Transition to where? With whom? How?

Autumn will be warm. This is not the first time that we have heard something like this, although then there is something else that warmed us up. But the difference this time is that we're hearing the announcement from the mouth of system managers. It is not an atmosphere of protest, even if there are no strikes, that is warming up the autumn.

That the end of prosperity comes in the French state, that families will suffer in EE.UU, that it will be cold in homes in England, that the effect of the German slowdown in our environment has nothing to do with it, because speeches create an imaginary and set scripts. They are announcing the end of Zeoze, but without saying what has been exhausted. And above all, without discussing what that news item is going to be. It is being said that “transition” is necessary, urgent and inevitable. What fate will be, even if we know as little as the starting point.

They extend our hand to enter a transition without known destinations. Once again, do we all want to go in the same direction? Therefore, there are no class conflicts to make an ecological transition, to reorganize the economic model or to agree on what to do with the problems of the social model. There is experience in the Spanish State that everything will remain the same in the transitions prepared and carried out. Discourse struggle is not enough to curb neoliberal agendas, but without a strong alternative discourse it is not possible. Of course, knowing that what speeches do is our practices. We have a pant for the new course!
