	<title><![CDATA[Gay, communist, female: why MI5 blacklisted the poet Valentine Ackland | Biography books]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p class="css-10tjifi">With the help of Dorset police, MI5 were confidently closing in on three subversive potential terrorists living quietly together near the sea almost 85 years ago. Local officers had been alerted to their shared communist sympathies and were now monitoring the suspects: Ackland, Townsend and Warner, each one deemed a threat to Britain’s security in the run-up to the second world war.</p><p class="css-10tjifi">But in fact, as recently released secret service documents show, this potentially dangerous trio under covert surveillance were actually female poets. And what’s more, there were just two of them: lesbian lovers <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2006/may/20/featuresreviews.guardianreview26" title="" data-link-name="in body link">Valentine Ackland</a> and Sylvia Townsend Warner.</p><p class="css-10tjifi">A new biography of Ackland, out next month, is to reveal the level of secret service confusion about this unconventional pair of writers at the beginning of the long period during which they were both objects of state scrutiny. All their correspondence was stopped and read by MI5 officers without their knowledge, and Ackland’s later attempts to enlist for significant war work were blocked.</p><p class="css-10tjifi">“There are all these hand-copied versions of their letters, which must have been made in longhand by bureaucrats sitting around in tweed jackets, as I imagine it,” said the biographer Frances Bingham, author of the first major study of the cross-dressing poet and activist. Her book <a href="https://www.handheldpress.co.uk/shop/womens-lives/frances-bingham-valentine-ackland-atransgressive-life/" title="" data-link-name="in body link">Valentine Ackland, A Transgressive Life</a> will be published on 20 May by Handheld Press to mark 115 years since Ackland’s birth.</p><p class="css-10tjifi">“I researched this part of the couple’s lives in the Public Record Office at Kew and I could see the government had searched in vain for some definite evidence against them,” said Bingham this weekend.</p>
<p>Frances Bingham’s biography is published on 20 May 2021, 115 years to the day since Ackland was born.</p>
<p class="css-10tjifi">“The authorities first heard about Ackland in 1935 when she wrote to the British Communist party. She offered them the use of her car and was prepared to become a driver. MI5 presumed she was a man and wrote to their local police force saying they should check up on them.”</p><p class="css-10tjifi">Ackland, born Mary Kathleen in London in 1906 and known as Molly in her youth, had been taught to drive and to shoot by her father, who had no sons. Her lover, Townsend Warner, was a writer who is still acclaimed for her novels and short stories, including a debut bestseller, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/sep/15/100-best-novels-lolly-willowes-sylvia-townsend-warner-robert-mccrum" title="" data-link-name="in body link">Lolly Willowes</a>. The couple lived together in intermittent harmony for 30 years until Ackland’s death in 1969.</p><p class="css-10tjifi">“MI5 told the police they wanted to know if there was anything ‘abnormal’ about Ackland,” said Bingham, who has previously edited a collection of Ackland’s poetry. “While this question and the mistakes about their gender, including the fact they initially thought Townsend Warner was two people, did make me laugh at first, a moment later it struck a chill through me. It was clear that being homosexual and being a threat to society were one and the same thing in their minds. These people were communists and they were queer, and both of these things were very bad.”</p><p class="css-10tjifi">At the age of 19, Ackland had married a man, Richard Turpin. But the union was a mistake from the first. And so, in 1925, already sporting a boyish Eton crop and men’s clothes, the reluctant wife moved down to the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/feb/19/country-diary-east-chaldon-dorset-sylvia-townsend-valentine-ackland" title="" data-link-name="in body link">Dorset village of Chaldon</a> to escape. She met Townsend Warner, 12 years her senior, soon afterwards.</p>

