Sometimes, all it takes is a single moment — a glance, a line of Neruda, a napkin prophecy — for someone to etch themselves into your soul forever.
In this poem, fleeting strangers become eternal companions in the mind’s subway.

And today the struggle of the working class must continue because, despite having achieved rights and improvements since that distant 1886 in Chicago, it is also true that many rights remain to be won and recovered, those that are being taken away from us.
Capitalism, in its greed for profit, never ceases to make people’s living conditions increasingly precarious.
With crises, the number of rich people increases, but at the same time, the number of poor people increases. And day by day, we see how the purchasing power of wages decreases; rents and housing prices increase, preventing young people from accessing housing and keeping those who can afford it tied to banks for 20 or 30 years.
We workers see how the State is privatizing public services like healthcare, which for years has not been given the necessary resources; Public education resources are being cut while military spending, which is the business of death, increases outrageously.
The purchasing power of pensions is increasingly reduced, which is terrible because these pensions often serve to alleviate the lack of resources of unemployed children and grandchildren.
Unions that receive state funds, by participating in the game of union elections, to maintain social peace and take their share of the pie, sign agreements with wage increases that are below the real cost of living.
The cost of living has risen by 12% on average, the price of basic necessities has increased by 30% to 40%, and the agreements are being signed with increases of 2.5% to 4%.
All this while calling off widely supported strikes that demanded increases in line with the rising cost of living.
From the National Confederation of Labor, affiliated with the International Workers’ Association (CNT-AIT), we address you, the working class, to tell you that we offer you a tool of struggle, like our Union, to recover the pride and dignity that we have allowed to be taken away from us for years.
For years, capitalism has divided the working class in two: one the middle class and the other the working class. In reality, all of us who depend on a salary are working class, susceptible to losing our jobs whenever the employer sees fit.
The CNT-AIT wants to tell you that when workers became self-aware and organized in the National Confederation of Labor, the employers of this country became aware of the strength of the working class and began to respect them.
ORGANIZE IN THE CNT-AIT AND TOGETHER
LET’S FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS
AND THE DIGNITY OF WORKERS.
Cultura i memòria històrica Libro: Anarquistas y orden público. Josep Asens y las patrullas de control. Social Manifestació Antifeixista 23 de maig Laboral PROU D’EXPLOTACIÓ, ABUSOS I REPRESSIÓ SINDICAL A LA TORRE I EL TEMPLE DEL SOL
El 1º de Mayo es un día de lucha obrera en todo el mundo, un día que se instituyó después del asesinato de 5 obreros anarquistas en Chicago en 1886 estando los obreros de la fábrica McCormick en huelga por la consecución de la jornada de ocho horas.
Y hoy la lucha de la clase trabajadora debe seguir adelante porque a pesar de haber conseguido derechos y mejoras desde aquel lejano 1886 de Chicago, también es cierto que quedan muchos derechos por conquistar y recuperar, los que nos están quitando.
Y es que el Capitalismo no cesa, en su voracidad por acumular beneficios, de hacer que las condiciones de vida de las personas sean cada vez más precarias.
Con las crisis aumenta el número de ricos, pero, a la vez, se incrementa el número de pobres. Y día a día vemos como el poder adquisitivo de los salarios es más bajo; se incrementan los alquileres y el precio de la vivienda, impidiendo el acceso a la misma a los más jóvenes, y manteniendo al que puede comprarla atado a los bancos durante 20 o 30 años.
Los trabajadores vemos como, desde el Estado, se están privatizando servicios públicos como la Sanidad, a la que desde hace años no se le dan los recursos que se necesitan; se recortan los recursos para la enseñanza publica mientras aumentan escandalosamente los gastos militares, que es el negocio de la muerte.
El poder adquisitivo de las pensiones cada vez es más reducido, lo cual es terrible porque muchas veces esas pensiones sirven para paliar la falta de recursos de lxs hijxs y nietxs que están desempleadxs.
Los Sindicatos que cobran del Estado, por participar en el juego de las Elecciones Sindicales, para mantener la paz social y llevarse su parte del pastel, firman convenios con aumentos salariales que están por debajo del coste real de la vida, el mismo ha subido un 12 % de media, el aumento de los productos de primera necesidad del 30 al 40 % y los convenios los están firmado con aumentos del 2’5 al 4 %. Todo esto desconvocando huelgas con amplio apoyo que revindicaban subidas acorde con el aumento del coste de la vida.
