Syndicate: lurking in the minds of individuals |
Syndicalists..... A humble attempt to emerge from the Syndicate shadow.... A public notification of my gratitude to those that made the N5M possible.... Writing to the list feels to me a lot like speaking in public which I really don´t like doing...but I promised to make an effort...so here goes... The ad-hoc syndicate meeting at the N5M turned out to be a constructive although slow-moving one. In fact someone mentioned that it was one of the most interesting debates that heard in ages. Not that there were any conclusions reached....one thing is for sure being included in NATO is not the sign of a border shift between east and west, which was implied in jest...maybe as far as international foreign policy and military intervention is concerned...borders...interestingly enough I find the "no border" campaign a little in contradiction to the "anti-multinational campaign". I´m not brave enough to make overt statements about the repercussions of a rally for borderless-ness but that utopian statement can be misinterpreted as freedom not merely for refugees and immigrants but for those same multi-nationals whose activity we are so adamant about protesting. I´d be curious to see a list of how many policies have been made to benefit trade and commerce between the CZ and the EU in order to ensure there entrance ticket to the EU. How many companies in the EU now own the smaller factories and control the employees payrolls? Borderlessness isn´t what I want to see...I want to see better immigration policies and support systems for refugees. Who´s party at the border is it anyway. Jennifer p.s. victory. the proposed law to ensure inheritance and social security rights to same-sex partners in the Czech Republic was accepted this past week!
