A little less than a day after yesterday's march, I'd like to raise a question that I understand you’re not engaged with, especially in this virtual context, and I completely understand you, but right now I really don’t care and I’m writing anyway. ABOUT YESTERDAY’S MARCH FOR THE MURDER OF ABD EL SALAM: Two thousand people, mostly workers and USB unions (imagine if the employers' CGIL would participate), and the rest are just generic comrades. Few considering the seriousness of the situation: the assassination of a worker. Not so few considering it happened on Thursday. Mainly there was anger. A lot, a huge amount of anger, but definitely repressed, perhaps too much. Therefore, one could reduce the demonstration to a simple parade for Piacenza, because here, like it or not, many lives are at stake, not just that of the one who was killed. Like Abd El Salam, there are many who are at risk, not only of losing their jobs but even of not being able to survive. And now, almost a day after the march, peaceful and fairly calm by all accounts, who is talking about it?! Only online, writing the usual keywords, there are few articles and/or videos about the march and you have to search for them. You find more about the day before the demonstration, when motorists were warned about the closed traffic and not to leave their cars along the march route, or when shopkeepers were told to watch out for their businesses because there could be “infiltrated” violent ones, oh yes. In short, in the liberal world of rights for all, if someone gets killed in a political context that highlights the contradictions of the very system of work and capital, and you hold a PEACEFUL march, it’s already a lot that they write about your protest’s demands. IF, however, as the cops, bosses, and authorities feared, pandemonium happens the day after, what will they talk about?! About VIOLENCE AND NOTHING ELSE, but perpetrated obviously by the usual troublemakers, who will then of course be discredited by the other attendees of the march and labeled as “fascists”, when it goes well. And down with images and reports of broken windows, tear gas, the injured, maybe burning cars, and having ruined an entire city (not to mention the more fanciful and serious accusations to jail those who challenge the police) and blah blah blah. In short, the alternative EVERY TIME is always and only between silence and infamy, this is the great freedom for those who own nothing, except for their own skin.

And other truths are already emerging. There are already a thousand things that are not true. Abdesselem El Danaf definitely threw himself under the truck. And the truck was going slow, mind you! Moreover, there was no picket at that moment. In short, a deliberate and reckless act. He really went looking for it. There was so little presence that the driver risked lynching, or is that not true either?! The charge for this FASCIST (fascism is not just about those who walk around with the Celtic cross on their arm; it's primarily about the social function one fulfills) is vehicular homicide. Let politics stay far away from newspapers and TV! God forbid capitalism should have anything to do with this matter. Class struggle does not exist, and those who think so are clearly terrorists and, at best, violent individuals. Certain things cannot be said because they evoke ghosts of the past that are best kept under the rug, like dust. The truth is not just a matter of facts but also a matter of causes. Abdesselem was killed like a dog because he was fighting against a sick system and its henchmen. Against a state of affairs that confronts us without asking anything and relegates us, if we haven’t had fortunate births, to serve, bow our heads, and lead a miserable life to hand it over to those who appropriate our efforts to survive. And this, mind you, is not victimhood. No one should dare to say: poor thing! Abdesselem is not a victim but a comrade who died fighting. He ended up under that truck because he stepped into the street with a well-defined will and was killed with equal determination by an enemy who was against what he was fighting for, probably his very own life, and we all saw what the outcome was. However, his struggle did not end with him, just as it has not ended with others who gave their lives opposing the status quo. This is usually a very lighthearted page, as is the entire site, but I feel solidarity with Abdesselem is due to those who struggle, often, too often, just to support their families (he personally had a wife and 5 children, it seems). Tomorrow, OCTOBER 17TH, A PROTEST AND SOLIDARITY MARCH will take place in PIACENZA. You will surely find more information online. The gathering should be in the early afternoon.
