It is not in the political tradition of the UCL to practice doctrinaire
anti-electoralism, but it is still appropriate to question the electoralcommitment and the hopes that some people saw in it. Beyond preventing
the extreme right from coming to power, what will we remember from the
sequence that has just ended with the announcement of a government,
undoubtedly the most right-wing that we have seen in decades? ---- The
"republican barrier" is not an acquired reflex as soon as one moves away
from the political left. As we know, the right only accepted the
Republic from the moment they had the assurance that their class
interests would not be fundamentally called into question.
The "electoral game", made up of majority and opposition, of
alternation, is only valid within the framework of maintaining a policy
which does not call into question the right to property, free
enterprise, etc. And we have been able to see in recent years that the
"tolerance" which capitalists granted to policies of social justice was
increasingly restricted.
The People are sovereign... until they speak out against liberal dogmas
that are the catechism of capitalists and their lackeys. Otherwise,
there is repression, and it is becoming increasingly violent.
Our revolutionary, extra-parliamentary strategy of building
counter-powers is not a clique, nor a desire for radicalism for
radicalism's sake; it is the consequence of a materialist analysis.
Without any illusions about the great evening that would come from a
handful of politicians , it has always been through a strong social
movement that our victories have come about.
