Direct action - an introduction | ||
libcom.org's brief introduction to direct action and why we prefer it to other forms of political activity. | Введение в прямое действие и почему мы предпочитаем его какому-нибудь другому виду политической деятельности. | |
Many people today are worried about the direction that the world is heading in. Whether it's about their working conditions or unemployment, the environment, housing, war or any number of other problems, it's certain that millions (even billions?) of people at some point look for some form of political action to solve their problem. | Множество людей сегодня обеспокоены тем, куда катится наш мир. Будь это условия труда или безработица, окружающая среда, жилищные условия, войны либо громадное множество других проблем, это означает что миллионы(миллиарды?) людей собираются изпользовать ту или иную форму политической активности для решения этих проблем. | |
Why direct action? | ||
There are loads of different methods which people use to try and change the world, too many to mention here. Often, however, we think that we can look for help from various 'specialists' like politicians, union leaders, legal experts and the like. | Существуют масса различных методов, используемых людьми для попытки изменить мир, их слишком много чтоб разбирать их здесь. Тем не менее зачастую мы думаем что можем обратится за помощью к различным "специалистам". Таким как всякие политики, профсоюзные боссы, адвокаты и им подобные. | |
In reality, this isn't the case. Politicians and union leaders have interests different from our own, like basically anyone earning six-figure salaries or even those bumbling around £80-90,000 a year. And trying to find protection behind the law can leave us equally at sea, as the laws that protect us today can simply be changed tomorrow - assuming they're even enforced in the first place! | В реальности это не выход. Политики и профсоюзные боссы имеют различные с нами интересы, например получать зарплату с шесть нулями. И пытатся найти защиту | |
At the same time, we sometimes decide that at least we can decide to not 'take part' in the worst parts of capitalism. We can choose not to buy from certain 'unethical' companies or even grow our own food. | ||
However, the problem with this is that it makes resistance to capitalism an individual lifestyle choice, and one that not all people can make. For instance, 'fair trade' and organic products are often more expensive than food which is neither. | ||
More seriously though, it makes social problems about individual companies or governments which behave 'badly' rather than a problem with society as a whole. And it still leaves us to face them alone, through our consumer choices. Business as usual continues, just for different businesses. Exploitation continues and there's no amount of fair trade cashew nuts that's gonna change that! | ||
This is why we favour direct action: because it relies on our collective strength to stop 'business as usual' rather than our individual lifestyle choices or appeals to political and union leaders. And because at the end of the day, it means relying each other – the others who share our situation – rather than on so-called 'experts' who ultimately won't have to live with our problems. |
