(en) France, Coordination of Anarchist Groups IAL #99 - The Antifascist Libertarian Campaign (fr, pt)

Why fascist libertarian campaign? And for what purpose? ---- The resurgence of acts 
fascist or fascistic character led us to wonder about the need to provide an appropriate 
response. Antifascist mobilizations followed demonstrations style "events for all" or "day 
of rage". These mobilizations were first echoes the murder of Clement Meric June 5, 2013, 
and more broadly to wild attacks by militant extreme right in Clermont-Ferrand, Lyon, 
Montpellier, Toulouse etc.. In addition to the appearance of various antifascist 
committees expanded in Lyon, Montpellier, Paris, Clermont-Ferrand, Perpignan ... he missed 
a coordination measure the threat of the return of fascist violence on the ground, in the 
street. Most organizations Libertarian Movement met on several occasions to provide a 
collective response to threats and violence.

antifascist Libertarian Campaign ( CLAF ) is born as a result of this process and includes 
Libertarian Alternative , the CNT and Coordination of Anarchist Groups . These 
organizations have jointly decided to give answers to anti-state, anti-electioneering 
character anticapitalist, and against all forms of discrimination and oppression: racism, 
xenophobia, sexism, lesbophobia, homophobia, transphobia etc.. They decided to bring 
together their thoughts, proposals and actions in the social field. G , the CNT and the 
CGA produced propaganda material suitable for this campaign. And a "4 pages", a poster and 
a set of stickers will decorate the different interventions, apparitions, panel 
discussions, press conferences taking place between 7 and 13 April 2014 in most cities 
where organizations the CLAF are present. Support libertarian organizations and / or local 
public, non stakeholder campaign at its origin, will obviously welcome when / they decide 
to join.

Our alternative to fascism and capitalism

The project proposes libertarian values and society completely opposite to those proposed 
by the fascists. Egalitarian and libertarian project is based on the sharing of wealth and 
economic and social equality in all areas of life. To move towards its realization, it is 
necessary to strengthen existing struggles against antisocial policies, popularize, 
support and initiate others in an anti-capitalist and anti-authoritarian perspective, 
enabling the development of capacity for direct management of all of the population in all 
areas. The eradication of fascism through the struggle against capitalism, the state is 
the best of its managers, racism, patriarchy and all forms of oppression and domination. 
Against the planned destruction of pensions, the announced reduction of rights of the 
unemployed and precarious, the continued closure of public services or redundancy plans 
endless, we must develop a radical social confrontation in companies, in neighborhoods and 
with the youth. It is again the general strike and blockade of the economy that we can 
defeat logical that we impose the dominant classes on behalf of the crisis and therefore 
eradicate what is the breeding ground for fascism.

Faced with social problems and political elections offer only illusions of solution and 
choice. It is not at the ballot box that will solve the economic crisis, inequalities and 
the development of fascism resulting therefrom. We must reject the manipulation of 
struggles for electoral purposes, which aims to establish the hegemony of institutional 
parties. Necessary social progress, only real ramparts facing the development of fascism, 
will be developing the struggles and organization in our businesses and neighborhoods. Our 
goal is to build an alternative to capitalism and the state, based on the reorganization 
and direct management of the economy and society by the workers, and that they have a job 
or not.

Face the resurgence of fascist violence, it seems essential to develop the anti-fascist 
popular self defense, collective and organized, without relying on the State demonstrated 
complacency assault against fascist groups, regardless proclamations of intent he could do 
so opportunistically.

Similarly, it is necessary to inform and raise awareness about the project and largely 
racist and dictatorial practices of the extreme right. It is urgent to act, to mobilize 
and to show solidarity during conducted and fascist violence, but it is also an urgent 
need to prevent the development of their hate speech on the internet and in rural areas 
and in small towns where the presence of anti-fascist organizations is less important. 
Faced with the fascists, we must organize to put them out of harm's way. Face the 
capitalists must unite to destroy their power and redistribute the wealth produced by the 
workers ? se ? s. Facing the state, take our own affairs and build a libertarian and 
egalitarian emancipatory social alternative.