<p class="css-10tjifi">In 1934 the writers jointly published a sensational collection of erotic love poems, Whether a Dove or Seagull. The verses appeared anonymously, blurring the identities of the poets.</p><p class="css-10tjifi">That year they also both joined the Communist party.</p><p class="css-10tjifi">Ackland, who had begun to experiment with a simpler writing style, started to be widely published in the leftwing press. Together, the couple volunteered for the British Red Cross in Barcelona during the Spanish civil war, where they were delegates to an anti-fascist writers’ conference in Madrid and visited the front lines at Guadalajara. Ackland’s articles (from “our worker correspondent”) captured the idealism and chaos of republican Spain, but she also wrote what Bingham describes as “melancholy poems” that lamented the victory of fascism.</p><p class="css-10tjifi">After Spain, the couple moved inland in Dorset, to a riverside house in Frome Vauchurch, where they stayed for the rest of their lives. As the war against Germany played out, Ackland felt imprisoned in the west country, with repeated applications to use her driving skills for the allied campaign mysteriously turned down.</p><p class="css-10tjifi">“She was a communist in the sense that she was always on the side of the underdog,” said Bingham. “Although she was from a wealthy background, she felt an outsider. She was very anti-Nazi, but despite the fact she was the right age, she didn’t get an interesting wartime job.</p><p class="css-10tjifi">“This was because, without her knowledge, she was blacklisted. All she could get was minor clerical work, and she was eventually moved over to civil defence, and even there her superiors were warned not to let her see or overhear anything. She had no idea.”</p><p class="css-10tjifi">Ackland’s poem Teaching to Shoot, from this period, describes the disturbing process of instructing Townsend Warner how to use a gun, in expectation of a Nazi invasion.</p><p class="css-10tjifi">Ackland died of cancer at 63. Townsend Warner survived the woman she called “my light and my gravity” by almost nine years and spent much of that time editing a posthumous collection of Ackland’s poetry, The Nature of the Moment, and preparing their letters for publication.</p><p class="css-10tjifi">“I see Ackland as a pioneer forerunner of modern lesbian writing and I want to celebrate her determination to live as herself,” said Bingham, who runs Potters’ Yard Arts in London with her partner, Liz Mathews. “I find her story very inspiring.”</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[De la soumission européenne en une... - Anne-Sophie Chazaud]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>De la soumission européenne en une image.</p><p>Chacun s’accorde à parler d’un loupé, d’une bourde diplomatique, d’une erreur de la Turquie avec ce traitement humiliant réservé à U.Von der Leyen, présidente de la Commission européenne, remisée par le dictateur islamiste au rang de potiche en train d’épousseter le canapé, déjà bien heureuse qu’on ne lui demande pas d’aller préparer des pâtisseries à la cuisine, pendant que les messieurs parlent d’on ne sait quoi en étalant leurs jambes bien relâchés du slip et le visage non masqué.<br />Cette image est en fait le parfait reflet de la réalité, elle est donc le contraire d’un loupé. Elle manifeste tout ce qui est haissable et méprisable dans la situation actuelle :<br />La veulerie de l’Union européenne face à l’islam politique et à la brutalité turque.<br />L’absence de professionnalisme dans la préparation protocolaire de cette rencontre de la part des Européens.<br />La goujaterie pathétique et vulgaire de Charles Michel, président du Conseil européen, sorte d’inutile grande saucisse technocratique incapable de faire fonctionner ses quelques neurones ou son éducation afin de se lever et céder son fauteuil à la présidente.<br />La soumission également d’Ursula Von der Leyen qui, constatant la situation, aurait dû quitter les lieux sur le champ ou se lever et exiger qu’on modifie la configuration de la rencontre.<br />Bref, tout ceci est parfaitement représentatif de la situation réelle ainsi que, accessoirement, de la conception des femmes en territoire islamiste.<br />Cette visite ressemblait déjà à quelque reptation larvaire, elle a trouvé dans cette mise en scène sa parfaite incarnation.<br />L’Union européenne, qui subit et accepte les chantages du tyran islamiste, entre autres nullités, ne mérite rien de mieux.</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p class="css-6ebghe">The White House has expressed concern over a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/apr/08/northern-ireland-unrest-why-violence-broken-out" data-link-name="in body link">week of riots in Northern Ireland</a>, with Joe Biden joining Boris Johnson and the Irish prime minister in calling for calm after what police described as the worst violence in Belfast for years.