(en) Brazil, Anarchist Federation Gaucha FAG-CAB - Against
the bourgeois political trickery and the crunch of workers' lives (pt)
[machine translation]
The malaise runs in the country's streets. The economic recession and the bitter
government measures Dilma / PT at the federal level and Sartori / PMDB at the state level
they seek to save the profits of bankers and businessmen, cutting rights, investments and
increasing the cost of living under the fake argument that the time is of "sacrifice for
all." Added to all this, the rotten smell of impregnated systemic corruption in the air,
in which articulates a complex constellation of interests and "scandals" involving parties
from the ruling coalition as those of the right-wing opposition, corporations and bankers
and big communication conglomerates. ---- Operation Lava Jet Federal Police brought to the
surface a billionaire scheme of looting and plundering the resources of Petrobras, a
cheater "give and take", operated by politicians and businessmen to finance election
campaigns and favor private business. However, not only of "Lava Jet" and "Petrolão" feeds
this structural device in Brazilian politics, corruption. Recently, the so-called
"scandal" HSBC has revealed a complex international network and money laundering tax
evasion in tax havens in Switzerland, administered by the bank. Among Brazilians involved
found the major media conglomerates, such as network globe, pioneers, the green group and
April. Hence, this case is not splurge reason newscasts blackmailers of premium.
After winning the elections by a thread, the Dilma government dismantles the marketing
tactic by the left (not to lose disillusioned voters) and draws the frames of the
financial system, the employer and agribusiness to sharpen the knife of fiscal adjustment
and tarifaço against the people.
Expensive and precarious life. Squeeze on workers.
The promise of Brazilian capitalism, which had been growing by the hand of a violent
expropriation of the commons, the domination of capital agribusiness, mining and
contractors, breaks the face with the price drop of "commodity" and the slowdown of
Chinese capitalism. The triumphalist ideas of a country of middle class, driven by
consumption and debt masses, the precarious jobs and the inclusion of the poor as flexible
market subject, show your weakness and has come into disenchantment in large sections of
the country's workers.
The working class lives again layoffs in industry and construction. Only in the auto parts
industry the employer fold more blackmail, requiring endless tax incentives and flexible
rights, threatening otherwise to 30,000 layoffs throughout the year. The lack of water and
light creates calamity on the urban fringe and the price of energy bills, food and
services increase more than the income of workers. The change in unemployment insurance
and access to social security benefits rules cut rights and above all puts a young working
class and located in precarious jobs (outsourcing, telemarketing, construction) in a
situation of greater vulnerability and risk. Now, the leeches employers can fire and
rehire today tomorrow to get rid of the burden and thus further fatten their profits.
Taxes punish the consumption of popular and middle classes, while relieving the rich,
business owners and large fortunes. However health and public education follow scrapped,
public transport is poor, justice criminalizes poverty and the police are racist and
deadly in villages, slums and suburbs.
The precarious, the mass of Brazilian workers, elevations as a model of flexible working
arrangements and super-explorer, subject to a routine of heavy sacrifices, give tired and
irritation signs. The employer, not satisfied with the numerous incentives coming from
governments, wants more precarious work and press the government for outsourcing law.
Dissatisfaction grows everywhere and reaches overflow beyond the old structures, norms and
rules that the system provides to your plumbing. Dissatisfaction represented by a
pervasive sense that, among other things, expressed rebellion from below.
They are all members of the bourgeois-petty political trickery.
Lava jet made no extraordinary discovery. She returns to highlight one nonpartisan way of
governing that does not touch the privileges of the oligarchy, in the power of economic
and financial groups and the ideological system of institutional practices. It is systemic
corruption. As we have said again, who rules with the system, the system is governed.
The parties, politicians, bureaucracies, contractors, banks and corporate lobbyists are
all partners in corruption and impunity. One hand washes the other and everyone has their
time. Who will not stand not govern.
In bourgeois liberal conception, the representation has always been a legitimizing
mechanism of usurpation of collective forces and the commons by the will of minorities.
Why to defend Petrobras and public property the struggle of the workers and the people
should overcome the bureaucratic state control. It has to be a struggle to advance the
direct management of public assets by the hand of the workers and popular organizations.
What pale face right?
The complicating factor in this scandal is that the PT, the 2005 monthly allowance plus
the trambique with contractors at Petrobras, sinks of time in the common grave of
bourgeois politics. And it's not the left that degenerates, as the monopolist wants to
spend discourse of the mainstream media, but one o'clock PT tamed by conservative power of
institutions and farming among its allies, officials and career politicians, a heritage
formed by the values, techniques, the speeches and the ideological and cultural background
of the right of those who take the side of the injustices and inequalities of the
bourgeois order.
