Syndicate: <nettime> festival of resistance, ljubljana, june 16 |
From: "geert lovink" <geert@xs4all.nl> Subject: <nettime> festival of resistance, ljubljana, june 16 Date: Thu, 31 May 2001 10:54:45 +1000 The Festival of Resistance in Ljublajna, Slovenia By Globala 16th of june, Ljubljana, Slovenia is going to host the American-Russian summit. The meeting of the president of the USA George Bush and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin is going to take place. Slovene economical-political elite is greeting the decision to have the American-Russian summit in Ljubljana. For them this is an opportunity for Slovenia to show its achievements in the face of the whole world. We also think that the summit is an ideal opportunity to show the achievements of their rule in Slovenia. These are: - violations of the basic rights of foreigners and immigrants in Slovenia (concentration camps for illegal immigrants, shooting on immigrants at the border) - system and police repression on subcultures and others minorities (sexual, cultural, ethnical) - destruction of the social state and gradual diminution of labour rights in favour of the parazitic capital and its management - acts that are aiming at preventing any possible resistance through corporative feudalism, through repressive measures in legislation and through strengthening of the police - the establishment of the police state in the border areas which are becoming the impassable wall of the Europe-fortress - aggressive ideological polarization of the society on the patriarchic-catholic camp and liberal camp. Latter proclaimed rights on the declarative level and denies them on the capillar level by the fascist administrative mechanisms and measures - violent, backed by media, pushing into so called Euro-Atlantic integrations (NATO and EU), which has the aim to militarize the country, final destruction of the mechanism of the social state, liberalization of the labour market, restructuration of the agriculture into big complexes with the proletarization of small peasants. Particular episodes of repression are connected. We have to link singular struggles against domination and repression to bind them into the mosaic of refusal and collective desire for alternative meaning and aim of individual and collective existence. Against the power that organizes our experiences and relations in the direction of exclusion, inequality and hierarchy, we fight for experiences and relations that are going to live in potentiality, plurality and creativity. We do not attack singular anomalies of the system. Through the engagement in the particular and local problems we are figting against global logic of power, which works on micro and macro level. Bush and Putin are its most exposed representatives. Our desire is to open the new space for all those that are excluded from the existing power, to give them visibility and to start the process that is going to define new space of alternative relations and communications through the struggle against existing organisation and codification of flows and experiences. We propose you to join us on the 16th of june in Ljubljana, to build a Festival of Resistance and to compose this mosaic of desire, creativity and freedom.
