Monday, October 27 (4 PM - 6 PM) ---- Pierre Bance, author of Another
Future for Kurdistan? Libertarian Municipalism and Democratic
Confederalism and The Fascinating Democracy of Rojava. The Social
Contract of the Federation of Northern Syria, is publishing a landmark
book with Noir & Rouge: ---- The Great Federation - Direct Democracy and
Federal Life. ---- He recalls the hopes of emancipation towards "another
future": ---- "All over the planet, in cities and countryside alike,
women and men are seeking to change the world by decolonizing their
imagination from state and market alienation. All are choosing direct
democracy as a mode of organization." ---- But it is not enough to
aspire to a society of federated communes; it is necessary to prepare
for this change well in advance: to develop a social contract describing
"the institutions of self-administration signaling the end of the State
and the institutions of self-management enacting the end of Capital."
For Pierre Bance, the time has come to go on the offensive; to consider
solutions that could bring about a shift towards communalism and
libertarian federalism.
The interest and complexity of this work require several broadcasts.
Following those of September 29 and October 13, this broadcast will
address "the dynamics of convergence to the social contract":
- Various attempts thwarted by party co-optations (World Social Forum)
or by the survival of Trotsky-Leninist genes (creation of the New
Anti-Capitalist Party): "The party form has once again shown itself to
be an obstacle to the emancipatory revolution."
In Turkey and Syria, the Kurds are attempting to establish a popular
movement that unites at the community or neighborhood level. Limitations
are imposed in particular by the unfavorable political and military
context and the survival of Leninism among some minority PKK militants.
- How can we imagine and organize a different future? "The old society
will be overthrown by those better organized than it": Pierre Bance
proposes coordinating "all those who identify with direct democracy,
autonomous communities, and federalism" into a "Movement for Direct
Democracy" organized around local unions, a prefiguration of future
communities.
Monday, November 3 (4 PM - 6 PM)
During the meetings organized in mid-August in the Caulnes community
center (Côtes d'Armor) by several groups of the Anarchist Federation,
the Friday evening panel discussion was of great interest to the large
number of attendees: the topic was Artificial Intelligence (AI),
addressed by Patrick, who has been intimately familiar with this field
since its inception.
The exponential growth of investment in many countries is beginning to
generate various applications. The first interested parties are, of
course, armies and security forces (drones, unmanned aircraft, facial
recognition, etc.).
Patrick showed how the utopia of replacing humans with machines is
likely to turn into a nightmare, leading to a true dystopia if we don't
react quickly.
Radio Libertaire was present and recorded the presentation and the
responses to the many questions from the audience.
Monday, November 10 (4 PM - 6 PM)
On October 5, the "Anarchist Book Fair" was held in Merlieux (Aisne)
with a large attendance. Radio Libertaire recorded two presentations
followed by answers to questions:
- Gérard Mordillat discussed an important event in sixteenth-century
Germany, illustrated in a comic book for which he wrote the script: The
Peasants' War.
Overwhelmed by poverty, led by the monk Thomas Münzer, tens of thousands
of peasants plundered monasteries, freed nuns, and burned castles.
- Louis Armel, bookseller and founder of the independent publishing
house "La Lucarne des Ecrivains," read poems by Ziad Medoukh, who lives
in Gaza and recently published "Cry of Love for Gaza - 50 Poems from
Gaza, from Palestine for Life, Hope, Peace, and Solidarity, in the Midst
of Carnage." It expresses the fabulous dream of living again in a free
and happy country, or of dying there...
