"It is therefore the peoples who allow themselves, or rather are bound, since by
refusing to serve, they would break their bonds. La Boétie, The Discourse onVoluntary Servitude ---- Towards Generalized Survival. ---- Today, everythingbecomes clearer. All of us, who have already lost a lot in the past decades, canno longer be mistaken. The times that are opening up will be, each day a littlemore, those in which daily life will be reduced to the struggle for survival. Weare not talking here about the equipped and air-conditioned survival that wasthat of the sixties; no, it is about the most raw survival, when housing, food,treatment are no longer self-evident. No more society under the iron heel of theneo-conservatives, only atomized individuals, subject to the iron Law of theEconomy and condemned to be nothing more than predators or prey, slaves in any case.It would be pointless to list the multiple attacks that we have already had toendure, they are very present in our minds. If we persist in fighting each one ofthem, one after the other, like a patient who would fight the symptoms of thedisease without taking the root of the evil, we will be defeated. It is in thesefights, certainly justified, but too fragmented and often thankless that we haveleft many of our forces in these past years. The weight of this sort of "struggleroutine", with at the end, in the best of cases, the only prospect of not backingdown too much, has discouraged more than one.Don't back off too much! While around us an unprecedented social but alsoecological disaster is producing its first effects! While those who write historytoday while relentlessly closing it for us, trap our lives in a device, close orinternational, always more dangerous, always more delirious!Make history rather than suffer itThe situation today is too serious for us to miss the opportunity to unite notfor an alliance of convenience, but for a fight that promises to be long anddifficult.It is not the simple addition of limited claims that will allow this union, butthe awareness that we are at a key moment. If the powers are able to impose theirdiktat, which has already proved so destructive in recent years, our entireability to fight in the years to come will be reduced. We all have in mind thosedays of short-lived action that have punctuated the last few years and theharmful role they have played in the development of a general strike movement.Today, we cannot afford to have this false rhythm imposed on us. Ourparticipation in a one-day strike fixed well in advance can only be envisagedinsofar as, also well in advance, we will all have in mind that it will have tobe the beginning of a movement to the height of the stake.LONG LIVE THE UNLIMITED GENERAL STRIKE!According to a text by the revolutionary teaching group Vingtras, textdistributed by the anarchosyndicalist initiative CNT-AIT Allier at thedemonstration of September 29, 2022.http://cntaittoulouse.lautre.net/spip.php?article1253_________________________________________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
