We saw that even in some opposition movements and supposedly anti-system collectives , there were people who were persuaded by speeches and methods as those presented in Venezuela , Peru , Ecuador and Bolivia . Many others that , not considering or projecting themselves in an anti-authoritarian perspective , make errors like this from a lack of knowledge of the conjunctural reality and based only on talk , publications or media of an other type .
This is where the domination shows its boldest face , the good cop versus bad cop : but the end is the same and we should not be guided by these camouflaged matters trying to put a nice colour to domination . Knowing our enemies is a big step . To differentiate , focus and combat them are things we learn from practice and experience , often running the risks of being repressed and incarcerated , but in which we also always count on the strength of anarchic solidarity .
[…] We live in a capitalist regime
The capitalist model in which we live is developing projects of a developmental and progressive kind , to the benefit of the bourgeoisie and multinationals . Through mega-projects , including IIRSA that creates in South America the infrastructure for fast and cheap transport of products from Capital , by building land , river and rail roads . Within this is the road that mutilates , the TIPNIS , as part of a project that wants to connect Brazil with the Pacific ports of Peru and Chile going through Bolivia to export soy beans and bio-fuels and giving these other countries an outlet to the Atlantic Ocean to export their products . There are several multinational interests to exploit timber , oil , etc . and local interests to expand coca crops , farm animals such as alligators , birds , etc .
There are several other projects involving the construction of bi-oceanic corridors in South America , the struggle against the offensive of capital is not exclusive , it is a shared fight with other people who do not want to live like us enslaved in cities . The creation of hydroelectric complexes , petroleum platforms , the exploitation of iron in the Mutún Mountain in Santa Cruz , the satellite “ Tupac Katari ” to control us and watch us , the proposed nuclear power plant , the Dakar Rally , the production of lithium in the salt flat of Salar de Uyuni , GM production in the Oriente region , etc . are projects of Capital that sentence to death millions of non-human and human animals , that condemn dozens of ancestral people to migrate to towns and cities and thus to disappear .
Exploitation is synonymous with capitalism , “ Green Capitalism ”, “ durability or sustainability ”, “ Communitarian Social Productive Model ” or “ Buen Vivir ”, these last two clichés are widely used by local Power . But even as Evo Morales is the president of this territory , repression has not stopped , but on the contrary , has increased in recent years . He is an other proponent of Capital and the bourgeoisie . There is no change as far as power is in the hands of the left or of an “ indigenous ”, they are still spending fortunes running into millions in implementing security systems for the arrival of Pope . While poverty and misery continues to ravage the lower strata of society , while the exploitation of the land is increasing every day .
We live in a state where financial capitalism is an ally of the state , with landowners and farmers taking over territories with environmental approvals and legal security provided by the state . Thousands of thousands of hectares of forest are destroyed every year , augmented with the erosion caused by coca crops , soy beans and transgenic corn in the lowlands , valleys and the east . As well in the west pollution of rivers by mining , air pollution by slash-and-burn , cement and other factories , adding the contamination of Lake Titicaca . The struggle for the Total Liberation includes various aspects such as the Liberation of Earth , Human and Animal . It is not an exclusive struggle for the human species or the cities , the great wealth of this struggle is in the multiformal , horizontality , self-organization and the passage of resistance to the offensive .
