Taking up the torch of the Paris Commune and theanti-authoritarian First International, relying on their experiences acquiredthrough their active participation in the Mexican, Russian, Ukrainian, German orItalian revolutions of the 1920s, pioneers of nascent anti-colonialism, they laidthe groundwork for a new doctrine of revolutionary action, anarchosyndicalism.Having libertarian communism as their goal, they established their organizationof international revolutionary struggle on the principles of federalism,autonomy, equality and solidarity, direct action and rejection not only of theState and of Capitalism, but also of any political organization.One hundred years later, Capitalism is still there, ravaging the planet andhumans. States are more powerful than ever, always extending their deadly andwarlike capacities. Politicians keep putting us to sleep, bludgeoning us andblinding us when we no longer pretend to believe them. While Humanity is facingan existential threat, are the principles and tactics of anarchosyndicalism stillrelevant at the beginning of the 21st century? War in Ukraine, social misery,ecological disasters, exploitation of human beings... concretely what are theproposals of today's anarchosyndicalists to act, from the local to the global level.It is on these questions in particular that the delegates of the 28th Congress ofthe AIT debated, from December 5 to 11, 2022 in Alcoy (Spain), in a room full ofhistory, since it was the place of creation of the Spanish section of the FirstInternational in 1873.Because 100 years later, thwarting all the forecasts and the ominous birds thatannounce like parrots its disappearance every 10 years, the AIT is still there.She survived all repressions, all exiles, all attempts at annihilation, fromPatagonia to Japan, from Nazi concentration camps to communist gulags, and evenintegration via money and corruption. , the deadliest poison of all to which manytrade unionists, even "revolutionary" ones, have succumbed...For 5 days, in this industrial city in crisis in Spain, where we know what workerdignity and class solidarity mean, found this small concentration of humanityfrom 4 continents, exchanging in all languages of the earth... and even inEsperanto, without regard to identity of any kind. AIT is very much alive, it iseven growing, as the companions from Indonesia, Pakistan, Australia, Chile andColombia have come to tell us. And even in Europe, since we had the pleasure ofwelcoming the Irish companions of Organize into the great international family ofanarchosyndicalism.Undeniably, anarchosyndicalism, its principles and modes of action are moretopical than ever. Institutional unionism continues to sink into corruption withthe bosses and the powerful. The indictment of Luca Vicenti, Secretary General ofthe International Trade Union Confederation (the international common to theCFDT, the CFTC, the CGT and FO) in the context of Qatargate is the perfectillustration of this.Workers have understood that they have nothing to expect from institutionalunions. The results of the recent professional elections in the public service,in which the CNT-AIT was the only anarcosyndicate to call for a boycott, speakfor themselves. It now remains to translate this distancing vis-à-vis the unionsinto a movement to resume the struggles.Like the current strike of SNCF controllers, launched by an autonomous collectiveof self-organized workers, refusing to play the game of representativeness andmedia spectacle by refusing to speak to the newspapers. Christophe Barbier, thefamous ultra-liberal columnist for BFMTV, made no mistake about it "it's thereturn of anarchosyndicalism, this doctrine based on the thought of Bakunin,which uses direct action, and refuses any trade union mediation between the bossand the workers.100 years later, the principles and tactics of the AIT would therefore not becompletely dead... As a pension reform is announced which will be bloody againstworkers and workers, it is up to us to amplify the movement for that finally, weare moving from successive defensive union defeats over the past 50 years to amassive and inventive offensive. To all the workers who have not completely losthope, the CNT-AIT opens its arms to them: join us!http://cntaittoulouse.lautre.net/spip.php?article1281http://cntaittoulouse.lautre.net/spip.php?article1283_________________________________________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
