[syndicate] A complaint to Finkielkraut

[Aliette Guibert]

I do not compare Finkielkraut to a Nazi site! In my post of any months ago I
explained on nettime about the Nazi site how calling repression even against
a Nazi site it opened the opportunity of a general repression against us
all!

I have sent to nettime-fr the same info as here of the MRAP complain, but
writing that it is an info (not my own judgment), because Geert Lovink has
resent an ascii version of Finlielkraut interview to nettime-l, and later
Nathalie Magnan has posted un long email on the riots but beginning on the
question of Finkielkraut to tell the same than we think here.

For another part MRAP was never really cool in its tradition... you
know -but the law was not their major action as they were at first
activists?

I think this legal call against the right of express oneself proves only
their
(the mrap) lack of arguments, while there are many ones that can be made
against his discourse, as the archives of this group can prove it. and to
compare Finkielkrault interview with a nazi website doesn´t appear as a good
comparison to me. Finkielkrault - and god(?) knows i dont agree with him in
some parts of his discourse - remains a philosopher, within the paradigm of
modern thought. he does have the right to be wrong, he does have the right
to
write bad philosophy, after all, if there are such absolute things like
right
and wrong and good and bad. even if one wants to qualify him as a radical,
one
cannot help but see that he remains within the fields of a democratic
debate.
to make a complain against him is to stand in the field of republican
integrism, close, very close indeed, to those who want to forbid the wearing
of
religious insigns. the so-called "anti-racist" french movements prove once
again
that they are only a bunch of intolerant republican dumbs.

cyrill.
