Federação Anarquista Gaúcha - FAG (CAB) - The SWAT
CURRENT IS CALLED "FISCAL ADJUSTMENT" (pt) [machine translation]
(a-infos-en@ainfos.ca)
Pass what pass upstairs, the adjustment of the knife never fails to cut the flesh of the
workers and popular sectors. The country's recession punishes, as always, the oppressed
classes. Cuts rights, wages and jobs and bring utilities into bankruptcy. Authorizes the
service of market capitalism on the pubic and commons on the wealth created by successive
generations of workers. "Manages" poverty by criminal mechanisms of justice-police-prison.
Creates undesirable subject, which disturbs the security order, punishing speech that
embodies the common sense of the day-to-day and accommodates the trivialization of a
repressive and genocidal war on blacks and poor people, especially the youth. Qualifies
the good and the bad protest.
The fight unleashed on the stage of political power passes away of economic adjustment and
the penal state. In all scenarios we can imagine the dominant system comes to defending
the measures and government practices that push more austerity. Brazilian workers are
already paying with the sacrifice of dreams and hopes of better days to financial and
criminal spree of global capitalism. The ghost of the wretched policies that punish the
Greek people, with mass unemployment, wage squeeze, loss of pensions and other rights is a
pretty cool example.
Recession and adjustment. The social pact was pro drain.
The model that made the rich richer and gave an edge consumption, credit and social
programs to integrate the working class to the market has no more time. Only the
automotive industry has already laid off 39,000 workers in the first half. The building
provides 480,000 jobs cuts during the year. The popular debt grows and squeezes the
budgets of families. Inflation created by rising prices administered by the state
increases the cost of living and erodes wages. Do not stop there. The government of Dilma
and the PT condemned the young workers to move in the rules of the unemployment insurance,
craning his working time to 18 months. The union bureaucracies took down a historical flag
of the labor movement repairing with industry and government to reduce working hours
program with salary reduction, the protection of Porgram Employment (PPE), a rescue plan
of the bosses. In turn, the profit of bankers have historical records at the expense of an
infamous public debt that arrocha investments in health, education, housing, etc.
At the level of states and municipalities the situation is also dire. The fierce ailment
of public debt, tax evasion and tax exemptions of employer gag budget and governments as
in the RS and GO attack functionalism with freezing and installment payment of wages,
cutting social budgets and plans of privatization, concessions and extinction bodies and
public services.
The social pact that promised by the hand of capitalist development a margin of social
improvements that came in the lives of the poorest failed. Him all the triumphalist
narrative of growth that has made imagination of an alleged social prosperity founded on
the dream of consumption, flexible individual and "competitive" to the taste of the
market, the moral compensativa precarious and laborious work, the deprivation of public
spaces and commons for the benefit of speculative interests. When the structures of power
and wealth set the game we all know where the string breaks.
Politics as a management system controls.
From all sides the pressure kneels the PT government and the upstairs charges dearly for
survival. The rejection grows survey research. The right-wing opposition regroups by
Eduardo Cunha alignment with the PSDB, DEM and parties who skip the Bored governismo boat.
They appear legal maneuvers by TCU and the TSE to create a favorable political situation
to push the impeachment or resignation of President Dilma. Seeking to throw water on this
mill, last August 16 once again the "antipetismo" took to the streets to call for liberal
groups, conservative and ultra-reactionary, it seeks to challenge the governismo with the
notice of 20 August.
Operation Lava Jet, among other ways, has reinforced the notion of a court-repressive
solution to the crisis. Judges, prosecutors and federal agents in fallen through the
bourgeois press and the streets. Politicians and senior bureaucrats of the state and the
party on the wall. To a lesser extent, coarse entrepreneurs figuring in the processes.
Undoubtedly win some evidence modus operandi one that makes connections between political
institutions and the corporate business world. But there is in all this a seductive idea,
which is vector pro conservatism, that the cleaning should be done by the same power
devices that relentlessly punishing poverty with grids and extermination.
In all cases, the system always reserves to himself and away from popular participation
mechanisms, the right to cut heads selectively to not deliver the gold. The networks of
corruption, tax evasion and impunity of political, economic and media powers are part of
the structure, currency of bourgeois representation. What interests upstairs is leaving
politics always the privileged domain of the parliament of bourgeois justice and / or
subsidiary bodies. Standardize low, at best, as voters.
