(en) Italy, Siciliana FA: LIFE CHOICES AS A METHOD OF FIGHT (Thematic meeting in Ragusa - October 5, 2024) (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Thu, 3 Oct 2024 09:21:26 +0300


The society we live in has one of its strengths in consumption. Consumerism is an alienating power and at the same time an economic mechanism for the reproduction of capital. ---- We oppose capitalist consumerism with the values of taking care of ourselves and others, of international collaboration between communities, territories, cultures and histories. We oppose the alienation of capitalism with the awareness of our true needs as human beings who challenge the propaganda of the futile, of appearance and individualism. We can all stimulate social change by leveraging the power we have in making anti-consumerist choices, activating boycott campaigns, promoting and practicing such life choices as a form of fight.
It is not easy to implement radical life choices, one often risks isolating oneself from the social context and territories; on the contrary, non-radical life choices run the risk of being digested and adopted by those who ask for a clean capitalism, made of organic, green, zero km and so much exploitation of man by man, woman and the environment.
Finding an intermediate point of placement becomes a difficult but necessary task; and in this case it is important to favor a class choice, removing alternative life choices from the bourgeois sirens and their false nonconformism functional to the strengthening of the system. It is not an easy bet, but it must be attempted.
Self-managed realities, life and work practices freed as much as possible from capitalist slavery can connect in alternative networks built from below to promote change, starting from the individual lives of those who are personally involved and in close contact with those who resist (sometimes with difficulty sometimes successfully) this society of privilege and war.

We will discuss and compare this and more in Ragusa on Saturday 5 October 2024, at the meeting promoted by the Sicilian Anarchist Federation, at the Società dei Libertari, in via Garibaldi 2 A, starting at 4 pm.