Desde la Confederación Nacional del Trabajo, adherida a la Asociación Internacional de los Trabajadores (CNT-AIT), nos dirigimos a ti, clase trabajadora, para decirte que ponemos a tu disposición una herramienta de lucha como nuestro Sindicato para recuperar el orgullo y la dignidad que durante años hemos dejado que nos arrebaten.
Desde hace años el Capitalismo ha dividido a la clase trabajadora en dos: una la clase media y la otra clase trabajadora. En realidad, todxs los que dependemos de un salario somos clase trabajadora, susceptibles de perder el empleo cuando al empleador le parezca.
La CNT-AIT queremos decirte que realmente cuando lxs obrerxs tomaron conciencia de sí mismxs y se organizaron en la Confederación Nacional del Trabajo los patronos de este país tomaron conciencia de la fuerza de la clase trabajadora y empezaron a respetarlxs.
ORGANÍZATE EN LA CNT-AIT Y JUNTXS

But the modern era begins with the 1973 coup that installed Augusto Pinochet as dictator. Years of neoliberal reforms produced a disillusioned and disorganized working class. InterRebellium traces the roots of the 2019 uprising to the student movements of the 2000s and feminist movements of the mid 2010s, as well as through Indigenous resistance throughout the history of colonial domination.
The movement also took cues and tactics from revolts happening concurrently in Hong Kong and Ecuador.
For months, thousands of people fought pitched street battles with the cops and military, organized networks of support for the front line militants, created horizontally organized neighborhood assemblies, participated in general strikes and conducted acts of arson and sabotage against symbols of power and multinational corporations.
The Estallido was ultimately contained through a combination of brutal state repression, promises of reform and a new constitution, and an aesthetic face-lift on the old symbols of power with the election of the young Gabriel Boric of the new-left.
As the riots subsided and many people became willing to work within the channels of state bureaucracy, Boric and the new left were free to build coalition with the same forces that were in power before the Estallido, leaving many of the worst perpetrators of state repression in their same roles. A handful of political prisoners from the Estallido remain behind bars to this day (April 2025)
El primero de una serie documental de varias partes, InterRebellium 01. El Estallido Social es una historia contada a través de los ojos de los participantes anarquistas y anticoloniales del levantamiento de 2019 en los territorios ocupados por el Estado de Chile.
El Estallido Social fue un levantamiento popular en los territorios ocupados por el Estado chileno, desencadenado el 18 de octubre de 2019 por un alza de tarifas de 30 pesos. Lo que comenzó con una campaña liderada por estudiantes de evasión de tarifas de tránsito se extendió rápidamente a un levantamiento nacional que sacudió a la sociedad hasta sus cimientos.
Este levantamiento nació de la larga historia de revueltas en el llamado Chile. Por desgracia, como nos recuerda el participante Yza, las largas historias de revueltas suelen deberse a largas historias de represión. La represión en estas tierras se remonta a antes de la formación del Estado chileno, a la invasión y conquista española. Pero la era moderna comienza con el golpe de 1973 que instaló a Augusto Pinochet como dictador. Años de reformas neoliberales produjeron una clase trabajadora desilusionada y desorganizada. InterRebellium rastrea las raíces del levantamiento de 2019 hasta los movimientos estudiantiles de la década de 2000 y los movimientos feministas de mediados de 2010, así como a través de la resistencia indígena a lo largo de la historia de la dominación colonial. El movimiento también se inspiró en las tácticas de las revueltas que tuvieron lugar simultáneamente en Hong Kong y Ecuador.
Durante meses, miles de personas libraron batallas campales contra la policía y el ejército, organizaron redes de apoyo a los militantes de primera línea, crearon asambleas de barrio organizadas horizontalmente, participaron en huelgas generales y llevaron a cabo actos de incendio y sabotaje contra símbolos del poder y empresas multinacionales.
El Estallido se contuvo en última instancia mediante una combinación de brutal represión estatal, promesas de reforma y una nueva constitución, y un lavado de cara estético de los viejos símbolos del poder con la elección del joven Gabriel Boric, de la nueva izquierda. Cuando los disturbios amainaron y mucha gente se mostró dispuesta a trabajar dentro de los canales de la burocracia estatal, Boric y la nueva izquierda tuvieron libertad para coaligarse con las mismas fuerzas que estaban en el poder antes del Estallido, dejando a muchos de los peores responsables de la represión estatal en sus mismos puestos. Un puñado de presos políticos del Estallido siguen entre rejas a día de hoy (abril de 2025).
