Since 2021, the prices of basic necessities have been increasing. Just look at
the price of gasoline, but also that of energy and food... Products that wecannot do without. Today refueling costs much more than in October 2018... whenthe Yellow Vests movement broke out! ---- The health crisis has triggered aneconomic crisis that has put tens of thousands of people out of work. And as inall crises, the richest have benefited. The 20 richest people on the planet havea combined fortune of more than 1,928 billion dollars... An increase of more than62%! At the same time, the minimum wage has only been increased by a few tens ofeuros... the famous runoff works backwards!There is money in the employers' coffersOne wonders where is the money we need to make ends meet, to increase oursalaries, to hire employees?The revelations of the Pandora Papers give us some indications. Part of thismoney is in tax havens, which surely finances a shareholder's new villa, hisoverpriced clothes and his new car. However, it is us, the workers who createthis wealth and the bosses, the shareholders who monopolize the profits. While wewere the ones who were forced to work during the pandemic, to work staggeredhours at the expense of our social life, and overtime to make ends meet...Before everything was privatized...We were told that the privatization of public services would lower prices, lies!Yet all public policies continue in a logic of privatization of profitable publicservices by offering them to private shareholders who enrich themselves bybreaking our social conquests as well as our public services. EDF-GDF, Motorway,Post and Telecom, etc...There was a time when these companies were nationalized, or under state control.We note that when the State manages public services, it ends up giving the mostprofitable to shareholders without our opinion, whereas without us there wouldnot be these productions and services. It is we who work, it is we who shouldcontrol them: let us recover our public services and manage them democraticallywithout the State at the service of employers....Let's revolt!Like many employees since December who are fighting for wages and jobs (LeroyMerlin, SNCF, Tipiak, Air Liquide...), one day you will have to say "No!»collectively, with our colleagues, to go on strike to show the exploiters - andshow ourselves - that we are the ones who run this society, from the hospital tothe fields to the factory and the shops , that without us they are nothing andthat we do not need them. We will then be able to reflect on a world that thinksfirst of all of the needs of each and everyone instead of thinking of the benefitof a minority, a society where working time would be distributed, wealth too...In short, a society rid of capitalism, this system that kills human beings andthe planet!Libertarian Communist Union, February 24, 2022.https://www.unioncommunistelibertaire.org/?INFLATION-NOUS-CREONS-LES-RICHESSES-ILS-S-ACCAPARENT-LES-PROFITS-ET-PRATIQUENT_________________________________________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
