Teachers and judges, even combat.
Strike and Day of Action of teacher unions and the judiciary today. I strike too. The France 2 news evokes benefit the black robes and red (an unprecedented mobilization since 1990, apparently) than the "gray smocks. It is true that judges are "shake" so much more dramatic (80% of courts are affected, against just 17% of strikers in Education, according to the Ministry). And then, the strikes of teachers, this is not new and everyone who cares a little (except "parents in galley" to keep their kids in the words of honeyed Elise Lucet).
Yet there is a real convergence of interest between these two movements. They face the same problems: questionable and painful reforms to digest, increasing performance requirements for average falling. And relevant personnel are subject to the same contempt from their ministries and the Head of State. There would not have much to scratch to find other professionals in the public sector (hospitals, Post, SNCF) affected by the same evils. So what to do, as Lenin said?
An umpteenth day of action, with loss of pay for anything? Or a more radical call for civil disobedience against a power that sacrifices the national interest to the financial markets? And the republican legality in that? France is not in Tunisia, or Egypt, is not it ... we are a democracy, right?
A democracy whose Constitution allows a party that meets less than a third of voters to obtain an absolute majority in the National Assembly. A democracy that promotes heavily on executive power, including that of president, which increases its grip on the media and key sectors with the support of a clique of businessmen. A democracy that allows its police to gassing peaceful protesters. A democracy that trembles scared when other people, not so far away, rebel. A democracy that does not dream as a model: China's Hu Jintao ... so stable, so effectively until proven otherwise.
Just wait until 2012, and many vote, of course! Voting for the PS, the machine to lose? Because only vote (and vote Green, as innocuous as a potato bio) has reasonable for the media. You want to resume the "plural left" sauce European-compatible? Nobody really wants, so the midget and his band have a bright future ahead of them. Unless ... if what? Nothing, nothing ... a misfortune happens so quickly.
It will take me to the book provides Julien Coupat: Insurrection comes. With Manual Zombie Survival, by Max Brooks (Mel's son), I think I'm ready for the twenty-first century.
