(M31+X) International call for action - Break on through! Overcoming capitalism!

International Autonomous Commiittee against capitalist normality | 25.03.2012 02:18

This call is no deep theoretical analysis, nor just a wish for another ruthless riot. In this call, we want to concentrate on the existential crisis of late capitalism, characterized by neoliberalism doctrine and the “no alternative” ideology – and what this can mean for the whole system, that we want to get rid of. We want to take a look at the reactions of this crisis-capitalism: how its supporters want to save it, how the fascists want (again) to benefit of it. Finally, we want to think about our past and present experiences, in order to formulate a radical answer for the liberated society we aim for.

This call can be usefull for the future anticapitalist mobilizations but also for our everyday struggles.

- Break on through - Overcoming crisis-capitalism -

Subprime crisis, credit crisis, bank crisis, petrol crisis, financial crisis, Euro crisis, state debt crisis, Greek crisis, Irish crisis, Portuguese crisis... Social crisis, immigration crisis, housing crisis... Actually there is only one crisis. Capitalism is the crisis, a way to manage the world...

Precarity is the norm, temp work, low salaries and unemployment for all! No more archaisms like social security, health insurance, pensions, the progress is on its way. It already went to the southern world in the great times of colonialism. Nowadays the South goes further North every year...

Barbed wire, uniforms and camps of fortress-Europe humiliate, exclude and persecute thousands of women, men and children. Racism is not hidden anymore, it has become a public and profitable business, sometimes a national sport. Police and armies are in the streets, with their guns, cameras and helicopters. Control is everywhere, in your ID chip, and in a DNA file for the luckiest. Terrorist laws are used to legitimize repression.
Resistances must not grow up.

The media keeps the lid on the pot that is starting to boil over: games, shows, dreams and games again. Breaking news: protests result of the action of professional agitators and young immigrants. Back to normality. The communication agencies are doing their best to convince us to keep up consumption, while we can hardly pay rent and food. The snake is eating its own tail.

Tons of petrol wasted in the oceans, billions of plastic bags decorating the lands, Ibiza in the North pole and Fukushima mon amour. Animals becoming extinct show the way to the future generations...

Capitalism creates great opportunities!
