During the strikes by those employed in the entertainment industry in 2003, I ended up in one of their parties. A technician dressed in black told me « It's very libertairian here, lots of anarchists...  »
- Ah really ?
I have to speak really loud, the music, the noise, bad wine in palstic cups...
-  But I thought you were fighting to keep the low as it is?

He stares at me, blankly.
Then somenone else tells me :"it's a struggling party" ( lutte party)
I answer: "yes, an elite party" (elite party)
Oups. Mistake: the word elite is a swear word for an anarchist it seems.

I try and explain myself: "there are all the technicians and artists to make a feature film here"

Then an older man comes to my rescue: "They are not even capable of getting together with workers for a real cultural revolution."

...and then I left.