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">It came as police used water cannon against nationalist youths in west Belfast, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/apr/08/belfast-police-water-cannon-rioters-seventh-night-unrest" data-link-name="in body link">as unrest stirred again on the streets on Thursday evening</a>, with reports that officers later warned they could use “impact rounds” – also known as plastic bullets.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">In a statement, the US president’s press secretary, Jen Psaki, said: “We are concerned by the violence in Northern Ireland” and that Biden remained “steadfast” in his support for a “secure and prosperous <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk/northernireland" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="in body link">Northern Ireland</a> in which all communities have a voice and enjoy the gains of the hard-won peace”.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">She spoke as the Northern Ireland secretary, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/apr/08/northern-ireland-executive-holds-emergency-meeting-unrest-belfast" data-link-name="in body link">Brandon Lewis, called on political leaders</a> across the spectrum to tone down their language to ease tensions.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">Biden, who has Irish roots, has repeatedly expressed support for the peace process and last year waded into a row over UK plans to override parts of the Brexit deal, warning <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/boris-johnson" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="in body link">Boris Johnson</a> that any trade deal was “contingent upon respect for the [peace] agreement and preventing the return of a hard border”.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">Police said as many as 600 people had been involved in disturbances in Belfast on Wednesday, when a bus was petrol-bombed, plastic bullets were fired and missiles were hurled over a “peace wall”.</p>

<p class="css-6ebghe">With parts of Belfast scarred and a political crisis brewing, the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/apr/07/bus-set-on-fire-in-belfast-on-sixth-night-of-unrest-in-northern-ireland" data-link-name="in body link">Northern Ireland assembly united in its condemnation</a> of the rioting and agreed a motion calling for an end to the “deplorable” violence and support for the rule of law.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">Boris Johnson and the Irish prime minister, Micheál Martin, spoke by phone on Thursday, called for calm, and agreed that “the way forward is through dialogue and working the institutions of the Good Friday agreement”.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">Northern Ireland was plunged into crisis after violence escalated at the intersection between loyalist and nationalist communities in the Shankill and Springfield areas.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">Police said rioters had thrown petrol bombs, bottles, masonry and fireworks, and a Belfast Telegraph photographer was attacked. Police fired six plastic bullets known as attenuating energy projectiles (AEPs) on Wednesday night. Eight officers were injured in the unrest and two men aged 28 and 18 were arrested on suspicion of riotous behaviour.</p>

<p class="css-6ebghe">The Police Service of Northern Ireland assistant chief constable Jonathan Roberts said Wednesday’s mayhem “was at a scale we have not seen in recent years” and it was lucky that no one had been seriously hurt or killed.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">Stones and fireworks were thrown at police by gangs of youths gathered on the nationalist Springfield Road on Thursday evening, close to where Wednesday night’s riots took place. Police deployed water cannon after protesters failed to disperse. Later in the evening, there were reports that police warned crowds “impact rounds will be fired”. The plastic bullets are not used as a means of crowd control in any part of the UK apart from Northern Ireland, and their use has been condemned by human rights groups.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">Lewis was due to hold virtual meetings with leaders of all five parties in the Northern Ireland executive, including the Democratic Unionist party, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/sinn-fein" data-component="auto-linked-tag" data-link-name="in body link">Sinn Féin</a> and the Alliance party, on Friday morning.