Jean Marc Raynaud passed away on Monday, April 30th, at the hospital in Bordeaux. ---- His libertarian commitment began in May 1968 in Bordeaux. He became an activist with the Anarchist Federation (FA) a little later. ---- For JMR, having ideas and sharing them (even in controversial situations) was the bare minimum, but it mattered little if these ideas didn't lead to a project, a concrete action. ---- He therefore actively participated, with his whole personality, in the renewal, influence, and strengthening of the Anarchist Federation in many different ways.
By writing for Le Monde Libertaire or by co-founding journals such as Les Oeillets Rouges and Éditions Libertaires.But he preferred to act:
As early as the 1970s, he organized a Friends of the Earth group in Charente-Maritime and demonstrated against the Blayais nuclear power plant. Later, he would occupy the McDonald's in Rochefort with the local FA group and participate in GMO-destroying actions in his region.
But it was in education that he would do the most work, first through his writing, then by co-creating a self-managed daycare center, libertarian summer camps, and finally the Bonaventure school on the Île d'Oléron.
On a more festive note, he participated in the founding of the "Ni Dieu Ni Maître" (Neither God Nor Master) Grand Prize, a truly farcical event in Merlieux.
One of his proudest achievements was avenging Kronstadt and N. Makhno by winning the pétanque tournament organized by the PCF (French Communist Party) of St. Georges d'Oléron!
Since the word "solidarity" only had meaning in action, his home was always open, sometimes a little too open. He was even arrested along with his partner, Thyde Rosell, for harboring a Basque terrorist... for three years!
In Domino, the café-tabac-newsagent lost its best customer.
And me even more so.
