(en) France, UCL AL #370 - Culture - Read: VISA, "New Fascisms: Union Responses" (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

The association Vigilance and Antifascist Union Initiatives (VISA) has
published a compelling book that examines the realities and dangers of
"new fascisms" in France, Europe, and around the world. ---- The book is
divided into several sections, richly illustrated with historical and
recent documents: a historical and theoretical overview of fascists'
anti-union views, a study of far-right proposals in France in recent
years, an assessment of the balance of power in the European Parliament,
and finally, a global overview, country by country, of attacks and
resistance against modern forms of fascism that skillfully alternate
between flexibility and authoritarianism to seize and maintain power.
This book is particularly useful for those mobilizing against the far
right, as it is difficult to obtain precise information on the concrete
offensives of fascists and their unfortunately numerous successes. While
historical reminders are certainly necessary for fighting in France,
they are insufficient. It is crucial to be able to expose the realities
of the programs and practices of the far right here and now.
The traditional left is largely fragmented and discredited. In some
cases, it even forges disastrous governmental or parliamentary alliances
with far-right parties! Far-left organizations, which played a
coordinating role in Europe against fascists in the 1970s, are now
severely weakened. With what remains of their international connections,
they should focus more on exchanging information and organizing concrete
international mobilizations: declarations, demonstrations, and (unified,
of course) rallies across Europe, with a real role to play, particularly
among young people.
There remain the unions; with their strengths and weaknesses, they are
in fact the last bulwark against the brown tide threatening the planet.
And they are best positioned to deliver a clear message to the workers
of their countries. Last, but also the best bulwark if they join forces.
And here we are, dreaming of a European VISA to make things happen!
