WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE FRANCE - news journal UPDATE - (en) France, Lamouette Enragee: Hi Henri... "For Marxists, I am an anarchist and for anarchists, I am a Marxist." (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Henri Simon left us on December 16, 2024. If we happened to meet him in

Paris, our exchanges were above all letters. Henri always took the care
and time to respond fraternally to our requests. Whether we were looking
for some text or document that we assumed to be in his files or simple
information, we were assured of his response. Thus, he dug up his
correspondence with the CCOPLR - Comité de la Côte d'Opale pour la
Promotion des Luttes Radicales - a short-lived group of councilist and
surrealist activists located in Berck and Boulogne-sur-mer in the early
1970s. In the same way, he sent us copious documentation produced at the
time by the SLT - Syndicat de Lutte des Travailleurs d'Usinor Dunkerque
- which we returned to the last activists of this now-defunct autonomous
union and with whom we had remained in contact...

Henri also knew how to share his disagreements with us. Thus, he
maintained that we were wasting our time trying to conduct a workers'
survey in the current period. Our views also diverged on the nature and
meaning of the yellow vest movement or the influence of ICT on wage
earners...

A thought for his loved ones. Boulogne-sur-mer, 18/12/2024

HENRI SIMON - THE STORY OF A (NON-)MILITANT

French with English subtitles |50 min | 2018 |
Henri Simon, 95, has spent the last 50 years participating, reading and
writing about workers' struggles. His family, his friendships, his
dreams have been shaped by this political activity, constituting the
daily life of a full-time activist who has nevertheless always refused
any specific role in the unfolding of the class struggle, remaining
faithful to the idea that all revolutionary change should be brought
about by the workers themselves.
