A-Infos (en) France, FA: THE HEATWAVE IS POLITICAL, OUR RESPONSE MUST BE TOO! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

The increasing frequency of heatwaves is not simply a climate problem. 
It is a complete political reality.
Capitalism is plunging us into the inferno by sacrificing our lives on 
the altar of profit.
The heatwave: a stark reminder of inequality.
Those who try to reduce this disaster to a natural phenomenon or 
individual behavior are complicit in unspeakable violence. This 
political stance aims to absolve the true culprits: capitalism, large 
corporations, and the states that protect them.
The heatwave strikes with targeted violence the most vulnerable and 
isolated, exposed workers, the homeless and those living in inadequate 
housing, working-class neighborhoods, and so on.

It is not the rich who suffer, but everyone else, considered a commodity 
by the vast capitalist market. Downplaying climate change is protecting 
the profiteers.

Capitalism is condemning us to the flames.

Heatwaves are killing people. And meanwhile, political leaders and those 
in power refuse to take the necessary steps to stop this headlong rush. 
Perhaps because they themselves are contributing to the problem...

Believing that we will escape the flames by simply entering the voting 
booth is sheer blindness.

The origin of this conflagration is known: it is the direct consequence 
of productivism, extractivism, and capitalism in all its forms. It is 
the result of human activities carried out with the complicity of the 
powerful who protect their interests.

Their credo: produce, produce, and make people consume until life is 
exhausted. This credo throws into the flames the fauna of which we are a 
part and the flora on which we depend!

Capitalism plunders everything: water, land, forests, and even the air 
itself. Our response must be commensurate with the attack: capitalist 
expropriation and a radical change in the way we produce!

Down with capital!

Down with those who give the orders!

Down with all power, wherever it comes from!

Let's expect nothing from the market, the state, or bosses. Only a 
collective awakening, coupled with the establishment of a real balance 
of power against this deadly system, can save what can still be saved. 
Mutual aid, solidarity, and the systematic refusal to submit to liberal 
logic have now become existential imperatives. The future will be 
determined by our ability to organize ourselves to defend ourselves 
against the predation of a handful of exploiters.

Everything will come from us.

For self-management, for social justice, for complete emancipation!
