A-Infos (en) France, OCL CA #336 - Who is afraid of anti-industrial criticism? by Saint-Nazaire (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

See online: A text from the Collectif RUPTURES, available on its site 
https://collectifruptures.wordpress.com/ ---- "When we talk to you about 
ideas, you answer people. You will tell my comrades (...) that I am a 
counter-revolutionary. If they believe you, I pity them..." ---- Louise 
Bodin, oppositional communist activist, letter to the Central Committee 
of the PCF, November 20, 1927[1]. ---- In the 1960s, some theorized a 
critique of the emerging "consumer society". It was the time when the 
cultural industry had decided to invest our "free time", our "leisure". 
From simple exploited producers, we also became alienated consumers. In 
our 2020s, the omnipresence of digital technology is renewing this 
cultural industry and its penetration into the smallest aspects of our 
lives. We consult our smartphones several hundred times a day, overload 
the Gafam with data and stupefy ourselves in front of a continuous flow 
of images... Not to mention the control possibilities allowed by these 
technologies.

To combat this "Spectacle Society"[2]2.0, our collective finds one of 
its supports in so-called "anti-industrial" theses. However, it turns 
out that the anti-industrial movement is currently under heavy fire from 
critics. According to some writings, anti-industrialists - including us, 
no doubt - are "reactionaries", "proto-fascists", "covido-negationists" 
and "complacent with the extreme right" and it is a question of 
"elevating "anti-fascist dikes", that is to say, to make 
anti-industrialists undesirable in social struggles[3]. Let's go! Who is 
afraid of anti-industrial criticism?

Critical thinking vs excommunication

Let's talk about us. Our collective was formed in 2021, during the 
health pass protest. Basically, two feelings: on the one hand, a 
spontaneous rejection of this measure which appeared to us all to be 
liberticidal, discriminatory and authoritarian; on the other hand, a 
very strong desire to exchange, to discuss and share our analyses. These 
two feelings might seem contradictory. One is of the order of certainty, 
of affirmation. The other involves questioning, uncertainty. In reality, 
the two are complementary: it is because we had anger in common that we 
were able to build a space for reflection which leaves room for 
disagreements and individual expression. It was because we had built a 
space for discussion that we imagined publishing a small journal which 
echoed our thoughts: we compared our ideas and, based on what seemed to 
us to be common, we expressed , proposed debates and wrote texts.

We distributed these texts in anti-pass demonstrations and in places 
affiliated with the anti-capitalist movement. We wanted to make our 
position heard. Indeed, the dominant tone of the anti-pass/anti-vax 
movement, where many conspiratorial discourses circulated, seemed far 
too confused to us (even if certain groups were trying to stimulate a 
dynamic of social demands). Mirroring this, the almost total absence of 
left-wing forces, of activists accustomed to defending the notions of 
equality and social justice, also posed a problem for us. On this point, 
and this is what motivated the choice of the name of our collective, we 
found ourselves at odds with the majority of our comrades, who had 
chosen to desert, when not to denigrate this movement, accused 
(sometimes rightly) of relaying libertarian positions. We preferred to 
see it as a movement protesting a repressive measure, a movement which 
opposed the acceleration of technological control of populations. The 
pandemic, which is very real, was the occasion for the establishment of 
unprecedented technological and political means of control which, in our 
opinion, prefigure the authoritarian management to come. It seemed 
obvious to us to participate in this movement, but by defending, to the 
extent of our strength, the anti-authoritarian and egalitarian positions 
that are ours.

Clarification that if we wanted to make our position heard, it was not a 
question of educating the supposedly ignorant masses, of lecturing, nor 
of highlighting our political identity, but of sharing a political 
position, hoping that she echoes, that she meets the concerns of other 
demonstrators. Faced with the presence of conspiratorial and far-right 
discourse, we did not want to "draw lines" or "raise dikes", but to go 
to the meeting. Indeed, a bias guides us: not to take people for 
imbeciles. The ideas that we defend are not a morality to which we 
should adhere, as in an act of faith. We ask readers to consider them, 
to think about them, to exercise their critical thinking and to take 
from our texts what interests them. We are betting that in this era of 
technological surge and authoritarian tightening of power, libertarian 
and technocritical ideas can meet popular concerns and resonate.

