Brazil, Organiza??o Resist?ncia Libert?ria - (ORL-CAB) INGOVERN?VEIS #3 - Popular Struggle and unity of the left (pt)

The capitalist system of domination and perpetuation of inequality in which we live, 
managed by the state, always renews its forms of oppression, exploitation and advancement 
of Capital. The State, through government action, has deployed countermeasures and 
supposedly "popular" that his speech opposing the improvement of life and economic 
development, brings countless losses to the poorest. These losses range from several 
arrochos wage, expropriation of territories (maroon, Indians and other native communities 
[1] ), to the denial and inability to carry out the simplest conditions of survival and 
most essential human rights (housing, health, education, food, access to water and energy, 
mobility).

Recently in Brazil, some of the major thrusts to the advancement of Capital are called 
mega projects (such mega events and mega-enterprises) [2] of development, filled with 
seductive advertisements ideological comes backed by governments (federal, state and 
local) neoliberal "entrepreneurs" and said the Left. In the same context, appears in the 
midst of struggles, a series of oppositions created by the very contradictions of everyday 
struggle. Conversely the strong unity maintained by entrepreneurs and managers of the 
state, the Left maintains its fratricidal division, aiming to compete in the "fruits" of 
the struggle of our people.

Currently , the weather before the fight against the removal of populations due to the 
2014 World Cup, pile up more examples. Much is said about the need for "unity in left 
field" of social movements and of all people who struggle against the advance of capital 
and a more unequal and less worthy. Well, we are the biggest supporters of unity in the 
struggle to advance the achievements of the popular classes and oppressed. Yet, as always 
cherish, we must combat opportunism in the spaces of struggle and articulation.

How Political Organization aimed at building the People's Power, could not disagree with 
the fact that the united people have much more strength. We believe that the struggles of 
various classes and social movements must be coordinated. But how is this joint popular 
struggle in this union? It's being together doing what seems most convenient, walking 
paths contradictory? We argue that not since secretes more and undermines the fight than 
enhances.

Indeed, this theme of unity is old. That's because there have always been differences 
between the various fields of the left and always spoke of the need to unite. Joining 
because our enemies are the same and extremely strong, because we are separated easy 
target. So far our understanding is the same. But when the practice of struggle requires 
consistency, the paths are different between the sectors involved. For us, the anarchists, 
the unit is not an abstract principle. It is built on daily struggle and solidarity of our 
people, shoulder to shoulder, side by side, which is very different from the summits of 
leaders who act detached from the daily struggle to articulate proposals to external 
actions and movements, replacing protagonism of the people in the fight!

"Left" today is a concept that eludes therefore implies that all groups under this title 
are similar, with the same practice. We know that many who raise this flag are actually 
linked to the mechanisms of the state in an extremely reformist government. 
Parliamentarians also said left-wing biennially reinforce the replacement of concrete 
struggles for electoral dispute and use these struggles to ascend politically, through the 
most comprehensive advertising, even lacking basis in real fights.

Beyond this current scenario of the Left, we see many parties, organizations and movements 
that treat people as if they were masses of maneuver . What does this mean? They believe 
that beings are non-thinking and are there to be guided, as cattle, a vanguard party 
organized in a vertical hierarchy that you want to drive social movements. For this 
current authoritarian socialism, the people is the basis that only serves to legitimize 
its actions and policies that can not build their struggles autonomously.

They believe that those who must actually decide on the course of the fight are those 
directions that act as enlightened beings and as if they were better able to direct the 
paths of the people, where they find most convenient. Other, even more opportunistic, have 
only moments to appear in advertising, underhanded way of increasing their own visibility, 
use the name of the people who are working every day on behalf of their agendas to appear 
publicly, often with private interests and / or purely electioneering.

We disagree vehemently these positions. disagree with those who want to take credit of 
popular work, as if they were responsible for the achievements of the organization and the 
popular struggle, built with the sweat of the people.

We believe that people should fight their own hands by educating yourself and making your 
own road. As our motto of The International: "Let us by our hands, everything that we 
respect." The position of our organization is that those who are sensitized to the popular 
struggle and want to help, acting severally and donate their militancy, should approach 
from the perspective of enhancing the fight, walking side by side and shoulder to shoulder 
with the people respecting their decision and joint spaces. Never ahead, as the fight 
director, operating covertly actions that hurt the autonomy movement.

The unit is built on a day-to-day struggle, within the people, and not in meetings of 
"domes" or moments of pure propaganda. We advocate a performance guided respect and ethics 
activist with deep honesty and respect with everyone who build the fight every day, 
denying utilitarianism and opportunism. It is a performance that does not receive anything 
in return, not intended parliamentary gains, financial position or advertising. Rather, it 
seeks daily without fail the construction of Popular Power, so always horizontal and 
combative.

We organized / of the oppressed and exploited classes, we do not want new / the 
aproveitadoras / s. Addition, we are already filled for centuries. Yes we need to drive 
our sectors, but between the people and with respect and awareness of the tasks that lie 
ahead. The unit is made in the struggle between popular and who really is the guy fights, 
and not between political organizations that articulate the default of / the true / the 
wrestlers / s. We know that the interests of political organizations often may not 
coincide with the interests of social movements. Already popular in the fight, where we 
are all / the, our actions may resemble our proposals and can converge. But we must always 
be aware of who the real subject of struggles without opportunism and disrespect.

That's where we want to see all / the the / the companions / os: the social struggle! 
Ethically, consistent and respectful.



FIGHT, MAKING PEOPLE POWER!
