(en) Anarkismo.net: Press release of the Mexican Libertarian

A project of free and independent A libertarian and anarchist organizations ---- To the 
people in struggle ---- We have called this talk because, as we consider relevant 
anarchist movement to make public some of our positions, but we also need to express our 
total and complete solidarity with those who are in jail in prisons around the world by 
ideology in general and in particular our fellow anarchist Mario Lopez, the last held by 
the Mexican State, the latter figure attached to large lists of political prisoner in this 
country. ---- First, we must define some of our positions to those who, for a long time 
refused to hear anything that does not suit their profits and are blind to the obvious 
social, economic and political, but also to those who, handled information and make it 
appear to anarchism as a synonym for chaos and destruction.

We believe that the basis on which rests the current normalcy of things, is based on two 
false issues and inseparable, both driving principle of violence toward individuals, 
communities and peoples alike. On the one hand is the fit of our political ability to 
decide how we live and how, rapture that is disguised under an alleged will and consensus 
of those who, underneath, appear as governed, but in reality it is a form extreme violence 
against life by those who consider themselves owners and masters of politics known as 
"political class" - and also lords of force, forming a whole called State. This imposing 
separation between rulers and ruled, based on false and repugnant democratic system, which 
seeks to upgrade every six years in this country. So we, the anarchists do not participate 
in these farces and not give our vote our right to decide about ourselves. So also our 
friend Mario is not in any sense, a supporter of the Movement # I am 132, for among other 
things, we consider it as reformist, legalistic and alien to what we believe, want and 
build. What the prosecutors and police officers testified about the bracelet I'm # 132, 
which according to Mario carrying, is but the first signs of mounting construction from 
the detention of our colleague, that we suppose they wanted to take advantage as political 
spoils because it was made five days before the election expected insults and changing 
local and national executioners.

The other main basis of this system is what makes the fit of our ability to produce and 
reproduce our goods needed, is the legitimate private property and divides society between 
the haves and have-nots. We believe in short, as I said Pierre J. Proudhon in 1840 that 
the property is just a robbery. Theft, which of course is in the form of violence by the 
owners, and then appointed as a legitimate title. This theft primal, is what would after 
the now dispossessed had no choice but to sell their unique and important workforce.

These two bases, shape the modern capitalist system, as we saw is worth the use of 
violence, rage and strength to be justified then in terms of legal, right and normal. 
However, the capitalist system whenever it is updated and extreme violence. For us this 
means the exploitation of workers, whether the field or the city, but despite devote 
himself to work, enjoy no luxury and survive on less than the basics, and suffer hunger 
and to work under conditions of constant danger, is also reflected in the thousands of 
people who have to pay rent to live under a roof or failing that, sleeping in the streets 
in the thousands of others who have to migrate from their places of origin to get an 
operator and receive a miserable salary, in the thousands also die from lack of care daily 
from curable diseases and lower in others thousands who can not read or write because 
since childhood they were denied education, in those who are driven to perform work 
unworthy to live, in those who suffer the fury of their homes and farmland for the 
construction of new roads or shopping centers that are sure to never use, in whom, as the 
Indians are denied the right to be whatever they want to, to identify and organize under 
and by their means or are denied the space of social and cultural reproduction such as 
wirarika town, in those who make war their daily lives, as is the case for almost the 
entire population of the north of this country that is among the power struggles and 
violence among drug traffickers and the government, and we can put thousands of examples 
of this and all latitudes in the world, none have completely escaped this system of 
domination. In short, for us this system is primarily a settled form of direct violence 
against humans cluster that 80% of the world population that is neither the political 
class or the bourgeoisie.

There is the violence. This is the true attack on peace.

All this is done by creating and / or use of institutions and social and cultural values ? 
?that make the gear to work and revitalize small and large scale. Institutions such as 
schools, hospitals, patriarchy, prisons, family, all are aimed at building mechanisms of 
power and domination in different degrees. That is also why we declare ourselves not only 
against the state and capital, visible heads of domination and exploitation, but and all 
forms of power, authority and domination, fighting every day to an end, confronting not 
only the public life but to the private, everyday. That is also why we have never sought 
the conquest of power, of sovereignty, but the construction of autonomy, of emancipation 
and power relations based on equality and horizontality.

That's why we set ourselves as anarchists in other ways to understand and build our lives 
to unjustifiable and atrocious selfishness, we propose mutual support among peers, with 
its increasingly hierarchical society, we propose equality and fraternity to governmental 
or associative mediation, we propose direct action, that is, do what we want for our own 
without intermediaries; to his false peace and social democratic, unmask their war against 
the social fragmentation, we propose voluntary associations, with their verticality and 
horizontality, with its violence, self-defense referred to in the organization and 
construction of alternative livelihoods for the recovery of our independence and a 
dignified life, without masters, no gods.