The reasons for the dialectic

Obviously, when we take a position, it is also in the name of moral 
imperatives, of a certain idea of what is "good" or "bad". We all have 
ethics, a system of values. It is these which allow us to judge the 
justice or injustice of this or that measure, which provoke anger or 
appeasement in us (anger, most often). Ethics is the basis of personal 
judgment, it is one of the bases of commitment.

This is why political movements which renounce ethics to prefer only 
strategy and pseudo "efficiency" are condemned to transforming 
themselves into cold bureaucratic machines for crushing individuals[4]. 
An error committed by a number of communist movements claiming to follow 
Lenin and which over the course of the 20th century caused numerous 
victims among sincere revolutionaries (including Louise Bodin, cited at 
the beginning of this text) suffering from the "Stalinization" of 
communist parties and confronted in this framework has a quantity of 
slander, insults and exclusion lawsuits[5].

But the opposite is no better. When a movement is based entirely on 
poorly defined pseudo "ethical provisions", without taking into account 
the real political landscape, this results in a politics of good 
feelings which can just as easily create a machine to crush individuals. 
It is common knowledge that significant sections of the libertarian 
movement indulge in this state of mind, calling for moral positions... 
and exclusion, which is the corollary. Sort the Pure from the Impure, 
put problematic texts on the index, classify things (and people!) 
between Good and Bad. Call for individual redemption to achieve 
collective salvation. Part of the radical movement seems to have set 
itself the objective of reforming individuals. We note, with regret, 
that some people think they are doing politics when they are only doing 
ethics and that within French radical circles, the idea of "impurity" is 
increasingly prevalent. This is what is at stake with the latest text of 
criticism of the anti-industrial movement[6].

In a libertarian and leftist movement with vague borders, this race for 
purity can nourish a "liberal" version of Stalinization, in which there 
is no need for a Central Committee to pronounce exclusions (since there 
is no no membership card, but interpersonal links and a decentralized 
"network" of affinity groups). Social networks have replaced Pravda: a 
brochure or a podcast can be enough to gain authority and purify the 
movement "because, you see, this guy is really problematic, yeah, I read 
it in a brochure I think" .

On the contrary, the exercise we are trying to engage in is to 
articulate ethical conceptions that are personal to each member of our 
group, with political intervention in a complex era. This calls for 
constant reflection on the connection between ethics and politics. We 
cannot see the world in black and white. Our political radicalism needs 
a nuanced vision, and a dialectical reflection allowing us to better 
understand our contradictory times. Each member of the collective is not 
required to agree with everything that is noted in our readings, or with 
everything that is publicly stated by a person or group that we invite 
or interview. And fortunately.

Down with alienation!

It is in this context that we draw inspiration from the anti-industrial 
criticism, carried by the movement of the same name. Anti-industrial 
ideas? A set of texts and analyzes which emphasize a critique of 
alienation in advanced capitalist societies, in continuity with the 
ideas of the Situationist International[7]and, to a lesser extent, of 
the School of Frankfurt[8]. The anti-industrial movement was formed in 
the 1980s and 1990s around the journal and publishing house Encyclopédie 
des Nuisances[9]. The name was proposed in the early 2000s during the 
movement against GMOs by the magazine In extremis . Since then, his work 
has been extended by publishing houses such as L'Échappée, La Roue, La 
Lenteur or Le monde à l'envers, by the Écran Total network or the Pieces 
and main d'oeuvre group. A good part of the activity of this movement 
being turned outward, its ideas permeate other circles and are 
re-appropriated by multiple people.