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">After touching down in Belfast, he said he had encouraged politicians to “think very carefully” about the language they used. He added: “Not just unionists, but if you look at the tweets and messages from politicians from all parties, they have put out messages that can be interpreted in a particular way as having a bit of spite to them.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">“I don’t think there is any place for that. I have spoken to people across parties about that.”</p><p class="css-6ebghe">He named no names, but public positions have become polarised over both the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/apr/06/northern-ireland-protocol-critics-have-no-alternative-says-eu-ambassador" data-link-name="in body link">Brexit protocols for Northern Ireland</a> and recent decision not to prosecute <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/apr/01/stormont-assembly-censures-sinn-fein-members-over-funeral" data-link-name="in body link">Sinn Féin leaders who attended a funeral</a> in contravention of health restrictions. “I think we all have to be very clear about the fact that what politicians here say matters,” Lewis said.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">There had been hopes that tensions could ease on Thursday as the Ulster Political Research Group, which is linked to the paramilitary Ulster Defence Association, called for an end to the violence, saying “street disturbances will not solve our issues”. The Loyalist Communities Council, which represents loyalist paramilitary groups, reportedly met on Thursday afternoon, but failed to reach agreement on a statement condemning the violence.</p>]]></description>

Stones and fireworks were thrown at police by gangs of youths gathered on the nationalist Springfield Road, close to where riots took place on Wednesday night.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">Those involved were warned by police to “disperse immediately or the water cannon will be used”. However, those present continued to fire missiles at police, and after several warnings, the water cannon was deployed. Some of those present jeered before fleeing as the water jet came closer.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">Later in the evening, there were reports that police warned crowds “impact rounds will be fired”. Impact rounds, also known as AEPs or plastic bullets, are not used as a means of crowd control in any part of the UK apart from Northern Ireland, and their use has been condemned by human rights groups. Six plastic bullets were fired by police during Wednesday night’s events.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">The justice minister, Naomi Long, issued a fresh call for an end to the violence after what she called “depressing and reckless” scenes on Thursday. <a href="https://twitter.com/naomi_long/status/1380244254270820353" data-link-name="in body link">She tweeted</a>: “More attacks on police, this time from nationalist youths. Utterly reckless and depressing to see more violence at interface areas tonight.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">“My heart goes out to those living in the area who are living with this fear and disturbance. This needs to stop now, before lives are lost.”</p><p class="css-6ebghe">Wednesday night’s violence saw clashes along the peace wall that separates the unionist Shankill Road from the nationalist Springfield Road. But Thursday night’s unrest appeared to be confined to nationalists. Groups of community activists were seen attempting to prevent access to the gate of the peace line where clashes took place the previous night.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">A heavy police presence was in operation on Thursday night, with water cannon, police dogs and the riot squad in place in a bid to quell another night of unrest. PSNI officers were seen holding riot shields and being pelted with missiles before charging the youths with dogs in order to drive them off.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">Earlier, the UK prime minister and Irish premier made a joint appeal for calm after days of unrest in Northern Ireland. Boris Johnson and taoiseach Micheál Martin had spoken over the phone on Thursday about the violent clashes in mainly loyalist areas.</p><p class="css-6ebghe">In a statement, the Irish government said the two leaders stressed that violence was unacceptable. “The way forward is through dialogue and working the institutions of the Good Friday Agreement,” the statement said. “[The leaders] agreed that the two governments would continue to stay in contact.”