The class war: his encounter with this author François Ruffin Tuesday, January 13, 2009 in Montpellier
"The men fight and lose battle, and something for which they fought happens despite their defeat. When it happens, it happens to be different from what they had targeted, and then other men must fight for what they described, under another name. "
William Morris.
"What life has revealed to me,
it is not the socialist idea,
is the necessity of combat."
Jean Jaures.
excerpt of the prologue:
To distract myself, I typed "Peillon + class struggle" in Google. The search engine
would have liked to the Surrealists, he who makes such outlandish comparisons and provides links
like bundles surprises. Again, "28,400 pages in French"
were displayed in "0.23 seconds". But no citations identified, any time he would
pronounced - and would have voted on - the "class struggle".
I tried to his left: "Buffet + class struggle." Nothing
either.
Surprised, I looked through the discourse of the Communist candidate, a dozen,
uttered during the 2007 presidential campaign. After checking: no. Marie-George Buffet
has not once used the phrase "class struggle". Not even the term "class".
Doubtless she received advice from communicating, whispered to him that he had "frank talk
", "direct", "sincere", the "language of the heart," and then this stuff, "fight
of classes "and company, it sounded" old fashioned "," nerdy, "" has-beens, "" not at all
trend. " The PC candidate erasing its lexicon as we erase wrinkles, false cure
of youth with a glossary refreshed. Instead, Marie-Georges Buffet strung distress
like pearls: "I can tell you about the workers who come to the WCPT
us from threats to their business, while I can attest to the quality of their
work of Diebold, which occupy their factory , employees of the printing JDC
multinational donor whose order does not comply with its trade commitments. I can say here
behalf of nurses in the Hospital of St. Louis they need time to recover, as is
heavy task. I can testify to this woman here in the 11th arrondissement of Paris
which seven people live in a few square meters. She is, she said, for
his children to attend. I have at heart the pensioner on the market in my city, I
said her pain of having to go to the restaurant's heart ", etc.. and the list still continues.
I phoned him to ask him why. Place du Colonel Fabien, his press
gave me his pen, Pierre-François Köchlin:
"You never used the expression 'class struggle', nor even the word 'class'?
Ah ... Yes ... You can teach me, but it is a news ... We had to estimate,
unconsciously, that the word itself was ... Because for me, class conflicts,
is obvious, so when we say 'the right', that's enough ...
-How old are you? I'm going to
-thirties.
Good, I just exceed thirty, but you see, in our generation, I do not think
belonging to a 'class' is the obvious. And even less
la'lutte classes' ...
-I had not thought about that. But you're right.
-Is, good, I do not want to give lessons, but is that by abandoning words,
you do not participate in the abandonment of a class consciousness that would demand a first
awareness?
"It is de facto the question I asked myself. And maybe the anonymous nature of
financial markets, pension funds, well, it is no longer the boss with a cigar ...
"I would go further: by abandoning these words is a logical you give up.
and forgive me, but just that: it seems to me that in your speech, there is more logic.
I mean, you align everything that goes wrong in the world, but behind it receives no
analysis ... Yes, that's a sign of all that has been neglected at a time, and is rebuilding. "
Y has to work so much, in my opinion, its inventory of land is devoid calamities
intellectual frame. Drippings of a sadness that leads to fatalism
more than combat. But what
fight, anyway?
Because I found another absence: not a "class enemy" and no "enemy" at all.
No more "adversary".
So goes the left: it emasculate themselves. She is afraid of his shadow. She denies her own vocabulary, however, forged in pain. It is forbidden to put a word on one thing. How dare she, then, tomorrow, things change if she dares not currently just say the words? 3 "The class struggle exists, and that is mine is in the process of winning. "In seeking
" Buffet + class struggle "in Google, so I came across this sentence
" Buffett. " Marie-Georges

We never dared, we pronounce these words, "class war" for fear of appearing "archaic," "simplistic, Manichaean. And with us is a left self-censoring, which sank into the hodgepodge of "complexity". Every one left with leaders who disguise their cowardice in "courage" in their renunciation "audacity", and that cause kindly "renovation" and "modernization" to mask their treason.
