MAY DAYS 2002

Creating the alternatives to the global capitalism

Slovensko - klikni sem za slovensko verzijo

In the age of “global capitalism” the true  interests of the ruling system have revealed  itself. This system divides people to rich and  poor, to exploiters and exploited, to legal and  illegal, to strong and oppressed, to success and  failures. The system has become even more  aggressive and once unvisible forces of  repression, state violence and terror have  become visible. As the world capitalist elites  direct and control the course of human history,  people lose the most, because the interests of  the rulers are never the same as the interests  of the common people. Economic globalisation,  war against terror, false democracy and inhuman  capitalist competition have lead to the point  when human dignity, morals and ethics are no  longer playing a part in this world. For the  interests of the ruling elites, their capital  and private ownership are tearing down all  barriers of humanity and justice.

The only answer and the only alternative to  these circumstances is resistance and action, so  we are calling you to actively and with all  strength join the preparations, organisation and  program of the so called “MAY DAYS 2002”. We  want to create alternatives through various  activities, performances, events and actions in  the week between 27th of April and 3rd of May  2002 in Ljubljana – Slovenija. Your  participation is very important because we have  to create a different world  together and we  would like that a lot of different people and  groups would participate in this project. We  hope to create a united “opposition”, strong  enough and capable to represent radical  alternatives to politically, economically and  socially unjust world order. There is no place  for apathy anymore. It is time for engaged work  and struggle against the injustice and  inhumanity of this world and for creating a  different, fairer and better life! 

Join the international resistance against  capitalism! Let us stop their game with human  lives! Let us stop their weapons, wars, armies  and police! It has been enough of lies and  deceits! It has been enough of their state,  their system and their abuse of democracy! We  want the conditions that will allow absolute  freedom of individuals and an opportunity to  make our own destiny and our own future! This is  something that capitalism cannot and will never  be able to offer! 

For a different world of different values! For a  world without borders and of free movement! For  a world without classes, for equality, justice,  happiness and peace! For friendship, life and  freedom! For social justice and the same  conditions for everyone! For a world that will  not be led by the elite blinded with power! 

Let's unite our strength and searching for  alternatives! 

DIFFERENT WORLD IS POSSIBLE! DIFFERENT WORLD IS NECESSARY!

INFO POINT and ACCOMODATION

There will be an INFO POINT working in time of  MAY DAYS. It will be placed in a SKRATOVA  CITALNICA (anarchist library and radical  infoteka) in a culture social centre METELKOVA.  Probably there will be also one INFO POINT  placed in a squatted house VILA MARA, but at  this time we don't know what will happen with  this house. INFO POINT will have all information  you need, actual infos and updates. It will also  take care on distribution of sleeping places.  There will be enough place for all.  Accommodations will be in different locations.  Information will have the INFO POINTS. 

There will be an option of using internet in  INFO POINT in SKRATOVA CITALNICA and also every  day option for using internet in a KIBER PIPA  (internet point).  

Legal help will be organised also for the week  of May Days 2002.
