For peace, against all wars! Abolition of borders! ---- Nearly 60
conflicts in the world. On every continent, particularly in Africa,Asia, and the Middle East. In the age of spectacle, the media focus on
certain hotbeds of war, Ukraine and Gaza, subject as they are to
geopolitical issues. They forget many others, such as Sudan, Yemen, the
Democratic Republic of Congo, the Sahel, Chad, and Myanmar, as well as
the wars waged by drug traffickers and paramilitary gangs in Colombia
and Mexico, or the war against women in Afghanistan and Iran. ---- Since
February 2022 and the start of the war in Ukraine, retired generals have
been populating the sets of news channels owned by far-right
billionaires and arms dealers. They assure obedient journalists that war
is upon us and that the time for carefree living is over. Flies have
smelled the carrion; it's finally time to lead the populace to
sacrifice, while extracting the few banknotes lingering in their pockets
to raise the billions needed for major rearmament.
Wherever it is located, the army's function is social control, alongside
the police and prisons. Whether it be an internal or external war,
"peacekeeping" or "humanitarian" war, its aim is always to contribute to
the development of capitalism. In times of "peace," every uprising,
every political or social demonstration, every criticism of the state
and its sovereign powers is subject to increasingly repressive laws in
the name of urgency and exception. In times of war, it is the civilian
population who suffer the most: drones, bombings, landmines, torture,
rape as a weapon of war, sexual slavery, forced displacement, etc.
Everything contributes to terrorizing populations in order to subjugate
and train them, often using religion and always patriarchy, in the
service of capitalism and the powerful.
Everything contributes to indoctrinating populations through deceptive
media campaigns to ensure their passivity, particularly targeting young
people by militarizing education (SNU Project).
The military-industrial complex ensures the militarization of society as
a whole, in terms of economic, nuclear, and military power, imposing
poverty, hunger, and environmental destruction, perpetuating colonialism
and slavery, erecting apartheid through militarized zones and border
walls, and reinforcing violence, particularly against women.
Therefore, the urgent need for pacifist and anti-militarist action aims
to dismantle all multinational military infrastructures and nuclear
arsenals worldwide, in favor of international demilitarization and
disarmament. And a call to movements of deserters, refuseniks*, workers,
farmers, feminists, anti-patriarchal, and anti-racist activists...
For over forty years, the brainwashing instituted, particularly in
France, from the Hernu-Savary protocol in 1982 to the current SNU, has
spread militarist ideology among young people. The pacifist and
anti-militarist urgency requires an education for peace that is
non-sexist, non-racist, and anti-capitalist.
Let us sow peace and social justice! Let us build anarchy!
