The Argentine Government Resigns in Block After the New Social Outbreak

by La Haine [Machine Translation] Tuesday, Jan. 01, 2002 at 11:47 AM

A second government in a term of ten days falls. The social outbreak reflects a mobilization capacity that seemed forgotten in Argentina, in a social outbreak carried out by very diverse sectors of the society, without a defined leadership, something that is disturbing to power.

Some timely wisdom from our great matriarch

by spaz drone Tuesday, Jan. 01, 2002 at 5:08 PM

Below is a timely exerpt from Emma Goldman's wonderfully written autobiography 'Living My Life.' She was speaking to a crowd in New York after economic conditions failed the people a century ago:

The atmosphere in the ranks had become very tense, owning to the events of that week. Labour politicians had appealed to the New York legislature for relief of the great distress, but their pleas met with evasions. Meanwhile the unemployed went on starving. The people were outraged by this callous indifference to the suffering of men, women, and children. As a result the air at Union Square was charged with bitterness and indignation, its spirit quickly communicating itself to me, I was schedualed as the last speaker and I could barely endure the long wait. Finally the apologetic oratory was over and my turn came. I heard my name shouted from a thousand throats as I stepped forward. I saw a dense mass before me, their pale, pinched faces upturned to me. My heart beat, my temples throbbed, and my knees shook.
"Men and women," I began amidst sudden silence, "do you not realize that the State is the worst enemy you have? It is a machine that crushes you in order to sustain the ruling class, your masters. Like naive children you put your trust in your political leaders. You make it possible for them to creep into your confidence, only to have them betray you to the first bidder. But even where there is no direct betrayal, the labour politicians make common cause with your enemies to keep you in leash, to prevent your direct action. The State is the pillar of capitalism, and it is ridiculous to expect any redress from it. Do you not see the stupidity of asking relief from Albany with immense wealth within a stone's throw from here? Fifth Avenue is laid in gold, every mansion is a citadel of money and power. Yet there you stand, a giant, starved and fettered, shorn of his strength. Cardinal Manning long ago proclaimed that 'neccessity knows law'and that 'the starving man has a right to a share of his neighbour's law 'and that 'the starving man has a right to a share of his neighbor's bread.' Cardinal Manning was an ecclesiastic steeped in the traditions of the Church, which has always been on the side of the rich against the poor. But he had some humanity, and he knew that hunger is a compelling force. You, too, will have to learn that you have a right to share your neighbour's bread. Your neighbours-they have not only stolen your bread, but they are sapping your blood. They will go on robbing you, your children, and your children's children, unless you wake up, unless you become daring enough to demand your rights. Well, then, demonstrate before the palaces of the rich; demand work. If they do not give you work, demand bread. If they deny you both, take bread. It is your sacred right!"
"Uproarious applause, wild and deafening, broke from the stillness like a sudden storm. The sea of hands eagerly stretching out towards me seemed like the wings of white birds fluttering.

The people united shall never be defeated!

by Karl Marx Tuesday, Jan. 01, 2002 at 6:19 PM

Yep popular revolution is taking part in Argentina and should be taking place every where else too. Let's stand up against the fascists and terrorists scumbags like Bush, Bin Laden and co. We have enough of their bullshit, they are using the people like pawns in a chess game. We the people shall prevail at the end !!! United we will always have the last word. Argentina is a good example. Let's spread the word and truth worldwide !

Karl, look closer

by asshole Thursday, Jan. 03, 2002 at 10:28 AM

It's not the proletariat overthrowing the forces of modernity over there. It's the widespread failure of government economic policy that's thrown the nation into a tailspin.

The conflict is between the lender nations and the debtor nation governments.

Yes, there are cries of revolution, but I think it's the system that failed first, precipitating chaos. It wasn't people creating chaos in order to take power. Were it so, there'd already be someone destroying the capital building as a symbolic gesture of revolution, and new leaders emerging to fill the power gap.
