C9M: Committee of May 9
(any translation errors solely the fault of the Green Star)
May 7, 1994, during a demonstration against U.S. imperialism organized by the GUD and JNR, one of our comrades died. Sebastian Deyzieu was 22 years old. Pursued by the boss’s mercenary police , he fell from the fifth floor of a building. Since then we honor his memory each year (the first Committee dated May 9, so the title remains).
When we embraced our way, we all were told to expect to eventually die for our ideas. This is the rule, the destiny, the contract of the militant. But this rule does not diminish the loss of a comrade, a young man who stood for what is right without fear. For Sebastian was not scum, not a beater of old women, or worse like the numbers of “troubled youth” who we see crying to the media. He was not a junkie or a parasitic bourgeoisie, as are most of the so called “anti-fascists” who try to sully his memory each year as we gather to honor him.
Of course, for us to have to celebrate every death, every comrade killed in action, the list would be far too long. This is why the symbol of all our fallen is Sebastian. He was young and had a full life before him. But the police system, the bosses attack dog, does not take precautions when it comes to suppressing nationalists. He was stalked and murdered by the impostors who stole the republic. The republic, meant to serve the people, transformed into an instrument of repression.
Lest we forget. Our ideal is one of honor, heritage, respect for our comrades and our flag. Sebastian indeed died defending a flag, our flag, a flag that the Police do not be deserve to even look upon.
Over the years C9M as a event has become more unified, encompassing more than 1000 national revolutionary activists, despite police harassment and the “antifa” protests, those ridiculous guard dogs of globalization.
So, like every year, many come, and share this moment of brotherhood. The death of one of us should not discourage us, but strengthen our solidarity, our determination, our consciousness. We are right, and we are free.
To the memory of Sebastian!
Against globalism
Against imperialism
For the People