Renan Levy and agenda. The order is put away an outlet at the top floor.
The miserly hand and physiologist PMDB, by collusion of the old foxes, safe, who knows for
how long, the governismo on the brink. Everything has its price. The art of governing the
country before everything is stable management of powerful interests. Employers
'organizations FIESP and FIRJAN beyond Bradesco passed the message they want to, of all
plots to get out of political crisis, a scenario that does not touch the fiscal adjustment
and its offensive on workers' rights. The editorial of The Globe and Zero Hora sign
underneath. Bleed the government Rousseff and the PT kneeling to kiss the feet of those
who can most pleases the gentlemen who do not intend to leave the problem to the
unpredictability of the streets.
From this perspective, Agenda Brazil announced last week is a package to the taste of the
ruling classes. Work of a conservative government arrangement, courts and senate, where
shine Renan Calheiros, PMDB and the minister Joaquim Levy shear policy. Consummation of a
ruling turn further to the right, which reads Mass to those images and memories of the
infamous 1990s evoked in the election campaign of 2014. cheap blackmail that recruited
"critical vote" no "lesser evil".
The output from above makes the adjustment schedule and cuts deeper. With outsourcing and
casualization of labor, attack on free and universal system of public health, revenue
diversion to the debt system. The trampling of indigenous territories, maroon, natural
resources and environmental standards for the brutal exploitation of mining, construction
and agribusiness.
To consecrate, pending in the government action by Congress the project of the
Anti-Terrorism Act. Legal and represssivo firming over the rebellions that are not
channeled in the order. Punishment of militants and struggles that create resistance and
escape the bureaucratic state controls.
Ungoverned fight bosses and scabs. Organize resistance from below
The last 05 years emerges a new wave of struggles that mark the way in which progress is
needed to build the oppressed, by his own power, an exit from the attacks of worsening
scenario. Occupations for housing rights, strikes radicalized by the base who turn against
the bureaucratic leaderships, pro-government and employers' unions, youth struggles for
education and public transport quality, combative resistance of indigenous and maroon.
The violent offensive of the employers and governments against the underside requires the
construction of an alternative that is gestated in the workplace, study and living, which
create resistance and accumulate forces to overthrow the upstairs. There is an urgent need
to finally overcome the tragic and irrevocable defeat of a political formation born
directly of the workers and popular organizations led a stubborn strategy to win the
presidency, whatever the cost; that said theoretical and ideological assumptions that
formed the creed of an entire generation of Brazilian left and today landscape form,
including, for radicalized sectors of the bureaucracy that opposes the government of the
PT by the left. Getting to the "power" through elections, simplify this issue by the
management of the state apparatus and give the state the character of a machine that works
the taste of their turn riders, which is not penetrated by social relations of power and
domination, internal mechanisms Playback of oligarchic and bureaucratic dynamics. An
addict design that manifests itself in various ongoing conflicts in methods that make the
fights a mere force of pressure aimed at "persuading" a possible electorate through
speeches, slogans and promotion of charismatic leaders while marginalizing the leadership
and the grassroots organization.
The way out of the situation that has been putting workers is not a way for the election
of new directions but mainly by grassroots organization and popular direct action. Process
that is not uniform, requires patience, firmness, methodical action, basic work, sometimes
silent. From the noise screaming an "alternative" policy that relates to the promotion of
leadership "despotic" looking to raise as intermediaries, guarantors of popular protest.
The ideological ballast bastard petismo is vast and makes still takes preference, for
example, acts with sound of cars or the repeated "meetings" formal where future
presidential candidates can manifest where currents "smell" seek "frame "those who think"
centrist ", make calls and demands to each other, take pictures and return to their homes
to a paddock or lock that lock services, production or circulation in strategic areas,
which occupy public and private spaces. The party's leading role in promoting the figure
of his leader also overlap the collective leadership of the class, in the assessment, the
risks assumed, the victories and defeats.
Overcoming the legacy reformist, social democratic, who left the PT in the left still
requires a lot of commitment, social inclusion and ideological and political struggle
being waged primarily from the ongoing demonstrations. An offensive period of the up and
down of resistance requires, first and foremost, strengthen the organization and the basic
role in every workplace, study and living that are linked, driving the broader class
solidarity with the ongoing struggles so that low-assert themselves as the true
protagonists of the construction of an outlet that bars fit and accumulate forces to build
a new society, socialist and libertarian.
