Facing the 4 th wave, the government has unsheathed the health pass.
Authoritarianism, nothing like it to exacerbate mistrust and reluctance. ----
Facing the 4 th wave, the government has unsheathed the health pass.
Authoritarianism, nothing like it to exacerbate mistrust and reluctance. ---- The
measure provoked protests, to say the least, heterogeneous. With, beyond the "no"
to the sanitary pass, speeches at the antipodes of each other, ranging from
provaccination to antivax, not to mention the conspiratorial and anti-Semitic
garbage that we have seen flourish here and there. The extreme right, she paraded
thanks to a battle horse (cardboard): "vaccine freedom". While they aspire to an
authoritarian state, the fascists thus pose to the defenders of individual
freedoms, even public freedoms!

We will not sweep away this imposture without clarifying a very damaging
confusion around the concept of "freedom". To erect individual freedom as an
absolute value, in contempt of society, it is a libertarian conception, that is
to say selfish and liberal. This has nothing to do with the libertarian
conception which is ours and which, because it is communist, states very clearly
that in society, there can be social necessities which outclass individual
freedom. In this case, the containment of a pandemic whose exponential nature can
suddenly saturate the health system, and which has already killed 114,000 people
in France alone.

By clearly advocating general vaccination, with incentive and non-authoritarian
measures, the social movement would assert its own voice, against the libertarian
posture of the fascists, and the false solidarity posture of Macron.

Libertarian Communist Union, August 25, 2021

Remember that we do not only get vaccinated "for ourselves" but above all for others.
