(en) Brazil, Rusga Libert?ria (MT ? CAB*) - Opinion on the elections in 2014 - SWOOP Libertarian (pt)

[machine translation]

"Without being naive believing that only go to the streets simply, we know that a lack of 
basic organization weakens mobilization processes and facilitate the attempts of control 
by the ruling. Thus, our focus is on the Streets as a privileged space for political 
action, but also the focus on horizontal and grassroots organization that strengthens the 
direct action, with a popular book which decides, directs and executes your program: a 
program of low who does not delegate power to any political on duty. Or they vote with the 
top, or is organized and fight with the low!"(CAB, 2014) ---- Clarify every election "how 
do we vote?" Is something that is part of our historic and everyday construction. For us 
the Libertarian Swoop, the analysis to be drawn from this overview lawsuit aims to put our 
opinion on it, making it clear that the solution to effective change is not in the act of 
voting, to choose representatives in the struggle of the people do not aggregate in 
nothing. Rather, try to weaken the popular project leadership , with the fallacious 
argument that there is no way out but one in which "enlightened" policies give regularly 
elected to the masses.

The 12-year government of the Workers Party, which long ago appeared as a promise 
of change, only served to further strengthen the already established oligarchies. With the 
policy of further strengthening the financing to large capitalists, thus creating jobs, 
fragile and precarious conditions produced by propagating a liar and vile idea that 
millions out of poverty because they can consume. But far from a manufacturing 
perspective, the working class has not changed anything.

We can not but recall the struggles that have been waged in the last period. In 
particular, it is valid to remember the events of June and July 2013, that led millions of 
people to the streets. In the specific case of the State of Mato Grosso, were a milestone 
in relation to the question of spontaneous depoliticised mobilization, but that has never 
been seen in regional history. Furthermore, Cuiab?, one of the venues chosen for the World 
Cup also saw the popular discontent. And, again, saw the population take to the streets 
against the entire amount of money diverted against the empty promises of improvements for 
the poorest, who have not had the chance to be in games. Left for this population only 
threats of eviction and repressions in the suburbs, in order to show how an advanced Mato 
Grosso state and build a different image than that of the Brazilian bourgeoisie, who sees 
it as a land without laws commanded by colonels - Mato Grosso, an isolated place.

A bit of electoral reality in Mato Grosso

In our state, most politicians have links with agribusiness, is having estates or 
being financed by the "owners of the state." This makes the big theme of the discussions 
is that policies will increasingly benefit this sector. In no time the demands of 
indigenous peoples in the urban periphery or perimeter appeared as an agenda. Who thanks 
these reflexes are the landowners, who swallowed small farmers, indigenous lands invaded 
and killed and continue to kill workers who claim a basic right: the (over) live.
The discourse on the working class to basic services such as transport, health, 
security and education, is the same as past elections. Not point to any real change. What 
we see is that this discourse appears more harmful way than the neoliberalism of the past 
governments. What we anarchists Especifistas, analyze be another form of government and 
the bourgeoisie to the neo-developmentism

"All this form of government has been synthesized by our current bulge in the CAB, as the 
neo-developmentism , because it represents a new quest for the development of some sectors 
of the economy as their integration into the international economy through the injection 
of public funds (ie more intervention than in the neoliberal period), however with some 
redesign, because we can not compare these with the development policies of the past, 
after the state comes more as a financier than as a direct agent of development, meaning 
that privatization and public-private partnerships the current time neoliberal remains, at 
best earn another guise. "(CAB, 2014)

In Mato Grosso, we can see the reflection of the above assertions. The last two 
state governments are examples of the Workers' Party helped change the Mato Grosso policy. 
Maggi, current senator (PR) and one of the biggest landowners in the world, is a staunch 
supporter of the re-election of Dilma. Moreover, we must remember that in the last 
elections the PT gave its support to Silval Barbosa (PMDB), owner of more than 70 000 
hectares of land obtained from exclusion mode. The same governor who in a statement about 
the MST, replied "for me the government should sit in the rubber people", thus showing how 
his government would be: founded on the repression and criminalization of social 
movements. Candidates for governor differ nothing authoritarian politicians who recently 
held the position of governor.