At the center of the reflections of this current, there is the idea that 
what we call "Progress" is above all a progress of alienation. That 
capitalist society, although it constantly claims to be based on Science 
and Reason, is above all unreasonable, because its triumphant Reason is 
in fact an abstract calculative reason which has no use for individuals, 
communities, ecosystems and species, and which favors the growth of 
profit and the centralization of power. A headlong rush which, if it 
promises us a final catastrophe, is already producing political, 
geopolitical, sociological and psychological effects, and - 
paradoxically - a massive adhesion of the inhabitants of developed and 
developing countries to the ideals and practices promoted by the system. 
This adhesion can be intellectual, or even sometimes quasi-religious, 
but (fortunately) it is rare. More often, we are content to adhere in 
practice to the capitalist way of life. And how else can you do it? 
There is no outside. We live in this world, and whatever our individual 
efforts to reduce the gap between what we would like to experience and 
what we actually experience, we evolve in a society where the default 
social relations are based on profit, control, competition and 
domination, where food is found in supermarkets that enrich 
shareholders, where information is found in newspapers or sites owned by 
capitalist groups, where we deposit our savings in bank accounts that 
make us prosper financial power, where we write our texts, including 
this one on an HP PC... Nothing separates us from the shit that 
surrounds us[10]! On a daily basis, we enrich those who exploit us, we 
buy what possesses us, we consume what consumes us.

This dissonance is alienation, the fact of "becoming a stranger to 
oneself". In the texts of Karl Marx, alienation is a process by which a 
subject (an individual) is stripped of what makes him a human being, to 
transform him into another, or even into something hostile to him. 
same[11]. This is what happens to us almost every moment in this world, 
where economic interests are in blatant contradiction with the interests 
of humanity. No doubt all social systems produce alienation, but 
capitalism relies entirely on it, it generalizes it. What's more, 
communications strategists tell us: "buy Nike, it will allow you to 
become yourself." They want to make us individually desire what we 
experience socially[12]. Alienation is therefore an adhesion, but a 
constrained adhesion, in which the individual "will have to permanently 
deny himself, if he wants to be considered at all (...). This existence 
in fact postulates an ever-changing loyalty, a series of constantly 
disappointing adherence to fallacious products. It's about running fast 
behind the inflation of depreciated signs of life.»[13]

In our society, two major elements contribute to maintaining alienation: 
on the one hand the rise in the standard of living, that which leads us 
to "run fast": a new smartphone every two years and a comfortable level 
of consumption in the West , although ultimately incompatible with 
natural resources; on the other hand, ideology, which allows us to cover 
with a modest and very practical veil the sad reality produced by 
generalized exploitation, to not think about the final consequences of 
our actions... and not to lose control at each moment in the face of 
capitalist reality!

For social criticism

Anti-industrial criticism is therefore above all a social criticism, a 
criticism of current society, of its power relations and its 
contradictions; and if it is critical of technology, it is only by 
repercussion, having identified technology as one of the major agents of 
the advance of the capitalist system. For our part, if we are interested 
in technology, it is not because we are techno-obsessive but because it 
is central to society. In fact, the anti-industrial movement is an 
update of anti-capitalism.

Anti-industrial criticism is a social criticism, which means that it 
fights against the social relations in which we are caught, in the name 
of another conception of society. Clearly inscribed in the (critical) 
continuity of the May 68 revolt[14], this social criticism combats the 
submission of individuals to a social machinery which favors profit at 
all costs and in which "the guarantee of not dying of hunger" "exchange 
for the risk of dying of boredom"[15]. In the heritage of the socialist 
thinkers of the labor movement, it seeks to open the paths to a future 
in which individuals and communities would not be subject to the iron 
law of the extraction of surplus value, to wage labor , to widespread 
exploitation and the social domination that results from it.

