(en) France, UCL, AL #348 - Editorial: No War but Class War (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Wed, 1 May 2024 09:57:45 +0300


The use of the term "rearmament" seven times during his New Year's Eve greetings by Emmanuel Macron was not just an effect of style. It was indeed the mark of a desire to be part of a warlike narrative. ---- Faced with growing opposition to his anti-social policy, Macron, without a majority to govern, is seeking to adopt a regal posture. If we can challenge the President, we cannot challenge the head of the Armed Forces. It is also a way of retaining an electorate that is conservative and nostalgic for past greatness. "Economic rearmament", "rearmament of the State", "civic rearmament", "industrial rearmament" or "rearmament of the Nation", or even "demographic rearmament", all of this has a rancid aftertaste of vichysm. Just as much as Gabriel Attal's "road map" which smacks of the extreme right as mentioned in "the implementation of the announced rearmament and regeneration project".

Macron has since taken another step forward by suggesting that French troops could be engaged on the Ukrainian front. The President dreams of being a war leader. Besides its mobilizing effects, war is good business, and France is not doing too badly. Over the period 2019-2023 it will become the second largest arms exporter in the world, ahead of Russia. An industry strongly supported by the State which employs no less than 900 civil servants!

While the social breakdown continues and accelerates in the name of controlling deficits, we must refuse and denounce this warlike logic and wage the only war that is worth it: the social war against the bourgeoisie and its lackeys. UCL, March 23, 2024
