Por um mundo sem catracas e sem violência machista!

Estamos aqui hoje para falar de um assunto que tem nos afetado muito nesses meses de luta contra o aumento: a presença de um agressor de mulheres no centro das mobilizações.

Há cerca de 6 meses um dos militantes do movimento passe livre de São Paulo ameaçou de morte, perseguiu, constrangeu, agrediu verbalmente, insultou e limitou o espaço físico de uma companheira de movimentos sociais autônomos.

Fazemos essa denúncia porque esse agressor continua frequentando os mesmos espaços políticos como se não houvesse acontecido nada ou como se aquilo que aconteceu não tivesse relevância política nenhuma. Que as agressões cometidas contra as mulheres sejam vistas como algo de pouca importância infelizmente não nos surpreende. Os movimentos sociais têm muita dificuldade de enfrentar coletivamente e publicamente as violências machistas que acontecem em seu meio. É estranho ver como as bocas daqueles que defendem todo o tempo que tudo é coletivo ou que assim deveria ser, ficam caladas nesse

An end to the occupation

Complicity, Duplicity, Monstrosity, Let me count the ways. A numerate response to the apparitions of neo-liberal confinement.

The Paper

1. The violence comes in waves of shock, panic and terror. As the waves crash, outrage emerges as the universal emotional condition: so commonplace as to become another affliction like an obsession with the weather. People are outraged about what is being cut and from whom. Others are outraged about occupations and property damage. With baton charges and things thrown from roofs. People are outraged about the complicity of the TUC, the duplicity of the Liberal Democrats and the so-called self-interest of students and public sector workers.

2. Outrage flies in all directions, creating a numb sense of brutality. There are two faces to this brutality. It is productive of both our ability to solve the twin crisis of profitability and governance and to their policing of our labouring bodies.

3. But outrage gives us no special insight: it is mere reaction. So it must be put to one side. We need to see why our struggles, actions and protests have invited the intensity of violence that they did. We must look to what the theatre of baton charges, horse charges and late night imprisonment meant.

4. The police are not merely an agent of repression. The idea of the police evolved from a set of practices……….

ICELAND: The Other FORMIDABLE REVOLUTION!

-> 93% of the People IMPOSE the Non-repayment of the Banks!

-> The other formidable revolution: blackout of the Media about this revolution.

As incredible as that can appear a democratic revolution and anti-capitalist takes place in Iceland, and nobody speaks about it, even the media does not relay information, you will almost not find a trace of it on “Google”.

The total blackout however, the nature of the events:

People drives out and they have besieged the presidential palace peacefully. The people replacement the liberal political party and have removed all the other political parties who is follow the same policy.

Iceland/Islandia: WE WONT PAY BANKS. Revolution!.

Its first pledge was to break all its promises, making the party almost impossible to attack, then it promised a polar bear to the zoo and a drug-free parliament within 10 years.

The party’s only advertisement was in a newspaper personal column, saying: “The Best Party wishes to meet good people aged between 18 and 90.” Its 10-point plan had 13 points. And the party’s campaign video featured candidates singing Tina Turner’s Simply the Best, with the chorus: “We are the best, the bestest of parties, best for Reykjavik, best city of every week.” It works in Icelandic.

Iceland was ripe for change, having effectively gone bust thanks to the cronyism of a cluster of politicians and bankers who thought that they could turn an island of fishermen with a population of 318,000 into a financial superpower.

In less than four years, the most rapid expansion of a banking system in history saw three privatised banks develop assets 10 times the size of the country’s GDP. It was the Icarus economy. Property prices tripled, the stock market multiplied nine times, and people borrowed heavily – often in foreign currencies – to cash in on the boom. The crash was fast, hard and painful, worsened by the collapse of the krona as the state, unable to bail out the banks, refused to pay foreign creditors.

The strategy looks smart now, compared with events in Greece and Ireland, but the country was angry and frightened. Voters wanted change, and the Best Party caught the mood, capturing Reykjavik with 34.7% of the vote. “No one has to be afraid of the Best Party,” said Jón in his acceptance speech. “Because it is the best party. If it wasn’t, it would be called the Worst Party or the Bad Party. We would never work with a party like that.”
