Anarkismo.net: Realize the hopes raised by the struggles,
getting rid of illusions (it, pt) [machine translation]

two facts unprecedented. ---- The first: the issuance of 1 140 billion Euros of
Quantitative Easing (QE) by the European Central Bank (ECB). ---- The second: the victory

classes of Europe.
In fact, this imposing emission of liquidity into the financial markets, by the central
banks of the Member, aims to make up the inflation rate towards the 2% threshold
considered virtuous for the eurozone. Reducing burdens on sovereign debt, should rid
resources for growth; in the hope that the banks to entering, in loans and loans to
businesses and households, revenues from the sale of government bonds, should benefit from
aggregate demand and therefore sales, production, recruitment.
All in a context of generalized wage depression, contraction of workers' rights (see
Reforma Laboral in Spain or Italy in the Jobs Act), induced weakening of the ability of
organizations representing workers in national policies and in the workplace .
But, since the ECB does not gifts, the "bazooka" does not seem so focused on the markets,
as against countries with sovereign debt exposed, like the whole Mediterranean area of the EU.
QE, in fact, only flows towards those countries with "investment grade", that is, with an
assessment of their bonds than "junk bonds", as established by the criminogenic
international rating agencies.
From this point of view, Greece should not use them for the next six months, and Italy is
just above the threshold of "junk bonds."
Furthermore, in the event of bankruptcy / default of a State, the costs would be shared
only 20% among the EU Member States, while the remaining 80% would result in a rescue
operation by the ECB with the program OMT (Outright Monetary Transactions). Which induces
indirectly on spending policies for social and labor increasingly anti-proletarian.
Germany & associates clamoring, but do not ignore the benefits that would have a weak euro
and a recovery in demand in Europe on their exports.
It is no coincidence that from Davos, the Prime Minister of Finland (hawk) and Ireland
(exit at the cost of tears & blood from the aid program in Europe) had launched messages
of availability of changes to the conditions of the infamous "Memorandum" imposed on
Greece, in the light of 'intention of SYRIZA to lighten the burden of debt greek (175% of
GDP).
Beautiful Hello SYRIZA !!
The resistance of the proletariat greek has so far led to the victory of SYRIZA in the
elections for the parliament.
After the decline of the mobilizations against the troika in recent years, SYRIZA is at
the same time is a hope for Greece (and elsewhere) is a dangerous illusion.
Inevitably, the dull pursuit of financial stability and budget on the basis of austerity
policies produced a factor of instability in the EU system, in that country that has for
years been criminalized and punished and finally intimidated by the European institutions
until a few days before the vote.
It would be an illusion to think that the coalition SYRIZA can perform miracles
anticapitalist going to the confrontation with the EU, but in the meantime managed to give
representation to the despair and the Greek resistance and to hold off the right fearsome
Nazi Golden Dawn, already disappeared from the streets thanks to the action of vigilance
and prevention of Greek anarchist community.
We know the limits and sterility of electoral politics and MPs to represent and protect
the interests of the working classes, but we take this step materialistically electoral
greek as a serious contradiction that opens in the eastern flank of the EU as well as a
reference point for aggregations of anticapitalist left in other countries, not
necessarily only for electoral purposes, as in the case of Podemos in Spain.
Build networks and social fronts anticapitalist and libertarian
In Italy, they never had in these seven years of capitalist restructuring or the
conditions for the emergence of movements like that of the Spanish indignados or "occupy",
nor the conditions for the formation of electoral coalitions comparable to birth and
developments in SYRIZA and Podemos.
It would be better to avoid imitations, since in recent years the choice electoralist
proved disastrous for those who now look to Greece as something to emulate.
The social and political realities that today in Italy fighting for the right to housing,
to the rights of refugees and immigrants, to counter the punitive policies of labor
provided by the Jobs Act, to combat racism and neo-fascism in our territories, to stop the
lot of the country through the great works and EXPO in free labor, are the only ones able
to build an alternative project to solidarity and anti-capitalist character.
Therefore only a widespread social conflict and reticular, systematic and constant,
capable of expressing growing radicalism from below, the reappropriation and
self-management of common resources, equity and environmental, cultural and economic, can
act as exogenous element of democratic rupture and libertarian net mark-capitalist, in the
territories and in the country.
We anarchist communists and libertarians the historical task and always relevant to know
how to federate these realities in networks of mutual support, in fronts of struggle that
pursue a project of the communist left and libertarian.
