globe_l: Premier Mai anarchiste a Bratislava (Slovaquie)
|
Vous trouverez ci-joint le rapport commun sur le
premier Mai de la section Slovaque de l'AIT, ainsi
que de la Federation Anarchiste et de
l'ORA-Solidarité.
Premier Mai anarchiste a Bratislava
Un peu plus de 120 militants des trois groupes
organisateurs (PAKOP-AIT, FA, ORAS) ont participé
a un rassemblement dans le centre ville de la
capitale slovaque.
Un intervenant, pour la FA, a rappele les racines
historiques et la tradition anarchiste du Premier
Mai. Un militant de l'ORA est ensuite intervenu
pour attiré l'attention des participants sur la
signification de l'internationalisme dans le
mouvement ouvrier et a appele a une mobilisation
internationale contre le sommet de l'OTAN, qui
aura lieu a Prague en 2002. Enfin, un militant de
la section slovaque de l'AIT a pointé les
problemes sociaux actuels des travailleurs et a
presente le modele alternatif d'auto organisation
que propose l'anarchosyndicalisme.
De nombreux jeunes, sans implication politique,
ont participe a ce meeting, et semblent avoir ete
interesses par les ides de l'anarchisme
revolutionnaire. Quelques neo nazis nous
regardaient egalement, a distance, mais nous
n'avons pas eu a intervenir car ils sont partis
d'eux meme assez rapidement.
Ce premier Mai Anarchiste etait seulement le
second dans l'histoire slovaque (et le premier qui
fut médiatise). C'est pour nous un important pas
dans le processus de construction d'un mouvement
revolutionnaire anarchiste slovaque.

-------------------------------------------
Discours de la section slovaque :
> PA-AKOP-IWA/AIT speech held on 1st May in
Bratislava:
>
> First May is a symbol of struggle against our
oppression. It is today, when
> we remind the 115th year from the time when
revolutionary workers decided
> that they themselves by direct action will take
back what belongs to them.
> In a time of mass growth of capitalism they
refused to drill 10-16 hours a
> day and went on strike for 8 hour working day.
> In the beginning of 21st century we once again
witness big expansion of
> capitalism, also called economic globalisation.
It has impacts also on
> Slovak society. The most visible effects are
growing gap between rich and
> poor and submission to dictates of international
institutions of elites like
> International Monetary Fund, World Bank,
European Investment Bank and
> others. However, Slovak labour movement is not
reacting to these processes.
> Each of us has been thinking, not once, about
the consequences of today
> order, or rather disorder, and about the ways to
break free from this social
> insecurity. As for the consequences, last 11
years since the fall of East
> bloc have brought us change from one party
government to so-called "plural
> democracy" and state planned economy turned into
market economy. But for the
> workers it has not meant fullfilment of their
desires for better future and
> so many times proclaimed freedom. Freedom has
been degraded to freedom to
> vote people for who we are indifferent and to
freedom to buy. Fear of state
> power was replaced by the fear of own social
survival. Real wages are
> dropping, living costs increase, we face 20 %
unemployment, young cannot
> have families as they cannot afford flats,
pensioners are forced to have
> miserable diet. Up to 16 000 railway workers is
to be laid off till 2007.
> There are attempts to lay off 10 000 health
workers. Government plans to
> pass paying of university fees and starts a
process of their transformation
> into servants of a market. Working burden of
workers grows as well as
> pressure in families. Unpaid wages and
overtimes, willfulness of the
> employers, feeling of helplesness among
workers - that's the reality of the
> day.
> The reason is undoubted. It is capitalism and
representative democracy, we
> can say "capitalist democracy" which reminds a
greedy machine for production
> of human and ecological misery. On the one side,
there are employers,
> politicians and their repressive forces who are
freed from obligations
> towards employees, the old, the young, the ill,
the unemployed, freed from
> obligations towards community and nature. On the
other side, there are us -
> workers, students, unemployed and others in a
socially insecure situation
> who work on the first and at the same time
create the most basic values of
> society.
> Working class is able to get free from this
state only by organising on
> workplaces, in communities and schools. This has
largely to be a task of
> union organisations. But what are they doing
today? Are they organisations
> that defend workers rights? Isn't all they do
just a sucking of fees of the
> rank and file and pacifying their resistance?
Do they encourage
> self-activity, initiative and self-emancipation
of workers? I believe we all
> know the answers. And whole this circus called
social partnership which
> claims common interests of workers, government
and employers and of which
> the present unions are part is at the same time
the last nail to the coffin
> of economic and social struggle of workers.
> If we are to get free from this situation,
reorganisation is needed. We need
> new union organisations - directly democratic
and without bureaucrats -
> organisations of rank and file under their
collective control that really
> fight for our rights and where each of us is the
one who decides. Such
> organisations are anarchosyndicalist unions.
No-one will build them for us
> as well as no-one will bring our emancipation.
Only us ourselves. Therefore,
> we have to organise in a mass movement, we have
to join our forces, build a
> bond of solidarity and self-confidence. We have
to struggle by direct
> action!
> But we cannot be satisfied only with the basic
struggle against lay-offs and
> for our other rights. Today, when technological
progress has reached
> unprecendented size but above all when we face
huge unemployment and at the
> same time a situation of underemployment at many
workplaces, it is a prime
> time to remind over 100 years old struggle and
demand 6 hour working day. A
> demand for 30 hour working week is actual and
legitimate. If this system is
> not able to fullfil it, it is just another sign
of necessity to replace it
> by another one. We are taking back only what
belongs to us. If till now we
> had to feel their reality, employers and
politicians should now feel our
> tough reality!
> Capitalism is a slap in the face and is not able
to fulfill even the basic
> needs of billions of people! However, stalinist
regime was nor just, neither
> it was a communism - it was a state capitalism.
The time for real
> alternative has come - self-managed, federalist
society of freedom and
> equality. We can put its basis already now in
our organisations.
> Anarchosyndicalism is the means,
anarchocommunism is the end.
> Without capitalism and the state! Without
employers, politicians and union
> bureaucrats! Workers for the workers !