The governismo living the worst day in your party Career order. While the PT evolves
toward the center and right, governs between trips and eating in the hands of oligarchs.
Have the other right-sector parties as the PSDB and DEM listed as opposition, not to miss
the train, regroup and make noise allied with the most conservative positions and
ultra-reactionary.
The monopoly groups that control the mass media, despite being favored by advertising
dollars, tax exemptions by the government and a blind eye for their various tax
sonegações, thicken the broth of opportunism. On the one hand push the "truths" of the
right, disguised as an economic discourse "technical" and supposedly objective defending
the fatality of fiscal adjustment and on the other, surfing on corruption discourse to
break the morale of the whole class left through the window of the PT .
The antipetismo manifested massively in the streets across the country on 15 March, as
long did not, was called by right groups, parties and liberal-conservative formations,
large media and their "intellectual" fundamentalist evangelical sectors and the
ultra-reactionary fusillade of the coup of 64 nostalgic In turn, this notice was also able
to sensitize a significant part of workers, righteously indignant with endless cases of
corruption, the grueling life in big cities and the increase in the cost of lifetime.
Today these sectors right now rehearse a qualifying competition for the direction of
popular discontent.
It must be said, in no uncertain terms, which were encouraged by the capitulation of
successive PT governments, kneeling to loan sharks of the financial system, sit on the lap
of the old foxes of the oligarchy led by the PMDB and get stuck in the Plateau business
desk, Congress and state.
Another ideology, other practices to build a strong people.
The policy does not advance in the balance of power against the dominant power leaves land
to be occupied. The historic design of the front center-left led by PT, once it reaches
its goal of becoming president of the republic, left planted disorientation that is not
easy to measure. The advance of the right in the governing coalition and the opposition of
the streets, as well as the confused sense of popular sectors between crossfire us today
give a sample of the political-ideological ballast that trajectory.
The experience of the PT in the pursuit and achievement of government, integrating the
institutions and rules of the game, brought a major change in culture and values of the
left. Those hopes and dreams that were mobilized and produced a subject of exchange that
fought on all fronts of the people to transform the country and build socialism, were
fading. Many militants of the ground work turned the upstarts cabinet, appliance rats. If
anything, the stubborn were simply ignored and replaced by technical management or
bureaucratic officials of the machine. Trade unions and social movements exchanged the
independence of the working class by roles and ministries, became managers of pension
funds, business advisors and government guide lines. A process that began with the
conquest of the presidency, finding roots still in the 1980s.
This subjectivity very attached to dispute positions and directions of the appliance and
put the party before the class struggles, also made school between the left was not the
trailer.
The power relations that are at this juncture the support of ideas and the right movements
have there, largely with this historic process of dismantling of social forces that bitter
the class field. The collaboration of classes, the bureaucracy and the governismo disarmed
the union and popular organizations, shared struggles and hitched to the state. Formed an
ideology that plays the practices of bourgeois institutions, which is a subject of the
people waiting for what comes from above.
We changed everything or do not change anything.
Not form part of the current impeachment nor the ranks of government shock troops. This
polarization that seeks to capture the rebellion from below, define and qualify the social
struggle according to their ideas, is the scene of the fight between elites and ruling
classes, a fight between private condo neighbors, where the low it is, at best the role of
sympathetic extras.
You must have clarity in analysis and firmness in our class-principles not to get in the
chute than the top try to impose on us, where both the ruling gang as the bunch of
right-wing opposition try to insinuate that we are doing the line auxiliary role of his "
rival ". Our path has no outlet above and seeks to group social forces to cross without
sagging resistance and fragmentation step. States with the class-sectors and social
movements from below, against tarifaço, fiscal adjustment and step abused the rights.
Without trust in the "magic" of the summit agreements, whatever the merits. Grow along
with social unrest the rebellion of the people, direct action, solidarity, popular
participation. Reorganize the social fabric to fight in the streets, strikes and
occupations, developing grassroots organizations as the strong core of people's power.
From the bottom up, with federalism and grassroots democracy, create the front muscles of
the oppressed able to build a real change Socialize wealth and power.
AGAINST THE RICH AND CHEAT The crunch GOVERNMENT AND BOSSES!
ORGANIZE A REBELLION OF STREETS, STRIKES AND OCCUPATIONS!
