From 14 to 16 November we held the fourth meeting of the Northeast Anarchist
Organizations Especifists. This time we also had the presence of Anarchist Collective
Ademir Fernando ( CAAF ) in Bahia and northern region, the Center Cabana Anarchist
Resistance ( NARC ). The meeting was marked by the celebration of the 5 years of the
Libertarian Resistance Organization ( DSB ) and showed the confluence of the analyzes
performed by 6 organizations present policies regarding the recent period of social
struggles in Brazil and its future appointments. ---- It is worth mentioning our immense
joy and political progress must remember the comrades from the north, who resumed his post
in the fight - because it comes from an earlier generation especifista anarchism. Resumes
work in a rich gathering of generations fraternally associated with the sincere and
militant anarchist spirit cherished principles established in our tradition, as are mutual
support, solidarity and independence of classes, direct action, self-management, among
many others in nurse to continue the struggle for libertarian socialism.
Our internationalism, however, does not make us stop to reflect on the ground we walk on.
Saving appropriate historical differences, the North and Northeast regions hold many
similarities from the origin of Brazilian invasion, which should be exploited to the
fullest both regions without any preconditions. Today we still have to deal with an
archaic structure that maintains high levels of illiteracy and school scrapping, young
victims of firearms, failure and poor access to public health, malnutrition and"
commercialization of drought "in the XXI century, these remarkable traits coronelista and
a provincial heritage. These and other questions amplify the need of thinking beyond the
ceiling without we take the foot off the ground. Images sold by big business and
government of these regions contrast with the reality of the oppressed class that survives
with sweat on his face and thirst for fight. In this scenario, our especifista strategy is
moving forward, because we think the whole without fail to consider the different accents
and peculiarities, which are united in the anti-capitalist struggle to build a strong
people and Socialism Libertarian.
This rich regional and generational meeting enabled us to better understand that " June
was not started in June " : the journeys of popular struggles have come a long time ! We
do not believe in the words so widespread that the giant awoke, because the periphery has
never slept : it must always be alert to continue resisting terrorisms state, incessantly
! Claiming that the people agreed would be a denial of historical battles and countless
daily gifts in Brazil (and all over the world because internationalist!) From north to
south. Are indigenous struggles, maroon, women, dxs obreirxs, dxs desempregadxs, dxs
homeless, landless, between outrxs oprimidxs that mix, meet, suffer and resist every kind
of being the peripheries of centralizing powers.
Even so, the majority tendency of manufactured public opinion lies in forgetting our
ancestor fight against domination. Recent example of this combativeness are invisibly
sectors ( because some are brittle) of native peoples in the north of the country in
confronting the forces of capital that only establish predatory relationships, leading
them to the limit, the collective suicide. The statements of this self-destruction, and
many are growing increasingly anchored, for example, in a logic that neodesenvolvimentista
home with identities emerging countries aspiring "sit at the table" calls superpowers,
feeding back the cycles of global domination. The BRICS ( Brazil, Russia, India, China and
South Africa ) is an expression of these groupings of interests of transnational capital
in their quest for power in order to face the strongest states so far.
There are several actions in support of local and regional scope of this current landscape
of globalized capitalism. The Growth Acceleration Program ( PAC ) is only a small part on
a national scale than in South America is being called the Initiative for Integration of
Regional Infrastructure in South America (IIRSA). This initiative can be considered a new
Alliance for Free Trade of the Americas (FTAA), but much more cunning and efficient, since
it appears as if it were a free process of southern America for their own benefit, using
even the discourse of regional integration with references to notable figures who have
signed this imaginary martyrs of the struggle against colonialism and for independence.
Several are being built for facilitating the flow of raw materials in our subservient
extractive capitalism and importer of products routes. The mega events fall into this
productive economic chain collaborating politically to that manages a number of social
pressures in urban space, materializing the policies of social hygiene and
gentrifica??odas cities. Who is located in the vicinity of power is thrown further into
corner, empurradxs increasingly to the territorial margins hegemonized injustice of this
world!
