31 ao\u00fbt 2009<\/a>, les appelle aux armes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abGlobalization and unfettered capitalism have been swept into the history books along with the open-market theory of the 1920s, the experiments of fascism, communism and the New Deal. It is time for a new economic and political paradigm. It is time for a new language to address our reality. The voices of change, those who speak in powerful and yet unfamiliar words, will cry out Sept. 25 and 26 in Pittsburgh when protesters from around the country gather to defy the heads of state, bankers and finance ministers from the world’s 22 largest economies who are convening for a meeting of the G-20. If we heed these dissident voices we have a future. If we do not we will commit collective suicide.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe international power elites will go to Pittsburgh to preach the mantra that globalization is inevitable and eternal. They will discuss a corpse as if it was living. They will urge us to remain in suspended animation and place our trust in the inept bankers and politicians who orchestrated the crisis. This is the usual tactic of bankrupt elites clinging to power. They denigrate and push to the margins the realistsnone of whom will be inside their security perimeterswho give words to our disintegration and demand a new, unfamiliar course. The powerful discredit dissent and protest. But human history, as Erich Fromm wrote, always begins anew with disobedience. This disobedience is the first step toward freedom. It makes possible the recovery of reason.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tLe programme est copieux. Une organisation se met en place et la contestation s’\u00e9tendra sur plus d’une semaine, commen\u00e7ant \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s une semaine avant l’ouverture du sommet. Il y aura des orientations tr\u00e8s diverses dans cette contestation, allant de la manifestation pure et simple \u00e0 des conf\u00e9rences.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abProtests will begin several days before the summit. Many of the activities are being coordinated by Pittsburgh’s Thomas Merton Center. There will be a march Sept. 25 for anyone who, as Jessica Benner of the center’s Antiwar Committee stated, has lost a job, a home, a loved one to war, lost value to a retirement plan, gotten sick from environmental pollution, or lived without adequate healthcare, water, or food. There will be at least three tent cities, in addition to a Music Camp beginning Sept. 18 that will be situated at the South Side Riverfront Park near 18th Street. Unemployed workers will set up one tent city at the Monumental Baptist Church on Sept. 20 and five days later will march on the Convention Center. The encampment and the march are being organized by the Bail Out the People Movement. The Institute for Policy Studies, The Nation magazine, the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, Pittsburgh United and other organizations will host events including a panel on corporate globalization featuring former World Bank President Joseph Stiglitz, along with a People’s Tribunal. There will be a religious procession calling for social justice and a concert organized by Students for a Democratic Society.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tDe l’autre c\u00f4t\u00e9, il y aura 4.000 policiers et une conf\u00e9rence transform\u00e9e en une forteresse aussi blind\u00e9e qu’un coffre-fort de la Federal Reserve. On est habitu\u00e9 \u00e0 la chose. Les d\u00e9bats sur des conclusions convenues d’avance pourront donc avoir lieu, on l’esp\u00e8re, dans une s\u00e9r\u00e9nit\u00e9 extr\u00eamement s\u00e9curis\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tLa question centrale est de savoir quel succ\u00e8s de foule aura cet appel \u00e0 la contestation. La faiblesse de nos directions politiques est telle aujourd’hui que ce seul \u00e9l\u00e9ment (un rassemblement de foule important) constituerait une pression tr\u00e8s importante, non pas pour le G20 lui-m\u00eame d’ailleurs, mais d’une fa\u00e7on g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, particuli\u00e8rement pour l’unit\u00e9 des directions politiques face \u00e0 la crise. L’int\u00e9r\u00eat de cette contestation n’est pas, en effet, de mesurer la possibilit\u00e9 d’un renversement du syst\u00e8me, mais bien d’accentuer la fragilit\u00e9 du syst\u00e8me \u00e0 l’int\u00e9rieur, de faire surgir les divisions, tr\u00e8s fortes et mal dissimul\u00e9es, qui existent en son sein.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tIl y a dix ans, les manifestations assez violentes \u00e0 Seattle, autour d’une r\u00e9union de l’Organisation Mondiale du Commerce, avaient ouvert la contestation ext\u00e9rieure de la globalisation. A cette \u00e9poque, le syst\u00e8me fonctionnait dans toute sa puissance (Edward Lutwak parlait du turbo-capitalisme) et bien peu, en son sein et m\u00eame sur ses marges, songeaient \u00e0 le contester. La contestation paraissait, elle aussi, marginale et sans r\u00e9elle signification. En dix ans, la situation a radicalement \u00e9volu\u00e9, la globalisation passant de mod\u00e8le d’ores et d\u00e9j\u00e0 install\u00e9 et donc incontestable, \u00e0 une structure en crise et en lambeaux. Aujourd’hui, le syst\u00e8me est aux abois, compl\u00e8tement assi\u00e9g\u00e9, non pas tant par la contestation que par la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 de ses limites catastrophiques et des cons\u00e9quences de ses effets pervers. Dans ce cas, la pression de la foule peut faire sentir des effets.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
