To all of our friends who are attending EuroMayDay 2008
This is a solidarity letter from far across the Eurasian continent, in the far east, Japan.
The globalisation of neo-liberalism has been on a rampage here in Japan as well. It promotes and applauds severe competition between people and is ripping the society into pieces. Through the deflation of the Japanese economy in the 1990’s, management gain and corporate dividends have drastically increased. On the other hand, the Japanese government, with its call for the efficiency of administrative services and maintenance of corporate global competitiveness, has been accelerating the reduction of social security benefits and the form of irregular employment.
As a result, half of the young generation and women in Japan face irregular employment. With people getting hired everyday and dismissed everyday, living under unstable conditions without unemployment benefit, worker’s compensation, or medical insurance, ten million people are now not even able to gain the minimum income which is deemed necessary for survival. Furthermore, the Japanese government, which looks upon immigrants as criminals, has delegitimized the act of working by those who do not hold a Japanese nationality. While the Japanese government tolerates the incitement of racial exclusion by the right wing, they are forcing slave labor towards immigrant workers from mainland Asia slyly through internship programs.
Neo-liberalism promotes the internalization of the management minds, and is attempting to conceal the crisis by stripping the very lives of people. However, their conspiracy will certainly fail. The breeding of the precariat is forwarding the liaison with the breeding of people who will never synchronize with a flow that forces to give up one’s freedom and life.
In 2008, a number of 13 May Day actions that bravely resist neo-liberalism will take place throughout Japan. Preparations for the anti-G8 protests are also taking place. No longer can the light of resistance that has been lit be turned off.
This movement of the precariat, which accounts for the vast majority of the world, resisting isolation and seeking autonomy within solidarity, has already risen here in Tokyo as well.
Aachen is with Tokyo, and Tokyo is with Aachen. Celebrating the success of EuroMayDay, in solidarity.
Freeter’s Union, Tokyo MayDay 08 For Freedom and Lives, organisation committee
