I would like to ask the people reading these lines to help me with a project I’ve had for three years, since they announced the closing of the Renault factories in Billancourt. It would be to record the first and last names of all the women and all the men who spent their entire lives in that national, world-renowned factory. Since the beginning of the century, since the founding of the Renault factories in Boulogne-Billancourt.
It would be an exhaustive list, with no commentary whatsoever.
We should reach a figure the size of a large capital holding. No text could counterbalance the fact of that number, of working for Renault, the total punishment, life.
Why should we do what I’m asking?
To see what that would make in all, a wall full of proletariat.
Here, history would be that number: the truth is that number.
The proletariat in the most obvious innocence, that of the number.
