No GREEN PASS… sure! But also No Capitalism, No Patriarchy, No God, No Borders, No Cops, No State…
It is difficult to insert oneself clearly within a public discourse when the world of communication has trained us (and dumbed us down) to choose and/or shout only “Yes!” and “NO!”: just like the binary system of the machines that rule our lives. Like football fans in a stadium.
And so behind a slogan as direct as it is reduced, such as “NO GREEN PASS”, there are dozens of very different nuances, even in opposition to one another, and we are taking the liberty of alerting those who, in all sincerity, are coming out into the streets against this umpteenth measure of cop-like control, which has nothing to do with “being healthy”. If the method of organization through social networks can also make these initiatives extremely horizontal (for example the revolts after the murder of George Floyd in the USA), on the other hand the vagueness of the web allows politicians/demagogues to camouflage themselves. (Our choice in this respect remains that of seeing one another, talking to one another, knowing one another, without schema).
This is the case with various sovereignist and fascist parties (Forza Nuova – which are now vomitously calling themselves the Patriots, Fratelli d’Italia and Casapound foremost, as well as the League when it disguises itself as “civic committee”) which are riding the protest against the military-health regime, trying to monopolize it.
For our part our reality is far more complex than a derby between “No-Vax” and “Yes-Vax” and other instrumental reductions: as complex as it is dramatically simple. The Green Pass is only the latest (for now) piece in a system of widespread control which planted its roots decades ago: the restructuring in course has invented nothing, it has only speeded things up.
As far as we are concerned, opposing a single repressive measure can be a step towards breaking up generalised inertia, but it would be a mistake to stop there without questioning the whole apparatus that generates this repression, only strengthening the opportunists of the political slime.
We know very well that as long as capitalism (be it State or Global) exists there will be poverty, wars, environmental devastation, epidemics, exploitation of human on human and on other animals.
We don’t do “united front” with those who have always defended capital (even with the Italian flag), and who, after shouting in the streets, if all goes well, will sit at the negotiation table.
For as long as cops kill in the streets and in the jails, for as long as armies massacre in order to plunder territories, for as long as patriarchy kills and terrorizes women and not “standardised” individuals; as long as there is technology dominating our lives by impoverishing us and taking skills and knowledge away from us, we will be at war against the existent. All of it. Perhaps a struggle without end…
AGAINST EVERY CONTROL, AGAINST EVERY LAW, AGAINST EVERY AUTHORITY!
FOR THE SELF-DETERMINATION OF INDIVIDUALS AND COLLECTIVITIES: RELENTLESS STRUGGLE AGAINST THE TECHNO-INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM, THE SUPREME BREEDING GROUND OF ALL OUR NIGHTMARES!
SELF-ORGANIZATION, DIRECT ACTION, CONFLICTUAL SOLIDARITY
