A-Infos (en) France, OCL: Brochure - Technocritique versus Technofascism: For a Revolutionary and Inclusive Ecology by VNPS in Saint-Nazaire (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

We offer here a text from the collective You Are Not Alone that we feel 
is worth sharing and discussing. ---- This substantial brochure (36 A4 
pages) continues and updates, in a way, the one from the Ruptures 
collective "Who's Afraid of Anti-Industrial Critique?", which we 
republished here in January 2024. Its value is that it presents and 
discusses the notion of technocritique, as well as the objectives and 
strategies of the movements inspired by this thought to put an end to 
capitalist barbarism.

Of course, we don't agree with everything in this text. It will always 
be possible to quibble over semantic issues, or to express outright 
disagreement. We have reservations, for example, about the term 
"techno-fascism," preferring "techno-totalitarianism," which avoids the 
pitfalls of demonization and recourse to the "supreme evil." We doubt 
the relevance of the term "our camp," preferring "revolutionary camp," 
and we have serious reservations about positioning ourselves within 
"inclusive" tendencies, as they are generally fraught with exclusion or 
exclusivity. But rather than basing our decisions on preconceived 
notions about a title or a few questionable expressions, we thought it 
would be worthwhile to make the effort to understand a political 
approach addressed to us.

We will undoubtedly have the opportunity to return to all of this on 
this site or in the columns of Courant Alternatif, but we first feel it 
is necessary to publicize this text, which is a fine effort at 
clarification within the radical ecology movement and an essential 
affirmation of the rejection of the phenomena of ostracism and 
sectarianism that affect critical thinking today. And they are obstacles 
to the development of a revolutionary movement that meets the challenges 
of the current period.

It's also an opportunity to discover a group we weren't familiar with 
until now, and it's always pleasant to meet new comrades.

Presentation
While technofascism, this objective alliance between authoritarian 
regimes and high technologies, is emerging as our official political 
future, we wish to articulate ideas that we believe are too rare to 
modestly participate in the resistance. Despite decisive theoretical 
work, resistance will not be achieved solely on the terrain of ideas. We 
will have to fight. We still need to agree on a target, a strategy, and 
find allies.

We do not claim to unite the different branches of radical ecology, the 
only political group truly concerned with keeping the Earth habitable. 
Its internal fractures are deep, sometimes for reasons beyond our 
understanding.

However, we are seeing a worrying increase in attacks violent attacks 
emanating from our camp against some of the figures, collectives, or 
movements to which we feel close. Starting with often simplistic and 
slanderous shaming by association, an entire section of radical ecology 
finds itself banished. Texts call for "building dikes," while 
influential collectives prefer to reach out to liberal ecology.

The entire political ecology finds itself disarmed. The (already slim) 
chances of putting an end to extinction are approaching zero. The 
ambition of this text: to reject the duality that condemns us, to try to 
prove that a revolutionary and inclusive technocritique can exist, in 
order to make the fight against technofascism and for a habitable Earth 
more effective-or already more understandable.