This domination only increases as the planetary boundaries approach. 
Furthermore, in the era of biotechnology, artificial intelligence, 
internet of things, geoengineering, RNA vaccines, artificialization of 
reproduction, ectogenesis, ever more advanced use of IT and drones in 
productive/logistical processes, a social critique that wishes to 
understand and combat this domination must necessarily take into account 
the technological question. The "machinery" of which Marx spoke is used 
to increase the speed of workers and to reduce their autonomy, as well 
as to commodify sectors (geographical and social) which until then 
escaped capitalist control. At the individual level, they make us adhere 
to a relationship with the instrumental, calculative and calculated 
world, made up of information and objects rather than subjects. Thus, 
thanks to digital technology, the capitalist relationship is reaching a 
milestone in invading all spheres of life. This is what makes the 
situationist critique of daily life interesting[16]or the 
anti-capitalist critique of morals developed by materialist feminists 
(on domestic work, inequalities within the family or representation 
women as objects for example). They allow us to put into words the 
feeling that the life we lead is slipping away from us, and to seek 
avenues for regaining social control.

Everything about anti-industrial criticism indicates that it is part of 
the lineage of materialist revolutionaries who fight against 
exploitation, alienation and social domination. The main break with the 
working-class tradition introduced by the anti-industrialists is the 
recognition that capitalist development has taken on such an extent that 
we cannot simply take over the tool of production as is. That a critical 
assessment, an inventory, is necessary. That part of our "acquis" will 
have to be called into question if we leave capitalism (no more 
smartphones every two years! No more smartphones at all!). Furthermore, 
his criticism of alienation could sometimes result in contempt (which we 
do not share, since we refuse to take people for imbeciles) of people 
experiencing alienation[17].

Pick up the thread of a fight against exploitation and domination which 
would not succumb to the fascination with technological progress (as the 
majority of the left and the extreme left have been and still are[18]) 
is a necessity. Because other "political offers" claim to respond to the 
challenges of the time, but far from claiming emancipation they claim to 
be authoritarian management of crises. Thus the rise of the 
national-populist parties, heirs of fascism. But these only 
ideologically assume the authoritarian leaning that the so-called 
democratic parties put in place. It is indeed the liberal and social 
democratic parties which support the development of AI or algorithmic 
predictions, which implement the health pass, intelligent video 
surveillance and the Internet of Things... but also more brutally 
anti-migratory laws[19]or the increase in police powers[20]. Marine Le 
Pen is right when she says that the Darmanin law is an "ideological 
victory" for her.

While the Chinese dictatorship under a market economy increasingly 
prefigures, for liberals and populists alike, the authoritarian 
"solution" to the challenges of our time[21], the anti-industrial 
current seems to us, with anarchism to be example, one of the currents 
of political reflection most in touch with our time, to try to 
understand it and oppose it.

How I argued

But then, how can we understand the heavy barrage that anti-industrial 
criticism has faced in recent months within leftist and libertarian 
circles? How can we understand the accusations according to which its 
main leaders in France are "reactionary", "homophobic", 
"covido-negationists", "complacent with the extreme right", etc? How can 
we understand that, while the government has just passed the most 
restrictive law concerning the entry and stay of foreigners in France 
for 50 years[22], while the National Assembly has 88 RN deputies, while 
the hearings of CNews are at their highest[23]... some leftists believe 
that the danger of fascistization of French society comes from the 
anti-industrial current, its supposed links with the extreme right and 
the "slippery" themes that it would share with the worst enemies of 
emancipation?

Indeed, these accusations could fall on their own if we looked at the 
concrete struggles in which these people participate, the self-managed 
places that they run on a daily basis, as well as the political heritage 
to which they claim.

