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

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.

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!
