for the operation of CCTV systems. Finally pointing the absence of 
scientific analysis on the impact of crime and delinquency, the court noted that the 
number of solved crimes CCTV is negligible.

In other words, we are made to pay too much unnecessary tool used by incompetent that the 
state itself can not control ...