So, reactions, the "anti-industrial"? Within a current open to a large 
number of people, adherence to a supposed "doctrinal purity" is not 
demanded: anyone is welcome. So, yes, in these networks, we could 
sometimes hear an idealization of past societies or speeches in defense 
of current society which "would be better" than all the dystopian 
developments in progress, speeches which completely ignore social 
inequalities and ultimately the impasse on the very reasons which 
originally motivated the movement. These positions seem to us to be a 
drift - real but in the minority - resulting from resignation in the 
face of the defeats of the revolutionary movement. Other people, 
inspired by Theodore Kaczynski, can affirm that their one and only 
objective is to dismantle the industrial system... thus ignoring the 
question of social inequalities, oppression or the form of the 
organization[24]. Should we specify that these positions seem totally 
contradictory to us with the values that interest us in anti-industrial 
criticism? For our part, we seek to walk between two pitfalls: on the 
one hand arrogant and overbearing contempt, on the other hand the focus 
on technology to the detriment of social aspects.

Fundamentally, it seems absurd to us to describe the heirs of a 
revolutionary current of thought as "reactionaries". As a reminder, the 
word "reactionary" designates counter-revolutionaries (inspired by the 
thoughts of Joseph de Maistre or Louis de Bonald) who aim to establish a 
hierarchical, vertical, immutable society, which naturalizes social 
inequalities. The goal of the anti-industrialists is the opposite: to 
build the conditions for a pooling of wealth and power where individuals 
can flourish, without falling into progressive wanderings which conceive 
of emancipation as a radical break with society or with nature. The 
anti-industrialists remind their comrades on the left, heirs of 
socialism, that the egalitarian demands that we have in common must be 
articulated with a critique of liberal technological power. In an age of 
impersonal domination (large companies, Gafam, etc.), an anti-capitalism 
that refuses to place the technological question at the center of its 
reflections would have a good chance of becoming an ally of capitalist 
modernization. This debate between "progressive" socialists and 
socialists critical of capitalist modernization which has been going 
well in recent years is far from being over[25].

But the accusations of recent months do not reflect real disagreements. 
It is rather that social networks have been there, with their 
"socialization bubbles" and other "Godwin points" which make us wonder 
what is "social" about these networks. Coupled with the proverbial habit 
of the far left and the ultra-left to split at the slightest ideological 
disagreement, this produces this kind of painful text[26]which combines, 
in the great conspiracy tradition, real facts, bad faith , biased 
information, truncated quotes, lies by omission, when it is not just a 
lie. An anonymous text constructed at the cost of contortions and hasty 
readings, which will undoubtedly never be the subject of "face-to-face" 
debates organized by its authors, but which will serve for a good 
fifteen years as support for a campaign of slander and disruption of 
militant events, all under the flag of "anti-fascism" (which did not 
deserve this).

That we must avoid any link with certain organic intellectuals of the 
extreme right (like Olivier Rey, but this also applies to all the 
others, including those not cited in the text and whom we will refrain 
from quoting here), we we approve. But we must be wary of ideas like 
viruses, that we must keep ourselves "pure", for example by refusing to 
cite certain sources which themselves would have had the misfortune of 
quoting a source which itself would one day have made an inappropriate 
statement, we refuse to do so. Critical thinking deserves better than that!

Let's face real conflicts rather than making false accusations. The fact 
is that the anti-industrial movement places at the center of its 
criticism the institutions that hold power: large companies, public 
conglomerates, managers, technological machinery, state services, 
political parties. That he gives little importance to "micro-powers", 
this concept which considers everyone as a simple avatar of "systems of 
domination", a bearer of "privileges". There seems to be a disagreement 
here on the notion of "power": is it a circulating flow, present in all 
social relations? Or rather capital held by institutions which imposes 
itself on a mass of powerless people? Sensitive, rightly, to the unequal 
relationships that are created in activist groups (and in all social 
groups), many libertarian and leftist activists of the 21st century 
focus on the first conception. Sometimes to the point of neglecting the 
second and undermining the capacity for action against those who hold 
the real powers... This reading of oppression which places the emphasis 
on "individual bearers" encourages personal attacks. Obviously, we are 
not saying here that we must tolerate any unjustified power situation. 
Rather, we must stop seeing power everywhere, at the risk of multiplying 
endless controversies where everyone seeks to play the role of the 
dominated.

