The dominant
ideology, that is of the Power, want us to believe by force that electoral
democracy would be the highest expression of popular sovereignty, that
elections would give the Power its legitimacy.
However, the Iranians have just made this lie burst. The Iranian elections, such as all the elections, are only a joke. Elections are acceptable for the Power only when they go in its interests. People can give their voice as long as they say what the Power desire them to say. When it is no longer the case, the Power uses all the means at its disposal, any frauds and subterfuges, to keep its dominant position. Elections are only an alibi for the Power. In Iran, it is a result declared to the opposite of reality. In Europe since 2005, the Power has reiterated ballots until the results to the referendum were in conformity with the Power’s expectations (and even some time it passes directly its projects without new electoral play...).
One of the defining tenets setting libertarian
socialism apart from authoritarian political traditions of both left and right,
is an unshirking commitment to the principles of direct democracy. This is the
means advocated by anarchists for exercising and enabling genuinely
participative decision making in all domains of human life. Rejecting
hierarchical organisation, we argue that both parliamentary “democracy” and
totalitarianism have the same intensions – to maintain the distinction between
leaders and led, rulers and ruled. Both, in the final analysis, are designed to
ensure our passive acceptance of a system that oppresses us.
Un
parasite est un être qui vit aux dépends des autres, au dépend d'un hôte. Il
peut se renforcer (et affaiblir son hôte) en pompant le travail, la voix et la
vie de son hôte, grâce à un éperon et une poche de stockage. Tout
naturellement, afin de retrouver sa liberté, l'hôte tente de se débarrasser du
parasite, mais ce dernier est constitué d'organes faisant le nécessaire pour
soumettre, de gré ou de force, l'hôte sous son autorité. Il peut notamment
utiliser son éperon pour lui injecter un poison toxico-dépendant, imposant et
suggérant à l'hôte une relation de dépendance envers le parasite. L'acceptation
de cette dépendance de l'hôte s'exprime sous diverses formes, dont le sacrifice
au travail, les cérémonies spectaculaires, les priéres en isoloirs... le
parasite a pris divers prétextes pour s'imposer... Aujourd'hui, pour la
facilité, il a pris le prétexte démocratique.
Et ça continue, après quatre années
de fausses promesses, de sourires forcés et de caresses des enfants, le triste
spectacle de la démocratie, une démocratie dans laquelle quelques-uns ont le
droit de faire et de défaire et de disposer de ce que les autres peuvent ou ne
peuvent pas faire.
We are
calling for a national campaign to take advantage of this election year to
emphasize the power of direct action and to present direct democracy as a
viable alternative to representation. This campaign will include literature
distribution, postering and stickering, demonstrations, educational events, and
other forms of community outreach, both in our own communities and around the
Democratic and Republican National Conventions. It will culminate in a
nationwide day of direct action on November 2, election day.