InterRebellium cubrirá la oleada mundial de revueltas de 2018-2020. El título viene del latín y significa «entre revueltas». Creemos que es importante aprovechar este tiempo entre oleadas para relatar nuestras experiencias a escala mundial, estudiar la última para estar mejor preparados para la próxima.
O primeiro de uma série de documentários, InterRebellium 01. The Estallido Social é uma história contada pelos olhos de participantes anarquistas e anticoloniais da revolta de 2019 nos territórios ocupados pelo Estado do Chile.
O Estallido Social (ou Explosão Social) foi uma revolta popular nos territórios ocupados pelo Estado chileno, desencadeada em 18 de outubro de 2019 por um aumento de 30 pesos na tarifa do transporte público. O que começou como uma campanha liderada por estudantes de pular as catracas do metrô rapidamente se transformou em uma revolta a nível nacional que abalou as bases da sociedade.
Essa revolta nasceu de uma longa história de revolta no chamado Chile. Infelizmente, como nos lembra a participante Yza, as longas histórias de revolta geralmente se devem a longas histórias de repressão. A repressão nessas terras é anterior à formação do Estado chileno, à invasão e conquista espanhola. Mas a era moderna começa com o golpe de 1973 que instalou Augusto Pinochet como ditador. Anos de reformas neoliberais produziram uma classe trabalhadora desiludida e desarticulada. InterRebellium traça as raízes do levante de 2019 nos movimentos estudantis dos anos 2000 e nos movimentos feministas de meados dos anos 2010, bem como na resistência indígena ao longo da história da dominação colonial. O movimento também assimilou dicas e táticas das revoltas que ocorreram simultaneamente em Hong Kong e no Equador.
Durante meses, milhares pessoas travaram batalhas de rua com policiais e militares, organizaram redes de apoio a militantes da linha de frente, criaram assembleias de bairro organizadas horizontalmente, participaram de greves gerais e realizaram atos de incêndio e sabotagem contra símbolos do poder e corporações multinacionais.
O Estallido acabou sendo contido por meio de uma combinação de repressão brutal do Estado, promessas de reforma e de uma nova Constituição, além de uma mudança estética nos antigos símbolos do poder com a eleição do jovem Gabriel Boric, da nova esquerda. À medida que os protestos diminuíram e muitas pessoas se dispuseram a trabalhar dentro dos canais da burocracia estatal, Boric e a nova esquerda ficaram livres para fazer coalizão com as mesmas forças que estavam no poder antes do Estallido, deixando muitos dos piores perpetradores da repressão estatal em suas mesmas funções. Um punhado de presos políticos do Estallido permanece atrás das grades até hoje (abril de 2025)
InterRebellium cobrirá a onda global de revoltas de 2018 a 2020. O título vem do latim e significa “entre revoltas”. Acreditamos que é importante aproveitar esse tempo entre as ondas para relatar nossas experiências em escala mundial e estudar o passado para que estejamos mais bem preparadys para o futuro

‘We are being psychologically manipulated at mass scale into consenting to the most nightmarish atrocities imaginable. Children’s bodies are being shredded to bits right in front of us’.

Trump is committing genocide for Israel after publicly admitting to being bought and owned by the Adelsons..
All the worst shit happens right out in the open. You don’t need to come up with any elaborate conspiracy theories to see it. It’s right there, completely unhidden.
Watch, Read and Listen to article HERE (reading by Tim Foley)
It’s not hidden, it’s just spun. Disguised by the propaganda of the mass media who frame this holocaust as a war of defense in response to a terrorist attack while constantly diverting our attention to other far less significant issues.
It says so much about the power of the imperial propaganda machine that Trump could openly admit to having been fully controlled by Adelson cash on the campaign trail, get elected, and then facilitate a blatant extermination campaign in Gaza while aggressively stomping out free speech that is critical of Israel throughout the United States — and somehow not have this be the main thing that everyone talks about all the time.
It is only because our minds are being forcefully manipulated by the powerful at mass scale that this has been the case
.https://x.com/mtracey/status/1837886438903357920
The narrative spin is greatly aided by the fact that Trump isn’t doing much different from the previous president here.
A public which has been indoctrinated from childhood into seeing everything in Democrat-vs-Republican binaries is conditioned to focus far more on the differences between the two parties than the similarities.
But you can learn a whole lot more about real power and what’s actually going on in the world by paying less attention to how US presidents differ from each other, and more attention to the ways in which they are the same.
The mass-scale psychological manipulation is so pervasive and ubiquitous that only a small minority are reacting to history’s first live-streamed genocide with an appropriate level of horror.
