 Let's put an end to useless major public works and to the repression of militants!
For more than 20 years, Val di Susa residents, common people and militants have opposed the construction of a high-speed railway to connect Lyons with Turin. This useless major infrastructural project would be a catastrophe, wreaking destruction on Nature and ravaging the ecological system. Some of the tunnels are meant to be pierced through uranium and asbestos ore, which would spread the dust of these minerals throughout the valley's atmosphere. Collaterally, many expropriations are planned to enable the railway's construction, especially of agricultural lands.It has been demonstrated that these construction works will cost a fortune to local populations, while the existing rail lines could be improved and put to better use, especially to carry freight, which is currently delivered by road, causing massive pollution. Every metre of the TAV costs €158,000! These are public resources being diverted from socially-useful works and services to be consigned into the hands of mafias and profiteers!Strong protest has never stopped since the project began, with thousands protesting, and the Val di Susa also being occupied, together with other acts of resistance and sabotage against the work sites imposed on the population. This movement brings together militants from the valley, people from all over Italy and even collectives from France, and has become a struggle of reference for the Italian social movement of the last 20 years. It has also been heavily repressed by the Italian State. [Français] [Italiano]
In solidarity with the NO TAV struggleLet's put an end to useless major public works and to the repression of militants!For more than 20 years, Val di Susa residents, common people and militants have opposed the construction of a high-speed railway to connect Lyons with Turin.

This movement brings together militants from the valley, people from all over Italy and even collectives from France, and has become a struggle of reference for the Italian social movement of the last 20 years. It has also been heavily repressed by the Italian State. For years, the NoTAV militants have been subject to arrests, with Italian magistrates rabidly pursuing them. Although the charge of terrorism has been dropped, the Italian State continues to strike indiscriminately at the NoTAV movement, criminalizing every demonstration. It is a strategy against political, trade union and social militants in Italy, that is spreading throughout Europe and across the world. 48 NoTAV militants were recently sentenced to a total of over 140 years and payment of over €100,000 for the demonstrations held between 27 June and 3 July in 2011. This is a political sentence, built with intimidation and stretching of definitions. Everywhere in the world, people’s movements are rising up against these useless major public works, from Testet TAZ, to protesting against dam, nuclear plant and airport projects and so many others in favour of a industrial-productivist society, that capitalism and States are bent on imposing onto us. Recently, a comrade lost his life when he was killed by a grenade launched by the police militias. This comrade could have been any of us. Rémi was murdered while defending a zone meant to be turned into a dam, to satisfy the agriculture industry in the Testet; proof enough that the State and the major capitalist corporations have very little consideration for human life, not to mention Nature. Stop all useless major projects! Stop the looting of our communities! Let the people have control over our communities! Massive united NoTAV demonstration on 21 February in Turin.International solidarity!Signatories:

The general strike for a Just Transition will be the beginning, but not the end of the matter. We will open up a debate about the dimensions and shape of the Just Transition. As the struggle progresses, more workers will come to realise that the only Just Transition is a transition away from capitalism. Two facts will drive this. First more people will see the existing capitalist class is so invested in fossil fuels that it has to be swept aside for humanity to achieve sustainability. The understanding will also emerge that eternal growth is the ideology of the cancer cell. Only by abolishing capitalism can we disconnect living standards from resource consumption and adopt a circular zero waste economy.
This article looks at the way capitalism and consumerism are destroying the resources of the planet, while critiquing mainstream environmentalist responses to this destruction.
Theorists of the climate-justice movement have been raising decentralist ideas as part of their programs for an ecologically-balanced society. This ecological program means more local democracy, workers’ management of industry, consumer coops, and federations of radically-democratic institutions. Such ideas revive the decentralist ideas of anarchism.
The planet is warming. This is not new to the earth’s history, which is billions of years old. But why the controversy regarding this fact? Does it lie in the association between climate change and the man-made contributing factors to this change? Is it because of the reality of the impact of the industrial age; the very foundations on which modern capitalism and empire has been built? Many within these industries spend billions on promoting the idea that climate change is a naturally-occurring phenomenon. But scientists around the world show convincingly that man-made fossil-fuel economies (economies built on the use of oil and coal, which release massive amounts of pollution and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, creating the greenhouse effect and global warming) have contributed, over a short period of time, to rapidly accelerating the usual naturally-occurring effect. The impact has been, amongst other things, rising sea levels, increased drought and destructive weather patterns. However, this knowledge has been met by a strong response from capitalists – and the politicians they fund – to throw doubt on the role and culpability of the industries that are causing the most damage (and have made them very rich and powerful.) They continue to fund “alternative” research and media propaganda to do so.
