Our globalisation against the global war

 

 

Our globalisation against theirs : that’s the conclusion at which arrive a growing number of anticapitalists. The capital hardly gives us the choice.  Bipolar capitalism, founded on the opposition of two blocks of capital, but also two modes of management of the capital, left the place to an unipolar capitalism, dominated by the USA and their troop of allies. 

 

The Islamism, which is presented in the form of an alternative, presents a double aspect.  By certain sides, it is hardly distinguished from the nationalist anti-imperialism, such as one knew it since the years 1960. It’s based on the national capitalist class and petty-bourgeoisie, on the middle-classes (capitalism cadres), and was addressed to the popular ‘classes’ only one time its networks and its ideology was formed, i.e. it seeks only an auxiliary force there (it is a point on which many analysts seems to agree). 

 

But, instead of being based on a national community, it is based on Umma, the community of the Muslims, who includes countries with Muslim majority, but also of many countries where they are only strong minorities. It’s based on militant and financial networks international, and its most known figurehead today is a transnational capitalist. There is thus an opposition between two transnational blocks, a confrontation on the scale of globalized capitalism. 

 

Strange war, since it shows itself as the fight of nearly all states in the world against a private and transnational organization, apparently established in about fifteen countries and on all the continents, including in South America. The United States announced their intention to strike in Afghanistan, certainly, but also in other countries, without revealing the exact list. In any event, we will know rather early. 

 

If nationalism can still seem a solution with the social ‘classes’ touched by the globalisation (disengagement of the welfare state, opening of direct competition on world level), a new form of reaction appears directly on a global scale. It’s an new data enough to try analyse it. 

 

The new worldwide Left is not based anymore on the state-nation, but directly on the idea of ‘good governance’, i.e. of democratization of the world institutions. In other words, at the time even where the neoliberalism justifies the dismantling of the welfare state, the new left proposes the ideological framework of the world state (not within the meaning of unified state, at least for the moment, but within the meaning of a global right supported by a world force and global financial institutions). 

 

This will complicates our (anti-)political intervention, obviously, since we must fight on a quadruple front : 

 

*  Against nationalism, which continues to exist and to which the globalisation provides its social base. 

 

*  Against reactionary tendencies acting at the total level, such as Islamism. 

 

*  Against neoliberal globalisation, as a major expression of the capital movement. 

 

*  Against neoreformist globalisation, which represents the state control carried at the global level 

 

That’s the way of the slogan "for globalisation, against capitalism" which is used as point of rallying by an increasing number of groups and to individuals in the world.  Our globalisation goes beyond and destroy capitalism and state, by a global change of the social relationships. The struggle against war, which prepares under new and difficult conditions, will make possible to many people to become aware of this need, owing the fact that, going in a new phase of development of the capital, we also enter a new phase of the fight for its dissolution and that we must create it’s forms, it’s analyses, it’s methods.