</p><p class="css-6ebghe"><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/apr/08/white-house-joe-biden-expresses-concern-over-northern-ireland-violence" data-link-name="in body link">The Biden administration in the US also appealed for calm in Northern Ireland</a> and voiced its support for the Brexit protocol.</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Quand la burqa dévoile les divisions de la gauche]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>S’adressant dans une lettre ouverte aux porteuses de burqa, une femme de lettres et militante féministe s’exprimait ainsi dans une chronique parue dans le Nouvel observateur en 2009 : « sommes-nous à ce point méprisables et impurs à vos yeux pour que vous nous refusiez tout contact, toute relation, et jusqu’à la connivence d’un sourire ? ». Prononcés il y a près de douze ans, ces mots n’ont pas pris une ride. Signés d’Elisabeth Badinter, dont l’action pour l’égalité des sexes n’a jamais été démentie, ils s’inscrivent dans la tradition laïque de la gauche française. Aux avant-postes d’un combat perpétuel, voire d’un plébiscite de tous les jours, celle-ci est largement restée fidèle à sa volonté émancipatrice. Désormais confrontée aux dérives communautaristes de quelques-uns de ses frères et sœurs de combat, elle se sent menacée par un discours auquel elle ne peut accorder aucun crédit politique. Relayé en France par les amis de Jean-Luc Mélenchon, il reste largement minoritaire dans l’hexagone, contrairement au monde anglo-saxon et aussi en Europe, et plus particulièrement en Suisse, où il n’a pas cessé de faire des émules depuis plus d’une décennie.</p><p>Beaucoup plus que ce n’est le cas à droite, les questions religieuses, identitaires et de genre divisent profondément la gauche d’aujourd’hui. Objets de discorde, elles ravivent des plaies malignes, mais non incurables au sein d’une famille politique qui, sans succomber à la gravité des maux qu’elle subit, n’est toutefois pas en mesure d’apporter le moindre remède pour pallier la crise idéologique qu’elle traverse. Première victime de cette forme nouvelle de délitement intellectuel, son école universaliste perd de plus en plus pied et, acculée comme jamais, abandonne les positions qu’elle avait naguère acquises de haute lutte.</p><p>Scindée entre son ancrage laïc à la française et son multiculturalisme à l’américaine, la gauche européenne semble désormais privilégier la seconde. À l’image de la votation sur l’interdiction de la burqa, la Suisse ne fait pas exception à la règle : le PS et les Verts ont choisi leur camp et voteront non. Ralliés aux positions d’une politique qui feint d’ignorer le fossé qui existe entre ces deux approches, ces partis épousent ipso facto l’avis de ceux qui, jusque dans certains milieux universitaires, interprètent le port du voile intégral comme une liberté accordée aux femmes musulmanes.</p><p>À faire sursauter d’émoi et de rage des milliers de féministes, citoyennes et citoyens hostiles à toute forme d’enfermement, ne serait-ce que celle symbolisée par un vêtement, l’attitude de la gauche suisse est très largement influencée par l’école germanique de l’islam. Entre stéréotypes bienveillants, tolérance excessive à tolérer les intolérants et une naïveté apparente, bien que non dénuée d’intérêts inavoués, celle-ci n’a pour autre objet que de relativiser la violence physique, terroriste et morale exercée à l’encontre des chrétiens, juifs, non-croyants et autres mécréants. À ne voir dans les attentats islamistes que le résultat d’une radicalisation de petits délinquants ou à déclarer, à l’exemple du professeur Perry Schmidt-Leukel de l’Université de Münster, que l’assassinat du père Hamel en 2016 à Saint-Étienne- du-Rouvray, ne serait guidé par aucune motivation religieuse, car « dans une guerre de religions, il ne peut y avoir que des attaques guerrières provenant des deux côtes » (sic !), c’est là non seulement faire injure aux victimes de Daesh, mais aussi atteindre une limite éthique, historique et humainement irresponsable qu’aucune gauche, digne de son nom, n’est pas en droit de franchir.</p><p>Aujourd’hui, cette même gauche est prise à son propre piège, faute de ne pas avoir su redonner au mot libération le sens qu’elle lui avait naguère attribué. Alors que dans de nombreux de pays de confession musulmane, beaucoup de femmes dénoncent les traditions et les contraintes sexuelles qui les oppriment, les partis occidentaux, appelés à défendre leurs droits, sombrent dans une nouvelle forme de déni qui les déshonore. Pire encore, ils laissent le champ libre à l’extrême droite qui, pour des motifs exclusivement xénophobes, a réussi à faire de la lutte anti-islamiste son fonds de commerce. Tel est le cas en Suisse, où le « le comité d’Egerkingen » a toutes les chances d’inscrire une nouvelle victoire à son palmarès grâce à son initiative antiburqa et à servir, au-delà des frontières de la Confédération, d’aiguillon et de modèle pour d’autres organisations partageant ces mêmes convictions.