Many French men and women are speculating today on the name of the
future Prime Minister, and are announcing their predictions on the
stupid vox pops on television screens, those clips that take themselves
for sociological surveys, like the frog that says, imitating the ox, 'I
croââ... that' ---- Others are playing the game of arithmetic
calculations of fractions: 1/3 + 1/3 =? But in this area too, without
consent, 1/3 + 1/3 will never make 2/3. ---- We ourselves, no doubt, are
also playing the game... It's because, even if their game of 'govern,
speak, lie' does not concern us theoretically, in everyday life, we too
suffer the consequences of these power games. Basically, a Barnier
government or a Faure government is not our problem, it is not the
question that anarchism must answer. We know, with Louise Michel, that
power is cursed, and that the libertarian society we are calling for has
no use for any government.
But we do not live in theory, and, on a daily basis, a prime minister
named Retailleau would not make us laugh much... And that even if it
smells like shit, it is still better than being plunged into it up to
our necks.
So we will follow all this with the anarchist perspective that is
required. And perspective is indeed required. Because the main subject,
the primordial subject today, is that of the populist and fascist
government of the National Rally.
Because the elected representatives of the Republic are entertaining the
gallery, but the games are over. Let the expression game not suggest
that we are living a playful episode. No, the subject could not be more
serious and tragic.
A fit of the blues
It was indeed the National Rally that made Barnier Prime Minister. It
was also the National Rally that dismissed him. It was still the
National Rally that, during these three months, pulled the strings and
that was asked for permissions, and to which we were accountable.
2027, or perhaps before, will only formalize a state of affairs. And
give free rein...
The far-right ideology has colonized minds, at Matignon and the Palais
Bourbon as well as at the Café du Commerce. Racist expressions (can we
talk about ideas?...) are becoming widespread, in the opinions
expressed, as in the jokes that we hear at the bar. The announced
fascism is not a problem, it is an exaggeration of intellectuals, of elites.
In December 2023,
(https://monde-libertaire.net/index.php?articlen=7632), in a post
entitled 'Boulevard Macron', we acknowledged the fascist power that had
settled in the country. Like the frog that slowly cooks without
realizing it, we are getting used to this state of affairs day by day,
even if we deplore it, even if we denounce it.
In June 2022, the entry into the Assembly of 89 RN deputies had caused a
small cataclysm. Today, there are a little less than double, and the
eyes converge on the finger of the dissolution of the Assembly, when
what this finger shows is the eclipse of democracy. 11 million RN
ballots in the ballot boxes, about a third of the Assembly colored RN!
No, but doesn't that make you puke?
Of course, we can name the person responsible, we can accuse the
political parties of acute Macronism. But, as we said in this December
2023 post, has the time not come to finally prepare ourselves?
"We're not going to die laughing..."
Are we ready? Have we learned the lessons of the installation of fascism
in power, as in Italy?
Already, like Georgia Meloni, the president of the Pays de la Loire
region, Christelle Morançais, is cutting 73% of the subsidies granted to
the world of culture, sport and the associative sector.
What will we do when, like the Carlo Cafiero group in Rome, we are
threatened with expulsion from our premises? What will we do when Radio
Libertaire can no longer make its voice heard? What will we do when our
undocumented brothers and sisters are driven out of their country of
exile? What will we do when the mornings are brown?
I ask myself these questions too. And what I would like is for us to be
able to find some answers together. The time has not come to prevent the
far right from gaining power. How can we stop the snowball from rolling
down the slope when it is already huge? The time has come to prepare for
the response.
"And that's not an understatement to say..."
