(en) France, UCL AL #352 - Editorial, Elections, a fool's trap? (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

It is not in the political tradition of the UCL to practice doctrinaire anti-electoralism, but it is still appropriate to question the electoral commitment and the hopes that some people saw in it. Beyond preventing the extreme right from coming to power, what will we remember from the sequence that has just ended with the announcement of a government, undoubtedly the most right-wing that we have seen in decades? ---- The "republican barrier" is not an acquired reflex as soon as one moves away from the political left. As we know, the right only accepted the Republic from the moment they had the assurance that their class interests would not be fundamentally called into question.

The "electoral game", made up of majority and opposition, of alternation, is only valid within the framework of maintaining a policy which does not call into question the right to property, free enterprise, etc. And we have been able to see in recent years that the "tolerance" which capitalists granted to policies of social justice was increasingly restricted.

The People are sovereign... until they speak out against liberal dogmas that are the catechism of capitalists and their lackeys. Otherwise, there is repression, and it is becoming increasingly violent.

Our revolutionary, extra-parliamentary strategy of building counter-powers is not a clique, nor a desire for radicalism for radicalism's sake; it is the consequence of a materialist analysis. Without any illusions about the great evening that would come from a handful of politicians , it has always been through a strong social movement that our victories have come about.