</p><p>Presque nulle part en Europe, la gauche n’a su prendre la dimension de ce danger politique. Face à des classes sociales désabusées et à des sympathisants en perte de repères idéologiques et philosophiques, elle offre un espace à la droite, et plus encore à la droite extrême.  Ce constat a été établi depuis plusieurs années par des élus de terrain ou autres dirigeants politiques qui, en France, comme André Gérin, en sa qualité de député-maire communiste de Vénissieux, ville de la banlieue lyonnaise, avait présidé de 2009 à 2010 « la mission d’information parlementaire sur la pratique du port du voile intégral sur le territoire national ». Ainsi, des partis, comme le Rassemblement national, la Ligue, l’AFD ou l’UDC se sont engouffrés dans une brèche et profitent aujourd’hui du silence de leurs adversaires pour récolter les fruits de leur propagande haineuse. Il ne suffit pas de le déplorer, mais également d’en rechercher les causes et de s’interroger sur la faillite d’une gauche européenne, en l’occurrence suisse, qui, à l’exemple de la votation du 7 mars prochain sur la burqa, dévoile ainsi ses profondes divisions au grand jour.</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Le nouveau schisme de la gauche européenne]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">&Agrave; l&rsquo;heure de la comm&eacute;moration du centi&egrave;me anniversaire des Congr&egrave;s de Tours et de Livourne qui, en d&eacute;cembre 1920 et janvier 1921, scell&egrave;rent la scission entre les socialistes et communistes fran&ccedil;ais et italiens, la gauche europ&eacute;enne se trouve dans l&rsquo;une des crises les plus dramatiques de son histoire. &Agrave; quelques rares exceptions pr&egrave;s, elle est au bord d&rsquo;un ab&icirc;me plus id&eacute;ologique qu&rsquo;&eacute;lectoral. &Eacute;loign&eacute;e des d&eacute;bats th&eacute;oriques qui nagu&egrave;re, malgr&eacute; quelques exc&egrave;s, faisaient sa force, elle est menac&eacute;e par un nouveau schisme auquel elle ne s&rsquo;&eacute;tait pas pr&eacute;par&eacute;e. Si les affrontements entre marxistes-l&eacute;ninistes et mench&eacute;viques ne font plus recette, d&rsquo;autres les ont remplac&eacute;s. Peut-&ecirc;tre moins virulents dans leur forme, ils ne le sont pas moins sur le fond.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Aujourd&rsquo;hui deux gauches s&rsquo;opposent l&rsquo;une &agrave; l&rsquo;autre. Tout aussi irr&eacute;conciliables que ne l&rsquo;&eacute;taient les communistes et les socialistes, elles divergent dans leurs croyances, sans &ecirc;tre pour le moins unies dans leur essence. Si l&rsquo;une puise sa pens&eacute;e dans les Lumi&egrave;res et la D&eacute;claration des Droits de l&rsquo;Homme et du Citoyen, l&rsquo;autre trouve ses sources d&rsquo;inspiration dans un diff&eacute;rentialisme anti-&eacute;galitaire. Alors que la premi&egrave;re est universaliste, la seconde est communautariste. En ce sens, celle-ci refuse en amont &laquo;&nbsp;l&rsquo;utilit&eacute; commune des distinctions sociales&nbsp;&raquo;. Non seulement, elle les nourrit, mais elle les cultive pour pr&ecirc;cher un mod&egrave;le de soci&eacute;t&eacute; discriminatoire, o&ugrave; chaque individu se distingue par les diff&eacute;rences qui le s&eacute;parent de son prochain.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Revendiquant souvent &laquo;&nbsp;un droit &agrave; la diff&eacute;rence&nbsp;&raquo;, la gauche communautariste reprend, consciemment ou non, une notion dont la nouvelle droite s&rsquo;&eacute;tait revendiqu&eacute;e d&egrave;s les ann&eacute;es septante. Faisant fi d&rsquo;une approche historique et dialectique de l&rsquo;engagement contre les in&eacute;galit&eacute;s, elle per&ccedil;oit son avenir dans l&rsquo;addition de revendications sectorielles et plus encore identitaires. En toute logique, elle privil&eacute;gie alors l&rsquo;origine aux d&eacute;pens d&rsquo;une prise de conscience sociale et culturelle. Insistant sur le genre, la religion ou la race, elle &eacute;pouse les sch&eacute;mas politiques d&rsquo;une gauche am&eacute;ricaine qui est toujours rest&eacute;e minoritaire au cours de sa longue et tr&egrave;s infructueuse histoire.