On the occasion of the Summit of Laeken (Brussels), the European Anarchist Organisations call for a demonstration on Saturday 15th December at 1.30
p.m. FOR ANOTHER VISION ON EUROPE AND THE WORLD For the power to manage our lives ourselves. We are all capable to take personal decisions on what concerns us
personally, to decide collectively on what concerns us as a collective and to
exchange our arguments in free and open assemblies. The only real democracy is
direct democracy; the only organisation on a larger scale that respects all
individuals is a federation of local autonomous assemblies. For a collective property and managment of the riches of the world Natural resources are the common good of humanity today and in the
future, and no invidual or group has the right to claim them. The managment of
these resources must guarantee their transmission to future generations, this
implicates giving up an economy that is based on productivism and profit. For a society without domination or exploitation. We don't recognize any form of domination, whether it is political,
economical, military, religious, technocratical, racist or sexist, nor do we
recognize any form of exploitation. There is no such thing as a
"capitalism with a human face" because capitalism is founded on the
exploitation of one human being by another. This is why we fight for a solidary
economy, based on the principal of: "everybody contributes according to
their means, everybody receives according to their needs". For the globalisation of solidarity We are not anti-globalists; we demand the end of the pillaging of the
third world and an organisation of trade on basis of equality, to guarantee to
all the use of all goods. We refuse Fortress Europe, of which the fronteers are
only opened to the whims of bosses in search of certain professional categories
and taking advantage of clandestine immigrants working in black. For an education aimed at the autonomy and freedom of the individual Children must not learn to obey and adults need to unlearn it. We need
the space to experience forms of collective deliberation and individual
responsability. We shall understand that individual freedom is only made
stronger by the freedom of the other, that squashing opponents has no extra
value compared to mutual aid and that melting oneself into a crude conformism
violates our individuality. For a globalisation of disarmement It has been clear before and it is clear now: war serves the interests
of the political and economical elites. We pay for it, we serve in the armies,
we are brainwashed to approve, we kill and we get killed. For once and for all:
NO MORE WAR! If you agree with this view on society, join us on December 15th under
the black flags! The European Anarchist Organisations Contact: Centre Libertaire, Zuidstraat 65, 1000 BXL,