Hence, this act is sample of one of the fundamental principles of our struggle: 
solidarity. We contemplate that solidarity is the basis, the bowels of any organization 
that advocates for freedom. So, recognizing Mario Lopez as an anarchist, we have done 
nothing but sympathize with him and that means, fight for their liberation, to be with him 
and his family as we can, because for us solidarity is not just a slogan provides a 
revolutionary status, but is an ethical principle that as anarchists we assume with ours, 
the exploited, with our peers. We are clear that the judicial system and political 
climate, anyone who speak out against their principles is immediately a criminal 
hypocrites, therefore, from start to asumirnos as anarchists, we know to be against its 
legality. So also distrust the laws that the system itself has done and given under its 
benefits, whims and needs. We have seen how, throughout history they are modified and 
molded to the ruling classes, we have seen also, sadly, how to lock over and over 
thousands of what their terms are called "innocent", thereby destroying their person, 
integrity and dignity.

We recognize as well that prison is not at any time a system of social rehabilitation but 
a punitive system that uses the power to engender fear, to destroy people, creating 
abnormalities, delinquencies, so that, through extreme surveillance, isolation , 
psychological torture and physical abuse end up destroying the humanity of every being. 
And that's not something that begins properly within the prison walls, but, as shown in 
the case of my friend Mario Lopez starts from the moment you fall into their clutches. Our 
colleague was subjected to strong psychological torture, having confessed to being an 
anarchist, he served for mounting a variety of inventive without any evidence to support this.

We consider prison as the ultimate monument of hatred of freedom, although we know that 
the bars of prisons beyond the prison and are installed in our daily lives, so, there 
imprison anyone who challenges the rules, assuming that confinement they'll shut up the 
voices of discontent and dissent. Our solidarity is complete with all who protect and 
defend the freedom struggle.

As anarchists we aim to defend ourselves from the chains that oppress us and that has led 
us to come together as a movement, to speak out in favor of real solidarity and against 
the whole system, whom we described as dangerous to desvirtuarnos Vagrancy front to 
society and show us as not worthy of being heard, to have credibility. That's what they 
did to Gut also said they had drug problems, who was arrested for that on occasion, under 
the assumption to believe that this is a dumb drug addict who raves about politics, which 
is synonymous with being an anarchist misfit . We, in defense of Mario belie it, some we 
know, we know that has never been, nor even legal drugs like alcohol and snuff 
consumption. Do not make a mockery of our colleague, we do not make a joke.

As the anarchist movement, we have always been against all power, that it makes any 
government to be our enemy, that it does now, we want to make a hunt, based on the alleged 
dismantling of a radical organization, which want to look for accomplices and allies, 
ties. It is mounting a case, where unfortunately, Mario Lopez works as a scapegoat in 
order to undermine our anarchist political stance.

Not the first time the Mexican government mounted cases and accusations against fellow 
anarchist and the libertarian movement. Remember the case of arrests at the counter in 
Guadalajara in 2004, where the anarchist movement was severely beaten, arrested several of 
its members and subject to criminal full of lies, or more recently the case of the 
anarchists and Emmanuel Victor Herrera Hernandez, who after being arrested and prosecuted 
for participating in marches (one on the memorial of the slaughter of students in 
Tlatelolco and the other in the March Against Water Forum IV), were sentenced for crimes 
invented by prosecutors.

These arrests, prosecutions and convictions are one more sign that the state take hold of 
all their resources to attack the process of organizing people and peoples, because 
despite its discourse of democracy and rule of law, are themselves the first to use its 
laws to make false accusations. For us it is clear that the State uses these and other 
means of support and legitimacy in a society increasingly disillusioned with political 
parties and their promises.

We denounce this, not because we believe in the legality of the state, which serves to 
maintain control over every aspect of social life and to monitor the population, to ensure 
its perpetuation and hegemony, which is based on domination and exploitation of peoples, 
but because it is important not to shut up what they are trying to do with our friend 
Mario, and to make known and publicly denounce the Federal District Government prepares a 
hunt for anarchists using the pretext of the arrest of our colleague and their alleged 
connections with other libertarian groups.

We realize that these arrests, police mounts and persecutions are intended to intimidate 
us to abandon our struggle for a fairer and freer world, however, declare that in spite of 
them, we organize ourselves and we will continue and extend our ideal of freedom, and 
Despite the risk of incarceration, continue to express our solidarity with Mario Lopez.

We reject and denounce the intention of the Federal District to mount a case against 
anarchism in the arrest of Mario, we know from the manipulation of facts that is happening 
in research. We recognize this as an attack assembly of the state against the anarchist 
movement.

Mario Lopez concerns us, is being attacked by the beast of the system, psychological and 
physical attacks it. We know that our colleague continues to resist, despite the gravity 
of his situation, has not been defeated. So, we announced that we as anarchist movement in 
struggle and make the necessary campaigns for the release of our colleague and prevent the 
assembly lies about you follow feeding false and distorted arguments. From here we also 
appeal to the solidarity of autonomous anti-capitalist struggle from their ability to 
perform actions for the release of Mario Lopez and attend the activities planned for this 
week began today with this press conference and continue on Wednesday, 11 July outside the 
Hospital Ruben Lenero located behind the Metro Military College at 3 pm and on Friday 13 
in the Moorish Kiosk, located in the Alameda-Santa Maria la Ribera, Buenavista-Metro after 
12 hours to participate in a political-cultural act in solidarity with Mario Lopez. Also 
call on the media and independent organizations to be alert to this situation.

No more, thank you for your assistance.
Freedom Mario Lopez, the gut
