The various states talk of humanity, but act like the fascists they are. A whole industry has grown up shipping people across borders and depositing them in countries that they have fled. In the modern state, Law enforcement is a euphemism for, repression, dawn raids, eveictions, detentions and deportations, all done with the stamp of the faceless state legitimacy. Deaths in there thousands doesn't move the state apparatus towards humanity, the Mediterranean could fill up with bodies and they would still be pontificating on how to shove them back to where they came from.
Not a new leaflet, but still very relevant.
Taken from Act For Freedom Now:
The following is a leaflet distributed in almost 200 copies at the
rally entitled “Refugees Welcome” Saturday, September 12, during
which far-left parties and orgas brought their ideologies for sale …
In this world, those fleeing conditions of poverty, war, religious
persecution of all kinds engendered by capitalism, nationalism,
religion and States are many.
If the system is currently putting the so-called “reception”
reserved for Syrian and Kurdish “refugees” fleeing the assassins
of Daesh at the front of the media scene it is to better hide from
the public the fate that awaits all those without papers here: raids,
deportation, detention in CRA before deportation to their countries
of origin.
Yet the operation of the left concerning the “welcome” of
migrants is a huge hoax. Its policy swings between the carrot and the
stick: between those who might benefit – at random and according to
the quotas in force – from “political asylum” and “refugee”
status because they are from a country at war and the others, not
having papers, will be delivered to living underground, to the police
or to charitable organizations (Red Cross, Emmaus …) that manage
their misery, their detention and their forced deportation.
Already for months in Paris migrants and their supporters have
been plagued by police repression, which the left parties are
involved in by disseminating pacification and their promises of
politicos, evicting every occupation of empty buildings; in
Seine-Saint-Denis PCF municipalities expel camps of Roma and of those
without papers; in Calais metal barriers recycled from the last NATO
summit are used to repel migrants desiring to get to the UK by any
means possible, risking their lives (11 have died since June);
between Ventimiglia and Menton the police raid and deport
undocumented people with the material and logistical cooperation of
the (Italian) Red Cross; in Besancon for years the town hall has been
sending its municipal cops to evict the Roma trying to survive in the
Viotte station park, driving travellers from the ‘Malcombe’ land,
etc …
It takes the photograph of a migrant
child found dead on a beach circulated by the media and on social
networks for citizens to be moved. Yet more than a thousand migrants
have perished in the Mediterranean this summer alone. This has
nothing of a humanitarian problem. The death of migrants at the
borders of Europe and its States is part of a daily life that cannot
be tolerated. Here, the companies and institutions that exploit them
(in catering, cleaning, etc ..) are many, that give them to the cops
(BNP Paribas, the Post, Pôle Emploi (Job centre) …), that
collaborate with having them locked up in detention centres (SODEXO,
COFELY GDF SUEZ, DE RICHEBOURG, …), that deport them (Air France,
SNCF …), etc …
The heart of the problem lies in the existence of this world of
money, of States and their borders, their cops and their prisons. So
let’s stop weeping. Let’s rebel!
