Clero-fascists are going to pass through Prague again. They won't have
it easy because "Prague is and will be feminist". Download, print and
distribute the March issue of the A3 wall newspaper! ---- Another
so-called March for Life should pass through Prague on April 6. However,
the only thing this business has in common with life is that it wants to
make it worse and more uncomfortable, especially for women and queer
people. The march is organized by the Movement for Life, whose name
tries to give the impression of some kind of organic people's movement
at first glance. However, this is only a very poor cover for what this
organization really is: a very well-funded and networked lobbying group
that has quietly crept into every corner of the government over the past
years. Even in the parliament, the roast is cooked, and with the support
of its friends from ANO to People's Party to ODS, it whispers sweet
words into honored ears. In his agenda, he particularly pushes for the
restriction of reproductive rights with the ultimate goal of a complete
ban on abortion. In addition, they fight against sex education, the
existence of queer people, conventions to suppress violence against
women and try to protect us from the fabled "gender ideology".
Of course, the regressive March for Life enjoys a lot of support from
many conservative politicians and leaders of the Catholic Church, who
seem to remember the (literally) golden era when the church controlled
everything from family life to education to politics. The chairman of
the Movement for Life, Radim Uchác, said that "banning abortion is only
ten percent" of what they want. It is up to everyone's imagination where
it would have gone if we had not first actively resisted the stealthy
and increasingly bold demands of the klerofascists. So far, they are
manifesting themselves in verbal attacks on everyone who does not fit
into their depraved idea of the ideal person - a God-fearing and
command-obeying mental cripple in everything. What would happen if they
felt no resistance?
Their agile struggle, or rather holy war, against the rights and
freedoms of queer people is manifested in perversions, such as the
spread of books on the so-called conversion therapy of homosexuals. They
do not consider the various kinds of diversity to be "God's purpose"
because in their fanatical drive they are more divine than their
imaginary god. It is they, the oppressors of all possible oppressive
religions, not only the Christian ones, who divinely interpret what is
and what is not "God's intention". An example from the first months of
the Russian (murderous, but consecrated by the Orthodox Patriarch
Kirill) invasion of Ukraine points to their insensitivity - perhaps
ridiculous for now. That's when the Movement for Life decided to oppose
a public fundraiser for abortion pills for raped women, recommending
that they buy horns instead. As if she could stop the armed and
rampaging occupiers with impunity. Needless to say, if a woman were to
become pregnant due to rape, abortion should be prohibited according to
pseudo-thinkers from the Movement for Life. And it is hard to believe
the pleasant advertising campaign that the March for Life is mainly
about protecting the family and children, when in the past Jan Graubner
- the archbishop who covered a pedophile priest who raped ministers
entrusted to him - was so fond of speaking at marches. Similarly, we
could continue for a long time. But we can clearly see from this that
the Movement for Life is not about children at all, but above all about
control and suppression of human freedom and autonomy. It is an
anti-women initiative. Although she defended herself against this
designation in court when she sued the weblog A2larm, the court had to
give the defendant the truth.
The March for Life is clearly an annual demonstration of regressiveness
and obscurantism, a call for a kind of return to the age of the
all-embracing power of religious dogma, an effort to legitimize
xenophobia, discrimination and hostility towards otherness.
We, the anarchists, already in the 19th century carried the torch that
shed light on the dark picture of a society bound by religious
prejudices and controlled by kings, capitalists and priests in such a
way as to keep the broad underprivileged classes in a subordinate
position. Our torch of enlightenment, rebellion, hope and freedom shed
light on their instruments of subjugation - ignorance, poverty,
superstition, nationalism and the police baton.
We feel that the forces are coming to speak, bringing with them the
darkness that we hoped was banished once and for all. The torch needs to
be raised again and the obscurantism now represented by the Pro-Life
Movement must be confronted. And so we will certainly not be absent from
the blockade of their march on April 6. If you want to join, we will
meet at 12.30 on Malostranské námestí in Prague.
The A3 wall newspaper is published by the Anarchist Federation every
month. They are mainly intended for dissemination through plastering in
the streets or posting in workplaces and schools.