Prelude Cabral, a candidate for the Workers Party in his bid for mayor in 2012, had 
the open support of Silval Barbosa. Now, having clear that management Silval was a fiasco, 
especially by scandals involving the works of the Cup, and also by the lack of dialogue 
with the various categories of workers, trying to shift his image on it. Just remember 
that, in the government of Silval there were strikes in various categories. And the 
current governor did not hesitate to treat workers as if they were indicated with the MST, 
with intense repression and persecution. Prelude Cabral and the PT can not disclaim the 
collaboration that gave the arrival of Silval to power. Even more, on your plate, composes 
candidate for vice Tete Bezerra, wife of Carlos Bezerra (PMDB), both charged with felony 
embezzlement. The PT, as it does nationally, strives to power, even for this, make 
alliances with the very worst in representative politics. We realize that the problem is 
structural. The Workers' Party accepted into that game, showing that the opponent does not 
arise in the field but we have to have as enemies.

His adversaries, despite putting different as they are not, just remember that 
Janet Riva (PSD) is one of the candidates for governor. Wife of Joseph Riva, the candidate 
entered the fray as a substitute, missing only 20 days after the end of the election. 
Convicted of embezzlement of the Legislative Assembly, Jos? Riva had its application 
rejected by the "rap sheet" design, as if the other candidates could claim a "clean slate".

As more highly-rated candidate for governor, the name of Senator Pedro Taques (PDT) 
appears. Ex - Public Prosecutor, he later became a senator with a speech to hunt corrupt, 
like the herald of morality. In the ranks who support it, are given names such as Julio 
Campos, who gave his support to Maluf , who was part of the ARENA supporting the military 
dictatorship. Also, has the support of Chico Galindo, former mayor of Cuiab? and most 
responsible for the privatization of SANECAP.

We should not forget the basis of Mauro Mendes, current mayor of the capital and has 
recently had his name enrolled in the scandal involving the purchase of a mining company 
by one of his companies. Silval Barbosa and his allies are responsible for the debt of R $ 
337 million loan to accomplish the requirements imposed by FIFA and will be paid until 2025.

There are also the candidates who put themselves as "fighters" among social 
movements, but in action, are just bureaucrats and engessadores the most radicalized 
struggles by students and workers in a variety of categories. Many union leaders who use 
the union apparatus for conducting the electoral political springboard; the same as in 
recent strikes, set themselves against the wishes category and performed in practice one 
criminalization of those who put more radicalization in the fight; hawking a fake speech 
consistency, when in fact, what they wanted was to make the famous "agreements cabinet." 
Student in the field, is the historical use of alumni and student directories for such a 
leap beyond the opportunistic practices position themselves as the vanguard and creators 
of mobilizations.

The left exit as representative ...

Within the electoral process for the presidency, there is also the "representatives 
of the left". These political groupings themselves as alternatives for achieving social 
change. However, how can we believe that there will be changes via the flawed electoral 
process and branched by a national, ruralista and fundamentalist oligarchy?
It is the reflection that, at present, those who believe in a change via the 
electoral retire struggles base to give impetus in their advertisements. We think that 
such an approach undermines the construction of a popular role, as participation in 
elections is to end the dispute of votes - even if other arguments are used, for example, 
to show an alternative, a counter-propaganda - and these votes are not exclusive of the 
oppressed class, ie, participation in elections reinforces the division of the working 
class rather than strengthen the fight.

Our prospects and our votes ...

Therefore, DO NOT BELIEVE that, in these circumstances, there is possibility of real 
change. We place ourselves in favor of a process based on the role of the low. Do not call 
the null vote clumsy way, limiting ourselves exclusively on it. For us, the organized 
anarchists Especifistas Swoop Libertarian, vote null is part of a coherent strategy for 
construction of People's Power. We understand that our demands do not fit in the polls! 
And claim a construction of strong bonds of struggle, allowing organize ourselves shoulder 
to shoulder in the places where we operate (work, neighborhood, where we study).

"The People's Power is therefore both a goal and a strategy advocated by especifista 
anarchism. He approaches our libertarian ideal of a power project essential to carry out 
the breaks that imply the achievement of our goal finalist and has no relation with 
current conceptions of 'seizure of power' from the institutions of domination, as in the 
case of State, whether revolutionary or reformist "way - Libertarian Socialism Magazine n 
? 01, June 2012.

Our commitment is to strengthen and advance the struggles of the people, shoulder to 
shoulder. Fight for our project to be forged within the class, making the fight emanate 
Popular Power. For this, we believe we will win off the ballots, and direct popular action!

Or they vote with the top up or fight and is organized with the low!

United people is strong people!
