Nazi attacks in Lyon

A group of some 10 nazis ambushed and beat with sticks two antifascists when they left a concert in support of social centers. One of the victims ended up with brain hemorrhage, though it is expected she will be able to leave hospital next week.

In the last months nazi attacks have grown in intensity in the city of the Rhône:
  • a young man was attacked for wearing a Che Guevara button, being incapacitated as result for 45 days
  • in September 25th some nazis at Rebeyne attempted to break up a demo against the new anti-immigantion law
  • in October nazis infiltrated the pension defense demonstrations, acting violently in an attempt to discredit the labor movement
  • in October 1st, under police protection, a nazi gang attempted to break a feminist demo
  • in October 22nd the nazis of Rebeyne and the Olympique Lyonnais hooligans staged an anti-immigration demo in the city, clashing with the general strike demos. The clashes resulted in two arrested antifascists, who are being judged these days, and not a single effective arrest among the hundreds of armed nazis who marched by the city that day

All this implies that these acolytes of Ratzinger (I say for the Hitler's Youth  and Inquisition hobbies, which they share) would not be at large if the "democrats" in power would not allow them to or even encourage them to. 

Let's not forget that neither Hitler nor Franco would have ever reached power would not have been for the tolerance and support of the so-called "democrats", who at the end of the day are not interested in anything really democratic but just in the persistence of the dictatorship of Capitalism under any form.

    In the Spanish case rather should use the expression "stay in power"

    We know that the Spanish case the people rejected the coup and initiated a revolutionary process that unfortunately could not come to good end or the fault of the French and the English Democrats, and also Republicans Spanish governors.

    The rest of the news ...

    very sad ...

    is very easy to live in peace, you just have to respect everyone, is very very very very easy, but some savages bent on complicating things.

    I can not understand, I am filled with rage, deserve to be called human beings who do not respect anything or anyone?

    Greetings friend

  2. Well, when I feel like that, I try to think on life as a realistic game... where the bad guys (the fascists, the bourgeois, the cops...) are there mostly for us to defeat them... or die trying.

    What other purpose they might have? I cannot think any except to fill up.

    Unless this is Hell, in which case it's exactly the same.

    Dunno, but I do not trust a good deal of Humankind, essentially all those 65% who failed the Milgram test (oops, experiment). If you are willing to punish/torture and even kill someone just because a figure of authority commands it... then very bad (Maoist reeducation camp for you).

    Luckily there's another 35% who are worth it.

    Interestingly, I did not comment but empathy can grow or decrease (and it's decreasing): http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=what-me-care

    Society makes empathy but empathy may make society as well.

  3. maju, I've been curious about the Milgram experiment, I had never heard of it, I searched online and I can not believe what I saw.

    most humans are sheep.

    incredible.

    sure many of those who participated in the experiment, which are 65%, when they saw the news shocked at the crimes and bad things that happen.

    it makes me wonder, would be normal people?

    it would give the same results if the experiment were repeated today?

    in view of the vandals that you explain in the post, I think the results Sewri worse.

    Greetings.

  4. "it would give the same results if the experiment were repeated today?"

    I'd dare say not. Not because people is better but because people is less obedient.

    The Milgram experiment was done in the 1960s, still in the Fordist paradigm of disciplinary Capitalism, which had created Hitler, Stalin, De Gaulle, etc.

    Since c. 1968 (Negri's estimate) we are in the Toyotist paradigm which implies maybe some nasty things like the total assimilation (subsumption) of Work into Capital (no ideologies anymore, so to say) but also means that leaders are much less important and that authority has been diminished and is being eroded overall.

    People might be tricked into doing it now on peer-pressure (horizontality of social and economic relations, proper of Toyotism) but surely not because they are merely commanded to do that. There are no more De Gaulles nor Hitlers... but not either any more Che Guevaras. We are now a different society than before the 70s and we have to accept that.