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Aujourd&rsquo;hui, le vent en poupe, la gauche communautariste contribue &agrave; alimenter la crise de la gauche universaliste. Par crainte de perdre la bataille des id&eacute;es, celle-ci se recroqueville sur elle-m&ecirc;me et n&rsquo;ose m&ecirc;me plus afficher ses valeurs qui ont fait sa fiert&eacute;. Elle s&rsquo;accommode de tout, se tait et accepte ce qu&rsquo;elle ne devrait pas accepter. Elle tombe grossi&egrave;rement dans le pi&egrave;ge que les communautaristes lui ont tendu et se conforme &agrave; une pens&eacute;e dominante qui, en fin de compte, n&rsquo;arrange que les dominants.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Prise dans le tourbillon d&rsquo;une &eacute;criture post-coloniale, inclusive et aussi ridicule que politiquement correcte, elle s&rsquo;incline et se soumet. Elle n&rsquo;a plus le courage de ses opinions, alors que plus que jamais elle devrait l&rsquo;avoir. Ses bastions intellectuels sont en danger et elle assiste sans broncher au d&eacute;tricotage de son capital culturel et social. Accus&eacute;e de ne pas d&eacute;fendre les minorit&eacute;s, la gauche universaliste n&rsquo;a d&rsquo;autre r&eacute;ponse que de rester fid&egrave;le &agrave; son combat pour l&rsquo;&eacute;galit&eacute;, &agrave; savoir pour sa lutte contre tout ce qui peut opposer l&rsquo;un &agrave; l&rsquo;autre, l&rsquo;homme &agrave; la femme, le noir au blanc, celui qui croit &agrave; celui qui ne croit pas.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Plus que jamais, cette gauche universaliste, digne du nom dont elle se r&eacute;clame, n&rsquo;a que pour seule planche de salut de se r&eacute;volter contre son ennemie de l&rsquo;int&eacute;rieur. Appel&eacute;e &agrave; fourbir ses armes contre d&rsquo;inimaginables d&eacute;rives auxquelles elle n&rsquo;avait jamais song&eacute;, elle n&rsquo;a pas d&rsquo;autre choix que de reprendre le flambeau d&rsquo;un d&eacute;bat d&rsquo;id&eacute;es qu&rsquo;elle a lamentablement d&eacute;laiss&eacute; au profit de ses adversaires. Son terrain demeure le social, mais aussi la la&iuml;cit&eacute;. Respectueuse plus que nulle autre de la libert&eacute; religieuse, celle-ci ne confond pas le pouvoir politique avec le pouvoir religieux. Elle permet en revanche de s&rsquo;ouvrir &agrave; d&rsquo;autres croyances, &agrave; condition toutefois que ces m&ecirc;mes croyances ne dictent pas sous couvert de tol&eacute;rance l&rsquo;intol&eacute;rable, la soumission des &ecirc;tres &agrave; la loi de Dieu, de Vishnu ou d&rsquo;Allah.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Comme L&eacute;on Blum l&rsquo;avait nagu&egrave;re fait avec les conditions de Grigori Zinoviev, les universalistes de gauche doivent d&eacute;sormais refuser les conditions pos&eacute;es par une gauche de communautaristes qui, en pleine confusion id&eacute;ologique, est pr&ecirc;te &agrave; pactiser avec de nouvelles formes d&rsquo;obscurantisme que la gauche humaniste et universelle a sans cesse r&eacute;cus&eacute;es. La bataille s&rsquo;annonce difficile et n&rsquo;est pas gagn&eacute;e d&rsquo;avance. Elle m&eacute;rite n&eacute;anmoins d&rsquo;&ecirc;tre men&eacute;e pour la noblesse de la cause, mais plus encore pour un mod&egrave;le de soci&eacute;t&eacute; europ&eacute;en qui a toujours pr&eacute;f&eacute;r&eacute; unir que diviser.</p>]]></description>

Mais ne serait-ce pas l&agrave; un rire jaune qui fr&ocirc;le l&rsquo;absurde et la d&eacute;rision&nbsp;? Quelle place accorder aux m&eacute;tis dans une r&eacute;union de Blancs ou de Noirs&nbsp;? N&rsquo;auraient-ils le droit que de s&rsquo;exprimer &agrave; moiti&eacute; ou que celui de prononcer des principales sans subordonn&eacute;es ou des subordonn&eacute;es sans principales&nbsp;?&nbsp; Faute de mieux, pourquoi ne pas se r&eacute;f&eacute;rer alors &agrave; l&rsquo;humour juif et &agrave; cet &eacute;l&egrave;ve qui, apprenant le talmud, est oblig&eacute; de reconna&icirc;tre que tout homme blanc tombant d&rsquo;une chemin&eacute;e est devenu noir&nbsp;!</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Avec sa &laquo; gueule de m&eacute;t&egrave;que, de juif errant, de p&acirc;tre grec et [ses] cheveux aux quatre vents &raquo;, Georges Moustaki &eacute;tait un excellent chanteur-compositeur. Mais qu&rsquo;il ait &eacute;t&eacute; fran&ccedil;ais, grec ou &eacute;gyptien, tout le monde s&rsquo;en fichait. Tout autant que l&rsquo;on se moquait &eacute;perdument de la couleur de peau d&rsquo;un joueur de football auquel on ne demandait qu&rsquo;&agrave; marquer un but pour son &eacute;quipe pr&eacute;f&eacute;r&eacute;e. Le combat antiraciste &eacute;tait celui pour l&rsquo;&eacute;galit&eacute; entre les hommes. Il &eacute;tait celui qui n&rsquo;admettait pas que l&rsquo;on &laquo; touche &agrave; son pote &raquo;, celui enfin qui refusait toute s&eacute;paration entre les personnes d&rsquo;origines diff&eacute;rentes, entre les races, car les races n&rsquo;existent pas.