1/ Latest capitalism and its state model of representative democracy (or its
imitation) are in a deep systemic crisis which is simultaneously economic,social, political, environmental, etc. Capitalism cannot get out of the crisis byits usual methods, therefore, over the past decades, the ruling class around theworld has been following the path of strengthening and totalizing control oversociety and citizens, strengthening the repressive machine and introducingelements of emergency. ---- This manifests itself in a variety of forms:digitalization of control, large-scale surveillance, dismantling of rights andfreedoms, expanding the powers of the police, introducing more and more bans andrestrictions, etc. In this way, national and world elites are trying at all coststo push through the neoliberal model, break down resistance and prevent theemergence of a new society.2/ The epidemic of covid and the panic unleashed in connection with it in themedia and social networks gave the ruling class around the world a favorable andlong-awaited reason to dramatically accelerate the transition to a model ofgeneral total control and implement the methods of its digital incarnation, whichhad long been discussed at the top, giving them a complete and holisticcharacter. For the successful implementation of these measures, total obedienceof the population is required, introduced through intimidation and sowing fear.3/ The notorious lockdowns served exactly for these purposes and not for thefight against the disease at all. They were inevitably followed by an increase inunemployment and a drop in the income of the bulk of the population. Only now wasthe ruling class able to explain the deterioration in the lives of workers not bytheir profit-making activities, but by some natural phenomenon called a"pandemic". However, this "natural disaster" did not prevent the growth of thenumber of millionaires and billionaires around the world and the growth of theirincomes.4/ With regret, we are forced to observe that a part of the left and evenanarchists in different countries of the world fell into the trap of officialrhetoric about "saving lives" and "solidarity" and at least partially supportedstate bans introduced under the pretext of fighting covid. Thus, they allowed asituation where in some countries the right and the ultra-right were at theforefront of the struggle against destructive measures for the working people.5/ Also, in the past 2 years, under the pretext of combating fakes on covid andother topics, the previously existing censorship in the media and social networksbelonging to wealthy media corporations, has been intensifying. This createsanother means of digital control.6/ After the urgent production of covid vaccines in different countries, theybegan to impose massively by segregating the unvaccinated and literally deprivingthem of their livelihood. At the same time, the "vaccinated" part of society isbeing pitted against those who question the necessity and justification of thisprocedure, or, for one reason or another, do not vaccinate themselves. Meanwhile,the voluntariness of medical intervention is still spelled out both in the lawsof many countries and in the Nuremberg Code.7/ In addition to all of the above, there has recently been a tendency indifferent countries to use the agenda of anthropogenic climate change as anotherpretext to limit the rights and opportunities of workers and reduce theirwell-being. We do not deny the harmful influence of capitalist production (whichseeks to obtain maximum profit at minimum cost) on the ecology of the planet.However, we believe that the requirements for the transition to moreenvironmentally friendly technologies and biodegradable materials, as well as thecosts associated with this, should be addressed to the owners of productionfacilities, and not at all to the poor workers forced to consume their products.8/ We invite anarchists and anti-authoritarian left people, together with otherworkers, to fight against the onset of a new totalitarianism and biofascism basedon universal fear, rightlessness and segregation. We must clarify and defend theposition that real solidarity can only exist between equal and free people, andit cannot in any way be imposed by state violence and violation of basic rights.In particular, the right to voluntarily any medical intervention, the right toprivacy, the right to work and maintain livelihoods.Anarchist Initiative StopTotalControlhttps://t.me/StopTotalControlhttps://m.facebook.com/Stoptotalcontrol-104416732072970https://aitrus.info/node/5850_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
