Donc on avait des positions claires contre les politiques néolibérales, mais toujours en disant que le problème de fond c’est le capitalisme… c’est un système qui ne peut pas être humanisé, c’est dans son essence même, dans son fonctionnement même, que ça génère des injustices sociales. » La prise de position claire et explicite de la clac contre le capitalisme met « définitivement l’anticapitalisme sur la map [carte] pour beaucoup de monde ». Suite à la chute du bloc de l’Est et des mouvements communistes, et avant la grande crise financière de 2008, la perspective anticapitaliste était marginale, car sont-elles différentes ?
Les Amériques LA CLAC : PARCOURS D’UN RÉSEAU ANTICAPITALISTE – 51 de la clac, pour les militantes et militants qui y ont participé avec enthousiasme. Comme l’explique cette ancienne membre, « les moyens sont aussi importants que l’objectif… vouloir une justice sociale, mais en employant des modes de fonctionnement qui sont hiérarchiques ou opprimants, ça [ne] marche pas ». Ainsi, en pratiquant un mode de fonctionnement horizontal et malgré des critiques quant aux résultats obtenus, la clac témoigne d’un effort certain pour mettre en pratique l’auto-organisation et l’autodétermination, deux principes clés de ce que l’on peut nommer l’anarchisme contemporain15.
Par cette ouverture, la clac veut encourager la participation des différents milieux. Cet objectif est atteint à plusieurs égards, puisque s’y rencontrent des activistes anglophones et francophones, mais aussi des très jeunes et d’autres ayant de longues années d’expérience militante. Les décisions prises lors de ces assemblées sont mises en œuvre par les divers comités ou groupes de lutte, qui s’occupent chacun des divers aspects logistiques de l’organisation des événements ou du suivi administratif.