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Aujourd&rsquo;hui, les th&egrave;ses racistes sont de retour. Pour faire bien, voil&agrave; qu&rsquo;elles se nomment racialis&eacute;es. &Ccedil;a sonne mieux, comme le troisi&egrave;me &acirc;ge pour les vieux ou les non-voyants pour les aveugles&nbsp;! La diff&eacute;rence est s&eacute;mantique, mais pas politique. Le r&eacute;sultat est le m&ecirc;me&nbsp;: le racisme &agrave; l&rsquo;envers reste du racisme. Et quant &agrave; trier les personnes selon la couleur, cela s&rsquo;appelle de l&rsquo;apartheid&nbsp;!</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Mais qu&rsquo;est-il arriv&eacute; &agrave; cette gauche d&rsquo;aujourd&rsquo;hui pour trahir celle d&rsquo;hier&nbsp;? Quitte &agrave; &ecirc;tre l&rsquo;homme du pass&eacute;, il vaut mieux ne pas &ecirc;tre celui du passif. De ce passif qui choie la discrimination, la s&eacute;paration, la concurrence et la rivalit&eacute;. Aux confins de l&rsquo;acceptable, ces racialistes reproduisent les valeurs du n&eacute;olib&eacute;ralisme&nbsp;: celles du chacun pour soi, celles de l&rsquo;affrontement et de la sup&eacute;riorit&eacute; de l&rsquo;un par rapport &agrave; l&rsquo;autre.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">La logique est implacable. N&rsquo;a le droit d&rsquo;&ecirc;tre des n&ocirc;tres que celui qui nous est identique. N&rsquo;a le droit de s&rsquo;exprimer que celui qui parle comme nous. N&rsquo;a le droit de traduire que celui qui est blanc pour les Blancs, noir pour les Noirs et asiatique pour les Asiatiques. Quid de Mozart&nbsp;? N&rsquo;aurait-on le droit de l&rsquo;&eacute;couter que si l&rsquo;on est franc-ma&ccedil;on&nbsp;?&nbsp; Interdiction pour les Blancs d&rsquo;aimer Duke Ellington ou refus absolu de publier L&eacute;opold S&eacute;dar Senghor ou Aim&eacute; C&eacute;saire dans une maison d&rsquo;&eacute;dition dirig&eacute;e par un Blanc ou une Blanche&nbsp;?</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Que dire alors d&rsquo;Albert Camus&nbsp;?&nbsp; Qu&rsquo;il s&rsquo;agit d&rsquo;un auteur colonialiste avec une m&egrave;re ayant exerc&eacute; un m&eacute;tier typiquement colonial, &agrave; savoir femme de m&eacute;nage&nbsp;? Les exemples ne manquent pas et les d&eacute;bris de cette pens&eacute;e ridicule se ramassent &agrave; la pelle. La droite n&rsquo;en attendait pas tant. Elle se frotte les mains, elle qui nagu&egrave;re, et souvent avec raison, fut attaqu&eacute;e pour son racisme. Mais voil&agrave; que celui-ci vient de changer de camp au plus grand dam de celles et ceux qui se sont toujours battus pour l&rsquo;universalisme.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Pain b&eacute;ni pour l&rsquo;extr&ecirc;me droite, cette r&eacute;surgence mal&eacute;fique de l&rsquo;ethnocentrisme la conforte dans sa mainmise id&eacute;ologique. Trop heureuse de profiter d&rsquo;une gauche en d&eacute;sh&eacute;rence, elle combat le racisme antiblanc, reprend &agrave; son compte la lutte antireligieuse, &agrave; condition qu&rsquo;elle ne concerne que les musulmans, et vient en aide aux personnes d&eacute;sign&eacute;es par la vindicte communautariste. Tout y est&nbsp;: alors que la gauche verse dans l&rsquo;exclusion identitaire, ses adversaires politiques s&rsquo;en donnent &agrave; c&oelig;ur joie pour d&eacute;fendre les &laquo;&nbsp;braves gens&nbsp;&raquo;, &laquo;&nbsp;les gens du peuple&nbsp;&raquo; ou autres &laquo;&nbsp;oubli&eacute;s de la soci&eacute;t&eacute;&nbsp;&raquo;. Invraisemblable il y a encore quelques ann&eacute;es, cet incroyable retournement de situation n&rsquo;est pas le fruit du hasard, mais la cons&eacute;quence plus ou moins directe d&rsquo;une contagion intellectuelle venue tout droit des &Eacute;tats-Unis.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(107, 107, 107); font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Alors que la gauche europ&eacute;enne s&rsquo;est toujours oppos&eacute;e au mod&egrave;le am&eacute;ricain, elle &eacute;pouse d&eacute;sormais quelques-unes de ses pratiques s&eacute;gr&eacute;gationnistes. Travers&eacute;e par l&rsquo;une des crises les plus graves de son histoire, elle pense se sauver par une pirouette culturelle dont, t&ocirc;t ou tard, elle sera l&rsquo;une des principales victimes.
