To live anarchism, we must give ourselves the means to match the current situation. To this end, we propose here are excerpts from What I think of Maurice Joyeux (1910-1991). Locksmith worker, trade union activist, conscientious objector, Maurice Joyeux is a key figure of the Anarchist Federation after the war. His message is still valid for us, since it relies on general beliefs that are still ours, but also, to the extent that its purpose is just an invitation to live anarchism, that is ie to work renewed discount of our social analysis.
In a general warning, Maurice Joyeux first announcement that it intends to make a very general way.
P. 7 " This text does not pretend to be exhaustive. He has only one purpose: to open some windows to ventilate an ideology whose principles are inalienable but whose means of action, on pain of becoming archaic instruments should be redefined according to changing human needs, techniques and knowledge within a company that renews ceases. "
In the introduction, Maurice Joyeux enters the details of this renewal program, listing several points which must be addressed.
P. 14 " I think some elements of our traditional discourse need to be seriously considered: the economic structure of modern society, the dialectic that guides the thinking and especially the action of men, the transition from the system we know and classless society, the strategy of struggle and, finally, self-management and coordination structures. "
In the first chapter entitled "Socialism, classes and evolution Maurice Merry begins by measuring the magnitude of the task it is to be done to achieve an analysis of the economic structure of society today.
P. 25 " We were trained to understand the mechanism of exploitation of workers by the theorists of various schools of socialism, based on primary mechanisms that have allowed once the development of the capitalist system. But today, we lack a robust theory that considers the changes undergone by the economy over the last 50 years. We restricted ourselves to adapt classical socialist theories on capitalism evolving. Each time an attempt to rethink some fundamental problems has been carried out, it was met with insurmountable wall of misconceptions. "
This is the challenge of giving momentum anarchist means to live up to his time as Maurice Merry invites us to face. To accomplish this task, you must have a clear mind about his sighting, the dual purpose that guides the anarchist struggle, which we will pay attention the next series of excerpts from What I think . A third and final set of excerpts will open on the study of practical means at our disposal.