In fields and cities, the predatory forces of capital expands. The Belo Monte (on the
Xingu River, in the municipality of Altamira Par? basin) is an emblematic case in our
reading this, because it is an expression of these mega-enterprises fueled by
neo-developmentism ignores respect for nature and the ways of life of indigenous peoples,
riverine, shifting cultivators and farmers in general.
Since the demonstrations began in June 2013, very mediatized, gave greater visibility to
various issues and existing social contradictions, as well as numerous political demands.
Amid the FIFA Confederations Cup in "football country", an unexpected social stemmed
Boiling who took to the streets crowds of people, breaking with a reflux period of great
movements in the urban environment. However, the tide of uprisings should be analyzed in
depth in relation to its political content in order not stayed at the mercy of transitory
movements. We must learn more and develop better social forces in view of ending the
domination systems.
The demonstration model sold by "public opinion " was the broad civic march, the silent
partnership in march for abstract freedom, at the expense of living social agendas,
although in many cities have been given the spark from specific problems such as Free Pass
and the World Cup. Evidenced remained pacifist speech "not vandalism," the timid presence
of trade union organizations and social movements from below, the intensification of
police, media and judicial repression, watered by a strong feverish nationalism that hung
in the air. We need more sharpness in the analysis and hardness in acting to overturn the
game ! Given the widespread repression and all manner of persecution suffered by fighting
people, it was inevitable also wear the image of state and governments, both locally and
internationally, at a time when Brazil launches campaign for strong abroad as panorama a
large developing country, hosting many world events, like the World Cup and the Olympics.
In the course of struggles, we become more convencidxs that the way we fight will always
be put to the test, because the historical process relentlessly judge the legitimacy of
our presence, shoulder to shoulder with the class. The rejection of the political parties
is an example : is the result of the lack of reference to these same organizations built.
We anarchists can not be responsabilizadxs for it. This requires understanding the
essential and profound self-criticism. However, we atacadxs several authoritarian forces
of right and left, in their inability to even give answers and make functional in the
process. Not entered in these quarrels. What we need is that our analysis can alert you to
understand the different roles and possible tactics of struggle, and to identify social
alliances and tools that increase the forces for the construction of Popular Power. It is
necessary a lot of humility, cohesion, courage and willingness to learn the fight. Thus
the class shakes the dominating power!
In this regard, we emphasize the importance of always thinking / acting with a view to the
short, medium and long term. Here lies the debate about the Black Bloc tactic that has
been mistakenly understood as a group, movement, etc.. It is a tool of struggle, it has
limitations, but that should be at the service of popular resistance to the repressive
state forces triggered when we break the mind control and do the crowds in the streets. Do
not forget that the police and military apparatus of a status quo founded on the cunning
logic of monopoly of "legitimate" violence by the state in " defense of society ", but who
act against this same.
The 2014 shows up with strong indications that situation will get more radicalized since
the World Cup will take place, will be an election year, there will be meeting of BRICS in
Fortaleza to create your database, among other factors. For this scenario, we try to
anticipate in order to ensure good way around the immediate gains in political struggles
for the prospect of Popular Power achievements.
We must be atentxs other forms of action and organization, but not forgetting our
historical experiences, lest we fall into the trap of always start from scratch, trying to
"reinvent the wheel". We can not avoid to say, what appears as a novelty now (direct
action, self-management, federalism, etc..) Is historical heritage nossxs companheirxs who
gave their lives in the struggle for a world without domination and that their voices were
muffled, invisibilizadxs its history. And today these images come to the fore in a period
of high wear this fake democracy which is nothing more than a historical update of the
organization 's domineering violence.
Prepare more and better than in 2014, it will be a year full of common situations this
context we present ! The mechanisms of control and repression are quite calibrated so that
the people do not disturb the flow of neoliberal business. The anti-terror legislation
also makes symbolic in this sense, since it consists of a step in the criminalization of
social struggles. Our fighting force must be greater than necessary to give lessons to the
elites! We need more organization to win and set us in motion for a world without domination!
We can not retreat!
Strengthen popular resistance to hold a good fight!
Along the / those who struggle!
Fighting, Create, People Power!
Long life to anarchism from the North / Northeast!
