A busy start to the year for manufacturers of tricolor sashes: the
Agricultural Show, for starters, where the most beautiful ram, the most
beautiful stallion, the most beautiful piglet, etc., will be chosen...
and presto, a little ribbon. Then come the municipal elections and
another distribution of tricolor sashes. Sashes to be worn respecting
the essentials: over the right shoulder for everyone, and the blue at
the top (while members of parliament must wear the red). ----
"Municipal," if you dig a little deeper, you'll find the origin of the
word in 1527, "relating to the administration of a commune." Do you see
any connection with the subordination of the commune and its inhabitants
to a state? No, so will the latter quickly assert its control through a
few symbols: the tricolor flag, the motto full of unfulfilled promises
on the town hall façade, and the bust of Marianne, symbol of the Republic?
In concrete terms, everything to show citizens the length of the leash
granted by the State to their municipality. "We'll let you choose the
width of the sidewalks and the colors of the town hall shutters. For the
rest, see the prefect."
What if we took a step back and considered other ways of managing our
municipality-a municipality shared by all those who live there and who
should therefore be able to take charge of their shared life? Without
forgetting the other municipalities. Federally, libertarianly.
Doesn't that make you want to try?
