Winter City Blues
On the night of December 13 to 14, three vans in Toulouse Métropole were set on fire in the Côte Pavée district.
We live with the cutting edge of war technology. The current choices are clear: to impose an arms industry and the expansion of NATO bases, and also to force a war economy where social precariousness will be the price to pay for the interests of the state.
The expansion of war to all aspects of life is indeed built here. Toulouse is at the top of the podium of war economy poles. An economy that we have made fit into our heads with propaganda and marketing. Western democracy must be saved from the barbarians elsewhere. War as an act of kindness to maintain our beautiful capitalist heritage.
Being twinned with Tel Aviv and hosting a NATO base from the summer of 2025 show the obvious interests of the Toulouse metropolis. To crush in blood any revolt against the capitalist project.
The debts that would justify the budget cuts are part of a very specific governance program. To go into debt in order to be able to restructure and impose increasingly severe social austerity. The budget cuts will have a strange impact on the social field and do not seem to call into question projects such as the third metro line, the Bordeaux-Toulouse high-speed line or an ever more violent security expansion.
The war has embedded everything, our capacities for opposition are still to be imagined.
Solidarity greetings to anyone who wants to listen.
