From page 11 The Chefresne, news of anti THT

In the last Alternating Current (Summer 2012), a brief summary of the camp of anti-THT 
Chefresne 22-24 June 2012 was done. We will try here to briefly detail the events 
surrounding the anti-THT, during the summer and during the month of September, which 
followed the camp, and that will follow.

Full economic slowdown and dwindling public funding, it is difficult to diagnose the 
future of this project officially still necessary, but rationality is increasingly 
tarnished, facing an opposition that is preparing the response.

page 18 Another new treaty rights leaders still in their boots

This month, members will vote to ratify a "new" European treaty umpteenth version of the 
Maastricht Treaty. Obviously, no government would propose again to risk a referendum. This 
game treaties that follow and look is a bit boring, and it becomes increasingly difficult 
to navigate between posturing on the "emergency" (emergency that nothing changes?), 
Bragging about concessions obtained (which?) and dealt out against truths as self-evident.

Issues that raise questions without really surprise

Let's entrance gatherings anarchists usually have no significance in relation to the 
current political situation - there is nothing in this claim, if past history and 
founding. It does not even to defend orientation, political approach more or less 
alternative to those parties, trade unions and other "internal opposition" to the system.

Social revolution or just a change of personnel policy? A friend gives us the perspective 
of an association Egyptian born fifteen years ago to defend the peasants then expelled 
from their land, and with whom he has spent three months.

Editorial - Structuring struggles for enlargement essential

The traditional working class on every continent struggle today against the intolerable 
conditions imposed, or even outright liquidation. Miners in South Africa, Bolivia or 
Asturian, Chinese workers at Foxconn (Apple), USW Lorraine, Apulia (see article p.6) or 
Piraeus, Breton sailors or Boulogne, Paris in the automotive and agri morbihanais-food, it 
is impossible to count the outbreak of resistance! The credit crisis, initiated in 2007 by 
the U.S. real estate via Western banks, today expands to all economic activities. Even 
states with a comfortable double-digit growth suffer a downturn, which is formidable to 
negotiate.

The most dramatic political consequences are known, with results sometimes sinister: 
overthrow dictatorial regimes (Tunisia, Libya, Egypt) with shock waves (Syria, Mali), 
aggressive rise of nationalism (Japan, China, Korea) and accelerate preparations for war 
(Israel, Iran). On a smaller scale, the populations most vulnerable are hurt: Immigrants 
stabbed and chased through the streets of Athens or Thessaloniki by neo-Nazis of Golden 
Dawn and their deputies (!) Roma settlements burned by the inhabitants of a northern 
district of Marseille and Bulgaria by the decision of the Mayor ... The strange stranger, 
neighbor or simply different, becomes the scapegoat: the "anti white" Coppé responds to 
custody for 16 hours established by Valls for undocumented migrants.

If the reactionaries of all stripes are the head, people are looking for a response. 
Greece has experienced September 26th, his third year general strike against new budget 
cuts, Spain, Indignados have tried, under the blows police encircle Parliament to hold a 
Constituent Assembly always in a process very citizenist facing a power under the pressure 
of claims Catalan and world bankers. The same week, a similar mobilization shook Portugal. 
The major unions in these countries manage the situation for the moment, channeling anger 
in symbolic days, as we experienced during the movement pensions in 2009.

The French government also prepares him to cut social spending and increase taxes for a 
good part of the population. But socialists are quite clever in their communication and 
every government statement deserves to look twice. For nuclear, Holland promises to stop 
the Fessenheim in 2016 (by then, the price of electricity blaze and provide a good reason 
for extending ...). Another smoker statement, the Minister of Economy said that only 10% 
of the richest population will increase their taxes in 2013, without reporting a measure 
taken by Fillon in 2011 froze the tax thresholds, making switch numerous taxpayers in the 
top tax bracket (1-10% increase) by simple adjustment of wages to inflation ... All these 
fakes do not prevent a meltdown accelerated the coast of Holland Ayrault in the polls. And 
for good reason! The government is unable to stop the closures and rising unemployment.

The union responses are hardly up to the situation. On the occasion, we will have a 
national day of action to defend workers. Already facing a moderate leftist government 
power are unable to seize the opportunity of this crisis and the extent of the impasse 
productivism to propose another type of production, including a review of the so-called 
labor cost - financially - and introducing the notions of social utility and choice of 
production.

In European countries most affected by the crisis, this questioning economism develops 
slowly and diffuse lack of credible medium-term solutions. Even if the citizen discourse 
and soothing attempts to integrate these analyzes, their dependents subversive is real. 
Some-es to escape without a present perspective, engage in practical experiments 
collective life (as in Greece, Spain or France ...), but it is rather on the basis of 
affinity and outside urban centers, when the experiment is intended overtly political, as 
a critical note of the current living conditions and an example of self-organization to 
follow (CREA Toulouse can be considered as well), even if the initiative s proves to be 
profitable for the public finances, the political cost is unbearable for the state and its 
administration, which can not accept the autonomy of even a small part of the population. 
Only a massive movement seems quite able to maintain and enforce its problems. The issue 
of structuring struggles for enlargement rests therefore essential in the short term, for 
a critique of productivism and development practice have some chance to flourish.
