Indignez vous! by Stephane Hessel - the text « Sapte Stele / Seven Stars - 1 views

  • The end is not far away
  • The public interest must prevail over the interest individual, the fair sharing of the wealth created by the world of work override the power of  money.
  • “The press freedom, its  honor and independence againt the power of the State, the power of money and foreign influences.” That is what turns further orders on the press in 1944. Yet that is what is now in danger. The Resistance was calling for “an effective opportunity for all French children to benefit from the most developed education”, without discrimination, yet the reforms proposed in 2008 go against this project. Young teachers, which actions I support, were up to refuse to apply them and they saw their wages cut as a punishment. They were outraged, have “disobeyed” and found these reforms too far from the ideal of the republican school, too much in the service of Page 3 the money society and not enough developing the creative and critical thinking. It is just the base of the social conquests of the Resistance which is now in question (2)

  • The gap between the poorest and richest has never been so important, and the race for money, the competition has never been so encouraged.
  • We, veterans of resistance movements and fighting forces of Liberated France, we call the younger generations to stand up, to transmit the heritage of the Resistance and its ideals.
  • When I try to understand what caused fascism, what caused the invasion by it and by Vichy, I tell myself that the wealthy, with their selfishness, have been terribly afraid of the Bolshevik revolution. They have been guided by their fears
  • Proust
  • Walter Benjamin
  • I tell young people: Look for a bit, you’ll find.
  • The worst attitude is indifference, saying “I can not do anything, I’m doing my job.
  • I had the chance after Liberation of being involved in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations, 10 December 1948 in Paris at the Palais de Chaillot.
  • René Cassin was  the one whom we owe the term “universal rights Page 7 and not” international “as suggested by our Anglo-Saxon friends.
  • It is obvious that to be effective today, we must act in a network, take advantage of all means of modern communication.
  • Alas, history gives little examples of people who learn from their own history.
  • Guillaume Apollinaire: “That hope is violent ” not politics

The Mental Environment | Adbusters Culturejammer Headquarters - 0 views

  • We’ve seen all kinds of toxins poured into the infostream. Check out a Leni Riefenstahl movie if you want to see what I mean. Try to imagine life during Mao’s Cultural Revolution. The state, the church have time and again become mentally oppressive until eventually a resistance emerged — a resistance that, from Martin Luther to Vaclav Havel, said at least in part: “We want our minds back.” Not all the way back: We’ve never owned our minds entirely. But more of our minds, in better shape.
  • We are the first few generations to receive most of our sense of the world mediated rather than direct, to have it arrive through one screen or another instead of from contact with other human beings or with nature.

      Endnu et af de her postulater, som jeg ikke synes tåler et nøjere eftersyn. Før i tiden fik folk måske bare slet ikke noget billede af verden overhovedet. I dag rejser vi meget mere end tidligere, og alene det gør vel, at vi sanser mere af verden, selvom vi også få mere medieret viden end tidligere.
  • imagine instead a thousand different communities, adapted to the physical places they inhabit, sharing insight and difference, appreciating small scale and large heart. Where no musician sells 10 million copies, but 10 million musicians sing each night.

      Endelig noget positivt formuleret, men jeg må indrømme, at jeg har svært ved at forestille mig noget sådant, omvendt lyder det på sin vis rart.

Book Party for 'Coming Insurrection' Backs Tarnac 9 of France - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • When the French publisher La Fabrique first issued “The Coming Insurrection” in 2007, it received comparatively little attention. But among those who did take notice were the French police, who began monitoring a group of people, mostly graduate students, living in the tiny mountain village of Tarnac in central France. Last November nine of those men and women, ages 22 to 34, were arrested and accused of “associating with a terrorist enterprise” and disabling power lines that left 40,000 passengers stranded for several hours on high-speed trains. A spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutors’ office said that one of the nine, Julien Coupat, was believed to have written “The Coming Insurrection.” He has denied being the author but told interviewers in France that he admired the book.The government eventually released the group — who have come to be known as the Tarnac Nine — pending further investigation, with some opponents of the official action accusing the police of carrying out arrests without sufficient evidence.

Anti-autoriteten er på retur | information.dk - 0 views

  • »Den stigende tillid til autoriteter afspejler en tro på, at hvis bare vi får mere autoritet, så får vi også bedre mulighed for at udvikle os. Vi skal være individualister, men det skal foregå inden for den ramme, som staten har defineret,« siger han.