So, who's afraid of anti-industrial criticism? No doubt those who do not 
want to attack the roots of capitalism and build unifying struggles, on 
popular themes and modes of organization. The same people who favor a 
withdrawal of struggles into fantasized communities which are in fact 
dead ends, to the detriment of progress towards social equality.

We will not raise dikes

Some say that the far right (we say "fascism") is the priority enemy. 
They do not say much about the liberal ideology which plagues our time, 
any more than about technological control devices, about the 
productivist infrastructure and more broadly about the establishment of 
a mass society which treats individuals as adjustment variables. 
Furthermore, this tendency to see "fascists" everywhere[27]feeds a 
climate of generalized distrust within radical movements, where we are 
always watching out of the corner of our eye our comrade, likely to 
become fascist in the blink of an eye. 'eye if we relax our benevolent 
attention.

In mirror image, others downplay the role of right-wing and far-right 
parties, which they think are only "residual", because the real fascism 
of our time would be the digital control tools put in place by social 
democrats and liberals draped in the ideology of Progress. The priority 
enemy would therefore not be the fascists in brown shirts, but rather 
the transhumanists in white coats[28].

At Ruptures , we refuse to choose. We believe that technological 
infrastructure is the matrix of authoritarianism. A mass society, an 
industrial society, is condemned sooner or later to politically assume 
its authoritarian infrastructures[29]. We fight authoritarianism 
wherever it comes from, from the liberal left, the social left or the 
nationalist and populist far-right. We fight in the name of ideals and 
values that are incompatible with both. We refuse to interact with the 
extreme right as an organization and with its political agents, 
intellectuals and activists. On the other hand, we discuss 
constructively with people, even if they use racist, sexist, homophobic, 
conspiratorial commonplaces, etc. Because we promote critical thinking, 
dialogue, and friendly "entrance doors" where we can discuss our 
positions and our disagreements in complete peace of mind. We will not 
build dikes: we will build struggles that move forward. And for this, we 
know that anti-industrial criticism is a valuable contribution.

Breakups

Our group is made up of people who participated in the demonstrations 
which took place in Grenoble against the health pass. Since September 
2021, we have been meeting regularly to discuss, share experiences and 
readings, and compare analyses. When possible, we try to build common 
positions, write texts and distribute them (via our newspaper La 
nouvelle vague and our website), or even organize events and actions.

We find ourselves on a few points: a distrust of the ever-tightening 
technological mesh on our lives, a criticism of the environmental and 
social ravages of capitalism, the challenge to the authoritarianism of 
power (of which the health pass has been a caricature).

We also find ourselves on a method, a desire: a dynamic of research, 
discussion and meeting. Thus, we try to discuss and debate our 
certainties, to construct nuanced and non-Manichean analyses, and we 
have a desire to meet with other individuals and other groups. Even more 
so in this very socially turbulent period where any political prognosis 
is difficult.

Today, the health pass is no longer relevant, but we are continuing our 
activities. Indeed, in our opinion, the Covid crisis was not an 
exceptional, extraordinary event, outside of History. This crisis has 
above all been a catalyst, an accelerator of already existing trends. 
Elements from this period will be found in upcoming social episodes. So, 
we might as well say it: even if we deplore it, there will be other 
pandemics, because these are not "natural" events, but consequences of 
our political and social organization.

Against all these crises (health, but also environmental, economic or 
military) and against the "remedies" provided by those in power to these 
crises (which do not call into question anything in substance), we need 
a break. We don't want to relive a similar episode! This is why we 
continue our activities and intend to address subjects that seem central 
to us: mass surveillance, authoritarian management of populations, 
hyper-technologization, one-way media propaganda, environmental 
degradation, etc.

Submission and adaptation are expected of us. We respond: collective 
reflections, sharing of analyzes and actions. We want to think, but not 
alone in our corner: to think together, to compare our analyzes in 
struggles, in demonstrations, to build bridges with other groups... and 
to produce action.
